The Waqf Board owning more land than Indian Railways is the second biggest unsolved mystery in India.

[Arshia Malik @arshiaunis]

As an Indian woman from Muslim heritage, I write this rebuttal with the clarity and directness that comes from living the reality @Ilhan only tweets about from afar. Ilhan Omar’s claim that India has reached the “eighth stage of genocide” against Muslims is not analysis. It is reckless, fact-free propaganda that insults every one of us who actually live here, work here, raise families here, and exercise our rights every single day.

If there were even the beginning of genocide, our population would not have exploded. In 1951, Muslims were about 9.8% of India. By 2011, we were 14.2%. Today we are estimated around 14.5–15%, heading toward 18% by 2050 according to Pew projections. From roughly 35 million in 1951 to over 200 million now. Absolute numbers have multiplied nearly six-fold while the country’s overall population grew far slower in percentage terms. Genocide does not produce the world’s largest Muslim-minority population that keeps growing faster than the national average for decades. It produces mass graves and fleeing refugees. We have neither.

We vote in every election in the world’s largest democracy. We contest seats, win them, become MPs, ministers, judges, IAS officers, doctors, engineers, and business leaders. Three Presidents of India have been Muslim. We serve in the armed forces and police. We own businesses, run hospitals, produce films, and dominate segments of entertainment and sports. This is not the signature of a community facing extermination.

We are thriving and prospering — with real data and real lives. Yes, like every large community, we have internal challenges — lower average literacy and educational enrollment in some metrics, pockets of poverty, and the need for better skilling. But the narrative of uniform victimhood is a lie told by people who have never walked through a Muslim-dominated area in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, or Kerala and seen the middle class, the professionals, the entrepreneurs, and the young women studying medicine and engineering.

Prominent Indian Muslims — from business (Wipro’s Azim Premji built one of India’s largest companies), to cinema (generations of stars and directors), to sports, academia, and medicine — show what is possible when talent meets opportunity in a free society. Millions of ordinary Muslim families have moved from villages to cities, from informal work to formal jobs, from one generation of limited schooling to the next pursuing professional degrees. That is prosperity in motion, not persecution.

We enjoy specific rights and accommodations that Hindus as a group do not. This is the part Omar and her echo chamber never mention. Indian Muslims operate under a parallel personal law system for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and maintenance rooted in Sharia. Hindus do not.
After independence, Hindu personal law was comprehensively reformed and codified into a uniform framework (Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, etc.). Muslims retained the right to follow their own religious laws — including provisions for polygamy (up to four wives) and differential inheritance rules that the Hindu majority surrendered decades ago.

We also have constitutional minority protections under Articles 29 and 30 that allow us to establish and administer our own educational institutions with significant autonomy — rights the Hindu majority does not claim as a group because it is not classified as a minority. The Waqf Act gives Muslim institutions unique control over vast religious and charitable properties in a manner unparalleled for any other community.
In short: the Indian state has gone out of its way, through personal laws and minority safeguards, to preserve and accommodate Muslim religious and cultural identity in ways it has not extended equivalently to the Hindu majority. These are not “equal rights” in every narrow sense — they are deliberate accommodations that give us more space to live according to our traditions than the majority community receives under the same Constitution.

As a woman from Muslim heritage in India, I have the full protection of the Indian Constitution plus the framework of personal law. The criminalization of instant triple talaq in 2019 removed a specific vulnerability that existed under uncodified practice. I can study, work, vote, travel, criticize the government, wear what I choose (or not), and practice my faith openly — all while living in a country where my community’s population share has steadily risen for 75 years.

@Ilhan Omar’s “eighth stage of genocide” rhetoric is not solidarity. It is the lazy export of American culture-war talking points onto a country and a people she does not understand. It erases the agency of 200+ million Indian Muslims who are neither cowering nor waiting for rescue from Washington. It cheapens the word “genocide” while real atrocities happen elsewhere.
Stop peddling foreign fantasies about our lives. We are here. We are visible. We are voting. We are building. And we reject your narrative with the facts of our own existence. That is the view from inside — not from a podium in the United States.

About NEET & CBSE

There is a point where demand for transparency changes into entitlement.

Back in our day, we had no idea what happened to our exam papers. They went into a black hole and we just hoped luck would be on our side.

Back then, there was no such thing as re-evaluation. For Rs 100, you could request that the marks in your answer sheet, which you never saw, would be added up again. And you had to trust them when they said they had done so.

Anyway, that was a while ago. Let it be.

But now we have transparency. Your answer sheet goes online. You can check what happened to it. So when mistakes happen, they get caught. And of course, they get blamed on the government. Maybe they should.

And then these mistakes get amplified by media and opposition. Again, this stuff was not possible earlier. If you think this means there were no mistakes earlier, your IQ is in the bottom percentile and you won't get into a decent college anywhere on earth. No use blaming the government.

But now the demands have gone too far. A student himself changes his exam center from and it is NTA's fault? Why did NTA allow him to change the center?

Really? That's a serious question?

So the govt must now provide a personal counsellor to each exam candidate who will guide them through the process of using the website? And yes, maybe the student didn't feel ready to take the exam. For a young kid, it may feel easier to self sabotage secretly than to admit their worries to their parents. So now the govt should coordinate between students and their parents?

In my opinion, NTA should not have allowed the student to change the center back after so called "outrage" by media and opposition.

You cannot make such exceptions for entitlement.

The protest playbook:
→ Jantar Mantar rally — 400-500 showed up. 20M Instagram followers. Epic flop.
→ Lucknow — hijacked a students' protest. Got ignored. Left in 40 minutes.

No mass. No movement. Just manufactured outrage for content.

What was UPA?

Aug 6, 2013: Pakistan kills 5 uniformed Indian Army soldiers

Notice that Defense Minister A K Antony's statement to Parliament doesn't blame Pakistan

Instead, it blamed "persons dressed in Pakistan Army uniforms"

Sep 29, 2013: Dr. Manmohan Singh meets Pakistan PM in New York

And read how intellectuals of the time begged UPA not to derail the dialogue with Pakistan.

But today people are claiming that UPA would stand up to the United States!

~Modi Sarkar froze final operational clearances to Starlink citing security concern

~US targets foreign commercial vessel with max Bharatiyas aboard, 3 killed, Iran condemns

~Trump declares heavy attack on Iran

~Iran says 'Bhad mei ja'

~Trump says 'War over. Hormuz open'

~Clearances to Starlink still remain frozen

Thank you, R&AW Chief Parag Jain, for aggressively pushing report against Starlink after evidences emerged on how Starlink gave access to US Forces to get pinpoint locations for attacks in Iran.

Tomorrow some day, Bharat will go for final cake-cutting of Bhikharistan. US won't dare to enter war 'on behalf of' Bhikharistan. But US has a record of supporting terr0ri$ts 'passively' & will definitely use Starlink portals to give precise locations to Bhikharis.

India shut down its largest copper smelter in 2018 — Sterlite Tuticorin, 400,000 tonnes/year. Real environmental concerns, real protests, real consequences.

We went from copper exporter to importer overnight. Import bill now roughly ₹35,000 crore/year. And we're building an EV economy that runs on copper — every panel, transformer, charger, motor.

Six years later: no replacement smelter, no cleaner alternative, just a growing import bill. Hindalco's expanding, Adani's entering copper, but the gap is real.

Shutting capacity without building alternatives isn't environmental policy. It's de-industrialization by accident.

- If a Pakistani loves Pakistan people will call him a patriot
- If someone says I love Bharat they will call him an Andh Bhakt
- If a Muslim follows Islam they call him religious
- Whereas if a Hindu follows Sanatan they will label him as an Andh Bhakt
- If a Muslim supports a political party that's his right
- If a Hindu supports BJP they will again call him an Andh Bhakt

All the allegations were based on a Dainik Jagran report, which was later retracted and clarified. Yet, the shameless SP spokesperson continues to spread lies and rumors.

If you have the courage, expose questionable funding related to any mosque instead, said BJP leader Pradeep.

Watch how Supriya Sharma of Scroll is spreading propaganda that civil rights activists are being jailed. These are her activists-

1. Sudha Bharadwaj - role in a 2018 incident of caste-based violence & links with Maoists.

2. Gautam Navlakha - involvement in Bhima Koregaon violence.

3. Umar Khalid - conspirator in the Delhi riots.

4. Mahesh Raut - involvement in Bhima Koregaon violence.

5. Stan Swamy - ties to the banned terrorist organisation Communist Party of India (Maoist).

6. Gulfisha Fatima - involved in the Delhi riots, she was freed in January.

7. Sharjeel Imam - planned to cut off the North East from the rest of India. I can make a long list of his crimes.

These are activists? Then i am President

The Indus Water Treaty, signed in Karachi by Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Pakistani president Ayub Khan on 19 September 1960, allowed only 19.71% of the total discharge of the Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas, and Satluj to India and gifted 80.29% to Pakistan. Not only this, for the 10-years transition period (1960-70), India had to give the water from Ravi, Beas and Satluj to canals in West Pakistan's eastern part until Pakistan developed a canal system to carry the waters of the western rivers Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab. And for building that canal system, India had to give FOREIGN EXCHANGE EQUIVALENT OF 125 METRIC TONS OF GOLD. In 1965, India was forced into a war against Pakistan but continued to give it waters from the eastern rivers Ravi, Beas, and Satluj, and, more shockingly, also forex equivalent of 12.5 metric tons of gold every year until 1970. Nothing in the world comes anywhere close to this great generosity and magnanimity by an upper riparian nation for to a lower riparian one.

The DS identified this man as a major threat to their easy manipulation of India very early on. They desperately tried to stop him from ever leading the country.

The moment he became CM, they ignited issues, branded him with every possible label, attempted to sanction him, and even revoked his visas.

They unleashed tens of thousands of pages of propaganda reports against him, both inside India and abroad. They weaponised the opposition and the courts to flood him with cases from every direction.

Yet he overcame it all. To become the PM of the world’s largest democracy. Despite all the hit jobs, sabotage, and propaganda, he remains the most popular leader on the planet.

He has turned every adversity into an advantage. "Being Anti-fragile" is his mantra. And he has made India anti-fragile too. We have seen the nation emerge stronger from every crisis thrown at it.

I believe he will also resolve the infowar crisis. The main force behind it will be weakened and broken by him. It will be a fitting feather in his cap before he retires as not only India’s longest serving PM, but its most impactful one.

History will remember him as the one who transformed India not just in infrastructure and development, but forged a confident, self-reliant nation that stands proud on the global stage.

[Arpita Shaiva @arpispeaks]

Kolkata Metro work was stalled for 15 years.

The only reason was that if the metro project had been completed, Narendra Modi would have inaugurated it, and Mamata Banerjee did not want that. Because the central government is building it.

Yes, Rail Vikas Nigam Limited, which was working on the Kolkata Metro's rail line, had to build a bypass over a bypass, but that required a 15-day traffic stoppage.

15 years ago, RVNL sent a letter to the local administration asking them to stop traffic for 15 days. The TMC government did not stop the traffic!

4 more letters were sent, but traffic was not stopped.

After that, RBNL had to approach the High Court. The HC immediately ordered the West Bengal government to halt traffic so that the Metro project could be completed.

But Mamata Banerjee's stubbornness led her to appeal the High Court's decision to the Supreme Court.

When the Supreme Court ruled that traffic must be halted for 15 days, Mamata Banerjee filed a review petition.

And most surprisingly, no media outlet even reported the dirty game being played in West Bengal just to prevent Modi from inaugurating the project.

Millions of people in her own state were wasting their time stuck in traffic jams, but Mamata Banerjee's pride was paramount.

Then came the elections, and this issue was widely discussed.

Then the Mamata government was gone, and a project that had been stalled for 15 years was completed in just 15 days.

That's why I say that India's opposition is the biggest enemy of the country's development.

[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

If bad luck was a person, It was Krishna.
Born in a prison cell.

With chains.
Cold walls.
And fear.

The West writes self-help books after one breakup and a weekend depression.

Krishna was born with a death warrant.

His own uncle wanted him dead.

He never drank his mother's milk.

Hours after birth,
his father carried him across a mad river at midnight.

Rain above.
Death behind.
Darkness ahead.

No burning bush.
No sea parting.
No miracle announcing salvation.
No therapist with scented candles.

Just survival.

Born a prince.
Raised a cowherd.

Before he could speak,
they sent Putana.

Then Shakatasura.
Trinavarta.
Kaliya.

One after another.

As if destiny hated him personally.

And he still smiled.

People today collapse over an unfollow.

He lost everything early.

His parents.
His childhood.
His home.

And Radha.

Ah, Radha.

The part Bollywood never understands.

His closest friend Sudama lived in poverty.
Krishna could not protect everyone he loved.

Shishupala insulted him publicly.
Again and again.
Before assembled kings.

Krishna listened calmly.

Then came Jarasandha.
17 invasions.
Mathura burned again and again.

Then came the greatest tragedy.

The Mahabharata.

Krishna tried to stop it.
He went himself.
He sat before Duryodhana.

Pleaded for peace.
Just 5 villages.
Duryodhana refused.

And humanity walked into hell smiling.

18 days later, rivers carried blood.
1.66 billion dead.

Think about that.

An entire civilisation collapsing into dust.

And Krishna carried that silence.

No lamentation carved into scripture.
No prophet demanding heaven explain itself.

Just silence.

Then Gandhari cursed him.
A grieving mother blamed him for everything.

Krishna accepted it.

That is spiritual strength.

Then came the final collapse.

His own clan destroyed itself.
Drunk. Violent. Mad.

The Yadavas killed each other.
His own son died in that chaos.

Krishna watched.

Because some endings cannot be stopped.

Then Dwarka sank.

His city.
His dream.
His life's work.

Gone beneath the waves.

And finally...

The man who was greatest strategist.
The man kings feared.
The man sages worshipped.

Died alone in a forest.
One arrow.
A hunter's mistake.

No throne.
No army.
No grand farewell.
No Resurrection.

Just silence beneath the trees.

And yet...
He is called the complete being.

Not because life was kind.
But because pain never poisoned him.

That is Krishna's greatness.

Not miracles.
Not powers.
Not mythology.

Life gave him suffering.
He gave life wisdom.

Life gave him betrayal.
He gave humanity the Gita.

Life gave him war.
He gave the world detachment.

And in the middle of chaos,
he left us one terrifying truth:

"You control your actions.
Never the outcome."

Krishna did not teach escapism.
He taught endurance.

He did not teach positivity.
He taught responsibility.

He taught how to stand inside hell,
without becoming hell yourself.

That is why he still smiles.

And maybe...

That is why Bharat still survives.
