    Nice interview! Regardless of whether I agree with him or not, like him or not, he certainly brings some freshness in politics. Hope he succeeds, as he is, - just for the sake of diversity.

    Isn’t this a blatant interference of Government into sports associations, which is against the code laid down by IOC?

    Booking through is so sickening! The ticket has not arrived and I am not able to reach their call centre! Automated menus that would suck everyone’s live!

    Thanks to for making it free. This is one interesting read on Rarely, ’successful’ business people are asked some ’serious’ questions in media or even by analysts in conference calls! High time, I stop reading about “Unicorns”!

    If there is one scheme that must be scrapped by straight away, it is this ‘Gold for Thali’ scheme… This will be in line with Periyar’s thinking too!

    And here in India, we have “experts” commenting on MGNREGA as a scheme for “lazy people” as if they are offered a CEO post otherwise!

    'To reduce universal credit payment at this time is brutal.' says this language is 'divisive and dangerous' and the government should 'work on the theory that people at home aren't sitting there lazy, they really want a good job.'

    The video is crystal clear. Protestors cannot be silenced through murder. There has to be accountability for the innocent blood of farmers that has been spilled and justice must be delivered before a message of arrogance and cruelty enters the minds of every farmer. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    One of the biggest corporate crimes in India, The Bhopal Gas Tragedy, happened when his uncle Keshub Mahindra was chairman of Union Carbide. If he had encouraged whistle blowers in UC and protected them, we may have never witnessed such a tragedy… Now, preaching..

    Whistleblowers are now a regular—& valuable—part of the corporate landscape. One should avoid hasty judgements & await due process & enquiry. Yet this testimony raises all sorts of alarm bells. What are your reactions to this, given that India is a huge market for Facebook?

    IT Folks working 5 days a week have a minimum of 104 days in a year as time-off from work. And they crib about the for daily wage workers. Even if the money is given for free for 100 days, which isn’t, what’s wrong with that? More so, it is 100 days per family!

    There is nothing more annoying than former civil servants writing op-ed pieces about the functioning of bureaucracy. Here, RK Raghavan writes not just about Indian Police but also Met police. (1/2)

    This unilateral statement, especially from the very top, is unwarranted. Ideally, they must conclude the entire investigation and present the final findings. This disclosure places the victim in a poor light.

    Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari said that banned two-finger test was not done on the female officer who alleged that she was raped by a colleague at Coimbatore Air Force College. He said disciplinary action will be taken based on the report of inquiry.

    And they had plenty of time to hear a pointless contempt of Court case against

    The SC wants the judiciary to become even more inaccessible for the public. It has not heard Art 370, CAA, electoral bonds for over 2 years.. and now it wants to deny farmers and others right to protest
