#ManipurUnderAttack

[India Today NE @IndiaTodayNE]

A large number of women staged a torch rally in Imphal East’s Khurai area on August 22, demanding that the National Register of Citizens be updated before the Census is conducted in Manipur. The rally was organised as part of the Campaign for Just and Fair Delimitation’s ongoing agitation over the NRC issue. Protesters also raised concerns over alleged illegal immigration and criticised political leaders for their alleged inaction.

#FixTheSchools

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Delhi: On the death of CJP volunteer's father in West Bengal's Bankura, Cockroach Janta Party Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das says, "We launched a campaign called 'Fix the Schools'... Abdul, a 26-year-old CJP member who had participated in our protests at Jantar Mantar, visited his local government school in Bengal on the 13th and informed the teachers that he would return the next day to conduct an audit. That very night, BJP goons arrived at Abdul's home and beat him brutally. When his father tried to save him, they beat him as well, so severely that he lost his life. We learned yesterday that his father’s condition had deteriorated, and he passed away by evening. This is absolutely condemnable... It is happening because they are anti-school and anti-intellectual... but people do not believe in such hooliganism... When the time comes, strict action will be taken against you. An awakening is taking place at the grassroots level... From Gen Alpha to Gen X and Gen Z coming together on their own to fix their schools. Instead of helping, they are effectively killing people."

He adds, "The BJP needs to understand that such tactics won't work in post-Jantar Mantar India... A delegation, led by Ashutosh Ranka, will visit Bengal. He will meet Abdul and his family tomorrow and urge the police to ensure the strictest possible punishment for the perpetrators. We will not rest until justice is served... Other CJP members will go along with him. Our state-level leaders and central-level volunteers will also join them."

Glimpses from my visit to Kangpokpi District today, accompanied by Hon’ble MLAs, where I received warm welcomes at Gamgiphai and Damdei.

Inaugurated a Dialysis Unit & Blood Storage Unit, handed over an Ambulance & Solid Waste Collection Vehicles, laid the foundation stone of an Observation Home, and distributed Mission Vatsalya cheques.

Committed to better public services, social welfare, peace and stronger community bonds.

SAURAV EXPOSES THE CRACKDOWN PLAYBOOK BEFORE IT UNFOLDS 🔥

REPORTER: Violence and vandalism are being reported.

SAURAV 🎯: Violence has no place in CJP. Outsiders are being planted to throw stones, blame students, and give police a crackdown excuse.

REPORTER: If Sonam breaks his fast, does the protest end?

SAURAV ⚡: No. Sonam’s health matters, but the movement ends only when demands are met. Pradhan’s resignation remains non-negotiable.

REPORTER: What should govt do now?

SAURAV 🔥: Come to Jantar Mantar and talk openly. Democracy means engaging protesters, not hiding behind police force and closed-door meetings.

[Mr Sharma @sharma_views]

CJP WARNS: PRADHAN EXIT CAN BECOME PRADHAN MANTRI EXIT NEXT 🚨

REPORTER: Has govt contacted CJP after the Parliament march?

RANKA 🎯: No talks, no response, no clarity. Govt is under pressure, so it is trying to either settle this fast or derail the movement.

REPORTER: What about FIRs on protesters?

RANKA ✊: No student protester should face FIRs. We are ready for jail. We awakened a generation, and jail is a small price.

REPORTER: What is the roadmap now?

RANKA 🔥: The warning bell has rung. Time is ticking. Today it is Pradhan. If they don’t listen, it becomes Pradhan Mantri.

VIDEO | Delhi: CJP Chief Spokesperson Saurav Das says, “This morning, the police reached out to us again and informed us that Union Minister JP Nadda wanted to speak with us. They invited us to his residence, but we categorically declined. We are not going to anyone's house or office. A 'janata darbar' is being held here, and if the ministers want to talk, they should come to the people. The discussion should take place at Jantar Mantar. At the same time, we are reasonable people. If the government is concerned about security at the protest site, we are willing to meet at a neutral venue near Jantar Mantar. We are still waiting to hear back from them.

He adds, “The government must have the intention to accept our demands. There is no point in calling us for meaningless discussions. Our time is valuable. Thousands of people are still participating in the protest, and we have to manage that as well... The government should clarify whether it genuinely intends to engage with us..."

🇮🇳 In Manipur SIR 2026: Mass deletion of Meitei names observed in Kuki narco region.

180+ Meitei IDP voters about to be deleted from voter list in Khumujamba Meitei Leikai alone after Kuki narcos forced displaced them.

It is expected that it is the same for other areas.

These IDPs are marked as untraceable in the latest SIR 2026. They are forced to flee to save their lives after Kuki narco terrorists started a mass killing campaign in the wake of 2023 violence.

They are now in IDP camps and risk losing their voting rights in their homeland.

Is @ECISVEEP paying attention to this?

What is CM @YKhemchandSingh doing and as always HM @KonthoujamG don’t you have any knowledge of this?

[Lewis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @WaldronLewis]

Elon Musk literally sat down for a 45-minute talk with Y Combinator that explains how to build world-changing companies better than any business school on earth. This is the advice he gave a room full of young founders:

1. Don't try to build something great. Try to build something useful.

Everyone obsesses over greatness. Musk says that's the wrong target. "I didn't originally think I would build something great. I wanted to try to build something useful. I didn't think I would build anything particularly great. Seemed unlikely, but I wanted to at least try." Aim for useful first. Greatness, if it comes, is a byproduct.

2. When you can't get in the front door, build your own door.

Before Musk started his first company, he tried to get a job at Netscape. "I sent my resume into Netscape and nobody responded. I tried hanging out in the lobby to see if I could bump into someone, but I was too shy to talk to anyone. So I'm like, this is ridiculous, I'll just write software myself." He didn't set out to be a founder. He became one because no one would hire him.

3. He slept in the office and showered at the YMCA.

The origin of his first company was not glamorous. "We couldn't even afford a place to stay. The office was 500 bucks a month, so we just slept in the office and showered at the YMCA." He couldn't afford proper internet either, so he drilled a hole through the office floor and ran a cable to the internet provider downstairs. That was the founder of the future richest man on earth.

4. Keep the chips on the table.

When Musk sold his first company, he received a $20 million cheque. His bank balance went from $10,000 to $20 million overnight. Most people would have stopped. He put almost all of it straight back into his next company. "I kept the chips on the table." He did the same thing decades later, over and over. He hates money sitting idle. Money is fuel for the next mission.

5. Start with the mission, then work backwards to make it a business.

Musk didn't start SpaceX to make money. He went on the NASA website to find out when humans were going to Mars, and there was no plan. So he decided to build one. "There had been no prior example of a rocket startup succeeding. A small chance of success is better than no chance of success." The mission came first. The business model came later.

6. He started SpaceX expecting to fail.

He is brutally honest about the odds. "SpaceX started in mid-2002 expecting to fail. Probably 90% chance of failing. When recruiting people, I said, we're probably going to die, but small chance we might not die." The first three launches failed. The fourth one worked with no money left. "If the fourth launch hadn't worked, it would have been curtains. We made it by the skin of our teeth."

7. Break every problem down to physics.

This is the core of how Musk thinks. "First principles means break things down to the fundamental elements that are most likely to be true, then reason up from there, as opposed to reasoning by analogy." His example is rockets. Everyone priced them based on what old rockets cost. Musk asked what a rocket is actually made of, priced the raw metals, and found the materials were only 1-2% of the historical price. The rest was inefficiency he could attack.

8. When told something takes 24 months, break it down and do it in six.

Last year xAI needed a giant computer to train its AI. Suppliers said it would take 18 to 24 months. "It's like, well, we need to get that done in six months or we won't be competitive." So he broke it into parts. Needed a building, so he found an old factory. Needed power, so he rented generators. Needed cooling, so he rented a quarter of America's mobile cooling capacity. He slept in the data centre and ran cabling himself. It got done.

9. Watch your ego-to-ability ratio.

Musk's single sharpest piece of advice for young founders is about staying honest with yourself. "A major failure mode is when your ego-to-ability ratio gets too high. Then you break the feedback loop to reality." Keep the ego small, internalise responsibility for everything, and stay ruthlessly connected to what's actually true. "You want to close the loop on reality hard. That's a super big deal."

10. Chase work, not glory.

His closing philosophy ties it all together. "It's so hard to be useful. The area under the curve of total utility is how useful you've been to your fellow human beings times how many people. If you aspire to do true work, your probability of success is much higher. Don't aspire to glory, aspire to work."

He was ridiculed for years. The press called him "internet guy attempting to build a rocket company." He agreed it sounded absurd. He did it anyway, because a small chance of doing something useful beat no chance at all.

Here's the thing though....

Musk became the most followed founder alive because everything he does happens in public. The launches, the failures, the talks like this one. The companies made him powerful. The personal brand made his every word travel around the world before he finishes saying it.

We build massive distribution and grow personal brands on X and beyond without our clients lifting a finger.

If you're a founder or VC looking for that kind of exposure, book a call below.

We average 1.5M views a week.
