#आस्था के साथ-साथ अगर #विवेक ना हो तो ऐसी ही जानलेवा परिस्थितियां रच दी जाती हैं.
#केदारनाथ के संकरे पहाड़ी रास्तों पर बारिश के बीच फंसी यह भारी भीड़ और #वृंदावन की गलियों में बांके बिहारी मंदिर के पास उमड़ा यह जनसैलाब वाकई किसी भी बड़े हादसे को दावत देता हुआ नजर आता है.

जब हमारे शास्त्रों और संतों ने हमेशा यही सिखाया है कि "घट-घट में राम" हैं और निष्काम कर्म ही सबसे बड़ा धर्म है,तो फिर लोग इस तरह अपनी जान जोखिम में डालकर इन स्थलों पर क्यों उमड़ते हैं?

दरअसल,अब धार्मिक यात्राएं आत्म-कल्याण के लिए कम और सोशल मीडिया के रील और पोस्ट के लिए ज्यादा की जाने लगी हैं.

Late Irrfan Khan faced big backlash for saying this. I watched this video 4 times & still wondering what wrong did he say 🤔

Maybe, he said Truth that noone ever dared to say. That's why the backlash.

Big respect, Irrfan Bhai.

@sushantsareen Pliant industry is a bigger concern, else you won’t let even a blink with every trampling step

[Anand Prakash @Aprakash111]

@sushantsareen No one is blaming A for what happened to B, the real issue is A lacks courage to critique this, given C has not even declared a full scale war against B, B was into friendly waters with A, A must at least show deep regret

@Schandillia Well most likely around that point of time Buddhism was the only prevalent belief system, Vedic gods were trickling in thru migration from Iran, Syria and Central Asia, not sure but apparently Jainism didn’t find any state patronage by then, had a limited impact

@ARanganathan72 Why not use a better word for Indic belief system, word Hindu is borrowed from Arabs and Turks

पिछले कुछ सालों से मैं @Anurag_Dwary भाई के काम को लगातार एक धुन में रमा हुआ देखता हूँ। जिसे मैं बिना लाग लपेट की गंभीर ज़मीनी पत्रकारिता कहता हूँ। आप बस उनकी टाइमलाइन देखिए, किस तरह वो बिना शोर अपना काम किए जा रहे हैं। काश! हर शहर को अनुराग भाई जैसा पत्रकार मिले। ❤️

@Schandillia “Manufactured misery” and “generational angst” (amongst Muslims hopefully? ) how did you manage both on the same plane ?

Today, on Mahaparinirvan Diwas, paid tributes to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in Delhi.

We will keep working with full vigour to realise his dream for our nation.

Hello @sudhirchaudhary, it is a very good practice to ask questions, wish you had practised this where it mattered.

Anyway, coming back to the question. Why use a VPN? There are many reasons to use one if you can afford it. I have been using a VPN for three to four years. My phone is permanently connected to a VPN, and my laptop is also often connected, including right now while I am writing this post.

I use a VPN provider (Mullvad) which does not log any of my data. This is supported by regular third-party audit reports accessible on the VPN provider's website. A VPN ensures that my ISP or any open network I might use in a coffee shop cannot log my browsing data. I use a VPN mainly as a privacy measure because I do not want my data to be harvested.

We live in a world where data is collected round the clock and algorithms target us in multiple ways. I want to make that more difficult. A VPN is not the strongest method for this. Better tools exist, for example the Tor Browser or a Tor router, but one has to weigh the pros and cons and decide how much privacy and security one wants and how much inconvenience one is willing to deal with.

My VPN provider also supports ad blocking, which makes it harder for ad-tech companies to target me with advertisements. Of course, a VPN does not stop platforms from tracking you if you are logged in to their services, but it still cuts off one major source of data collection, which is the ISP.

I also use a VPN because the Indian government has withheld access to accounts such as HindutvaWatch, which do important work, and I want access to those accounts. I do not want my government deciding what I can or cannot see. It is not their prerogative.

A VPN is one of the many tools I use for my digital hygiene, the same way people use privacy-friendly browsers and tracker blockers. Surveillance capitalism runs on constant data extraction, and tools like VPNs make that surveillance just a little harder.

Of course, people misuse privilege, and there are people who use a VPN to carry out illegal activities and hide their tracks. For example, you are also misusing your privilege. You get your salary from taxpayers' money, but instead of asking questions on behalf of the taxpayers, you are asking questions to the taxpayers. Just because some people misuse their privilege does not mean everyone does.

व्हाइट हाउस के भीतर राष्ट्रपति के सामने इज़रायल के जनसंहार (genocide) और अमेरिका के अंतहीन युद्धों (forever wars) का ममदानी द्वारा उल्लेख करना बहुत बड़ी राजनीतिक घटना है.

@AbhishBanerj why not come up with your own version of history, duly backed by archaeological evidences, texts, primary sources

[Devdutt Pattanaik @devduttmyth]

There is no historical evidence that a man called Chanakya ever lived during Mauryan times. What we have is a story based on later Buddhist & Jain chronicles & Sanskrit plays like Mudra-rakshasa, all imagined after 500 AD...
