@amitkilhor When did Deshmukhs become Bihari?

[Vaibhav Shankar @Vaaaayman]

@7_vishesh @Bihar_se_hai As a Bihari, I completely agree with you. These guys just peddle their agenda which creates animosity amongst us.

[Vaibhav Shankar @Vaaaayman]

@Bihar_se_hai So we Biharis take up a lot of seats, then? You should stop peddling your stupid views.

@nehaGurung1692 I have always loved Thomas Müller the most.

My name is Vaibhav Shankar, from Patna, Bihar. Does Shankar sound like some special title to you? Nope. My father didn't add Jha to my name because of you know who. This has been the norm for years. Ab kuch bhi bol dene se sach nahi ho jaata.

Imagine signing for Bayern Munich as a €120M ballon d'or superstar.

You walk into the club and ask for the No. 12 shirt.

The answer?

"No. It belongs to someone more importantthan you."

Bayern permanently retired the No. 12 shirt for their supporters, recognizing them as the club's "12th man."

Every superstar who joins the club learns the same lesson:

No player is bigger than the fans.

The number is untouchable.

In an era where football sells everything from shirt numbers to social media posts, Bayern drew a line:

Players come and go. The fans stay forever.

That's why no Bayern player will ever wear No. 12.

One of football's greatest traditions. ❤️🤍
One of football's greatest fan cultures.🔴🇩🇪🇩🇪

@WONDERZ87 @PicturesFoIder You guys are deep into prostitution and drug peddling even in a country like India. I mean which country will you spare from rotting with your mere existence?

Parashar is one of the most prominent Brahmin gotras in North India.

» Lt. Col. Vikram Parashar, SC
» Lt. Cdr. Suraj Parashar, SC

Being a Brahmin was never just about learning scriptures; it was always about upholding Dharma in whatever form the times demanded.

@BiharBilla CSE in NIT Surathkal or Warangal. That's my take.

You don’t want to invest in Bihar or back Bihari founders, but suddenly you want an IPL team there? At least get the basics right first.

[Anil Agarwal @AnilAgarwal_Ved]

क्या आपको नहीं लगता Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians और Kolkata Knight Riders की तरह बेमिसाल बिहार की भी एक टीम होनी चाहिए?

बिहार की मिट्टी ने देश को बहुत से बेहतरीन क्रिकेट खिलाड़ी दिए हैं।

पटना में जन्मे ईशान किशन ने सबसे कम गेंदों में ODI double century लगाई। समस्तीपुर के वैभव सूर्यवंशी सबसे कम उम्र में IPL debut करने वाले खिलाड़ी बने। और गोपालगंज के साधारण परिवार में जन्मे साकिब हुसैन की शानदार गेंदबाजी पर आज पूरी दुनिया की नज़रें हैं।

लेकिन एक बात मुझे हमेशा खलती है कि हमारे बिहार को क्रिकेट में अब भी वह नाम और पहचान क्यों नहीं मिल पा रही जिसके हम हकदार हैं।

मेरा हमेशा से यह सपना और प्रयास रहा है कि बिहार के युवाओं को हर क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़ने का पूरा मौका मिले, हमारे खिलाड़ियों को भी world class infrastructure और support बिहार में ही मिलना चाहिए। मुझे पूरा भरोसा है कि अगर हमारे बच्चों को सही प्रेरणा और सुविधाएं मिलें, तो हमारे बिहार से बनने वाली टीम दुनिया की बेस्ट टीम होगी।

और मैं इस काम में बिहार के युवाओं के साथ पूरी मज़बूती से खड़ा हूँ। बिहार की क्रिकेट टीम और यहाँ के खिलाड़ियों को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए मैं अपनी तरफ से unconditional support दूंगा।

बिहार मेरे लिए सिर्फ एक राज्य नहीं, एक emotion है।

और अब वक्त आ गया है कि हमारी मिट्टी का talent मैदान पर दिखे।

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.

@KaifAlam320791 @Rajiv1841 When Ishan Kishan moved to Jharkhand, Bihar didn’t even have a first-class team, our association was banned. For over 20 years, we were completely out of that circuit. I have played against him twice when he used to come to Gardanibagh Sporting Club for club cricket.
