Editorial Viewpoints

  • All the ancient places and buildings that the Mughal invaders occupied and Islamised should be brought back to their original forms through a project by the Government.
  • Hindus expect that the Central Government should shoulder the responsibility of erasing the history of slavery created and perpetuated by the Mughals, British, and Congress.
