You cannot have both fairness and NEET.
NEET is fundamentally unfair.
While I cannot speak for every state, I can certainly speak for Tamil Nadu. Every political party in Tamil Nadu except the BJP opposes NEET. The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has repeatedly passed resolutions and Bills seeking exemption from NEET.
Stop defending the indefensible. #ScrapNEET once and for all.
Look out for my Op-ed in tomorrow's edition of @The_Hindu, where I set out in detail why NEET is fundamentally unfair and why it must be abolished.
We should have listened when one child cried.
Instead, we waited until far too many of our children died.
A system where coaching replaces learning, anxiety replaces curiosity, and criminality replaces merit is rotten.
A nation has failed when its children are met with barricades and batons instead of answers.
@Wangchuk66, the nation will need your conscience for the journey ahead. Please end your fast.
To the children of India: You are the best of us. You have done your duty. It is now time for the country to do its duty by you. May your dreams forever be bigger than our failures.

Everyone is talking about Annamalai leaving BJP.
Nobody is asking the right question.
Let me ask it.
In 2024, Annamalai led Tamil Nadu for BJP.
BJP won zero seats.
He himself did not win.
In 2026, BJP's vote share in Tamil Nadu collapsed further.
The media is painting him as a victim.
Modi and Amit Shah as the villain.
I am not a BJP supporter.
I am not an Annamalai supporter.
I am not even Modi and Amit Shah supporter.
I support Bharat.
So let me tell you what the media is not telling you.
In May 2024, right in the middle of the Lok Sabha election campaign, Annamalai travelled to Delhi.
Not for a rally.
Not for party strategy.
For a selection interview.
For a fellowship offered by the UK government.
He got selected.
By September 2024, Annamalai was in Oxford.
He stayed there until December 2024.
Twelve weeks.
Fully residential.
The programme is called Chevening Gurukul Fellowship for Leadership and Excellence.
Hosted at Oxford University.
Department of Politics and International Relations.
Only 12 candidates are cherry picked from all of India.
Now here is what you need to know about this programme.
It is not run by Oxford.
It is funded entirely by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
The same ministry that runs British foreign policy.
The programme has been running for 25 years.
It targets India's future political leaders, senior bureaucrats, journalists, NGO heads, and civil society figures.
That means, 300 carefully selected future Indian power-holders.
Shaped inside Oxford.
Funded by Whitehall.
Past alumni include sitting Union Cabinet ministers.
Senior Tata Group executives.
And now, Annamalai.
One stat worth sitting with.
Tamil Nadu NGOs received Rs 6,395 crore in foreign funds in just four years.
Second highest in India.
After Delhi.
I am not saying Annamalai did anything wrong.
I am not saying he was sent there for any hidden reason.
I am simply presenting facts.
But here is what I will watch in the next 18 months.
Watch if international English-language media gives his new movement disproportionate coverage.
Watch if Western think tanks invite him to speak.
Watch if NGOs with foreign funding quietly support his ground operations.
Watch if his Oxford policy paper surfaces in any British foreign policy publication.
I have no verdict on Annamalai.
I have no personal agenda against him.
But I do have questions.
Maybe I am wrong.
Maybe this is a BJP strategy to rebuild in Tamil Nadu through a friendly outsider.
But here is what history tells us.
Britain lost India in 1947.
It never lost its networks.
The question is not whether Annamalai is right or wrong for India.
The question is: who benefits if he succeeds?
That answer will become clear.
Sooner than you think.

A girl in Vietnam entered a clothing store but kept missing the saleswoman because they moved at the exact same moments.After about a minute, they finally bumped into each other in a funny “glitch” moment 😂
அறிவியல் கண்ணோட்டத்தை வளர்க்க வேண்டியது அரசின் கடமை. முதல்வரின் அரசியல் பிரிவு செயலாளராக இன்று அறிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ள ரிக்கி ராதன் பண்டிட் என்பவர் அடிப்படையில் ஒரு ஜோதிடர்.
அரசுச் செலவில் அதிகாரியாக இத்தகைய ஒருவரை நியமித்திருப்பது, மக்கள் மத்தியில் ஜோதிடம் தொடர்பான நம்பிக்கையை அதிகப்படுத்தவே உதவும். "ஜோதிடம் தனை இகழ்" என்றார் பாரதியார். அரசின் இந்தப் பணி நியமனம் ஏற்புடையதல்ல!
இவர் அரசியல் ஆலோசனைகளை கூறுவார் என்பதும் ஏற்புடையதல்ல.
@CMOTamilnadu
மாண்புமிகு தமிழ்நாடு முதலமைச்சராகப் பொறுப்பேற்றுள்ள தமிழக வெற்றிக் கழகத் தலைவர் திரு. @ActorVijay அவர்களுக்கு எனது மனப்பூர்வமான வாழ்த்துகளைத் தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறேன்.
பதவியேற்றதும் தாங்கள் கையெழுத்திட்டுள்ள அறிவிப்புகளையும் வரவேற்கிறேன்.
எடுத்த எடுப்பிலேயே அரசிடம் பணம் இல்லை எனப் பேச ஆரம்பிக்காதீங்க. அதெல்லாம் இருக்கு. மக்களுக்குக் கொடுக்க மனசும், ஆட்சித் திறமையும்தான் வேணும்.
ஐந்து ஆண்டுகளாக, கோவிட், வெள்ளம் போன்ற பல பிரச்சினைகளையும் ஒன்றிய பா.ஜ.க. அரசின் ஓரவஞ்சனையையும் சமாளிச்சுதான் நாங்க எண்ணற்ற மக்கள்நலத் திட்டங்களை நிறைவேற்றினோம்.
'ரூபாய் 10 லட்சம் கோடி கடனை வைத்துவிட்டு, கஜானாவைத் துடைத்து விட்டுச் சென்றுள்ளது கடந்த அரசு' - என்ற குற்றச்சாட்டை முதல் உரையிலேயே சொல்லி இருக்கீங்களே… அனுமதிக்கப்பட்ட வரம்புக்குட்பட்டே தமிழ்நாட்டின் கடன் அளவு இருக்கிறது.
தமிழ்நாடு அரசின் நிதிநிலை பற்றி கடந்த பிப்ரவரி மாத பட்ஜெட்லயே தெளிவா நாங்க சொல்லிட்டோம். அது உங்களுக்குத் தெரியாதா? அதுக்குப் பிறகுதான நீங்க பல வாக்குறுதிகளை மக்களுக்குக் கொடுத்தீங்க? உங்களுக்கு வாக்களித்த மக்களை மீண்டும் ஏமாற்றி திசைதிருப்பாதீங்க!
“நடைமுறைக்கு சாத்தியமானதை மட்டுமே வாக்குறுதிகளாக அளிக்கிறேன்” எனக் கூறி ஆட்சிக்கு வந்துள்ள நீங்கள் இப்போதுதான் அரசு நிர்வாகத்துக்குள் அடியெடுத்து வைக்கிறீர்கள். கூடிய விரைவில் மக்களுக்குக் கொடுத்த வாக்குறுதிகளை எப்படி நிறைவேற்றலாம் எனும் நுணுக்கங்களையும் எங்களைப் போலவே நீங்களும் நிச்சயம் கற்றுக்கொள்வீர்கள் என நான் நம்புகிறேன். வாக்களித்த மக்களோடு, நானும் அதையே எதிர்பார்க்கிறேன்.
தங்களின் ஆட்சியில் தமிழ்நாட்டின் வளர்ச்சிப் பயணம் தொடர மீண்டும் எனது வாழ்த்துகள்!
Is there even a shred of social responsibility in anything anymore? 41 lives have been lost, and instead of showing basic humanity, it’s being reduced to cheap political drama with cinematic dialogues. Now, even Ponraj’s statement is being twisted for yet another round of disgraceful politics despite the fact that he has no connection whatsoever with the DMK.
The language used by Ponraj in public is undoubtedly vulgar and deserves clear condemnation. For that, even a simple complaint from an ordinary party worker would have been sufficient. But what we are witnessing instead is a so called ‘virtual warrior’ leader, pretending to champion women’s concerns, while his followers stoop to degrading and disrespecting women across the board.
In all of this, the kind of petty and distasteful politics being played makes Vijay’s actions appear even more repulsive to me than Ponraj’s words themselves.
Jayaraj kept his mobile shop open past 9pm during lockdown.
Police came. Took him away.
His son Bennix heard about it and rushed to the station to check on his father.
They let him in.
Then locked the door.
Both were stripped. Tied down on a wooden table. Beaten with lathis every 10 minutes through the night.
Their blood splattered the walls.
The next morning police took them to a doctor who gave them a fitness certificate.
Then to a magistrate who remanded them to jail without even looking at them properly.
Bennix died on June 22. Jayaraj died on June 23.
Yesterday a court found all 9 police officers guilty of murder.
It took 6 years.
Sentencing is on March 30.
The FIR said Jayaraj and Bennix rolled on the ground and used obscene language.
CCTV from the shop next door showed nothing of that sort happened.
The case against them was completely fabricated.
They died for a crime they never committed.
God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar 🐐
where most players can’t even find the middle with the blade of the bat, he finds it with the handle. Unbelievable 🤯🙌
Tamilians are different breeds! You can't see other states muslims so happy and this joyful sparing Kerala !! Secularism at Tamilnadu and Kerala👌
Tamil Nadu is ♥️
Salute you, Arun Abraham and Sherin Ann John.
Our baby, Alin Sherin Abraham, lived for months within her mother, and ten months embraced by her parents’ boundless love. Now, she will help five other babies live better lives.
By mindset and by heart, you are - and will always remain - loving parents. Please retrieve your happiness through life. You both truly deserve it.
Dear Sherin and Arun,
Yours,
Kamal Haasan
I'll say it again...sports are where people forget hatred & simply remain human with each other.
Take your disgusting religious & hate politics to politicians like you who spread hatred & deal with those running another country beyond india's border, not with the people just standing on the boundary line.
I hope india beats pakistan today to make it 8-1.
According to a report by the National Human Rights Commission of India, 40,000 children are abducted each year, leaving 11,000 untraced.
Trafficking of children and forcing them into child labour is a serious issue in Bihar. According to the 2011 census, 6.5 million children in the age group of 5-14 work in the unorganized sector, and among them, 11 per cent are from Bihar. In villages like the one where Dharmender grew up, opportunities are scarce, and everyone lives in poverty.
Between 2011 and 2013, more than 10,500 children were registered as missing from the central state of Chhattisgarh, one of India’s poorest states.
In the first 15 days of 2026, Delhi reported 807 missing persons - 509 women and girls and 298 men - with 572 still untraced.
Children and adolescents are heavily affected. In 2025 alone, 24,508 people went missing, including 14,870 women, showing a decade - long rise and 52,000 unresolved cases.
Nearly 1.4 lakh children were reported missing as of 2023, with most aged 12–18 years.
Teenagers form the bulk of cases: 12–16-year-olds account for roughly 48,500, while 16–18-year-olds make up about 69,800.
Younger children under 12 number around 20,000.
A large number of children and women trafficked for #SexualExploitation in India.
Such trafficking in India has become a substantial international business and, unless legislating and executing strong laws and stringent action was taken, it is unlikely to slow down.
Additionally, it has given an opportunity for the enormous potential profits for those syndicates that were set up for organized crimes and independent traffickers.
The Bengal unit of the #BJP - Bharatiya Janata Party has removed the general secretary of its women’s wing after she was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department from Darjeeling district for alleged child trafficking.
In 2007, taking note of the naming of some MPs in a human trafficking case, Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee on Sunday said such allegations were of a serious and grave nature and the matter could come up at a meeting of leaders of all political parties convened by him.
In the human trafficking case allegedly involving BJP MP Babubhai Katara, one of the arrested persons has named three other MPs whom he claimed to have introduced to travel agents suspected to behind the racket.
