Vikas Dubey, the “Kanpur wala” gangster, who killed eight Policemen during a raid and escaped, was caught on a Thursday and shot dead on a Friday. Justice was served ‘Dabangg’ style. Has reel Police become real Police now? “Encounters” or “extra judicial killings” which were widely practiced by the Punjab Police against violent supporters of…
As the lockdown continues in its various forms and formats, and as COVID-19 changes its strains so also its symptoms, it’s turning people into hypochondriacs — worried about every itch, snitch and sneeze. Initially, we were told to look out for chronic dry cough, followed by fever and then difficulty in breathing — very obvious…
In a recent interview on a TV channel Dr. Subramanian Swamy, economist and BJP Member of Parliament, reiterated his opinion that this Government had no economic policy, does not know what it is up against and warned that the Indian economy would crash like 1930’s United States if cash is not put in the hands…
Life has become austere, especially weddings. COVID-19 has taken us back to 1960s India when Lal Bahadur Shastri chose to impose rationing and limiting guests at events.

Because nearly half of all human pharmaceuticals are originally derived from natural sources and we humans by systematically destroying more and more species of plants and animals are also destroying nature’s medicine cabinet. Since the past few weeks, a…
Lights out, lamps on… and the plan? We have another request from our Prime Minister. First we clapped for 5 minutes at 5 o’ clock, next we have to light lamps for 9 minutes at 9 o’ clock. What next? May be, chant for 10 minutes at 10 o’ clock… for positive energy? Indeed, collective…
