Editorial: India Pitted Against Expansionist Designs
The Editorial Team
India today seems to be pitted against forces with expansionist designs over its territory.

China is openly making claims over the territory considered integral part of India since time immemorial. Maoists and jihadi elements are getting support and even arm supply form Bangladesh and Burma.

Death of a Politician

The politician died and knocked at the pearly gates of heaven.  A breathtakingly beautiful apsara opened the door.   He saw the marvelous, splendor of heaven and Indra seated on the throne of rubies and gold with a footstool made of sapphire and emeralds.  He licked his lips as he stepped inside, expecting a rousing welcome with over 100 attendants falling at his feet as his life had been on earth."Sir, you cannot go inside," said the apsara soft...
