This video will be ignored as usual because it doesn't fit the perception and views of the right-wing. I thank Owaisi for standing up for India and Indian Muslims against Pakistan in Pakistan. Whatever his doings in India, he atleast didn't show any divisions in the Indian society in Pakistan...

All bills and impending laws that impact the livelihood of farmers and those connected to the land should be looked at more closely. Too many times in our country, land of a few thousands is improperly appropriated for the supposed benefit of millions and in many cases in collusion with private...

It could just be that these sisters do not take BS from any road side romeo. Its hard to imagine a girl picking on guys in buses and public places especially in a male dominated society like ours.

Another u-turn by the govt. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-bjp-wanted-files-on-netaji-subhas-chandra-bose-made-public-now-government-says-no-2039760

Here's a Baniya advocating Brahmin hegemony on Indian culture. http://www.news18.com/news/chhattisgarh/brahmins-can-save-indian-culture-from-degradation-says-minister-brij-mohan-agrawal-648949.html

I agree and let me rectify it - Baniyas are more adept at taking occupational and financial risks. Jats not so much. They may take other risks - immigration, joining the armed forces etc. After all these too are risks to one's life. But its the former type of risks that have helped these...

You already made it a communal thing and your entire post is based on the presumption that those opposing the event are communal. :) ABVP and BJP are political organizations. Hence any events backed by them have to be seen in that light. Period. I do think the VC could have handled this...

I think the VC (a former general and brother of Naseeruddin Shah) feared for the peace of the university and hence didn't allow the event. He is well within his rights to do it. Perhaps its the backing of ABVP and BJP to the event that is stoking the fears of the VC. After all, ABVP is known...

I don't think BJP too is pushing for it due to any altruistic reasons. They want mileage out of it. After all, their parent Jan Sangh opposed the Raja when he stood for elections in the 1952 Lok Sabha elections. The only way AMU can beat the political parties at their own game is if it...

I think we shouldn't ignore the fact that the Brahmin and Baniya communities due to nature of their stature (more true for Brahmins) in the caste system and their traditional occupations got equipped with skills that helped them excel in corporate and business. These skills were passed down...

Its despicable if they do not honour the man who gave them the land to set it up. Does anyone know if AMU honors Raja Mahendra Pratap in anyway untill now. Perhaps a bust, or a picture anywhere in the campus?

I am afraid, that's a pretty self-serving argument. In other words, to hell with the conditions and wishes of the local Kashmiris (our own countrymen btw), as long as it serves the nationalistic pride and political continuance of the rest. True we can't ignore the role of Pakistan in supporting...

Just came across the news. The issue seems to be needlessly communalized and politicized. The problem seems to be the political overtones via involvement of ABVP and the BJP in organizing it and the opposition by SP. I think the AMU management should take the lead and organize a function...

Its those who do not understand the history and culture of the communities in North India that think the soldiers who served British India were traitors. The author rightly points out that they were doing their job and selling their skills just as any other would do. I once had a lunchtime...

And how did the said security situation came about? Are we burying our heads in the sand and saying our own governments had nothing do with the alienation and subversion of democracy that led to the rise of militancy? We can talk about agreements and acts all our lives, but we can't wish away...

Sumit bhai, I didnt say they hate Modi. I said they have reservations about him and he's not as popular in the community as it seems across the nation. And neither did I mean to say Sikhs hate Hindus. Its the Hindutva agenda which isnt appreciated. Hindus are different from Hindutva agenda and...

One of the very evident effects of the rise of the Hindu right wing is the polarization of the society. For eg. the rise of the Muslim right wing political organizations like MIM. In the recent Maha elections, MIM has gained ground by winning a couple of seats. It now plans to enter Delhi as...

Modi isn't popular in the Sikh community in Punjab or abroad. Those politically aligned with the Akalis may support him, but in general the community has reservation about him. From what I gather, this is mainly due to the fears of the Hindutva cause espoused by the organizations that support...

Agreed. Demographics have changed considerably. Hence a few posts back I mentioned imposing a self rule under UN watch of 10 years of the combined valley. Though another issue in that will be that the UN is no longer as relevant as it could be and may sway to whoever weilds more influence.

Ghazni was probably the furthest from tolerance and Aurangzeb was no angel. But how was Akbar intolerant?
