Road safety concerns on Baghauli Pratapnagar road (21 km stretch) in Hardoi have been submitted through email and UP Jansunwai. The widened road passes through ~29 village habitation stretches.

Investigation Follow Up: In Odisha, with aid of state government officials, BJP tried en masse deletion of Muslim voters in Bhadrak constituency. We caught them red-handed, with hard evidence.

This is, arguably, the first time BJP party workers have been directly indicted in the Muslim voter heist. Our investigation helped protect voter rights.

But only a junior official was punished, we found, the senior administrative officer who helped BJP has got away scot-free.

The Prime Minister of India now takes his orders from ANONYMOUS TROLLS, and this time the target is Babasaheb Ambedkar!

On 26 September, an anonymous handle called Ambedkar's Annihilation of Caste and Jyotiba Phule's Gulamgiri "POISON" for young minds. The very next day, a SUNDAY, the Education Ministry cited "a communication received from the Prime Minister's Office" and emailed central universities, marking it "URGENT". It wanted their comments on the tweet, and it wanted to know HOW MANY STUDENTS are studying these courses!

Paper leaks crushed the dreams of students, and no URGENT Sunday email went out. Young Indians begged for jobs, and no URGENT Sunday email went out. But ONE troll complained about AMBEDKAR, and the PMO moved by the very next day!

@RahulGandhi ji has exposed it with the ministry's own email. The man who bowed before the Constitution for the cameras is now running a HEADCOUNT of Ambedkar's readers.

A PMO that is FRIGHTENED of Ambedkar's books has already told India exactly what it thinks of the CONSTITUTION.

Instagram has restricted this cartoon in India.

I am posting the cartoon again, along with the notice I received from Instagram.

According to the notice, access has been restricted in India “pursuant to a notice from the Government of India / Law Enforcement” and based on local laws.

The cartoon is still visible outside India.

A cartoon about the Election Commission has been stopped from being seen by Indians. When satire gets censored, perhaps the cartoon has made its point. 🇮🇳

Online Indians are seething in comments bcoz he acknowledged South Asia as a region with shared problems such as climate change whose genesis lies outside it (historical West). Hard to think of another group whose sense of history & geography has been so distorted by propaganda.

As a lifelong stammerer, this hits so close to home.

I wrote this piece based on my life's experiences and also how to interact with those of us who live with this impediment.

Have a read and please share it with anyone who could benefit from it.

Elephants are intelligent, highly social animals. These two will be permanently traumatised by being torn from their family (not to mention their impending lifelong imprisonment). When will we stop this barbaric practice of torturing these gentle giants in the name of religion?

"Most nights, sleep takes over after what seems to be a very long time. I tune into the radio, eat my cold dinner and pick up a book. I read for a few hours, while the music in the background triggers memories from the past making me melancholic. I am strangely peaceful in these last hours of the day. I read till sleep takes me over."

This section lacks proper traffic calming measures including speed breakers and rumble strips, along with pedestrian safety provisions and warning signage.

Essentially no different than downing a passenger plane. The USN is more like the bully you see in the movie whom you instantly despise because they beat up unarmed folks and high-five and yak about warrior ethos. Pathetic losers...

Terrible customer service @airtelindia @Airtel_Presence .. Five days of no internet in the heart of Mumbai and zero response from technical staff after several assurances from customer service that it will be fixed by 'end of day' .. No culture of accountability here

I recently interviewed a Los Angeles garment worker who makes clothes for fast fashion labels. I got choked up during some parts of our interview and felt pretty sick at the end. My story for @thenation about America's hidden sweatshops

Tomorrow I will be in Oslo, where @PEN_Norway is awarding Julian Assange with the prestigious Ossietzky Prize “in recognition of his critical journalism and his commitment to exposing the abuse of power and war crimes.”

@MumbaiPolice I am scared now knowing that people who are entrusted with maintaining law and order were not able to help these guys. Don’t know where do we go now. Maybe the local politician who made “The Call”?

[Dawn (of Justice) @Nishuism]

@MumbaiPolice Btw, fun fact, the guy who was thrashed by the mob, was locked up under the pretext of “his safety”. Can we agree that if such was the case then cops knew he was in danger?
