 The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom and Amnesty International's lack of determination in condemning the atrocities committed against the Hindus and other minority communities in Bangladesh is rather unprecedented. While the Hindu monks of ISCKON are facing intimidation and violent assaults with a number of them being arrested, the two vital organisations that are vocal against religious intolerance in other countries are unwilling to censure the Yunus led interim government in Bangladesh for their attacks on minorities for some inexplicable reasons. A noted Bangladeshi academic's recommendation to the Yunus government to procure F 15 fighter jets from Pakistan and support the insurgents in the North East who want to breakaway from the Indian Union is not only dangerous but needs a stringent reprimand and caution from the Indian Government. The Government of India should take adequate security measures to counter these provocative statements and if t...

 Bangladesh under the Yunus regime that is continually perpetuating attacks on the minorities in Bangladesh was widely ridiculed after it asserted that minorities were safe in that country even as India conveyed a stern message that the failure of the Bangladeshi government to safeguard the interest of the minority communities was a matter of grave concern. The Ministry of External affairs' condemnation of the atrocities commited by Islamic radicals on the Hindus in Bangladesh has evoked an inexplicable response from the Yunus Government which tried to downplay the gravity of the ongoing situation in Bangladesh. That radical Islamists are dictating terms with the Yunus government is evident from the street protests where religious fanatics have threatened to peel off the skin of all the members who owe allegiance to the religious sect of ISKCON. It is rather disgusting to note that following calls from Islamic  radical  student leaders to ban ISKCON the Bangladesh governm...

 The Supreme Court's decision to junk the plea by a petitioner to revert to the practice of using paper ballots instead of the EVM's that were susceptible to malpractice was junked by the Apex Court asserting the procedure for conducting elections in the country was devoid of any irregularities. The Apex Court's judgement is crucial in view of the fact that Congress President Kharge has been emphasising on the need to the use of paper ballots to reduce malpractices in the electoral process. The Supreme Court's cryptic observation that when a party loses it finds flaws with EVM's otherwise they are quite satisfied when on the winning side. Following its electoral success in the preceding Lok Sabha election results the opposition parties did not raise any complaints about the EVMs but after their electoral rout in Maharashtra and the assembly bypolls in several regional constituencies it has once again started blaming the EVM's as in the past. Despite getting a sn...

 The barbaric and heinous attack on Bangladeshi Hindu minorities by the Yunus led government in Bangladesh since the ouster of Sheikh Hasina from power is indeed reprehensible. The way in which Islamist fundamentalists have butchered and sexually assaulted minorities in Bangladesh including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and Buddhists is totally unacceptable and calls for a stern global response to such acts of criminalities. Yunus wholesale received the Nobel peace prize is ironically at the helm of affairs and continues to remain a mute spectator to the atrocities unleashed by radical elements in Bangladesh. India which liberated Bangladesh from the clutches of Pakistan which tormented and tortured the people of Bangladesh is now witnessing a surge of violence against the Hindus who fought shoulder to shoulder against the Pakistani army as a collective unit under the name of Mukti Joddha a guerrilla outfit that received covert support from the Indian army till the Pakistanis were driv...

 The violence in Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh is unfortunate considering the fact that it came against the backdrop of a court ruling that granted the Archaeological Survey of India to undertake a study to determine whether a temple existed on the premises of a mosque that was built by a foreign intruder several centuries ago. While the survey was taking place a group of miscreants attacked the team of surveyors that prompted the police to safeguard the officials from the agitated mob which was peeved with the administration's decision to give the go ahead for the survey to continue. The attackers pelted stones at the police with intense ferocity compelling the police to take stringent action in self defence. It is matter of grave concern that instead of relying on the court ordered survey to determine whether a temple existed or not those opposed to the court orders took the law in their hands and resorted to widespread violence. Such acts ought to be universally condemned and no one ...

  The BJP'S remarkable accomplishment with its allies in the recently concluded assembly elections in the Maharashtra polls exemplifies the fact that the saffron brigade has emerged strongly after the Lok Sabha and subsequent regional bypolls where it did not gain much momentum as expected.Despite frantic efforts by its chief rival the INDIA alliance alongwith with its associates  trying its best to garner the minority votes, the plot did not yield the desired result. It was once again Modi's charismatic stature that stood in good stead for the Mahayuti alliance. The saffron brigade with its emphasis on the terminology batenge to katenge found reasonable acceptance among the voters. The Mahaagadi combine was unable to counter this narrative successfully and was totally outwitted by the ruling dispensation. The Congress which was brazenly optimistic about queering the pitch fot its arch rivals the BJP with its strategy of exploiting the caste equation and toying with the minori...

        Reports of Rohingiya Muslims and infiltrators from Bangladesh stealthily entering Himachal Pradesh is a cause for alarm and apprehension in the popular hill resort of Shimla. The construction of an illegal mosque that gives refugee to the Rohingiya Muslims and Bangladeshi infiltrators has justifiably sparked anger among the residents of Shimla. The fact that the Rohingyas are known for their ferocious nature and their propensity to indulge in criminal activities has created a sense of fear among those residing in Shimla for decades. Reports which suggest that areas around the illegal mosque has witnessed a spurt in crimes including abduction, assault on local businessmen and misdemeanor with womenfolk in recent times was unthinkable even not so long ago. The abject failure of the administration to prevent the unhindered influx of Rohingyas and Bangladeshi infiltrators is indeed despicable. What is surprising is the way these unscrupulous elements evade the se...
