  1. While the debate was raging about whether the Indian Economy will see a V shaped, U shaped or K shaped recovery, the Virus decided to have a J shaped recovery.

  2. "The good thing about maoists is that they never agree with each other! " 😂😂😂😅😅😅
    312
  3. "Indian Democracy attracts extremists into the mainstream". - Real GEM of a quotation.
    199
  4. I can't wait for your May 2nd episode. I already feel the suspense.
    193
  5. They burnt her without doing post mortem only to destroy the evidence and now you are forced to say "alleged rape".
    188
  6. The Rajapakse brothers were generously rewarded by the Sinhala people for their role in the Genocide of Tamils in 2009. They are reaping its consequences 13 years later.
    180
  7. Why am I the only one to believe that it's due to unemployment and rural distress?
    139
  8. You published what you disagreed with. That is called CONFIDENCE.
    137
  9. Thanks for uploading this, Print.
    135
  10. That 20% is not INC committed voters but anti RSS base.
    126
  11. Well nobody can save a nation that collectively wants to perish.
    112
  12. There is one difference though. Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had the sense to start a new party
    91
  13. Thank you very much Sir for mentioning Karikaala Cholan. He was the greatest Cholan (not Rajarajan or Rajendran ).
    89
  14. Thank you very much Professor for putting things in perspective - the supporters of Hijab and supporters of Ghunghat are from the same side, not opposite sides. Thanks for seeing through. The way Salman Rushdie and Taslima Nasreen were treated by UPA is also anti liberal. Liberals in India need to say this loudly.
    85
  15. Indian numbers are not declining, because of the Kerala numbers.
    85
  16. The ultra rich worried that there won't be enough slaves to enslave. Wolves worried there won't be enough sheep to hunt.
    74
  17. Remember the "Doctrine of Lapse" devised by Dalhousie? 1848 to 1856. The doctrine empowered the East India Company to annex states without a direct natural heir. Adoptions irritated Dalhousie.
    70
  18. When he said "Out of syllabus" I went back to my school days.
    63
  19. I don't know the first thing about finance, economics or banking. Yet I understood this. There lies your greatness. Thank you so much Professor.
    62
  20. What was united by Nationalism got divided by Religion. What was divided by Religion has been sub divided by caste. What has been sub divided by caste is being salami sliced by sub caste. This is what YOU had us believe. Not my own thinking
    57
  21. By making him resign, they have added to his fame. At least I am here and came to know about him only because they made him resign.
    57
  22. I wish him all the best. I wish he will achieve what he plans for the original Tipraha people. May God give him Victory
    55
  23. Thank you very much Sir for explaining the difference between ordinary defectors and meteorologists.
    47
  24. The people who had been cunningly kept away from their share of resources have slowly started getting their dues. And that is the greatness of DEMOCRACY itself. I don't care what anybody calls it - vote bank politics, divisiveness, opportunism or anything they want. But the Union Cabinet expansion that we saw last and now this CM appointment call for celebration.
    47
  25. Felt like reading 5 chapters of Civics. Extremely educative. Thank you very much Sir.
    45
  26. I believe that the Biggest achievement of the Cholans is neither those Grand Temples nor the wars they won but the network of canals in Kaveri Delta. I honestly hope this works. Will be good for the area for centuries to come.
    45
  27. Shahji and Yogiji might be friendlier than they seem.
    41
  28. Parties like AIMIM or in TN a party like Naam Tamilar may in the short term seem to help the BJP but if BJP is really encouraging them as accused, they are being dangerously short sighted.
    37
  29. Another thing which hasn't changed in 32 years is that those Sultans /Emirs of UAE still protect Dawood Ibrahim's sprawling empire.
    36
  30. It is so pleasing to see such wide acknowledgement of the fact that reservation is for correcting a historic wrong. I didn't know that so many people understand this.
    36
  31.  @karankapoor2701  Please take a deeper look at the alliance history of BJP all over the country. It uses alliance partners as ladders and kicks them away after creating voter base.
    34
  32. There is an Armenian Church and an Armenian Street in Chennai.
    34
  33. Really useful information Pia, Good Job!👍
    33
  34. Tonight I realised how poor my GK has been all along.
    32
  35. He got the pronunciation of "Kanimozhi" Bang on. Many Tamils mispronounce it. How did he do that?
    30
  36. No Hindu would ever try to prevent Keralitrs from celebrating Onam.
    30
  37. You're looking bright today Sir. This colour suits you. Please wear more of this style.
    30
  38. Those of us who thought that when petrol price reaches 1000, we can buy electric bike have nowhere to go now. Doom. Total doom.
    29
  39. I wonder what Dr. P V Narasimha Rao would have run into, if twitter and whatsapp had been there in 1991.
    29
  40. Wish you a Happy New Year Professor.
    28
  41. We never know when this virus will mutate into Pi, Rho, and Sigma. So I continue to be CAREFUL.
    27
  42. Best Wishes to Mr. Pradyot Debbarma. May God bless him with all success. Long live the Tipraha people.
    25
  43. Dear Professor, though I am a born cynic, your smile and your excitement compel me to trust this. I really really really hope you are totally absolutely right. A lot rides on it.
    24
  44. Respecting people's views is actually a good thing. It is democracy at work.
    24
  45. Even Kamarajar's mid day meal scheme was criticised as a freebie at that time. Now it is hailed as a measure that solved malnutrition and illiteracy.
    24
  46. In TN at least, the BJP scored its biggest one yet by doing a really laudable thing. It has acceded a long standing demand of the Devendra Kula Vellalars.
    22
  47. The biggest animosity held by Tamil people against the present power centres is that while claiming to be pro Hindu they casually cancelled all the Kovil Thiruvizhas (Village Temple Festivals).
    22
  48. "Radical Secularism " is the latest oxymoron coined by an increasingly chaotic world. I fear where this will lead to.
    22
  49. Adivasis and dravids are nowhere in the demographic competition. Muslims and bimarus are champions of fast breeding.
    21
  50. Indian market is very big. So nothing to worry. Ola has a segment. Ather has a different segment.
    21
  51. Sir I know very little Hindi. But I was taught that Tabela means a horse stable and that a Tabla player is called Tabalchi.
    20
  52. Why do I see a strange similarity between yesterday's CTC and today's CTC?
    20
  53. I have become a fan of her dressing style. The white saree with with National Flag colour border. The full sleeve blouse. The low pony tail. I hope to copy the whole of it some day. And of course I am so proud to see her taking oath today.
    20
  54. Let the BHASMASUR and its creator fight it out amongst themselves. Let's focus on India's growth.
    20
  55. Even Gujarat is coastal. However, do exceptions make a rule?
    19
  56. The eighties saw terrorism, drug addiction, ragging deaths, unemployment related distress and what not. Dr. PVN Rao solved it all. Drug addiction and unemployment have made a comeback. We need another Narasimha Rao.
    19
  57. Mahant Narendra Giri was forgotten as soon as Manish Gupta happened. Manish Gupta is forgotten even before anything else happens.
    19
  58.  @dasamitkumar  And Mr. Modi brought Xi Jinping and did masti with him for days together in Mahabalipuram while we watched helplessly. Photos of them holding hands, etc send chills down my spine till today.
    19
  59. "Peaceful transition to democracy". Sounds nice. But if he had conducted elections and brought democracy when he had power, the theocracy may not have taken over in the first place.
    18
  60. USAID chorus suddenly stopped
    18
  61. Please Stop sitting on the table. It does scare me.
    18
  62. Government should have more control with a law similar to HR& CE
    18
  63. Bangladeshis have been smart enough to send Begum Khalida Zia out and vote for Sheikh Haseena.
    18
  64. Thank you SSSOOO much. Please cover the arrival of Cheetahs also
    17
  65. "He betrayed everyone he partnered with."
    17
  66. Dr. Subramanian Swamy's good friend and respected guest at Tirupati, Rajapakse has brought this upon Sri Lankans.
    17
  67. I think you are being a little too fast.
    16
  68. It was particularly painful to look at Mrs. Kanhaiyalall dressed in her bridal lehenga and crying. Heartbreaking.
    16
  69. Proud of You Urmila Ji. And thank you Ms. Sagarika Kissu.
    16
  70. ... And they call him a communist.
    16
  71. Christian missionaries operate on industrial scale elsewhere and the slow pace in India bothers them much more than you think. And the people you would never imagine to be on their side are preparing the ground for industrial scale harvest of souls in India. By the time it comes out in the open it will be too late.
    16
  72. We need to be prepared for the third wave. And for other diseases like malaria breaking out due to the corona pandemic being out of control.
    16
  73. The party and its parent organisation conduct regular surveys. all the time. they are aware of ground realities. always.
    15
  74. The outrage in the comments shows how much these Steppes migrants hate the native Indian Culture.
    15
  75. Really informative and actually refreshing CTC during these sordid times.
    15
  76. Yogiji's term as CM of UP might be interrupted by Yogiji becoming PM of India. Don't you think so?
    15
  77. Private sector jobs in Vietnam came up BEFORE this doge operation.
    14
  78. Yes Sir. All parties have High Command culture and there is no debate inside parties. That is why Constitution designed multi party parliamentary democracy. Parliament and Assemblies are for debate. Multiplicity of parties for maintenance of independent thinking.
    14
  79. Does this mean that we will see the data relating to employment also getting blocked soon?
    14
  80.  @saif9765  If Hindus consolidated behind BJP, its voteshare wouldn't be 38 %, it would be 83 %. Remember BJP does not have a single MP from TN which has 87% Hindu population.
    14
  81. You really have a GREAT sense of humour. I am sure Bihar will improve faster than you think.
    13
  82. You bring so much optimism. I almost believe that Samuel Huntington was wrong. I really hope you're right. I do hope Nationalism and ideology are stronger sentiments than religious identity or ethnicity. For the sake of future.
    13
  83. Rafael issue did not help Mr. Modi. Balakot did. Likewise, Adani issue will not help Mr. Modi. But, Bhavya Ram Mandir will. Even if the present Government sells away one kidney of each Indian citizen, people will still vote for Mr. Modi.
    13
  84. Mohan Bhagwat coming to TN and celebrating Pongal instead of compelling Tamils to fly kites is the real achievement of Dravidian politics.
    13
  85. Wishful thinking
    13
  86. Failure to bring UCC is due to internal difference of opinion within Sangh Parivar. While some of them want a more equitable system for Muslims, some want to make it regressive for Hindus also. For example, by legalising bigamy for all males including Hindus and Christians.
    13
  87. But one can't claim to the upholder of the Hindu religion in TN after cancelling all the Amman Temple Festivals and Aiyanaar Temple Festivals casually. Also this CAA proposition that Punjabi Sindhi and Bengali Christian refugees can derive its benefits but the Hindu Tamil refugees cannot has also not slipped under the eyes completely.
    13
  88. I always said BJP & INC help each other purposefully.
    12
  89. Me being a total ignoramus, first thought that the beeps were expletives. But your comment makes me ask whether they were something else.
    12
  90. They can tell us the incarnations of Nithyanadha and Asaram Bapu also. We will send them willingly to china.
    12
  91. I can't thank you enough for taking this stand against electoral bonds and for explaining it so beautifully.
    12
  92. Thanks for another brilliant History Lesson Sir.
    12
  93. Propagandists will always try to misuse facts to their advantage. That should not stop journalists from reporting the facts.
    12
  94.  @Abbyramrosy  I am glad that they didn't say it is Nehru's fault.
    12
  95. A thriving economy can be brought to its knees even without socislistic endeavours. We have all witnessed it.
    11
  96. Socialists always root for the underprivileged. Every Indian under the british rule was underprivileged irrespective of his or her ideology. Nothing to be surprised.
    11
  97. The major objection to GM is about monopoly of seed companies, not health.
    11
  98. I am glad that the discourse has been civil between the two gentlemen.
    11
  99. Sunak's father in law NR Narayana Murthy is a much celebrated man. For his achievements in India.
    11
  100. NRIs world over are often asked "Are you a Patel?"
    10
  101. Jebktron se dar ke daaku bulwa liye
    10
  102. They discredited the index.
    10
  103. Delhi Police should be brought under the Government of Delhi. Please Support.
    10
  104. There used to be an extremely hard working CIA and so much work was done on the ground towards that end. With persons like Trump on top, the world has lost hopes of such achievements. I mean USSR did not fall by itself and right now there is nobody to do that kind of consistent work against China.
    10
  105. Are judgments implemented now a days,?
    10
  106. Anything that cannot go wrong will also go wrong
    10
  107. She was burnt hurriedly with intention to destroy the evidence.
    10
  108. His family might continue it despite the tragedy.
    10
  109. The IT wing has been going around calling the Rajapakse brothers as socialists. Very soon these liars will brand Shweta Singh as left wing. They are very talented. Truth has no chance in front of them.
    10
  110. That genocide is the reason why the 1971 was fought and Bangladesh was freed from the genocidal Pakistan.
    10
  111. I don't know why some steppes descendants hate the Great Sindhu Nadi so much. It nurtured them too.
    10
  112.  @80sidd  No, a vote hoping for employment providing industries in service sector and in a hope for MSMEs. That's the direction.
    10
  113. So, this is an extra cut the clutter today? That is acutally a bonus. Because National Inteest is actually about Salman Khurshid's .......
    9
  114. Please convince Mr. Modi to repeal the electoral bonds Law. A lot of pressure will go away and he along with people like you will be able to steer the government in the right direction.
    9
  115. Social indicators are not due to industrialisation. This is more about social reforms. Periyar did a great job. EMS Nambudri Pad and that bunch was something else. Land reforms in Kerala are unparalleled. Guru Nanak Dev is the reason why Punjab is socially far ahead of Haryana while Haryana has a much higher per capita GDP than Punjab. But the greatest reformer of all time Dr. B. R. Ambedkar's hard work was partially neutralised by the enforcers of Manusmriti from Nagpur.
    9
  116.  @kalyantr7  Nothing. Except that they did something similar, long long ago.
    9
  117. Believe it or not Sir, I find Supreme Court Judgments easier to understand than today's National Interest Column. Some commenter please tell me what this professor is trying to tell us.
    9
  118. I request Dr. Shamika Ravi to conduct a similar study based on Linguistic majority / minorities all over the world.
    9
  119. Nostalgia. As you took me back to my school days when I was trying to memorise the periodic table. But today's class was much much more than that. Thank you for a wonderful class Professor.
    9
  120. I am confused - So Shia Iran supports Sunni Hamas; Sunni Saudi Arabia supports Jewish Israel - Are these guys nuts?
    9
  121. Sticker ukhaad diya. But they will again vote for BJP after 3 years.
    9
  122. Wonder why Islam never spread to South America.
    9
  123. Just that we are not in top 5 or bottom 5.
    9
  124. The tailpiece is a gem. I don't know what to say. Nobody else could have told us this. The fact that these tribal leaders found India trustworthy gives me goosebumps. Was their trust because we are a democracy or because we Indians tend to love our diversity?
    8
  125. Happy Republic Day, Professor and thanks for this very informative CTC on the eve of Republic Day.
    8
  126. That "important industrial projects were being diverted to Gujarat" is a fact, not perception.
    8
  127. Will they at least let the people of Sentinel Island be?
    8
  128. Best Wishes to you Mr. Debbarma
    8
  129.  @Indology_And_Geopolitics  Doesn't change the fact that Adivasis and dravids watch from the sidelines as fast breeders fight it out amongst themselves.
    8
  130. Inequality Data is quite irrelevant. Poverty Data in absolute numbers is what really matters. Agreed. And that was going down for quite some time - 25 years or so. But is it going down now? If not, do we have a socialist government now?
    8
  131. The DMK is known for doing things technically and cleverly, things which are not always as good as they look.
    8
  132. I have some friends and relatives living in a few parts of the great Continent who can't stop talking about the rich culture. We don't share that prejudice that some have. One of my friends tells me that Ethiopian cuisine is closest to ours and that Mesir Wat and atakilt wat resemble Sambar and poriyal, alternatively Dal and Sabzi and that Injera is a bit like multi grain Dosa. She says these food items are totally Vegan.
    8
  133. Sir You took me back by 30 years when DD & AIR used to air programmes to educate people on health issues and vaccination (a lot of it about pregnancy, malnutrition and child birth).
    8
  134. But Sir when the mantra of Test Test Test was spelt out you chose to differ!!!!
    8
  135. Yes, both BJP and its handmaid NTK are on the rise. TN is no more the garden of peace it used to be.
    8
  136. Eagerly waiting.
    8
  137. 46 days is too long a period to wait for results after having voted.
    8
  138. A stand against child marriage is appreciable. Really appreciable. If BJP is so clear on it, why does His Excellency The Governor of TN have an opposite stand?
    8
  139.  @orangelays5084  He is not generalising the community. He never said majority is doing this. Erroneous interpretation. He said majority should not keep quiet. He bases his apprehension that majority will stay quiet on the fact that the victims of Bulli Bai are Muslims. But his apprehension is unfounded. Hindus are already raising the issue. The government which has taken swift action here is quite much Hindu.
    8
  140. Keep medicines ready for cholera etc.
    8
  141. Really detailed and helpful to understand CTC today. And the article by Shruti Kapila was refreshingly different.
    8
  142. Their idea of a Modi successor is Mr. Yogi Adityanath.
    8
  143.  @Indoalthist  Mother India loves her children equally with all their diversity. Maharani Priscilla Chan wants Indian land, free of encumbrance. Indians will die but will not let her take away. Tribals are the first Indians and will live India whether you like it or not. We Indians get to decide who lives in India, not you.
    7
  144. I think the rest of the country should learn from Goa. Goans really vote for the candidate rather than for the party.
    7
  145. History, Geography, International Law, and of course GeoPolitics! PHEW!
    7
  146.  @oliverqueen5095  He will appoint Raghuram Rajan as FM and go off on a vacation if INC wins. That may not be as bad as people imagine.
    7
  147.  @kotharishashank  Why can't you understand the difference between LTTE and the Tamil population of SL? What's with this typical privileged mentality?
    7
  148. There are people who claim to have debunked the spherical earth theory also.
    7
  149. The CTC was very informative as usual. Additionally I want to say that the article by Mansi Phadke about the underworld's relationship with Maharashtra politics was very very interesting, on print.in.
    7
  150. Really important information Professor. Thank you so much. But worrying.
    7
  151. For Bollywood, Indian culture either means UP brahminic culture or punjabi song and dance.
    7
  152. Not Thiruvalluvar? Not Avvai Patti?
    7
  153. Heartening to see so many people suggesting judicial reforms. While AIJS , NJAC may be welcome, I hope they don't push too much of arbitration in the guise of judicial reform. That will become privatisation of judiciary.
    7
  154. Tribal elders of all tribes of all regions, not just the north eastern region but even those caught right in between the BIMARU region should form their own parties and fight national elections. Mr. Pradyot Deb Burman and the Sorens are so promising.
    7
  155. He has already been so much help to Mr. Modi that I am sure he will do whatever Mr. Modi tells him to do.
    7
  156. Caste politics is present in most states
    7
  157. Maharashtra and Karnataka do not lie on a boundary of two tectonic plates. Anything done at such a sensitive area needs extra research and double check.
    7
  158.  @libshastra  By 1962, it was in power for fifteen continuous years already. That is when it started. For BJP it will be in 2029. Let's wait and see how democratic BJP is in 2029.
    7
  159. Funny how many people think Trump is anti china while china grew by leaps and bounds with generous help from him also succeeded in killing tens of thousands of Americans under Trump if not with active connivance. Wisdom lies in differentiating between empty rhetoric and real action.
    7
  160. Damage done by IG and RG was being slowly undone by PVNR, ABV, AND MMS. Not any more.
    7
  161. I never thought I would find myself agreeing with the Vice President Mr. Jagdeep Dhankhar. Life is still able to surprise me. So I repeat what I keep posting all the time. The anti-defection law is anti-democratic and should go.
    7
  162. This is exactly why we respect you so much Sir. You present facts as facts and opinion as opinion. Never mixed the two. Please keep up the good work.
    7
  163. Mr. Modi transferred money from poor to the rich by increasing GST and reducing corporate Income Tax. If Rahul Gandhi wants to transfer money back to the poor he should reduce GST and increas Income Tax. Otherwise, all Yojanas will fail.
    7
  164. Einstein refused to go settle down in Israel
    7
  165.  @rohitdudhgaonkar8629  Please don't be sorry to inform because you are absolutely right. I am rather ignorant and I am trying to learn. Please help if you can.
    7
  166. Sir your summary dismissal of the third front pains me because you are absolutely right. They cannot win. You even explained the reason a few days ago. Our National politics is determined by that region which produces more children than goods and services.
    7
  167. Interesting National Interest today. Further, the article about Oligarchs in Ukraine hit me out of the blue.
    6
  168. Loads of new and interesting information gathered today from this CTC. Thank you Professor.
    6
  169. It is really heartening and satisfying to know about all these bright young people. Thank you so much professor.
    6
  170. Europeans obviously find a European language easier to learn.
    6
  171. It is actually the high percentage of brahmin population
    6
  172. Anti emergency movement was lead by George fernandes
    6
  173. Jharkhand is slowly rising in some social indices. Power to Tribal Leaders. May there be more like him.
    6
  174. BJP does claim all this. And a good number of people believe it too. The problem is that entrepreneurs don't argue. They silently find better avenues.
    6
  175. The soldiers recruited under the scheme are called Agniveers. The scheme is called Agnipath.
    6
  176. His difficult times started when Yash Chopra died.
    6
  177.  @lataramooji5234  I heard that Kapil Dev was the first cricketer to support the wrestlers and that he is the one who got the 1983 team also to support.
    6
  178. मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम श्रीराम के आते ही सच्चाई की जीत होने लगी !
    6
  179. Why did the Khattar government give him a clean chit?
    6
  180. What is there to Indianise about the people of North Eastern States? They are already ethnically and culturally Indian. If there is anyone who needs Indianising, it is the Aryans.
    6
  181. Not at all. I go to sleep waiting for CTC. I get up and watch CTC first thing in the morning. I am truly old.
    6
  182.  @shubhamsagarsingh9451  Shah Rukh Khan has power over Mr. Modi's CBI? Oh But I thought Mr. Modi provides such Good Governance. I thought Even gangsters like Atiq Ahmed are dealt with so coolly? Then why is CBI under Mr. Modi and Mr. Shah so incompetent as to buckle under a private individual? Pray tell me.
    6
  183. When such a Desi name as Gurgaon was sanskritised to Gurugram, most people did not protest. But when this Arabic Persian name is being replaced with its old Sanskrit name there is such a huge opposition?
    6
  184. Thank you Sir for this wonderful interview.
    6
  185. Really ENRICHING CTC as Sunday gift. Thank you Professor.
    6
  186. @Neil Bajwa You need to see the network of canals in the Kaveri Delta to know what I mean. There's hardly any dryland left at all. And Kaveri is not really as mighty as the Ganga or the Nile. Now please don't start saying that I am saying something against Kaveri. It is our revered river.
    6
  187. The only Bangladeshis who condemned it were the secular liberals.
    6
  188. How many times does he have to display his passport for the cameras?
    6
  189. INC became rather dynastic after nearly fifteen years in power.
    6
  190.  Priyank Bhandari  Voting for a party or person is different from worshipping a leader. We should worship Ram. We should not worship living humans.

  196. There are parts of the country where private sector jobs are available if not government jobs.
    6

  202.  @oliverqueen5095  Atleast they don't have the magic wand of destruction. And. Blaming previous office bearers for current destruction doesn't cut ice with people who read.

  211. Mrs. Gandhi whose government's incompetence lead to first two of what you have mentioned was herself killed quite violently. And so was Mr. Rajiv Gandhi on whose shoulders we can place some blame for negligence during 1984 killings. Even Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler have been punished by law.

  212. I hope that the police are able to find their funder.
    5
  213. The Mumbai Police is very talented. And this time, there is an initial push in the correct direction by the Government of Maharashtra also. I only hope that the Dada of all Dadas behind the swift enquiry not enter into some stupid compromise in return for freeing one of his corrupt leaders.

  217. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have no guts when it comes to china

  218. Articles 14 and 21 use word "person", not "citizen". Article 19 and many other Articles use the term "citizen".
    5
  219. Your UPSC aspirant audience might even have known about this already. However, for ordinary people like me, this so, so illuminating, educative and I don't know what to say.

  230. Having looted Asia and Africa for four centuries, the European countries had lot of money to spend and take moral high ground. Now they are running out of the looted money. So they want to recolonise the resource rich remaining world. Loosening the morals is necessary.

  231. Foreign policy has moved from idealism to national interest

  237. I really think that yours is the correct way of looking at it. Yes. People vote for the person. I hope that people of the other states also start doing this. Party heads should not have concentrated powers with them. Each legislator or parliamentarian should be allowed to think independently.

  246. The Middle class is shrinking.
    4
  247. Talking of drugs without talking of the 3000 ton consignment; talking of nexus between politics and crime without talking of the mafia government itself; talking about the Bangladesh crisis while conveniently refusing to acknowledge diplomatic failure; talking about the failure to reach middle income level while refusing to accept the responsibility for systematically causing malnutrition. That's clever. Surprised he couldn't find somebody to blame for the monthly train accidents.

  256.  @MAC-vi7fy  Sameer Wankhede is accused of trying to extract bribe from the parents of persons he arrested. He didn't pull off the stunt for publicity alone. That is what I said.

  261. @Neil Bajwa Temples have been built by many other empires also. Nothing to beat the Kallanai and the canals. The Kaveri Delta marginally escaped even the 1876 famine created by Robert Bulwer Lytton. Thanks to that. The Vaigai, Thamirabarani, Paalar etc belts experienced the Madras Province famine.

  271.  @parvadhami980  Yes Sir they were expansionists whereas Karikaala Cholan was a welfarist and builder of unmatchable infrastructure.
    4
  272. Our Constitution was way ahead of its time. In fact, it is ahead of our time too. So, if he now conducts election for a New constituent assembly and passes a new retrograde Constitution, the progressive people in the country are going to be absolutely helpless. Because a retrograde Constitution will win even a referendum as a huge majority of Indians do live in the 15th century. Nehru ki galati. He failed to spread progressive thought to majority of Indians.

  278. He was childless and you are spreading lies.
    4
  279.  @jayasurya5149  There may be things which can be said against him. But saying that a childless man married his daughter is spreading lies. Whether you like it or not, A lie is a lie is a lie is a lie. If you want to oppose a person, do some homework, find out what he really did wrong and state that. Simply spreading lies is injurious to your own cause.
    4
  280.  @jayasurya5149  She was not his foster daughter. She worked for him. People called her his foster daughter. And later they called her his girlfriend. He ended up marrying her. Please check the facts. He was a widower and she was a spinster who married by consent. Yes his second wife was much younger than him. She was not his daughter.

  288. UAPA, POTA, TADA, NDPS, POCSO, These acts have been called out as unreasonable by activists from the time they were brought. On the civil side, the difference between the SARFAESI ACT AND IBC have also been pointed out. Nobody listens.
    3
  289. In the meantime, next three professions after farmers and SME businessmen will commit regular suicides.

  290. I do remember that protest lead by Mr. Mahendar Singh Tikait. The short visuals on DD and photos in the newspapers were memorable. Feels good to know that his sons are carrying on.
    3
  291. Higher death numbers are not owed to COVID?
    3
  292. May I suggest something please? Government's should start low price canteens similar to Amma canteens of TN and start large scale procurement of fruits and vegetables for the canteens. Farmers will move towards cultivation of more fruits and vegetables.
    3
  293. No, I don't think he was underutilised or overutilised. The groundwork for polarisation is done by Amit Malviya's employees. The magnitude of positive reception of discourses by people like Mr. Yogi depends on the extent of success of Amit Malviya and RSS workers. BJP makes survey of such success and allots campaign time to such speakers based on the results of such surveys.
    3
  294.  @crazyhacker2437  Yes very slowly but steadily

  301. Railways are for us naitves. Their masters travel by air or road alone. Maybe their goods travel by rail. Why would it bother them.
    3
  302.  @oliverqueen5095  You are giving an entirely new definition to socialism. Congratulations. Even those who like blaming socialism for Mr. Modi's destruction of Indian economy usually point at Ujjwala, PM Kisan yojna etc. And now you are calling reduction of corporate direct tax and unprecedented increase in indirect taxes Socialist? Please have a heart.
    3
  303.  @nps7742  BS is your story and fudged numbers. Pathetic is the situation of my country's poor who are increasing with every passing day. If you are objective, look at the unemployment numbers and malnutrition data. Don't quote me convenient figures of corporates.
    3
  304.  @nps7742  I knew you'd never quote unemployment, poverty and malnutrition data.
    3
  305. Going by the spineless behaviour of the Dravidian parties, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens much earlier than expected.
    3
  306. And the DNA of the skeleton found in Rakhigarhi matched with tribal people of Jothimanickam in TN not with Brahmins of Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat.

  308. Kaand? Sir your language is as interesting as SG's

  309. The only way to bring back debate into Parliament is to repeal the anti-defection Law. Because there is no point in debating if you are not allowed to make up your mind based on it but have vote as per whip.
    3
  310. Being a rustic grandmother, I definitely prefer the slower version. But most of your audience, the UPSC aspirants might think otherwise.

  311. Is BJP contesting any seat in Jammu, Kashmir or Manipur?
    3
  312. On what date and which congressi did that? How?

  313. I hope their Lordships continue on this streak and refuse to grant time extension to SBI.

  314.  @ChadPANDA...  Nobody is in danger. Just watch from the sidelines. Vote for anybody you want. All are in cohoots with each other. DMK and BJP are buddies inside. Opposing each other is just drama.

  315. A. Raja predicted this and more.

  317. Reminds me of Vali's boon that he gets half the power of whoever takes him head on.
    3
  318. In the comment section, Nobody seems to have abused this Editor for calling Ruchir Sharma and Prannoy Roy his friends. Nor did anybody abuse Dr. Prannoy Roy himself. Does that simply mean that the boys have grown up or do I sense winds of change?
    3
  319. Great CTC. I think I should try and convince my cousins to move slowly into cultivating vegetables and fruits.

  323. Was word of mouth the most preferred mode of spreading rumours in the pre-whatsapp world?
    3
  324. RSS general secretary talks about EQUALITY. Saudi prince about women's empowerment. The Gods must be crazy.
    3
  325.  @npd9758  BJP won because Digvijay Singh had protesting farmers shot at. BJP lost because Shivraj Singh Chauhan did the same thing
    3
  326. And yet, and yet, talking about social reforms amounts to terrorism!
    3
  327.  @MahatmaGandhi-w8h  Karachi is his contact address and ex wife's residence. Always been. His business empire runs from Dubai, U A E.
    3
  328. But you are interested enough to watch and comment.
    3
  329. In TN it has always been native Indians and Steppes migrants. It will always be.
    3
  330. Mostly because of migrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
    3
  331. More injurious than what is happening in Manipur now and could spread throughout the country any day? More injurious than those hundreds of dead bodies floating on the Holy Ganga, a few years back? I somehow find it difficult to visualise.
    3
  332.  @hijaps123  What spites you is exactly that we are not willing to convert and still pray before Aiyanaar and Karumari and celebrate Pongal. Please Stop spreading lies.
    3
  333.  @hijaps123  Or maybe your spite is because you guys are not allowed to run liquor bars on Temple properties any more.
    3
  334. The IT wing has been going around calling the Rajapakse brothers as socialists. Very soon these liars will brand Shweta Singh as left wing. They are very talented. Truth has no chance in front of them.
    3
  335. A follower of Yati Narasinghanand will topple Yogiji. All women will wear Ghunghat will stay inside the house. India will compete with Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
    3
  336. I am unable to shake off the feeling that we are re-living the 17th century. The world is showering its attention on India. British PM came trying to sell milk products. Regional satraps are changing allegiance. Has East India Company started business?
    3
  337. S. Jaishankar and NAMO are capable leaders. I am sure they will deal with it ably.
    3
  338. But Chief ministership of Delhi was most important when BJP ruled Delhi and centre had UPA.
    3
  339. Wonderful CTC. Most valid point. Hope people understand
    3
  340. I am still quite skeptical about trusting MBS and those Sultans. Besides..... 11th September! Osama bin Laden! Does nobody see the Irony?
    3
  341. Manusmriti mentality probably holds the poor poetess guilty
    3
  342. I get the irony. I agree that these oligarchs do not inspire sympathy. But people are worried because these deaths are not going to stop with the oligarchs.
    3
  343. You are endangering Mr. Gadkari by your statement
    3
  344. Ha. That is Kathni. Whereas Karni is Hathras, Unnao and Bulli Bai.

  350. History, Geography, International Law, and of course GeoPolitics! PHEW!
    3
  351. Peddling of this huge LIE as though the respondents belittled Hindi shows the attitude of these commentors.
    3
  352.  @sathishbalan1971  It is not about North South or even America Africa any more. World depopulation is on the verge. Nature has found a way to deal with irresponsible human specie.
    3
  353. Doesn't seem very likely. We are moving backwards.
    3
  354. So....... East India Company has really entered Pakistan?
    3
  355. Sir, It is the way you say "Yet" that scares me.
    3
  356. He dumped George Fernandes? When did That happen?
    3
  357.  @sureshharinathbabu9717  Please don't underestimate BJP. It is a very long term player. Why, do you think Mr. Mohan Bhagwat coming to TN for Pongal? To make tamils forget our culture, stop making Pongal and start flying kites instead. Once the culture is destroyed people are easy to enslave. Please also never forget the Rajamariyadhai accorded to Rajapakse at Tirupati. Beware of another genocide.
    3
  358. Mr. Amit Malviya has been conspicuous by his absence after results. Will he change track too?
    3
  359. It is unfair to call NOTA a democratic obscenity. But too much of votes for NOTA might strengthen the voices of those who suggest forms of government other than democracy itself. So, NOTA may be a threat for democracy itself in a roundabout way.
    3
  360. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
    3
  361. Don't lie through your teeth. The Rajapakse brothers who destroyed Sri Lanka are friends of Mr. Modi. And extreme Right Wing nationalists just like him. Mr. Modi sent Subramanian Swamy even this year to sit on the floor and watch decorations in Colombo while Rajapakse sat on a chair.
    3
  362. No special DNA? Steppes DNA has always considered itself superior. ALWAYS. And he has it sufficiently.
    3
  363.  @krishnasm7549  The distinguished Hon'ble MP Mr. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has stated on camera, publicly, in an interview with Lallantop, that a murder happened by his hand. Further, the Hon'ble MP Mr. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's 22 year old son committed suicide as per Times of India report in 2004 and left a suicide note blaming his distinguished father, the Hon'ble Mr. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Please don't take my word for it. Please Google them. I somehow find myself unable to support this distinguished gentleman.

  364. Prashantji, after Karan Thapar caused irritation, you were unnecessarily sarcastic to poor Srinivasan Jain. Good to see your cordial self back.

  377. Please don't call it shloka. I beg you. It is a Tamil hymn. Much of the original is lost. But it is really ancient and Tamil. It was composed much before Sanskrit language came into being.
    3
  378.  @DJ-oi9md  Even now there is no such hatred. That is what I am saying. The incidences against pani puri sellers is a latest one and done in cohoots with BJP. That is the truth. I am not the liar. You are the liar who calls the well managed state of TN pathetic. The pathetic situation of BJP and Congress states is seen very well in NITI AYOG reports.
    3
  379.  @DJ-oi9md  The so called "hatred" against other state people is the biggest lie spread by liars like you. Ask the lakhs of prosperous Rajasthanis who have been living in TN for nearly a century now. They will tell you how they have treated love and respect all through.

  394. They know how they won

  399.  @dbshaggy  Following the death of Israel’s first president, Chaim Weizmann, in 1952, the Israeli government, headed by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, offered the presidency to Einstein. Israeli presidents perform mostly ceremonial duties, so the role constitutes more of an honor than a position of power.

  401. Development?

  402. Our population might be lesser than what we think. Moreover, the estimates presume that Lord Shiva will not perform Rudra Thaandavam despite us chipping away at Him.

  403. Is the term "burying the hatchet in someone's back" your own coinage, dear professor? because till now i've come across only "burying the hatchet".

  404. Punjab is the land of Khushwant Singh, Amrita Pritam, Romila Thapar, Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Kuldeep Nayyar, Dr. Manmohan Singh, Navtej Sarna, the homeland of India's bravest Freedom fighters, War Heroes and Sportsmen. Even the Hindi film industry loves portraying the war hero side of Punjab the most. Nobody thinks of Punjab as high on drugs. Udta Punjab was an aberration that hurt Punjabis and Biharis alike. Chennai express portrayed TN as a state high on violence. Wisdom lies in laughing off the ignorance of some individual film makers.

  405.  @tejesheconomics4072  In Andhra, people blame Jagan for it. So they voted for Babu

  406.  @tejesheconomics4072  In a number of places, people still believe that Mr. Modi will address the unemployment issue, even if late. Some might trust the opposition.

  407.  @jayasurya5149  Who hates Brahmins? You might. I don't. Even Subrrahmanya Bharathiyar is Brahmin. EMS NAMBUDRI PAD was brahmin. One of my Aunts (legally married to my uncle ) is Brahmin. I respect all of them. Don't push your hatred on me.

  408.  @jayasurya5149  Besides, your lie is so obvious because the man didn't have a daughter.

  409. When will the National Census be conducted?
    3
  410. If all those welfare measures we hear of are really impkemted, then caste will not matter. On the other hand, if that news about roads breaking up during inauguration and that about lack of medical facilities were true, then people will think on caste lines.
    3
  411.  @AASSXIIi-ys2ev  Please make up your mind. What is the consequence? Jayalalitha's absolute supremacy till her death or her betrayer EPS 's current capitulation before BJP?
    3
  412. Not Nehru's fault?

  413. Shiv Sena has always been pro Marathi Manus. First they opposed South Indians. Next they opposed Muslims. Now they oppose Ambani Adani. I may not like their method of opposing.
    3
  414. Let's call it paranoia. Considering that the descendants of the people who had lived in an ancient highly advanced civilisation that spread from Harappa to Keezhadi, Indus to Kaveri, have been pushed into a few pocket burrows; Considering that the descendants of a handful of persons who arrived from the Steppes, have, along with Arabs and Europeans, taken over the whole of our rich natural resource-rich land; Considering that holding on to something as basic as the Indian language and Indian culture is being sought to be criminalised by the steppes migrants; Considering that even the Steppes family of languages is misleadingly called Indo-European as though it had something to do with India and the Indian family of languages is misleadingly called Dravidian; Considering that the so called Dravidian leaders are as much a part of the of Steppes take-over of India as the Steppes people themselves; PARANOIA IS BUT A NATURAL CONSEQUENCE.

  419.  @heatengine9283  I am sure Sir that you believe all that. And that is how, being non regionalistic, broad minded, large hearted etc. etc., you slowly take away other people's hard earned money and also land. Congratulations. We are quite helpless. Because we can only do hard work and earn and pay taxes. We lack other skills.

  420. How is Mr. Jagan Reddy related to Hyderabad? I am honestly asking out of ignorance. Because I thought that Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy is CM of Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad is in Telangana?

  445.  @vidyamadamanchi7091  State Governments are taking all the responsibilities and the blame. When the Government of India stops even oxygen supply for petty politics they have to file cases before High Court then appeal before Supreme Court and thus get oxygen also for their patients. Central Government blocks 50 % vaccines for itself and 25% for private players. State Government has to float global tender, compete with all the world and procure vaccine. The Central Government informed even this only after months of begging. State Governments of Maharashtra and most other states have still worked day and night managed to not have 100 s of dead bodies floating on rivers. Meanwhile hundreds of dead bodies float on Ganga and Mr. Modi gets all ctrdit

  446.  @Anonymous-yr1hv  Say what you will. But casteism does not exist because of the victims or their supporters. It exists because of the perpetrators. Call my face vikaaram or even bheebhatsam if you want. It only reflects the society. And the print is doing a good job showing how the girl 's are treated. You can't hide the truth by making allegations on those who speak it.

  450. India is home to 191 endangered languages and 200 Indian languages have been wiped out in the last 50 years. The threat to India's cultural diversity cannot be overstressed. It is not about BJP - Congress or Aryan - Dravidian. It is about India.

  467. Mandating steict adhetence to party whip by law and then crying over autocratic leadership is something only Indians can do.
    2
  468. How does the Hindutva group here totally discount his evangelism? In fact, Javier Milei, Elon Musk and Donald Trump only increase the weight of the conspiracy theory which holds that the western right wing is following a multiple stage programme to establish its supremacy : Stage 1 - Villify communists (who claim to be atheists) and pit muslims against communists by funding the Islamists. Stage 2 - Once communism goes down, villify Muslims and pit Hindus against communists and Muslims by funding Hindutva organisations. Stage 3 - Once islamists are taken care of, villify the Hindus and pit Budhdhists against communists, Muslims and Hindus. Stage 4 - Villify Budhdhists.. continue till all other faiths are either destroyed or brought to their side, till only one religion is left.

  469.  @DJ-ki5dr_  You want me to believe that Catholicism is a branch of Hinduism?

  470. Meritocracy in politics lives as long as Multi-party parliamentary democracy'is there. In the sense that any person has the right to start a new party and contest elections. The only thing that gives a death blow to MERiTOCRACY in politics is electoral bonds. And may be anti defection law. ... One more thing. Democracy in the Country is more important than democracy in a party.

  504. Whereas centralisation and Adanification leads to Electoral Bond style transparency and honesty.

  505. This is scary. The way two states - Kerala and WB have seen violence for resisting the phenomenon. The resistance is quite high in TN too. I fear a genocide.

  507. @ No. HIs businesses run from Dubai UAE. Only his ex wife lives in Karachi. Protecting Dawood Ibrahim's sprawling business empire is UAE's way of being pro-India, if you are naive enough to believe it.

  508. Further details please, Unless you are lying.
    2
  509. Crony capitalism and Socialism are not the same. I hope people understand this some day. Socialism strongly believes that "IT IS JUSTICE NOT CHARITY THAT IS LACKING IN THIS WORLD". Charity and handouts are acutally a very very Right Wing thing. The left believes in better salaries and working conditions, not in Charity. The most charitable institutions are often the religious ones not Jholawalas.

  521. @NAADAN PARINDEY Even wikipedia states that In Sindh, Hindu Mahasabha members joined Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah's Muslim League government. In Savarkar's own words, "Witness the fact that only recently in Sind, the Sind-Hindu-Sabha on invitation had taken the responsibility of joining hands with the League itself in running coalition government In March 1943, Sindh Government became the first Provincial Assembly of the sub-continent to pass an official resolution in favour of the creation of Pakistan.[29] In spite of the Hindu Mahasabha's avowed public opposition to any political division of India, the Mahasabha Ministers of the Sindh government did not resign, rather they simply "contented themselves with a protest". In the North West Frontier Province, Hindu Mahasabha members joined hands with Sardar Aurang Zeb Khan of the Muslim League to form a government in 1943. The Mahasabha member of the cabinet was Finance Minister Mehar Chand Khanna.

  522. I will wait and watch. It is seven months already

  523. I have a doubt. Someone told me a rumour that the government is actually run by Chinna Jeeyar Swamigal? Is that a baseless rumour or is there any truth to it?
    2
  524.  @1008apocalypse1008  Socialists of North and communists of East failed. I agree. But it was failure.
    2
  525. Infighting in any Indian party tends to benefit the BJP right now as much as instability in any Indian princely state used to benefit the East India Company in the Eighteenth century.
    2
  526.  @PammalRaaja  Yes. They deserved the CM post and they got it. BJP also got chastised and did not try its dirty trick in the next election. It let Nitish Kumar be the CM though JDU has less seats. Only because BJP was given treatment it deserved for its cheating.
    2
  527.  @rajx7120  Yes they all are influenced by Manusmriti. It is so ingrained in the hearts and minds of people that our Constitution is also not spared of it

  541.  @rakadus  Tamil Nadu model is making Government Schools and Government Hospitals work. It is also about maintaining law and order by keeping strict check on rioters and gangsters (as opposed to finishing one group of gangsters and encouraging other group). TN Model is - attracting industries in right earnest. TN Model is - ecouraging skill development of each and every section of the society. It is about building infrastucture and also involves corruption (but not the kind that kills 150 people by just stealing 1.5 crores). It does involve cheating, namecalling partisan behaviour etc but also having the welfare of people at the back of the mind. It involves hard work (but not 24 hrs a day) and respect for hard workers. Sure TN politicians failed a number of times at these very things, but they also succeeded partially. There are gangsters in TN but they aren't half as vicious as in some other states. But most of all, TN model is about self respect of every human and about putting history above mythology.

  542. When are the elections due?

  544. I wonder where he gets these 400 pages yellow legal pad. I can't even find a 200 pages pad.
    2
  545. Wives of soldiers protecting YOU from Pakistan and China were not paraded naked in those places that you mention. I don't see how you equate that with corruption. Please realise that a policeman in that state handed over a soldier's wife to the mob to do that. If you have a conscience, tell me just one other place in the entire world where such a thing happened. Don't you even realise that when the mob was doing that to her, her husband was protecting you and your family from the enemies. If you can't understand that much and you still call yourself and Indian, I don't know what to say to you.
    2
  546. 15 years back, some people said that about Mr. Modi also. A sizeable number of people also believe that we are living a nightmare right now.

  547. Your understanding is much deeper in contrast to most of those who try to oppose him and end up spreading absolute lies.

  548. Good cop Bad cop routine

  550. The whole picture is that Congress and BJP are in cohoots with each other. He sent sajjan kumar to jail. Now he is leaving Delhi.
    2
  551. So, did the Pakistanis really finally realise who is actually persecuting the Muslims?
    2
  552. I wonder why nobody is celebrating this as the ultimate victory of Capitalism, because this will be seen as a great positive precedent for privatisation of Army all over the world.
    2
  553. Of late, the yellow legal pad had been making its appearance on National Interest whereas loose sheets came here. Good to see the yellow legal pad again at CTC.
    2
  554.  @ravinunna1168  You can't kick out any Hindu (or people of any other religion) from anywhere. Tamil Nadu has 87 % Hindu population and people of TN are more Hindu than the rest. Both by belief and genetically. Maybe that's why they don't vote for the BJP. The Temples in TN are much more better maintained and have more devotees than anywhere else.
    2
  555. Watching RS proceedings with our current Vice President in the Chair is rather annoying. We were used to unpleasantness in Lok Sabha. But Rajya Sabha proceedings were very much watchable before 11.08.2022.
    2
  556. The dichotomy in your argument Sir, is self evident. You agree that TN almost leads in most of the indicators and infrastructure. Then you argue that those who put in the hardwork to achieve this should be thrown away and those kind of leaders should be elected who construct roads that crack open while trying to inaugurate them by breaking a coconut. Thanks for your advise. But are doing above average and want to continue doing well.
    2
  557.  @shapnilhaldar1998  The way our country is going down, all SMEs destroyed, malnutrition increasing, crores of people pushed back into poverty, unemployment having come back etc, makes me wary of "visionary" leaders.

  558. But Mr. Vikas Divyakirti supported Mr. Modi for Prime Ministership. On camera. In one Mr. Arun Purie's channels.

  559. What is America's stand on this? Or, for that matter, China's?

  560. Forget the floor, even a wooden plank held by Mr. Pawar never shakes. Tremors eh?
    2
  561.  Anirudh K  May be what you predict will be the result. . But it will be interesting to watch whatever happens, And it will take time. Politics in most of the other states has become rather one sided and boring. Just feels good to see a man with spirit that too at 80 years.

  569.  @vipint3694  Kaveri dispute? Did TN police and Karnataka police fire on each other? Like Himanta Biswa Sarma's Assam police fired? Or do you see cars burning in Katpadi? Like Basavaraj Bommai's goons burnt in Belagavi? Don't spread lies.
    2
  570.  @vipint3694  Kaveri dispute is being pursued in courts. Even protest is shown by fasting. Not by violence. Unlike BJP created disputes.
    2
  571.  @itdoesntmatter9923  If firing on Interstate border by policemen of BJP ruled States is not substantial and if burning of cars in border districts of BJP ruled States is not substantial, what is?
    2
  572.  @itdoesntmatter9923  Do you read news? Are you aware that Mr, Himanta Biswa Sarma's Assam police fired on people across the state border?
    2
  573.  @itdoesntmatter9923  I suspect you are not even aware who Mr. Sarma is or which party he belongs to etc. Or for that matter Mr. Fadnavis or Mr. Bommai. Is that why you fail to see the substance?
    2
  574. The rich and varied Indigenous Faiths of African continent are fast vanishing due to the competitive propagation by both Islam and Christianity. And both use these false allegations of human sacrifice to justify propagation. The native diverse cultures are in the threat of being lost totally and forever.

  575. Independence! !!!! How independent are the women going to be under Taliban?

  577. You also please be humane. Towards those dead and dying. And also those who may have use the water carrying these dead bodies. They are also human beings.
    2
  578.  @sankalp6872  Bandaranayakes and their daughter Chandrika are basically the socialists in the Sri Lankan Politics. The Rajapakse brothers came to power by abusing Chandrika Kumaratunga, calling her a dynast and pro-minority anti national.
    2
  579. Already there is no dearth of China admirers here. As though that were not scary enough, you seem bent upon creating Putin admirers.

  580. Islamism coming back to bite Saudi Arabia? That's wonderful news!
    2
  581. Yes. I thought that too.
    2
  582. Pleasantly
    2
  583. The comment section seems to indicate that I can expect a CTC on the PM of Italy soon. Any chance there will be one on Julain Assange, his bail, and the deal he struck.

  584. Moving towards Ancient.

  585.  @vamsikrishna9501  I am sorry for the spelling mistake. Moreover you are absolutely right. No Hindu ever did that. It was an anti Hindu who tried it once.

  596. Islamic -Communist ALLIANCE? Hmm Could you please shed some light on which part of "Clash of Civilisations" imagines such a thing?
    2
  597.  @gaganbhattacharya9890  I am asking you this only because I did read it and found that the whole thing was about a world where there is no communism. .......And this concept of Islamic communist alliance is a figment of YOUR imagination.
    2
  598.  @gaganbhattacharya9890  You Sir are either confusing the concept of could operation between the Sinic and orthodox civilisation or indulging in false propaganda.

  603. The OG US DS operation was carried out in 2012-2013, and they are witnessing its sweet fruition now, after 12 years.

    2
  608.  @dude-ox2em  So now you guys have started a campaign of lies against TN and villify us and call us terrorists next. You very well know your statements are a figment of your imagination. But you are a HUGE online army well funded by Maharani Priscilla Chan. We ordinary Indians posting the truth stand no chance against your troll army. I give up.
    2
  609. This Govt. has given tax cuts, PLI and what not to "encourage" the private sector. If they still will not be encouraged to provide job and instead indulge in large scale lay offs, then it is time to take some drastic action on the darling private sector.
    2
  610. I am watching this in 2024. After the orders passed by RBI

  611. Moolnivasis of Hindi Heartland are also waking up. Can't be exploited, tortured and looted any more by the Steppes migrants.

    2
  615.  @sankalp6872  Years of mismanagement by darlings of BJP.
    2
  616. Yes that is the direction in which the world is moving. Public opinion will swing back only after being fully looted.
    2
  617. Their census showed their population to be much less than what they expected. How much of it because of less babies and how much is due to these unaccounted deaths?
    2
  618. Violence is violence, left wing or right wing , and it is bad for the economy.
    2
  619. ........ and people still don't believe me when I say that Religious Bigotry is taking over the world.
    2
  620. It has been almost a month since President Trump took office. Is there any development in Suchir Balaji case?. His mother was quite hopeful that the Trump administration will take Swift action.

  623. Might be a better idea to provide good scientific education and a working Primary Health Centre. Not just now but always.
    2
  624. Healthwise.
    2
  625. Will there be a CTC on Pavel Durov's arrest today? Please, Please, Please.
    2
  626.  @libshastra  I thought INC became dynastic because power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
    2
  627. When will the National census be conducted?
    2
  628. Articles 14 and 21 use the word "person", not "citizen". Article 19 and many other Articles use the term "citizen".
    2
  629.  @rajanigali123  I am humbly requesting you to read the Constitution of India.
    2
  630.  @userag  I have read it. True that Parliament may make law for it. Citizenship Act has been enacted under that power. Yes. What about it? How is it relevant to Article 14?
    2
  631. In my humble opinion, an admittedly and legally presidential style of democracy will be negative for India. Already our multi party parliamentary democracy is becoming more and more of a sham due to the anti defection Law and electoral bonds. Effectively , we have a presidential system. And the damage is visible.

  633. He pointed out the lies of the opposition.
    2
  634.  @shankares388  You say TN is not better than others. NITI Ayog data disagrees.
    2
  635.  @forkrust9296  Then why are investors rushing away instead of rushing in? Besides, it is a very unfair Law because the states that work very hard and produce good amount of goods and services are forced to collect all the revenue and give it away whereas the states that don't produce much, get all the financial allocation. States like Maharashtra and TN which generate much GST don't get to spend it on the welfare of its people whereas states like Uttarakhand don't generate much GST but get so much money. This is incentivising poor performance. One of the reasons why our economy is actually going down despite all the brouhaha.

  636. Have the total death numbers of 2021 come out - both covid and non covid?

  637. Diet Taliban? You really have a crazy sense of humour.

  639. ​ @RKV8527 Death of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya is not a mystery. Death of Haren Pandya is not a mystery. Death of Pramod Mahajan is not a mystery. Death of Judge Loya is also not a mystery.
    2
  640. Conspiracy theory is that MKS, OPS and VKS are conspiring to put EPS behind bars.

  641. Sir the problem is that when the crude price again goes up the government will not lower the taxes
    2
  642.  @rohanvernekar7876  To me, it felt like he is holding Eric Garcetti responsible for the whole thing!
    2
  643. But he pulled 27 Crore Indians out of Poverty.
    2
  644. Finally, ED is doing the work it is meant to do.
    2
  645. Yes as long as you are not a Dalit Girl working in the fields
    2
  646. This is not a slip of tongue. It is a calculated move. First step towards convincing Ambedkarites to leave the ideology of Ambedkarism and move towards Manusmriti following. Remember Advaniji used to be defensive at one time. Now they do that openly. Give them 10 years. They will abuse Ambedkar openly without being defensive.

  656. Sikhs need not be fearful of anyone. But have to be skeptical of those who labelled protesting farmers as terrorists.
    2
  657. Opposition doesn't have guts to oppose UCC. It has been held up by lack of consensus within Sangh Parivar. Some want bigamy outlawed amongst Muslims and others want bigamy legalised for Hindus.
    2
  658. Don't worry it might also become Adani Airport
    2
  659. Wonderful CTC ripe with lot of information. Special thanks for mentioning Mr. Balraj Madhok. I hope the members of your audience do their own research on him. Plus. I wonder. Is there something in the offing, which made you do this CTC? I mean, there was Balraj Madhok. Then there were Atalji and Advaniji. Now there is Modiji and Shahji. Is there going to be.......
    2
  660. Back in the early days of this millennium, Mr. Arnab Goswamy used to present a very pleasant programme called News hour on Star News Channel. I would have fought with any person if they had predicted what he would turn into.
    2
  661. Mr. Lal Krishna Advani might be able to help. The late Pramod Mahajan and Atalji would have handled it very well.
    2
  662. Mr. Modi did wear a Veshti and say that Tamil is the world's oldest language the last time he visited TN and has also appointed a son of the soil as BJP state chief. All that is bound to make some good difference unless the Mylapore Brahmins undo it all.

    2
  667.  @gamesong6600  I think you're absolutely right
    2
  668. The capitalist countries will continue to fund the islamist terrorists because they still consider the dead and decaying communism to be a bigger threat than islamist terrorism.

  671.  @jayasurya5149  Thank you for the advice. But you stop spreading lies. Will be good for you.
    2
  672.  @jayasurya5149  Another blatant lie from you YOURSELF. Why are you fixing hatred on me? You can hate anybody you want to hate. I don't hate anyone. I respect everybody. Clear your mind of hatred.
    2
  673.  @jayasurya5149  Learn to debate in a civilised manner, child. Don't spew hatred. And stop lying.
    2
  674.  @jayasurya5149  Your posts don't reflect your so called love and respect. Please read your posts again to see how much hatred you have spewed. Please take a relook at your language and the words you have used. You will see my point. The proof is in your posts.
    2
  675. Destroying diversity and creating will not lead to anything good. That is what the Canadian Christian Missionaries did. The native American tribes perished. But the white Canadians are also suffering now and trying to undo it. Only, it is too late and real life does not have an undo option.

  676. And will continue.

  683. What do you have against the Indus Valley Civilisation?
    2
  684. Periyar did not hate Gods. This is a lie. He hated only the caste system and exploitation of Native Indians
    2
  685. I believe they were wrong, mostly because I believe they killed a lot of Tamil leaders in SL. The struggle for Tamil rights in SL is very old and it will go on. The LTTE seems to have done more harm than good to the cause of SL Tamils.
    2
  686. We are behaving like those Indians who lived nearly 400 years ago and lost the country to East India Company.
    2
  687.  @jhendukhan4363  We are quite oblivious to what is happening with us.
    2
  688. It may not be just because of the gender. It relates more to the fact that the economy is really really going down. And the truth of the infrastructure projects has not been discovered yet. Remember, people were all praises for Nirmala Sitaraman ji when we were living under the illusion that the economy was brimming?
    2
  689. Most people call it anti Sikh riots

    2
  694. Yes Mr. Vadhera will be more amenable to Mr. Adani's charms.
    2
  695.  @heatengine9283  I am sure Sir thst you don't see the irony itself out. And it is not a matter of 20- 30 years. It is a matter of eternity. In fact, as the tamil population reduces in TN, even TN demography is changing. We might have governments thar mske corpses float on Kaveri also after the period mentioned by you. Luckily I will die before that.

  707. And most of us forgot about ABG once this thing came up.

  708. The article by Ananya Bharadwaj is very informative. But a CTC will be much more insightful. Agreed.
    1
  709. Good Morning Miss Pia. Is there any chance you could convince the editor in chief to do a CTC on Pavel Durov and his arrest?
    1
  710. Maybe he meant "won't" when he said "can't", because Trump was the one who appointed him in the first place.
    1
  711. A multi party parliamentary federal democracy is still the best choice available. Unless we could move to something like direct democracy - like they did for Brexit.

    1
  716. Sir your excitement today is palpable. But your voice worries us. Please take care.

  717. That will never happen because U.S, considers socialism to be a bigger evil than islamist terrorism.

  718. I know that you don't like jumping to conspiracy theories when things can be attributed to stupidity But please tell me (1) Was it not a treat to the eyes of the Pakistanis and the Chinese to see the visuals osmo hundreds of corpses floating on the Ganga? (2) Is Balkanisation of India not the ultimate dream of India haters? (3) Does any Indian know who donated all those electoral bonds?
    1
  719. Yes migration is important.

  720. Why don't you start a party and lead it dynamically.

  721. If Taliban takes over paxtan, we Indians will feel the pain.

  722. More importantly, a woman who complains about wife-beating should not be called names and branded as woman of loose character. No amount of laws on the book can save a woman if practically the personnel in the establishment purposefully enforce prejudice.

  730. About a month ago, the Business Standard and Economic Times reported stating that "Govt to allow JVs with Chinese firms if Indian partner holds majority stake". Please google it if you don't believe me.

  731. And Sir, is it fair to compare Britain with India - as Britain is the country that produced Robert Bulwer Lytton and Winston Churchill whereas India is the country that suffered the consequences of their depravity?

  736. ADR, Common cause, CPI(M), all are leftists. They are always accused of taking money from China. In reality China does not give them any money. So they filed this petition out of jealousy - to show who really gets money from china. But three weeks time is quite sufficient to change the names of Byjus, Paytm, Oppo India and Vivo India etc to Bhavesh Bhai and Jignesh Bhai.

  1002.  @shalivahana1300  A huge majority of muslims in TN speak Tamil. Urdu speaking muslims form a separate class and usually don't inter marry with Tamil speaking muslims. But like you said, the Urdu speaking muslims feel superior.

  1006. The Hathras crime committed by the authorities completely overshadows everything else. At least for me. And I don't see why it doesn't for so many people. Were the criminals actually gangsters? Or were they the kind of blokes who are otherwise respected by the praja of Ramrajya? The victim's name seems to suggest that she may be related to the Maharshi who wrote the Ramayan. And now she is going to be called Shoorpanakha. Jai Shree Ram.

  1014. To repeal the three laws passed in the name of agricultural reforms
    1
  1015.  @snehilsharma9147  Because the said three laws take away minimum support price, compel farmers to enter into contract farming with big corporates, and make them lose whatever land they have. The new laws also encourage hoarding.

  1022. It is the party with a difference. In the following sense. Despite being in a Churchill created starvation and abject poverty we Indians tried our best and caught up with the world in (1) Nuclear Power (2) Space exploration (3) Agricultural self sufficiency and (4) Milk revolution. By the time the I. T. Revolution happened, we were strong and so we reached the top few. With the help of lateral entrants Homi Bhabha, Vikram Sarabhai, M. S. Swaminathan, Varghese Kurien, Sam Pitroda. All this happened irrespective of whichever party giverned. But latest of the latest, when it comes to Artificial intelligence, we already had an advantage being IT giant and should have been the global leader of AI. And it would have happened if it was any other party except this one at the helm. Now because of this Vishwaguru party with a difference, we are out of the A I race even before it started.

  1076. I strongly object to the term "chickened out". It is the inability of the establishment to create awareness. India is a country where people were reluctant to take pregnant women to hospital for childbirth. Governments used to run elaborate programmes both on ground and in media to spread awareness. It takes that kind of consistent work to convince people to trust these things. I am sure that speed will pick up soon and India's vaccination programme will be a huge success.

  1077. Finishing of SAD is only a first step towards establishment of huge BJP cadres in Punjab. Slowly, the BJP will spread in Punjab too. Mr. Rothschild has ordered that every country should have only two parties (if possible, just one) and that all smaller and regional parties should be wiped out. Both BJP and INC are working towards that goal.

  1078. Looking Great, Professor.

  1079. Opponents of farm laws are still not convinced. Tendency is to believe that cartelisation would have ensured sane low procurement prices from farmers but increase in sale price to consumers. While agreeing that the government should be compelled to increase the procurement prices the conspiracy theorists believe that the farm laws were passed in such a hurry because the cartels had anticipated the Ukraine war.
    1
  1080. Glad you used the term Empire. Call it Colonial Hangover if you will, but does everything not sound eerily similar to East India Company in the Seventeenth Century? The Company used to show elaborate respect and just butter up al the Rajas and Maharajas before actually moving in and destroying Indian industries and later India itself.

  1093. The data put our by NITI Ayog this time is so detailed and well organised. Problem lies in its interpretation. People totally refuse to see what this data makes obvious and will put the best efforts to pull down the better performing states instead of uplifting the poor performers. The spread of RSS in TN and Kerala being the best example. Both states are going to become poorer and more unequal very soon.

  1171. Socialism died due to communism in early 90 s. Capitalism was defeated in late 2k naughts. The ideology ruling the world right now is religious Bigotry. But if religious Bigotry grows like this it will be eventually defeated by Ethnic Bigotry which is much stronger. And that can lead only to wars and total destruction. So it is high time for socialists and capitalists to start working together. Socialists need to stop support minority religious bigots and capitalists need to stop supporting majority religious bigots. Otherwise we are headed towards a violent end to humankind.

Wise Hindus should not fall for this conspiracy.

  1194.  Zaki Hafa  To tell the truth, not just rapes, but incidents like the dowry death of Vismaya also keep happening in India. But still women are free to study, get jobs, do business, and lead in many ways. That is lost when a theocracy takes over. Even India seems to be moving rightwards but Total theocracy is unlikely to takeover any time soon.

  1195.  Zaki Hafa  You watch too much tv. Kumbh is over. And so is second wave. But it may not be safe to travel for another year. Anyway tourism is on hold everywhere including India. But once the pandemic is over, you should definitely visit India and see our contradictions. Yes there are fringe elements doing the kind of things that you describe. But they are really the fringe and have not taken over the country. At least not yet. If you visit cities like Mumbai, Chennai or Hyderabad, you would be surprised how different the country is from what the TV says.

  1196.  Zaki Hafa  I would definitely never look down upon Afghanistan. Never. And I definitely think that U. S. should leave the Afghans alone. But I am only imagining what would have happened to India if in 1947, instead of the Constituent Assembly, if for example the naxalites had taken over.

It is going to run its natural course and by the time people realise the truth it will be very late.

  1234.  @gopala3539  Yes. Total TN suffers from extreme water shortage. Yet we get water from running tap in our little village. Since 1990. So I know that you are lying, when you try to turn the whole story to be about development, instead of what it really is. Inability to digest diversity.

  1235.  @gopala3539  That mob in Manipur which did those unspeakable things, did not do it because of water shortage but because they couldn't stand Kuki people living in Manipur and because it believed the fake news spread by some group.

  1279. In the context of mountains, "shallow" typically refers to a mountain range or area with lower elevations and gentler slopes compared to other, more rugged mountain regions. Here's a more detailed explanation: Lower Elevations: Shallow mountains generally have peaks and overall terrain that are not as high above sea level as steeper, more dramatic mountains. Gentler Slopes: The sides of shallow mountains tend to have less steep inclines, making them appear less rugged and more gradual in their rise. Examples: The Rocky Mountains, while still significant, are considered a broad belt of mountains with a relatively shallow angle of subduction, resulting in a less steep mountain range compared to some other mountain ranges. Contrast with Deep Mountains: In contrast, "deep" mountains would describe regions with very high peaks, steep slopes, and rugged terrain.

  1348.  @tomriddle4110  Maharashtra is a huge state. Largest revenue generator. Land of Ambedkar and Savarkar. Complexities are much more. But it has always stood up to centrist forces. Other states tend to look up to Maharashtra. I don't see why you are feeling this way.

  1349.  @tomriddle4110  I don't think you hate your cm either. You are angry with him because you believe he is diminishing it's pride. I am trying to reassure that he can't even if he tries .

  1350. Tatas contribute to all parties. By cheque. Not by electoral bonds. In fact, the way Piyush Goyal went on, this is a pleasant surprise. Most people who are calling it Mr. Modi's success and also believe that Mr. Modi's opponents are unhappy are missing the nuance.

  1372. I came across an interesting conspiracy theory today. It goes like this : - (1) Russia and Germany have always hated each other and both the world wars were essentially wars between Russia and Germany. (2) France, U.K., U.S. etc have been constrained to participate on the side of Russia and against Germany. Both times, they won the world wars by exploiting India, the African Countries and even China. (3) Left to themselves, Russia and Germany will start the third world war. (3) The U.S. Government's greatest achievement has been to create an elaborate illusion to prevent them from doing so. (4) That elaborate illusion is becoming unsustainable now, further speeded up by the present POTUS. (5) Additionally, there is a Boss Baby now which suffers from nostalgia towards the apartheid era South Africa. The Boss Baby is actively unleashing Russia and Germany on each other. So. Third World war is nearing.

  1383. When monsoon fails, someone has to rescue. What's so funny about it? I think it is unfair to call welfare schemes populism. Populism is playing on the insecurities of dominant class of voters, like Trump does. Populism is instigating one group of workers against another group of workers so that they don't fight with the one guy who exploits both of them. Please don't call these welfare steps populism. I really beg you.

What has that got to do with the misstatement of the person who made the original post? The said post was erroneous and you are now diverting the issue.
    1
  1399.  @userag  But you are right. When the Judiciary is compliant, then not just the Parliament, even the executive Government is not bound by anything at all, it can behave arbitrarily as witnessed during Indira Gandhi 's emergency. What fundamental rights and what basic structure, nothing is ultra vires of anything. .... Or so the Courts may find. Our Honourable Supreme Court has already found everything from SARFAESI to IBC to UAPA non violative of fundamental rights. What's the big deal about CAA?

She would never have allowed this daytime dacoity from people of TN. You are probably from one of those beneficiary states that get disproportionately high grants but that doesn't entitle you to spread lies about late CM Jayalalitha. Keep your lies to yourself.

  1432. I did not hear the name Tamil Nadu even once in this programme. Does that mean that TN has been mostly stagnant in all these indicators? If so, I would say that the much maligned "Dravidian Politics" is not as bad as it is made out to be.
    1
  1433. Blaming it on JJP and calling it Jat appeasement are unfair. The same divisive force is dividing the country on other lines again. Division and grudges are absolutely necessary for those who breed hatred and violence.

  1447. Everyone knows that Indians hate the government of Pakistan. So they very well know what will be the effect of them supporting one side.

  1460. May be they did try to vote for development. They have been throwing out one party after the other. May be it is because they all failed to deliver. They finally trusted BJP beyond all advise. But when they were let down by BJP also, they have come to the streets.

    1
  1473. Most commenters seem to think that welfare schemes, otherwise known as "freebies" are the reason for this. But TN is the State synonymous with it. But it does not feature in the list. I would argue that the reason is that it is a highly industrialised and urbanised place.
    1
  1474. But the present central government, under this GST structure, is robbing this state so badly that anything can happen. And later, the propagandists will blame welfare schemes.

  1485. Sir I have two issues with you today : (1) Some of your statements reminded me of a term "secular jazia" used by Mr. M. J. Akbar in one of his articles written for the TOI. I think it is an unfair argument. (2) The reluctance of parties to enter into an alliance with the BJP could also have been that they instinctively knew how it would treat it's allies in the long run.

  1518. It won't!!! That is the whole point. And if you think that Supreme Court went against the Government here, please think again. Weren't your peers expecting this ever since a very rich Person refusued US investment? When one seeks investments from Global Madarsa funders and Dawood Ibrahim's empire protectors, won't some consequences follow?

  1519. Shekhar Sir made a very big statement today that Congress is waking up. Let's wait and see how true it holds.
    1
  1520. Sir, You seem to have a cold. Please take care.

  1521.  Raj Narayanan  Sir if you do a small survey within your neighbours by asking whether Tamil is older than Sanskrit and whether Mr. L. Murugan should have been appointed so instead of people like Dr. Subramaniam Swamy and Mr. Gurumurthy, you would know what I mean.
    1
  1522.  Raj Narayanan  Mr. L. Murugan is the present state unit chief of TN BJP. He is a young lawyer and going by the happenings of the last few months he seems to be quite a capable man
    1
  1523.  Raj Narayanan  Sir if you don't reside in Mylapore any more you cannot be a part of those who are thought to be undoing the doings of Mr. Modi
    1
  1524.  Raj Narayanan  Sir the episode of Cut The clutter under which we are having this conversation is about the rising popularity of the present Government headed by Mr. Modi. The said popularity seems to be rising even in TN. So I have been trying to explore the possible reasons for the same. While doing so I was pointing towards the fragility of the situation that due to the difference of opinion between a part of its population which is fixated with Tamil and another part of the population which does not appreciate this fixation
    1
  1525.  Raj Narayanan  Now Sir you are making false and vicious accusations against me. I will not continue this conversation. RAM RAM

  1526. A must-read for all those who were behaving as though the ideas about Mangasutra, Mutton and Mujra were put into Mr. Modi's mind by Al Qaida, Ku Klux Klan or the Naxalites.

  1528. Mr. Modi Mr. Shah and Mr. Yogi will do everything it takes to compete with China even if it means crushing Democracy, bringing in slavery, or killing its own people in large scale because that's what China does.

  1534. I have 24 hrs power supply. BJP never governed here. For the last 50 years according to you guys we have had thieves and anti nationals governing us.

  1535. That is why both help each other and have an undeclared alliance

  1536. @Redwood-sz9td Of course I do. And I am sure the CMIE data is far from the truth.
    1
  1537.  @Ahatamatar1234  Most people still trust Mr. Modi to address the issues of unemployment and rural distress better than Rahul. Some people have lost faith that Mr. Modi would do anything about it.

  1538.  @jayasurya5149  Who said anything about unesco? And Tamil was called Neecha Bhasha by Brahmins.
    1
  1539.  @jayasurya5149  Dr. Ambedkar is undoubtedly the greatest reformer of all time. And he was flawless. But there are many flawed reformers who contributed to breaking of the invisible bonds of Manusmritic slavery.

  1540.  @lightboi9752  I am yet to meet such a Tamil Brahmin.

  1541.  @jayasurya5149  Lies always hurt the liar in the end.
    1
  1542.  @jayasurya5149  And your other big lie is also evident because I never said anything about me hating anyone and send a single negative thing about anybody and keep presenting things as though I hated someone. What lie could be more obvious. Learn to read the other person's posts before you start answering and don't create things that are not there. This will help you in future. I

  1543.  @jayasurya5149  Yes they call it Neecha Bhasha. It is their view. What about it?

  1546.  @josejoseph8725  I heard that BJP is celebrating a new festival called Tulsi Pooja on 25th December. I didn't know whether you celebrate Christmas or Tulsi Pooja. I thought, let's not take chances.

  1568. "everyone benefitted"? Maybe you did. Those who voted for them again and again did. But a huge number of Indians didn't. Acutally a good number also lost a lot. They are the ones who are now voting against. Ask the unemployed youth for example. And the MSME owners who closed down.
    1
  1569.  @memaze29  What I see with my own eyes is very different from what you say. I BC sure discriminates against part suppliers by making them operational creditors. The GST procedures discriminate against the honest businessmen.

  1575. It is a misconception that the present dispensation is against christians and muslims. Its actual enmity is against the descendants of those who were in India before the aryans came. It would go to any extent to genocide the ethnic Indians
    1
  1576. The western countries love China and more than China they love Xi Jin ping. More than that, remember how Mr. Modi went around hugging Xi and brought him to Chennai and Mahabalipuram, played swing with him etc? Xi, Modi and Trump are close pals. Who are they trying to fool?

  1585. Owaisi has this strange habit - wherever BJP seems to be losing at any particlular seat due to consolidation of muslim votes, AIMIM contests from that seat. Lo and behold, BJP wins. He is rumoured to be not doing it on his own.
    1
  1586.  @PanakaluPoonakam  So you are saying that BJP is Just another regional party like Shiv Sena and BSP though it claims to represent all Hindus all over the world, not just every part of India. Thanks for the perspective

  1587. If running country smoothly means making thousands of dead bodies float on the Holy Ganga, compelling lakhs of people to walk home to thousands of kilometres, causing wide spread unemployment, shutting down thousands of MSMEs, pushing crores of people back to below poverty line, muzzing the truth, then yes, the ruckus if definitley more important than "running the country smoothly".

  1591. So your Manusmriti says that Schedule case children should not study in London? And you want to enforce it? It has been 7 decades since our Constitution was framed. And you still want to enforce your manusmriiti. What will you do next? Melt lead and pour into his children's ears? That is what your Sanskrit texts taught you? How much longer do you want to enslave the original Indians? Your forefathers have lived in our India for 3 millenia now. Learn to respect original Indians. High time.

  1602. I remember that in the 80s and early 90s, Indians used to compare ourselves with Pakistan. Somewhere near the end of last century / beginning of this one, we had stopped that and started comparing ourselves with China. But 20 years later, we are back to comparing with Pakistan. SOMEBODY Made India Poor Again.

  1613. Sir your statement to the effect that BJP is not really serious about winning TN in 2024 scares me very much. Because if the campaign without that ambition is so aggressive and vicious, what will happen when they plan to win Tamil Nadu? Will they carry out another genocide of Tamils like Rajapakse?

  1615. But the farmers were called terrorists and it was constantly being fed to us that only a small section of farmers was protesting whereas a majority of the farmers wanted the farm laws??????
    1
  1616. With a lot of respect and at the risk of being labelled idiot and fool, I would still make this suggestion. We should concentrate on our core strength - services. Indians should learn the languages and cultures of various Asian and African Countries and export Services world over including "to china".
