So why not ask the BJP defectors from TMC to raise their voices in anguish? Isn’t Bengal a state that has long been considered the gold standard of north Indian art forms. The South has firmly stood aloof to its credit.
Absolutely cringeworthy… It’s an insult to both the artist and the art. Indian missions should ask host countries to put an end to these pointless events.

"And who knows, they may even succeed in deporting me. But good luck deporting an idea whose time has come."

I have fought the neocons and warmongers in Washington for more than 25 years. Throughout, they have tried to silence, discredit, slander, and cancel me. Only recently, however, have they tried to deport me.
At least, that appears to have been the aim of a hit piece in Bari Weiss’s The Free Press, which claimed that Marco Rubio’s State Department was “investigating” me for allegedly seeking to “undermine the U.S.”—presumably because of my opposition to war with Iran.
Yet just hours later, the State Department issued a statement to reporters clarifying that “the State Department has no plans to revoke the green card of Mr. Parsi at this time.” Nor did it provide any confirmation for the central premise of the Free Press story—that an investigation of me existed in the first place.
So here’s what I think happened.

Caution to Yatris.
It has been noticed that fake announcements and advertisements for Kailash Manasarovar Yatra organized by MEA are circulating online.
Beware of such announcements and advertisements.
kmy.gov.in is the only genuine portal for KMY organized by MEA.

The Press Club of India welcomes the Delhi High Court order quashing the FIR and the subsequent Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) against the news portal Newsclick and its founding editor Prabir Purkayastha for allegedly violating provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), which in turn led to prosecution under the draconian Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.
