The Supreme Court Collegium's recommendation for the elevation of a lawyer to the Karnataka High Court was refused thrice by the government because of his "deep affiliation" to a political party.

Pratik Gandhi (Scam 1992) will play Mahatma Gandhi in a new multi-season series based on historian Ramchandra Guha's books Gandhi Before India and Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World. It will be shot across locations in India and abroad.

Google is celebrating the 89th birthday of renowned Indian professor and scientist Udupi Ramachandra Rao today, remembered by many as "India's Satellite Man." Professor Rao, who died in 2017, was an Indian space scientist and chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

The government's response to a single six-word tweet by a foreigner was disingenuous, dishonest, and absolutely over the top.

Our Prime Minister has three-and-a-half years of his current term to run.

Even so, what the Modi-Shah regime has done in the past year marks a new low. It has wilfully and systematically intensified the already enormous sufferings of the people of Kashmir. The actions of our government must surely shame all Indians - regardless of religious faith or political affiliation - who still have some sort of moral conscience.

In his bid to impose his absolute authority on his party, his government, and his nation, Narendra Modi has had one key ally-his long-time associate from Gujarat, Amit Shah.

Even so, the recent depredations of the Delhi Police, their absolute disregard for truth, justice, and due process, represent something qualitatively different. That, in the country's capital today, a non-violent, peace-loving, citizen cannot expect fair treatment from the so-called custodians of the law merely because of her religious or political...

The recent clashes in Ladakh, leading to the tragic deaths of 20 Indian soldiers, prompt a fresh look at our government's policy towards China. The military, strategic and economic aspects of that relationship I leave to others more qualified in those fields. Writing here as a historian, I wish to draw attention to the curious parallels between the...

Noted historian Ramachandra Guha's tweet on Thursday quoting a British author set off a big debate on the microblogging platform in which Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani also got embroiled.
