Congress's Sachin Pilot -- credited with a big role in the party's victory in Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh through ground-level election work -- will begin the election year in Rajasthan with an elaborate mass contact programme, one that his political rival Ashok Gehlot will probably not be attending. While the Chief Minister remains busy with the last budget before the election, Mr Pilot has planned five key "Kisan sammelans" (farmers' gatherings) across the state. The rallies will be held in Nagaur, Hanumangardh, Jhunjhunu and Pali on 16, 17, 18 and 19 -- tucked neatly between Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra and the beginning of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's women's rallies that begin on January 26. On January 20, he will hold a youth conference at Jaipur's Maharaja College. Sources close to Mr Pilot have denied that the move is a challenge to the leadership in the state. The 45-year-old is using the mass contact programme as a mandate to go back ...

उपराष्ट्रपति जगदीप धनखड़ ने बुधवार को केशवानंद भारती मामले में उस ऐतिहासिक फैसले पर सवाल उठाया जिसने देश में ‘संविधान के मूलभूत ढांचे का सिद्धांत' दिया था. धनखड़ ने बुनियादी ढांचे के सिद्धांत पर सवाल उठाया और संकेत दिया है कि न्यायपालिका को अपनी सीमाएं पता होनी चाहिए. धनखड़ के इस बयान पर कांग्रेस ने प्रतिक्रिया देते हुए कहा है कि 'उन्‍हें' पाठ्यपुस्‍तकों (Textbooks)की ओर वापस जाना चाहिए क्‍योंकि संविधान सर्वोच्‍च है न कि विधायिका.  कांग्रेस ने कहा है कि उप राष्‍ट्रपति और राज्यसभा के सभापति जगदीप धनखड़ का केशवानंद भारती मामले से जुड़े फैसले को ‘गलत' कहना न्यायपालिका पर अभूतपूर्व हमला है. जयपुर में राजस्थान विधानसभा में अखिल भारतीय पीठासीन अधिकारी सम्मेलन के उद्घाटन सत्र को संबोधित करते हुए उपराष्ट्रपति ने कहा था, ‘‘संविधान में संशोधन का संसद का अधिकार क्या किसी और संस्था पर निर्भर कर सकता है? क्या भारत के संविधान में कोई नया ‘थियेटर' (संस्था) है जो कहेगा कि संसद ने जो कानून बनाया उस पर हमारी मुहर लगेगी तभी कानून होगा. 1973 में एक बहुत गलत परंपरा पड़ी, 1973 में केशवा...

क्या हमारे समाज में किसी हिंदू को उसकी जाति से परे रखकर देखना संभव है? बाबा साहेब भीम राव अंबेडकर जब जात-पांत तोड़क मंडल के सम्मेलन के लिए अपना अध्यक्षीय वक्तव्य तैयार कर रहे थे तभी उन्होंने यह सवाल उठाया था.उनका कहना था कि हिंदू समाज के भीतर रह कर जाति तोड़ना संभव नहीं है.जाति तोड़नी है तो हिंदू धर्म को तोड़ना होगा.इस वक्तव्य से जात-पांत तोड़ो मंडल इतना दुखी हुआ कि उसने अंबेडकर से ही नाता तोड़ लिया, उन्हें अध्यक्ष बनाने का प्रस्ताव वापस ले लिया.बाद में यही वक्तव्य 'जाति का विनाश' नाम से पुस्तक के रूप में छपा.  लेकिन यह लेख किस क़दर प्रासंगिक बना हुआ है, यह बात भारतीय समाज के किसी भी हिस्से पर एक नज़र डालते ही समझ में आ जाती है.इन दिनों भारतीय क्रिकेट में सूर्य कुमार यादव का जलवा है.उनकी आतिशी बल्लेबाज़ी, उनका अविश्वसनीय स्ट्रोक प्ले सबकुछ उन्हें महान बल्लेबाज़ों की श्रेणी में खड़ा करता है.वे एबी डीवीलियर्स और सचिन तेंदुलकर की तरह जैसे अपने बल्ले को जादू की छड़ी बना देते हैं और उससे मैदान के हर कोने में स्ट्रोकों की फुलझड़ियां पहुंचती दिखाई पड़ती है.वे क्रीज पर गिरते दिखते हैं...

Bharatiya Janata Party MP Sadhvi Pragya on Wednesday took on the former bureaucrats who wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla expressing discontent over her alleged hate speech, and said that she had only reminded people about their rights for women safety and that she would stand for the respect of women. Her remarks came after 103 former bureaucrats demanded action from the Lok Sabha Speaker against Pragya. Addressing Hindu Jagarana Vedike's South Region annual convention in Karnataka's Shivamogga in December last year, Pragya Thakur had said that a knife used for chopping vegetables can also cut the "heads of the enemies".

If our vegetables are cut well, heads and mouths of our enemies will also be cut well," she had said while addressing a gathering in Shivamogga, Karnataka.
