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. The raw material for that elixir comes from the bladder of the cow. Or go, as the vernacular name for this cud-munching creature goes. . . . → Read More: Pee for Cow, a sip of go

The BJP government’s one-track agenda continues with another populist pro-Hindu gesture paid for… by the people, of course.

But our biggest challenge will be to keep up the tempo of this seemingly eternal protest. . . . → Read More: Moral cop-outs – who's to blame? The pink chaddi campaign has now become a burning issue. Now Mutalik and his men, fresh out of custody, want to burn all the soft pink Valentine’s Day gifts they have received from the supporters of the Consortium of Pub-Going, Loose and Forward Women. Talk of going down in a blaze of glory! If these guys are truly inspired by Lord Rama, don’t you think they’ve goofed up on the script?
