Tere baap ki building hai kya jo gyan de rahi

[Imad🌿 @lbnBattuta]

An interesting shift between medieval and modern Muslim societies is how they viewed divorce.

In the 1400s MENA, it was common. In Cairo, around 30% of marriages ended in divorce. People remarried without social stigma, many even multiple times.

Today it's often stigmatized.

I think building an actual Park is very cheap, just put some trees, drains, benches and things to play and sit around. Whereas concrete slop is expensive and babus can make money out of it.

This sorry excuse of a human being is Congress MLA Malreddy Ranga Reddy, from Ibrahimpatnam, Hyderabad.

Dear Girls,

Don’t hesitate to slap the hell out of disgusting lechers like these.

No one.
Absolutely no one can and should touch you like this without your permission.

Not even an MLA!!!

Why can’t this sorry thing of an MLA speak without touching and feeling the girl?

Both the girls were clearly, clearly, clearly uncomfortable and the girl in red Kurtha kept moving away and he kept finding ways to touch her. Why would he put his hand on her waist??

Shameless vermin!

I am thinking today of the many dire predictions -- often made in bad faith -- in the late 1940s that Indian democracy would fail. It is heartbreaking, and infuriating, that Hindu nationalists may well fulfill that dark prophecy.

We talk about ease of doing business in India and compare it with China, there’s one big difference I’ve noticed:

In India, no one wants to feel accountable.

Let me share my experience with one of India’s biggest shipping companies, Delhivery.

I’m a co-founder of an electrolyte brand. We sent two packages worth almost ₹1lakh to Ladakh for the Ladakh Marathon because we wanted to sell them at the event.

They failed to deliver them and shipped them back to us.

For the next 40–45 days, there was no update on where the packages were. We kept following up, but nobody gave us a clear answer.

After 45 days, they told us the packages were lost and simply closed the case.
We were shocked by the lack of accountability. No explanation, no apology, no guilt. Just, “It’s lost.”

And when we asked why, how it happened, or what the next step was, nobody had an answer. Delhivery team doesn’t answer calls. We tried reaching out to different people, and most of them either said, “It’s not my department,” or cut the call.

Our team got stuck in an endless loop.

Shipping aggregator says to contact the shipper.
Shipper says to contact someone else.
Delhivery team doesn’t answer.

And the biggest loser is the entrepreneur who is willing to do business.

I’ve dealt with Chinese suppliers and logistics companies before, and the difference in accountability and service is very noticeable.

They are desperate to do business with you. They take ownership, respond quickly, and try to solve the problem.

That’s what ease of doing business should feel like, not this, definitely!

After several years of research, archives, writing and rewriting, I'm delighted—and, if I'm honest, a little nervous—to finally see the book make its way into the world.

Muslim Capitalism is published by @cambUP_History

[Danish Khan @DanishKhan80]

Who gets remembered when we tell the history of capitalism in India?

Tata. Birla. Bajaj. Godrej; Parsis. Marwaris. Jains. Banias.

What about the Bohras, Khojas & Memons? They were among Bombay's most important trading communities. Their story is the subject of my new book. 1/10

If there’s one thing I have come to hate, it is judges’ speeches outside court. A genre reserved for hypocrites.

Delhi Police uses force to remove Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi from Akashvani Bhavan

[Paranjoy Guha Thakurta @paranjoygt]

Live breaking news: a section within the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological parent of India’s right-wing, Hindu nationalist ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) wants Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar to resign immediately. A source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the CEC had become an embarrassment for the government led by prime minister Narendra Modi after lying to the Supreme Court of India. He said that the CEC had botched up the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls. Even the name of the former Deputy Prime Minister of India Lal Krishna Advani had been left out of the voter roll and this was unpardonable, my source added. Things are clearly become hotter for the government.

The corporatisation of Indian hospitals should be nipped in the bud. The US healthcare model is a completely broken one

Hospitals should be treated as public utilities. Power companies have a fixed RoE. Why not follow the same model for hospitals?

[Siddhesh Agarwal @siddheshdotcc]

Ask the people who have worked for Lala Companies. These guys want Meta/Google-level engineers for 3-3.5 LPA. Indian Companies love to underpay workers. Just to make a little extra profit.

Remember folks, profits are stolen wages.

[Amanda Goodall @Amanda_Goodall]

Rumor, backed by email evidence: Oracle is now offering voluntary severance packages to leaders across the company.

The offer is six weeks of severance, plus an additional week for every year of service.

This is the latest coming out of Oracle. Still unconfirmed, but signs are pointing to another round of layoffs in December as Oracle continues its shift toward becoming a data center company.

The voluntary packages may only be the opening move. If the rumors are right, looks like December is when more cuts begin.

[Punit Pania @Punit_Pania]

Luckily we approved data centers near lakes with 15 year tax breaks and subsidized water and electricity right before we announced a drought in the state ✌️ too much masterstroke

[India Radar @IndiaRadar1]

Indian Railways will have to supply water by train in Maharashtra.
80% of the state is facing drought in 2026.

Maharashtra is the largest producer of ethanol used in E20 petrol.
65% of the state’s irrigation water is consumed by sugarcane.

After 7 years as a geospatial data scientist, I quit my job.

I'm going all in to tell you stories hidden in satellite data

I've worked on cocoa and coffee supply chain monitoring, near real time flood maps with radar satellites that see through clouds, mapped trees in 3D to prevent wildfires and built pipelines that analyse crop yields at the scale of the US

But I've always kept going back to telling stories
I've done 70+ interviews of data scientists, CEOs, engineers, policy makers and artists all trying to better understand the impact of data, maps & satellites images in our lives

I've made videos seen by hundreds of thousands of people on how satellite & maps work.

So now I'm going all in

I believe the worlds need more people telling stories, of people; that statistics and data changes the world, but people and stories are what resonate.

A few weeks ago I already put a video out with @OurRadiantEarth about millions of people being miscounted in Argentina. One of the largest press outlets picked the story up, and now there's a conversation about this problem, that's what I want to go do

This is probably the scariest thing I've ever done in my life, but I'm also really excited about it

If you're a company doing cool, impactful stuff with satellite images, geospatial & data and can't get the world to pay attention, let's work together.

I have some cool stories coming up and some collaborations in the pipes.

So, if that sounds cool, I'll see you around on the internets
