As India navigates its #GeneralElections2024, Google's role in monetizing disinformation comes under scrutiny. My latest interview with @atRachelGilmore sheds light on how tech giants like monetize platforms spreading divisive content, despite their own policies against it.
@JSMartin1959 That's a strawman argument bud. Qibla is not God's address.
Unity does not require uniformity in every aspect of life. Muslims already have one Qur'an, one God, one Prophet, & one qibla, while the Qur'an itself recognizes diversity in languages, peoples, choices & lol wives.
@JSMartin1959@darab_farooqui The Qur'an doesn't have to use exact phrase for that to be a valid inference. Believers can contemplate on it, it's for us to reason.
Also, if a common direction doesn't foster unity, why do armies march in formation, why do ppl stand in rows & nations rally around common flag?
@JSMartin1959@darab_farooqui It serves as a unifying orientation, symbolizing unity & uniformity. It is not in itself an object of worship. The change was a divine command to distinguish and test believers' obedience.
Islam is all about complete submission to Allah, both in word & deed.
Another Video –
मेरठ, यूपी में कांवड़ियों द्वारा पुलिसकर्मियों की बर्बरता से पिटाई की गई। उन्हें पुलिस जीप से बाहर निकालकर पीटा गया। कपड़े फट गए। एक पुलिसकर्मी का सिर फूटा है। बड़ी मुश्किल से पुलिसकर्मियों ने जान बचाई। यह Video 2 अगस्त की रात का है। बताया जा रहा है कि बाइक वाले ने कांवड़ियों को टक्कर मार दी थी। इस सूचना पर पुलिसकर्मी पहुंचे। पुलिस पर आरोप है कि उन्होंने टक्कर मारने वाले व्यक्ति को भगा दिया था।
Over last decade, more than 94,000 govt schools, almost 25 every day, have been shut down.
For two reasons:
1. Privatize & commodify education for the middle and upper-middle classes.
2. Deny education to poor, producing illiterate zombies who'll become RSS/BJP's foot soldiers.
It's completely baseless to say, unaccounted. People must desist to further the misinformation. Every penny is accounted for and duly channeled to RSS and the cronies.
This regime is hell bent to dismantle every critical institution India had, no one is more anti national than the bunch of frauds siding with Modi and his gang of minions.
95 years of hard-earned autonomy. Now under the scanner, this time the ISI
The Indian Statistical Institute (founded 1931 by P.C. Mahalanobis) is not just another campus. It is one of India’s rare institutions that was built on scientific independence, not bureaucratic control. The ISI Act of 1959 recognised it as an Institution of National Importance while preserving its society-based, faculty-driven character.
The new Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2026 proposes to scrap that framework. It converts ISI into a statutory body corporate, replaces the representative Council with a government-appointed Board of Governors, and significantly curtails the role of the Academic Council. Faculty and the Institute’s own statutory bodies have publicly said this was done with zero meaningful consultation with them.
The government’s pitch is “modernisation” and alignment with IIT/IIM-style governance. Critics inside ISI argue the opposite: it concentrates power, reduces elected academic voice, and opens the door to external interference in academic decisions. They also note that the 4th Review Committee (Mashelkar) did not recommend repealing the 1959 Act or abolishing the Society structure.
This is not an abstract governance debate. Institutions that produce independent data, rigorous statistical research, and critical inquiry need structural insulation from short-term political or bureaucratic priorities. Once that insulation is thinned, it is hard to restore.
Academic freedom is not a slogan. It is the operating condition of any serious research institute. ISI faculty are right to raise the alarm.
Parliament should insist on genuine consultation with the Institute’s own bodies before rewriting a 95-year-old model that actually worked. Another Premier Institute being Saffronised and being brought under RSS Siege.

Ye sab to chamche hain, kadhai ka naam aaye tab toh baat bane.
Mishra ji was handpicked, he's the most trusted officer & direct representative of Modi. So the buck and the bullion all stopped at him.
Sab chanda jama krke jholachhap ke jhole me gaya hai jo phir RSS ke paas.
Super Exclusive--
राम मंदिर पर सबसे विस्फोटक खुलासा।
पहली बार नृपेंद्र मिश्रा की अगुवाई वाली राम मंदिर Construction committee पर सवाल।
27 जुलाई को राम मंदिर के लेखा प्रभारी रहे महिपाल सिंह की SIT को दी गई 'विस्फोटक' गवाही।
पहली बार सामने आई।
"800 करोड़ का राम मंदिर, 2200 करोड़ में बना,
और वो भी 'दोषपूर्ण' बना!!
राम मंदिर के पैसे से, VHP का घर बना!!"
26 जुलाई को SIT ने महिपाल सिंह से ईमेल के माध्यम से मांगी थी जानकारी।
27 जुलाई को महिपाल सिंह ने SIT को दी जानकारी।
महिपाल ने SIT को बताया-
"जगन्नाथ मंदिर, लवकुश मंदिर और रंगमहल में राम मंदिर के लिए फ्री में मिल रहा था कार्यालय, फिर भी चंपत राय ने लाखों खर्च किए।
चंपत राय के आवास पर बिना रसीद दिए ही, राम मंदिर के लिए चंदा लिया जाता रहा। उस राशि की चोरी हुई, पर कोई एक्शन नहीं हुआ।
राम मंदिर ट्रस्ट के पैसों से विश्व हिंदू परिषद की कालोनी में निर्माण किए गए।
राम मंदिर ट्रस्ट के पैसों से विश्व हिंदू परिषद के कार्यक्रम किए गए।
विश्व हिंदू परिषद की कालोनी में रहने वाले लोगों को राम मंदिर के पैसों से मानदेय का भुगतान किया गया।
निशुल्क मिल रहे पत्थरों की जगह घटिया क्वालिटी के पत्थर बहुत अधिक कीमत पर लिए गए।
राम लला के झूले के लिए 150 किलो चांदी आई, मगर झूला सिर्फ 85 किलो में बनाया गया।
चंपत राय ने अनेक विवादास्पद संपत्तियां खरीदी, जिनका कब्जा ही नहीं मिला। ट्रस्ट को करोड़ों का नुकसान हुआ।
राम मंदिर निर्माण का एस्टीमेट 800 करोड़ का था, 2200 करोड़ से ज्यादा का खर्च हुआ।
राम मंदिर का निर्माण वास्तु के विपरीत हुआ।
राम मंदिर के लिए आया मुकुट गायब हुआ। मुकट गायब करने वालों को चंपत राय ने क्षमा किया। कोई पुलिस कार्यवाही नहीं की।"
महिपाल सिंह ने यह भी लिखा- "मेरी दी गई जानकारी पूरी तरह 100 परसेंट सत्य है।"
पूरी खबर @TOPSecret24x7
UP- लखनऊ में स्कूली बच्चों से भरी इस वेन पर कांवड़ियों ने हमला किया था. डरे-सहमे बच्चों के चेहरे देखिये. कुछ बच्चे तो रो रहे है.
चश्मदीद बता रहे है कि घटना के वक्त पुलिसवाले खड़े थे. डायल-112 की गाड़ी सामने ही थी लेकिन चश्मदीदों के कहने के बाबजूद पुलिसवालों ने कोई एक्शन नही लिया.
The loudest statement India has made in recent history was in 2014. It elected criminals to power.
Men who engineered riots and climbed over the dead to get there. Men who tore down a mosque and called it history. Men who stood with the British when it mattered. Men whose own offices didn't fly the national flag for years. Men who pleaded for mercy from the enemy.
The same men who've used the filthiest language on record - at rallies, inside Parliament, on camera, without shame.
And today these criminals, these thugs, these honorable men are offended. Someone used a bad word.
Anyone unwilling to unequivocally reject and condemn the RSS/BJP has already chosen a side: the side of tyranny.
They camouflage their opportunism & cowardice by portraying as "neutral" "a patriotic citizen" "apolitical", these people are worse.
Opposing RSS is the litmus test.
I have noticed that people who preface their arguments with "I'm neither left nor right" often turn out to be right-wingers or fascists. They loathe the left, but are too cowardly to admit that they are rightists. Deep down, they know that it isn't sexy to be a right-winger.
Ain't you aware @RahulGandhi? If you are and still aren't able to do anything, then you're an accomplice and a hypocrite. If you don't know, then you're obnoxiously incompetent
Just effing rein in @revanth_anumula and your government, otherwise, you'll be treated worse than Modi
Tabarra is necessary.
You cannot truly stand with truth while remaining neutral toward falsehood. Dissociation from evil, tyranny & rejecting injustice is the necessary counterpart to supporting justice, good & truth.
Im all for tabarra, one must both in words & actions.
