Perhaps the BBC can commission a documentary: “Soho: The India We Imagined.” The BBC usually needs a visa, a fixer and a 7,000-kilometre flight to discover a dirty lane in India. For this story, it merely needed to take the tube to Soho. But naturally, there will be no breathless documentary on the “decline of Britain.” No western media analysis of the cultural consequences of uncontrolled immigration. No sombre BBC voiceover asking how one of the world’s richest countries allowed its capital to look like this. Apparently, litter in India is civilisation. Litter in London is merely an unfortunate camera angle. For decades, Britain imported people faster than it could integrate them, abandoned assimilation in favour of multicultural appeasement, and treated every demand for controlled immigration as racism. Border conversations became embarrassing. Integration became optional. Enforcing civic norms became “intolerant.” Ordinary Britons were instructed to remain silent and are often arrested if they talk while the character of their neighbourhoods changed around them. Britain once lectured India about poverty, cleanliness, communalism and governance. Its media still rush to remote Indian villages searching for images that confirm their prejudices. Now the decay is visible outside their own studios.

Congress recognised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s political potential before much of India did. That is precisely why it tried so desperately to destroy him after 2002. I saw something different: a man who was neither intimidated nor consumed by the campaign against him. And for Amit Shah, the entire campaign against him was fabricated - it was definitely a persecution. Spoke to Smita Prakash on her podcast about Narendra Modi and Amit Shah

I lost friends in 26/11. I refused to defend the 26/11 terrorist because the right to a fair trial does not compel every lawyer to accept every brief. Ajmal Kasab was entitled to a lawyer. He was not entitled to me. The law had to provide him counsel. My conscience did not allow me to become one. I spoke to Smita Prakash on the ANI Podcast ANI

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?

It feels like someone has reopened the 2020 Delhi Riots playbook. Police cars being attacked and vandalised, even police men and women being pelted with stones and almost lynched. Start with a street-corner protest. Add students. Add “democracy is dying.” Add foreign media. Add NGO outrage. Add opposition amplification. Add street confrontation. Then wait for one spark, one viral video, one death, one police action, one headline abroad. That is how a so called 'protest' is converted into a destabilisation project. And this reeks of the deep state playbook. The old establishment understands one thing very clearly: if it cannot defeat Prime Minster Narendra Modi through elections, it must make India appear ungovernable between elections. The moment a protest over exams becomes a march on Parliament, the moment the slogans move from reform to regime-change vocabulary, the moment familiar activists, Left networks, foreign media ecosystems and opposition parties begin speaking from the same script, India has every reason to ask: Who is coordinating this escalation? Why does every protest in Delhi follow the same choreography? Why is the elected government always framed not as accountable, but illegitimate? Why does every local grievance suddenly become an international campaign against Indian democracy? We saw this during the CAA riots. We saw this during the farm agitation. We saw toolkits, foreign amplification, coordinated narratives, selective outrage and attempts to turn India’s capital into a permanent theatre of instability. Now the same template appears to be back. Because Delhi Riots of 2020 was not an accident, the court's recent ruling last week made it clear. And someone clearly wants a sequel.

History may debate L. K. Advani’s political decisions but his integrity is beyond debate. Few politicians in independent India have displayed greater rectitude than him. He awakened Hindu political consciousness and built the road on which the BJP eventually travelled to power. A clip from my podcast with Smita Prakash ANI

4 videos. One unmistakable story. This isn't a student protest. So what exactly are we looking at? One video has people talking about assassinating the Prime Minister. Another shows RAF personnel being attacked. Another captures police officers describing how they were assaulted while protecting Parliament. The result: 118 police personnel injured, scores of protesters injured, public property vandalised, government vehicles attacked and multiple FIRs registered. So here's the question. Why did all of this explode only after Parliament convened? For nearly three weeks, the agitation never reached this stage. Then Parliament opened. Political crowds appeared. The violence escalated. Coincidence? Or is there a far bigger objective? My reading is that this is not about examinations anymore. It is about disrupting Parliament itself. The Opposition knows it does not have the numbers to stop the government's legislative agenda inside the House. Whether it is the proposed FCRA amendments, delimitation or other politically contentious legislation, the arithmetic in Parliament is against them. So shift the battle outside Parliament. Create chaos. Manufacture international headlines about "democracy under threat." That is the heinous conspiracy I believe these four videos expose. The students are not the masterminds. They are the shields. Behind them stands the familiar ecosystem: radical Left networks, Urban Naxal elements, political operators, activist NGOs, foreign-funded influence networks, professional agitators and the same ecosystem that appears every time India is on the verge of taking difficult political decisions. The policemen bleed. The students are arrested. Public property is destroyed. The organisers disappear. The foot soldiers are visible. The conspiracy is not. The law must identify, investigate and prosecute those who planned, financed, coordinated and incited this organised assault on Parliament and democracy itself.

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.

Article 370 and Ram Mandir were not merely political decisions. They were acts of national restoration. One completed India’s constitutional integration. The other corrected a civilisational injustice. Together, they restored a sense of pride that had been denied for generations. From my podcast with Smita Prakash at ANI

Watch what they did to ACP Vivek Bhagat. Then ask yourself: is this a student protest - or organised anarchy wearing the mask of one? The videos are traumatic. A senior police officer, who has been instrumental in arresting terrorists, is brutally assaulted while trying to restore law and order. But we are still expected to believe this is simply a spontaneous student movement. It isn't. Someone else is driving this. The foot soldiers are on the streets. The masterminds are not. Because every anarchist movement survives on an ecosystem far larger than the mob itself - political handlers, ideological networks, professional agitators and, where the evidence leads, those providing money, logistics and narrative support. The world has seen this playbook before.

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.

No society should celebrate a man being driven to burn himself alive. But moral clarity demands that we distinguish between self-immolation for national freedom vs jihadist terrorism. Tibetan activist Lobga Rangzen set himself on fire outside the UN headquarters in New York on July 2. But he directed violence against himself because every peaceful avenue for speaking about China’s occupation and cultural erasure of Tibet had seemingly failed him. A jihadist terrorist directs violence against innocent strangers - children, commuters, worshippers and families. He does not die demanding liberty for his people; he murders others to impose a theocratic order upon them. One is the desperate sacrifice of a nationalist trying to awaken the world’s conscience. The other is cowardice disguised as martyrdom: the slaughter of defenceless people marketed as faith, and frequently accompanied by dreams of subjugating or exterminating those branded “kafirs.” We must never romanticise self-immolation. But neither should we erase the profound moral difference between sacrificing oneself for freedom and sacrificing innocent people for religious supremacy. Lobga Rangzen’s death should shame the United Nations and every government that looks away while China attempts to erase Tibet.

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.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi did more than to expose the vanity of Rahul Gandhi at the Republic Summit 2026. He exposed the central fraud of Rahul Gandhi’s politics: 👉Memory must begin only after 2014. 👉Accountability must apply only to Modi. 👉Institutions are legitimate only under Congress party. 👉Elections are democratic only when Congress wins. 👉And the Constitution is sacred only when it can be weaponised against the BJP. Rahul offers theatrical props, recycled allegations and the confidence of a man permanently protected from the consequences of his own incompetence. The greatest irony is that even Congress now demands that Modi fix everything. Every complaint ends with “Modi must act”, because somewhere beneath all the abuse lies an involuntary confession: they know who possesses the ability to deliver. Rahul Gandhi may keep waving the Constitution. But Narendra Modi has repeatedly forced him to confront something far more uncomfortable: The Indian voter can distinguish between carrying a book and carrying the responsibility of a nation. There is another irony Rahul Gandhi may want to consider. Britain, the former colonial ruler of India whose political and intellectual approval Rahul's ecosystem still appears to crave, has changed 6 Prime Ministers over the last 7 years. India has instead produced political continuity, democratic stability and a leader whose mandate has endured through relentless scrutiny. History has turned. And Narendra Modi carries the confidence of a civilisation that no longer looks to London or anywhere - or to the Gandhi family - for permission to lead. Republic

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)
