Saurav Das crying that Form 6 is “weaponised” against Gen Z because they asked if his parents were in the 2002 SIR
Bhai, that question is optional & your father is not. If you cannot write his name, you’ll not find him in any roll. That is a you problem, not an ECI’s problem

Today marks 24 years since the 2002 Akshardham terror attack
My piece looks at how Bollywood’s State of Siege: Temple Attack turned a brutal act of terror, into a balanced morality play, erasing the reality of what happened.

Akshardham at 24: When Bollywood turned a Terror Attack into a ‘Balanced’ Morality Play, writes @ADBrahmbhatt, a must-read on the 24th anniversary of Akshardham terrorist attack

Congress is now openly accepting that taking bribes is their 'Dharma'.
Karnataka Congress Minister Shivlinge Gowda says citizens should pay bribes to get their work done on time.
🚨 An 11-year-old minor girl, Anamika Akter , was married to a 22-year-old man and became a mother at just 13. A child is now raising another child. This is becoming a common trend in #Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ☪️.
Mr Pawan Khera, one simple question:
If Adani in Uttarakhand = “cronyism”, then what is Adani in Congress-ruled Kerala?
Your own Kerala CM V.D. Satheesan says Adani is the concessionaire at Vizhinjam, the State owns the port, and the project must be promoted in Kerala’s interest. It operates under a PPP concession agreement.
So which version of Congress should Indians believe?
Adani in BJP-ruled state → “cronyism”
Adani in Congress-ruled Kerala → “state interest”
Same Adani. Same Congress. Different script.🤣
Mr Khera, this isn't a principled opposition to Adani. It looks a lot more like opposition changing according to who governs the state.
“Gautam Sharanam Gacchami” — only when Congress is in power?
The double standard is not hidden anymore. It is on record.
Who appointed you the spokesperson for Hindus, and gave you the authority to apologise for a Supreme Court judgment, @ReallySwara??
Hindus have fought this legal battle for decades.
With absolute discipline, they patiently waited for the courts to decide, and in 2019, a unanimous 5-judge Supreme Court Bench awarded the disputed land for the Ram temple after examining the evidence.
The Court made it very clear. Their decision was based on evidence, not faith alone.
The court also ordered 5 acres of alternative land for a mosque.
Don't shoot your mouth on behalf of the Hindus. They needed the law to decide. And they accepted the verdict. What exactly are you apologising for??
And stop using our pious Shree Ram Mandir to further your limp political career.
"... So for us having three or four pockets (of chip packaging ecosystem) is not a bad idea, but more than that is something to worry about. If you ask me genuinely, I would not aspire for that..
Yesterday, 16 MoUs were signed, and today there were 25 MoU announcements. What you are saying was actually happening within those MOUs: somebody in India is designing chip, somebody in India is packaging chip. Fabrication is not possible right now because it is still coming up, the Tata project is coming up, but maybe by the next to next SEMICON, you will see end-to-end chip design, manufacturing, and packaging all happening here, it maybe coming up with many MOUs and announcements in next to next SEMICON."

A day full of Whitepill at SEMICON India :)
@amargov thanks for pushing me into covering the semiconductor sector.
It was day 1 and hardly CEOs, operation heads, supply chain heads were getting any free time. Crazyy energy. Also my first time at the SEMICON.
India mein koi 5 minutes number Google kar le to doodh ka doodh paani ka paani ho jaye.
RBI surplus to Govt : ₹2.87 Lakh Crores (US$30 Bn)
Total listed bank profits : ₹4.11 Lakh Crores (US$42 Bn)
NPCI - which runs UPI pre tax ‘surplus’ : ₹ 1,888 crores (US$200 Mn)
To nuksaan kis ka ho raha hai UPI se aur kaunsi subsidy de rahi hai Govt UPI pe jo chubh rahi hai?
Cost of running ATMs and cash logistics in India is ₹30,500 crores (US$ 3.0 Bn). If you want to optimise shut ATMs and promote UPI instead.
Any levy on UPI is just tax collection. UPI is the one scientific achievement of India everyone acknowledges par ab tax ki bali chadhegi.
₹2,000 से ऊपर UPI पर 0.5% टैक्स? कांग्रेस का दावा पूरी तरह झूठा है।
₹5,000 के भुगतान पर ₹25 और ₹10,000 पर ₹50 वसूले जाएंगे, ऐसा कोई सरकारी आदेश, टैक्स या consumer charge नहीं है।
14 सितंबर की अधिसूचना ने सिर्फ ₹2,000 तक के UPI और RuPay transactions पर zero-charge protection को स्पष्ट किया है। ₹2,000 से ऊपर के UPI payments पर 0.5% charge तय नहीं किया गया है।
और सबसे अहम बात, UPI users से कोई charge नहीं लिया जा रहा है। Person-to-person UPI transactions किसी भी राशि पर free हैं। सरकार ने साफ किया है कि यदि भविष्य में MDR लाया भी जाता है, तो वह सीमित merchant transactions पर होगा, consumer पर नहीं।
कांग्रेस जिन ₹25 और ₹50 की बात कर रही है, वे किसी सरकारी fee schedule के आंकड़े नहीं, बल्कि एक काल्पनिक 0.5% दर से निकाली गई मनगढ़ंत गणना हैं।
असलियत तो यह है कि UPI को free रखने के लिए सरकार खुद payment ecosystem को incentive दे रही है। FY22 से FY24 तक ही सरकार ने ₹1,389 करोड़, ₹2,210 करोड़ और ₹3,631 करोड़ के incentives दिए। 2025-26 में भी ₹2,196.21 करोड़ का incentive support दिया गया और FY27 के लिए ₹2,000 करोड़ budgeted है।
जिस UPI को मोदी सरकार ने दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा real-time payment ecosystem बनाया, उसे मजबूत और sustainable बनाने की चर्चा को “जनता से वसूली” बताना सिर्फ फर्जी डर फैलाने की राजनीति है।
UPI पर जनता से 0.5% टैक्स नहीं लग रहा।
कांग्रेस पहले तथ्य पढ़े, फिर ट्वीट करे।
Eating a snack during a long meeting is perfectly normal. Why is the opposition making such a fuss over something this trivial?
Don’t they have any real issue to raise against the government? 😭
Two months before Tahir Hussain was convicted in the 2020 Delhi riots murder case, Zubair was still whitewashing him and invoking “bail is the rule, jail is the exception.”
And today, he continues to glorify Umar Khalid as his “hero.”
That tells you quite a lot about the people Zubair chooses to defend 😊
“BAPS isn’t Sanatan.”
That claim collapses when confronted with facts.
BAPS is a Swaminarayan Hindu sampradaya rooted in the Vedic tradition—not a religion detached from it.
Our foundation includes the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and Brahmasutras (Prasthanatrayi), along with the Shikshapatri, Vachanamrut and Swamini Vato. Our philosophy is Akshar-Purushottam Darshan, a Vedantic school based on the teachings of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. (BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha)
And then there is something difficult to dismiss as “BAPS propaganda”:
In 2017, the Shri Kashi Vidvat Parishad, a respected scholarly council associated with Vedic studies, formally recognized Swaminarayan’s Vedanta as Akshar-Purushottam Darshan, a Vedic siddhanta distinct from other Vedanta schools.
Its declaration described the Prasthanatrayi-Swaminarayana-Bhashya and Swaminarayana-Siddhanta-Sudha as sacred texts protecting the eternal Vedic religious tradition.
It further acclaimed Mahamahopadhyaya Bhadreshdas Swami as an Ācārya and contemporary commentator in the lineage of Prasthanatrayi commentators.
And a copper-plated Tamra-patra declaration was presented in connection with this recognition. (BAPS Swaminarayan Research)
In 2019, Bhadreshdas Swami was further honoured in Kashi with the title “Darshanshastra-Sarvabhauma”, and the Akshar-Purushottam Darshan Pith was established there. (BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha)
This isn’t just modern institutional recognition either.
In Sastri Yagnapurushadji v. Muldas Bhudardas Vaishya (1966), the Supreme Court examined the Swaminarayan Sampradaya and upheld the conclusion that it was not a religion distinct and separate from Hinduism. The judgment specifically discussed its Vedic foundation, bhakti, moksha and Hindu philosophical character. (Indian Kanoon)
And what does Sanatan practice actually look like within BAPS?
Nitya puja. Mala. Dhyan. Mansi. Prarthana. Pradakshina. Dandvat. Arti. Darshan. Tilak-chandlo. Ekadashi and other vrat. Ghar Sabha. Satsang sabha. Reading and living the shastras. Seva. Ahimsa. Dharma. Brahmacharya. Bhakti. Guru-bhakti. Respect for parents, elders and all devotees.
These aren’t imported rituals. BAPS itself describes tilak-chandlo as a Hindu Sanatan Dharma tradition, particularly associated with the Vaishnav sampraday. (BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha)
We don’t reject Sanatan Dharma.
We live one of its sampradayic traditions.
Sanatan has never meant that every Hindu must have the same guru, the same darshan, the same form of upasana or the same sampradaya.
Advaita is not the only Vedanta.
Vishishtadvaita is not the only Vedanta.
Dvaita is not the only Vedanta.
Shuddhadvaita is not the only Vedanta.
And Akshar-Purushottam Darshan does not cease to be Vedic merely because it is distinct.
That is precisely what a living Sanatan tradition looks like: unity without uniformity.
So yes—criticise BAPS if you disagree with something. Debate its theology. Question its practices.
But saying “BAPS isn’t Sanatan” while ignoring its Vedic scriptures, Vedantic philosophy, Hindu practices, Supreme Court precedent, and the formal scholarly recognition from Kashi is not scholarship.
It is simply rewriting facts to fit a narrative.
Debate the doctrine.
Don’t erase the sampradaya.
