Voting on these bills was supposed to be at 4pm, has been repeatedly postponed.

If defeated, these will be the first gov bills to be defeated in Parliament after the 2002 Prevention of Terrorism Bill. And the first to be defeated in the LS after the 1990 Constitution (Sixty-Fourth Amendment) Bill.

Government is hoping to avoid a historic defeat.

No one captured the raw, dramatic world of Indian circuses quite like the legendary Mary Ellen Mark. Her photos are haunting, powerful, and deeply human.
A thread on ten of her most striking circus photographs—each telling a story you won’t forget. 1/12

My wife has had an Axis Bank account for 3 years, not even a single spam or loan-related call from any third-party agency. If there was any offer, it came directly from her home branch or her Relationship Manager. Clean and professional.

But couple of months ago, I opened an HDFC Bank account just to add her under my Preferred Banking benefits. Within hours, she started getting spam calls from loan agents and finance companies.

What’s going on at HDFC Bank? Is customer data being sold or leaked? Where’s the security and privacy we’re promised? This is not just unprofessional, it’s dangerous.

HDFC Bank needs to answer this.

Rare picture of Putin doing a press conference with Australia’s PM.

The Naveen Patnaik Cabinet had zero Dalit representation.

Until November 2019, Bengal's SC/ST & Backward Welfare Minister himself was Upper Caste. Since then, the TMC has changed substantially. It's paid off - they won back SC-dominated Cooch Behar, defeating a sitting minister

[Ravi @RadChanTad]

Parties like TMC and BJD rely on UC and geographic hegemony (Greater Kolkata, Western Odisha). The BJP's success has been its ability to capitalise on the discontent - the TMC, however, took corrective action while BJD was complacent

The more appropriate analogy is to the battle of Purandar. The Mughal Empire may have won this battle, but they’re on track to lose the war

[Hartosh Singh Bal @HartoshSinghBal]

one you leave aside the hype, the appropriate analogy for the cong performance in 2024 - it was like rana pratap's 'victory' at haldighati.

Remember the rally where PM Modi called Muslims 'infiltrators' and peddled anti-Muslim tropes?

The BJP is trailing in THAT Banswara seat by 2.4 lakh votes. A tight slap to hate.😊😊
