 Modi asked youth: “Have you ever thought that the money you spend on drugs might be going to terrorists who buy bullets to kill our soldiers?

Focus: 'RSS Hindutva Antics Give Lease Of Life To Muslims'

Narendra Modi's prime ministership may still be a work-in-progress, but for the wider Sangh Parivar it looks like mission accomplished and it might just as well go and hang out the buntings. For, in barely six months, it has succeeded in undoing years of hard work by the Muslim community to defang its own fanatical fringe.

Just when it seemed that the Muslim Right had started to come under pressure, it has been given a new lease of life by groups such as VHP and Bajrang Dal with their relentless hate campaign. Suddenly, the mullahs are crawling out of the woodwork full of sound and fury.

Why Modi Govt Is Throwing Money For A 'Failing SpiceJet'?

SpiceJet has been in the red for five consecutive quarters and has been registering losses for the past three financial years.

India’s third largest airline, SpiceJet, is collapsing – and the Indian government want its banks to throw money behind the carrier to keep it afloat.

SpiceJet insists that it isn’t a bailout – instead terming it as “breathing time” – but adds that the airline’s promoters are unable to infuse any more money into the business. The government, it seems, is buying the theory.

Special Report: The Making Of A Terrorist, Where Taught 'How To Lose Humanity'

What makes terrorists such ruthless beasts, bereft of all feelings normal to human beings? The cruelty involved in the killing of 132 children in a Peshawar school and the total lack of remorse among the handlers of the attackers reveal the role indoctrination plays in the transformation of normal people into dehumanised, robot-like entities.

Before going ahead with the opinion of experts, one must make clear that radicalisation and indoctrination are not synonymous, although they can be stages of a process.

'Conversion To Islam Solely For Marriage Is Not Valid': HC

In a significant judgement, the Allahabad High Court has ruled that the religious conversion of girls "without their faith and belief in Islam" and "solely for the purpose of marriage" to Muslim boys could not be held valid.

Justice Surya Prakash Kesarwani passed the order while dismissing a batch of petitions filed by five couples, hailing from different districts of Uttar Pradesh, who had sought "protection as married couple".

Opinion: The 'Big Hole' In India’s Balance Sheet 2014

Corporate myopia poses a great risk to India’s financial stability. Over a year ago, just after taking charge as governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Raghuram Rajan had emphasized that it was essential to build a bullet-proof national balance sheet to prepare for the eventual reduction of quantitative easing in the US.
