My Viewpoint

The Indian National Congress, once a dominant force in Indian politics, is increasingly entangled in contradictions and political posturing that erode its credibility on national security matters. The recent parliamentary debates surrounding the April 22, 2025, Pahalgam terror attack and the subsequent Operation Sindoor expose a party struggling to articulate a coherent stance, prioritizing partisan point-scoring over national interest. The Congress’s handling of these issues—marked by controversial statements, internal discord, and a propensity for chaos—reveals a troubling lack of vision and a focus on selfish political goals. Chidambaram’s Reckless Claims: A Pattern of Denial Former Home Minister P. Chidambaram’s remarks questioning the origins of the Pahalgam attackers, suggesting they could be “homegrown” rather than Pakistani, are emblematic of Congress’s muddled approach. In an interview, Chidambaram demanded evidence of the terrorists’ Pakistani links, dismissing tangible proof...

 Reflecting on National Resolve, Leadership, and the Need for Unity Operation Sindoor has recently captured national and international attention, standing out as a pivotal demonstration of India’s resolve against terrorism. In the aftermath of the devastating April 22, 2025, Pahalgam attack, where 26 innocent lives were lost, the Indian armed forces launched a meticulously planned operation, dismantling nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and PoJK and neutralizing over 100 terrorist operatives, all with exceptional precision and restraint. Leadership at the Helm: Modi, Singh, and Jaishankar Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Unyielding Resolve Guided by a commitment to safeguard India’s sovereignty, Prime Minister Narendra Modi played a decisive role in the orchestration of Operation Sindoor. On April 26, 2025, he convened a high-level meeting, empowering the armed forces with operational freedom to respond robustly to the Pahalgam tragedy. The operation, carried out over May 6...

Hey, do you ever feel like the courts treat some people better than others? Take the case of Justice Yashwant Varma, reported in the news. In March 2025, a fire at his Delhi home revealed sacks of burnt cash—possibly ₹15 crore. An inquiry found enough evidence to suggest misconduct, and there’s talk of impeachment. But months later, no police case has been filed. If an ordinary person had that kind of cash at home, would they wait this long for action? This raises questions about fairness, and Sanatana Hindu Dharma has something to say on the matter. Is our justice system living up to its promise? The Varma Case:   A Question of Accountability News reports say firefighters found burnt cash at Varma’s home, and a three-judge panel linked him to the storeroom. The government’s planning to act, but as of July 21, 2025, there’s no FIR, and the Supreme Court has not rushed a hearing on it. For a regular person, like a Delhi businessman caught with less cash in 2024, the ED would’ve mov...

Hey, have you been following the language drama kicking up in Maharashtra and Karnataka? It’s getting pretty heated—people arguing over Marathi, Kannada, Hindi, you name it. From commuters being told to “speak Marathi or get out” on Mumbai’s local trains to pro-Kannada activists stopping buses in Karnataka, it’s starting to feel like more than just a regional pride thing. Some people are worried that this could spiral into something bigger, perhaps even eroding the idea of India as a single nation. So, what’s going on, and should we be pointing fingers at politicians for stirring the pot? Let’s unpack it. What’s Happening on the Ground? Picture this: you’re on a crowded Mumbai train, and someone starts yelling at passengers to speak Marathi or leave. Or you’re a shop owner in Thane, getting harassed because you don’t speak the local language fluently. These aren’t just random stories—they’re real incidents from 2025 that have people talking. In Karnataka, groups have been pushing hard ...

Picture India’s streets: dogs wandering, cows munching on trash, donkeys hauling heavy loads, and people—kids, old folks, beggars—trying to get by. It’s a messy, lively mix, but there’s something off about how we choose to help. Stray dog welfare has become a significant issue, with NGOs raising millions to feed and care for them. But humans—whether they’re begging, homeless, or hurt by stray dogs—get ignored. And don’t get me started on other animals like cows or donkeys, who barely get a second glance. It’s like we’ve picked who deserves our kindness, and people are often at the bottom of the list. That’s just not right. Stray Dogs Get Love, Humans Get Left Behind There are approximately 60 million stray dogs in India, and many people are stepping up to help them. NGOs run feeding drives, spay them, and even find them homes, all backed by substantial donations and social media hype. Scroll through Instagram, and you’ll see cute dogs getting rescued, with everyone cheering. But what a...

The Kashmir conflict, a persistent source of tension between India and Pakistan since their 1947 partition, is a complex dispute rooted in historical, political, and cultural dynamics. Pakistan’s claim to Jammu and Kashmir, grounded in the two-nation theory, has been challenged by India, complicated by the role of British officers in the 1947 conflict, and further highlighted by recent geopolitical developments, including Pakistan’s calls for third-party mediation and U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s uninformed offers to mediate. The centuries-long persecution of Kashmiri Pandits and the actions of British officer Major William Alexander Brown in handing Gilgit-Baltistan to Pakistan underscore the flaws in Pakistan’s claim and its lack of locus standi. A 2017 British Parliament resolution reaffirming Gilgit-Baltistan as part of India further complicates Pakistan’s position. This article examines these elements and their implications for resolving the Kashmir issue. Historical Persecuti...
