It’s not one charismatic star, but the people who make a nation great
New Indian ExpressThe Parliament’s winter session ended—not unexpectedly—in a bitter slinging match washing out almost all the precious time that could have been used in productive deliberations and debate registering dissent in a civil manner.

The distress of persecuted Hindu minority was highlighted by saffron-tinted tote bags balancing the ‘royal blue’ donned by one who is mocked as the crown prince by NaMo. It appeared as those who consider themselves entitled to rule by birthright prioritise making fashion statements to raising bread-and-butter issues that concern billion-plus less privileged compatriots.
