  1. India should have a "Law of Return" for Hindus. Israel has it for jews. With this law any jew from any part of the world can get Israeli citizenship.

  2. Irrespective of how this plays out, it is yet another case of dynastic succession destroying a party. When Balasaheb passed the reigns to Uddhav, Balasaheb was the whole and soul of the party hence even Raj's rebellion could not stop his coronation. Post-Balasaheb, Uddhav forgot that while he wore the crown, the control of the party resided with the "Generals". The attempted coronation of Aaditya Thackerey was a MASSIVE BLUNDER.

  3. Is this Bihar assembly? One-to-One conversation without anybody interrupting or hooting in the background. This is GOOD FOR DEMOCRACY.

  4. Thanks for the "Disclaimer" in the beginning. China is no USSR (Although, the fall of USSR came out of the blue). A bit surprised to know about the "online lending" by these "rural" banks. A parallel would be Yes Bank which had 72% corporate loan exposure. Banking laws forbids this but it still keeps happening.

  5. News = Information; News != Opinion; News != Noise; News != LEFT. If these equations do not hold true then you are listening to propaganda. A good journalist will also tell you when he is delivering news and where he/she is giving his/her opinion. In short, News= CutTheClutter.

  6. Nirmala Sitharaman has been a fantastic FM. It's sad that she doesn't get enough credit. This Govt has shown remarkable consistency in policy. UPA's main problem was constant pendulum-like shifts due to fear of the public mood. Except for farm laws and land acquisition, Modi Govt has rarely backtracked.

  7. "Iss hamam mein sab nange hai". Police and Judicial reforms are a must for India. Everyone in Maharashtra knows whats going on. Nobody is blind. Even the earlier Congress Govts were better than the whole Maha Vasooli Aaghadi mess.

  8. Even if he wins, Pierre Poilievre will be walking into a minefield as Trudeau would be leaving him a broke Kanada.

  9. I think Modi will retire midway into his third term as PM. Of course, there is nothing to indicate it. However, it would be smart politics to use the brand Modi to settle some other brand and head into 2029. Of course, 2024 is far from settled, but as long things remain Modi vs.?, the Opposition will be conceding a very important edge to the PM.

  10. Actually, the British genuinely believed in the ridiculous MARTIAL RACE THEORY. Lord Roberts was its architect. It was not just incorporating vanquished forces. They genuinely considered tall, fair, blue-eyed individuals to make better soldiers (not just as warriors but also discipline-wise). Hence, Pathans, Rajputs, Sikhs, Gurkhas and Marathas were their preferred stock. The Indian army was reformed in 1956, but British elements remained. Even in the current scenario, the North has more representation in the army. That said, one needs to understand that the rest of India has had better economic opportunities in other fields, and the army is not the sole benchmark of patriotism.

  11. Totally DISAGREE. The middle class is actively subsidizing agriculture in India. The ban was sensible. We simply cannot afford more INFLATION. Farmers had their chance with Farm Bills and they blew it. Let's get real here. The middle class also needs some relief.

  12. Congress is India's oldest brand. Their flagship product, Rahul Gandhi, is completely useless and obsolete to the new-age audience. It is no competition to BJP.

  13. Chill DK. BJP saw 2028 elections and beyond. It was a common sense decision. Mamaji himself should be glad that he got to go out at the peak of his popularity. You guys still don't understand the BJP. They are using Modi to build institutions. HBS, Yogi, Dharma have caved a niche for themselves. Now Vishnu Sai and Yadav have the same opportunity.

  14. Nirmala Sitharaman has been UNJUSTLY targeted ever since she became the FM. Even people on the right have been UNKIND to her (a typical flaw of the right. Crab mentality). Nevertheless, she has been persistent and has been executing a fine economic blueprint. Things take time to heal. BIG BANG often leads to BIG CRASH. You cannot have insane levels of growth rates like 15-20%. Such growths can only come through a resource curse (the Dutch disease) and are often accompanied by HAYWIRE INFLATION.

  15. An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped. Left ecosystem was also daring upon Article 370 and Ram Mandir. The result is for everyone to see.

  16. We were deprived of this for 500 years. We were mocked for being Hindus and our victimhood was ridiculed. Abrahamic faiths flourished by anhilating other faiths but they couldn't finish the Hindu faith. Jai Shree Ram🚩

  17. At least his first Yatra was something. The second yatra is a full-on COMEDY TOUR and campaign for 400+ BJP. Rahul has got more than enough chances now. If he loses in 2024, he must vacate the political space for good.

  18. A retired State Bank of Pakistan official said that "Pak is an IMF addict, and IMF is a Pak addict". It's good to see China picking up this addiction. The last addiction was Opium which destroyed China.

  19. Olympics-level LONG JUMP? Fadnavis merely reacted to the idiocy in Kolhapur. He has a powerful sway over Maha's urban middle class. He does not need any "makeover". Also, the "Hindutva" tag comes by default with the BJP. No extra effort is needed. There is no other competition for him in Maha BJP. However, DK is right regarding the arithmetical limitations of the BJP. They might rope in Raj Thackeray and smaller parties to even the scales. Also, INC might not be at 16% anymore. Many of their prominent leaders have one foot in the BJP.

  20. The organizers should be JAILED FOR THIS. They are playing with lives here.

  21. Farmers are now gathering on the Sangrur border but this time against the state govt's unfulfilled promises. Punjab Congress is in SNAFU mode (thanks to Siddhu and his Delhi backers). It's NOT A STORM it's a HURRICANE.

  22. Irrespective of the result, Shivraj Singh Chauhan will leave behind an unmatched legacy. He got a "BIMARU" state which he nurtured to good health. I hope he becomes the next Agriculture Minister of India.

  23.  @Vizorfam  We are the taxpayers of this country, but You are the DEFINITION of OBSESSION. Commenting on almost every comment here. Most of us on this channel have a mere voting preference (to which we are perfectly ENTITLED to). None of us are involved either with the BJP or the INC or your AAP, or anybody. We watch, talk and go about our business. In your case, SPAMMING is BUSINESS.

  24. They Google "JIHAD". A YouTube link opens up to speeches by Owaisi Bros. The rest is "MISSION KASHMIR"
    53
  25. Key to BJP's success: 1) Total Hindu disenchantment with "SECULAR" parties 2) General dislike for dynastic succession. The Thackerays, the Gandhis will be GOOD RIDDANCE.

  26. Just to clarify I don't think Yogendra Yadav is "Gyaani". My apologies for the mistake. I think Shri Shri Shri Shri YoYa is "Mahagyaani". He keeps black hole equations in his right pocket and AI algorithms in his left pocket. Some say his beef with Kejriwal is because the IITian CM stole Yoya's uniform field theory and Riemann Hypothesis solutions. In his free time, Yoya writes Movie scripts (the latest was Animal). Occasionally, Shri YoYa dabbles in Economics and Agriculture but don't be fooled, Yoya's main expertise is in CHAOS THEORY and GAME THEORY.

  27. Not just politicians, some "prominent" journalists went as far as mocking Owaisi's attack. Secular parties see the Hyderabad-based party as a competitor and threat to their Muslim vote bank. They would prefer him absent. As far as "understanding the Hindu vote" is concerned, I'd rather go with Yashwant Deshmukh than Prashant Kishor. You cannot win an election in India with an "anti-Hindu" image. Hindus don't need pandering or flogging of Muslims to win them over. Hindus just want the same degree of appropriateness and respect bestowed toward others on religious matters. Hence, lewd comments from Mahua Moitra, Digvijay, mocking Kashi by Rahul or Munnawar or Swara don't fit well with the larger Hindusphere. Ours is the first-past-the-post system and with 10-12 candidates in the fray at every constituency, 50% vote is more than sufficient.

  28. Personally, I think Fadnavis has a better chance than Yogi to emerge as BJP's numero uno in the post-Modi era. India never had a Marathi PM so far. Fadnavis has a lot to learn. The cost of crossing Pawar is a steep penance. Fadnavis may be down, but he is undoubtedly not OUT. Also, BJP's 40% vote bank battery is powered by OBC. Fadnavis will have to deliver Maha in 2024 to stake claim to CMship.

  29. At the heart of it lies Punjab's industrial policy (or to be precise the lack of it). Irrespective of who wins Punjab 2022, I do not see political discourse willing to address these "minor" problems. Only when it becomes a CATASTROPHE political class will take it up.

  30. If the Opposition continues its current antics BJP will remain in power throughout the 21st century. Of course, Modi Govt is making a spectacle out of the rescue operation but the images appearing on TV are that of gratefulness, elation, pride, and CONFIDENCE. Anybody questioning this is a BUZZKILL. You are watching BALAKOT REPEATING ALL OVER AGAIN. Congress once again the LOSER.

  31. I have been following international coverage for the past two days (despite having exams in a few days). Mostly all major international outlets like DW, BBC, France24 have "moved on" dismissing it as either expected and busy "whitewashing" the withdrawal. Only Wion and surprisingly Al Jazeera are beating on the topic. Al Jazeera coverage is actually really good.

  32. Please, it's only fair to call it Atal Setu. Mandir+Development has been the hallmark of the Modi decade. Congress had this project stuck in the "Jayanti tax". Truth be told, Congress had its CHANCE. It was poor in delivery and even poorer in marketing. UPA 2 really had nothing to show and under Rahul, it has NO dreams to sell.

  33. If the Govt backs out of these reforms then farmers from Maha, UP, MP, Bihar, and Karnataka should also march towards Delhi. Clearly, there is a step-motherly attitude towards these states. Maharashtra does not even have a proper irrigation system. The fear psychosis of Punjab and Haryana farmers should not be allowed to torpedo the aspirations of Maharashtra and the rest of India farmers.

  34. I'm also NOT happy that my subscription money paying for the salaries of many quacks at thePrint but I do NOT support cancel culture. Don't beat around the bush or hide behind the "ism" cards. Personal remarks have also been levelled against PM Modi. It is all about the "damage" potential. Supriya started the "hacking" drama only because she saw it boomeranging on her.

  35. Taiwan: UNITED IN TAKING ON CHINA India: Farooq Abdullah seeks China's intervention for Kashmir.

  36. Absurdity. He is term limited to 4 years in a country with plenty of checks and balances. He won with a bigger mandate than last that itself tells you that he picking up issues that the people connect with.

  37. Modi really needs to revise his approach of breaking bread with sleazeballs for power. Kumaraswamy himself is married twice. The other is an actress, 29 years his junior. Both Congress and BJP have allied in turns with the JDS. Congress timed the scandal perfectly. They were in power 6 years ago in the Kumaraswamy Govt. The videos started from that time. The best thing to do is to bring the sleazeball in question to justice.

  38. Another issue is the politics over the Vaccine's price. This vaccine is A LIFESAVER. Pharma companies can sell at the price of GOLD and people won't have a choice but to BUY. But a tax-paying company making a reasonable profit is "Haraam" in India.
    50
  39. Even a "sneeze" from Modi would not escape "political decoding" from Lutyen's bald old eagles. Ever heard of Occam's razor? Modi is simply trying to build his legacy. INC did it too. Like it or not, NO leader has ill intentions for his own country. There could be disagreement about the path but not the outcome. Modi is a good man and so are Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal.

  40. Congress neither has the appetite nor the capability to fight the BJP. See WB and Maha >> Two states without a BJP CM but the BJP is the Opposition whereas Congress is in guest appearance role.

  41. Hinduism always taught us to stand and fight for DHARMA. It is finally living up to its deeply enshrined principles. The subcontinent was once a total Hindu civilization. Why and how the demography changed is a pertinent question that the left will never answer.

  42. There'll be a flurry of "expert" videos IF we become Sri Lanka. Good that someone is raising the ALARM BELLS now. Free electricity, OPS, free water, cash handouts, and even the broken mandi system signal LACK OF IMAGINATION. I am not a cynic, and I think most people won't fall for "revdis". I hope people respond by saying "Keep the sops. Give us Infra, and we'll get these things for ourselves". Personally, I think AAP's education infra, Modi's hard infra push, and even Pinarayi and Naveen's industry focus are good but INC's hard left SOCIALIST turn is SCARY for the country.

  43. This CLAIM of unfair "ADVANTAGE" to CBSE students should be tested empirically before making any inference. Check the performance of CBSE vs Non-CBSE students and put forward your argument.

  44. Modi on track to siege Bihar unless Nitish does a SS.
    49
  45. BJP should have given some "revdis" to the middle class. They seem confident of their hold over the middle class but Hindu unity is historically very fickle. They have taken a big risk.

  46. Socialism = Transfer of wealth from honest rich to dishonest rich - NA Palkhiwala. (I hope people will notice that there is no "poor" mentioned in the quote)

  47. CORRECTION: BJP ONLY lost POWER in Karnataka, NOT the state. It is still very much a major player in Karnataka. Nevertheless, the INABILITY to set a positive local narrative around the Bommai administration is a bigger DEFEAT than the LOSS of SEATS/POWER. BJP should go ahead without a CM candidate in Rajasthan. It's time they give Jats their due in Rajasthan. In the other states, the approach would matter more than the RESULTS.

  48. If Agriculture is a state subject then why is Punjab Govt not legalizing MSP? Let them legalize it and demonstrate the "benefits" to farmers from a statutory MSP. If he succeeds Amrinder will become the next PM of India.

  49. His brother wanted 15 minutes police free India. VICTIM CARD is not working even in Europe these days.
