SCRAP THE CONSTITUTION!
There are two types of people that believe that the Indian Constitution is a scrap of paper. They are those who deliberately choose to ignore its provisions, or those that are grossly ignorant of it.

DANGERS OF A POST-CHRISTIAN WORLD
I recently read an article “Why are Christians Persecuted Today?” by Mumbai Jesuit Myron Pereira. It was a brilliant analysis that, unfortunately, offered no solutions. It forced me to think.
