This criminalisation of the Indian public officialdom is the most concerning development of the last 10 years. 

It requires extraordinary moral blindness to pursue scholarly interests undisturbed while fellow citizens face systematic violence and discrimination.

Gandhi believes in uniting Indians of all faiths. What dialogue then could there be between him and the RSS?

Yes. If injustice is being done to you and you remain silent, waiting for others to stand with you, then you are abdicating your civic duty.

Justice Chandrachud should know that the judiciary as an institution is much older than him and will outlast people like him.

Today, there seems to be a huge confusion in the Hindu mind and heart about its lineage. The RSS alone benefits from this.

Just as Golwalkar's definition of Hindu and India is false, similarly the story of his life that Golwalkar got propagated is also mixed with a lot of lies.

Gandhi's statement needs to be heard as an expression of the ideological resolve which he wants his own party to understand and adopt.

This violence has a direct relationship with the hatred that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP incited against Muslims during the election campaign.

Sitamarhi MP Devesh Chandra Thakur and Andaman and Nicobar Islands MP Bishnu Pada Ray have issued threats to those they think did not vote for them in the recently concluded general elections.
