First they were mum. Then they said it was the work of "suspected" Maoists. Then the attacks against Churches and Christians happened. Then they said "Hindutva goons" are up to their usual mischief. A month later, a Maoist leader showed up on TV and "owned" responsibility for Swami Lakshmananda Saraswathi’s murder. Thus, the Christian hand [...]

Historically, Gandhara or Kandahar was a land renowned for beautiful women. Remember Gandhari? The battle-ravaged land has come a long way from there to 1999.
Kanchan Gupta’s powerful article is an eye-opener to the half-informed and the ignorant. Simultaneously, it is a tight slap on the collective faces of those who, till date decry the NDA’s [...]

Public discourse in India is a case-study in parodies. The who’s who of the worst communal scum control the narrative on what constitutes secularism. The preying wolves in wolves’ clothes hunts the sheep painted in wolf’s clothing. However, all these charades will eventually give way under the unendurable load of self-woven fabrications.

“I wasn’t aware that Amir had married again. If I’d known about this earlier, I wouldn’t have spared him. Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I wasn’t aware of it myself. Never mind. All I want is a good match for Nazir.”
“He must definitely be extremely handsome. Your son, after all.”
She fished inside her handbag for [...]

Read this superb piece by Kanchan Gupta on the attempts to defend the latest darling of the treasonous combine of secular intellectuals, human rights vultures, and media. It is also a barometer of the absolute absence of any morals in these damned souls.
In a line, Kasab was among the vermin who waged war against [...]

Here is the Pioneer’s damning expose of how telecom minister D. Raja subverted the Indian corporate laws and made Rs.755 crores in one year without investing anything. Interesting how this missed the free and fearless paper’s sting. For that matter, no other media house thought it fit to give this wide coverage. We only need [...]

The following is my translation of Dr. S.L Bhyrappa’s article that appeared in Vijaya Karnataka on 16 October 2008.
It provides an all-encompassing perspective on the proselytization menace threatening India and is justifiably lengthy.
Read and weep. Better still, do something.

There’s no greater proof for the fact that public memory is brusque than this. Indian Express barely conceals its glee at the Congress party’s recent electoral victories. As expected, there’s no mention of terror anywhere. A sign of the times despite the fact that they’re fully aware of the nature of the terror that confronts [...]

I know I’m a little late but hear me out.
Interesting sights open themselves up when you saunter inside Muslim-dominated localities in Bangalore (perhaps in other cities as well, I don’t know). Over the past two weeks, I was witness to large, bold signs of December 6, BLACK DAY FOR MUSLIMS and variations thereof. One sign [...]

For the uninitiated, read this first.
One of the surest traits of an enduring work is its re-readability. SL Bhyrappa’s Aavarana like most of his other masterpieces comes sealed with this trait. Even after several re-readings I start at a random page and before I realize, I’d have read the entire novel all over. And now, [...]
