Deeply saddened by the passing of Shri Ratan Thiyam , a visionary who redefined Indian theatre by blending contemporary form with the cultural soul of Manipur. Through his art, he not only elevated the cultural identity of his homeland but left an indelible mark on the landscape of Indian performing arts. His legacy will continue to inspire.

Heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and all who admired his art. May he rest in peace.

For how long will we ignore this present & real danger in our streets. #streetdogs

They don’t even know that there is a Wellington in India too..n so Our Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw was laid to rest in New Zealand according to the @timesofindia .
God save us from our own press.

Mamdani’s mother is a world-famous, Academy Award-nominated Bollywood director worth tens of millions of dollars. His father is a chaired professor at Columbia.

He is, in effect, a perpetual theatre kid who’s pretending to be “Third World.” It’s all so, so performative + stupid.

[Conrad K Sangma @SangmaConrad]

On the 26th death anniversary of Capt. Keishing Clifford Nongrum, we remember and honor one of Meghalaya’s bravest sons.

He laid down his life during the #KargilWar, displaying exceptional courage and unflinching devotion to duty. His supreme sacrifice for the nation will never be forgotten. Jai Hind!

The most chilling part isn't the assault itself... but the silence of the onlookers. No one spoke up. No one intervened. No one challenged the injustice.

A nation of bystanders. Only capable of outraging on social media.

An Air India Captain who flew in the aftermath of the crash steeling himself mentally penned this down for himself & his crew. With his consent, I am sharing this for all to read. Also gives you a glimpse into the mental fortitude needed by our pilots and crew at this time. They need all our support at this hour of grief

AI171: A Tragedy That Must Redefine Our Safety Culture

June 12, 2025
Flight AI171, operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, leading to the loss of over 260 lives. Among them were passengers, cabin crew, and the flight’s captain Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal. The impact of this event has shaken the aviation community to its core.

This is not just a technical event , it is a defining moment for every cockpit and every cabin. For those of us who wear the wings, this tragedy strikes at the heart of what it means to be a professional: to lead under pressure, to act with discipline, and to speak up when it matters most.

What Happens After the Crash Defines Us

Accidents in aviation are rarely the result of one mistake. They are complex, multi-layered, and merciless. But what separates great organizations and great crews is how they respond afterward with accountability, learning, and leadership at every level.

The investigation will run its course. But long before official findings emerge, we in the safety chain pilots, cabin crew, engineers, dispatchers, ATC—must begin our own reflection.
•Are our SOPs being followed with intent, not just compliance?
•Are fatigue, workload, and operational risks being openly addressed?
•Are we creating a culture where safety concerns can be raised without fear?

These are not rhetorical questions. They are action points for every safety officer, line trainer, fleet manager, and crew member.

Captain Sabharwal’s Legacy: Leadership in the Final Seconds

Capt. Sabharwal reportedly tried to steer the aircraft away from populated areas, attempting to minimize ground casualties even in the face of imminent disaster. His final moments reflect the highest standards of command responsibility.

His actions remind us: professionalism is not just technical proficiency I t’s moral clarity under pressure.

From Grief to Renewal: The Safety Mission Ahead

This is a time for discipline and solidarity. Not for speculation, blame, or silence.

We must reaffirm our core values:
•Crew Resource Management (CRM) is not just a training module ……it’s a daily operational mindset.
•Threat and Error Management (TEM) is not a formality ….it’s our active defense line.
•Safety Reporting is not optional …,it’s a shared responsibility.

Air India, under the Tata Group, carries not just an operational load—but a legacy. That legacy must now be strengthened by a safety culture that values honesty, humility, and action.

Let AI171 not become just another file number in an investigation archive. Let it mark a turning point a moment where we raise the bar on how we brief, train, fly, and lead.

We owe it to the passengers.
We owe it to the crew we lost.
We owe it to each other.

Safety isn’t a department. It’s a mindset.
And leadership isn’t a title. It’s how we show up especially after the crash.

No one, literally no one, thought this. Except a few brain dead, morally bankrupt, ethically beggared pieces of s**t who will pick the bones of the dead for engagement farming .

[Neha Gurung @nehaGurung1692]

Everyone was talking about #sonamraghuwanshi and #rajaraghuvanshi but no one will talk about Rosmita Hojai because she is from Northeast India. Remember Rosmita Hojai was missing while travelling to Delhi on 5th June and found her dead body on 10th June in Uttarakhand.

Nothing can be more beautiful than this! 🥹🫶

Farzad with Down syndrome after winning Gold, went to his opponent and raised his hand too!

[Heenu🌻 @Heenu_Ri]

I can’t see any national media covering this news cause she is a tribal from Northeast. Rosmita went to Delhi to write her railway exam. She was an engineer by profession. @himantabiswa you must stand up for her and demand fast investigation in this case to @UttrakhandPoli2

[Anshul Saxena @AskAnshul]

This is from Meghalaya.

People of Sohra held a candlelight vigil for Raja Raghuvanshi, who was killed in a plot orchestrated by his wife Sonam during their honeymoon.

Will all those who were so quick to spread conspiracy theories against Meghalaya now bother to highlight this?

[Along @Along_Ph0m]

@Heenu_Ri Not just Meghalaya, entire NE tribals was dragged in. They were calling us savages, cannibals, human traffickers and what not. Disgusting people! 🤮

[Chirag Barjatya @chiragbarjatya]

But when the main news came about missing husband, here on X, several people posted detailed threads on how North eastern regions are into black magic, cannabilism and what not. Some of those posts reached 1m. All anon accounts.

The nation owes an apology to #Meghalaya

[Paulamii Dutta @ShillongGal]

@Mebanization @SangmaConrad Imagine the resources the state had to waste for a missing case that never was.

[Meghalaya The Abode of Clouds @Mebanization]

@SangmaConrad We, the people of Meghalaya, demand an apology for the baseless accusations and the misrepresentation of our community. Let justice prevail based on facts, not prejudice.

[Paulamii Dutta @ShillongGal]

Which media outlet will now apologize to Meghalaya for the slander and fake news now?

[Conrad K Sangma @SangmaConrad]

Within 7 days a major breakthrough has been achieved by the #meghalayapolice in the Raja murder case … 3 assailants who are from Madhya Pradesh have been arrested, female has surrendered and operation still on to catch 1 more assailant .. well done #meghalayapolice
