Ever wondered what the 2017 Women's Cricket World Cup did to Indian Women Cricket?

Dear Supreme Court of India,
140 crore Indians are busy earning money and taking care of their families. They do not have the time, money or power to fight the Government. That is why people look towards the Supreme Court for justice.
Please do not wait until it is too late.
Every day E20 petrol is being promoted across the country. People are told it is completely safe. Ministers openly say, "Show me one vehicle anywhere in the world that had problems because of E20." But in the Supreme Court, the Government says E20 is still under study and the final results will come next year.
How can both be true?
If the study is not over, why is E20 being pushed on the whole country?
If everything is already proved, why tell the Supreme Court that the study is still going on?
Why are people not given the choice to buy normal petrol?
Why should 140 crore Indians become part of something that is still being studied?
The Government has all the power. People cannot leave their jobs, spend years in court and fight the Government. That is why the Supreme Court was made, to protect the common people when nobody else can.
Please ask one simple question.
If E20 is still under study, why is it being forced on the people?
Indian citizens are not for testing. Our vehicles, our hard earned money and our daily lives should not be put at risk without giving us a choice.
Ishan Kishan is a terrific cricketer who has just essayed an amazing international comeback.
He has also made almost a 100 crores just from IPL fees, not counting international duty and endorsements. This cheque is not a 100th of what he has already made and he's not the greedy sort.
So one can only assume this was literally a payout for a photo-op with him to ensure that the others in the picture got into the papers and all over social media.
Obviously, why spend one crore of government money on creating facilities or training centres or bankrolling poor athletes when you can instead use it to create a photo op by paying the one of the few athletes from your state who really does not need the money!
And that's why sport in India is where it is.
An angry lady’s image shouting at a political leader and his party for having stopped the road has gone viral.
That one woman has said what millions of us feel. Stop blocking roads for your political agendas. Stop blocking roads, temples, for VIPs.
People have work, emergencies, lives. This entitlement has gone too far.
rahul dravid making his lifetime achievement speech all about the impact everyone else has had on the sport and him is so telling of his character. what a man fr
A hospital bombed in Afghanistan during Ramadan by Pakistan…
Where is international law now? Where is humanity now?
How many innocent lives must be lost before the world speaks? 💔
Bad, worse & ugly of Modi ji.
Didn't changed 30% slab, 80C, 80D, home loan limits in the old regime.
Worse: Those which were there, increased it like surcharge at 50L.
Ugly : brought new tax like capital gains, tax on PF, NPS etc.
He did surchargical strike on the tax payers.
15 years in power is not a short term.
It’s enough to build systems that actually work, clean cities, proper footpaths, effective waste management.
Yet we’re still living around garbage dumps and chaos.
We deserved better.
1.4 billion people and we’re celebrating Instagram followers? Those can be bought overnight. If this is what counts as a “milestone,” that itself says enough.
8.45 am - Peak Rush Hour - people rushing to work, airports. There’s a sprawling four lane coastal road which can easily handle all the traffic including a ministers convoy. But NO!! It must blocked out and left empty - Cause of protocols. Seriously!!!!
Can we raise bills for damage caused by unadvertised VIP movement? Flights, penalties, challans? Only fair ….
I started running a decade ago. Every morning, I’d find myself on Carter Road, chasing the ocean breeze. That wind is what made me fall in love with this city and running.
I want to feel it again. And dystopian as it is, I put on a mask before lacing my shoes. It took me back to the pandemic. Except there’s no virus in the air endangering our life. The air itself could kill us.
I never imagined a day when the very thing we breathe to survive would become a luxury. My doors and windows stay shut. I bought an air purifier. I moved my runs to a treadmill, staring at a wall instead of the sea. And it still isn’t enough.
Running is the thing that keeps me whole. It clears my head. It heals something in me that nothing else reaches. But now the act I built my life around feels like it’s quietly destroying me. Pollution is undoing what years of discipline and sweat and devotion built, one breath at a time.
This isn’t seasonal anymore. It shouldn’t be political. But somewhere between the data and the denial, people like me are out there in masks, grieving a morning run, mourning a city we loved.
Is basic accountability really too much to ask for?
For the past 4 years in the bjp regime, we have constantly seen the AQI getting terrible.
People protest, people voice it, people suffer.
Meanwhile the regime further allows deforestation in cities, in forests, in wildlife sanctuaries. Allows non stop construction activity- legal and illegal.
And then the regime participates in climate weeks and asks citizens what they can do!
Climate Action cannot be apolitical.
Political ideologies must clarify their actions on climate.
It’s no longer about the citizens acting, it’s about governments and big corporations acting.
Will an inquiry be ordered @CMOMaharashtra ?? @MMRDAOfficial chief needs to be sacked! There are too many issues. Otherwise disband this entity. What a far cry from the days of #RCSinha! Agree @nitin_gadkari ??
Yesterday’s metro incident has once again exposed the lacunae the system is suffering from.
Mulund’s elected MLA @mihirkotecha had submitted an entire list of loopholes with all details to the concerned authorities sometime ago, but no action.
A citizen on X had pointed out the cracks; authorities dismissed it instead of conducting a thorough investigation along the route.
If the voice of elected representatives isn’t heard, if concerns of citizens aren’t heard, then who is being heard?
₹5 lakh for the victim is nothing but adding salt to the injury; a ₹6 crore penalty on contractors won’t serve any major purpose.
Action needs to start at the top. Those responsible need to be shunted out. The babus and engineers who always go scot-free must be held accountable. Heads must roll. Only exemplary action can restore common people’s faith in the system.
Mere words cannot compensate for the loss of trust.
6 days ago - someone had posted about the metro pillar crack on the same Mulund stretch (marked in red)
@MMRDAOfficial being the bhikarchot org it is, painted it, said the tweet is fake news, asked cyber cell to take action against the person, & announced all is well.
marked in dark blue is where the slab fell today on a car & rickshaw & 1 person died
what will it take to make @mybmc accountable?
if the ministers are first to take credit then they should assume this liability too
fyi - all the accused from the Ghatkopar Hoarding case are out on bail since early 2025 - 17 people died in it
ZERO updates for salaried taxpayers. Not a single word, not a rupee of relief. it’s a disgusting betrayal.
A shameless, senseless government that survives by bleeding salaried income-tax payers dry, year after year, without remorse or accountability.
And don’t forget, ₹15 CRORES were casually spent on a one-day luxury trip. Money for extravagance? Unlimited.
Relief for honest taxpayers? ZERO. SHAME.SHAME.
