A heated argument began and when things escalated, Santhosh got stabbed. There is no political or communal reasons for Santhos's death. Santhosh and the four men were neighbours and grew up together," Inspector Girish said.

Exactly. They did it in many cases. They used to blame CPIM and Congress.

This is why people telling Alcohol and Cigerette injuries to health, It may Kill You. :P

If BJP claims that it's a political murder, then no need of probe. Because they used to kill their own workers and blame others

Political killings are increasing. People should realise that there is no use for killing and dying for political party.

This is a political killing. Current Karnataka Govt is anti Hindu and killing very patriatic + peace loving RSS activists. Mr. Nalin and Shobakaa should call for karnataka bandh and in case action taken they should go for burning whole state. Govt should award 50 lakhs rupees to deceased family and declare him as National Hero and Martyre. He gave his life for the nation and should be rewarded. There is a wrong allegation that he was drunken. He never drink.

Shantanu Gupta’s book on BJP to become part of curriculum in Indonesia’s Islamic University

News Network

February 24,2020

New Delhi, Feb 24: A book on the history of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will become a part of a course in the Islamic University of Indonesia, as the party’s two consecutive victories in India’s general elections has evoked interest among academicians, a faculty member said.

The book, titled Bhartiya Janata Party — Past, Present & Future, Story of World’s Largest Political Party and written by Shantanu Gupta, will become a part of the syllabus for undergraduate students of South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Hadza Min Fadhli, a faculty member at the university, said there was a rising interest in the BJP’s rise among academicians in Indonesia, especially after the party won two general elections in India.

He said the book would be part of the syllabus for undergraduate courses in South Asian studies in the Department of International Relations.

Mr. Hadza said he got to know about the book during a recent visit to India as part of the Kautilya Fellowship programme, organised by the India Foundation. “We in Indonesia intend to further strengthen our relations with India. Therefore, it is important to understand its ruling party. We expect the BJP would also intend to do the same,” Mr. Hadza said.

When asked about the book being selected to be a part of a course in an Indonesian university, Mr. Gupta said global recognition of his work is immensely satisfying.

This book chronicles the history of the BJP which, Mr. Gupta said, described the saffron party as the latest political manifestation of the various nationalist movements that the country has seen.

Mr. Gupta has authored five other books, including a biography of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and a book on football in India.

Stupidity of faculty.

They should know the reaction of Malaysians to BJP's attrocities.

When Malaysia outright knows BJP's agenda, they reacted.

This decission of Indonesian faculty shows clear stupidity and his mental stability.

God give wisdom to Indonesians

Mangaluru, May 19: Officials at the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) said that Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada along with Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru have been alerted about possible heavy rains.

Dr GS Srinivasa Reddy, Director, KSNDMC, said, “Coastal districts have already been witnessing heavy downpour since Monday morning. This will continue for another two days depending on the cyclonic movement along the east coast.”

Until last evening, Haleyangadi and Surathkal in Dakshina Kannada district had received 83 mm and 82.5 mm of rainfall, respectively. Several other areas in Udupi also witnessed heavy rainfall of about 60 to 70 mm rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the rain, which intensified on Monday, to a cyclonic circulation over parts of the Arabian Sea (Comorin area) off the coast of Kerala.

The weather department said the sudden convergence of wind over the peninsular region was due to Super Cyclone Amphan, which is set to barrel into the east coast. The IMD issued an Yellow Alert for coastal Karnataka and Malnad, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall in the next few days.
