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…
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…

Let me also remember K. Srikantiah, lest we forget a GREAT Music Patron The last time I remembered Lord Shri Ram was when I went to Ayodhya in September, 2024 to see the newly-built Ram Temple in the place where earlier Mughal invader Babur had built the Babri Masjid.
