Saudi Arabia gets 3x the number of tourists India gets. For all our pride in our culture and history, we cannot avoid blame for being ill-mannered, and with apalling infrastructure in many places, and dirt and filth in many places. We must have the honesty to accept this.
I spoke with my dear brother HRH Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman this evening to express Pakistan’s strong condemnation of the dangerous regional escalation following the Israeli attack on Iran and subsequent attacks in the Gulf region.
Pakistan stands in full solidarity with Saudi Arabia and our brotherly Gulf countries in this perilous time. We remain ready to play a constructive role for peace and pray that the blessings of Ramadan bring calm and stability to our region.
Iran will not fail, because they are very old civilization. Having said that, to say the fall of the current regime is a fall of the civilization can’t be further from the truth #zoarasthura

A 22-year-old woman residing alone in a gated apartment complex in Bengaluru hosted a small, quiet get-together with a few friends at her own flat. There was no loud music or disturbance.
But the gathering drew the attention of “society uncles,” who were probably keeping a watch on her daily routine, and who confronted her late at night, questioning her conduct and her right to have guests. They told her that bachelors aren’t allowed in the society and asked her to call the owner of the house. When she calmly told them that she herself was the owner of the flat and was not violating any rule, the situation escalated further, with several committee members entering her home without consent, accusing her of drinking and smoking.
Parts of this confrontation were captured on CCTV cameras installed inside her flat for safety, footage that later became central to her case. The society members eventually called the police, but after verifying that no nuisance was being created and that the woman owned the flat, the cops took no action.
Rather than letting the episode pass, she chose to pursue legal remedies, sending notices for harassment, trespass, and intimidation. An urgent society meeting was called the same evening, where video footage from her living-room camera was screened before residents. Following this, the accused members were removed from their positions on the society board and fined Rs 20,000 each for violating bylaws. A written apology was issued to her.
She was not letting it pass this easy though. Next, she filed a ₹62-lakh civil suit, seeking compensation for mental trauma and reputational harm, along with a permanent injunction to prevent further interference.
I hope she wins. This case will be landmark in India because it legally challenges the unchecked authority of RWAs, clearly establishing that society committees have no right to police personal behaviour inside a privately owned home. By treating moral policing as actionable civil harassment with financial consequences, it will set a deterrent precedent and strengthen individual residential autonomy.
The most horrific account of sexual violence and abuse has emerged from Satara in Maharashtra where a 26 year old female doctor who worked in a government hospital has died by suicide - leaving a short hand written note on the palm of her hand and a longer four page letter - detailing how Sub Inspector Gopal Badne raped her four times. In more shocking details that are now emerging, the hand written letter accessed by @themojostory also points a finger at a Member of Parliament who she alleges pressured her through his two personal assistants. The entire tussle, her note says, was over her being asked to issue fake fitness certificates in police cases. Her abuse and harassment, she writes, began, when she declined to do so. Recounting a specific incident she says two assistants to an MP walked into the hospital where she worked and asked for such fake fitness certificates. When she resisted, the men made her speak to the MP who pressured her to do what they demanded . Her family says she made several complaints to senior officers of the police in writing but no action was taken. Absolutely horrific abuse of power that took the life of a young woman. When will our women have a safe working environment? Every such horror account will discourage women from entering or staying in the work force apart from of course the gigantic tragedy of a life lost
More on Ajit Pawar versus IPS officer controversy: now Maharashtra deputy CM’s NCP (AP) MLC, Amol Mitkari, has written to UPSC to enquire into educational and caste documents submitted by the IPS Officer, Anjana Krishna. This comes a day after the viral video of Ajit Pawar upbraiding the officer while she was inquiring into an alleged illegal soil excavation case. Pure INTIMIDATION. BIG qs: Where is the @IPS_Association ??

A Dalit man says he buried hundreds of bodies in Karnataka’s holiest temple town.
Some allegedly raped. Some acid-burnt. Some children.
He says he was forced.
Now he’s gone public — and the system says he’s “missing.”
What is being buried in Dharmasthala?

#Horrific In Karnataka’s Dharmasthala, a Dalit worker says he was forced by temple officials and administration to bury & burn 100+ women’s bodies—many raped & murdered—between 1995–2014. He’s now under witness protection. Decades of horror buried in silence. Will justice rise ?
