I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains?

The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Drawing from police files and interviews, the book reconstructs brutal murders while exposing failures in policing, hierarchy, and recognition.
