Friends, the May 2018 issue of #TheNationalist is out with special articles from Amb. Asoke Mukherji, @byadavbjp @harshvardhantri @madhura_98 @shivanandsahar 
Philip Christopher etc on #ModiPutin Summit, job generation, #48MonthsofTransformingIndia

More than backstabber Modi represents the permanent secularization of the BJP. It is nothing short of a victory for Congress, Seculars, anti-Hindus & the media who can then gloat in satisfaction that their pressure tactics & sustained campaign of systematic persecution succeeded.
Modi victory on a completely de-Hinduized platform will mean Hindus winning a battle but losing the war. BJP will have officially sanctioned the view that Hindutva or nationalism is an impediment or roadblock in the way of India's peace & prosperity & must be shunned forever.
I fear that this train has already left the station. BJP once put up a pretence of being a Hindu party but that was never true & is never going to be true ever. I say this based on the way its successful state govts are behaving, notably in MP. haryana now facilitating Azan eg.
What BJP does not realize is that it is in the same boat as the Hindus, like all the rest of the parties. By abandoning Hindus & Hindutva it may seek to win short-term battles but its future is going to come crashing down very soon in an Islamized India. Power hungry seculars all

How BJP's rise is changing the entire contours of regional politics https://t.co/y7DdXTSjIh    Whether the "Hindu" slogan will trump caste and linguistic identity will be the political trend to watch in the coming decade--published sept 2014-- Pl Read and RT

With the naked use of anti-corruption agencies for political vendetta, the Modi government is ensuring it’s not a level playing field. There is perhaps no action of the Modi government that’s more undemocratic than this. My article 

It's frustrating that so many Hindutva intellectuals choose to live in their imaginary ivory towers without any obligation for offering some coherent theoretical framework of their vision of the future. Modi govt pursuing a pragmatic paradigm for retaining power deserves support.

Major archaeological finding!!!
An early Bronze Age chariot found at a site in UP. Harappan sites had earlier given up only small models. This is very big finding and further analysis will give us to much better understanding of early India:

Dear woman, it is important to be somewhat selfish in love. Here's the reason

Marriage is...
"...a battleground in which two families send their best warriors to determine which family’s culture will direct the couple’s lives."
"...banging two rocks together in order to eventually bring out their deeper sparkle."

Venezuela is seeing one of the largest non-conflict related out-migration ever seen in history. Schools, universities, hospitals and all essential services are shutting down because starving people are choosing to escape Socialism. 

This is a really good piece on Labour’s economic policies in The Economist (yep, you heard that right) https://t.co/1ThycjraBR

Social Democracy is the best political system and a mixed economy is the best economic system. Countries who have adopted both of these such as Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, and Finland have the highest standard of living in the world.

A friend asked me: would you rather be poor in democratic India or poor in authoritarian China? This question troubles me.

Democracy is not always the best answer. The word has become quite an religion in some western countries. It has lots of benefits, but it also have it faults. 
Finland is democratic, yet it's also quite authoritarian society where freedom is reduced by lots of regulations.

Authoritarian societies are governed by rule by law and democratic societies by rule of law. Big difference. Finland is not authoritarian.

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose,
From her blind unwilling substance must emerge
A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
