Assam’s Naskara Lower Primary School headmaster Tazem Sikder, his colleague Nripen Rabha, and Class 3 students Jiarul Ali Khan and Haidor Ali Khan on #IndependenceDay in 2017. Next year, Haidor found his name missing from draft NRC though his mother & two siblings figured in it.

Wealthy household #1: exclusively uses footpath to park large cars

Wealthy household #2: has built over the entire footpath, illegal ramps

Only the poor encroach. The rich own.

Breaking news!

Dr Soumya Swaminathan @doctorsoumya has been elected as FRS, Fellow of Royal Society, one of the highest global hours that a scientist can receive.
@royalsociety

With her father Bharat Ratna Prof Swaminathan also being elected as FRS, this is the first daughter-father FRS duo from India.

Also she is the second Indian woman scientist being elected in 365 years history of Royal Society, the first being Prof Gagandeep Kang.

Very proud moment for Indian Science & indeed for us Indians.

Heartiest congratulations dear Soumya!

It is one thing to conquer Bengal. It is another thing to rule it.

It is evident that they have no idea how to deal with any of this, leading to the killing of many young men across parties. So much for ending post-poll violence.

[Anant Gupta @AnantGuptaAG]

Amazed to see that data gyanis have muddied the waters wrt the Bengal SIR.

It is quite simple:

1. The SIR was not just about electoral math, but about citizenship politics in Bengal.

2. Why look at who won how many seats? The point is who lost and how.

[Aparna @chhuti_is]

My 10 takeaways from West Bengal result. BJP victory built on SC-ST consolidation, urban gains, district-level sweeps, and a strong performance across migration zones. Voter-roll deletions mattered in a set of close, demographically sensitive seats.

কি হবে আমি জানি না, তবে দিনের শেষে আমি বাংলার সন্তান। রবীন্দ্রনাথ ও নজরুলের বাংলার সন্তান। আমি গর্বিত আমি বাঙালী। পাসপোর্ট বদলাতে পারি, কিন্তু এই পরিচয় অস্বীকার করতে পারি না।

আর আমার বাঙালীয়ানা অসহায় মানুষের পাসে থাকার সংস্কৃতি।

জয় বাংলা! ফ্যাসিবাদী মুর্দাবাদ!

Pol pundits calling it peaceful & bloodless election. In sociology we teach a paper on 'structural violence' by Harvard Univ Prof Paul Farmer. Numbers of death on documents anxiety, heart attack, suicide have crossed double digits long back. Most violent election in that sense.

@swatiatrest Bhishon catchy! 🤣

Don't know for how long it will hold true for me, but started the day with আমার এই দেশেতে জন্ম যেন এই দেশেতে মরি and broke down completely. My father used to sing this to me as a child, and tell me stories of what Sukumar Sen & our 1st elections.
FWIW, go and vote, folks

People are making fun of the "Kolkata is not just Howrah" thing, but imagine saying "each lane tells a story" while standing behind Shbhabazar Rajbari. Yes, the place where Clive attended Durga Puja after defeating Siraj at Plassey will obviously have some stories lmao
