Israel-Palestine conflict: India has to clarify which side of history it supports

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat*

'Ruled based' hypocrisy openly visible in 'liberal' democratic' 'spaces' of western media. How long this rule based destruction be allowed in #Gaza? When will #Israel be made accountable for the horrific crime against humanity in #Palestine?
This is an unprecedented crisis purely created by the western world and it's hypocrisy in defining and building narrative about Palestine. A historic issue was kept deliberately boiling so to control puppet authoritarian regimes in the middle east. Even a resolution Regarding #Israel is opposed vehemently by the 'rule based ' colonial democracies.
India has to see which side of the history it supports. Historical facts are that India supported Palestinian right to exist like Israel. We can't allow the killing of innocent citizens and bombing of hospitals. How do you tolerate killing of children.
In this age of propaganda, we need to be extremely careful of forwarding any video or photograph but let us be clear that it is the issue of denial of rights to Palestine. It is not a Jews Muslim issue. The Jews were victimized by the Germans and Europeans but the jews have their anger on Palestinian and this is the biggest irony.
For the Manustream 'tamashbins' enjoying these bombing and killings, I can only say that nothing is bigger than living together and respecting each other's values. We have lived together side by side and for centuries and that is the only solution. Hatred never result in any solution. Israel has best technology but still it lives in uncertainty. It can destroy Gaza but created more enemies than it could handle. The people are now asking question. You cannot keep your country on tenterhooks for ever as democratic societies can't function in military machoism. Ultimately, war has never brought any solution. The real danger is the escalation and it must not be allowed.
Let good sense prevail.

BRICS ends, but Bangladesh's empty chair says more than any declaration

By Nava Thakuria  The 18th BRICS Leaders' Summit, hosted by India at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi on 12-13 September 2026, has concluded with leaders formally adopting the New Delhi Declaration. The gathering, themed "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability," drew Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and other leaders of the now 11-member bloc, along with heads of partner organisations such as ASEAN, the African Union and the Eurasian Economic Union. Diplomats had worked through the final hours to bridge differences — notably between Iran and the UAE over West Asian tensions — before the declaration was signed.

Swaminarayan, untouchability and the 'we are not Hindu' argument

By Rajiv Shah   Following my blog on why the Eiffel Tower authorities should take all the blame for giving in to the Swaminarayan sadhus ’ bizarre demand to “invisibilise” women, including its female staff, during their visit to the internationally renowned Paris tourist centre on September 5, an interesting comment by one of the top academics drew my attention to something I vaguely knew about one of India’s most powerful and richest religious sects.

BAPS, the Eiffel Tower and the curious silence on secularism

By Rajiv Shah   I was a little surprised to see how some of those whom I respect for taking a firm stand on patriarchal issues reacted to the manner in which they responded to the recent incident in Paris, in which women employees of the Eiffel Tower were asked to remain "invisible" on September 5 when 100 BAPS sadhus visited one of the world's top tourist destinations.
