The nation is shocked enough to talk about the Manipur violence after the video of a mob parading two naked women went viral. But what should shock us, even more is the lack of Police action and the PM’s silence for all this time. The violence in Manipur erupted after a rally by the All-Tribal…
The recent political machinations in Maharashtra brought up an interesting issue — age. Is age just a number in politics? Yes. But one should know when to retire and how to retire.

It was reported yesterday that Karnataka Dy.CM and a team of senior officials would visit Singapore to get a first-hand experience of tunnel roads so they can build similar underground roads to decongest Bengaluru.
