From Partition to Pahalgam: What We Refuse to See About Ourselves After the Pahalgam terror attack, I have seen countless people feel shock at the coldness of this identity determination and murder. But do you think darkness only resides in others?

My eyes watered many times, my breath became heavy as I wrote this. I donโ€™t think my body has ever struggled this much as I wrote something.

2020, 1984, 1947. I โ€œrememberโ€ too much

Error, Not Terror: What Happens When Hindu Men Attack a Mosque? When the accused are Hindu and the place of worship attacked Muslim, bombs suddenly become โ€˜gelatin sticksโ€™ and no properties linked to the accused are demolished.

When 2 Hindu men bomb a mosque in India, stenography starts masquerading as journalism. I write:

No One Feel Any Sympathy for Rhea Chakraborty "If one innocent person like Rhea Chakraborty is freed, other innocent person currently accused or in prison may get the idea that their name may also be cleared one day. There are just too many innoc...

Rhea Chakraborty should be sent to prison. Her innocence is irrelevant. I know this will upset my liberal friends but it is what it is.

Applause When a 15-Year-Old Is Destroyed, Silence When a Baby Is Crushed to Death This weekโ€™s events are yet another lesson in patriotism.

I want to be a patriot. I am telling myself that being an Indian patriot requires me to look away from, if not celebrate the injustice and pain 15-year-old children suffer, especially if they happen to be Muslim.

I write.

I hope thatโ€™s the motive. What I fear is worse-that the author sincerely believe in his views, and that the Editor genuinely thinks that the piece is worthy of publishing.

Op-Ed in Indiaโ€™s leading daily newspaper. Says China's AI integrates Confucian values and American AI has "materialist frameworks" and imagines a utopia where AI is trained on Vedas.

To call this mediocrity would be high praise.

Muskโ€™s propaganda can be exposed with the help of a single fact.

He claims to be fighting for freedom and truth. Across history, not one person fighting for freedom and truth has demanded that you blindly worship and submit to the person in power.
