Kashmir

"Pakistan does not consider Kashmir to be a geographical or border dispute but a dispute due to the unfinished business of Partition of the subcontinent in 1947," Mr Sharif writes in his letter to Ms Andrabi, who heads the outfit Dukhtaran-e-Millat.

Saadat Hasan Manto had posed the existential dilemma of a newly minted Pakistani soldier, in 1947 :
"Were Pakistanis fighting for Kashmir or for Kashmiri Muslims?" And Rub Nawaz wonders "If the latter, why not fight for the Muslims of Hyderabad and Junagarh?" And "if this was purely a war for Islam, why weren't other Muslim countries fighting alongside of them?"    These matters, he concludes were far too subtle for the intelligence of an ordinary soldier.  

Anupam Kher's March for India

I am aghast at the slogans chanted during the March. “…….deserved to be thrown across Wagah border” “Dhongi sahityakaron ko, jute maro saalo ko”.

What did Anupam Kher expect for fronting the likes of YOGI Adityanath JI and his ilk? Doesn’t that prove the case of Award Returnees?

The labelling of this debate as ‘tolerance’ or ‘intolerance’ has obfuscated the “intimidation” by the fringes of Sangh Parivar’, that is being protested against.

Bhairavi singh being called names….Just imagine the fright the poor girl must have experienced.

Anupam Kher extended an apology to Bhairvi Singh; there is some decency left in his otherwise probably uxorious behavior over the last few weeks.

And our dear PM has also revealed his hand by receiving the leaders of this March. “Indian culture goes beyond tolerance, and talks of acceptance”, the PMO said. Do they mean Indian Culture enjoins us to accept whatever the ruling dispensation dishes out?

The PM is an excellent CEO and the Indian economy sorely needs his touch and shepherding. It will be a shame if the Indian masses miss out on a chance to earn square meals with dignity, due to his not so tacit (any more) cultural ethical and moral disabilities.

It appears that the PM wishes to make the “body Indian” strong and prosperous but lobotomized and an arm amputated.

Bihar has given him its verdict.
