shit-posting as if my life depends on it

“I won’t march behind Anti-Hindu / Anti-Prime Minister slogans.”

The protests are being reframed from being about education, the NTA, the NEP, privatisation and state accountability into something allegedly driven by people who are “anti-Hindu” or “anti-PM.”

Classic propaganda move: change the subject. It’s saying that good citizens must support students without challenging state power — it’s nonsense. It makes no sense. And it is exactly what’s called controlled opposition. Something that gets absorbed and co-opted by the state.

It basically paints the government as an institution that is not responsible for the crisis which claimed student lives. Instead, it makes Modi a victim that deserves empathy. Wow.

95 years of hard-earned autonomy. Now under the scanner, this time the ISI

The Indian Statistical Institute (founded 1931 by P.C. Mahalanobis) is not just another campus. It is one of India’s rare institutions that was built on scientific independence, not bureaucratic control. The ISI Act of 1959 recognised it as an Institution of National Importance while preserving its society-based, faculty-driven character.

The new Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2026 proposes to scrap that framework. It converts ISI into a statutory body corporate, replaces the representative Council with a government-appointed Board of Governors, and significantly curtails the role of the Academic Council. Faculty and the Institute’s own statutory bodies have publicly said this was done with zero meaningful consultation with them.

The government’s pitch is “modernisation” and alignment with IIT/IIM-style governance. Critics inside ISI argue the opposite: it concentrates power, reduces elected academic voice, and opens the door to external interference in academic decisions. They also note that the 4th Review Committee (Mashelkar) did not recommend repealing the 1959 Act or abolishing the Society structure.

This is not an abstract governance debate. Institutions that produce independent data, rigorous statistical research, and critical inquiry need structural insulation from short-term political or bureaucratic priorities. Once that insulation is thinned, it is hard to restore.
Academic freedom is not a slogan. It is the operating condition of any serious research institute. ISI faculty are right to raise the alarm.

Parliament should insist on genuine consultation with the Institute’s own bodies before rewriting a 95-year-old model that actually worked. Another Premier Institute being Saffronised and being brought under RSS Siege.

You've all paid your taxes before the July 31 deadline. Now, with your tax money, the Govt has launched yet another campaign. These posters will soon be seen across the country.

I might not have the time to attend parliament, I might not have the time to visit the flood ravaged Assam. I might tell the country to cut down on expenditure. But I have all the time in the world for self promotion on tax payers money

[Prashant Pundir @kafkasbluebug]

modi being the woman-hater he is has of course singled out women, including the minor. “humare desh ki betiyan” nonsense again reduces a woman’s identity to her implied relation with the nation, or rather how the nation sees her. this tone-policing is a classic tactic of how an ideal, traditional, sanskari woman should sound and look like in India. hindutva is hell for women. and modi is the flag bearer of it.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

Sorry what is this “humari betiyan” nonsense? They’re equal citizens asking for accountability, not your property to be harassed/forgiven for non crimes at your will

[thandi coffee @baewaqufiya]

even Dharmendra Pradhan did not use the word SORRY, he did not apologise for his incompetent and dishonest conduct as an Education Minister, he was given a farewell w all respect... he did not even mention the students who svicided, but yes YAY WE GOT AN APOLOGY FOR BAD LANGUAGE

[AA @Adi_tea___]

No comments on the students who got lathi charged. No comments on why pelted guns were fired. No comments on the 20 students who died by suicide!

Even if AI wasn’t unethically built, I’d avoiding using it just from the mental atrophy alone. Every story I hear about AI dependency is alarming
