By Sushil Kutty ‘Global Jihad Day’, Friday, October 13, was an imposition on the non-Muslim world. The Muslim world has a grudge and the rest of the world has to pause and pay. It is about who is the aggressor and who is the silent sufferer? It is no longer ‘Hamas’, but the entire Muslim […]

By Sushil Kutty Elections often throw up surprises. Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao isn’t one for unexpected surprises though.

By Sushil Kutty When the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam – a ‘whodunit’ if any – is spoken about in roadside tea stalls, it is a Sherlock Holmes narrative, especially the headline, “The Curious Case of AAP, Liquor and the Missing Money Trail” that prevails.
