modern travel is increasingly flying 10 hours to experience a slightly different version of the same globally optimized lifestyle.

same third wave coffee. same natural wine bar. same brutalist menu. same sourdough. same beige hotel. same tasteful ceramics. same instagram lighting.

what a ridiculous convergence.

In my latest #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress, I argue against the Government’s plan for a 850-seat #LokSabha, writing that “An oversized legislature where the vast majority of members have no voice suits an executive that prefers compliance over scrutiny”. There are, I point out, much better ways of addressing the representation-delimitation conundrum:

The CBI probe was ordered by Dr Manmohan Singh himself.
“Let the truth be known to everyone”, he said after giving orders. Some of us in the PMO were worried about the negative headlines next morning.
But his wisdom - and integrity- has stood the test of time.

All those who reviled and blamed him should apologise to his family.

During UPA govt, Sony TV did a comedy show where they mocked Dr Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi

They literally trolled Sonia Gandhi for her accent and weaker grip on hindi 💔

But Congress never played victim card, and didn't run after the actors or producers

INC used to take jokes, abuses, trolling everything with smile on faces. Never claimed that trolling a politician or PM was like going against India

That's the difference

आज बड़ी संख्या में बजरंग दल के कार्यकर्ता पड़ोसी राज्यों से दिल्ली और नोएडा इलाकों में सड़कों पर उतर आए हैं और जहां भी उन्हें कॉकरोच आंदोलन से जुड़ा कोई युवा दिखता है, तो वे उसे बुरी तरह पीट रहे हैं..

पुलिस हर जगह अब मूकदर्शक बन का तमाशा देख रही हैं।

There seems to be more outrage on kids abusing leaders, than about leaders abusing power.

[Ishaan Tharoor @ishaantharoor]

I agree young kids should not be on social media at all. But India needs to ban Boomers on WhatsApp first before it does anything else

20 जुलाई को दिल्ली में शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन कर रहे 19 साल के साहिल के चेहरे पर दिल्ली पुलिस ने पेलेट गन से हमला किया।

साहिल दिल्ली विश्वविद्यालय का छात्र है मगर परिवार को सहारा देने के लिए वो पार्ट-टाइम कार भी चलाता है। वो खुद 2025 के SSC दिल्ली कॉन्स्टेबल पेपर लीक का शिकार है। अब उसे डर है कि SSC ने फिर से उसी एजेंसी को ठेका दिया है और फिर से पेपर लीक हो जाएगा।

इंसाफ़ और बेहतर भविष्य की मांग के साथ वह प्रदर्शन में शामिल हुआ था। आज हालत ये है कि उसकी एक आंख की रोशनी हमेशा के लिए जाने का खतरा है।

ये सज़ा मिलती है हमारे छात्रों को सवाल पूछने और जवाबदेही मांगने की।

हम साहिल के साथ हैं। हम जवाबदेही मांग रहे हर छात्र के साथ हैं।

मोदी जी, देश के बच्चों से अपने इस गुनाह की माफ़ी मांगिए, इसके दोषियों पर कड़ी कार्रवाई कीजिए और धर्मेंद्र प्रधान को तुरंत बर्खास्त कीजिए।

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

This is utterly appalling. Even in the days of the JP Movement leading up to the Emergency, there was no bar by the @UnivofDelhi on students joining any of his protests, and a couple of members of my Union Cabinet at St Stephen’s, including the late Chandan Mitra, openly did so.

If one of India’s foremost public universities is allowed to threaten its students and faculty with significant consequences if they attend a protest, it has a chilling effect on democratic speech and expression. Most DU students are not so privileged as to ignore such a sternly-worded warning without fearing that their academic or professional prospects might suffer if they attended the protest.

A university is meant to teach critical thinking and independent assessment of issues, not to stifle these very qualities. Shame on those at the @UnivofDelhi who saw fit to issue such a tweet. They are unworthy of holding any position at an institution of higher learning in a democracy.

The PELLET GUN story that has shaken up the political class and is likely to echo in Parliament : Good to see that tv news can still do stories that make an impact. Well done @vijaita of @the_hindu who was first to report this. And @InkSleuth of @IndiaToday who nailed it with documents. Asli Journalism zinda hai! 👍 https://t.co/rH8hTIiFs3

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

In my latest #TharoorThink column in the @IndianExpress, I discuss the government’s mishandling of the student protests this week and demand an urgent course correction. Our students should not be battered and bruised in the streets before their voices can be heard in Parliament.

[Awesh Tiwari @awesh29]

एक छोटी सी बात समझिए। जिस जगह प्रदर्शन हो रहा है उसके पास कनॉट प्लेस के हनुमान मंदिर समेत कई मंदिर हैं। यह मंदिर जनता के चंदे से चलते हैं। यह दीगर है श्री राम जन्मभूमि में चंदा लूट लिया गया।

जंतर मंतर पर प्रदर्शन के दौरान पुलिस के लाठीचार्ज से बचने के लिए हजारों नौजवान हनुमान मंदिर गए, लक्ष्मी नारायण मंदिर भी गए। सभी जगह दरवाजा बंद कर दिया गया और फिर थक हार कर यह सभी गुरुद्वारे में पहुंचे।

गुरुद्वारे के सेवादार दरवाजे के बाहर खड़े हो गए और पुलिस को भीतर नहीं आने दिया। अच्छा खाना दिया, सोने की जगह दी। मंदिरों ने अपना धर्म नहीं निभाया।

This was published on Sunday . I am now absolutely convinced that out of this churning a sea change will happen .

Every opposition MP who sold himself or herself and defected to the government should hang their heads in shame.
These young people are facing brutality in the streets because the people they elected to represent them were greedy little cowards who took the cash & switched sides

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

INTERESTING: Dont forget it took the CJI’s reference to the word “cockroach” to finally trigger youth protests. Now when videos of students allegedly being beaten or dragged were cited, the court says it has no time to watch them. Makes you wonder: what does our justice system choose to prioritise? 🙏

[Mr Sharma @sharma_views]

SAMDISH SHOWS HOW POLICE BRUTALITY CRUSHED DISSENT 🚨

Students came to Jantar Mantar asking questions on education, paper leaks and accountability. What followed was pure police brutality.

A woman was beaten by male officers. Students were pushed, chased and hit. Samdish himself took lathis while recording what was happening.

Even after being hit, he kept saying: this is not about media privilege. No citizen should be beaten like this in their own city.

This was the state crushing dissent in full public view.

Jantar Mantar became the place where students asked for dialogue and power answered with lathis.

इस से ज़्यदा शर्म की बात क्या ही होगी @DelhiPolice के लिए ।
