@confusedvichar There is nothing wrong with seekers seeking success. 😂

Today’s address to the nation:

[Neelabh Gupta @NeelabGupta]

Any moment now, @thewire_in
will publish an article showing Rahul Gandhi is incompetence personified, followed by an apologetic opinion piece ten years later 😂

[Rahul Gandhi @RahulGandhi]

We are paying a heavy price for air pollution - with our health and with our economy. Crores of ordinary Indians bear this burden every day.

Children and the elderly suffer the most. Livelihoods, especially of construction workers and daily wage earners are severely impacted.

This crisis cannot be forgotten until next winter. The first step towards change is to raise our voices.

Share your story of how air pollution has affected you or your loved ones at: https://t.co/YOBJ3mixPu

Your voice matters, and it is my duty to raise it.

[Neelabh Gupta @NeelabGupta]

@thewire_in The article is weird though. Why dont you highlight leaders who actually work and inspire youth to come forward in active politics? Why recycle waste? I get that INC and Rahul Gandhi are important, but for the self-crowned torch-bearers of Indian left, it’s simply more convenient

World’s ‘largest’ Democracy, quietly erasing its fundamental rights, one chicken wing at a time!

[ANI @ANI]

Odisha: Koraput Collector & DM has written to all Tahsildars, all Block Development Officers and all Executive Officers of the district to issue an official order in their jurisdiction for prohibition on selling of meat, chicken, fish, egg, etc and non- vegetarian food on the occasion of 77th Republic Day celebration.

[Neelabh Gupta @NeelabGupta]

I agree. Why don’t you/they enrol in one? You can revisit this tweet after a couple of semesters as archival work 😂

[Sriram R. @mosquitobatman]

Exactly the point

J Sai Deepak or Anand Ranganathan can start today and get a degree in history in 2 years with the same grade Ruchika did

Ruchika Sharma can't start today and get a Mechanical Engineering degree or Molecular Biology degree in 3-4 years

@Ragini_Singhdeo @_pallavighosh Please calm down, Ragini. I am confident that you can give a more befitting reply with pitchperfect renditions of a few soulful ragini and would replace him in the music industry within next few months. Good luck for the journey! :)

[Dr. Ruchika Sharma @tishasaroyan]

This is exactly what Hindutva does, excludes syncretic traditions like that of Pir babas, who have a history of being revered by anyone irrespective of their religion. This is how Hindutva hollows out Hinduism, excludes even Hindus like this woman who believe in plural traditions

[Priyanka Chaturvedi🇮🇳 @priyankac19]

Yes, you are right, when you say “difference is obvious, unless one chooses to ignore it.” Let me break it up for you:
The obvious difference is there is one religion which currently outweighs all the most in thought and practise on the issue of women’s rights and violence as a practice. Instead of calling for urgent reforms when one whitewashes and romanticises it is nothing but deliberately ignoring the problem.
So yes as you said, “ This isn’t complex. It’s basic.”

The only “Google Gemini Deep Search” approved doctor in India. 🖤

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

This is an easy question. "Steam inhalation" during / for "flu, common colds" is an archaic tradition, not scientific recommendation or rational practice. Time to stop such old-fashioned medical interventions. Doing it or supporting it, again proves health illiteracy.
This is from Google Gemini Deep Research:

[Prashant Bhushan @pbhushan1]

He was a humble, decent, well educated & well meaning man. His humility & decency was seen as a weakness.
I regret having participated in a movement that vilified him & helped a rogue regime come to power

Ek ‘contingent’ sher to banta tha, @Javedakhtarjadu Sahab.

[Siddharth @DearthOfSid]

I was curious about ‘God’ when I was 12. Over time, I outgrew it and realised that debating the existence of ‘God’ is one of the most pointless discourses in society. So no, I don’t plan to watch Javed Akhtar vs Mufti debate and I couldn’t care less about who “won” or “lost”.

Agreed, a public debate about atheism in contemporary India is very much unlike this tweet, which could potentially be published in a special issue on South Asia for all non-circusy serious academics and inevitably change the world.

[Samyak Ghosh 🌈 @GhoshSamyak]

Haven’t watched this and most likely won’t because it seems nothing more than a circus catered to an online audience who will pick sides and keep fighting!

[Neelabh Gupta @NeelabGupta]

It keeps getting better and better!

🚨 Bombay High Court has given permission to cut 45,000+ mangrove trees for the new Versova-Bhayander coastal road in Mumbai.

@anubhavgupta_ji I don’t have to learn secularism and progressive values from a creep like you. You spineless creature have you ever raised your voice against the fanatics of your own community. So get lost .
