This ugly incident of Police handing down instant street justice to an alleged thief in an inhuman way happened in Jammu two days ago. Initially it was a bit satisfying to note that the district SP was prompt to initiate an inquiry. Now that has been watered down by deeply

There is a sudden spurt in media reports and commentaries on reinstatement of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Filter out the chaff and you see the following [speculations] coming out: let the eight month old government resign to have the state reinstated or wait till the end of

Some interesting conversations

Given the past precedent of absolute surprises synonymous with the current regime, it will be a little foolish to make any predictions about what might happen tomorrow or later in the month in/about/along Jammu and Kashmir. The code of secrecy has always been water-tight even

A strange coincidence! Satya Pal Malik, the key signatory to the Article 370 abrogation as Governor of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019, has passed away today on the sixth anniversary of that monumental event. Towards the end he had lost all friends and sympathisers on both
