They can “shift” my name on a voter list. They can not shift Punjab’s fiscal collapse out of sight.
Instead of weaponising the state machinery against political opponents, the AAP government should answer for the state of Punjab’s finances.
Punjab’s fiscal policy is on the verge of collapse and I’ve explained exactly why in my post.
Should the religion of the school decide the minimum education a child gets?
I am a Hindu.
I still don’t want a Hindu child in a Vedic pathshala or a Muslim child in a madrasa getting a weaker academic education than a child in a regular school.
If the institution’s religion changes the standard, that is not equal education.

This is the test. Special Hindu exemption and special Muslim exemption are the same mistake. The rule either applies to the child, or it does not. It should not flip with the signboard on the gate.

@VivekYadavViews If RTE does not apply to madrasas and Vedic pathshalas, then the exemption is at least even. The harder question is whether any child aged 6–14 should be outside that floor at all. Same age, same country, same minimum skills.

@VivekYadavViews The child did not pick the religion of the school. The state still owes that child a usable floor in maths, science, and language. Autonomy of the institution is not a licence to shrink that floor.

Imagine three classrooms:
- Regular school
- Vedic pathshala
- Madrasa
Should all three have to ensure a minimum level of maths, science, language, and basic skills?
Same floor. Every child. Every institution.
If you want an exemption, argue for it for both.
If you want a standard, demand it from both.
Which one are you actually defending?

If a madrasa can be exempt, a Vedic pathshala can be exempt. If a pathshala must meet a standard, a madrasa must meet it.
I do not want a special Hindu exemption. I do not want a special Muslim exemption.
The rule should not change with the religion of the institution.

The RTE Act promised every child aged 6–14 free and compulsory education.
Section 1(5), inserted in 2012, then said the Act does not apply to madrasas, Vedic pathshalas, and institutions primarily imparting religious instruction.
Same age. Same country. Different floor, depending on the institution.
The Supreme Court is examining whether that exemption can stand.

CJP + DUSU: Can a Gen-Z movement finally break the ABVP–NSUI duopoly?
For decades, Delhi University student politics has been dominated by BJP-backed ABVP and Congress-backed NSUI.
Now a new Gen-Z movement is trying to enter that space.
Can CJP turn viral anger into actual votes on 18th September?

Record numbers are impressive but the real question is: where are the quality jobs?
GDP growth and record markets don't automatically mean better lives for ordinary Indians.
And if there is no truly independent foreign audit of these figures, who verifies the numbers behind the headlines?
Growth should be measured in jobs, incomes and transparency not just records.
