The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).
The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.
The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.
Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.
This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.
No need to come back.
Indians must understand the difference between Bharat, the oldest unbroken dharmic civilization since the Bronze Age, and India, a modern nation-state governed by a democratic system since 1947.
Your love and gratitude for Bharat should not be weaponized as a guilt trip to pull you back to India, where merit is devalued, corruption is normalized, adulteration is rampant, civic sense is poor, pollution is pervasive, babushahi stifles efficiency, appeasement and freebies shape policy, and mobs dictate terms to democratically elected governments.
Bharat stays with you. Wherever you go, the civilization goes with you. If you want to preserve and carry forward that civilization, practice dharmic righteousness wherever you are and uphold its values through your conduct, work, and integrity. You don't have to be in India for it.
She booked her jump months ago, but fate handed her the foggiest day of the year. 🌫️ Engulfed in a thick white haze, she and her instructor plunged into what felt like a blind leap into the unknown. Just as the adrenaline peaked, the fog vanished, revealing the breathtaking expanse of the immense canyon below. A truly thrilling, exhilarating ride from start to finish. 🪂
Liberal’ ideology is not liberal but it is Authoritarianism…

Just a reminder that this is the evil that Israel is fighting.
That an image of a cute skullcapped kid leading an adorable animal to its grisly slaughter has been normalised by her, speaks as much of society's moral decay as any hurt she wanted to inflict through the animal's identity.
A quiet, unsettling malaise has taken over this nation.
Last night, Pakistani launched missile and drone attacks on multiple Indian cities, including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, and Bhuj.
Imagine an attack on this scale, yet our common citizens didn’t even realise it happened. Why? Because unlike Pakistan, we have a functional defence system that shot down everything they launched. And today, we retaliated, with precision. They couldn’t intercept a thing.
We don’t appreciate and thank our Armed Forces’ capabilities enough!

I really enjoy "Kaun Banega Crorepati," a show that blends intelligence and entertainment. It adds to my knowledge, and I feel very happy whenever my answers are correct.
In a recent episode, Neeraj Saxena was the fastest to answer in the "Fastest Finger" round and took the hot seat.
