After the appointment of disgruntled Congress leader TS Singh Deo as Deputy CM in Chhattisgarh, speculations are being made that the party will take similar action in Rajasthan and there will finally be peace between Pilot and Gehlot. It is necessary if Congress wants to retain power. But there is much dissimilarity between the cases in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. Singh Deo never crossed political limits, while Pilot openly rebelled against Gehlot and his party.

Obama attack on India will hit Democrats
Just like Corbyn shot Labour by Espousing Kashmir for Pakistan.
New Labour Head is bending backwards to Assure that Corbyn was a fool.
Democrats are distancing from Obama. Money talks
Just like Jewish Caucus, Indian American grouping of is rich and influential. Look at the way they funded the entire case in Supreme Court to overrule no merit admissions in Ivy league.

The contents of Web series are a matter of concern for today's society. As the subject matter of web series is full of foul and abusive language, obscenity, aggression and violence as visuals stay in mind for a longer time and consequently affect the health of its viewer. In the name of freedom of expression, mental, emotional and physical health is under threat.

The appellant sought for information under section 7(1) in Hindi and submitted that he has not received the information. The PIO submitted that the fees charged from the candidates are decided by the governing body of their organisation. He further affirmed that he would abide by the orders of the CIC.

The Patna meeting can be considered a good start but real opposition unity is still far away. The real test of opposition unity will be when there will be talk of seat adjustment and claim for the post of prime minister. Real differences between the opposition parties will also come to the fore on these two issues. The Congress is already angry with Mamata Banerjee's statement that the Congress should field candidates only on those seats where it is strong. That is, Congress should keep about 200 seats with it and give the rest to regional parties. The Congress, buoyed by the victory of Himachal and Karnataka, will never agree to contest the Lok Sabha elections on only 200 seats.

Let me give here an extract from Ken Follet’s famous novel in the Winter Of The World: “Berlin 1933 The Ancient Egyptians built the pyramids when Germans were living in caves.

That was where European thinkers, writers, politicians were trapped in their world knowledge in the last century and were engaged in debates on democracy and available options that were to lead to the next world war. Obviously they had no idea of India then, buried under the debris of Socialism of Germany and Fascism of Italy over other problems of backwardness and poverty. They knew India and about India but ignored the fact that the Vedas preceded both the Egyptians and the Arabs, just like our secular brigades do today. Under the cursed belief of a flawed secularism many morons are trying to outdo them daily. They are India’s indigenous tribe of Storm Troopers, Brown Shirts (Red Shirts, White Shirts, Green Shirts, Yellow Shirts and other varieties of 75 years young India added competitively rather fast) who act like policemen as their party gives them the authority of auxiliary police men. Even then, Sarve Bhavantu Sukhino…
