Dear UN, Stop acting dumb like Priyanka Vadra😡

Can one UN report tell the whole truth about this war?

Read this thread 🧵

The latest UN Commission of Inquiry report claims to pursue justice. Instead, it presents a selective narrative that minimizes Hamas's atrocities, sidelines October 7, and ignores the systematic use of human shields.

Justice cannot exist when facts are chosen selectively.

[Nirupama Menon Rao 🇮🇳 @NMenonRao]

I grew up on Bangalore’s Brunton Cross Road.

I still live on the same road.

When I first came here as a 15-year-old beginning college in 1966, it was one of the most beautiful streets in the city. Tree-lined, shaded, peaceful. Bungalows stood amid gardens. There were pavements one could actually walk on. It was a residential neighbourhood, not a traffic corridor.

Today, almost every bungalow has disappeared, replaced by apartment blocks. The gardens are gone. The road has become a two-way thoroughfare carrying a relentless stream of vehicles. What was once a neighbourhood has become an artery.

The photographs below tell the rest of the story.

Broken pavements. Open drains. Excavated roads. Construction debris left strewn about. Garbage accumulating around work sites. Hazardous walkways. Traffic forced through improvised bottlenecks. Senior citizens pick their way through rubble simply to cross the street.

For more than a year, the authorities have ostensibly been repairing the road and drainage infrastructure. Yet the result has been months of disruption, chaos and inconvenience with little visible evidence of systematic planning or timely execution.

The issue is not that roads need repair. Every city requires maintenance. The issue is how it is done.

Why are roads dug up and left exposed for weeks and months? Why are drains left uncovered? Why are pedestrians treated as an afterthought? Why are debris allowed to remain on public land? Why are traffic diversions so poorly managed? Why is there no visible sense of sequencing, coordination or accountability?

These are not problems of poverty.

They are problems of governance.

India’s urban crisis is often discussed in terms of infrastructure deficits, but what I see outside my own front gate is something more basic: a deficit of civic management.

We build flyovers, metro lines and technology parks, yet struggle to maintain a pavement.

We speak of becoming a developed country, yet tolerate public spaces that would be unacceptable in much poorer societies.

This is why comments from outsiders such as Peter Thiel, however provocative, sometimes strike a nerve. When he describes India as “messed-up”, many of us instinctively object. Yet standing on Brunton Cross Road amid broken concrete, open trenches and unregulated traffic, one cannot entirely dismiss the criticism.

The uncomfortable truth is that our cities often function despite the system rather than because of it.

What is especially frustrating is that the solutions are neither revolutionary nor prohibitively expensive.

Road projects should be coordinated and completed within fixed timelines.

Pavements should be continuous, safe and accessible.

Residential roads should be protected from becoming uncontrolled traffic corridors.

Traffic rules should be enforced.

Construction waste should be removed immediately.

Public infrastructure should be maintained before it collapses rather than repaired after it does.

Most importantly, citizens should not have to negotiate danger merely to walk down their own street.

The decline of roads like Brunton Cross Road is not simply about nostalgia for a vanished Bangalore. Cities change. Growth is inevitable.

But growth without planning produces disorder. Development without civic discipline produces dysfunction.

A city is not measured only by the value of its real estate, the number of its startups, or the sophistication of its technology sector. It is measured by the quality of everyday life it offers its residents.

Bangalore still possesses extraordinary strengths: talent, enterprise, creativity, greenery and a climate most cities would envy.

What it increasingly lacks is the orderly civic management that allows those strengths to flourish.

Looking at these scenes outside my home, I cannot help but wonder: when did we begin to accept disorder as normal?

And more importantly, when will we decide that we deserve better? #Bengaluru #UrbanIndia #CityPlanning

Today, on the @UN International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, we remember the victims and survivors of the horrific sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 and in its aftermath.

We stand with those who endured these crimes and with those who continue to carry their physical and emotional scars.

These crimes must never be denied, minimized, or forgotten.

HOW BJP DESTROYED ITS BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY IN TAMIL NADU

For decades, Tamil Nadu was considered the one fortress BJP could never break.

BJP expanded in the Northeast.
BJP grew in Bengal.
BJP entered Karnataka strongly.
Even Kerala started showing cracks.
But Tamil Nadu remained politically locked under the Dravidian ecosystem.
Then came K. Annamalai.
And for the first time in decades, the political atmosphere in Tamil Nadu started changing.

→ BJP workers became energetic
→ Hindu identity politics became visible
→ DMK was forced into defensive mode
→ Youth started engaging with BJP
→ Anti-DMK sentiment became mainstream

Earlier BJP was stuck around 2-3% vote share in Tamil Nadu for years.

But under Annamalai, BJP’s vote share jumped to 11.2% in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

That number was not just statistics.
It was proof that BJP had finally found a political opening in Tamil Nadu.
And the biggest reason behind it was simple:
Annamalai stopped playing defensive politics.
For years, BJP in Tamil Nadu behaved like a junior alliance partner.

DMK attacked Hindu traditions.
DMK leaders mocked Sanatan Dharma.
Temple politics became heavily politicized.

But BJP avoided aggressive confrontation because it depended on alliance politics.

Annamalai changed that completely.

He openly challenged:
→ Dravidian ideology
→ Dynasty politics
→ Corruption
→ Temple control politics
→ Anti-Hindu narratives
→ Conversion issues

For the first time, BJP supporters in Tamil Nadu felt they had a leader who was willing to fight instead of compromise.

And the impact was visible everywhere.

→ Massive crowds in rallies
→ Viral speeches
→ Youth engagement
→ Ground cadre activation
→ BJP becoming part of mainstream political discussion

Tamil Nadu BJP stopped looking like only a social media party.
It started looking like a real political force.
The most important thing Annamalai did was psychological.

He broke the perception that Dravidian parties were unbeatable.

That was the real breakthrough.

But then BJP made what many supporters consider its biggest political blunder.
Instead of building long-term independent growth, BJP returned to alliance politics with Edappadi K. Palaniswami and AIADMK calculations.
The same Annamalai who created momentum was removed as Tamil Nadu BJP president in 2025.
Organizational control was taken away from him.
Eventually, he was even sidelined from the 2026 election candidate list.
Why?
Because AIADMK reportedly became uncomfortable with Annamalai’s aggressive politics.

Annamalai was not only attacking DMK.

He was challenging the entire Dravidian political structure itself.

And that threatened traditional alliance equations.
So BJP chose the “safe” route.
Short-term alliance stability over long-term ideological expansion.
But politics never leaves a vacuum empty.
The anti-DMK political space that Annamalai created was suddenly left without a strong face.

And that is where Vijay entered.

This is the irony many BJP supporters still talk about.

→ Annamalai built the battlefield
→ Annamalai normalized anti-DMK aggression
→ Annamalai created ideological momentum
→ Annamalai activated frustrated youth voters

But when BJP softened its stand for alliance politics, that emotional energy shifted elsewhere.

Vijay captured the anti-establishment space.

The space BJP spent years building eventually benefited another player.

This is why many believe BJP’s biggest mistake in Tamil Nadu was not underestimating DMK.

Its biggest mistake was weakening its own most aggressive local leader just when momentum was finally building.

Because political expansion in states like Tamil Nadu cannot happen only through alliances.

It needs:
→ ideological clarity
→ long-term cadre building
→ local cultural understanding
→ strong regional faces

And for the first time in decades, BJP actually had such a face in Annamalai.

But before the battle fully matured, BJP stepped back.

Now the big question is:

Can BJP rebuild that momentum again?

Or did it lose its biggest opportunity in Tamil Nadu by sacrificing long-term growth for short-term alliance comfort?
