There are pedophile rapists of every ethnicity, but the ability to summon 20-30 friends and relatives on short notice who also want to participate is pretty uniquely Pakistani and absolutely a reflection of their culture.

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.

Congress should run a campaign against Ethanol blending.

Rahul Gandhi should say that if Congress comes to power, ethanol blending in petrol will stop 100%.

Youth Congress should run campaign outside every petrol pumps and car service against enhanol blending and vote congress to save your car engine and increase your mileage.

I cannot reiterate how big of a scam this ethanol based fuel is (Primarily because I don't want a defamation case).

What you're seeing on your screen is not normal. Ethanol and Petrol are supposed to 'blend' because that's what ethanol blending means.

The number of employees earning a salary of Rs.1 crore or more per annum in Infosys is 130.

In a leading software company in the country itself only hundred plus people are earning a crore or more. And the number of employees working in Infosys is more than 3 lakhs. We are talking about roughly 0.04% employees in such a reputed institution.

High income and big wealth is not easy as some finfluencers make it look like. The only exception to this rule is corrupt people in our country.

Hi @vijaysales I guess you don't honour your own display price. This power bank was hanging in your Chakala, Mumbai store for 1,999. However, at the billing counter, they refused to honour the price saying that it was "updated" in the system this morning to 2,199.

First week: Trading is easier than I thought. I made 15% returns today, so in 3 months, I’ll turn my ₹10k into ₹10L.

First year: I have a lot of losses. I’ll find someone who gives calls, tips, or account-handling services.

Second year: My losses have increased. From now on, I will trade on my own based on advice from YouTubers.

Third year: I should focus on learning, as without learning, nothing will be possible in trading.

This is the journey of most traders in India. Half of them quit after the second year, and the other half end up taking loans trying to recover their losses.

The first half are still acting with maturity, but the second half are smashing a hammer on their own feet without realizing it.

The sooner you accept that you should focus on learning, the better your trading journey will become.

Most traders learn this too late. You will feel overconfident but despite of it, stop trading by yourself. Please.

[Mao Keji | मुखर्जी @kejimao]

Obviously, Vijay Gokhale is ignorant about how Chinese people view Indian democracy and why they would never see it as an ideological threat. Here is the reasoning.

Even if democracy can be viewed as India’s foundational pillar, significantly preventing the worst outcomes, it has also brought about suffocating, if not deadly, costs.

India adopted universal suffrage democracy while still economically and socially underdeveloped, thereby legitimising many deeply entrenched pre-modern social structures, which have become institutionalised and integrated into India’s governance today.

Idealists like the first prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, and the early Congress party envisioned oppressed social groups utilising their numerical advantage through democratic elections to create pressure groups, driving gradual social reform and overcoming entrenched societal issues, thus paving the way for economic prosperity.

Unfortunately, this ideal scenario didn’t materialise. Instead, groups formed around identities such as religion, caste, sub-caste, and ethnic affiliations have engaged in “vertical mobilisation” through electoral mechanisms, reinforcing traditional social structures and preserving vested economic interests. This has resulted in an institutionalised system that further hinders social dynamism and reinforces social rigidity.

Consequently, vested interest groups representing antiquated social structures legitimately hijack democratic processes, obstructing reforms beneficial to the entire society, thus significantly hampering social progress and economic development over the long term. Nevertheless, most people have no better alternative than to tolerate this situation.

What type of mistakes are the most challenging to correct? Those that everyone perceives as “correct”. This encapsulates the most profound constraint that democracy imposes on India.

[Malay Krishna @Malay4Product]

This is an unbelievable piece of work by Sarthak and something that requires amplification.

Let me explain what he found, in simple terms.

Sarthak is a Class 12 student from the 2025-26 batch, one of the 17 lakh students whose answer sheets went through CBSE's new On-Screen Marking system.

He spent days reading through CBSE's evaluation tenders, scraped all 576 tenders CBSE has issued, and tracked how the rules changed across three versions of the same tender.

The core finding is that the company that won the contract to scan and grade 17 lakh students' answer sheets is Coempt Eduteck.

Coempt used to be called Globarena Technologies. Globarena was the company behind the 2019 Telangana intermediate exam disaster, where software failures led to 3.8 lakh students getting wrong or missing marks, and 23 students died by suicide.

A government committee found systemic failure and negligence. Six months later, Globarena rebranded to Coempt Eduteck.

So a company with that track record won a contract to handle 17 lakh CBSE students. Sarthak's investigation is about how the rules were rewritten to let that happen.

The tender was issued three times.

> First tender, February 2025. It existed, then disappeared from the public GeM portal. Sarthak scraped all 576 CBSE tenders and this one was missing from the archive entirely.

> Second tender, May 2025. Four companies applied including TCS and Coempt. All four failed the technical evaluation. Cancelled.

> Third tender, August 2025. Coempt won. Between the second and third tender, a series of rule changes happened, and every single one made it easier for Coempt to qualify.

Here is what changed, one by one.

01. The old rules disqualified any company with a history of abandoning work, failing to complete contracts, or financial weakness. The new rules deleted this clause entirely. Coempt's Telangana history stopped being a barrier.

02. The old rules disqualified any company that was "blacklisted earlier." The new rules changed this to "currently blacklisted." Because Globarena rebranded after Telangana, removing the word "earlier" effectively erased their past.

03. The rules required Rs 50 crore average turnover over three years. Coempt's exact average came to Rs 50.86 crore. They cleared the bar by less than 1%. Earlier, a smaller company had asked CBSE to lower the bar to Rs 30 crore for fairer competition. CBSE refused. So the bar was kept high enough to block small players, but sat exactly low enough for Coempt to scrape through.

04. Software maturity is measured on the CMMI scale, 1 to 5. The old rules required Level 5. The new rules dropped it to Level 3. Coempt is a Level 3 company.

05. The cooling-off period for engaging retired CBSE officials was cut from two years to one. This makes it easier to use recently retired insiders to influence the process.

06. The old rules required experience with large projects of at least 5 lakh students each. The new rules removed the student count and counted cumulative answer-book volume across small projects instead. Coempt has many small fragmented university contracts. This helped Coempt and hurt TCS.

07. The old rules required bidders to own their own data centre and disaster recovery centre on Indian soil. The new rules allowed third-party MeitY-empanelled cloud hosting. Coempt runs on AWS and Azure. This helped Coempt and hurt TCS, which owns its own data centres. It also means student data is no longer on sovereign, Indian infrastructure.

08. The old rules required the bidder to own or control the complete source code of its software. The new rules deleted this. Coempt's platform runs on Microsoft's proprietary IIS, which they don't own.

09. A last-minute corrigendum, issued right before bid submission, removed CBSE's own power to blacklist the firm if its software failed catastrophically. So even a Telangana-scale failure couldn't get Coempt banned from future government tenders.

10. The penalty structure shifted from punishing mistakes to punishing delays. The old rules fined the vendor for wrong scanning, merged pages, and unscanned books. The new rules dropped those and instead levied Rs 50,000 per day for delays. This incentivises rushed scanning over accurate scanning.

11. The old rules had a hard accuracy threshold, error rate not to exceed 0.5%. The new rules removed this number entirely.

12. The old rules specified proper book and robotics scanners. The new rules just say "sufficient scanners." The definition was vague enough that, as Sarthak notes, the scanning could be done with a phone on a stand.

13. On the security side, the contract required a VAPT (vulnerability and penetration test) certified by CERT-In before go-live, and a restricted beta phase before launch. The system clearly wasn't restricted, because the other researcher, Nisarga, was able to access it and find vulnerabilities four days before go-live. So the mandatory security audit appears to have been bypassed.

These are more than a dozen rule changes, all between the failed tender and the winning tender, all pushing in the same direction, all benefiting the one company with the worst track record in the field.

The security holes Nisarga found last week now have an explanation. The system was built by a vendor that was specifically allowed to skip the security certification, the source code ownership, the data sovereignty, and the quality thresholds the original rules demanded.

Following things need to happen immediately;

1. An immediate CAG audit of the tender process.
2. A parliamentary debate on the topic.
3. An independent investigation into
> Why the first tender vanished?
> Why the disqualification clauses were deleted?
> Why the turnover bar was held exactly where it was?
> Why the security level was dropped?
> Why the blacklisting power was removed at the last moment?

Sarthak, this is genuinely exceptional investigative work. Far better than most journalists with full resources ever manage. Take a bow. :)

What utter nonsense!!

[Balu Gorade @BaluGorade]

SEBI should consider this:

1] Switching within the same AMC shouldn't be treated as a sale.

Example:
SBI Small Cap => SBI Balanced Advantage

2] Switching between AMCs should also be allowed.

Example:
Nippon large cap => Abakkus Small cap

Today, investors must sell, wait 2-3 days for redemption proceeds, and then reinvest.

A seamless switch mechanism would make rebalancing far more efficient.
