Driving on the wrong side of the road has become one of the primary and most dangerous traffic violations in India. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses and even excavators are casually driven on the wrong side even on highways. Close to 5 lakh road accidents annually and 2 lakh deaths have become a sad reality. Driving on the wrong side needs to be treated as 'Attempt to Murder' and punished severely.
Steel bridge work above, live traffic below, every safety norm thrown out the window. One slip and someone becomes pulp worth ₹4 lakh in compensation.

How many times reservation shall be given to the same person that too in super-specialty courses?
1. Admission into MBBS because of reservation
2. Then reservation for doing MD
3. Then reservation for getting Job
4. And after Job, reservation in promotions
In just 2 minutes video, you'll forget the count on number of times our system failed and people lost lives.
Arnab Goswami is just expressing the feeling of common citizen who saw hope in 2014 and lost all hope in last couple of years.
Glad to see Laalu alive to see his family getting decimated at the polls.
Thousands of 90s kids who had to live away from their parents in boarding schools just to avoid getting kidnapped, thousands who had to forfeit their ancestral land as a bribe to get a clerical job, millions who studied hard under a lantern or a petromax to somehow escape the jungle raj. All of them, across the world, doing well, now looking at their phone screens and the numbers, and smiling. This is victory.
Proud of our Army 💪
*A Heartwarming Story From Indian Army*
One Grizzly Bear (Himalayan Brown Bear) family used to visit us at xxxx post in Siachen. Initially, only during nights.
We started keeping food for the family.
Their confidence in us developed over a period, and they even started coming during day.
There was also a bear cub about an year old. It used to come with his mother, but after about 6 months, it was either deserted by the mother or got lost. Then it started roaming alone, but it had problems, since the dogs in the post wouldn't let it come close.
When we saw this, we started tying the dogs. The confidence grew and it started to come close.
We named him Bahadur after the Company's name- Bahadur Company.
For a few days, we couldn't see Bahadur. One day, one of my posts, which used get cut off due to 60 feet of snow, reported that Bahadur is roaming around with his head stuck in a tin box.
This post was about 800 metres from my Company Headquarter.
I took 6 boys with me and went to rescue the bear myself. It's not that I wasn't concerned about boys safety; but I still decided to do the rescue.
When we reached the place, the bear was roaming with the tin box around its head, over a cornice probably without food for last 3 days. It was making circles on the cornice. _(Cornice - An overhanging mass of hardened snow at the edge of a mountain precipice.)_
Basically, cornice is a false extension of ground made by hard snow over a period of time, and it can't take too much weight.
It can break off and can lead to an Avalanche.
So, it was very difficult to go closer to the bear to rescue it.
I found the lightest boy from my group and briefed him to go close to the bear and tie the rope around his neck.
We also tied a rope to the waist also to pull him in case the cornice breaks down.
This boy was nervous to get close to the bear.
After about over 3 mins, I decided to rescue the bear on my own.
The bear was approached by me on my knees and I pulled him out of the cornice as quickly as possible to avoid breaking off the cornice.
After bringing the bear to safety, we tied it with ropes to take it to our xxxx post, where we could release him after removing the tin box.
It took almost a kind of surgery to cut the tin box without damaging the ears and neck of the bear.
We gave him food and released him after taking all safety precautions. When we released him, he didn't go away for a good 3 hours.
But after that it became part of my Company.
Whenever we shouted his name -Bahadur, it always appeared from nowhere.
It still comes to the post for food.
Although the Story is very Heartwarming, please do also take a moment to appreciate the very difficult conditions and the environment the Indian Army is guarding our Borders. Furthermore, do also see and acknowledge the accommodation they are staying with bare minimum amenities. It takes a special kind of men to do this.
A big Salute to the Soldiers of the Indian Army. Jai Hind!

A Canadian tourist visiting India has following observations about India, There are many things we have which are not anymore in West
We Indians should value things which the west is desperate to have, here are his observations
➡️ India feels unsafe when focusing on roads and footpaths, generally speaking.
➡He feels safer India than his home country, Canada.
➡️Indian society seems unpredictable and chaotic, but is actually quite orderly.
➡️There's a social rhythm that allows for understanding people's intentions beforehand.
Because of this, India rarely "feels like a gamble."
➡️ The speaker doesn't have the same feeling back home; everything feels random (attacks, violence, confrontations).
➡️ Examples of Western unpredictable danger include: a wild person attacking out of nowhere, a drug dealer trying something, or a mentally ill person with a knife.
➡️Western society is individualistic and people are "untethered" (not connected to community or family), which is dangerous as they are more likely to "snap."
➡️ In the West, you are "one wrong small event away from violence.
➡️ In India, most people have an unspoken understanding or "social bond.
➡️ Society in India is interconnected, which provides a baseline for safety.
➡️ People in India care about their neighbors and are aware of what's happening.
➡️ In the West, there's less petty stuff, but the dangers are more unpredictable, like going from learning the alphabet one day to running from an AR-15 the next.
