Should Cricketer 'Virat Kohli' Be Protected For Bigger Battles Instead Of Being Thrown Into Every Odd Skirmish? 

By RAHUL SHRESTA | INNLIVE
The selectors are thinking of resting India's Test captain for the upcoming Zimbabwe tour, though he may not welcome the decision.

In the summer of 1998, Sachin Tendulkar couldn’t put a foot wrong. After a memorable Test series win against Australia at home, he was unstoppable in Sharjah in the Coca-Cola Cup, which Indian cricket fans know better as “Operation Desert Storm”. Tendulkar, who turned 25 that April, was already India’s best batsman, and most worshipped sportsman. Meanwhile in Delhi, a boy named Virat Kohli, all of nine, was awestruck by what he saw.

BJP Politics: Has Recent Poll Victory Made Things Difficult For Amit Shah In Gujarat? 

By NEWSCOP | INNLIVE

With Anandiben now showing a rare belligerence, the BJP president’s plan to replace the Gujarat CM before the 2017 Assembly poll seems to be in trouble.

Amidst the exhilaration over the Bharatiya Janata Party’s landslide victory in Assam, the party leadership has begun to absorb an uncomfortable truth.

Rewriting History: By Comparing Akbar To Hitler, BJP Shows There’s No Place For Even A 'Good' Muslim In India’s History

By SHOEB KHAN | INNLIVE

It's not about being the 'good' Akbar or the 'bad' Aurangzeb – like Pakistan, India can't accept a minority historical icon anymore.

In August 2015, New Delhi’s Aurangzeb Road was renamed APJ Abdul Kalam Road by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Of special note are his policies that supposedly discriminated against non-Muslims and his support for puritanical religion: a special tax on non-Muslims, temple destruction banning music and so on. So terrible is Aurangzeb’s image in modern India that not only Hindutva ideologues but even liberals and some left-wingers came out in support of the renaming.

India Verdict 2016: BJP's Gains Wrested By Learning Previous Lessons Of Defeats

By LIKHAVEER | INNLIVE

The victory in Assam restores Narendra Modi's image and strengthens party president Amit Shah's position.

Pushed on the backfoot after the Bharatiya Janata Party’s battering in the Delhi and Bihar assembly polls, the results of the assembly elections declared on Thursday proved to be a personal triumph for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and party president Amit Shah.
