2100+ days in jail without trial. Bail is the rule as per Supreme Court, but not people like Umar Khalid.

As conversations are on after the recovery of 5 young orangutans in an Odisha plantation, how does trafficked wildlife get from Borneo and Sumatra to India in the first place. @down2earthindia maps it out.

"Accountability collapse" is the right way to put it.

We have a word for this the Irish language. Loinnir.

“the flickering sparkle of sunlight dancing on water or the sea“

Ab tak Chappan, Chak De, Rocket Singh. Three flawless beauts. One common force behind them. SHIMIT AMIN. 18 years later he is finally directing another feature film. CAPTAIN INDIA. I HOPE PRAY AND WISH he makes it 4 out of 4! One of the greatest directors alive. Can't wait!

We need to have a conversation about white people getting to see restored work from the country before people in the country can see it (or sometimes never see it).

I am aware the intricacies of why that is, but it still just feels so icky to me.

Mom thinks Chapri originated from the Marathi Jhipri because of the way the kids style their hair 🥲

This Lallantop clip of a JPSC aspirant showing her agenda, time table, talking about how she keeps downloading apps to improve her communication skills is just painful to watch. ‘no plan b’. everything wrong with our ‘exam system’ - which is different from an education system - all at once

I wrote a little about why I love the movie Su From So and what makes JP Thuminad a stalwart as a director

"As Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei Asia found in a recent investigation, just five US tech giants — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle — are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets.

Need to start taking Amit Shah’s name if you want Delhi Police to stop its devious and malicious conduct.

[Vrinda Grover @vrindagrover]

There are those who studied the constitution for their degree; swore by the constitution for their position; decode the constitution daily for their work. And then there are the young protestors in Delhi, who imbibed the letter and spirit of Babasaheb's constitution and practised their rights and freedoms. Our democracy and future is hopeful because of these young protestors. Meanwhile, Govt. - Police - Courts are busy playing "law and order", a game of colonial vintage.

@Wangchuk66 does not matter any more. People do. They are on the streets to reclaim their sovereignty. The large numbers are a warning to the rogue government. This is a moment of the people. It has its value.

[Parth MN @parthpunter]

The brave Delhi police has assaulted a 16-year old.

He's shaken. Traumatized.

@qbhai1975 That actually is not stuck at the censors but with the streamer that has produced… It’s @NetflixIndia that will need to answer this

[Namrata Joshi @Namrata_Joshi]

Punjab1984 won the national award, so did Gulzar’s Maachis. The ban on Satluj has been reiterated by the govt panel. What changed from 1996 to 2014 to 2026? If you’ve been covering cinema for decades you’d know censorship is nothing new. I’d have amassed most bylines on it 1/n

Huge story. @thehindu's @pv_srividya examines farmers' charges that Tata's iPhone factory is discharging effluents into their farmlands -- and finds worrying details + a coverup. https://t.co/mxQITynhGx

PS: Why is this story only in the Tamil Nadu edition, @thehindu?
