As a devout, practicing Hindu, I take strong exception to the gross misuse of a very sublime word - Bhakt - for political warfare, same way as racist use / abuse of the word "Hindu" for white-washing Nehruvian Secular Socialist Growth.

In the very Preamble of our Constitution the word ‘Secular’ is added that equates and shields all religions and hence the Chair of the Chief Minister must uphold such tenets of the Constitution.

I welcome the resolve of the political parties in J&K to insist on the restoration of status quo ante. J&K must be a state again, articles 370 an 35A must be brought back and in fact become the basis for more powers to all states. I stand with the people of J&K.

We once had marginal tax rates at 97.75% (under IG, not JLN, a point to be noted) plus wealth tax as well. Another point to note: current rate (42.75%) is the highest rate we have had under a non-Cong regime n supposedly a RW govt.

Ibn Khaldun Bharati: Taunts are being hurled at India for not yet having a PM of foreign origin, or, more specifically, a Muslim. The fact, however, is that for a thousand yrs, till a mere 75 years ago, our rulers had been foreigners - of foreign origin n self-avowed foreigners.

I wonder why people waste their time arguing with Dr K Elst abt origins of Vedas - or other ancient scriptures! He is an expert / scholar of political Hinduism n rel issues, not philosophical Hinduism! Just ignore him wrt the later issues!

situation is similar to India's few months ago but see the diff in news report - by very same @TheEconomist .. why? b/c this one is how a professional report is done whereas that was an activist's p-jehad, not reporting.

If a BJP-led govt can't honor someone like K Elst - who has done more than all in BJP-RSS combined to produce first rate analysis / defense of their ideology n movement (n paid so much professionally for that "mistake" - who will honor him? Cong-led or Commie-controlled govt?

Time has come to do away with the Ritual of President’s address to joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament & Governor’s address to Vidhan Sabha’s. It is an inane recitation of a laundry list of Government’s alleged achievements. A sheer waste of precious Legislative time.
