@tacobellindia You call this a Taco? The difference between product photo & execution. What a shame you bring to @tacobell name. Check the rice bowl quantity, half empty & compare to product photo. Cheats! Trashy food! Missing ingredients!
@AbhishBanerj Bullshit logic. Don't defend the indefensible.
E20 can't be mandated for all non compatible cars. That's the crime of this govt.
In a free market, let people decide which fuel mix they want in their car.
E20 critics include staunch Modi supporters, so don't give UPA analogy.
@amitmalviya@sarpamedha There is widespread public anger and dissatisfaction.
Nonsensical post of yours only makes public irritation worse.
public discourse should be honest. Where r the studies that minister quotes? Will govt compensate for hardware losses based on surreptitious rollout of E20
@ramprasad_c@nitin_gadkari Or other possibility is that Modi is scared of Gadkari.
Why else would the minister be allowed to ruin the automobile industry with nonsensical whimsical policies, with regards to Fuel type and fuel mix; and have his family business benefit from his own policies.
@ramprasad_c@nitin_gadkari is rightly getting the blame for his ethanol shenanigans.
But he couldn't have done it alone without tacit approval from Modi. Or perhaps the real culprit for this policy is Modi himself! Y else is PM stubbornly allowing this loss of public goodwill.
The appropriate response to Pakistani airspace closure to Indian aircraft is not concessions on IWT abeyance.
The appropriate response is to close Indian airspace access to all aircraft (of all countries) if entering from Pakistan (and get them to build pressure on pakis).
@Iyervval@myogiadityanath@saharanpurpol It is sometimes not possible to judge a stationary or reversing vehicle.
But driving against traffic direction is both a death wish and murder attempt.
@Mahesh10816 No such problem on Indian highways.
Due to bad driving, the whole road becomes an obstacle course, which requires avoiding slow truck in overtaking lane, & findings gaps between bikes & cars occupying 2 lanes.
@MeghUpdates If there is a jam of 1000 cars, and no valid reason, then public police outrage is justified, Unless there are military operational reasons to block road.
Hearing the policeman, it appears the road block was not sanctioned.
@Lammie_Art01 Had a software company offer a job with a 2 year lock in contract.
Told them it reeks of slavery.
HR person on phone seemed to have choked on himself hearing that.
Qutbuddin Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty in the Delhi Sultanate, died after falling from a galloping horse.
But is it really possible that a general who rode a horse for the first time at the age of 11 and fought countless battles on horseback could die from a galloping horse?
Real History vs. Fabricated Story
When Qutbuddin Aibak plundered Rajputana, he killed the king of Mewar and captured Prince Karan Singh. Along with the looted wealth and the prince, he also took the prince's horse "Shubhrak" to Lahore.
In Lahore, Karan Singh tried to escape and was captured. Qutbuddin ordered his beheading and, to add insult to injury, ordered a polo match played using the dead prince's head as a ball.
On the day of the beheading, Qutbuddin arrived at the venue riding Shubhrak. Upon seeing its master Karan Singh, the horse bolted uncontrollably, causing Qutbuddin to fall from the horse. Shubhrak kicked the fallen Qutbuddin with a powerful kick. The powerful blows to the chest and head proved fatal. Qutbuddin Aibak died instantly in 1210 CE.
Everyone was stunned. Shubhrak ran towards Karan Singh, and taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, the prince jumped onto his valiant horse, which immediately took off running and began the most arduous race of his life.
It was a continuous race for almost more than three days, finally stopping at the gates of the kingdom of Mewar. When the prince dismounted, Shubhrak stood still like a statue. Karan Singh lovingly stroked the horse's head, but was shocked when Shubhrak fell to the ground.
The powerful horse managed to save its master and safely escorted him back to his kingdom before succumbing to his injuries.
We've read about Chetak, but the story of Shubhrak is beyond belief! Facts like this never make it into the curriculum of our modern education system. Most of us haven't even heard of it. Have we?
It is permanently buried in history. It's time to share the glory.

A Heart-Wrenching True Story…
One Father, Seven Daughters, and a Well in Gujranwala
Gujranwala, now in Pakistan’s Punjab, was once the land associated with the legendary Sikh general Hari Singh Nalwa. Before Partition, a prosperous Punjabi Hindu Khatri family lived there. The head of the household was Lala Balwant Khatri, affectionately known as Lala Ji. He was a wealthy landlord with a grand mansion, where he lived with his wife, Prabhavati, and their eight children—seven daughters and one son.
Their eldest child, Baldev, was 20 years old. His sisters were Lajwanti (Lajo), 19; Rajwati (Rajjo), 17; Bhagwati (Bhago), 16; Parvati (Paro), 15; Gayatri (Gayo), 13; Ishwari (Isho), 11; and the youngest, Urmila (Urmi), just 9 years old. Prabhavati was seven months pregnant, and the family eagerly awaited the arrival of another child.
It was 1947. India had gained independence, but Partition had torn the land apart. Violence spread rapidly across Punjab. Reports of massacres of Hindus and Sikhs began pouring in from the surrounding areas. Armed mobs shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “La ilaha illallah” advanced through towns, declaring that Hindu and Sikh women would not be allowed to escape to India.
Yet Lala Ji remained hopeful. He believed in communal harmony and trusted his Muslim neighbors. Gujranwala, he thought, was home to people who revered the teachings of Sufi saints like Bulleh Shah and Baba Farid. He was convinced that lifelong friendships would triumph over hatred.
On 18 September 1947, a Sikh postman arrived at the mansion, breathless and terrified.
“Lala Ji, leave immediately! They’re coming for your daughters. Salim will take Lajo. Sheikh Muhammad will take Rajjo…”
Before he could finish, Lala Ji slapped him.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Salim is Mukhtar’s son. Mukhtar is family.”
The postman replied, “Mukhtar himself is leading the mob. Hundreds of Hindus and Sikhs are fleeing. A convoy is leaving within the hour. Take your family to the gurdwara.”
With that, he rushed away to warn other families.
Prabhavati, who had overheard everything, stood weeping. She confessed that Mukhtar had visited weeks earlier with a proposal: he wanted Lajo married to Salim. Lajo had quietly admitted that Salim and his friends had been harassing her, forcing her to stop leaving the house.
Only then did Lala Ji realize the danger.
The family fled to the local gurdwara, already packed with terrified Hindu and Sikh families. Men stood guard with swords. Wrestlers from local akharas sharpened their blades. Mothers clutched their children in silence.
Soon, the roar of an approaching crowd echoed through the streets.
Thousands marched toward the gurdwara, shouting religious slogans and threats. The defenders barricaded the gates. A local priest and wrestler, Sukhdev Sharma, addressed those inside:
“They have come for our mothers, our sisters, our wives, and our daughters. They will ask us to surrender and abandon our faith. I have made my choice. I will neither bow nor allow them to touch our women.”
The gurdwara thundered with cries of resolve.
When the first attackers tried to storm the entrance, several were cut down. For a brief time, the defenders held their ground.
Then reinforcements arrived.
Outside stood thousands.
Inside were barely 400 Hindus and Sikhs, most of them women, children, and the elderly.
The attackers dragged forward a Sikh woman who had already been brutally assaulted. She was unconscious and naked. Before the horrified defenders, one of the attackers mutilated her body and threw her inside the gurdwara.
The people sheltering within had heard stories of such atrocities.
Now they witnessed them.
The final assault began.
As the mob broke through, Lajwanti looked at her father and said:
“Do it, Bapuji. I will never become a Muslim.”
Lala Balwant collapsed in tears. No father could imagine raising a sword against his own child.
Lajo pleaded again.
“If you don’t… they will…”
