Before Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube made their entry in the media market, the PatnaDaily had already registered its presence in cyberspace. It has been a unique platform where readers -- especially of Bihar background -- from all over the world searched for an update and an objective perspective on what was transpiring in Bihar.
Dismantling Global Hindutva (DGH), a three-day online conference (Sept 10-12) was organized by a bunch of academics and Left-leaning activists based in the USA and India. It attracted a lot of attention and triggered intense response world-wide.
In the holy month of Ramadan, president Joe Biden of the United States offered the Taliban Pashtun Muslims of Afghanistan something they were long fighting for -- an unconditional withdrawal of ‘foreign forces’ from their land.
More than a year into the pandemic that is recurring in its third wave, many people I talk to say they are experiencing a lack of motivation. I find that in myself too.

The pace of development in Bihar can be gauged from the fact that it took nearly three months for the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to finally fill up his cabinet. This also meant that Nitish with a new team or the NDA as a winning political front weren't buoyed up with an agenda or action items to embark on immediately following the November 2020 election.
It’s nice to see PatnaDaily back after a brief recess. Running a media outlet during the pandemic must have been a challenge, given the fact that many essential human activities world wide had to be either curtailed or discontinued.
Close on the heels of Mewalal Choudhary, the chickens seem to have come home to roost for Tejashwi Yadav too. A demand has been raised that he shouldn't be allowed to be the leader of the opposition because of his alleged involvement in several corruption and criminal cases.
