Dear Ma'am, Don't Do This, I Say With Folded Hands - By Ravish Kumar
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.

Blog: There Will Never Be Another Kamal Khan - By Ravish Kumar
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.

Blog: We, Left Behind in Cities, Are Migrants, Not Them - By Ravish Kumar
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.

Even mothers and sisters are reticent on expletives targeting mothers and sisters. Why?

Blog: The Opposition Will Always Remember You, Atal-ji - By Ravish Kumar
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. About 90 per cent of his political career was spent in the politics of opposition. Despite that Atal Bihari Vajpayee had no opponents.

Blog: Ravish Kumar On His Photo With Earphones Going Viral
Earlier this week, there was a breach in my security. I was stuck in a traffic jam when I saw a young man hiding his face, raising his phone from the car to click my photo. Maybe he even shot a video. I couldn't see him. I always wear an earpiece for security reasons.

Blog: Ravish Kumar On An Insignificant Man And What It Exposes
The irony may make you chuckle. Just a day after a survey from the other side of the world told you that 55 per cent of Indians want a strong leader at the helm of affairs, a film opens at the theatres that tells the story of a leader who billed his insignificance as his biggest strength.

Blog: "PM Modi Can Follow Me On Twitter": Blog By Ravish Kumar

Blog: BSF Jawan Tej Bahadur Is Right, Media Betrayed Him
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.

Blog: I Am Against Those Who Talk Of Throwing Shoes After 50 Days
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?" Do those who oppose him also secretly hold the desire to become part of or lead the baying crowd? Many people are writing again and again that "the shoes are ready, please let ...

Blog: Enough Persecution. Dalits Should Stop Skinning Cows.
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 ...
