Default on farm loan, State will waive it. Burn rice stubble, State will ignore it. Steal electricity, State will subsidise it. Attack police, State will allow it. Eke an honest salary, State will tax it.

State will reward defaulters, polluters, and rioters, not honest citizens.

A girl traveling with a valid 1AC ticket was allegedly forced to give up her own reserved seat

because a ticketless VIP claiming to be a "Judge" wanted it.

A guy had booked a Lower Berth for his sister because she suffers from drop foot,

a medical condition that makes climbing to an upper berth extremely difficult.

However, shortly after the train departed, a ticketless woman,

who allegedly claimed to be a Judge, entered the cabin accompanied by the Police and the TTE.

When the family explained the passenger's medical condition and refused to give up their reserved seat,

the woman allegedly threatened to have them removed from the train.

Even more shockingly,
the TTE and the Police allegedly sided with her,

forcing the medically vulnerable passenger to move to the Upper Berth despite her condition.

A complaint was also filed through RailMadad,

but according to the family, no timely assistance was provided.

the biggest question is this

Has VIP culture become more important

than the rights of passengers with valid reserved tickets and genuine medical needs ?

Do you think
a reserved ticket and a passenger's medical needs should ever be ignored because of someone's influence or position ?

What would you have done

if you were in that family's place ?

Considering the powers and position you hold in the government, if you have anything above 0% share in ethanol production, then it's a clear breach of "Separattion of Duties".

Dear @narendramodi and @nitin_gadkari, I urge you to heed science, reason, and the concerns of ordinary Indians.

Here, I explain why India’s E20 policy hurts vehicle owners, water resource, and the environment; and helps the politician-middleman, the sugar, and the liquor lobby:

[Sincere Dibya @TheSincereDude]

A policy affecting 140 crore people; signed at 8PM, announced at a press conference the next morning.

No White Paper. No Parliamentary debate. No public consultation. No independent impact study.

Just a minister, a pen, and a family business waiting on the other side.

Let’s talk about what this “policy” actually is:

→ Son Nikhil’s company Cian Agro: ₹18Cr → ₹523Cr revenue in one year

→ Their stock: ₹37 → ₹638. A 2,184% surge; while “the file” was being drafted

→ Son Sarang: Director at Manas Agro. Also in ethanol. Also quietly booming.

Father writes the regulations. Sons hold the equity.

And we’re supposed to call this a “national dream.”

In any functioning democracy, a minister with direct family financial interests in a sector CANNOT unilaterally regulate that sector.

That’s not politics, that’s a constitutional principle.

Where is the Lokpal?
Where is the Prime Minister?
Where is the Parliament?

The dream isn’t about ethanol.

The dream is about a country where accountability has been fully, quietly, abolished.

Good morning 🌹…

[Gems @gemsofbabus_]

Since an FIR has been filed against me, I want to ask the Health Minister a few questions.

JP Nadda ji, why is FSSAI going after those who are raising questions instead of those accused of wrongdoing?

In a Democracy, does an ordinary citizen not have the right to question alleged irregularities in public institutions?

We exposed alleged corruption and irregularities in FSSAI’s recruitment process.

Instead of investigating the matter, FIRs are being used against those speaking in the public interest.

Is this accountability or an attempt to intimidate and silence dissent?

Democracy, simply put:

If ten people vote and six agree on a free lunch paid by the other four, the motion passes.

Majority decides- even when the bill is shared unequally.

Umr bhar judge yahi bhool karta raha, dhool chehre par thi, aaina saaf karta raha.

Judicial corruption in India is not only real, it is rampant. The Supreme court may have extracted a grovelling apology from a spineless NCERT but it forgets - you can run milords, you can't hide.

at some point people are gonna have to admit that if they want robots to be good at this stuff they need to stop making them look like humans. Why does this thing have two arms and hands instead of like 15 limbs that shovels all attach to

Muslims have no issue with their mazhab when they sell Hindu festival items

like idols, Holi colors, Rakshabandhan rakhis, or Diwali diyas

But if a kid accidentally splashes a bit of color on a Muslim woman during Holi, 50 Muslims will lynch a single Hindu.

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."
