Dr. Manmohan Singh’s comment made to a former CEC that he considered the Election Commission as ‘the soul of our democracy’ has invited media attention.
Dr. Singh’s comment is in sharp contrast to how the incumbent PM views the EC - as an instrument to exercise political hegemony.
Dr. Manmohan Singh could never have imagined that the EC would be so completely captured by his successor and that there would be CECs who would be so brazenly and blatantly partisan that they even commit mass disenfranchisement in pursuit of the PM’s political goals. It was neither Dr. Singh’s nature nor his ideology to politicise such national institutions.
History has been and will continue to be kind to Dr. Singh for his statesmanship and commitment to democracy and nation-building.

Free money from the US taxpayer is like a giant magnet attracting 90% of Earth to America!
So why wouldn’t vast numbers of illegals want to come here?
Unfortunately, if allowed, this will cause the collapse of America.
The folk singer @nehafolksinger is hounded for disrespecting a PM who deserves all the disrespect due to his (mis)conduct as a PM. But Allahabad high court equates it with ‘endangering sovereignty’.
Worse than emergency.
Indigo Saga
1. Govt issues rules to make flying safer in India.
2. Indigo didn’t like those rules.
3. Asks govt to rollback the rules. Govt refuses.
4. #Indigo collects money for flights that are never going to fly.
5. Don't issue cancellation advisory in advance.
6. Make public suffer for 24hrs inside airport by saying flight delayed. Knowing massive public noise would be created.
7. Refund the money after 24 hrs.
8. Earn interest on the money for months since people booked it.
9. Let entire nation suffer, by choking aviation transport totally.
10. Govt rollback the rules.
Welcome to India.
Basically none of the anti-immigrant talking points apply to Indian immigrants
"Cant speak english"
"Are on welfare"
"Engage in high crimes"
"Dont assimilate"
"Take more than they give"
"Dont pay taxes"
"Are literal spies"
Yet Indians seem to be the most talked about immigrant group and its clear why!

The Indian rupee has hit Rs. 90 today
- Amitabh is silent
- Akshay is silent
- Anupam kher is silent
- Juhi Chawla is silent
These people used to mock Manmohan Singh when rupee was at 55.
Shameless lot.
कांग्रेस को कमजोर बोलकर RJD कार्यकर्ताओं को खुश होने और कांग्रेस को गाली दिलवाने की तैयार के लिए मीडिया लगा हुआ है
सच्चाई ये है कल और आ��� में 200000 लाख मतदाता ही बड गए ये कैसे हुआ इसका जवाब किसी के पास नहीं
History shows us that having too much debt during an economic downturn leads to a classic, self-reinforcing cycle where:
1) The empire can no longer borrow the money to repay its debts
2) It prints a lot of new money, which devalues the currency and raises inflation
3) Living standards decline, leading to the rise of political extremism
4) Turbulent economic conditions undermine productivity and there is conflict about how to divide the shrinking resources
5) Populist leaders emerge pledging to take control and bring about order
121 assembly constituencies in Bihar are voting today. Mahamanav is deliberately addressing a public meeting in Bhagalpur and the Godi media is broadcasting it live.
Who said there is no level playing field in these elections? EC ki jai ho.
चुनाव आयोग ने पोलिंग वाले दिन 61.19% पोलिंग बतायी। फिर 6 तारीख को 65.65% वोटिंग दिखाई। 7 अक्टूबर को बताया कि 67.9% वोट पड़ी।
रातों-रात वोट कैसे बढ़ गयी? हर विधानसभा में औसतन 15175 वोट बढ़ाकर दिखाई गईं।
यह बहुत गंभीर मामला है। यह सिर्फ हरियाणा का नहीं, बल्कि पूरे देश और हमारे लोकतंत्र का सवाल है।
I do feel sad for Indian Americans. They literally contributed immensely to the Silicon Valley boom. It was never one-sided- yes, they achieved success, but the country benefited too. The U.S. tech boom owes a significant part of its success to Indians as well. It’s sad to see a peaceful community being targeted by low IQ Americans simply because they feel they can’t compete.
We didn’t fight against British alone during the freedom struggle, we also fought against the RSS.
The day our Constitution was written, RSS burnt our Constitution in Ramlila Maidan.

Cricket gyaan: Sarfaraz Khan not good enough to be in India A team while players with far lesser records in first class cricket get chance after chance? Makes zero sense. Somebody in India's cricket establishment clearly has a problem with him. Worse, typically, no explanation is given by the powers that be.
This is how the Brahmins treated Maa Savitribai Phule.
Censor Board has removed several scenes depicting the mistreatment of Maa Savitribai by Brahmins, while permitting propaganda films like The Kerala Story, Kashmir Files etc.,

I have a close friend who is a popular neurosurgeon at Hyd.
Simple guy, extremely smart, totally grounded, and very well respected all around.
He has a rule he once told me about - when he needs to form an opinion about a person, he brings up the topic of Mahatma Gandhi.
If the person speaks poorly of Gandhiji, he's automatically assigned a 'don't take him seriously' tag.
And that, I think, is a great filter to use in life 💡
Happy Birthday Gandhiji 🙏
