“We are living the funereal carnival of our dispossession. And we probably do not know. Successor generations might turn to ask: What were you applauding?”

“We have been systematically turned into a laboratory of diminution, we are willing material for dipstick trials. Each time idiocy or affront is inflicted on us is a test of how much we can be reduced...”
#StateOfPlay @ttindia

“We listen to the most absurd mumbo-jumbo with rapture and invest in ludicrous wisdoms against our good sense. We wantonly ignore the disfiguring of our history and heritage. We seem to have forsaken our collective intelligence to embrace pure baloney”

Leadership is not about kindling baser human instincts, leadership is about having the courage to call them out and spur people to elevated ways and thinking. Leadership is about telling societies what’s wrong with them, not about swimming along with wrong
Mahatma Gandhi paid with his life fighting bigotry, prejudice and hatred, but fight he did through his life, waging against the tide very often and setting examples. We have sadly not only shunned the example but also begun to pride ourselves in mocking his message
Dog-whistling prejudice and hatred, gaslighting violence, spurring social dissonance and fracture can fetch you votes and power, but we know how such “popular” and “powerful” entities ended and how they are remembered.

The main Opposition to @NitishKumar in #Bihar? It is not Lalu or his gathbandhan, it is @narendramodi and @BJP4India
Here’s why:

telegraphindia.com/india/bihar-as…
“The BJP is wise to Nitish’s low strike-rate record and will most likely work to trip its ally’s Assembly numbers even as it keeps the pretence of being part of the Nitish-led NDA.
Paswan’s LJP is not the only move the BJP has made to that end.”
“The creation, overnight, of a third alliance between Upendra Kushwaha’s RLSP and Mayawati’s BSP, and the sudden withdrawal of Mukesh Mallah’s VIP, a not insignificant vote-splitter, from the RJD gathbandhan, are clearly BJP pawn-play to corner Nitish on the Bihar chessboard.”

यूँ तो होता है कि हम सजा देते हैं।
यूँ भी होता है कि हम सज़ा देते हैं ।।
यूँ तो होता है कि हम दुआ देते हैं।
यूँ भी होता है कि हम दवा देते हैं ।।
यूँ तो होता है कि हम तुमको बड़ा कहते हैं
यूँ भी होता है कि हम तुमसे लड़ा करते हैं

“It probably is a reflection on the minders of external strategy that New Delhi appears so deeply swamped, diplomatically and militarily, in its neighbourhood. ...” My piece on the government’s bungling and the price the nation is paying
m.telegraphindia.com/india/so-deepl…
“The govt has offered little sense of the simmer that came to a bloody boil in the Galwan Valley. There exists no govt narrative on how and why events have marched to a flare-up. It’s posture has been a mix of denial, indifference and obfuscation.” m.telegraphindia.com/india/so-deepl…
“India today finds itself stressfully coiled along its frontiers as never before. Lives have been lost in clashes with the Chinese for the first time in 45 years; ties with Pakistan remain cantankerous and the fence pepper-hot; Nepal has cocked a border snook”
