The call to boycott Turkey and Azerbaijan is currently trending in India following these Nations’ open support for Pakistan. Similarly, there’s a growing demand to boycott Pakistani artistes. But do such boycotts actually work? To a certain extent, yes. Turkey supporting Pakistan is understandable. An Indo-Pak war means more money for Turkey and its President’s…
Did Jesus live in this village of the shepherds? Pahalgam in Kashmir, where the dastardly terrorist attack, targeting male Hindus, took place on 22nd April 2025, according to apocryphal history, is a sacred place where Jesus and even Moses before him walked! Pahalgam is in the Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. It is located…

By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD Last week I wrote about how thoughtlessly our civic authorities have behaved in chopping down forty beautiful Yellow Shower trees on the Hyder Ali Road, under the lame pretext of a need to widen it.

Another opportunity slips through Karnataka’s fingers. Silectric Semiconductor Manufacturing Pvt. Ltd., which was considering Mysuru for its next plant, has now backed out. The official reason? “Issues with technical direction,” stated the Company. But the real reason, according to industry insiders was the inability of the Karnataka Government to hand over legally clear land and…
Shakespeare may say audaciously, ‘What is there in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.’ But you try calling marigold as rose and see if you get the smell of a rose. Name matters. Which is why we have many Gandhis in a political dynasty. Does any of them bear…
American President John F. Kennedy in 1963, when granting Winston Churchill US Citizenship said, “He mobilised the English language and sent it to battle.” Today, following Pakistani terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on 22nd April, 2025, targeting only Hindus and killing them, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s friend and US President Donald Trump might say on…
Since its birth in 1947, Pakistan has been exporting terror to India. However, the recent Pakistan-backed terrorist attack at Pahalgam is unlike anything seen before.
