I can't believe the world has come to this. Such pure love between a father and a daughter objected to and sexualised. You're sick in your mind @AffluentMist get yourself checked by a doctor
That’s my friend and his daughter—our Paru Kutty Mol. You don’t know them, you don’t know what they talk about, and don’t understand the bond they share. Stay away from making baseless assumptions. Don’t try to spoil lives or the pure love and affection that exists between people
Dainik Bhaskar journalist went undercover as a laborer in a flour mill in UP and exposed a rotten system that's playing with people's health.
Operators in mills across Agra, Firozabad are mixing stone powder from Rajasthan into atta, increasing their earnings by 70–80 paise per kg i.e. 7k-8k extra per day. These adulterated flour, sold under brands like Maharaja Bhog Atta, is even reaching school mid-day meals. These calcium carbonate can clog intestines and damage the liver and kidneys.
Being in the D2C industry, I'm aware of many brands who do these kinds of things just to save margins and make more money. We keep calling them out, but this looks much bigger.
Government and FSSAI need to act and take control. Consumer health should never be compromised for profit.
This is the point we need to understand. If India wants to become a truly prosperous nation, 6 to 7 percent growth is not enough, even if it is the highest among major economies. We need to sustain growth above 10 percent for many years. That cannot happen without a strong manufacturing sector. And manufacturing cannot grow if entrepreneurs spend more time dealing with approvals and replying to regulators than building businesses.
Every policy involves trade-offs. We know fertilisers and pesticides are poisonous for us, yet we still use them because we must feed 1.4 billion people. We accept the smaller cost to achieve the larger goal.
The same principle applies to regulation. We need laws that punish fraud and protect people. But we also need to reduce the burden on honest entrepreneurs. A system designed to prevent every possible misuse often ends up slowing everyone.There will always be a few bad actors. They should face strict action. But we should not design the entire system around the exception. The bigger goal is an economy that can grow above 10 percent for a decade, create millions of jobs, and lift living standards across the country.

I again request the GoI. As these protests are resolved, India must:
- Ban social media for under 13
- Moderate social media for under 18
- Regulate social media companies
- Mandate a reporting tool under every post to GoI
- Setup a SM/M monitoring & response cell
- Study & research social media trends & Algo
- Take up propaganda on state media with countries
- Take up anti-Indian SM psyops with partners
- Monitor and control "finfluencers" farms
- Start units that can counter the infowar on India
And I hope India is using the current opportunity to study social media operations, organization, and algorithmic warfare of the adversaries on India.
To take the right corrective measures soon, understanding that adversaries and anti-india cabal have infiltrated SM companies with insiders.
So simple ad-hoc solutions like MPs, or even cyber armies, posting our narrative on Insta now is going to solve little, as algorithm will still suppress one side and amplify the other.

Don’t know about Rang De Basanti, but let me tell you what some of us millennials actually grew up watching.
I was in primary school during the 1993 Mumbai bombings -- too young to even understand what terrorism meant. But I distinctly remember my mom repeatedly warning me not to pick up anything lying around while playing outside because, you know, it could be a bomb.
That was childhood.
Then came the seemingly endless procession of attacks: the 1993 Mumbai blasts, Red Fort in 2000, Parliament in 2001, the Mumbai bus bombings and Akshardham in 2002, three separate blasts within eight months in Mumbai in 2003, the 2005 Delhi blasts, the 2007 Hyderabad bombings, and the 2008 Bangalore and Ahmedabad blasts.
In July 2006, I was supposed to be on one of the trains that was bombed near Mahim. I stayed back at the office because of a meeting. A completely mundane change of plans is probably the reason I’m alive to type this instead of being a name on a list of the dead.
I remember that evening far better than I remember any stupid movie. Our office went into lockdown. Phones were jammed. People were crying and frantically trying to reach their families. Nobody knew what was happening, whether there were more bombs, or whether someone they loved was lying dead inside a mangled train compartment.
Two years later came 26/11.
I had the misfortune of watching uncensored footage of the aftermath. One clip showed bodies being piled and stacked inside a makeshift room at CST while someone wheeled in another load on a bloodied wheelbarrow, with blood dripping onto the floor. The sanitised footage shown on television didn't come remotely close to what actually happened inside that station.
So yes, us millennials lived through an era where we went to work knowing that the crime of simply boarding the wrong train, getting on the wrong bus, eating at the wrong restaurant, or standing on the wrong street at the wrong fucking moment could get you blown to pieces or riddled with bullets.
Some of us literally went to work wondering, somewhere at the back of our minds, whether this would be the commute we wouldn't come home from.
So please, spare us millennials this sanctimonious horseshit about Rang De Basanti and what some Bollywood movie supposedly should have taught us about how to vote.
🚨🚨 Leandro Trossard on his bond with Arsenal: ❤️🤍
“Do I miss Arsenal? Not really… because Arsenal will always feel like home to me.
It’s like a child leaving their parents’ house to start a new chapter in life. You move away, but home is still there whenever you want to visit. When you feel homesick, you just drive back.
That’s how I see Arsenal. The doors will always be open because I’m a son of the club. The memories, the people, the fans—that connection never disappears.
No matter where football takes me, Arsenal will always have a special place in my heart.” 😅❤️🤍

I am always surprised when someone asks, “What exactly has Modi done?”
Then I begin listing the accomplishments, and the mood invariably shifts.
I’ve never understood this collective short-term memory loss. It isn’t just puzzling - it can be fatal for both the nation and its people.
So today I decided to look at just one area: education.
Specifically, the institutions established since 2014.
Too often, we form our opinions on hearsay, emotion and sentiment rather than evidence. So let’s look at the numbers. They may well challenge what you think you know.
- Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs)
First 67 years: 16 IITs established.
Last 12 years: 7 new IITs established, taking the total to 23.
Capacity expansion: 5 existing IITs expanded, adding 6,576 seats.
Global footprint: Two international IIT campuses established - in Zanzibar and Abu Dhabi.
- Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs)
First 67 years: 13 IIMs established.
Last 12 years: 8 new IIMs established, taking the total to 21.
Global footprint: In September 2025, IIM Ahmedabad opened its Dubai campus.
- All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)
First 67 years: 7 AIIMS established.
Last 12 years: 16 new AIIMS established, taking the total to 23.
- Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)
First 67 years: 9,977 ITIs.
Last 12 years: 4,705 new ITIs, taking the total to 14,682.
Skill development: PM–SETU (Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs), launched in October 2025, will upgrade 1,000 Government ITIs under a hub-and-spoke model.
- Universities
First 67 years: 723 universities.
Last 12 years: 607 new universities, taking the total to 1,330.
- Colleges
First 67 years: 38,500 colleges.
Last 12 years: 13,500 new colleges, taking the total to 52,000.
- Medical Colleges
First 67 years: 431 medical colleges.
Last 12 years: 387 new medical colleges, taking the total to 818.
- MBBS Seats
First 67 years: 51,348 seats.
Last 12 years: 77,628 additional seats, taking the total to 128,976.
- Postgraduate (PG) Medical Seats
First 67 years: 31,185 seats.
Last 12 years: 36,990 additional seats, taking the total to 68,175.
- Internationalisation of Higher Education
15 foreign universities are expected to establish campuses in India.
लंका विजय के लिए समुद्र पर वानर भालुओं के द्वारा पुल का निर्माण किया जा रहा था, श्रीराम समुद्र तट बैठे हुए थे इस निर्माण कार्य को देख रहे थे। अचानक उनकी दृष्टि भूमि के उस भाग पर गई जहाँ उनके हाथ में पकड़े हुए धनुष का अंतिम भाग टिका हुआ था, उन्होंने देखा वहाँ रक्त की धार है ! उन्होंने चौंक कर वहाँ से अपना धनुष हटाया तो देखा एक मेंढक लहूलुहान अवस्था में वहाँ सिसक रहा है।
श्रीराम इस दृश्य को देखकर दुख और ग्लानि से भरे हुए मेंढक से बोले- मैं इतनी देर से इस स्थान पर अपना धनुष टिकाए हुए था, मुझे ज्ञात ही नहीं था की मेरा धनुष किसी भूमि पर नहीं किसी जीव पर टिका हुआ है जो अनजाने ही मेरे धनुष के भार से रक्तरंजित होकर प्रताड़ित हो रहा है !! मैं चकित हूँ इतने कष्ट में होने के बाद भी तुमने मुझसे कहा क्यों नहीं ?
मेंढक बोला- प्रभु, जब संसार मुझे दबाता है तब मैं राम से बोलता हूँ, किंतु जब स्वयं श्रीराम ही मुझे दबा रहे हैं तब मैं किससे बोलता ?
जय श्री सीताराम 🙏💐
I saw sound bites from students. They are in their teens and have yet to understand real life.
If a huge number of people march towards Parliament, the seat of the country's power, how can the police take any chances? They know anti social elements would inevitably infiltrate such protests.
Yet students expect the police force to be compassionate. They need to come to terms with reality.
The government should have dismissed Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan long ago and come out with a clear proposal on how it plans to conduct exams in the future without leaks and in a transparent manner.
This government has become so accustomed to absolute power that it has turned insensitive even to the genuine problems of students.
Parents and elders in students families have only chosen governments that pander to their social prejudices and biases. We get what we prioritise.
I don’t know what the solution is when the government refuses to be receptive to the public, other than to say that in the future we should choose policymakers who are receptive, engage in dialogue with citizens, and whose primary focus is on education, healthcare, employment, and quality of life - instead of widening society’s fault lines.
Corruption is like a cancer for this country. It has been embedded in the DNA of a drought-coded, resource starved nation.
It grows & consumes a ruling govt, then a new govt comes in, fresh, vowing to root out previous corruption, people get hopeful, time passes, corruption creeps up again, but this time it feeds on the ego of the incumbent.
To accept it has come back, will belie the promises the new govt made, of ending all prev corruption. And hence it consumes again
It’s like a virus, a parasite that needs a host, like a mosquito or a bat. The hosts are usually caste, religion, language politics. Corruption grows covertly as its host gets stronger. And one day it kills it. Until a new host emerges.
The cycle continues.
Its 1.45 am and i cant sleep bec of severe acidity. I have ulcers. And the last time my ulcers threatened to burst i had to be hospitalized & guess what @icicilombard refused to cover my hospitization cost - bec i hadnt declared my ulcers at the time of taking the policy. But i didnt have ulcers at the time of taking the policy and now they are asking for doctors certificates to confirm i didnt have ulcers at the time of taking the policy. Next they will insist on the car number that kills u in advance so ur family can make a claim. Shame on this @ICICILombard . Am so disgusted. I no longer care abt the refund - i will expose the fraud in their operations
He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.
Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.
Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.
Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.
This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?
