The Uttarakhand poll campaign reveals how much Modi hates the Congress Prime Minister Narendra Modi just loves to hate the Congress. The election season, in particular, sees Modi in a hyperactive mode when it comes to splashing ink on the grand old party. As if an extension of his hatred for the Congress party, Prime Minister Modi, as the superstar campaigner of the BJP, travelled to Uttarakhand to make sure that the people of the small state too develop a dislike for the rival party. Just before the election campaigning drew to a close in Uttarakhand, Modi decided to have a last ditch effort at tainting the Congress one last time before the people of the state queue up to vote. Uttarakhand is home to a good number of defence personnel In an effort aimed at garnering votes of the families of the defence personnel who constitute a large part of the Uttarakhand population, Modi launched himself into attacking the Congress party saying that Congress is “anti-armed forces”. In fact, defenc

It has been estimated that the number of koalas had nosedived to just 92,000 in 2021, from 185,000 in 2001 In a few years from now, people across the world might be pushed to an unfortunate situation where they may have to tell their children that there used to be this cute little marsupial that once roamed the woods down under. The symbol of Australian wildlife, the koala, is at risk of extinction. Australian authorities have been forced to list the koalas as "endangered", as bushfires, land-clearing, drought and disease have majorly reduced the animal’s numbers. Over the past two decades, the koala population has been dwindling, and it has come to a stage where extinction is not far away. Assigning the "endangered" tag to koalas has come as imperative in terms of providing the marsupials a higher level of protection. The Aussie administration has set aside an amount of Aus$50 million, which translates to around US$36 million, solely for the protection and recovery

We have identified top 05 Indian journalists involved in true journalism. They are the only people who are working hard on ground to grab facts. As we all know that India's mainstream media has become a puppet of corporates and political parties, they showcase everything apart from news.  In the last decade or I can simply say after 2012 and onwards Indian mainstream Tv channels and newspapers are working on a dangerous agenda. And this agenda is to convert democracy to dictatorship. In past 07 years of Modi Government rule, we have seen numerous instances when several journalists were caught, tortured, and arrested by the central agencies. This came when these journalists were only performing their duties by showcasing the real facts. In such a situation when entire country lives under fear and nobody has the guts to utter a single word against the ruling party (BJP), there are few brave journalists and anchors who do their duty towards true journalism. We have identified top 05
