Hats off to Hon HM @AmitShah First destroyed naxal corridor. Diluted left to almost nothing. Kerala is the last standing state. Gave Assam a lease of life. Take a bow @himantabiswa Dravidian politics next target. The state needs to be freed from this toxic ideology before the roots return. It will be painful but the purge has begun. The sweetest victory - WB. The state which was once the country’s glory ruined by left and incumbent. Security nightmare. National security problem on account of border state, eastern flank. Critical after the fall of Bangladesh post CIA coup. The victory belongs to the Union of India. The loss is CIA’s. Hopefully next is Punjab. Critical as Pakistan has gained a lifeline till Trump administration exists.






Why is India all smiles with this unfair trade deal? I just don’t get it.







stating that british rule harmed isn't wishful thinking. entire books can be written about the cold logic of empire affected during the Raj and about some of the good things too. but it is not some all-encompassing explanation for indian poverty, nor even the famines suffered during the Raj. 'extreme poverty' is a modern statistical construct that is repeatedly rebased: when you extend it backwards in time, most people on earth in the early 1900s were in Malthusian extreme poverty. you must note that the population of india roughly doubled over the course of the british raj from 213mm (1820) to 452m (1950). this is a actually a much higher population growth rate compared to that of china over the same time period. China has a similar crop mix. it is true that famines generally ended after Indian independence. It is also true that due to the green revolution, far more calories per hectare are possible after the 1950s, so it is hard to compare the effectiveness of rule. the Mughals 'reinvested in india' by building taj mahal and enriching the family and so on, they were not exactly building public works projects

Kamlesh Kumari Yadav, CRPF constable, from Kannauj dt, joined in 1994. On this date in 2001, she was on duty at Parliament when she noticed a suspicious looking white Ambassador enter the campus. Armed with only a walkie talkie she rushed around alerting all security personell. Giving them enough time to intercept the car, as the LET, JEM Jihadis fired, she took 11 bullets becoming first casualty in the attack. Her quick thinking ensured the Jihadis didn't enter Parliament and create mayhem which was their original plan. Her sacrifice is on par with Tukaram Omble during 26/11. Only the second lady to be awarded Ashoka Chakra, after Neerja Bhanot. #naman
