The date was April 13, 1919, a day that marked the Punjabi New Year, known as Baisakhi, a time meant for celebration and joy. Yet, in the city of Amritsar, hundreds of Indians gathered at a place called Jallianwala Bagh—not just to ring in the festivities, but to raise their voices against a harsh new law imposed by the British rulers. This law, called the Rowlatt Act, had stirred anger across the nation, and nowhere was the unrest more palpable than in Punjab.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC), West Bengal’s ruling party known for its drama-filled politics, has outdone itself yet again – and this time, the stage is not the state Assembly but the heart of Delhi. The ruling party’s internal brawl has turned into a public boxing match, with its own MPs clawing at each other like contestants on a reality show.

In a country where historical wounds run deep and memories of invasion and destruction are still alive in public consciousness, some radical groups continue to glorify Islamic invaders who, by all accounts, came to India not as saints, but as marauding aggressors. The glorification of such figures—tyrants like Aurangzeb and Tipu Sultan—is not just academic revisionism; it’s an affront to the millions of Hindus who trace their ancestry to the victims of these very invasions.

Love jihad cases keep popping up all over India, even though the government has brought in tough laws to stop them. Sadly, people still get tricked by those who hide their true selves when it comes to choosing a life partner.
