You the $hit's about to hit the fan when even Times Now is reporting this although Navika still can't stop herself calling Gujarat "a model state"

Hogwash. India's founding fathers were correct in adapting the colonial platform to India. It gave a continuity to the Indian State as the direct and sole descendent of British India. A lot of reforms were incorporated not least being the end of Zamindari. Also, rearranging states on linguistic...

It's a complete disaster. Modi, Yogi, Shah and Co. are now focussed on nothing more than appearances. https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/lucknows-cover-up-move-after-dramatic-videos-of-crematorium-amid-covid-2414380...

The coffee culture in India has really taken off. If any of you in India are a member of CRED and want to redeem your points in the beverage section - just check out the offering. Just before lockdown I attended a screen festival at a hotel and a kiosk was set up by this brand called Blue...

I think the larger point here is that everyone at some point in history would come up with some historical wrong their ancestors suffered. To quote Lincoln, "Nearly all men can stand adversity. If you want to test a man's character give him power." Simply because those in power can make...

I have nothing against him. I assume @crixus means well. As far as the discourse is civil, a little disagreement is par for course.

A Helm Watch - built like a little tank. ISO certified for diving - with each watch individually submerged and tested for water resistance at 1.25x the advertised depth. Worn yesterday on a NATO strap.

Gudi Padwa celebrated on Siachen

Yes, I am sure the Judge is aware of - Places of Worship Act 1991 which explicitly prohibits any alteration to any religious structure which existed on 15th August 1947 in India. It also specifically excludes the Ram Janmabhoomi Babri Mosque land. It's always good to know the law. And let's...

It's just juvenile. China is not capable enough to mount an actual invasion.

What do the Chinese hope to achieve?

So you don't know about the Constitution you were so confident about? Lol, sure - riots can be controlled by a competent police force. Backward Haryana is a shining example of how a competent Police Force operates - next time when someone tries to storm the US Capitol, USA should request...

His military bearing is so decidedly WW2 and British.

Before the Brits came, India was a patchwork of Kingdoms. It would likely continued to be ruled by a series of these monarchs. They lorded over rest of present day India, Pak and Bangladesh for 4000 years so yes, that would probably continue. Pakistan was carved out of British India as a...

Awww. @Zapper can share there truth as far as it ensures that in protest some Haryanvis don't stone school buses filled with kids while the Harayana cops watch. Apparently sitting on the sidelines and watching has a long history there. Tsk Tsk.

I didn't bring up law and order in states. You opened that bottle and if you can't handle facts, you shouldn't have brought it up. Funnily you skipped the Gujarat riots including the burning of the train filled with Kar sevaks because it did not suit your narrative. So if you are prepared to...

Lol. Avoided riots? Wasn't Haryana the place where Haryanvis were throwing stones at a school bus filled with children to protest against some movie? I was merely referring to economic backwardness - but you are right in pointing out its social backwardness too. Also, delighted to know you...

No one is asking you to forgive or forget. As far as historical wrongs are acknowledged, recorded and taught in schools and colleges, it should be enough. Yes, Haryana is a backward state. If it is resting on laurels from 1761, it just goes to show that. Still waiting for the relevant...

Maybe Haryana didn't have anything in the first place. Next you will ask me why were there no riots in the Andamans. What happens in such backward regions seldom makes headlines. Let me know the relevant section of the Indian Constitution since you seem so well versed in it.

End to gaining political capital out of historical injustices. The mosque breaking in Ayodhya lead to riots in Bombay, bomb blasts in Bombay, loss of life and property across India - if I remember right in retaliation Muslims broke temples in Pakistan and Bangladesh. The Godhra train burning of...
