Mukhesh Choudhary had, perhaps, never bargained for getting the rough end of the stick when he went public with his rant, posting parochial and derogatory comments about a particular community on a social networking site. Last week, the aerospace technical author with Cades Studec Technologies in R T Nagar posted a series of discriminatory comments on his Facebook page. “This is us outsiders who made Bangalore what it is today.

History repeated in 2014 as Telangana voters elected 11 MPs out of 17. If TPS stalled Indira storm in 1971, TRS stopped Modi wave now. The just born State is now in the company of Kerala, Tamilnadu, Odisha and West Bengal in doing so. The division of Andhra Pradesh has changed the democratic premise of Telugu battle for ballot. It has ‘empowered the people’ of ...
