Full-scale VIP protection for Shinde Sena thug Corporator Ramesh Mhatre in hospital, even as the 2 Doctors he slapped & punched tell me they are receiving threat calls from his goons and are too scared to return to work.

[Karthik Balachandran @karthik2k2]

Shiv Sena corporator Mhatre got arrested,not just because of SM outrage but bcoz:

1. CCTV evidence of assault
2. He attacked a lady doctor and nurse
3. The lady doctor herself was Dalit, so the caste card he tried to play became useless

The guy who got beaten ? No one cares.

BREAKING ⚠️

Shinde Sena thug Corporator Ramesh Mhatra deemed ‘too ill’ to appear in court in person. Clear VVIP long rope for this shameless coward. Fit to thrash doctors, but ‘too sick’ to appear in court.

[Ajay Kamath @ajay43]

If a corporator thinks it’s okay to beat up a doctor, then the next time there’s a pothole in a road in his area, is it okay to beat him?
Asking for several friends

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Shinde Sena thug Corporator Ramesh Mhatre joins me to face my questions on @NDTV. Remorseless goon, fearless in the certainty that nothing will happen to him.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

An hour after grilling the Shinde Sena on my show, an FIR has finally been registered against ruling party thug Corporator Ramesh Mhatre for assaulting lady doctors.

@aravind Just saw this & remembered your post. You're probably right - the shortage is expected to last until atleast Q3 2027 before it gets better.

[Devesh Dembla @DemblaDevesh]

@aravind Narratives often get so focused on a couple of issues that all the positive work happening in other areas get ignored.

[Aravind @aravind]

People around the world may not know: India is opening an airport or terminal every 75 days. Some 80 airports have been built in the last 10 years, more than what India has built in the preceding 7 decades since independence. And the airports look like this.

Mumbai Lake levels improved over the weekend.
Mumbai needs these lakes at full levels on September 30th for water supply to last till May-June 2027.
There is an urgent need to build alternative water supplies for Mumbai via the desalination route.
From the Middle East to Israel there has been a huge increase in desalination plants.
India is lagging this. The water problem in key cities like Mumbai and Chennai can be addressed by a rapid buildout of desalination plants.
Technology and resources are there, the coastline is there. Execution needs to be done urgently.

RT @kushal_mehra: My old car had minor problems because of E20 is a very plausible scenario. But now the social media propaganda whether p…

In case you missed it, we're back right now to levels last seen in Feb, at $67.72 per barrel in July. This is among the lowest in THREE YEARS.

Should consider reducing fuel prices - see the OMC profits in the last three years to realize the oligopolistic price capture.

[Devesh Dembla @DemblaDevesh]

@RakeshK32229480 You've got to admire the ambition as well - Hydrogen cars & so on. E20 execution was a blunder, should've let people choose it vs force it down their throats

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Two Tomahawk missiles, reportedly fired from George Soros's Bedford residence in New York, in a bid to sabotage Shri Nitin Gadkari's infrastructure work, hit the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway this morning. Thankfully, no lives were lost.

[Kamlesh Singh / Tau @kkstau]

Govt saying no proof of any serious damage to cars due to E20.

Where do people submit the damage report?

Short term loss like fuel pumps or long-term damage?

Where will a citizen file claims after the experiment is over?

Who will pay? Insurance companies have said they won't

[anand mahindra @anandmahindra]

Yes, we had a disappointing weekend in cricket.

But at the same time, I often find myself rubbing my eyes in disbelief at India’s growing competitiveness in sports where I never imagined we’d even be globally competitive.

Volleyball. Fencing. Gymnastics. Rowing. Athletics. The list keeps growing.

Yes, we’re far from the top step of the podium yet.

However, something’s clearly changing at the ground level.

Years of effort by governments, both state and central, (outstanding example being Odisha) along with private sector organisations like OGQ and many others, may finally be starting to pay off..

But it is the individual sportspersons, this new generation of champions with grit, resilience and self-belief, who are my #MondayMotivation.

@GabbbarSingh Guess Alpine villages aren't as interesting as an Indian born Irish resident's story

[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

For the last 15 years, I've always had one dream and desire which was to make Indian history interesting for everyone.

In that time period, I have tried writing blogs, long-form posts, stories and threads, to do exactly that.

Some worked, most didn't. But with every post, I always had this nagging question.

Why is Indian history always taught with a tunnel vision. Why is it so fragmented?

Why do we always learn things from the perspective of one empire, kingdom, king or invader.

Why do we never see an all India view of history?

I mean most of us struggle if we are ever are asked this question

1. What was the true extent of the Mughal Empire at its peak?
2. Who were the Cholas' contemporaries in North India?
3. While Muhammad Ghori was fighting the Second Battle of Tarain, who ruled Thanjavur?
4. While Harsha ruled Kannauj, who ruled Assam?

I have always wished there was a simple way to see the political map of India for any year in Indian history.

I have always wished there be a place where

1. One Could Select any year and instantly see who ruled every part of the Indian subcontinent.
2. One could Discover the important events that happened in that year
3. One could select a time period, say 1700 - 1947, and see how the Indian subcontinent evolved in that period.
4. How did one tiny red dot in West Bengal, from a tiny red dot in Europe, somehow came to rule an entire subcontinent of 400 million people,

For years, that idea remained just an idea and a dream because

1. I didn't know how to build a website.
2. I couldn't afford to hire someone who could.

Then Claude Came along.

Thanks to generous support and heavy lifting by Claude, over the last few months, that 15-year-old idea is slowly transforming into a reality.

And today, it has reached a position, where I'm excited to share with all of you, the first sneak peek of https://t.co/6ph2s9Zzl9

It is my attempt to create an interactive historical atlas of India that lets you travel through time and explore the political history of the subcontinent, one year at a time.

This is my attempt to make history interactive and fun.

I'd love to hear what you think.

@MeghUpdates Bhakti hi shakti hai? How much for the post? Genuinely curious

[Devesh Dembla @DemblaDevesh]

@MumbaichaDon So now we're comparing 1D & 1W returns? Fact is Kospi is up almost a 100% in 6M & TAIEX is up around 50% in 6M.
Fact is we missed the AI bus and our biggest export - tech services got screwed.
