Tavleen Singh writes: Trolling as a political weaponSubscriber Only
June 01, 2025 06:25 IST
It is not political points that they end up making but personal attacks that seek mostly to defame someone so badly that they shut up. I have chosen instead to develop a thick skin. But it is not thick enough to withstand a charge of treason.

May 25, 2025 07:15 IST
As for the media, it is time for TV anchors and reporters to remember that they harm India by constantly passing off jingoism as journalism.

If there had been real reportage, we would at least know, now that the fog of war has lifted, whether Pakistan’s military machine is as good as ours and if it is, we should know why.

May 11, 2025 06:50 IST
Pakistan’s military rulers often talk of India as an “existential threat” without noticing that it is they who are the existential threat. But these are things for later. For now, we need to see what is likely to happen when the fog of war lifts.

May 04, 2025 07:12 IST
We must learn urgently how to better defend ourselves against this evil, cowardly enemy that hides in our forests and remains faceless. This war did not start with the attack in Pahalgam. It has been going on for at least two decades and may continue for decades.

The good news from the Kashmir Valley is that local Kashmiris who have in the past given succor and refuge to the jihadi groups seem now to have come out against them.

Tavleen Singh writes: It is now a battle between an older, civilised India and a barbaric new IndiaSubscriber Only
April 20, 2025 07:05 IST
Under the gleaming new airports and the fancy new highways what is being crushed is the spiritual soul of India and it is being crushed by people who believe they are nationalists and patriots.

Tavleen Singh writes: Why PM Modi’s leadership is needed urgently at this timeSubscriber Only
April 13, 2025 07:12 IST
We must hope that someday soon you (the PM) will discover that your leadership is needed urgently at this time. We need assurance that India does not face economic ruination in the days and months to come.

Tavleen Singh on why SC should act against those using bulldozers to deliver justiceSubscriber Only
April 06, 2025 07:00 IST
Unfortunately, the Justice Varma case has not become a reason for some serious attempts at judicial reform

Tavleen Singh writes: There seems to be a strategy behind this attempt to cause mass hysteria over some silly issue or otherSubscriber Only
March 30, 2025 07:06 IST
If our politicians continue to behave this way, we will spend the next few years sending comedians to jail and squabbling over the legacies of emperors who died centuries ago. We can either cry about this or cheer ourselves up with good satire.

Tavleen Singh writes: Dissidence and criticismSubscriber Only
March 23, 2025 06:00 IST
The thing to remember is that the media reflects the voices of the people. If for doing this they are going to be called ‘urban Naxals’ and subjected to the jackboot of the state, those voices will die. Has this happened in India yet? It is something for you to decide.

Tavleen Singh writes: India is beginning to run out of timeSubscriber Only
March 16, 2025 07:15 IST
We need policies that will help us take advantage of having the largest population of young people in the world. Instead of just boasting about this in international forums we need our leaders to start doing something on the domestic front that will make a real difference.

Tavleen Singh writes: ‘Time for PM Modi to show he can turn his slogans into visible reality’Subscriber Only
March 09, 2025 07:15 IST
What we need are leaders with a modern vision of the road that we need to travel for us to remain relevant in the changing certainties of the new world. Narendra Modi could soon be facing the biggest test of his political career. It is no longer enough to give us nice slogans and words of comfort.

Tavleen Singh writes: Our private TV channels sound so much like Doordarshan that it is scarySubscriber Only
March 02, 2025 07:08 IST
What has changed since Modi became prime minister is that he is so allergic to criticism that almost the whole media has been ‘managed’. Our vaunted private TV channels sound so much like Doordarshan that it is scary. Boforsgate should make us ask more questions.

Tavleen Singh writes: Recent elections show Gandhi family’s arrogance isn’t popular among votersSubscriber Only
February 23, 2025 07:00 IST
Until the Lok Sabha election, it was Narendra Modi who had such an exalted sense of power that he elevated himself from mere mortal to messenger of God. That did not go down well with the voters. Recent elections indicate that the Gandhi family’s arrogance is not popular either.

February 16, 2025 06:57 IST
If Modi wants to live up to the new slogan he invented in Washington, MIGA (make India great again), he could begin by setting up a series of discussions with his new best friend Elon Musk and get more details of how DOGE works.

Tavleen Singh writes: In Delhi, this was no election, but a referendum on KejriwalSubscriber Only
February 09, 2025 07:15 IST
In last week’s referendum, if there is one person who has lost completely, it is Kejriwal. What he has proved is that he is just like other politicians. And no symbol of hope, a new political culture or a new dream.

Tavleen Singh writes: Welfare schemes may win elections but do very little to make India a developed countrySubscriber Only
February 02, 2025 07:15 IST
When I see real economic reforms replaced today by populist welfare schemes that do no more than fling money at people just before elections come along, I begin to truly despair.

Tavleen Singh writes: Real patriotism versus false nationalismSubscriber Only
January 26, 2025 06:40 IST
It is time for our political leaders to be held to account for the damage they have done and to remind them that spreading poison may win a few elections, but it is destroying India.

Tavleen Singh writes: Why it’s high time for Congress to come up with a new and convincing planSubscriber Only
January 19, 2025 07:10 IST
The way the Congress Party continues to lose elections is proof that this is not working even as a political strategy. It is time to come up with something new and more convincing.

Tavleen Singh writes: AAP vs BJP, and why election campaigning in Delhi is verging on the absurdSubscriber Only
January 12, 2025 07:05 IST
The sad truth is that it is not just in the past decade of AAP rule that Delhi has deteriorated. It is a process that began a long time ago under chief ministers who came from different parties.

Tavleen Singh writes: Introspection needed in the mediaSubscriber Only
January 05, 2025 07:14 IST
We are guilty of lazy journalism. And we have forgotten that we are supposed to be writing that first draft of history and to do this involves taking real issues more seriously than the shenanigans of political leaders.

Tavleen Singh on Manmohan Singh: The man who changed IndiaSubscriber Only
December 29, 2024 07:10 IST
What matters now is that he will be remembered not for his flaws, but for the incredible transformation that he brought about in India with his economic reforms.

Tavleen Singh writes: ‘It was both Congress and BJP hypocrisy on display in Parliament’Subscriber Only
December 22, 2024 06:30 IST
It is my view that the Home Minister spoke carelessly about Dr Ambedkar. But it is true that it had become fashionable to chant Ambedkar’s name by those who only sought to use it as a political tool at election time.

Tavleen Singh writes: A personal request to our Members of Parliament — grow up pleaseSubscriber Only
December 15, 2024 03:00 IST
In a country in which most people are illiterate in the ways of democracy these are dangerous ideas to propound because they can end up being believed when their place is really in the garbage bin. So here is a personal request from me to our Members of Parliament: grow up please. Enough.
