We won't be able to look our children in the eye if we don't learn to identify the merchants of hatred among us and stop those infected by it.

There will never be another Kamal Khan. Because this country has lost the moral strength to repeat the process by which one becomes Kamal Khan.

It's not a morning walk. It's not a pilgrimage. The walk of migrant workers towards their home is a march against the stripping of their democratic rights. With their walk, they are defying the system, walking on roads which they are not allowed to tread.

Under the shadow of guns, students of Jamia Millia Islamia University are marching forward with their hands up in the air.

This photograph of Ramon Magsaysay Award 2019 is dedicated to you. In these tough times, you have supported us. I have received this award, but in reality, it belongs to you readers and viewers, Ravish Kumar said.

Ravish's success as a seeker and an advocate of truth and the reason for his huge win today with the Magsaysay Award.

The real legacy of Atal Bihari Vajpayee lies in the politics of opposition. The politics of opposition is the politics of dissent. From 1957 to 1996, he dedicated his life to exactly that.

I'm not only hopeful but certain that this will find you hale and hearty. I always pray for your good health and wish that your limitless energy remains intact.

The media is certainly questioning the government after BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav's video went viral. But Tej Bahadur has also questioned the media. He has asked us for answers too. His statement - that no one in the media shows the condition that jawans are in - pierces the conscience like an arrow.

Pictures of shoes are being shared on Facebook and Twitter. It is being stated on social media that "50 days are almost up, where should the welcome with shoes be arranged?"

Vijay Deewan, 59, says he has no caste, no religion. But on much prodding he said that his mother and father were Brahmins. For the son of a Brahmin family to take up this profession in 1982, the resolve he must have had to annihilate the poison of India's caste system is something you can only imagine. It was this that made me think that amid the ...
