India has 57 Central Universities. 55 are secular. AMU and Jamia got Muslim communal status under Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh. Last year, central govt fully funded these two with Rs 2,100 crore. No Central Universities for Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus, Christians, Jains...

Bangladesh is reimagining Rabindranath Tagore, the man who gave the country its national anthem, as a closet Zionist, a cruel zamindar and a Muslim hater. Can the Bengali polymath pass the Gen Z test? I write for @ThePrintIndia theprint.in/opinion/banglade…

Bangladesh is reimagining Rabindranath Tagore as a Muslim hater. Can he pass the Gen Z test?

Once celebrated as a cultural icon, Rabindranath Tagore is now facing criticism from Bangladeshis who are accusing him of elitism, communalism and being a Zionist sympathiser.

Durga Puja Bookstall of CPI(M): Why are we debating bookstall, not the ideas & narrative of breaking Bharat? Writes: @DigantaWrites organiser.org/2026/10/25/419…

Durga Puja Bookstall of CPI(M) and narrative of breaking Bharat!

The distinction matters. A bookstall is not merely a place where books are sold; it is also a platform for ideas

Curfews in France: restoring order ✅ Barricades in Delhi: fascism ❌ Western democracy lecturers and their frustrated Indian cheerleaders really do make a cosy little hypocrisy club. My take:

Thank you @sardesairajdeep for your grudging endorsement of my stand. It is precisely because we have imbibed the traditional Bengali reverence for books that we are appalled. That is why the BJP defended the likes of Salman Rushdie (he got his visa back during the Vajpayee govt) & Taslima. This tradition of Hindu pluralism has guided us and not those who feign a liberal inheritance. Happy Vijayadashami.

‘My head hangs in shame!’ Glad @swapan55 said this BUT it needs more than just fine words to rein in the mob that owes allegiance to his own party. What happened to the Bengali middle class reverence for books? Those who claim to worship Ma Durga and Ma Saraswati, then vandalise book stalls during Durga Puja? This is what happens when religion is only an instrument for political power. telegraphindia.com/amp/west-…

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.

The “rioters” in France burned down every type of building possible. You had churches burned, you had city halls burned, you had every possible store imaginable burned… from supermarkets, to video game stores, to Louis Vuitton. They attacked churches. They attacked cars. They attacked everything they could see. And yet, somehow not a single mosque was touched by them. When are we going to admit that this is not a protest but a jihad?

White Trash Media, unmindful of how their countries are getting violently skrewed by ‘cockroaches’, is doing propaganda for ‘cockroaches’ in Bharat. France’s public broadcaster @France24_en is busy sniffing beneath the tail of India while France is brought down brick by brick.

Marichjhapi massacre of Dalit refugees becomes Durga Puja theme in Kolkata pandal We should thank @deepscribble for writing the book ‘Blood Island’ on the forgotten massacre of Dalit refugees on a faraway island in the Sundarbans during 1978-79. Most Indians were completely unaware of this massacre. Even those who claim to be champions and messiahs of the Dalit cause remained silent about it. theprint.in/feature/around-t…
