How we were turned into a nation of elated suckers

Chats suggest that Pulwama massacre made Mr Righteous Indignation of TV whoop ‘this attack we have won like crazy’, and the government smelt a chance to make Indians feel ‘elated’ before the polls

A retd bureaucrat said biggest threat to India is not China but religious polarization. While I appreciate d sentiment, I do not agree. Polarization, like riots, suggests reciprocity. Wht we r faced with today is ultra radicalisation of d majority. It's a one-sided sentiment

The truth is, if India find courage and honesty to peacefully resolve the #Kashmir issue with #Pakistan , not only South Asia, but Asia itself can be transformed into a region of interconnected, interdependent nations with stakes in each other's welfare

One big lesson from #UkraineRussia for India: You will have to fight your own war. Hence, your policies have to factor in your limitations and enemy's strength. Once again Indian adage to rescue: jitni chadar utne pair phailane chahiye

Many are advising @RahulGandhi that he should not always criticise the #RSS because many people who oppose Modi sympathize with it. I feel, all sane people in India must call out the #RSS repeatedly as the sole source of our divisiveness. RSS has no cause. Only agenda

#Vajpayee was the pioneer of dog whistle politics. From his speech in #Assam before #Nellie masaccre, in #Lucknow before #BabriMasjid demolition and at BJP's Goa convention after 2002 violence in Gujarat. Could there be another example of devious politics?

Among India's biggest misfortunes has been it national security advisor. Through myth-making, quite like Bal Narendra, he has assumed a position bigger than his office. And is hurtling India's defence & security into an abyss

Perhaps it's difficult to understnd d fear Muslims r feeling in their veins today. U don't have to understand it, U don't have to b guilty about it. But acknowledge it. Don't dismiss it as exaggeration or a conspiracy against Modiji. This is not about him. This is about Indians

Sachin Pilot gave much-required treatment to Smita Prakash on the fake propaganda being spread by the BJP leaders and Modi. She couldn’t assess any single point properly and started fumbling. It’s a Must Watch& Share maximum!
