Editorial: Unable to Fight Government Compromising with Corruption
The Editorial Team
Gone seem to be the days when a charge of corruption against a politician would make the accused person bow his head in shame. He could not show his face to people. But not now. Now charges of corruption provide glamour and inject a sense of pride among politicians. It is no longer a matter of shame to shut faces.

Dr. Radhasyam Brahmachari
It has been mentioned earlier that the so called pseudo secular and Marxist historians of India are projecting the Taj Mahal as a pure example of Islamic architecture and in support of their claim, they highlight four features, e.g (1) the dome, (2) the octagonal base, (3) the angular arch and (4) the four minarets at the four corners of the plinth of the edifice now known as Taj Mahal. They claim that these four features of Taj Mahal are absolutely Islamic. We should ...
