When world leaders speak like this about our Prime Minister, it says everything. India under PM Modi is rising, and the world is taking notice.

Today, @BBCWorld headline:
"Elation across Serbia after veteran ruler Vučić concedes to student-led protest movement."
The Serbian President Vučić must have also raised Serbia to the heavens. Today, students brought him down to earth 😉
There are 2 kinds of Godi Media - those who explicitly shill for the BJP and those who pose as 'shubhchintaks'. The second are more insidious and usually feign righteous indignation when faced with comeuppance by an irate public. Exhibit 👇
My memoir is now available for pre-order.
Still Here: A Memoir of Cancer, Grief, and the Audacity of Surviving.
Stage IV lung cancer at 35. Non-smoker. Given six months before the biopsy was even back. Still writing.
This book is the honest account I needed and couldn't find - about what serious illness actually costs, and what it reveals.

The judge who said this is the same judge who gave bail to BJP leader Kuldeep Sengar in Unnao Rape Case
That’s all you need to know about the state of judiciary in India today.
India needs competent administrators, not religious figures running the state.
A CM openly performing and publicising puja while in office is not spirituality, it’s political theatre.

If the cameras weren’t rolling, would the “devotion” still happen?
Mritunjay Kumar Narayan, IAS 1995, is the Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India, aka the man in charge of the #Census , whihg will have anyone considered "suitable" as enumerators. Hold him to account now, not when the deed is done. https://t.co/ibGIa3BkgH

Two men who punched a minor girl then dragged her onto the road, continued to hit her, and ripped her t-shirt got bail within 24 hours. Meanwhile, remand extended for two guys who waved the tricolour. 🤷♂️
12650 is running v v late ... its stopping at every "non stopping" wayside station... because a delayed train does not get priority on a single line. @RailMinIndia wants bullet trains btwn metros, the country needs a network that works in the places in between.
MGNREGA operationalised the Right to Work. Midday meals translated the Right to Food into a tangible entitlement. The RTI empowered ordinary citizens to demand transparency and hold those in power accountable.
There is a reason these rights-based interventions have attracted such fierce ideological opposition.
At their core, they challenge hierarchies of caste, class and religion. They recognise that dignity, food, livelihood and accountability are not favours dispensed by the powerful, but rights that citizens can claim.
The distinction is fundamental. Rights create entitlements and privileges preserve hierarchies.
And for those invested in preserving those hierarchies, the democratisation of rights is deeply inconvenient. After all, a citizen who can demand what is rightfully theirs is far harder to patronise, exclude or control.

Hindu Raksha Dal chief Pinky Bhaiya has claimed responsibility for violence against CJP protesters in Delhi.
In an interview with Outlook’s Gyan Verma, he discusses the attacks, his organisation’s position on the police and the Constitution, its alleged links to the BJP, the criminal cases against him and his vision of Hindutva.
