Bandra, Maharashtra: Following High Court directions, Western Railway authorities conducted a demolition drive in the Garib Nagar area of Bandra to remove illegal constructions near the station, including an unauthorised religious structure. Police resorted to a lathi charge to control the crowd after some individuals created a ruckus and began pelting stones at the officers

#WATCH | Pune PC Amitesh Kumar says, "Around 8 p.m. today, we got some information that there was a bomb like device found on the hospital premises. The police team, along with the bomb disposal squad, immediately reached the spot. The bomb disposal squad carried this device after following due mandated protocols and took it to an open ground at the gliding centre. The bomb was successfully defused. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) team did a commendable job. All teams have been put in service to investigate the case. The Pune City Police, local police station, as well as the crime branch and the ATS teams, are jointly investigating... We are investigating the case from all possible angles. ATS is involved..."

Nehru awarded the first CEC the Padma Bhushan and later made him Vice-Chancellor of Burdwan University

Indira Gandhi awarded the second CEC the Padma Vibhushan

3rd CEC acted neutrally during Congress infighting, so no award for him

4th CEC received the Padma Vibhushan

5th CEC received the Padma Vibhushan for his tenure during the Emergency

7th CEC received the Padma Bhushan and was appointed by Indira Gandhi

Rajiv Gandhi later made him Governor of Gujarat

10th CEC, T. N. Seshan, contested the 1999 Lok Sabha election on a Congress ticket against L. K. Advani from Ahmedabad

11th CEC, M. S. Gill, was a Congress Rajya Sabha member from 2004 to 2016

During Manmohan Singh’s tenure, he served as Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs

12th CEC conducted Youth Congress polls

15th CEC recommended the removal of the sixteenth CEC, Naveen Chawla, 2 month before the 2009 Lok Sabha election, yet Congress appointed him

16 CEC, Naveen Chawla, was flagged by the Shah Commission report, which stated that he was unfit to hold any office

After this controversial appointment, followed by the failures of UPA-2, Congress’s pattern was exposed

Congress always used the post of CEC as a partisan instrument, never as a level playing field.

Post 2014 appointees are not quid pro quo.

Every CEC before Gyanesh Kumar was appointed solely by the Prime Minister. His appointment, involving the opposition for the first time, makes him India’s most democratic CEC.

Kudos to @indianmatrix for this wonderful Infographic.

Dhurandhar did not just break records. It broke the pretence of an entire ecosystem.

Dhurandhar has turned into a public flogging of the usual frauds, Bollywood’s aman ki asha chorus, Wikipedia’s editorial fixers, and the imported critics who cannot bear an unapologetic India.

The Dhurandhar fight has exposed something much bigger than one film page.

It has exposed Wikipedia’s central fraud: it presents itself as a neutral encyclopedia, but on contentious subjects it often behaves like a political battlefield controlled by a small editorial class. Wikimedia itself says Wikipedia is governed by volunteer editors, that neutrality is a bedrock policy, and that the Foundation does not control article content. That is the theory. The Dhurandhar episode showed the practice. I remember @UnSubtleDesi and @OpIndia_com show their fradulent behaviour in an investigation few months back.

But when does a blockbuster Indian film become politically inconvenient? What happens? Not a calm summary of dispute. Not a balanced note that critics differ. Instead, an edit war erupts over whether the first line should brand the film “propaganda,” and Wikipedia has to lock the page so only “experienced” editors can shape it.

That alone should alarm people.

Because the moment a page is locked, Wikipedia stops being the romantic fantasy of “anyone can edit” and starts looking like what it often really is: a gated republic of veteran editors, procedural jargon, and ideological muscle memory.

Even Jimmy Wales had to step in. And made a rare intervention and pushed back on Wikipedia itself taking sides in the lead on a contested issue.

If neutrality is such a sacred principle, why did it require founder-level intervention to stop the encyclopedia from speaking in one voice on a live political dispute?

Who decides which sources are “reliable”? Who decides what gets “due weight”? Who decides when “consensus” has been reached? Wikimedia says this is an open and transparent community process. In reality, these rules are interpreted by entrenched editors who can close discussions, privilege favored sources, and freeze their preferred framing into the page.

That is the scam, that even @elonmusk keeps pointing out.

To my mind, this is why so many India-related fights on Wikipedia feel eerily familiar.

Because a small, highly active ideological left-wing radical editor class can dominate disputed pages, and once that happens, neutrality becomes whatever that class can proceduralize. That is not crowd wisdom. That is narrative capture by people who know the rulebook better than the reader ever will.

And anonymity makes the problem worse.

Wikimedia openly defends pseudonymous editing as protection for volunteers. Fine. But anonymity also reduces accountability when editors with strong ideological priors end up shaping politically explosive subjects read by millions. When the work is unpaid, anonymous, and intensely fought over, the obvious inference is that many of the most obsessive editors are not detached saints but partisans and ideologues.

This is why the “free encyclopedia” branding is so misleading.

Free is not the same as neutral.

Open is not the same as fair.

Visible edit histories are not the same as balanced outcomes.

The Dhurandhar row simply made the machinery visible.

A blockbuster Indian film depicting terror, memory and retaliation could not just be reviewed.

It had to be framed.

It had to be morally pre-labelled before the reader even arrived.

That is why I do not buy the innocent story anymore.

Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia. On polarised subjects, it can become a laundering machine that converts ideological preference into reference-text authority.

And yes, to me, the larger pattern looks less like random volunteer eccentricity and more like a global ultra-left editorial reflex hardening into platform power.

The Dhurandhar page did not damage the film.

It damaged Wikipedia.

Because it reminded millions of people that behind the benevolent gray interface is not some oracle of objective knowledge, but a human hierarchy of anonymous volunteers, procedural gamers, and ideological radical left-wingers trying to stamp their version of reality onto a page the world is told to trust.

National emergency requires emergent actions.

When global chokepoints threaten LPG supplies, Indian innovation has the power to secure sovereignty.

India’s own @CSIR-NCL Dimethylether (DME) technology can power kitchens with indigenous fuel. 🇮🇳

DME is a substitute for LPG with the advantage of cleaner combustion, lower NOx & Sox and  greater strategic resilience.
It can be produced from methanol derived from India’s own coal or biomass.

Indian science, Indian fuel, Indian kitchens: energy atmanirbharta.

.
@csir_ncl has successfully demonstrated the indigenous DME technology at 250 kg/day and partners are ready to build a 2.5 TPD demonstration plant quickly.

 It needs support from Centre for High Technology (CHT)  https://t.co/f2GplOAdbV, which has the funds precisely for such projects.

The Government is fully seized with the emergent situation.

https://t.co/TUBZgIjvG1

As a former Chairman of SAC to Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, I have myself seen how CHT has helped accelerate development of indigenous technology.

I urge  CHT to take emergent steps to immediately support scale up to deal with this national emergency.
