Times are changing. Atheist DMK govt has organised Muthamizh Murugan International Conference in 2024. CPI (M) is organising Global Aiyappa Sangamam next month. Is this to decolonise their thought that equated belief with unintelligence or sheer electoral opportunism?

The stakes in the relationship between the two countries are just too high to be hijacked by colonial-era ideas of nationhood. India-China conflict began in 1947, not 1962 war. Its lessons still haunt New Delhi theprint.in/opinion/securi… via @theprintindia
