An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:

My dear young friends,

I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.

This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.

I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.

So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.

To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.

And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.

To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.

With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.

And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

Sonam wangchuk and his homies should look into this i mean it's not a bad advice at all 😭😭😭

I’m sorry Morocco. We all love an underdog story, but we’ve got a job to finish… we have to stop corruption.

I keep on revisiting this. You might not realize the depth of what he said. In urdu poetry, there is a concept where poets view God as a lonely being, so lonely that He created free willed humans for company. Loneliness is a Godly trait & whoever enters its realm meets God there

Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, a Pashtun Pathaan, mobilized an army of thousands Pathaans through the Khudai Khidmatgar movement after Mahatma Gandhi said that the independence struggle needed the courage of the Pathaans. At that time, the Chauhaans aligned themselves with the British

Locals may not know or care that many of them are coming here after committing genocide in Gaza, but be sure that the drug and rave culture they bring will spread among the local youth and will also lead to a local drug economy.

Saying “Who will cook food at home?” right after getting raped, truly tells you the state of women in this country.

the fact that pk clearly exposed blind faith, shattered religious hypocrisy and showed the harsh truth about the society. the backlash it received only proves the film was right

I knew it. Coachella took down the video.

Variety, NME, CNN Brasil, & Pitchfork wrote articles using this tweet.

Reposting it here in clips: the moment The Strokes criticized the CIA, the US government, and the killings in Iran and Gaza.

The sequel to Bollywood’s biggest hit, the violent spy saga Dhurandhar: The Revenge is a naked piece of political propaganda that lacks the momentum of its predecessor.

Muslims always gets the stereotypical terrorist bomber jokes just because of 9/11, yet Americans can bomb countries every year but somehow they're not the terrorists? Somehow they're not the monsters? Okay.
