Abhijit Sarkar’s murder cannot be buried. Abhijit Sarkar was not just killed. He was hunted. He was chased. He was murdered in front of his mother. And they even killed his dogs and puppies. And sexually assaulted his old mother. Swapan Samaddar, the TMC councillor and one of the prime accused in the 2021 killing of Abhijit, has finally been arrested in West Bengal. And yet, for years, his brother Biswajit fought relentlessly while an entire political ecosystem tried to bury the truth under power, fear and silence. We petitioned the Supreme Court where we have names every accoused. This arrest is not closure. It is the beginning. Bengal does not need selective memory. There must be justice for: Every murder. Every rape allegation. Every displaced family. Every burnt home. Every silenced witness. Every cadre-protected accused. Abhijit Sarkar’s last words in this video must haunt Bengal’s conscience. Because his case was not an exception. It is a window into what political terror looked like under the Trinamool Congress when the state government of Mamata Banerjee looked away.

This witty comment in a speech recently by honourable Justice Vikram Nath makes one wonder about the USP of Delhi’s HYATT HOTEL. While the owners of the HYATT HOTEL - an entity know as Asian Hotels (North) Pvt Ltd - is also in the news for the it’s ability to obtain a sweetheart one-time settlement (OTS) from two public sector banks for its loans gone sour. The Supreme Court has already questioned: 'Why You Didn't Go For Auction When NCR Property Prices Rising?' But what is very interesting is the identity of HYATT / ASIAN HOTELS true owners is shrouded in mystery. Credible rumours suggest that he is a foreign passport holder who make secret visits to India and slips in and out of India very often with impunity. The big questions are: ❓Who owns the HYATT HOTEL in DELHI? ❓What happens at the HYATT HOTEL in DELHI?

The Supreme Court has ripped the mask off Mamata Banerjee’s Bengal: this is no democracy, this is political thuggery with state protection. Seven judicial officers were gheraoed for hours in Malda during voter-roll revision work; the officers’ vehicles were attacked with stone-pelting and sticks. The Supreme Court has now called it what it is: a “brazen attempt” to browbeat judges, a “calculated” and “well-planned” move to demoralise them, and proof of the “complete failure” of Bengal’s civil and police administration. CJI Surya Kant’s remark cut to the bone: “In your state, each one of you speaks political language… We have never seen such a polarised state.” That is not just a judicial rebuke. It is an X-ray of Mamata Banerjee’s Bengal, where everything is politicised, institutions are pressured, and even judges cannot do election-related duty without the street being weaponised against them. The Supreme Court has not treated this as some random local flare-up either. It has ordered central-force protection for judicial officers, directed the Election Commission to get the incident probed by an independent agency such as the CBI or NIA with a preliminary report directly to the Court, sought explanations from top state officials, and tightened access at hearing sites so mobs cannot overwhelm the process again. Why is all this happening in Bengal? Because TMC knows 2026 is not unfolding on the old script. Once a ruling party starts sensing slippage, voter-list scrutiny becomes dangerous to its ecosystem, officials become targets, and street intimidation becomes a substitute for political confidence. This is not governance. This is pre-election desperation. That is why the Supreme Court’s words matter so much. The Court has effectively said this was not a spontaneous outburst but a calculated assault on the electoral process and on judicial authority itself. This is the real state of Mamata’s West Bengal: when defeat looms, law and order becomes negotiable, institutions are left exposed, and the street is used as political muscle. The Supreme Court has now seen through it. The country should too. And of course, the state of West Bengal.

Dear Mr Lutnick, India isn’t a quota filler between Indonesia and Vietnam; it’s a sovereign economy that knows its leverage and uses it calmly. Prime Minister Modi has reset in India’s foreign policy spine, moved India from eager suitor to equal partner. When deals happen, they’ll be durable. When they don’t, India moves on - unafraid to say no.

Malda was not random. NIA has been given the investigation. Mofakkarul Islam, accused mastermind of Malda violence is a TMC leader, who has been arrested. He is seen with TMC leader Kalyan Banerjee in several pictures. My reading: when Bengal’s ruling machine panics over voter scrutiny, Malda is where the nerves show first. It is a border district with a 165.5 km frontier with Bangladesh and a key junction in North Bengal’s political geography. That geography matters. Because in a place like Malda, demography, documentation, migration anxieties, and electoral arithmetic are never separate conversations. They collapse into one political reality. District-level population data shows Malda’s religious profile and demography has shifted over time, making it one of Bengal’s most politically sensitive districts. Demographic data alone is enough. But in a border district long associated with infiltration debates, fake-currency routes, smuggling corridors, and political patronage, nobody can honestly pretend these issues are disconnected from voter-roll politics. Then comes Kaliachak. For years, Kaliachak and the wider Malda belt have repeatedly surfaced in reporting around cross-border criminality, counterfeit currency, and mob volatility. This is not some politically neutral patch of land. It is one of the most combustible belts in Bengal. So when seven judicial officers were gheraoed there for hours during voter-list adjudication, this did not look to me like a spontaneous local protest. It looked like a political stress reaction. But the issue is no longer merely what happened in Malda. The real question is: who benefits when voter scrutiny in a district like Malda is met with siege tactics, blocked highways, and intimidation of officers? My answer is blunt. Malda is politically precious. Historically it was a Congress bastion. Over time, as Congress weakened, Trinamool moved aggressively into this minority-heavy, border-sensitive belt because districts like Malda and Murshidabad became central to its political insulation. That is why Malda is not just another district for TMC. It is a bastion. And bastions are defended by every possible means once panic sets in. Now add the most recent development. Police have arrested Mofakkarul Islam, described in reporting as the alleged mastermind of the Malda gherao, from Bagdogra Airport while he was allegedly trying to leave for Bengaluru. Another accused was arrested with him. That matters. Because the moment the alleged main conspirator begins to look less like an outraged citizen and more like an operator trying to slip away, the moral theatre around “public anger” starts collapsing. Then the whole episode begins to look exactly like what many suspected from the start: organised pressure, political shielding, and then attempted escape once the heat came home asking difficult questions. To my mind, that is the real significance of Malda. This is where border anxiety, demographic change, identity mobilisation, electoral dependence, and administrative murk all collide. And that is precisely why TMC cannot afford to lose control of the district’s political arithmetic. Because once a serious clean-up begins in a place like Malda, the fight is no longer over names on paper. It becomes a fight over the ecosystem that benefited from blurred lines for years. The CPM played versions of this game. TMC perfected it. And now the Supreme Court has exposed what happens when that ecosystem feels threatened: highways are blocked, judges are surrounded, the state looks away, and grievance is weaponised into muscle. So no, Malda was not random. Malda was the point. Because in Bengal, when power feels threatened, it does not defend the voter list. It defends the vote-bank architecture of Trinamool Congress and Mamata Banerjee behind it.

Woke up to these beautiful videos of Vande Bharat gliding through snow - so pristine it could pass for Switzerland. And then it hits you: this is Jammu & Kashmir, India. Beyond the aesthetics, it fills you with quiet pride. How far we’ve come as a nation. Vande Bharat isn’t just a train; it’s a statement of design, speed, comfort and confidence. 📹 via Ashwini Vaishnaw & Sajjad Shaheen

Oh dear! Someone should urgently inform the IMF that India is a “dead economy.” Clearly, they missed the memo from Rahul Gandhi. Because the IMF, in its quaint little habit of using numbers, now calls India a key growth engine of the global economy, notes stronger-than-expected numbers. Dead economies don’t beat forecasts, don’t drive global growth, and don’t force international institutions to revise projections upward. The inconvenient truth is this: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s yeoman’s service to the nation - through structural reforms, infrastructure creation, fiscal discipline, and confidence in enterprise - has built an economy that compounds quietly and delivers consistently. Growth like this doesn’t happen by accident; it’s engineered with clear intent. So here’s the obituary that never was: the economy is very much alive, accelerating, and that India is a "key growth engine for the world". What’s truly expired is the narrative that keeps predicting India’s collapse and gets buried by facts every single time. Here's International Monetary Fund (IMF) spokesperson, Julie Kozack 👇

Congress spindoctor-in-chief Jairam Ramesh is a conspicuous malcontent whenever there is a significant achievement during PM Modi’s tenure. Rattled and envious by the goodwill generated in favour of the PM by Chandrayaan 3’s spectacular success in its lunar mission, he has pettily retweeted an ancient clip of a speech by Nehru (couldn’t find evidence of any contribution by any other member of the dynasty and had to delve deep into history; other Congress PMs do not count) at the inauguration of TIFR. Even as regards Nehru, the facts are what the attached clip discloses and not the undeserved credit given to Nehru by Jairam Goebbels. #CHANDRAYAAN3 DRISHTIKONE दृष्टिकोण (Perspectives)

Bangladesh deserves serious statecraft. Instead, it has got a headline-chasing interim figure who treats India as a prop. The Soros-lackey chameleon called Md Yunus. Muhammad Yunus Even in his last speech as Chief Adviser of the Government of Bangladesh, another gratuitous sermon on India, the headline-chasing head sprinkled his televised address with the familiar “sovereignty/dignity” theatrics and a sly reference to India’s North East and Seven Sisters of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura - without calling them part of India. Relevance, for him, must be manufactured abroad and when you can’t govern, you grandstand. When you can’t stabilise your own country, you try to manufacture an external villain - preferably the neighbour that actually functions. Let’s get the hierarchy straight. Yunus wasn’t elected. He didn’t build legitimacy through the ballot. He instigated a volatile interim perch and has since presided over a Bangladesh that looks increasingly unmoored. Yet the man speaks as if he is Bangladesh’s permanent conscience. The irony is almost comic. All he will be remembered for is a hubris that is beyond redemption whose ideological shape-shifting is the tell. One day he behaves like a global icon; the next he is the local strongman-in-waiting, feeding the same old insinuations for applause. That is what happens when your politics is held together by networks and patronage, not mandate and performance.

Unknown gunmen. Lest we forget them, because they are wrecking havoc in Pakistan. And even international media now seem to have realised that breaking the backbone of Pakistani and ISI-funded terrorists will not always look like a war. Sometimes it looks like silence. From Lahore to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, reports of senior militants being eliminated in precise, professional hits inside Pakistan raise one uncomfortable question: who is dismantling the terror machinery that Pakistan protected for decades? No loud claim. No chest-thumping. Just fear spreading inside the very networks that once exported fear across borders. Pakistan built an entire strategic doctrine around using terrorists as assets. It feeds them, trains them, shelters them and then pretends to be a victim when the same ecosystem turned inward. Now the hunters are being hunted. The inevitable blowback of raising snakes in your backyard, the message is clear: terror factories are no longer safe even on Pakistani soil. The architecture of jihad that Islamabad once used as leverage is beginning to look like a liability. Pakistan wanted strategic depth. It may now be discovering strategic dread. 🤫

Rahul Gandhi is either naive, intellectually challenged or politically dishonest. The English definition of the word “secular” is “not connected with religious or spiritual matters”. Therefore, any party which defines itself in terms of a religion or a religious community cannot be secular but proclaims itself as communal or sectarian. A party styling itself as the Indian Union Muslim League or the All India Muslim League is explicitly non-secular. If it’s manifesto proclaims sectarian goals this only corroborates it’s avowed sectarianism.

This is the falling US regime's last act of favour to its surrogates in #India. #RahulGandhi is just a desperate LoP blindly supporting foreign narratives, ignoring India’s interests. The indictment against #Adani is thin on evidence & details. It is not a judicial order but a hatchet job - bribes alleged, but no clarity on the officials or the quantum involved. This reeks of a strategic attack on India’s growth via its industrial giants. Meanwhile, geopolitics play out - #Bangladesh energy tussles, unpaid bills & American firms eyeing dominance. Add to this, a global #Soros backed ecosystem pushing borderless societies & undermining sovereign policies. This isn’t just about Adani - it’s a larger design targeting India’s strategic projects. Let’s expose this #cabal and safeguard India’s sovereignty.

Should Congress now dump Jairam Ramesh? Because if Mani Shankar Aiyar’s “chaiwala” sneer in 2014 became a symbol of Congress elitism, this 2012 remark deserves to stand right beside it as another moment of naked contempt. But it's classic Jairam Ramesh and Congress arrogance though: take a cheap swipe at Hindu faith, act intellectually superior, and pass off contempt as policy. Jairam thought he was sounding modern. What he really sounded like was exactly what Congress has long been: elitist, condescending, and deeply comfortable humiliating the beliefs of the majority. That comment was not about toilets or temples. It was about contempt. And contempt has always been the real Congress language toward Hindu civilisation.
