It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better educational system, and their parents supported them.
I truly appreciate the stand they have taken, showing dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard n make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go abt it, n the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.
This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. It’s a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated.
Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.

In WB's Rajarhat New Town, the result in Booth 164 has shocked voters. Several of them told @AltNews they voted for CPI(M), votes which have simply vanished. CPI(M) got only 1 vote in the booth. 88% of voters are Muslims. BJP got 97% of the votes
Last time an Arsenal player won the premier league player of the season
top 5 that season:
• 1st: Chelsea (91 points)
• 2nd: Manchester United (83 points)
• 3rd: Liverpool (82 points)
• 4th: Arsenal (67 points)
• 5th: Tottenham Hotspur (65 points)
Guess who ? Henry won with 27 goals . Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking that Rice has been robbed . Bruno deserves it .
400 - Manchester United are now unbeaten in each of their last 400 home league games in which they have led at half-time (W365 D35), a run which began in August 1984. Ridiculous.
Miss you Kolkata!
May you attain your place in world again. You were the reason we thought it was all worth it to lose our lives to free our motherland.
You gave us the hope once as you made us realise how obsolete our Delhi, Agra had become and how we have to face a new brave world with all those powers appearing in ships on our shores.
We saw a dream in you, we saw a life in your streets and bazars. You defined roof on our heads literally and took us out of our muddy huts. It was all a mirage without you. Only possible in lands seven seas across.
How could we learn to trade without you. How could we mint our coins without you. Oh! You gave us our first Seths and honestly all the first businesses to many many business houses of India. A little to my ancestors too. The trips they took to you were always talked about in the family even when they were 50 years before me.
You gave us a joy of urban life. You taught us revolutions. You thought us the value of camaraderie and organisations. In you, we saw our renaissance and our education. You gave us chemicals smelling of nationalism. And your food! The food! Cannot even thank you ever for it.
The culture you made for all the people. The Calcutta Chromosome. The pandals and everything we are aware of. Call me again. Make me see you again. Love me again in your calm sweet dark nights.
Just show your colour one more time. World needs you. Wake up again, Bengal. ♥️
Regardless of party affiliation, Mamata didi deserves a standing ovation for being a FIGHTER. She has fought for every single vote until the very end of the election day. She has fought to preserve her people’s right to vote and remain on the electoral rolls. She has fought the Supreme Court judges that enabled a cruel, mass disenfranchisement process. She fought off political attacks from Delhi, including being addressed as “Ei Mamata” after the earlier “O didi” catcalling. And THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, never ONCE did she give a pass to her personal dignity and the dignity of the constitutional office she holds.
My exit poll! As I leave #Bengal, it would be a disservice not to say this: I have come to deeply admire the way women inhabit space here. There is a quiet, almost subconscious elevation of women as independent beings . something that stands in stark contrast to the entrenched misogyny that still finds resonance across much of northern India. Perhaps it stems from a cultural understanding of shakti. A form of empowerment that manifests here in ways both subtle and profound, unlike anywhere else in the country, even in the south.
Any woman journalist who has covered political rallies across India will recognize the difference immediately. Other states, a crowd is not just a logistical challenge, it carries risk. the inevitability of wandering hands, the violation masked by chaos. Here, the crowds are no less dense, the air no less heavy with sweat and alcohol—but the hands, for the most part, do not grope. Men step aside to make way. When contact happens, as it inevitably does in chaos, there is visible embarrassment rather than entitlement. What you encounter is not chivalry, but something far rarer: equality. And equality feels far more meaningful. Was never a fan of chivalry in any case :)
There is more. Women politicians across party lines campaign with a striking freedom, aggressive, sharp, unapologetically irreverent, often using what would elsewhere be labelled as ‘masculine’ rhetoric. In most states, such behaviour would invite judgment, even censure. Here, it is met with acceptance, applause. What feels liberating to an outsider is, in Bengal, simply normal. What we frame as empowerment here is a cultural undercurrent.
I have covered four elections in this state, and each time I have returned with the same sense of awe. Bengal, meanwhile, ambles on with a certain bemusement, as if unaware of what sets it apart. But it is a big deal. And perhaps the most remarkable part is that Bengal does not think so.
Governments will come and go. One can only hope that this constant endures, not just how Bengal sees its women, but how, in many ways, it doesn’t. ♥️♥️♥️
@outroygeous@SreyashiDey Tell me even if they are arrested what charges can be pressed against them? Sad state of affairs but u can’t justify vandalism. Vandalism is a crime under ipc so even if we shout at them, both of them will clear on their point. At then end common people suffer.
Why is 3 at the back vs 4 at the back a structural contest?
A 3-at-the-back team turns the pitch into 3+2+2/3 shape (3 CBs + 2 wingbacks + midfield/attack variants). Versus a flat 4-back the core battle is: width control + half-space overloads (3) vs wide defensive baseline + numerical balance in back four (4).
