Tamil Nadu politics, for the uninitiated, often looks less like democracy and more like theatre—complete with superstars, dramatic dialogues, and the occasional tragedy. As someone who has both followed this state’s political circus and claims Tamilian roots (my forefathers migrated long ago, but the DNA of drama runs deep), I can assure you that actor-worship…
India has always prided itself on its diversity and the peaceful coexistence of faiths. Yet, time and again, we witness ugly flashes of communal friction—most often during religious processions or festivals. The disturbing part is not merely that such incidents occur, but that they recur with uncanny political convenience. More telling is the pattern: these…
While the rest of the country battles swollen rivers and devastating floods, Telangana is preoccupied with watching another storm—the one brewing inside the Kalvakuntla household. Forget the weather app, the only forecast people here need is: 100% chance of family feuds, with scattered corruption scandals. The Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly TRS, once the proud…
Bihar never disappoints when it comes to political drama. Caste wars, last-minute alliances, and leaders switching sides faster than cricketers changing jerseys—everything is part of the script. But the 2025 Assembly elections promise something even more entertaining: the Congress-RJD combine campaigning not on jobs, not on development, but on a bizarre slogan— “vote-chori” (vote theft)….
Can there be a bigger political farce than Kerala’s Communist government choosing to play host to the Global Ayyappa Sangamam at Pampa? A party that once criminalised and brutalised Ayyappa devotees now wants to preside over their summit — if this is not hypocrisy, what is? Adding insult to injury, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan even…
The so-called “mass burial” conspiracy at the Dharmasthala temple was more than just a bizarre crime story. It was an audacious attempt to smear one of Karnataka’s most respected Hindu pilgrimage centres, a test case to see how far anti-Hindu narratives could be pushed. But in the end, the episode has not only collapsed under…
Politics in Karnataka has long thrived on temple turf wars, but the storm around Dharmasthala—one of South India’s most revered shrines—has taken an extraordinary twist. What began as a chilling testimony has now turned on its head, with the so-called whistleblower himself confessing that it was all part of a larger conspiracy to defame the…
As someone who has spent decades observing and reporting on the Congress party, I can say this without hesitation: honesty and Congress politics have never been compatible. The party’s moral compass has always been set, not by principles or performance, but by the only currency it truly values—loyalty to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. That is how…
As the Election Commission rolls out its nationwide Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, the political temperature is boiling over. The exercise—aimed at removing deceased voters, duplicate entries, and illegal migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh—has become the latest punching bag for the Congress and its allies. But the irony here is rich. For years,…
Politics, I tell you, never fails to surprise. Especially now. One moment you’re sipping chai while watching NATO leaders nod politely in Brussels, and the next thing you know, Donald Trump is back in the White House, tweeting threats, slapping tariffs, and declaring wars (mostly trade ones, for now) like he never left. The man…
