PM & Judicial Faith

India’s judiciary is fast becoming a national punchline. What was once the moral compass of the Republic now appears adrift—confused, inconsistent, and increasingly self-absorbed. From frivolous Public Interest Litigations to politically coloured observations, the higher judiciary seems to have lost touch with both its constitutional duty and the common citizen. When even senior advocates of…

Dump The Deadweight

The ₹300 crore Pune land scam swirling around Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s family is not just another corruption allegation—it is a credibility crisis staring straight at the BJP and the NDA. The fact that the shady deal involves a firm linked to Ajit Pawar’s son, Parth Pawar, puts the ruling Mahayuti government squarely…

Fallen Tycoon

It’s the tale of two brothers who inherited the same empire but built dramatically different destinies. While Mukesh Ambani today stands tall among the world’s business elite — driving digital revolutions, shaping markets, and competing with global giants — his younger sibling Anil Ambani now finds himself grappling with criminal probes that could well drag…

Reckless and Dangerous

Rahul Gandhi has crossed a line that no responsible parliamentarian should dare touch. By alleging caste discrimination within the Indian Armed Forces, the Leader of the Opposition has launched a reckless attack on the most sacred institution of this nation — an institution that embodies unity, courage, and patriotism beyond caste, creed or religion. In…

Defamation as Intimidation

A disturbing trend is unfolding in India’s media landscape: those facing criminal allegations — the corrupt, the fraudsters, the land grabbers, the shady power brokers — have discovered a new weapon to muzzle the truth. Not guns, not goons — but defamation notices. These legal threats, dressed up as concern for “reputation,” are now the…

Bahubali Lifts India

India’s space odyssey has entered a new strategic era with the successful launch of the powerful military communication satellite, popularly known as “Bahubali,” atop ISRO’s heavy-lift launch vehicle LVM3 from Sriharikota. This achievement is far beyond a routine space mission. It is a loud and clear announcement of India’s determination to fortify its national security…

Dangerous Desperation

The Congress party’s political desperation is now crossing every line of democratic decency. Rejected repeatedly by the nation despite all its propaganda, fear-mongering and freebies, its leaders have descended to provoking unrest among the youth — not to strengthen democracy, but to destabilize it. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s recent call for Gen-Z to hit the…

Kharge’s Desperate RSS Rant

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s latest outburst — demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) — is not just laughably ignorant, but politically suicidal. It reeks of desperation, confusion, and perhaps the dawning realization that Congress has no ideological ground left to stand on. When a century-old party, once the dominant force of Indian…

Failed Regime Change Effort

The plot to destabilize India was scripted long ago — in foreign capitals, executed through Indian proxies, and camouflaged as “protests” and “civil resistance.” From the anti-CAA agitations to the so-called farmers’ movement, the Opposition’s toolkit has remained the same: manufacture unrest, demonize Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and project India as a nation on the…
