Tavleen Singh writes: Is the Congress party suicidal?Subscriber Only
January 14, 2024 08:00 IST
Why has the Congress Party been reduced to such a state that in the past two general elections it has not been able to win enough seats to claim the position of leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha?

Tavleen Singh writes on Ayodhya temple consecration: Mixing religion with politics has ruined countries like Iran and PakistanSubscriber Only
January 07, 2024 07:55 IST
The consecration ceremony is two weeks away, but it is hard to find a news bulletin that does not lead with the latest developments in the temple.

Tavleen Singh writes: PM Modi’s guarantees vs Rahul Gandhi’s promisesSubscriber Only
December 31, 2023 07:30 IST
If Modi’s guarantees have more resonance, it is because he seems to have understood exactly what appeals to the Indian voter today

Tavleen Singh writes: Please answer the questions, PM ModiSubscriber Only
December 24, 2023 07:45 IST
It has long been evident that one of the great skills of the Modi government is to create a distraction every time it finds itself in a tight spot and this is what it did with the harmless spoof on the Vice President.

Tavleen Singh writes: A caste census is casteismSubscriber Only
December 17, 2023 07:10 IST
Extreme poverty and casteism have long been the material that our political leaders use to create their vote banks but why have the Dalit groups who attacked me last week not done more? Is it because their compassion is fake or because they have learned how to exploit these most deprived of India’s citizens just like politicians?

Tavleen Singh writes: Time to end reservationsSubscriber Only
December 10, 2023 07:30 IST
Among the benefits that accrue is that you can claim vast tracts of valuable public land for this supposedly charitable activity. The whole system is corrupt, outdated and evil, and the people who barely benefit because of it are those deprived and discriminated castes for whom reservations were created in the first place.

December 03, 2023 07:14 IST

Tavleen Singh writes: I wish India had done more when Mumbai was attackedSubscriber Only
November 26, 2023 08:00 IST
As someone who lives in Mumbai in that vicinity where the attacks took place, what has horrified me is how little has been done since 26/11 to strengthen our defences against jihadi terrorism.

Tavleen Singh writes: If Osama can change from being monster to hero, we all need to be worriedSubscriber Only
November 19, 2023 07:15 IST
When I asked moderate Muslim friends why Osama was seen as a hero, they said he was fighting for Allah against the ‘evil western world’ and this made him a holy warrior. How ironic that he has become a hero once more in the eyes of young people bred in the very world that he set out to destroy.

Tavleen Singh writes: From Gaza to freebies ahead of elections, dark shadows over DiwaliSubscriber Only
November 12, 2023 07:02 IST

Tavleen Singh writes: PM Modi needs to put leash on officials who trample on others’ rightSubscriber Only
October 29, 2023 07:45 IST
Preserving democracy has become vitally important today not just in India but in the world because long shadows loom over democratic countries like Israel and Ukraine.

Tavleen Singh writes: Why I still stand with IsraelSubscriber Only
October 22, 2023 07:56 IST
There are ‘liberals’ in India who believe that jihadism is no different to Hindutva and that both need to be condemned in equal measure. I believe they are wrong.
Mon, Oct 23, 2023
Tavleen Singh writes: Does Israel have a choice but to fight for its right to exist?Subscriber Only
October 15, 2023 07:00 IST
If civilians in Gaza are killed in the war that Israel hopes will finish Hamas once and for all, it will be Hamas that is to blame.

Tavleen Singh writes: It’s an election, not warSubscriber Only
October 08, 2023 07:45 IST
It is largely because PM Modi has taken so aggressive a tone that the coming election has begun to sound more like a civil war.

Tavleen Singh writes: We have much to learn about democracy from countries who we believe learned from usSubscriber Only
October 01, 2023 07:43 IST
Manipur has been burning for nearly six months now, and you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of journalists who have gone there to report what is really happening.

Tavleen Singh writes: India’s Canadian problem and worries about revival of the Khalistan mythSubscriber Only
September 24, 2023 07:10 IST
Of course, this is against the laws that govern international relations but let us not pretend that if after 26/11 India had managed to bump off evil men like Hafiz Saeed in their sanctuaries in Pakistan nobody would have shed a tear.

September 17, 2023 07:31 IST
While PM Modi talks of healing and building trust and while he makes it a point these days to address his countrymen as my “beloved family members” they wander about spreading hatred and violence
Sun, Sep 17, 2023
Tavleen Singh writes: For Modi, G20 summit adds to personal prestigeSubscriber Only
September 10, 2023 07:26 IST
From Modi’s point of vantage, the summit that concludes today has already brought laurels and glory that will add to his personal prestige.

Tavleen Singh writes: With major state elections every year, India seems to remain in election season endlesslySubscriber Only
September 03, 2023 07:45 IST
Of the conclave of Modi’s opponents in Mumbai, I ask why in the decade that they have spent in opposition they have not come up with new ideas on education, on healthcare or anything else?

August 20, 2023 07:05 IST

August 13, 2023 06:45 IST
That sense of being at an election rally was heightened by the slogans he encouraged his MPs to raise when he said something he thought was exceptional.

August 06, 2023 07:12 IST
