Is Umar Khalid India’s Zohran ? ज़ोहरान ममदानी और उमर ख़ालिद दोनों आदर्शवादी, सिद्धांतवादी, करिश्माई और क्रांतिकारी युवा.. दोनों ने इंसाफ़ और बराबरी पर आधारित बेहतर दुनिया का सपना देखा लेकिन उमर और ज़ोहरान होने का फर्क़- दिल्ली की पुलिस ने गिरफ़्तार करके उमर को जेल में डाल दिया…

देखते ही देखते हिंदी पत्रकारिता, ‘हिंदू पत्रकारिता’ में बदल गई. पत्रकार, क़लम के सिपाहियों से धर्म के सैनिक बन बैठे: @khanumarfa

और देखते-ही-देखते हिंदी पत्रकारिता, ‘हिंदू पत्रकारिता’ में बदल गई। पत्रकार, क़लम के सिपाहियों से धर्म के सैनिक बन बैठे। और देखते-ही-देखते… लानत है!

अयोध्या में 500 वर्षों के बाद जब 161 फीट ऊँचे शिखर पर केसरिया ध्वजा फहरा, तो ऐसा लगा मानो अयोध्या का न्याय पूरा हुआ। हम धन्य हैं कि उस युग में जन्मे जब देख लिया कि कैसे रामलला टेंट से निकलकर अपने सिंहासन पर बैठे। धन्य हैं कि उस ध्वज को लहराते देखा जिसने पाँच सौ साल का घाव हमेशा…

Curious contradiction- shrines of all other faiths have been asked to raise the national tricolour for the past few years, but the PM and CM, who have sworn by the constitution will raise a religious flag today.

In an interview to CNN in ‘05, former PM Manmohan Singh declared himself proud that global jihad had made no dent in India, which has the second largest Muslim population in the world, and that was because it was a functioning secular democracy in which people of all religions…

What a beautiful interaction. An era ends with the passing of the legendary #Dharmendra . As handsome and as charismatic , as he was graceful & humble. Go well Dharamji. You will be missed.


At this point it feels like NDTV’s Managing Editor Shiv Aroor is in a full-blown race with OpIndia folks for the Troll-in-Chief title. Wild how his timeline looks like pure views-farming these days. Shiv, don’t be so desperate and please stop using my name for engagement.

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.


Two MPs -one him, one her -have embarrassed themselves so thoroughly that the only suspense left is when they’ll cross over. The joke, of course, is that the BJP has absolutely no use for them. Na Khuda hi milaa, Na visaal-e-Sanam Na idhar ke rahe, na udhar ke rahe ?


Who would’ve thought that a simple post about the Father of our Nation could spark such outrage in his own land? But nothing can dim the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi- a legacy of non-violence that made India a light for humanity. I’m proud of that India.

On a train in New York, met a group from Japan and Korea. The moment they heard I was from India, immediately said “Gandhi.” I’ve heard this so many times and it never stops moving me. This will be Gandhi’s India. Today. Tomorrow. Always.

Democracy dies in darkness...and in silence against such patently politically motivated raids.

Aishwarya Rai 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 In an age where the likes of Shilpa Shetty and Ekta Kapoor are sucking up to majoritarian Hindutva jokers like Dhirendra Shastri, Aishwarya talks about humanity on a platform where Modi was in attendance. It may sound basic but in today’s India, it’s…

There is an undated video of Delhi blasts accused Umar Nabi justifying suicide bombing as “martyrdom,” and that it’s “misunderstood.” Suicide is haram in Islam and the killing of innocents is a grave sin. Such acts are also against the law of the land. They are not…

Why are mainstream news media sharing that chilling video of a terrorist! It’s so disturbing and triggering and I can’t imagine what the families of the victims would be going through, looking at it! This age of TRPs based on sensationalism is so disturbing! Absolutely…


Let’s not pretend there isn’t a silence around this. Kashmiri lives are demonized to the point where a father takes his own life after being denied the chance to see his son- a suspect, not even proven guilty. In the world’s largest democracy, the basic human rights of…

The use of “gobi farming” imagery by a sitting Cabinet Minister of Assam in the wake of the Bihar election results marks a shocking new low in political discourse. It is both vulgar and shameful. The image is widely associated with the Logain massacre of 1989, where 116 Muslims…
