Important day for Kashmir’s democratic life. The weather is pleasant. Taking a stroll at Lal Chawk, trying to understand the pulse of the people of Kashmir.

Bharat Jodo Yatra reached Aligarh. So did The Wire’s team :)

दरभंगा के जाले में आलू-चौप, कचरी और मुड़ी और अख़बार पर मोदी जी ( के फ़ोटो ) की कृपा भी बनी हुई है… सब मंगल है !

Tried Palestine Cola today. Crazy how everyday products are becoming part of a bigger cultural shift. Also how pop culture is being reshaped by what’s happening in the world.

Dhurandhar isn’t just troubling. It is a toxic cocktail of majoritarianism, anti-Muslim bigotry and misogyny, made even more dangerous by the film’s glorified violence and gore. How did the censor board even clear it ?

DHURANDHAR 2- Full Review coming soon on my Youtube channel.

Where’s India’s Zohran ? Who’s India’s Zohran ?

Has Dhurandhar really liberated India from “Urdu-wood”? On Kunal Kamra’s show, I argued that it’s actually the opposite. If you take out Urdu and “Muslim” parts from Dhurandhar, there’s nothing left. You become the thing you hate the most.

On India Today I said it plainly: Dhurandhar is gore, misogyny, and manufactured anti-Muslim fear. Also Bollywood needs to stop exoticising Muslims. Leave them alone, they’re just trying to get through another day.

Islamabad Talks collapse: here’s what you’re NOT being told. In my interview, Hamid Mir categorically said: ‘Not Hormuz. Not nukes. Lebanon broke the deal.’ An insight no one else in mainstream media is reporting. Will Round 2 include Lebanon?

Who did it first ?

Individual Muslims, like people from any community, can commit crimes. But to claim there is some coordinated, ideological “Jihad” behind everyday interactions is absurd Sanghi propaganda . Repeat after me: Love Jihad is a lie. Land Jihad is a lie. Corporate Jihad is a lie.

ख़ून का रंग एक - न जुम्मन बचा न अशोक, ये बटनें का नहीं, एक दूसरे का हाथ थामे, साथ खड़े होने का समय है..

Bengal goes to polls. What I saw in Murshidabad shook me to the core. 91 lakh people may not be able to vote. The Election Commission of India has failed the Constitution and the poorest of Bengal. Helicopter media and jhaalmuri media will not show you this. A collective failure!

The teaser :

Two women. Two uniforms. Two faiths. One mission: Service to the nation. Col Sofiya Qureshi and Wg Cdr Vyomika Singh leading the Operation Sindoor briefing is more than strategy—it's a statement. India's strength lies in unity. #OperationSindoor #IndianArmedForces #UnityInDiversity

If Islam is not to be associated with terrorism, it’s important for peace-loving Muslims to clearly denounce it. Islam, Islamic faith, Islamism and political Islam are not the same and blurring these lines fuels misunderstanding and harm. Just as Hinduism is not Hindutva.

20+ years of journalism, after covering five General Elections and numerous Assembly polls,never witnessed anything like this.The Election Commission openly colluding with the BJP,stripping citizens of their right to vote and killing democracy in broad daylight. Watch my report-
