Great step by Election Commission of India. But remember, nationwide SIR can't identify illegal immigrants under 18, nor can it deter adult illegals from entering India - they will simply move about and not vote. But it will curb their use as a vote bank and this is ultimately in national interest.

As we remember on Kargil Vijay Diwas the 527 Indian heroes who lost their lives, let us also remember a friend. Sanctions were in place. And yet, ignoring US opposition, Israel supplied us critically needed ammo and laser-guided missiles that turned the tide. Thank you, friend.

If a Hindu chanting the Gayatri Mantra were to barge inside a mosque and accost worshippers with Hanuman chalisa booklets while extolling the virtues of idol-worship and Brahman being the ultimate truth, there'd be a civil war in this country.

Rahul Gandhi opposes equating an act of terror with an act of war because for the Congress and its allies, be it tears at Batla, releasing Coimbatore bombers, continuing to grant MFN to Pak after 26/11, garlanding Rajiv Gandhi's assassin, an act of terror is an act of friendship.

They beat her till blood poured out. They pressed her to admit to saffron terror. She refused. They beat her more. She suffered brain-swelling and cancer. Today, 17 years later, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur is free. But those who tortured and framed her are also free. How is this justice?

Last year saw India's highest ever: GST collection - $270 billion; Vehicle sales - 25 million; Tax payers - 104 million; Manufacturing PMI - 59.2; Exports - $825 billion; Jobs created - 46 million; Forex reserves - $704 billion; Sensex - 85,900. Telltale signs of a dead economy.

The only thing dead around here is Rahul Gandhi's brain. But his neurosis should not make right-thinking Indians fall into the trap he has laid out for them - viewing not only Trump but also sound economic principles as adversaries. My views, on Trade, Tariff, and Trump:

Rahul Gandhi: I just bumped into Dr APJ Abdul Kalam at Khan market. He said it is impossible for me to achieve Jupiter's escape velocity of 60 km/sec using current technology. I said I'll get back to him after consulting Dr Vikram Sarabhai who's coming home for dinner tonight.

Even as the EU continues to buy 3 MT Russian iron and nickel, 18 MT Russian LNG and 8 MT Russian oil; the USA continues to buy 3.5 MT Russian fertilisers, 435 T Russian Uranium, and 1.1 MT Russian oil refined by India. Hypocrisy runs not only in their veins but also pipelines.

India has saved 2.21 lac crore, or $26.3 billion, in the last 3 years through buying Russian instead of Saudi oil, vitally keeping our inflation in check. Let Donald J. Trump who continues to buy Russian oil write us a cheque for $26.3 billion and we'll stop buying Russian oil.

Unreal. The Bengal Files by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri hasn't even seen the light of day but All India Trinamool Congress has already filed a slew of FIRs against him, claiming the film promotes communal hatred. Where are all those who say they speak truth to power? Stay strong, Vivek. We stand with you.

In response to my question, “Mr. President, India says the U.S. imports Russian uranium and chemicals while criticizing their energy imports. Your response?” President Trump replied: “I don’t know anything about it. We will have to check and we will get back to you.”
