From a small village in Punjab to Finland’s biggest football stage, Minerva Academy has created history!
Built on Coach Ranjit Bajaj’s belief, sacrifice and relentless passion, this academy went from having no facilities to defeating Liverpool FC 6–0 and becoming the first Indian team to win the Helsinki Cup.
A reminder that dreams don’t need perfect conditions — they need people who refuse to give up.

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:
In 2000, 3 days before Christmas, 3 LeT jihadis opened indiscriminate fire at the Red Fort and killed 2 soldiers of the Indian Army and 1 security guard.
Three days before Christmas.
By Christmas, one of them was in police custody. Paki Muhammad Arif, alias Ashfaq, was picked from an apartment more than 11 hours away by road. Along with a pistol and live rounds.
Much is said and written of police lethargy in this country but how often do you hear of such swift aprehension?
By March 2001, a chargesheet was already in with Arif and 21 other names.
Know when the trial began?
September.
Not for all 22, but only 11.
A Lashkar terrorist is caught with evidence and trial takes 7 months to even commence. When do you think the verdict could’ve come?
October 31.
2005.
Thankfully, the verdict is in favor of the State. Death penalty for Arif, Jail for his wife Rehmana Yusuf Farooqui (bitch is Indian, by the way).
So at least one jihadi is hanged. Finally!
Not so soon.
We have a “rule of law.” Jihadi goes to High Court.
Remember, more than 230 witnesses have been recorded in support of the verdict at the trial court. Of course the higher court would agree. It does. But takes two whole years.
Hang him now?
Nope. Supreme Court.
This one agrees with the verdict too. But takes...hold your breath...4 years to say so.
We’re in 2011 now. Second half. Anyway, Supreme Court says you should hand, so you should hang, no?
Nope. Review petition, curative petition, yada yada yada...by the time we’re in 2014, the whole legal paradigm has shifted. A foreign terror convict (not accused, convict) who should have been hanged...has been made the basis for a change in the very SOP of Indian judiciary. Allow me to explain:
Earlier review petitions were heard in a closed-door setting inside judges’ chambers. No oral arguments were allowed. The judges would simply read the written files and pass an order. This is called “hearing by circulation” because the case papers are literally “circulated” among the judges rather than argued orally.
In Mumahhad Arif’s 2014 hearing, the SC ordered that this be changed to “open court hearing” for death row inmates.
The whole process was reset. Typically, a review or curative petition is only allowed once, that too within 30 days of the verdict. This ruling practically rendered all past reviews in the case immaterial and allowed a fresh petition for an open court hearing.
The highest court of the land just offered the terrorist a lifeline.
The lifeline is grabbed.
A fresh review petition is filed. Heard. And dismissed once again. But now we’re closing 2022.
Hanging finally?
Nope.
There’s still a final ace left to be played: The President of India.
A mercy plea is filed with Ms. Murmu. She rejected the plea (thank goodness)...
TWO YEARS LATER.
So trial lost, HC lost, SC lost, two reviews lost, President lost...NOW can we hang him finally?
Nope. Now it’s back to SC with a curative plea.
Just for the plea to be heard, we go from 2024 to 2026.
Jan 21 this year the SC agreed to examine a fresh curative plea from Arif based on “evolving jurisprudence regarding the death penalty,” putting his execution on hold once again.
As of this tweet, the Pakistani jihadi who opened indiscriminate fire at random unsuspecting Indians at the heart of its capital...
Remains as far from the noose as he was two decades ago.
The story of Indian judiciary.
People get fined for overspeeding, wrong parking, no seatbelt and many other violations.
But no government official is ever punished for robbing citizens of their basic dignity on the road.
Devastated to see this video. Parents of 34 year of Sarthak Mattoo who was killed by a speeding Thar while he was driving his bike in Delhi’s Vasant Kunj. Hope justice prevails. On His Way To Work, Gurugram Rider Dies As Thar Rams Him In Delhi https://t.co/mSiFVOwIQU
Yasin Malik’s men didn’t stop at raping the 27-year-old Kashmiri Hindu nurse Sarla Bhatt. They then murdered her, engraved the acronym ‘JKLF’ on her body, and mutilated it out of sheer contempt for her Hindu identity. After that, they issued multiple warnings to her family against cremating her remains according to Hindu rituals. The family still went ahead with the cremation, defying the threats. When they went to collect her cremated remains (asthi) later, a mob of around 200 Islamists descended upon the crematorium and stomped over them.
They didn’t stop even at that. They then bombed her family home with a grenade.
Do you really think all 200 of those monsters who showed up at the crematorium were foreign infiltrators, Pakistani terrorists, or JKLF members? These are the questions that make many Kashmiri Muslims very uncomfortable. The moment you raise these issues, especially when they present a narrative portraying their community as victims, they label you an Islamophobe or resort to similar accusations.
I have seen all kinds of Islamists, but the tribe in Kashmir is the craftiest. Many of them pretend to be atheists in private, yet their public behaviour and political leanings tell a completely different story. Very hard to take their words at face value.
Dear @PriyankKharge@alokkumar6994 sir, we are residents living around Parappana Agrahara Central Jail and have been suffering for years due to the prison jammer. This is no longer just a connectivity issue—it is a public safety issue. Calls disconnect frequently... 1/4

A heartbreaking reminder of a pain that still echoes through Kashmir
After 36 long years, an elderly Kashmiri Pandit woman returned to her ancestral home in Danew, Bogund, Kulgam.
She touched the soil she was forced to leave behind, kissed the old walnut tree standing silently in her courtyard, knelt before it in prayer, and broke down in tears. For a moment, time stood still. The tree had waited for her; the home had remembered her.
Some wounds never heal. Some separations never end.
And one cannot help but ask: where will those find peace who turned these innocent people into refugees in their own land, who tore them away from their homes, their memories, and their roots?
The difference between the two Kashmirs is clear:
Pakistan-occupied Kashmir & Gilgit-Baltistan: Enforced disappearances, torture, media censorship, brutal crackdowns, and heavy militarization — even in areas allegedly under dispute or external influence.
Indian J&K: Constitutional rights, elections, free speech, and opportunities for development and growth.
One side is described as suppressing its people, while the other is described as offering democratic participation and empowerment.
Choose facts over propaganda.

When you realise India cancelled lakhs crore worth of projects in the name of environment and China won every single contract that followed, the entire story looks very different.
This is not about environmentalism. This is about who benefited every single time India said no.
Between 2009 and 2014 China was aggressively expanding its industrial capacity at a scale the world had never seen. Steel. Mining. Infrastructure. Manufacturing. While Beijing was building at full speed, something very different was happening inside India.
Every major project that got announced faced the same pattern. NGO protests arrive almost immediately. Environment Ministry officials respond with remarkable speed. Project halted. Investors stuck. Years pass. Companies give up and leave.
POSCO from South Korea was bringing the largest foreign direct investment project in India's history. Fifty two thousand crore. Steel manufacturing. Jobs. Industrial capacity. In 2010 it was halted. Then delayed again. Then delayed again. POSCO eventually walked away after years of waiting.
It was not alone.
Vedanta. ArcelorMittal. Mega projects across mining and steel that would have built India's industrial backbone were buried under layers of bureaucratic obstruction so thick that the companies simply exhausted themselves and left. Science research facilities got halted. Hydroelectric projects that would have powered India's growth for decades got stopped in the name of environmental protection.
Now look at what happened in the international market every time India's mining or steel project got cancelled.
The demand those projects would have met did not disappear. The world still needed the steel. Still needed the minerals. Still needed the industrial output. And every single time India stepped back from that supply, China stepped forward to fill it.
Normal environment clearance processes on paper. The systematic strangulation of India's industrial growth underneath.
The question worth asking is the same one nobody in that era was asking loudly enough.
Was this genuinely about protecting India's environment? Or was someone else's economy the real beneficiary of every project India cancelled?
The timing is too consistent. The pattern is too clean. And the winner is always the same.
Uno de los fenómenos más extraños que verás en los últimos días…
Algunas vez te habías preguntado en dónde termina la lluvia?
Pues en este partido de fútbol los jugadores pudieron descubrirlo 😱😱😱

Propaganda Queen 🫅
I Strongly despise Mehbooba Mufti. Portraying Kashmir as a place of fear & hell while glorifying life in PoJK, she is anti-Kashmiri Pandit and anti-India.
A former CM should stand with victims, not amplify Pakistan’s tune for cheap attention. This isn’t politics — it’s betrayal of every Indian who suffered in the Valley.
Shame !
@ad_airports What is this harassment you are doing with your transfer passengers. Your security personal touching my wife without her consent. And after my intervention he started intimidating and threatening me as well. He was forcefully removing her non removable gold ornaments
