Starting in 2002, Spokane, Wash., journalist Sherry Jones toiled weekends on a racy historical novel about Aisha, the young wife of the prophet Muhammad. Ms. Jones learned Arabic, studied scholarly works about Aisha’s life, and came to admire her protagonist as a woman of courage. When Random House [...]

Sudheendra Kulkarni remembers Solzhenitsyn’s call for adherence to truth at all times, especially in public life.
In my last week’s column I had mentioned that I was an eyewitness and facilitator in the whistle-blowing operation, conducted by three BJP MPs in collaboration with a reputed TV channel, to expose the “cash-for-votes” scam. The channel stands accused [...]
No other civilization has suffered such severe body blows as the Hindu civilization. The fear of sudden and repeated massacres of Hindus no longer exists but is replaced by something far deadlier. The rot is now from within. An openly-hostile media, academia, and other public institutions, several of them funded and supported by Hindus have [...]
Professional knowledge and professional competence have to be acquired by hard work and by constant study. In this fast-moving technologically developing world you can never acquire sufficient professional knowledge. You have to keep at it, and at it, and at it.

The reason for media’s ruthless, unfair and incessant criticism of everything Hindu and the BJP in particular is that the Hindus have been playing the game by the rules set by the Opponent. As such the BJP should’ve tackled [...]
In a truly awesome post dissecting our Puppet Prime Minister’s daughter’s dubious attempt to categorize historians, JK covers a spacious spectrum. His dissection is a series of consecutive slaps to the lady, who is ever so politically correct despite having her flashes of intelligence. But the best thing about his post is the amount of [...]
Amardeep Singh, the kind professor who refused to engage me in debate writes about his strong support to forming SAALT [link thanks: Gaurav]
The group has published a position paper endorsed by dozens of local South Asian American groups, which attempts to assemble a South Asian political agenda that might find broad support amongst various constituencies [...]
Concerning the materials of seditions. It is a thing well to be considered; for the surest way to prevent seditions (if the times do bear it) is to take away the matter of them. For if there be fuel prepared, it is hard to tell, whence the spark shall come, that shall set it on [...]
