Mind-boggling clarity in understanding the nature of beast that is Congress & even greater understanding how to tackle them. Himanta is class apart

BREAKING: End of the DMK-Congress alliance is official, Congress extends formal support to Vijay’s TVK.

I have a hot take: Joseph Chandrasekar Vijay, our soon to be CM, is a practising Christian who also visits temples. In that sense, it is a positive sign that secular Tamil Nadu may elect its first-ever Christian Chief Minister. In the future, I would also like to see some Abdul Kadhar become Chief Minister—a Muslim CM—and similarly, a Dalit leader as well. Over the course of the next hundred-two hundred years, every section of Tamil society should be given a democratic opportunity to lead and represent the state. I do not subscribe to unfounded allegations such as “the Vatican is controlling him” or “he is receiving funds from Pakistan.” If there is even an iota of truth in such claims, it is the duty of the Central Government to investigate them thoroughly and bring the facts to light. As a practising Hindu who is often mocked by Dravidian ideologues on account of my Brahmin identity, my only expectation from any Chief Minister is that they do not interfere with my religious customs. I also expect not to be subjected to caste-based slurs such as “pāpan” or “pāpathi,” or any other derogatory terms targeting my identity and faith by their party's ecosystem. Equally, no individual or community should face interference in how they choose to worship their deities—this principle must extend beyond Hinduism to all religions. Every citizen should have the right to practise their faith freely, without fear or favour. Beyond these concerns, what matters most to me is governance: lifting people out of poverty, attracting investment, improving ease of doing business, strengthening law and order to reduce crime, women safety, implementing effective public welfare schemes, boosting GDP growth, creating employment opportunities for the youth, promoting sports—especially among underprivileged sections of society—and eradicating the menace of drugs and alcohol. These are the metrics that truly and tangibly impact the everyday lives of people.

Roman Catholics don't go around singing hallelujah and converting ppl unlike Protestant or Pentecostal or Jehovah Witnesses. Joseph Vijay being an RC will not indulge in this nonsense.

Indian IT services companies got a competition they were not expecting

My mom saw BJP’s wins in Assam, Bengal and across state after state and asked me: ‘do you think the rise of Hindutva will affect us as Muslims in the future?’ Also the Left has vanished from India’s map. Real question from a Muslim home what do you think, India?
