Nations sacrificing national symbols at the altar of votebank politics are not nations but fractured constituencies. 'Secularists' surrendered to Jinnah's veto abridging his great work National Song Vande Mataram and now neglect where the ode to our motherland was penned.

CJI GAVAI SIGNS OFF. PREACH: “I practice Buddhism, but I do not have any deep knowledge of any religious studies. I am truly a secular person." PRACTICE: "Go and ask the deity itself to do something now. You say you are a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu. So go and pray now".

U.S IS A "NATURAL ALLY" AND "STRATEGIC PARTNER". Think carefully as U.S. favours pak blindly. Proof: The annual report submitted to the US Congress by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission claims: "PAK'S MILITARY SUCCESS OVER INDIA IN ITS 4-DAY CLASH..."

WHY THERE'S NO "MAMATA" FOR S.I.R. IN BENGAL. Meet Mohammad Mollah, who admits he came from Bangladesh in 1990. He settled in Shrirampur, married a local woman, and allegedly used his father-in-law’s name as his own father’s to get a VOTER CARD. KHELA HOBE!
