Reprehensible as the exposè is, it does not surprise people in the only Muslim majority ex-State and now an UT, J&K.

Sanjay Dixit examines the challenge to nullification of Art. 370. The challenge is based on the argument that Art. 370(1) cannot be used to remove Art. 370, that Art. 367 cannot be amended to redefine 'Constituent Assembly', and it could not be done without the elected government being in place. Dixit looks at 5 Constitution Bench Judgments to give his opinion.

The time for political correctness seems to be over - at least for these two CMs - Yogi Adityanath and Himanta Biswa Sarma. Yogi became the first political leader in such a position to call the Moplah riots for what they were - a massacre of Hindus by fanatical Muslims of Malabar. Himanta Biswa Sarma, on the other hand, got down to the hard task of removing the encroachments of Bangladeshi Muslims over indigenous lands. Sanjay Dixit explains.
