Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Working President Kalwakuntla Taraka Rama Rao’s (KTR)recent remarks about his daughter choosing to study in the United States because she felt Bharat did not have colleges of comparable quality have opened a debate that goes far beyond one politician’s family. The real question is not whether an individual has the right…
As Bharat celebrates its 80th Independence Day today, there is much to celebrate—and much to be ashamed of. We have every reason to take pride in a nation that has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies, a formidable military power and a rising force in technology, manufacturing and infrastructure. Yet, on this…
The alleged theft of devotees’ offerings at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya is not merely a case of missing cash, jewellery or valuables. It is, above all, a betrayal of faith. Millions of devotees who contribute to the temple do so not as a commercial transaction, but as an act of devotion. To…
The tabling of the 127-page inquiry report in Parliament recommending the removal of former Delhi High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma marks an important moment for judicial accountability in Bharat. The controversy surrounding the discovery of large quantities of burnt currency at his official residence has raised disturbing questions about judicial integrity, institutional transparency and…
China built its solar manufacturing empire on scale, cheap capital, aggressive pricing, and an extraordinary concentration of the global photovoltaic supply chain. But the very strategy that made Chinese manufacturers dominant has now produced a painful backlash: too much capacity, too little pricing power and mounting losses. For Bharat, this is not a moment for…
The Lok Sabha’s passage of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development (Amendment) Bill, 2026, on August 7 should have triggered a serious parliamentary debate.

This…
A reported attack on former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s car is reprehensible and must be condemned without qualification. Political differences can never justify violence, intimidation or an attack on a political leader. The state government must order an impartial investigation, identify those responsible and ensure that they are prosecuted in accordance with law….
If there is one politician in contemporary Bharatiya politics who has perfected the art of converting political desperation into convenient fiction, it is Arvind Kejriwal. His latest claim on ethanol is not merely misleading; it is a spectacular demonstration of how far political rhetoric can travel when facts are treated as an inconvenience. Kejriwal wants…
The conviction of veteran journalist Tarun Tejpal marks one of the saddest chapters in the history of Bharatiya journalism. It is not merely the fall of an individual once celebrated for his investigative journalism and literary flair; it is a painful reminder that brilliance in writing can never compensate for failure in personal conduct. Journalism,…
Politics has every right to question government policies. Democracy thrives on scrutiny, debate and accountability.

Arvind Kejriwal’s opposition to Bharat’s E20 ethanol-blended fuel policy falls precisely into that…
