After the protests began, some 47 officials of the NTA were sacked in an "overhaul". But why does an agency that holds high-stakes tests, and has a surplus of over Rs 500 crore, run on temporary workers?

History Made! 🇮🇳
Congratulations to Anahat Singh (@Anahat_Singh13) on becoming the first Indian ever to win the World Squash Junior Championship.
A phenomenal achievement and a proud moment for every Indian.
New: Joe Rogan is in pure awe when independent researcher Cassie Coppersmith shows the mystery of the ancient Bahubali statue in India built over 1,000 years ago that stands at 57 feet tall and weighs 2,000,000 pounds:
COPPERSMITH: “The Bahubali statue is the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen with my own two eyes.”
ROGAN: “Holy sh*t.”
COPPERSMITH: “The ears alone are 5 and a half feet tall.”
ROGAN: “Woah. Look at the lips and fingernails on this thing. The precision it was made with is insane.”
COPPERSMITH: “This is over 1,000 years old and they’re still trying to figure out how it was made.”
ROGAN: “Wowww what is this thing?”
COPPERSMITH: “I think this thing was clearly made using a machine. Everything is just way too precise and perfect.”
ROGAN: “This just makes you think what was the peak of advanced civilizations 10,000 years ago. We must’ve lost so much information during the flood.”
COPPERSMITH: “It’s 57 feet tall and weighs 1,000 tons. This is the largest standing statue left on Earth from ancient times.”
ROGAN: “That’s truly amazing.”
COPPERSMITH: “It’s considered a holy site. When you sit up there you feel different. You literally feel like you’re being healed.”
The resignation of the Education Minister is an acknowledgment that accountability in a democracy cannot be indefinitely evaded. It comes after weeks of determined, peaceful voices raised by students, parents and citizens across the country who refused to be ignored.
It also comes after far too many young Indians faced unnecessary police brutality and force for exercising their democratic right to peaceful protest. That should concern every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.
But accountability does not end with a resignation. The deeper failures that brought us here must now be addressed through transparent reforms, institutional responsibility and a commitment to ensuring that no young Indian’s future is jeopardised again.
The students who marched, spoke out and peacefully persisted deserve to know that this is the beginning of reform, not the end of the story.
Hey lady @MahuaMoitra , i remember tagging you multiple times during RG Kar incident to seek justice for another “Children” of you ABHAYA .
But you were defending your govt and the culprits behind mob violence that happened inside RG Kar and on Kolkata Streets every time or either staying shut on that brutal incident !
You have no rights to call the protestors your children ….stay away from using it for your personal benefits .
No one is a fool here unaware of your intentions !
Leave against medical advice (LAMA) is the basic right of a patient and their family to get treatment at their Hospital of Choice
Sonam Wangchuk being denied that and forcefully made to stay in hospital and his wife made to go high court for it shows the basic human rights violation happening openly in front of public !
Tomorrow when the govt remind you about democracy they need to be reminded of what principles and pillars of constitution they followed when the world was watching !
IMPORTANT: While all the focus has been on Sonam Wangchuk, please don’t forget 3 students have also been on a protest fast for 21 days: Neha Bora, Manish and Amrin. Will the mighty Indian state reach out to them? 🙏 (pic courtesy : @atulhowale18 )
India में medical education सबसे बुरे दौर में है।👎
जगह-जगह मेडिकल कॉलेज, यूनिवर्सिटीज खोल दिए गए, बेहिसाब UG-PG की सीटे बढ़ा दी गई।
कॉलेजों में पढ़ाने के लिए faculty नहीं है। NMC के निरीक्षण के समय किराए पर Ghost Faculty बुला लेते हैं और सीटे बढ़वा लेते हैं।
करोड़ो में सीटे बिक रही है और 20-30 हज़ार में थीसिस।
अप्रत्यक्ष रूप से MD/MS की डिग्रिया बिक रही है।

As Sonam Wangchuk's hunger strike draws attention, GD Agarwal's long campaign for the Ganga is being recalled. The IIT Kanpur professor died in 2018 after a 111-day fast against projects on the river.

Don’t understand the need for increase in MBBS seats.
We have achieved the stipulated 1:1000.
India doesn’t suffer from shortage of doctors- it suffers from concentration of them in dense pockets.
Improve infrastructure in Teir 2/3 towns - not just of hospitals but cities in general - would solve the so called shortages.
Anyhow - all this would fall on deaf ears.
Waise bhi Mujhe kya - PG platforms ke toh maze hi hain.

A plea has been filed before the Delhi high court seeking to force-feed activist Sonam Wangchuk as his hunger strike entered its 18th day. It seeks urgent directions to the Centre and the Delhi government to shift the activist to a government hospital as concerns grow over his deteriorating health during an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar.
