Worth noting: Manohar Parrikar once recounted a personal experience. "I am from a village in Goa called 'Parra,' which is why we are known as 'Parrikars.' My village is famous for its watermelons. When I was a child, after the harvest in May, the farmers would organize a 'watermelon-eating contest.' All the children were invited and encouraged to eat as many watermelons as they wished.
Many years later, I left for IIT Bombay to pursue an engineering degree. I returned to my village 6.5 years later and went to the market looking for watermelons—but they were nowhere to be found. The few that were available were tiny.
I went to visit the farmer who used to organize the 'watermelon-eating contest.' His son had since taken over. He continued to hold the contest, but with a key difference: the old farmer used to ask us to spit the seeds into a bowl—we were forbidden from chewing them—because he was collecting the seeds for the next season's crop.
In effect, we were unpaid child laborers.
He would reserve his finest watermelons for the contest, as they yielded the best seeds, which in turn produced even larger watermelons the following year. When his son took over, he realized that the larger watermelons fetched a higher price in the market; so, he began selling the large ones and set aside only the smaller ones for the contest. The next year, the watermelons were smaller, and the year after that, even smaller. A generation of watermelons lasts just one year.
Within seven years, the excellent watermelons of Parra had vanished. Among humans, a generation spans about 25 years. It will likely take us 200 years to realize the mistakes we are making in how we educate our children.
Identifying 'good seeds'—that is, recognizing talent—is a monumental task in itself. Due to flawed ideas and counterproductive policies like reservations, our 'best watermelons' are ending up in the marketplace..." They will be gone, and we will be left with nothing but worthless, inferior seeds.
We must think about this—today...
This is Danish, an AISA activist. In a video released on Insta, she spoke about the current situation at Jamia. Heavy police force is deployed outside Jamia.
They expressed concern that the police might use force tonight to remove them from the site and attempt to bring an end to their hunger strike.
NOW PEACE BONDS
Electoral bonds for the corrupt, peace bonds for the dissenters.
You cannot intimidate or jail the voice of the people.
Peaceful protest is a constitutional right, and the streets will keep pushing back until accountability is delivered.

Protesters demand cancellation of the proposed 10,000–11,000 MW Upper Siang Dam Project and release of 10 detained people.

Genz Protest
“I was there throughout the protest & didn’t see a single Pakistani or Bangladeshi flag. If you still believe they were there, I deserve the Bharat Ratna for making them sing the Indian National Anthem & read the Preamble of our Constitution.”

Why courts are judicially biased to treat politicians in power with lenience, facilitate even favouring them to not submit academic testimonials even but seek this sort of proofs from those standing against the partisan poilitics?

🚨MASSIVE BREAKING :
Advocate Bhanu Pratap brutally EXPOSED Supreme Court :
> "If anyone has the biggest hand in destroying this country's democracy and Constitution, it's the Supreme Court."
> "How did the court let SIR happen?"
> "Form 6 was misused, and the court did nothing. It's still doing nothing."
> "13.5 crore people's votes have been cut. Can the court not see what you and I can see?"
Harsh? Maybe. But look at the record.
> Petitions against SIR: hearings, dates, more dates
> Meanwhile the deletions kept going, state after state
> The CJI was removed from the CEC selection panel by law, and the CEC is now picked by the PM's own panel
> Electoral bonds were struck down, but only after the money had already been collected
Think about it for a second.
The court is the last door a common voter can knock on. If the EC is compromised and that door stays shut too, where does the citizen go?
Justice delayed is democracy denied. When your name is gone from the voter list, a hearing after the election means nothing.
THE COURTS MUST WAKE UP BEFORE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAVE 🗿🔥
