Lying seems to be a morbid obsession with all Narendra Modi haters. Given all the lies that India’s mainstream media spread about his involvement in post-Godhra riots, which contradicted those very facts they’d themselves published earlier, as pointed out

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.

I think I was 12-13 years old when I heard a poem titled “Kashmir Mat Maango Kah Do Pakistan Hamara Hai” by Shri Abdul Jabbar (I am not sure about name).

My grandfather used to tell me a story. There used to live a great astrologist and palmist in a village.

Rahul’s remark can be condoned as just ano..
