Social media has been a powerful medium in exposing the sinister
campaign against RSS.
While reviewing some of the tweets by anti RSS propagandists, I
felt it is necessary to expose some of the popular myths about RSS.
A lot of people are blindly ranting against Rastriya Swayamsevak
Sangh, without getting proper information. You can't change
everyone, but at least you can put som..

I think many youngsters are getting carried away with a "clean"
and "fresh" option in politics. They are not realizing the risks
and mistakes. I will make one attempt to drive some key points for
them to ponder. This is not about BJP or Congress. This is about
whether the "fresh" option is even worth considering.
I am one of those who attended Anna Hazar..

You have heard a lot over the past 3 to 4 years about
Yeddyurappa and Janardhana Reddy. The infamous Yeddy-Reddy stories
that made headlines across English media channels told a common
Indian that everything about mining scam in south India was their
making.
But wait.. there's a lot more to the real deal than Yeddyurappa
and BJP. The much paraded Santosh Hegde's Lokayukta rep..

It's exactly 1 month from now, for the voting morning in
Karnataka.
So many of you are supporting BJP and many of you are thinking
it is a gone case for BJP in 2013. This letter is for those who
support BJP, but are low on morale on how to tackle so much
negative publicity about BJP's internal bickering since 2008. Even
if you have written off BJP from 2013 polls, read this, ..

Let's start with a hard fact:
India is at least 81% Hindu. No matter how you slice and dice, this
is an overwhelmingly Hindu majority nation. There's no denying of
that fact.
But it is also an important fact that India has been very
successful in unifying its extremely diverse population.
There are 1000s of castes among all religions. The..

A 23 year old paramedic student from Dehradun, Uttarakhand, who
in Dilli (Delhi) for internship is struggling for a week now for

Digvijaya Singh, was on Peace TV, run by Dr. Zakir Naik. Addressing
a large gathering of Muslims, Digvijaya Singh gave us a glimpse of
how India's ruling party Congress views Zakir Naik, thanks to their
practiced version of “secularism”.
Some “gems” from Digvijaya Singh during..

The past two days in India have seen lots of “outrage” on the

almost everyone is talking about the same.
In probably the steepest one time hike ever, petrol price at retail
level was up by Rs. 7.50 per litre on Wednesday. Burning

The first week of May 2012 was yet another “great” opportunity
for some Padma award “winning” media folks and NGO crowd, to “show”

What BBC stands for: Founded in 1927, BBC is

literally an empire, long after the demise of the British empire
considering that over 3.5 billion pounds are spent across radio,
online and TV outlets. This writeup is focusing on BBC's ..
