Honoured to be chosen by Open magazine as one of the 50 most influential in the world of ideas. I am glad that the importance of the Right is finally being acknowledged, at least within the country.

My article in today’s Sunday ⁦The Times Of India⁩ on regime change in Iran. The proponents of this policy needs to learn from their misadventure in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. Iran is a very evolved civilisation with an autocratic government. Opposition will find its own level.

My best wishes to Samik Bhattachary, MP (Rajya Sabha) on assuming responsibility as President of the West Bengal BJP. He brings to the office his vast experience and dedicated service to the cause. We look forward to his leadership in the coming days. Samik Bhattacharya

The political style of Samik Bhattacharya was familiar to those who followed Bengal politics in detail. However, it assumes a greater significance since he is now the president of the main opposition party in the state. I must therefore compliment him for: 1) restoring the civility of

I am so glad that Samik Bhattacharya has made the vengeful destruction of the Indira Gandhi Cultural Centre in Dhaka on August 5, 2024, a talking point to expose the jihadi agenda. The book burning should at least alert the silent Bengali intellectuals of the dangers of allowing West

Is there a concerted attempt by dodgy US financial entities / research organisation to undermine India’s corporates/ financial institutions.? There are too many coincidences. I think the security agencies should investigate.

It is now apparent that behind Pakistan lurked China. Consequently, there are important lessons from Operation Sindoor centred on what more India needs to do. My article in today’s The Times Of India

My take on the religious polarisation in West Bengal prior to the Assembly elections. However, the wilful sabotage of the CAA initiative is posing a problem for Hindu refugees from Bangladesh. Article in today’s ⁦⁦TTOpinion⁩ ⁦The Telegraph

My article in today’s The Times Of India on the unappetising agenda behind the Bangla language nationalism that is being promoted by the Trinamool Congress. Is West Bengal on the cusp of becoming West Bangladesh?

Saddened to hear of the death of Meghnad Desai. I remember him as a Lefty academic at the LSE in the mid-1970s. I came into contact with him due to our common opposition to the Emergency. I was pleasantly surprised when, during the 2nd term of the UPA, he gravitated towards the

This is quite a serious misdemeanour. Violates all standards of acceptable journalism. The quantum of hatred for India is quite astonishing.
