Tavleen Singh writes: Why is PM Modi finding it so hard to lead from the front in Manipur?Subscriber Only
July 30, 2023 06:46 IST
There are certainly historic reasons why Manipur has imploded in this way, but this is not a time for history but for dealing with what is happening today. Modi led from the front when that bridge broke in Morbi and when there was the train crash in Balasore. Why is he finding it so hard to lead from the front in Manipur?

Unsurprising really if you keep in mind that just a year ago it was another Maharashtrian political party that was destroyed by supposed irreconcilable internal divisions so grave that they brought down Uddhav Thackeray’s government.

Tavleen Singh writes: PM Modi has failed to deliver on the right-wing economic agendaSubscriber Only
June 04, 2023 07:35 IST
Modi's critics charge him rightly with centralising economic power in his own hands and taking personal credit for everything that has been built since he became prime minister.

Tavleen Singh writes on nine years of Modi government: Lessons for both sidesSubscriber Only
May 28, 2023 07:30 IST
I believe it is time for Modi to acknowledge that the belligerent Hindutva that has spread on his watch has damaged the tenets of the Sanatan Dharma and not just the status of Indian Muslims.

May 21, 2023 07:25 IST
The only Indians who managed to travel abroad regularly were rich businessmen, politicians, and bureaucrats, and their progeny who went as students to some of the best universities in the world.

May 14, 2023 06:48 IST
There is another message for the BJP from Karnataka. If the Prime Minister is the main candidate, then he will be personally blamed when defeat comes instead of victory.

Congress gets it wrong againSubscriber Only
May 07, 2023 07:55 IST
All of this has happened because some idiotic advisor in Rahul Gandhi’s inner circle decided to insert a paragraph in the party’s manifesto that puts the Bajrang Dal in the same bracket as the Popular Front of India (PFI).

PM Modi’s inability to better India’s political culture is one of his biggest failuresSubscriber Only
April 30, 2023 07:30 IST
Why has nobody advised Congress leaders to focus instead on the criminals that fill the ranks of the BJP? How can Modi promise a ‘new India’ when the worst people from that old India continue to thrive?

Tavleen Singh writes: Gangsterism instead of justiceSubscriber Only
April 23, 2023 07:50 IST
If ‘new’ India is going to become a country in which the rule of law is ground into the dust by bulldozers, then we must accept that this new India will not be called a democracy.

Tavleen Singh writes: Why Uttar Pradesh breeds so many criminals and gangstersSubscriber Only
April 16, 2023 07:45 IST
If urban schools are bad, rural ones are worse. It is no surprise to come across villages in which there are twice as many private schools as government schools because people would rather pay for their children to get an education than let them pretend to be studying in a government school.

Tavleen Singh writes: Will anyone challenge Modi?Subscriber Only
April 09, 2023 07:01 IST
Tavleen Singh writes: There is no challenger in sight. But Modi is not one to take things for granted, so he warned BJP workers last week that they better not become complacent.

March 26, 2023 06:20 IST
Meanwhile, the Budget got passed last week without debate because Parliament has not functioned in the hope that Rahul Gandhi will apologise for saying that Indian democracy is under threat.

Tavleen Singh writes: Rahul Gandhi wins this roundSubscriber Only
March 19, 2023 06:55 IST
I am no admirer of Rahul Gandhi but concede that in the needless brouhaha about what he said and did not say on his foreign tour he has behaved with more dignity and maturity than the Prime Minister or the senior ministers he chose as his attack team.

Tavleen Singh writes: Why the rise of Amritpal Singh is extremely disturbingSubscriber Only
February 26, 2023 07:15 IST
It is hard to say if Amritpal Singh would have garnered the support that he clearly has if the farmers movement had been better handled. What it is possible to say is that once more Punjab is seeing a ‘war against the Indian state’ led by a fanatical Sikh preacher.

Tavleen Singh writes: Brute state power is ugly and has no place in the ‘mother of democracy’Subscriber Only
February 19, 2023 07:10 IST
The bulldozer policy started by Bulldozer Baba is totally different. It is brute use of state power and brutal crushing of the rule of law.
