This girl has proved that the Hijab covers the head not the brain. I am not a votary of the Hijab but I feel that the choice of head gear should be left to the choice of the students, just like it is for Sikhs. The colour can be in conformity with the colour of school uniform

The 70th birthday of one of our greatest living actors. Naseeruddin Shah. What you probably don't know is how much he loves his cricket. He & the late Tom Alter had their own team, Match Cut XI & played regularly. His nephew, Owais Shah, played for England, and later in the IPL!

Totally agree with Prof Tripathi. Madarsas, much demonised, were institutions that educated all children. Dr Rajendra Prasad, our first President, studied in one. There is need to revert to this inclusivity, must modernise. The ‘Bridge Course’ at AMU works in that direction.

I stand solidly behind Saira Shah Halim in her quest to win the Kolkata South constituency. My daughter has imbibed discipline, honesty and dedication but also true love for our country and its citizens. She will work tirelessly to be a worthy representative of the people.

Yes,I had told the students that before I came to AMU I had 4 children. After taking over as VC I had 32004. The students believed it and I had to strive very hard to take care of them. Thank you for your love, Aligs

Army veterans are a store house of knowledge, much under-utilised by the nation. They must be heard and maybe that is why they,sometimes, get into unproductive discussions

Title of book may indicate communal slant - not so. Clarified that a Govt Servant, who adheres to rules, is branded with this sobriquet. Also applies to a person who has sold his soul for 40 pieces of silver. Read then Army Chief’s remarks - best commendation ever received.

Gen MacArthur’s view on brokered peace to end Korean War: " Appeasement of Red China. History teaches that appeasement begets new, bloodier war. A sham peace,lays basis for new and successively greater demands until violence becomes the only other alternative” We have learnt

I was always of opinion that Muslims would gain nothing fighting for the demolished Babri Masjid. There would have no losers if we had conceded. This time I stand for upholding the law of the land. Conversion of places of worship only followed conquests. Is that so now?

Open calls for violence as witnessed at Haridwar 17-19 Dec highly inflammatory and a crime. Strong condemnation by authority no less than PM can end this madness. We expect ‘..Sub ka Vishwas’ too.

I am reluctant to make statements on religion but the disparaging remarks against the Prophet of Islam is unacceptable. So is the violence after Friday Prayers on this issue. Protest is a democratic right violence is unacceptable.

US Presidential election. Trump wrongly felt that polarisation of society would serve his purpose. Most impressive was spine showed by top Military leadership stating, categorically, that they served the constitution. US Supreme Court, Republican packed, showed same mettle.

Being a boxer myself I loved his poetry ‘ Liston is mine I’ll knock him out in nine’. He had guts to throw his Olympic gold medal into the river after he experienced discrimination. Amul’s ad of 1976/77 ‘ Utter Ali- Butter Ali’ was their best ad ever.
