Some stories need more than the news.
Introducing SimplyPut — Hindustan Times’ new home for explainers.
When a low-pressure system parks over Delhi. When the same police force became the target ofx two countries' hacking operations. When a new HIV study makes headlines everywhere. The news tells you what happened. SimplyPut takes it apart.
The forces behind an event. The science behind a study. The wiring behind a policy. The mechanism behind a market move.
From national to global news, we explain how it works, why it matters and what to watch next — drawing on the journalists at the heart of the story and the experts who know it best. Written to be understood, in words that never slow you down.

VIDEO | Delhi Jantar Mantar protest: CJP spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka, says, "We were continuously appealing Sonam Wangchuk to end his hunger strike. It's been 27 days and his health has been deteriorating. We are very proud that Sonam ji has got two of our conditional demands approved by the government. We will not be subjected to any kind of legal action and we will get adequate compensation. The written details are yet to come, but Sonam ji has ended his hunger strike. We want to make it clear that this hunger strike will continue until the resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan. The resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan is the starting point of this hunger strike. We will not back down until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns."

Whoever is facing internet issues at Jantar Mantar and unable to post anti Modi content, can go to the BJP HQ and post! Wahan aapke liye internet chal raha hai 😊
जंतर-मंतर पर इंडियन एक्सप्रेस हिंदी की रिपोर्टर @swati_mishr ने जब सादी वर्दी में पुलिसवालों पर सवाल उठाया तो ढुलमुल जवाब के बाद पुलिसवाले बचकर निकलते नज़र आए.
दिल्ली पुलिस ने आदेश दिया था कि जंतर-मंतर पर ऑन-ड्यूटी हर पुलिसकर्मी यूनिफ़ॉर्म में ही रहेगा.
#Imp: Three young boys have been detained by the @DelhiPolice at Nizamuddin Police Station for carrying food to Jantar Mantar. Yes, you read that right!
Several reports of young kids being detained for no reason. Central Delhi being cordoned off. Why is the new @CPDelhi cracking down like he is serving in North Korea?
Please remember you are officers. Not goons of the government. People will not tolerate this. Stop terrorising young kids RIGHT NOW!

अरे Sir आ गए आप आपका टाइम तो 8 बजे का रहता है, आप तो आज 12 बजे प्रकट हुए महाराज अच्छा आपको “मुसद्दा” भी मिल गया, मैंने तो सोचा आपको मसौदा मिला होगा, कोई बात नही।
ये फास्ट ट्रैक कोर्ट की नौटंकी आप न करें,
कोर्ट के सामने आपकी CBI सबूत ही नहीं रखेगी तो कोर्ट क्या कर लेगी?
आज ही आपकी CBI ने कहा “पेपर लीक में पकड़े गए संजीव मुखिया के ख़िलाफ़ कोई सबूत नही”
2024 पेपर लीक में तो आपकी CBI ने 90 दिन तक चार्ज शीट ही दाख़िल नही की और सारे “पेपर चोर” छूट गए।
We are relieved and grateful that Sonam sir has ended his hunger strike after 26 days.
Thank you, sir, for your extraordinary courage and sacrifice. By putting your own life on the line, you awakened the conscience of an entire nation. Your life is far too precious to this country.
The Cockroach Janta Party’s peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar will continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns.
Just now in the presence of Union Ministers Sh. JP Nadda, Dr. Jitendra Singh and the senior leaders of Apex Body of Leh Ladakh I finally broke my fast after 26 days. Earlier 65 members of parliament from different political parties had visited or signed letters urging me to break the fast. This was done after long negotiations on various conditions and in view of possible violence in the country. I will explain the conditions in detail in a separate video very soon. Meanwhile I urge you all to stay very vigillant about not allowing violence of any kind anywhere.
People bringing in food from Nizamuddin have been detained by Nizamuddin Police.
On asking SI Brahm Prakash why they were detained, he’s like “wo khaana lekar jaa rahe they”
Like seriously, @DelhiPolice?
📍India
Police in New Delhi used tear gas, batons, and internet shutdowns against largely peaceful student-led protests on July 20 🧵⤵️

What is this behaviour Mumbai Police? Why is a male cop mandhandling a young female protestor like this? Why isn't he letting his female colleagues handle this? What action will be taken against him? This is unacceptable @Dev_Fadnavis
@BeingSalmanKhan Did Amit Shah threaten to ban your next film?
Everyone knows how honourable prime minister's whole govt is just surviving on blackmailing and extortion. Don't worry, the people of India will ensure that you get your freedom of speech back once Modi is gone.
👉 They impose NSA against our Children !
👉 They order shutting down of Hotels & Restaurants in Connaught Place in order to deny access to Food and Water to our Children !
👉 They shut down Internet now in 1.5 KMs area around Jantar Mantar on ground of “Public Emergency” !
👉 They beat up and hit our Children with Batons, Pellet Guns, Electric Shock Guns, Tear Gas shells and Nail studded Lathis in order to suppress them.
BUT, BJP & MODI JI WON’T SILENCE THE VOICE OF JUSTICE ……………..
NO DICTATOR COULD EVER DO IT, NOR WILL !
We're receiving multiple reports of students being randomly picked up from the streets while heading to or returning from Jantar Mantar and being detained.
We urge Delhi Police to stop these arbitrary detentions and the harassment of young students. Joining peaceful protest movement is not a crime.
