Qatar on Eid:
Do not perform the namaz in open outdoor areas; pray inside Mosques. Limit women's attendance as much as possible, as Eid prayer is not obligatory.

Al Jazeera (owned by Qatar):
India is restricting public prayers and telling Muslims to pray in Mosques.

When an Islamic country does it, it becomes a guideline. But when a non-Islamic country does the same thing, it is labeled Islamophobia.

One of the most powerful symbols of India’s unbroken civilizational continuity!

Discovered at Mohenjo-daro in undivided India this steatite seal, about 4,300-year-old, shows a seated figure in yogic posture (widely seen as Shiva-Pashupati) seated in Mulabandhasana, surrounded by animals.

While ancient sites may lie across modern borders, India remains the living custodian of this heritage. The yogic posture, Shaivite symbolism, and spiritual ethos seen in the Pashupati Seal continue to thrive in India’s temples, daily worship of Shiva, yogic traditions, and cultural life even today.

From the Vedic period to contemporary Bharat, this civilizational thread has remained alive and unbroken — deeply embedded in our philosophy, rituals, and collective consciousness.🇮🇳

With a Heavy Heart I am sorry to inform you that for the next few days we will have restricted timing at Vasant Kunj Delhi, we have been asked to shutdown at 10PM, and hence we may not be able to service your Dinner orders after 9PM

@CPDelhi has a bunch of people who think they can crush every citizen like a 🪳 but we are made of a tough skin, we will fight this till the end

@LtGovDelhi you will not answer here - putting pictures of visiting people and meeting people is useless if you want to use Twitter as one way communication, we expect better

@dcp_southwest you owe us an answer to this intolerance shown, not accepting complaints, nor giving us a hearing.

All Because we refuse to pay a Bribe

[Gagandeep Singh Sapra @TheBigGeek]

Three officials came in today (~ 9:40PM 27/04/26) —two in uniform, one of them a senior officer with three stars, and one in plain clothes. Their primary concern seemed to be why we are operating a multi-brand setup.

The explanation given to us was that there have been thefts in the area, and therefore we cannot operate at night. According to them, if we want to continue operations, we must first hire private security guards and station them at the building. Their reasoning was explicit: the police are not there to work for us—we need to arrange security outside our building, so there are no thefts in the area.

The logic being applied is difficult to accept: if people are working, thefts will happen; if no one is working, thefts will stop. By that reasoning, we might as well not step out of our homes, because otherwise their workload increases.

As of now, we have shut operations for the night in Vasant Kunj. This has real consequences—six skilled, handpicked team members are sitting idle and worried about what comes next. These are hardworking individuals focused on delivering quality food, not people who deserve to be treated like criminals.

While there was no physical intimidation this time, and the tone was somewhat softer, there was still no clarity or actionable direction on what exactly is required. The messaging remains inconsistent. Until yesterday, we were told to show permission for 24x7 operations; today, we are being told to first hire guards and then discuss further.

There was also a call made to our munshi instructing us to shut down immediately—“band karo, pehle guard rakho, phir baat karenge.” It leaves us in a state of confusion.

Interestingly, there is a QuickCom store in the same building that operates 24x7 with guards in place. We are unsure whether they were also asked to shut down. This area is otherwise a hub of activity, yet the approach seems to be to reduce activity altogether in response to thefts, that they failed to foil.

My personal belief is the opposite: a city that runs 24x7 is safer 24x7. It is the inactive, empty areas that create opportunities for crime.

Today’s interaction carried more of a “soft pressure” approach—no explicit orders, but clear signals to shut down or face consequences. The tone is still not appropriate. Authority is being asserted without accountability. The senior officer spoke to everyone, while the plain-clothed individuals entered kitchen areas freely. This raises serious concerns—these are hygiene-sensitive spaces, and unauthorized entry without basic precautions like hairnets is unacceptable. But realistically, they don't care.

There was no demand for a bribe during this visit.

However, the earlier warning—that our staff could be detained—was subtly repeated again in the evening.

This would imply US giving indirectly encouragement and cover to Pakistan to stage a significant terrorist attack against India.

Should Pakistan sponsor such an attack, India will respond irrespective of Trump’s softness towards Field Marshal Munir.

Actually, US should in the first place put all its weight behind curbing such adventurism by Pakistan.

As a Muslim, I find it strange how ‘annihilate Hinduism’ is packaged as academic discussion. Try flipping the religion and see how fast the global response comes.

If annihilation of a religion becomes acceptable language, we’ve already failed the idea of coexistence.

This is what @peyushbansal tells his employees, hijab is okay, but bindi/tilak/Kalawa is not, for @Lenskart_com, a company that exists in Hindu majority Bharat, where most of the employees and consumers are Hindu!

The more I read about this case the more I feel so sorry for this man

He was 27. She was 42

Met in Gym. Personal training became a personal relationship

Matter went to police 1 year ago. This lady and her husband apologised & she said she won't contact him. He also said he will maintain distance

But allegedly it continued where his family claims he was blackmailed & threatened

He had noose tied & she was on video call. She messaged his sister casually, only asking her later to check on him. By then he was gone.

His sister claims she showed him her baby to make him emotional

His father claims she demanded that he transfers their house in her son's name

Not sure if these allegations by family are true but it's sad he became so emotionally distraught that he thought ending it all was the only solution

He won bodybuilding events but couldn't win the mind battle

I am now aware of so many cases where consensual relationships like this eventually became threats of rape case because the man didn't want to continue. Neither she would get out of marriage which she claims is toxic nor let the man leave

Strongest of men break down when they fear their entire family would be implicated in such cases causing them suffering for no fault

Earlier it was 498A
Now it is section 69, false promise of marriage allegations

So many lives gone

If she's responsible, just hope he gets justice

[Lt Col Sushil Singh Sheoran, Veteran @SushilS27538625]

Deja vu—history repeats itself. Hear it firsthand from the wife of Brigadier who was assaulted in Delhi. This mirrors exactly what happened in the Col Baths case: in that instance, the police were the perpetrators; in Delhi, they merely watched. It is crucial to note that as soon as the policeman spoke to someone from the perpetrator's phone, his attitude changed. Ladies and gentlemen, India is witnessing unprecedented economic growth, with wealth consolidating in the hands of a few. These newly affluent individuals are buying influence within law enforcement, showing no fear—only the intoxicating power of money. If you do not fear the armed forces, then you truly pose a serious threat.

[कर्नल Danvir Singh, Sena Medal Gallantry @danvir_chauhan]

I just spoke to the Brigadier…. A serving soldier who after dinner was taking a walk outside the society premises with his IITian son.

These Mercedes Benz Goons were consuming alcohol in public. On being objected, the Brigadier & son were assaulted by the 7-8 accomplices of these antisocial elements who were close by and called in by the car-O-bar duo.

Brigadier and his son sustained injuries in the scuffle that ensued….. Don’t be shocked, the police was also present.

I wonder how the society and the police conducts itself is shocking more so in the national capital.

Brigadier in his younger days was part of numerous operations in the hinterland of Kashmir and also trans LC.

Least he would have ever thought off that one day he will be on the receiving side fighting the evil in the society he once risked his life for, while the police kept itself as mute spectator.

FIR has been lodged after running around, a glimmer of hope. I am sure the culprits are made a specimen and the case be a deterrent for other antisocial elements.

#WATCH | Delhi: Wife of Army Brigadier, Nitasha says, "On 11th April, around 9.45 PM, my husband and son went for a walk outside... They came back searching for his mobile and mentioned that two people were sitting in a Mercedes car and they were consuming alcohol. My husband and son tried to explain to them that this is a respectable society, and you are not supposed to do this. They started using abusive language and passing certain illicit comments, as I was also there. We called the PCR vehicle... The cop came, and he was about to take my statement. This individual, who was in the driving seat, made him speak on his mobile to someone. The cop came back, and he refused to write my statement... 7-8 goons came out from a cab, and started assaulting both my son and my husband. I went back to the cop who was sitting in the PCR van, requesting him for some assistance. But he refused... At around 10.45 PM, we went to the Vasant Vihar police station. There was a lady cop there who misbehaved with us, saying that we troubled them in the night... The PCR cop had reported to the police station the wrong vehicle number... We were not provided any medical assistance. Finally, we were able to give a written complaint to them at 2.13 AM..."

[Nirupama Menon Rao 🇮🇳 @NMenonRao]

The world is being reordered by those who act and those who define. If India wishes to be counted among the latter, it must ensure that its silence does not speak louder than its convictions.

We are living through a moment when the rules of the international system are being rewritten in real time. Assassinations of leaders, the killing of civilians, open assertions of force—these are no longer aberrations but instruments. In such a world, silence is not neutrality. It is read, interpreted, and often misread as consent.

India has long claimed a distinctive space in global affairs—not as an appendage to power, but as a voice shaped by its own civilisational experience and its history of speaking for sovereignty, restraint, and balance. That voice mattered because it was consistent, even when inconvenient. Strategic autonomy cannot mean adjusting our language to the hierarchy of power.

Restraint has its place. Calibration is necessary. But when fundamental questions arise—about sovereignty, about the limits of force, about the protection of civilians—India cannot afford to be silent.

A moral compass is not an ornament of foreign policy. It is its direction. Without it, realism drifts into accommodation, and autonomy into ambiguity.

This war has damaged India’s interests in almost every practical sense. It has raised costs, narrowed diplomatic room, stressed shipping, complicated Chabahar, and injected fresh instability into a region vital to India’s economy and external strategy. Even if New Delhi can cushion the blow, it cannot plausibly claim that the blow itself serves India.

The deeper question is whether India is willing to say so with sufficient clarity.

[LongTime🤓FirstTime👨‍💻 @LongTimeHistory]

Homeowner waits until construction job is nearly done—then calls ICE on 6 of her own workers.

Woman even provides the ladder used by agent to detain men—who she owes $10,000 for 3 day job.

"She called the damn law on us and now we're totally screwed!" men yell in Spanish. "They surrounded us!—They surrounded us!"

Agents even left behind the workers' van with doors wide open—filled with thousands of dollars worth of tools.

The arrest was broadcast live for about 30 minutes by a co-worker—identified as Bryan Polanco.

"Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it," he explains.

"I’ve seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it."

At the end of the video he gets the woman who called ICE on camera: "It is the same woman. Tidying up the house, and still with hatred in her heart."

The incident occurred in Cambridge, Maryland.

The Department of Justice has released footage of thugs stealing $1.7 million of jewelry in about one minute in Fremont, California.

The incident happened on June 18, 2025, at Kumar Jewelers.

The thugs were able to steal about 75% of the store's merchandise.

According to the New York Post, four suspects have been arrested, but most of the robbers remain at large.
