Just approached by Catering duty manager . He explained that today there was no supply of packaged bread slices from their stores and as a substitute they gave open bread slices with omelettes. Hope this is one off incident and service improves

This is the level of catering for breakfast in an Executive class of Vande Bharat running from Ahmedabad to Mumbai.
No Menu list, Open bread slices unhygienically wrapped in tissue papers and processed food items worth 50 rupees .

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.

May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?

Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?

In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?

The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.

It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.

Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.

Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?

India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

Pakistan is not just a nation, it is a thought and many Indians carry Pakistan as a nation in their hearts and as a thought in their minds. Today they are reviewing thrillers. Tomorrow they will be recruiting terrorists.

In the zero hour today raised the issue of judicial over reach in the case of banning Professor Michel Danino and two academics from any role receiving public funds for including a chapter on judicial corruption in NCERT Class 8 textbooks

[Kapil @kapsology]

Sacks of burnt currency notes were found at the residence of a Delhi High Court judge.

It has been a year.

The judge is still serving as a High Court judge in Allahabad.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court imposed a lifetime ban on the academics who wrote a chapter on corruption in the Indian judiciary.

“The clapping should not stop.”👏👏

[Enquiring Buddha🧐 @TweetingGautam]

@priyankac19 Thank you Mam for raising this issue, unfortunately Sarkar has bent over backwards to appease to inflated egos of Judicial Mafia dons

A clan of Rajputs had natural cover of forests & hills. They chose guerrilla warfare.

Another clan was just next to Delhi & Agra and had to choose the route of treaties.

Kachhwahas waited and led united Rajput Rebellion under Sawai Jai Singh II in 1708. This ended entire Mughal control on Rajasthan.

Jaipur & Jodhpur rulers also snatched Governorship of Malwa & Gujarat from Mughals.

Not to forget, the great service that they saved idol of Govind Dev ji and established his fort like temple in Jaipur during the peak onslaught of Aurangzeb. Always ready to protect with their lives.

They brought so much wealth to Rajasthan. They were patron of arts. They made first planned city of India as per Hindu architecture. They preserved & brought back to life thousands of Hindu scriptures & treatises. They taught so much to people, gave them skills. Hell, they were among the first to become modern photographers.

Taj Mahal & Indian President House stand on Kachhwaha land. They took architecture to next level. Made amazing dams and public buildings, all in use even now. They patronised games like Polo. Made textile industries, focused on mining, under them— Rajasthanis became a force of market as they are all around India. The jewellers under Jaipur kings flourished & developed kundan & stone jewellery. Painters did well.

In entire world, statue of only one king is standing not with a sword, but a measuring scale. Because, being a king is not just about battle & attaining moksha in battlefield. It means much more than that.

[Kshatriya Parishad @kshatriya_org]

On this day, we honour Maharana Bakhtawar Singh Rathore of Amjhera, a brave Kshatriya leader and among the earliest figures of the 1857 uprising. In 1857, he led successful attacks on British forces, capturing the Bhopawar cantonment and key outposts, igniting resistance across Malwa and adjoining regions.

Betrayed and captured, he was martyred by hanging in Indore on 10 February 1858, at the age of about 34. His sacrifice remains commemorated in Amjhera, including a government school named in his honour—an enduring symbol of courage and resistance.
