FACT CHECK
Official 2026 GOI Kailash yatra (MEA, lottery):
Lipulekh ₹2.09L | Nathu La ₹3.31L
Isha 2021 packages (Newslaundry):
₹2.75L–₹5.50L standard
₹50L = premium “with Sadhguru” trip, not the usual pilgrim price
Standard Isha rates were in the same range as GOI/private tours. The ₹50L figure is not an apples-to-apples comparison.
@Goreunit China held a flood evacuation drill at Rasuwa port on August 5.
Twenty-one days later the wall of water came.
626 confirmed dead in Nepal. Over 2,400 still missing.
They rehearsed the disaster three weeks before it happened.
That is not a coincidence. That is not weather.
A text does not have to sit on a puja shelf to shape how people think. Manusmriti was never “irrelevant” simply because most homes do not keep a copy. Legal reform happened against its orthodox readings on women and caste, not because those ideas quietly vanished. Passing laws does not erase social residue. “It has no legal force today” is not an argument that the hierarchy it encoded stopped mattering. That is how a living attitude gets treated as a closed chapter.
China just purged two of its most powerful generals — Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli — from the Central Military Commission over “serious violations of discipline and law.”
Zhang was CMC vice-chairman (second only to Xi). Liu ran the Joint Staff Department.
The 7-member CMC now has only two active members left, including Xi himself.
Also notable: Zhao Zongqi, who commanded the Western Theatre during the 2020 India-China clashes, was recently dropped from a top advisory body.
Big shake-up inside the PLA.
Pakistan’s batting lineup isn’t a Test side.
It’s second-division county cricket with a PCB budget.
110 all out at Lord’s.
Bowlers lining up like it’s an open net.
No one’s getting hurt. No one’s getting punished. Just roll up and take a wicket.
Vaughan wasn’t being harsh. He was being accurate.
@BJP4JnK Penguin India asked for edits. She said no. They said bye.
BJP already had the answer:
YouTube pe daal do, Madam Antonio Maino Ji.
Free hi free ho jaayegi.

3 “model” schools on video don’t hide Punjab’s record.
Debt heading toward ₹4.5 lakh cr. Drugs still flooding the state. Youth jobless or leaving. Govt-school enrolment down.
A few renovated campuses aren’t a turnaround when the rest of the state is sinking in loans and addiction.

India: $729 billion forex reserves. Record high.
Pakistan: $22.6 billion total. $17.1 billion official.
India’s gold pile alone is 5x Pakistan’s entire reserves.
India added $12.4 billion last week — more than half of Pakistan’s whole stash.
11 months import cover vs 2.6 months.
Not even the same sport.
हेर त्यो कक्षाकोठा…
जहाँ सपना उम्रिनुपर्ने थियो, आज बाढीले सबै बगाएर लग्यो।
बालबालिकाका झोलाहरू हिलोमा डुबेका छन्, किताबहरू भिजेका छन्,
कलिलो मनहरूको भविष्य पनि त्यही हिलोसँगै बगेको जस्तो लाग्छ।
कठै ती साना हातहरू जसले कलम समात्न सिक्दै थिए…
आज उनीहरूको स्कुल नै यस्तो अवस्थामा छ।
नेपालका बालबालिकालाई यस्तो दृश्य हेर्नुपर्ने दिन कहिलेसम्म आउने?

@NirmalPrasai5 This wasn’t just a flood.
It erased the map people carried in their hearts.History, identity, geography — all gone under the same grey silence.#NepalFloods
Heartbreaking footage from the Trishuli hydropower tunnel in Rasuwa after the Bhote Koshi floods. Thick mud, debris, and dangerous conditions inside — yet Nepal Army soldiers are still crawling through it day and night to pull people out. Respect their work. Don’t get in their way. #NepalFloods #RespectOurSoldiers
Cabinet reshuffle talk has picked up again, with reports pointing to a possible announcement around Janmashtami (4 Sept) or early September.
What’s being discussed:
• 12–17 new ministers, with emphasis on younger faces
• Possible exits or portfolio shifts among some senior ministers
• Extra representation for allies and poll-bound states
• A few current ministers may move to party organisational roles
No official confirmation yet. Dates and names remain unconfirmed.
Cricket Australia’s inclusion policy lets a male who went through puberty compete in the women’s game. Testosterone suppression does not erase strength, power or skeletal advantages. That is not fairness — it is a category error. Women’s sport exists to give female athletes a level field. Sex, not identity, should decide eligibility.
Nepali Army found explosives washed onto the Trishuli after the Rasuwa flood. That’s it. The “Chinese explosives triggered the glacier avalanche” part is speculation, not a confirmed finding. Satellite imagery, USGS, and glaciologists still point to an ice-rock collapse that dammed then burst a river. Extraordinary claims need more than a bottle on a riverbank.
