RSS-BJP rulers of India have been trying to show off as great fan of Netaji. But Indians must know what role ideological parents of today’s RSS/BJP played against Netaji and Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj).

On this occasion many of the pseudo-liberals who claimed to be defenders of the democratic-secular polity of India manifested great happiness. They declared that the time of SC being an appendage of the RSS-BJP government headed by PM Modi was over as Justice Chandrachud was a liberal judge committed to the democratic-secular polity of India.

But the government is failing answer a few questions. If this scheme is considered a success by the BJP government, then why, a few years ago, were similar schemes ridiculed as “Rabidi” schemes?

Jyothi Yarraji from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, performed heroically in the 2024 Paris Olympics finishing fourth in the repechage round heat one. As she was in Paris fighting for a medal in the 100-metre hurdles, a Telugu TV channel went to her semi- slum house to interview her parents. Her father, who looked old, perhaps hardly in his early fifties, said when she was studying in a Government school they used to beat her telling her not to go for games, leaving classes.

Reports indicate that arrangements are afoot to observe the centenary in a massive way on a pan-Indian scale. Is this Narendra Modi’s way of mending fences with Mohan Bhagwat and the rest of the RSS hierarchy?

Very recently, I watched the Bachchan vs Dhankhar showdown during a Rajya Sabha session. The treatment of Jaya Bachchan, an actor turned politician since 2012, and a 5th time elected MP from Uttar Pradesh in the Rajya Sabha at the hands of Chairperson Jagdeep Dhankhar, 14th vice president of India was appalling. Jaya Bachchan was elected from the Samajwadi Party (SP).
