• The spectre of spiralling violence: Apocalyptic crossroads? A troubling larger picture | S.G.Vombatkere

  27 April 2025, by S G Vombatkere

  The barbaric Pahalgam terrorist attack of April 22nd 2025 (ironically Earth Day) appallingly targetting Hindus, is shocking and condemnable beyond words.

Narendra Modi and Amit Shah need to talk of justice rather than revenge. Justice (…)

  27 April 2025

  Published in the Harijan 26 November 1938
  Several letters have been received by me, asking me to declare my views about the Arab-Jew question in Palestine and the persecution of the Jews in Germany. It is not without hesitation that I venture to offer my views on this very difficult question.
