Remember the Adani Data Center coming up at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh?

Barely 120 kms from there is a district called Parvathipuram in Andhra Pradesh.

30 year old Tadangi Ramesh from Velagavalasa village was beaten up and burnt alive by the villagers.

Reason? They suspected him of practicing black magic and occult rituals.

Tadangi Gopi a neighbour of Tadangi Ramesh had been suffering from fever for the last few days.

He dreamt that he was being beaten and strangulated by Tadangi Ramesh of the same village.

So, Gopi had suspected that Tadangi Ramesh had performed black magic.

Half burnt body of Ramesh was recovered by the local police and so far 16 people were arrested in the case.

All Gopi and family had to do was go meet the doctors and get some blood tests done before spilling someone’s blood. Again, Parvathipuram also suffers with severe lack of medical facilities like most of the agency areas.

While governments are running after Data Centers that would destroy the ecosystem, citizens of this nation are still enamoured by supernatural beliefs.

What we need as a country isn’t Artificial Intelligence but basic education, scientific temperament and accessible healthcare facilities.

I hope, the so called leaders will work on fixing those issues first.

Manuwadi crushing food under their feet in the name of a Hindu religious ritual. Such practices are deeply disrespectful to food and promote waste at a time when millions struggle with hunger.

No tradition should justify the desecration of something that sustains human life. 💔

Both Adani and Anil Agarwal have looted the government, but Adani got away with it heavily because he is PM Modi's friend. That's why today, ED raids took place at Anil Agarwal of the Vedanta Group. JP Associates was wanted by Vedanta, but Adani snatched it away, against which the Vedanta Group knocked on the doors of the Supreme Court. Similarly, in 2020-21, Mumbai International Airport Limited was also snatched from the GVK Group. If the government plays mafia for one capitalist, forget foreign investment—domestic investment will also flee abroad, and that's exactly what's happening.

400-800 cases listed a day, yet people expect judges to work like robots: Allahabad High Court | https://t.co/9VWg64zpZB

[Dr.B.Karthik Navayan @Navayan]

The current system of highly competitive entrance exams like JEE (for engineering) and NEET (for medicine) in India creates intense pressure, fuels a massive coaching industry, and has been vulnerable to paper leaks and irregularities.

For broader access: remove or relax these centralised "single-day decider" tests, expand seats significantly, and invest heavily to raise infrastructure and faculty quality across all colleges.

This would promote greater equality of opportunity and reduce risks from leaks or one-off performance failures.

**The Indian Whom Japan Reveres, But Most Indians Have Never Heard Of**

In Tokyo, Japan, there is a statue of an Indian. Japanese students learn about him in their schools. Yet, sadly, most Indians do not even know his name.

This is the story of **Justice Dr. Radhabinod Pal**, a man who stood for justice when the entire world chose a different path.
The date was November 12, 1948. The Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal* was hearing the cases of Japanese leaders, including former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, following Japan's defeat in World War II. Twenty-eight defendants had been classified as Class-A war criminals, and if found guilty, the punishment could only be death.

Eleven judges from different countries sat on the tribunal. Ten judges agreed that the accused were guilty.

Then came one powerful dissenting voice:
"Not Guilty."

That voice belonged to an Indian judge—Justice Radhabinod Pal.

Born on January 27, 1886, in what is now Bangladesh, Pal came from a humble background. His mother supported the family by managing their home and cattle. As a young boy, he often sat outside a village school while grazing cows, listening to lessons through the classroom window.

One day, during a school inspection, when students could not answer the inspector's questions, a voice came from outside the window.

"I know the answers."

The inspector was astonished as the boy answered every question correctly.

"Which class do you study in?" he asked.

The boy replied, "I do not study here. I am grazing cows."

Impressed by his brilliance, the inspector arranged for his admission and scholarship. Thus began the educational journey of Radhabinod Pal.

He later topped his district, studied at Presidency College, earned an https://t.co/Kc3kGra2Ht. in Mathematics, pursued law, and eventually obtained a doctorate. He once remarked:

*"Law and Mathematics are not as different as they seem."*

Years later, at the Tokyo Tribunal, Justice Pal submitted a monumental **1,235-page judgment**. He argued that international law should be applied impartially and that the victorious Allied powers could not be exempt from scrutiny. He questioned actions such as the atomic bombings and maintained that the tribunal was applying justice selectively.

Although his opinion remained a dissent, it became one of the most discussed legal opinions in the history of international law.

Japan never forgot him.

In 1966, Emperor Hirohito awarded him one of Japan's highest civilian honors. Memorials and statues dedicated to him exist in Japan, including one at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. His legal writings and judgments continue to be studied, and he remains a respected figure in Japan's legal and historical circles.

Former Japanese Prime Minister **Shinzo Abe** also expressed admiration for Justice Pal and met members of his family during a visit to India.

Despite receiving immense respect abroad, Justice Radhabinod Pal remains largely unknown in his own country.

He was a scholar, jurist, author, and a fearless defender of independent thought. Whether one agrees with his judgment or not, his courage to stand alone against overwhelming global opinion remains extraordinary.

Do you think Justice Radhabinod Pal deserves greater recognition in India, perhaps even the Bharat Ratna?

#Casteism In Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, 20-year-old Dalit student Atin Kumar was allegedly humiliated inside a library simply because of his caste. The Caste Hindu library owner told him that people from a “lower caste” were not allowed to study there. He was then brutally beaten and publicly degraded.

Broken by the relentless casteist abuse and violence, Atin returned home and died by suicide.

In his suicide note, he reportedly exposed the horrific caste discrimination he endured and named the caste Hindu library owner and his friends responsible for tormenting him.

Atin was not just a student fighting for his dreams, he was the only son of physically disabled parents. He ran a small roadside grocery shop to feed his family while preparing for competitive exams, hoping to escape poverty and build a dignified life.

But caste hatred crushed his future before it could even begin.

This is not just a suicide. This is the deadly reality of caste oppression in India.
