This is absolutely stunning. 'Pramana', an open, systematic library of the primary sources of the Indian subcontinent — beginning with the literature of the pre-Islamic period — in their original languages, with their recensions, commentaries and translations linked verse by verse.

He was the same person whitewashing the death threats against Nupur Sharma after she called out religious misogyny, all by invoking his self-manufactured “punching up, punching down” doctrine. He’ll happily rationalise religious fanaticism so long as it comes from the very people he has spent years writing eulogies for. Free speech becomes sacred only when his side holds the microphone.
I’d have believed a word he said if he had defended free speech for everyone, not just those whose politics he shares. You’re no scholar. You’re an ideologue masquerading as one. And once Chandrachud demitted office, so too did your influence. Quite happy that it happened.
Now I’m just waiting for the Sabarimala judgment to expose what you’ve dressed up as constitutional scholarship for the academic bigotry it really is when it comes to genuine religious belief. Stay hydrated, stock up on your medicines, and prepare for a very long sulk because a nine-judge Bench is not something you’ll be able to wish away.
Apropos of nothing, in 2015, the Kenyan HC held that “breach of peace bonds” were a colonial relic, used by the Brits to suppress dissenting voices, and struck them down as inconsistent with a constitutional democracy.

What's Dalali Journalism?
Sonia Gandhi didn't visit Dussehra Mela this year.
So @news24tvchannel ran 2 year old video of Sonia Gandhi in Dussehra Mela as today's video.
Ye kya hai @anurradhaprasad @manakgupta @rajeevranjanMKH?

Babri Masjid was 450+ years old when it was demolished. 125 years is like a child in front of it.

“India’s most divisive issue”? It would seem for @MujMash opposing a spiteful hatefilled Islamist’s ‘Islamic Manifesto’ amounts to pushing the divisive envelope.
As for pseudonyms, writers are terrified about revealing their identity when opposing the root cause of what you call ‘divisive issue’.

1) Not India’s ‘most divisive issue’ by any stretch of imagination. But South Asia Bureau chief of NYT is free to take flights of fancy. It costs nothing.
2) Elite and Privileged South Asia Bureau Chief of NYT may not have heard of ‘blasphemy’ killings. The author is only trying to have his head on his shoulders. Strange obsession liberal elites would say, but ordinary folks like to live.

Pseudonyms are used in publications across the world in exceptional cases when sensitive issues are tackled, including the New York Times when a senior Trump official wrote anonymously. There are many reasons why the name of the author is kept hidden, most importantly personal safety.

He’s the south asia bureau chief of @nytimes who wants @IbnKhaldunIndic’s identity to unleash Sar tan se juda gangs on him/her.
Instead of calling out Islamist radicalisation, these buffoons are busy whitewashing it.
Tells you the reporting standards of NYT.

This is the “South Asia Bureau Chief” of @nytimes essentially perpetuating a dog-whistle against another Moslem columnist who has expressed a contrary opinion on a topic. The constant taunts about the pseudonym essentially carry a threat - if we ever learn your real identity, you cannot hide. This person knows exactly what he’s doing. And the @nytimes has no issues with it. It has zero credibility left on covering the Indian Subcontinent 🤷🏻♂️

Uploading the full 40 minute Sharjeel speech, since many might not have seen it.
Please watch and understand the mindset.
Him and his ilk are Pakistanis living in India.
Many young muslims from JNU/AMU/JMI espouse the same ideology.
Watch.
1/5 Sharjeel Imam has given an interview detailing his Islamist manifesto. Surprisingly, no storm has been kicked up over pronouncements that are so unapologetically anti-liberal, anti-secular, anti-democracy, anti-Constitution—in a word, anti-national.
2/5 He openly calls the Constitution fascist, labels secularism a trap, and denounces democracy as a contrivance to deny Muslims their political rights.
3/5 The piece is a litany of indictments against the liberal class. Imam rejects any difference between liberals and Hindutvadis. In his essentialist worldview, all Hindus are the same, unanimous in denying Muslims political power they claim as a divine right.
4/5 Inadvertently, Sharjeel has recognised something that liberals have been fighting shy of acknowledging: that Hindutva’s idea of India is anchored in the same “overarching nationalist framework”— that Muslims are Indians above all else.
5/5 For more, read this Opinion article by Ibn Khaldun Bharati, who looks at Islam from an Indian perspective:
Sharjeel Imam’s Islamist manifesto will be forgotten. The silence of liberals will not

Leave aside the lack of felicity with the English language, let me just point out the conceptual fallacies here. “Repugnant” is a personal concept, unlike “secularism” which is a state concept. Being “discussed” in the constituent assembly doesn’t immunise an idea from personal repugnance or unconstitutionality.

There is a cost of saying no to USA
Modi is getting punished for -
1) Buying record Oil from Russia
2) Not giving preferential treatment to Musk
3) Not rolling out the red carpet for Trump's cronies who want to make quick money in India
Five leaders said no to Washington. Months later, their streets are on fire.
Italy refused the US a base in Sicily. Spain shut its airspace. France and Germany turned down Trump’s Board of Peace. India refused to bend on tariffs.
Now Milan and Bologna are clashing with police, 550,000 people are marching across France, Madrid is flooded with housing protests, Berlin is chanting “Merz must go,” and Delhi’s markets are shut.
Each country has its own reasons on the ground: rising prices, housing, schools, elections. But the timing is hard to ignore.
Coincidence, or a pattern? You decide.

Media org of a country which has an absolute monarchy reporting on rebels in a democracy. Cute. Imagine now Indian media employing Qataris to shoot sting ops in Qatar. First won’t get any and then govt of India will say don’t spoil bilateral ties.
India’s student protesters are finding ways to outsmart police and keep mobilizing against alleged voter theft.
@shivan__sarna went behind the scenes of the movement that's keeping the Indian state on its toes.

One can't choose which caste, religion, or country they are born into. But one surely does choose if they decide to become a parasitic social studies type cry baby. You folks don't generate a single rupees worth of economic output, yet guzzle taxpayer rupees like it's your birthright. Realize your place in this world as a mere artifact of tax payers benevolence.
