Indian journalism should hang its head in shame that Indian TV channels sending reporters to cover the horror of the Turkish earthquake are boasting about being there. This is a horrible event not a scoop.

Well has there been any reason specified by the government for denial of tourist visa. As for vindictiveness, Aatish is a very small fry for Modi to bother with.

With due respect Sir he is entitled to an ordinary tourist visa. If the action taken by the Modi government was not vindictive why is he denied one? And try to be less judgemental about things you do not know.

Aah!! Time for me to say what I do to all those who gloat or joke about my son’s exile: if you have children may you find it as hard to see them as it has become for me to see my son.

Saw ‘Pathaan’ yesterday. Loved it. Not just because it is the best Hindi action film I have seen but also because the hero of the film is a Muslim after a long while. Well done Bollywood for defying Hindutva bullies and ugly political pressure.

Congratulations to , perhaps the only Grammy winner in history who was imprisoned for his talent. ‘Baraye’ is both the anthem and the manifesto of Iran’s freedom movement, the most viral song in the country’s history.
Quote Tweet
1. The single best way to understand Iran's uprising is not any book or essay, but Shervin Hajipour's 2m anthem "Baraye" which garnered over 40m views in 48h (before he was imprisoned). Its profundity requires multiple views. (Translation by @BBCArdalan)

501 days since Taliban BANNED girls from going to school.
Every day that a girl is denied her basic human right to an education is a crime against humanity.
The Taliban banned girls education for 6 years during their last rule in Afghanistan. We MUST NOT let that happen again!

Putin's comparison of the Battle of Stalingrad with his current invasion of Ukraine is disgusting. What an insult to the Russians, Ukrainians, and other soldiers of the USSR who died to defeat actual Nazis in Stalingrad in 1943.

Today I'm hearing from many Iranian-Americans who happen to be Muslim & are very pleased with her removal because she has been 24/7 defender & apologist for mullah regime in Iran. They are sick of her constant support for this vile child-killing misogynist regime ruling Iran.

Many Indians resent the BBC having more influence than any Indian outlet over how the world perceives India. But India has only itself to blame. You can’t expect anyone outside the country to take its shouty propaganda channels seriously. [My take]

As someone who loves and respects Bollywood I have been appalled by the attack on it from Hindu fanatics. And specially the attack on SRK. Pathan comes as proof that Bollywood continues to live and thrive. Jio Bollywood.

U should read 'Durbar' by . It provides a vivid detailing of the most troubled times (from 1975) our country has been through and is, in a sense, a compelling history of our past. This book is available on Amazon.
