Arun Jaitley
Atalji’s demise is referred to by many as end of an era. I, however, consider it as a continuation of the era of which he was one who laid the foundation.
The political and ideological journey
His political journey shaped his ideology. His convictions were shaped by his deep commitment to the nation from the student days association with the Quit India Movement to his joining the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and then being associated with Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee as one of the founders of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh. During his early days in the Jan Sangh... |

In early August complete hartal for two days was observed in the entire Muslim belt of J&K State. Kashmir Valley is used to strikes in past decades but Sunday strike had one peculiarity. It was prominently noticeable in the Chenab Valley Muslim belt. That indicates deviation of this region from its known behaviour to calls from valley leadership in the past.
It is after a long time that the region has witnessed a strike of this magnitude with protesting crowds swarming in rallies and marches in almost all towns dotting the entire region called “Greater Kashmir”. It is for the first time after the holy relic theft episode in 1962 that all factions, identitie... |

In the recorded history of civilization and also in mythology (Hindu) only one and that too Lord Shiva had drunk the poison. Mehbooba Mufti perhaps wanted to be recorded in the history as another person to “drink poison” when she claimed at PDD’s 19th foundation Day at Srinagar and then repeated it at Jammu, that she “drank the cup of poison” to continue out of compulsion in coalition with the BJP, following the death of Mufti Mohammad Sayeed in 2016”.

| | Is PM Modi going to Islamabad? | | |
K.N. Pandita
Observers are speculating Modi’s participation in the oath-taking ceremony of Pakistan Prime Minister-designate on 11 August in Islamabad. Will Imran Khan invite SAARC leaders? Will he invite Modi also? Will Modi agree to go to Islamabad if invited? These questions are widely debated in political circles.
If Imran Khan is contemplating to invite SAARC leaders to his oath- taking ceremony, he is right in extracting political mileage out of it. For good reasons of its own, today Pakistan stands isolated in the comity of nations. It is simplistic to bring the onus for that to the doorsteps of the former Prime Minster; the real actors are hiding behind the curtain.

For more than half of her life, the Islamic State of Pakistan remained under the sway of military dictators who intermittently evicted civilian regimes including elected ones on the oft-repeated pretext of "threat to the integrity of the State"
