Please, please 'interfere' to stop kar sevaks, mob lynchers, beef vigilantes, etc... That kind of interference is expected. The problem is you are not interfering in the right way.

Dreich is a perfectly good word to describe the weather here. However Dreich magazine &publications are not full of doom and gloom. They are full of sunshine and optimistic poems as well as the rest. A reflection of human concerns in the world.

जस्टिस चंद्रचूड़ ने कहा कि सरकार का झूठ उजागर करें। उन्हें और माननीय अदालत को यह देखना चाहिए कि झूठ उजागर करने वालों को झूठे मामलों में फँसाया जाता है। झूठ के उजागर को जनता तक पहुँचाना आसान नहीं है। अब क्या जनता अपना काम छोड़ कर चौराहे और चौपाल पर प्राइम टाइम का प्रसारण करेगी ?

अखिलेश यादव नजरबंद हैं, प्रियंका गांधी और दीपेन्द्र हुड्डा पुलिस हिरासत में हैं, एक राज्य के मुख्यमंत्री का हेलीकॉप्टर नहीं उतरने दिया जा रहा और राहुल गांधी को आने की अनुमति नहीं है। पर मनीष गुप्ता हों या किसान, उनकी हत्या का एक भी आरोपी पकड़ा नहीं गया है। यही रामराज्य है।

I am so grateful and humbled to be a part of this. Thank you so much L A Traynor

Attacker should hv consulted some Urdu knowing person.“Riwaaz” in not Urdu/Hindustani word. Correct word for Diwali is “Jashn-e-Charaghan”. BTW Urdu is very much Indian language and it has the treasure of all our cultural heritage and sanatan traditions. #BoycottFabIndia

You feel how special Glasgow Women's Library is every time you step into it. I love how it is owned and cherished by women living on the doorstep and further afield. My mother born in the East End. I brought the poet Saima Afreen visiting from India and she felt it too. Saima Afreen
