I transferred ₹8,000 to a stranger after accidentally brushing his car.
Yesterday, he sent it back.
Here’s what happened.

Instead of asking why opposition leader hasn’t supported CJP, or why every CJP team member isn’t on a hunger strike alongside Sonam sir, ask the questions that actually matter.
Why is the Prime Minister refusing to engage in a dialogue? Why is the Education Minister still not being held accountable?
These are the questions that deserve answers, not distractions that only help shield those in power from accountability.
🚨#ImportantAnnouncement
On 9 and 10 July, Abhijeet Dipke and I, on behalf of the Cockroach Janta Party wrote to several political leaders across party lines and ideological divides, inviting them to Jantar Mantar to stand in solidarity with the youth of this country and Sonam ji, who have now been peacefully sitting in protest for the past 25 days. We also requested a meeting with our delegation. The complete list of leaders is attached, including the Leader of the House in the Rajya Sabha, @JPNadda ji, and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, @RahulGandhi ji.
Even before these letters, and in the days since, several political leaders from the list and their party members have extended their support to our youth movement. Many have visited Jantar Mantar, while others have invited our delegation for discussions. We sincerely thank each one of them for standing with India’s youth.
We continue to await responses from several others.
We again sincerely appeal to the leaders to keep aside their politics and lend to lend their voice to the voice of the young. This movement is about an entire generation demanding accountability for examination paper leaks, recruitment failures, and justice and compensation for the families of students who lost their lives at the hands of this corrupt, broken education system.
History will remember who stood with the youth when they called for justice. We only appeal that all of us stand on the right side of history. ✊🏻

"Here’s a number that should embarrass a functioning democracy: @newslaundry and @thenewsminute have had over 250 hearings over the years. 250. Read that again. And going to court over and over again is exhausting. It takes money, time, and a lot of emotional energy. For news platforms, you’re not just supporting our #journalism, you’re supporting our right to exist"- @AbhinandanSekhr
A certain Mr @Bazmccullum has just been relieved of his duty as the Head Coach of @ECB_cricket men’s test team. He is also apparently the first player to score a century in IPL in the inaugural game in 2008. He also coached @KKRiders Enough establishing his credentials, @BCCI I’m sure some of your senior folks are in England. If they have had their share of Strawberry Cream, ask them to reach out to the man.
Mr. @prasoonjoshi_
Can you please enlighten us on why 127 cuts were recommended for the film Panjab '95?
The same film, now renamed ‘Satluj’, has been taken down from an OTT platform in less than two days. The CBFC has no jurisdiction over OTT platforms or international releases.
Panjab '95 tells the story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a man who exposed documented human rights abuses and paid for it with his life. If a film based on documented facts cannot be seen by Indian audiences, then the public deserves to know why.
This sends a very direct message to filmmakers and production companies: if you're paying homage to a great personality from a minority community, you'll have to face the CBFC.
Journalists should be asking the people running this censor board some hard questions. Why are some politically insensitive films able to pass with ease while others spend years in limbo?
A red carpet for Kashmir Files, Bengal Files, and Kerala Story. Roses for Dhurandar 1 & 2, a fictional documentary/explainer for the unthinkable and the unexplainable.
How does it feel to feast on four years of a director's career?
In Nehru's India, this would have been litigated in court. If filmmakers cannot tell the stories of people who stood up for justice without years of obstruction, what kind of cinema are we encouraging them to make?
Jaswant Singh Khalra Abducted again,

दिल्ली, शुक्रवार, दोपहर करीब 12 बजे
मुंडका Industrial Area में एक फैक्ट्री के सेप्टिक टैंक की सफाई के दौरान जहरीली गैस की चपेट में आने से तीन मजदूरों की दर्दनाक मौत हो गई.
शुरूआती जांच में पता चला कि एक मजदूर चांद, 42, सेप्टिक टैंक में उतरा था. जहरीली गैस की चपेट में आने के बाद वो बेहोश होने लगा तो अरुण, 38, उसे बचाने के लिए नीचे उतरा लेकिन जहरीली गैस ने उसे भी संभलने का मौका नहीं दिया. इसके बाद संदीप, 32, ने दोनों को बचाने के चक्कर में दम तोड़ दिया.
चाँद की ढाई साल की बेटी और आठ महीने का मासूम है. संदीप की एक 12 साल की बेटी है. अरुण के तीन छोटे-छोटे बेटे हैं... सब के सिर से पिता का साया छीन लिया गया.
तीनों बिना दस्ताने, gumboot, फुल बॉडी PPE kit, हेलमेट, harness और गैस डिटेक्टर के टैंक में उतरे. वहां ऑक्सीजन level की जांच भी नहीं हुई. कानून के मुताबिक बिना सुरक्षा इंतजाम के सीवर या सेप्टिक टैंक में उतरने पर रोक है. #SupremeCourt ने इस पर कई बार साफ़ निर्देश दिए हैं.
केंद्र सरकार ने भी माना कि 2017 से मार्च 2026 तक देश में 622 मजदूरों और दिल्ली 62 मजदूर ऐसे हादसों में अपनी जान गंवा चुके हैं.
मैं पिछले पच्चीस साल से लगातार इस मुद्दे बोलता और लिखता रहा हूँ. कई रिपोर्टस भी कीं. भारत में सिर पर या हाथ से मैला उठाने को रोकने के लिए 2013 से देश में #ManualScavenging है. कानून बना तो उम्मीद जगी कि अब ये प्रथा ख़त्म होगी लेकिन ऐसा नहीं हुआ.
दो साल पहले इस विभाग के केंद्रीय मंत्री से इंटरव्यू किया और उनसे इस बारे में कई सवाल पूछे. मैन्युअल स्केवेंजिंग को मशीनीकृत करने पर बात की उनको देश और विदेश में इस्तेमाल की जानेवाली मशीनों के बारे में बातचीत के बाद बताया. लिखित नोट भी दिया, पर हुआ कुछ नहीं.
इस पर जोर से आवाज़ उठनी चाहिए. ये प्रथा ख़त्म होनी चाहिए.
The more I see and hear @abhijeet_dipke, the more my respect for him grows.
Just 45 days ago, he probably wouldn’t have imagined that the movement would become this big. What started as a satirical campaign has now taken the shape of a nationwide movement, bringing together thousands of young people to raise questions around accountability, transparency and issues that directly impact their future.
More power to you Abhijeet.
Respect.
@MasalaBai 100% correct. These opportunists are way more dangerous than the bhakt right wingers.

Amaira’s family came to our protest today, on her birthday, with food for the students who are protesting.
Amaira was just 9 years old when she died by suicide after being bullied at school. The school was Neerja Modi School, one of Rajasthan’s biggest schools.
After Amaira jumped from the fourth floor, the first thing the school administration did was clean the blood from the spot so that the media and others could not see it.
Eight months later, Amaira’s family is still fighting for justice. Yet no action has been taken against the school administration, the principal, or the teacher.
Today, on Amaira’s birthday, CJP pays tribute to her. We will stand with her family until she gets justice.
Happy Birthday, Amaira.

Passport lets you travel from India.
Voter ID lets you vote in India.
PAN lets you pay taxes in India.
Aadhaar lets you reside in India.
You can have all four.
You can live here, travel, pay taxes and even vote.
But you still can't prove that you're a citizen of India.
What da?

Important for public information!
I would like to update that the third paper on cow research, funded using India's public money under the SUTRA-PIC (Scientific Utilization through Research Augmentation - Prime Products from Indigenous Cows program) has undergone exhaustive post-publication peer review.
The paper was published in Biochemical Engineering Journal this year. The authors are from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Dhanbad (Jharkhand).
This is the paper:
https://t.co/9niHoCSvEO This study was done in Jharkhand and the total amount of public money given was INR 36,16,859/- (~38500 USD).
As per the study, the researchers transformed ordinary cow dung into a specialized carbon material that highly effectively soaks up toxic chromium pollution from water. Instead of throwing away this metal-filled waste, they successfully reused it to build a working, long-lasting energy storage device called a supercapacitor.
Well, they did not. They made it all up.
Here is a plain-language summary of the fatal flaws found in the paper:
🟡The authors claim their material successfully absorbed a massive amount of toxic chromium—roughly 22% of its total weight. However, their own chemical scan shows the final product contains almost zero chromium (0.09%), making their main conclusion physically impossible.
🟡After testing this material in a battery setup that contains absolutely zero chromium, the reported amount of chromium inside the material mysteriously multiplied by 47 times (from 0.09% to 4.24%). Elements cannot spontaneously generate out of thin air, which strongly indicates the data was fabricated.
🟡The fundamental thermodynamic math used to prove how the material captures pollutants is entirely broken. The reported numbers for energy, heat, and entropy literally do not equal each other when plugged into standard physics equations, heavily suggesting the results were manually made up.
🟡The paper claims hard statistical proof that one type of cow dung is superior to another, but the actual difference between them is a fraction of a percent and mathematically insignificant. Furthermore, the statistical "p-values" they reported are mathematically incorrect for the tests they claim to have run.
And one more point which requires professional image manipulation software for checking - which me or the helping team did not have access to)...
🟡The photos intended to show the physical "coated" battery electrodes appear to be digitally faked. The frayed edges and tape cuts match the uncoated metal so perfectly that it looks like solid black boxes were simply photoshopped over the original image (this is only a basic allegation, needs confirmation).
With this review, I am stopping further such analysis on these so-called cow-research science papers glorifying Indian tradition. These "researchers" and "scientists" should be ashamed of themselves. Real science requires truthful validation, not beggarly applause or promotions from the hands of the "agenda-driven" masters that feed you.
All three papers criticisms have been uploaded to Pub-Peer and official notifications sent to the respective journals and their research integrity teams. Two papers are already under investigation by respective journal.

The science community in India must fight tooth and nail to prevent AYUSH pseudoscience infiltration into their revered STEM institutions. This is not a good thing, moving forward.
Multiple scams are happening in the country, ask the right questions to those who are responsible, hold the authorities and the government accountable for their failure to deliver as promised... 7/7
#NEET
All those commenting on the lack of tardiness of the NEET aspirants who missed the exam are the same very people who argue at check in counters at the airport after coming late for their flight. These are the same people who ride bikes without helmets and hand over 100 Rs as bribe to the traffic police. 1/n

One thing that one can do this year is at least being empathetic to the students. They are the victims here, not you, nor me and definitely not NTA, CBSE, Education Minister or the GOI. And if you can't be empathetic, DO NOT attack the students for they are the soft target... 6/n
