Best Blogs on Indian Politics


Staying on  top of the latest issues in the political realm is important. But instead of turning on the TV, many citizens worldwide are now visiting the Web, social media sites, and niche blogs to get the latest information.
Why? Modern media consolidation means U.S. mainstream news channels are now owned by only a few Politicians. This severely limits the number of voices and investigative journalists that have a platform in our modern media landscape.
Millions of Indians visit these blogs every day, so which ones are the best for news and commentary? Here, News Newton lists our top 5 political blogs, in no particular order:
All keep you informed, but make no mistake, for fiery, as well as intelligent political blog posts written with a genius for springing the unexpected belly laugh, or snark, represents that fine edge of the political Right-side blogs, often pushing the limits of blog commentary to where the Main Stream Media (MSM) dare not go. It's work-safe, so read it and enjoy it.

Most Indian PMs were either nominated, of the dynasty or ended up sitting on the high chair merely by chance. Not so Modi, who has literally fought his way to the top and grabbed the PM's chair.
This was the absolute low point of the AAP. Leading a mob to attack the BJP headquarters has nothing to do with good governance. The gherao and stone pelting incidents have overshadowed their claims of being a party with a difference.
When India celebrated the new year in 2012, most people still expected a UPA3 to be formed after the 2014 polls. Narendra Modi was yet to win his third term as Gujarat Chief Minister and kick start his campaign for the post of Prime Minister.
*****************
The wonders of Gujarat are hard to miss – in newspaper center spreads and TV infomercials. It is clear that Narendra Modi wants Indians to see the development in Gujarat before they go out and vote. The economy is flourishing, the per capita income is the second-best among large states, and new jobs are to be found everywhere.

Arnab: Why has it taken you 10 years to give an interview?
Rahul: Well, that’s not entirely true. I’ve always –
Arnab: Now you’ve probably heard about me.
Rahul: Yes.
Arnab: I don’t ask any easy questions, Mr Gandhi.
Rahul: So I’ve been told.
Arnab: You might not like it.
Rahul: I’m ready.
“Why are poor children so fat, papa? Just look at those bellies.”
Every Indian middle-class parent has dreaded this question and, I dare say, been foxed by it. The question seems so logical in the mind of a child, who with his unprejudiced eyes gathers the daily horrors that are on show, horrors that his parents have learnt to mostly ignore.                                                          *************************

2014.A DECISIVE YEAR  
Mood of the nation is towards a drastic political change. Going by media reports, BJP is likely to emerge as the single largest party. India might give you an opportunity to form next Govt. If you do not perform and deliver, India will not forgive you. Mr Modi, we are ready to accept your Vision of India.
Law is an ass.
Law will take its own course.

Haven’t we have heard these words and phrases so often that we have stopped believing in them?
Power is poison...Rahul Gandhi.

In India, the importance of a person is measured in the amount of inconvenience he can cause to the public.

Technology will affect our lives in never-before ways. Amazon drones will drop off many books. Then users will switch to Kindles, and want to return the paper books. The drones will be used for this too, but eventually they’ll be jobless. Amazon will then sell the drones to the US government who’ll find them useful because the stuff they usually deliver through drones doesn’t come with a return policy.

Though Ramesh is not as serious as above 4 but he writes about politics once a while. His method of madness will be interesting.
This is his list of top blogs every right minded person should read. God Bless India! But as a prospective reader, you're on your own.  
I'm not picking any brainers here due to their large readership numbers and success. And I'm not simply listing friends, or what have you. While Meidacrooks was the initiator of sorts, Anand, more than almost anyone, has taken the form in new directions and on into more established media, too. And between thier posts and rotating worthy space on the right side, you'll know what many political blogs are discussing on any given day.
Enjoy! And the idea is to tell you all  who/what/where we missed in the news hours. Also, stay tuned: We'll have a better display for all of the best state-based political blogs on in the News Newton very near future!
