The actual credit belongs to IAS Anjani Singh and Nitish Kumar as this article points out!
The Bihar Museum has been ranked No. 1 in Asia and among the world’s best! This is a proud moment for Bharat, bringing its glorious civilisational legacy into the global spotlight. True to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji’s vision of ‘Vikas bhi, Virasat bhi’, Bihar is embracing modern development while rekindling pride in its rich heritage and cultural identity.

If with a bitter mouth you will speak sweet words, the world will neither sweeten nor become more bitter. And it is written in the book that we shall not fear. And it is also written, that we shall change, like the words, in future and in past, in the plural or in the solitary. And soon in the coming nights we shall appear, like wandering minstrels, each in the other's dream. And in these dreams will be strangers we did not know together. - Yehuda Amichai

The kind of courtesy they opulently display for Christmas and New year should have been generously extended to Hindu festivals as well, is asking for a little consistency too much now?

Trust a snake before you trust any journalist of The Hindu.
#WATCH | Myanmar Training camp case: Bailed-out US National Matthew Aaron Vandyke arrives at Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court to appear before the NIA court, after returning from the USA. He was granted permission to travel to the USA to meet his family. In September 2026, the court had granted him permission to travel to the USA for a month. He was directed to return to India and to appear before the court.

Impressive array of choices to think and write about in this pitch pool. Especially one concerning the purported purpose of literature. If one has read Agyeya and Bharti very thoroughly, one can produce a wonderful essay out of this one.

What if I shall have nothing besides ? I have obtained the boon of thy sight ! My glance has met with thine, and fired up, And I have sounded the Note of the Infinite!

Prashant Bhushan is a well- known face of Indian left. He wants regime change knowing fully well the implications of it. As he says: “Ye mai aaj khule taur pe keh raha hu ki haa ye regime change ki ladai hai” “Today, I declare openly that this is a battle for regime change.” The curious part is that they've cleverly camouflaged their ambition as something as pious as saving democracy.
Prashant Bhushan, alongside Abhijeet Dipke and Prakash Raj, openly declares: "This is a fight for regime change, and we will make it happen." They are practically admitting that the chaos they have been creating over the past few days is part of their fight for regime change.

The ‘fight for democracy’ is a facade. In the name of demos, these rabble rousers want to institute their dictates, not through persuasion but through anarchy. Like an old man's hunger for life, the losers hunger for the lost power and will accomplish it by any means.
