    I do not believe there is a single minister in this government who has a deep interest in history, literature or science. I wonder if any of them read more than the daily newspaper. | writes.

    A terrific piece by one of our finest public servants on "the rampant politicisation of virtually every arm of the state and the partisan use of the state machinery in pursuit of political and ideological ends":

    Whatever Sanghi ideologues may now claim, the truth is that when Gandhi was alive, the RSS had an intense hatred for the Mahatma. Their sarsanghchalak, MS Golwalkar, was particularly venomous towards Gandhi. Read the link below:

    A must-read piece by on the "choice between a 70-year-old plural constitutional democracy, however imperfect, that is India, and a violent majoritarian Hindu rashtra that is in the process of being birthed".

    'Journalism in India was once a profession. It has now become a trade. It has no more moral function than the manufacture of soap...To accept a hero and worship him has become its principal duty.' Ambedkar, 1943.

    A great decision but remember this folks, the taxpayers of Gujarat must now pay for Chowkidar Narendra Modi's splendid chowkidari in 2002. At least now, he can't say "I got a clean chit from the courts". via

    Further proof, if indeed it was required, that the Election Commission of India is utterly, wholly, toothless. The misuse of the Armed Forces’s honour continued unimpeded.

    Now "Chowkidar" is running scared! Corrects his doctored video, includes one bit that he had clipped out. Still doesn't have the courage to share the next line:ना हिन्दू बनेगा ना मुसलमान बनेगा, इंसान की औलाद है इंसान बनेगा! Why is he so scared of this line? Communal disharmony?

    Y’day, one of ’s johnny tried intimidating me, perhaps on cue from Yadav, for supposedly an ‘edited’ video. So here is an ‘unedited’ one where he can be seen spreading hate against the RSS, promoting enemity between communities... Communal bigotry at a ‘शोक सभा’?

    I am disappointed and his party has endorsed NOTA. If this is a historic election, then every anti-Fascist vote counts. One may not like opposition parties, but we need to chose between the worst and the bad. NOTA is a waste this time.

    Nehru, 1953: "For us to show a narrow and deplorable nationalism in such matters is not to add to the credit of our country but to lead people to think that we are petty in outlook and suffering from some kind of inferiority complex."(6/6)

    Nehru, 1953: "Indeed, both of them could not have done so without the help of the whole party, ... and the whole party could not have done so without the accumulated experience, labour and sacrifice of all their predecessors who tried to reach the top of Everest."(4/6).
