Pee for Cow, a sip of go
Rumour is rife that the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which so kindly turns in every stray bovine otherwise destined for the abbatoir to the goshala, is working on a magic potion that, by Toutatis, will make us more invincible than the Gauls.

In Haryana, a police sub-inspector hogged his 15 minutes of fame by dragging a couple out of their friend’s house and thrashing them in full public view. But that moral science lesson had a happy ending – the cop has been suspended Continue reading

Sari about that, Shri Mutalik
Sri Rama Sene boss Pramod Mutalik has allegedly threatened to send return gifts of saris to the women activists of the ‘Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women’. Now, knowing the Sene’s tastes in fashion, he’d better be careful that he chooses well… Continue reading
