My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.

IITs में बच्चों की मौत पर जाति की रोटी सेंकना बंद करो। सरकारी आंकड़े खुद चिल्ला रहे हैं कि मरने वालों में आधे जनरल हैं, फिर भी हर लाश पर SC/ST का ठप्पा लगाकर कैंपस को बदनाम करना कौन सी इंसानियत है?
Stop harassing students as well as teachers and deal with the problem.

दलित उत्थान सिर्फ़ भाषणों और नारों से नहीं होगा।
विडंबना देखिए-जब कोई दलित नेता मंत्री बनता है या अपनी क्षेत्रीय पार्टी खड़ी करता है, तो सत्ता और दायित्व बाँटने की बारी आते ही सबसे पहले पत्नी, बेटे, बेटी, दामाद और यहाँ तक कि समधी-समधन तक याद आते हैं।लेकिन उसी समाज के योग्य, संघर्षशील और ज़मीनी कार्यकर्ता अक्सर दरवाज़े पर ही खड़े रह जाते हैं।जब नेतृत्व सामाजिक उत्थान के बजाय परिवार का विस्तार बन जाए, तो फिर उस समाज का उत्थान कैसे होगा?
दलित समाज को परिवारवाद नहीं,योग्यता,अवसर और नेतृत्व में वास्तविक भागीदारी चाहिए।
अब सवाल पूछना होगा-सत्ता अपने परिवार के लिए या समाज के लिए?
आरक्षण का तुलनात्मक अध्ययन करने के लिए दूर जाने की जरूरत नहीं है। बिहार में ही जिस जाति से मैं आता हूँ(मुसहर) और अन्य आरक्षण प्राप्त जातियों की सामाजिकऔर आर्थिक स्थिति का अध्ययन कर लीजिए।खुद-ब-खुद पता चल जाएगा कि कौन आज कहाँ है और किस स्थिति में खड़ा है।

The inanity of Swara Bhasker
By Justice Katju
In a function in Delhi on 31st August 2026, former film actress Swara Bhaskar, referring to the Hindi film 'Padmaavat ' called the women who did 'jauhar' ( self immolation ) as cowards. She asked whether women who are raped should commit suicide ? Does their life end on being raped ? Should no rape survivor live ?

A lot of controversy is presently going in the Indian media about this.
The problem with these statements is that they ignore the context. Torn out of context, it must of course be said that a rape survivor has a right to continue living.
However, the position becomes very different when we see the context. When Sultan Allauddin Khilji's army stormed Chittorgarh fort ( after an 8 month siege ) in Rajasthan in 1303, which was then occupied by Rajput men, women, and children, the Rajput soldiers were defeated and most killed, leaving the women defenceless.
If these women were captured, they would not have been just raped by Khilji's soldiers, they would have been carried away by them, and then either sold in some slave market, or kept as concubines in some soldier's harem, suffering rape over and over again, and enduring whatever ill treatment their tormentors hand out to them all their lives.
There is a world of a difference between a one time rape of a woman, and then her return to a respectable and normal life on the one hand, and living a life of continuous horror and repeated rapes all one's life, on the other. The Rajput women refused the latter, obviously because if they had been captured they could never have returned to a normal life again, but would have been repeatedly raped and dishonoured throughout their lives, like slaves.
In the Bhagawad Gita Lord Krishna tells Arjun :
सम्भावितस्य चाकीर्ति मर्णादतिरिच्यते
i.e.
'' For a self respecting person, death is preferable to dishonour ''
This is why the self respecting brave Rajput women committed jauhar, something that the thick headed and fatuous Swara Bhaskar does not understand
