    In 2013, I ran away from work to listen to him speak. In 2025, when the world tunes into the master, a forgotten chapter of my life returns to me. László Krasznahorkai once ignited my dreams and, perhaps, also lent them the sense of an ending.

    It's a dangerously false narrative that he lost due to 'Muslim consolidation'. Check the vote share. Hindus pulled him down in UP, Rajasthan, Haryana, Maharashtra, Bengal. Hindus knocked him out in Ayodhya and Amethi, and brought his margin from 4.8 L to 1.5 L in Varanasi.

    Most of Himachal has meat-eater households. A state with 95 percent Hindus. Temples have a long tradition of animal sacrifice. Families in upper Himachal store meat of yaks and other big animals in homes that help them survive winters. But police happily chasing a Muslim.

    Make no mistake. He sought votes ONLY in his own name. ONLY for himself. It's his defeat alone. He has lost the moral, political and constitutional right to head the next government.

    I disagree with my former editor who describes the state's action against Zubair as "payback". This is perhaps the closest one could come to rationalise the assault on a citizen's constitutional freedom.
    Do I have a complaint with Mohd Zubair of Alt News? Here’s why I have 3 answers: No, No & Yes This week's #NationalInterest bit.ly/3c1GDoQ

    "I met Rahul for the first time during the yatra. I found him fitter than me. When I told him that I am an actor, he smiled: 'That I know. I want to know why you came here?' He exuded genuine warmth, was keen to know about people." @sushant_says outlookindia.com/national/yatra…

    Muslim vendors, tailors in West UP talk about the everyday apartheid. Hindus have drastically reduced their purchases from them. Muslim livelihood badly hit. Not long ago 4-5 Innovas and Scorpios would run from Deoband to Delhi daily, carrying Muslim traders. Hardly one runs now

    Adani's men arrived in Parsa coal block of Hasdeo Arand zone in Chhattisgarh today. Adani is the mine development operator here. Local women reminded them that the gram sabha permission they obtained is illegal, and asked them to go away. Locals are protesting here for long.
