The Lok Sabha results in Baramulla and Ladakh reflect a churning among voters
A unique campaign unfolded in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections in Baramulla, where independent candidate Abdul Rashid Sheikh aka Engineer Rashid eventually trounced National Conference’s Omar Abdullah and Peoples Conference president Sajad Lone. Rashid, leader of the Awami Ittehad Party, ran his election bid from Tihar Jail. In his absence, his sons Abrar and Asrar campaigned for him.
The brothers, both in their 20s, led crowds with impassioned slogans. Each rally began with Abrar’s call: “Tihar ka badla (the revenge for Tihar is),” to which the crowd responded, “Vote se (by vote).” Abrar would continue the slogan with “Zulm (injustice) ka badla” and “Jail ka badla”, each of which would be met with the roaring response of “vote se”.

Simplifying income tax regime
India's Income Tax Act, 1961, is arguably among the most complex pieces of legislation in a country once known for its maze of Kafkaesque laws. Though enacted 14 years after independence, it extended the colonial legacy of antiquated, verbose language—full of ifs, buts and caveats—that made it nearly impossible to decipher, even for experts with decades of experience.

The 12th nerve
As a neurosurgeon, I have often found that the human body, in all its intricate glory, sometimes presents us with puzzles that even Sherlock Holmes would struggle to solve. And there are those cases that aren’t so much puzzles as they are... cruel cosmic jokes.

Oil in Pak? Dig for gold
Donald Trump is mad at India. For reasons galore. We laughed at his claim to have stopped our war with Pakistan; we didn’t nominate him for a Nobel; we are haggling with him over tariffs; we aren't buying his F-35; we do business with Iran; we buy his enemy's oil. Finally, a frustrated Trump said, “I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.”
