Adversarial media working on hidden agenda ? Operation Sindoor “Because of an abrupt ceasefire, Operation Sindoor has completed its mission only partially. But cinders remain. Who knows, it might be ignited if terrorism does not stop and PoK not returned to India as Modi has reiterated.” I have read in newspapers, heard on TV channels…
A Re-Look at Our Green Heritage
May 18, 2025By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD The trees in and around our city have been in the news, sadly for some very wrong and unhappy reasons, over the past one month. The tragic and very avoidable loss of some of them, has thankfully galvanised a few concerned Mysureans into thinking of not only just protecting…
Boycott on spot ?
May 17, 2025The 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…
Musings on mystery of Pahalgam
May 17, 2025Did 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…
Blitzkrieg: Now annex PoK as assured in the Preamble of our Constitution
May 13, 2025Last night at eight when our Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the Nation, our countrymen and women heard him with pride. Earlier, he had told the country and the world that he would hunt down the terrorists and their ‘backers’, who massacred 26 tourists in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, 2025. He said he would…
Mindless Mismanagement, Slightly Mitigated!
May 11, 2025By 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. These are the same authorities vested with the almost sacred responsibility of safeguarding our…
A China hand in Pahalgam attack
May 10, 2025Like every Indian, I was overcome with shock and anger after hearing about Pahalgam terror attack. As the emotional dust settled, a darker question emerged: Has Pakistan now become China’s lapdog? The style of the Pahalgam attack was notably different from earlier terror incidents. As in, it was grotesquely theatrical and seemingly designed to provoke…
Tall Trees, in Tall Trouble
May 4, 2025By Dr. K. Javeed Nayeem, MD A full two weeks have passed, after forty majestic copper-pod trees (Peltophorum pterocarpum) along the two sides of the Hyder Ali Road in our city, were chopped down in a very swift and clandestine operation, that was cunningly planned and quickly executed, under the cover of darkness. It was…
Karnataka is losing… … One factory at a time
May 3, 2025Another 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…
Author who saw Pakistan’s inexorable descent into fear and nihilism!
May 3, 2025Shakespeare 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…
