Wow. Did NOT expect the end to this story.

A seven-year-old boy was at the center of a Bangaluru courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Royal Challenger Bengaluru, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone!

Supposedly big American brands like Disney sweating to find the budget for 30-second Super Bowl ads.

Meanwhile, Indian marketing guys casually dropping double-digit crores for an ad for... RUNGTA STEEL TMT BAR (The scripting & production budget is maybe ₹25,000)

🌟 Interim budget seems like a nice time to do a thread on why the financial year in India starts in April and ends in March, as opposed to the actual calendar that has the decency to start in Jan and end in Dec.

Buckle up for a story of religion, empire and... gynaecology. 1/n

today's wholesome story!

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

In 1977, an Indian man embarked on an extraordinary journey, cycling from India to Sweden to reunite with a woman he met during her vacation in India. This incredible voyage took him through 8 different countries and spanned a total of 4 months. Remarkably, 44 years later, the couple is happily married in Sweden.

The man behind this remarkable journey is Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia, often known as Dr. P. K. Mahanandia. He is an Indian-born Swedish artist celebrated for his epic bicycle ride from New Delhi to Gothenburg in 1977, all in the name of love to meet the woman of his dreams, Charlotte Von Schedvin.

Mahanandia has since become a well-known figure in Sweden, not only for his artistic talents but also for his role as an advisor in art and culture for the Swedish government. His artwork has been exhibited in major cities worldwide, and his pieces have even earned a place on prestigious UNICEF greeting cards. On the 4th of January 2012, he received an honorary doctorate degree (Degree of Honoris Causa) from Utkal University of Culture (UUC) in Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, recognizing his outstanding achievements. In addition, he was appointed as the Odia Cultural ambassador to Sweden by the Government of Odisha.

"Not all battles are fought for victory. Some are fought simply to tell the world that someone was there on the battlefield.".. beautiful lines, and a great tale.

[Karthik Balachandran @karthik2k2]

While every Indian knows about Jallianwala Bagh massacre, few of us think about the reactions of the British public to the event. The massacre itself was blacked out by the government in India and martial law was in place. When news got out, the British tabloids referred to Jallianwala Bagh massacre as the “Amritsar affair” — in an obvious use of minimising language.
How could the “affair “ change the attitudes of British public if they were denied truth? The answer lies , as often, in the efforts one man. A man whose origins are as far away from Punjab as one can imagine.

Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair was born in an aristocratic family in 1857 in Palakkad district of Kerala. His strong sense of fairness and justice, drove him to pursue law. Nair was an iconoclast and defied the dictates of Vakil association, which said no Indian would work under a British barrister. His reason : his clients had the freedom to choose their lawyer. To him justice mattered more than the color of the lawyer’s skin. He was a vociferous advocate of social reforms.

As Madras High court judge, he ruled that those who converted to Hinduism cannot be treated as outcastes. He also supported inter-religious marriages and was clearly ahead of his time. He became the youngest leader of Indian National congress. When the Montagu Chelmsford reforms were introduced in 1908, he called out the act as being partial. Even though Sir Edwin Montagu called him an “impossible man” , the British respected his moral rectitude and knighted him in 1912. In 1915 Nair became a member of the powerful Viceroy council and was given the education portfolio.
Then Jallianwala Bagh happened.

Nair resigned from the Viceroy council in protest - something unheard of , at that time. . He wrote “Gandhi and Anarchy” in which he openly accused Punjab Governor Michael O’Dwyer (the man who would be later shot by Shaheed Udham Singh). In response, O’Dwyer filed a defamation suit against Nair.

Nair faced a suit against a British man in a British court , presided over by a British judge and a British jury. All cards were stacked against him - yet he fought valiantly. The trial was the longest civil case London had seen until that time and lasted five and a half weeks. It laid threadbare the British atrocities in India and got extensive press coverage , something neither Nair nor O’Dwyer could have imagined. The British public, for the first time, understood that the call for Indian Swarajya wasn’t rebellious or seditious.

Sadly Nair lost the case 11 to 1 and had to pay a fine of 500 pounds. O’Dwyer said he would forgo that amount if Nair apologises. To which Sir Chettur Sankaran Nair said, “ I would rather pay 500 pounds than say something I don’t believe in. Besides what’s the guarantee that the next 12 shopkeepers in a British court wouldn’t side with their own? “

His fearless nature ensured that people all over the world heard about Jallianwala Bagh massacre. From New York to Paris, from Berlin to Moscow , Nair shook the image of the mighty British Empire, if only for five weeks.

Not all battles are fought for victory. Some are fought simply to tell the world that someone was there on the battlefield. The greatest tragedy such a warrior can face is being forgotten, erased from the history books of the very nation he fought for. The least we can do to correct such historic wrongs, is to tell our children about courage and conviction of our heroes.

Happy Independence Day !

Jai Hind !
