Dalit Boys Thrashed: Can 'Stand Up India' End Dalit Discrimination?
Three Dalit children, accused of theft, are brutally beaten by a mob in Rajasthan as they beg for mercy. Closer to the capital, the Prime Minister announces Stand Up India to guarantee financial inclusion to Dalits. But at the end of the day, with the number of assaults on Dalits on the rise, we ask if the words 'Dalit rights' can ever be more than political rhetoric.
Pakistan Doublespeak On Pathankot: Has PM Modi's Gambit Achieved Little?
Not many were holding their breath for something to come from Pakistan after the Pathankot attacks and the proof now seems to be clearly out there. A report says Pakistani investigators who came to the Pathankot air base have said in their report that the attack was a "drama staged to malign Pakistan." The opposition, particularly the AAP, has jumped into the fray with some leaders making bizarre statements accusing the PM of being an ISI agent. Has serious debate on our Pakistan policy been replaced by political mudslinging ahead of elections? We debate.
