Imagination is more important than knowledge

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:

My dear young friends,

I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.

This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.

I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.

So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.

To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.

And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.

To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.

With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.

And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.

India has launched #OperationSindoor, a precise and restrained response to the barbaric #PahalgamTerrorAttack that claimed 26 lives, including one Nepali citizen. Focused strikes were carried out on nine #terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, targeting the roots of cross-border terror planning. Importantly, no Pakistani military facilities were hit, reflecting India’s calibrated and non-escalatory approach. This operation underscores India’s resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation. A detailed briefing on the operation will follow later today.

A very well written story of who Ravi Ashwin is. A ,just read. All the best for your retirement journey @ashwinravi99.

Ashwin always more cerebral than emotional, except on his final day https://t.co/lEX6KUoZuH via @cricbuzz

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It's pain only for others.

It's the same thing when you are stupid.

Physics is very cool

[Rajat Kumar @QuantumArya]

@zone_astronomy The net acceleration of the glass was less than 9.8 m/s^2. Which clearly means that he was under some kind of pseudo force and the two forces which can act in this situation are centripetal and one due to momentum change.

[Rajat Kumar @QuantumArya]

@zone_astronomy I think the reason is centripetal acceleration due to the rotation as well as force applied due to the change in velocity of the plane(F= dp/dt). And you can clearly see the difference when the pilot tries to drink that, it was difficult than usual for him to drink because

Let us not keep Pakistan away from quality cricket anymore as they have shown their worth very well in this world cup.
Can you share your views on this in evening live stream today?
Love from India.

[Rajat Kumar @QuantumArya]

@mohsinaliisb @razi_haider
We want a bilateral series between India and Pakistan from now on. We should play like we used to play earlier. It will increase the quality of the cricket in both the nations and will send a positive message to the world.
What are your views on this?

[Rajat Kumar @QuantumArya]

@BDUTT @imVkohli They aren't even using social media at this time. They mustn't even know what crap people are talking about them. So chill, they will open up after the worldcup, they must be with their family which is the safest place to go after such a game.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

The problem is not people being uneducated.

The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. 🧠

As India is becoming the new hub for industrial revolution it is important for us to show concern towards this topic. Every year we are seeing average rise of 0.7 °C, and every year is becoming the hottest year in past century.

[Rajat Kumar @QuantumArya]

Increasing amount of Green House gases was always a concern to human civilization but in the past two decades it's been huge and its disturbing to see that we are not doing anything about it. I would request the authorities to take certain actions. @PMOIndia @myogiadityanath

@mohsinaliisb I think ki ab Kohli sb ko jadeja ki taraf rukh kar lena chahiye. Bilkul sapat pitch ho gyi hai🤦.

In 2019 Ashes England was in the same condition as India is today. I hope India will recover as they did.
