"Modi has not done a single press conference in 12 years."
So what?
Not taking questions from the press is not some moral crime in itself. The media is not a council of high priests conducting a legitimacy exam that every Prime Minister must clear for democratic certification.
In a democracy, legitimacy comes from public mandate and governance, not from standing before cameras to satisfy a section of the media that mistakes access for accountability.
As such, today's media ecosystem is not some sacred, neutral institution operating above politics. Much of it is deeply polarized. Different political camps have their favorite journalists, narratives, and ecosystems. Questions are designed less to seek answers and more to manufacture headlines, extract viral moments, or build personal brands.
And those who hold frequent press conferences are not automatically standing on higher moral ground either. We have all seen planted easy questions from pliable journalists and difficult questions brushed aside with “aap rival party ki bhasha mat boliye,” deflections, or outright evasions.
The number of press conferences a leader does is not a certificate of transparency. Otherwise, by that logic, Trump, who interacts with the press almost daily, should automatically be considered the most transparent, most democratic, and the finest leader in the world.
A 22-year-old dream from Nagaland cut short in the 'Coffee Land' of Chikkamagaluru.
Linsula came to Karnataka to support her aging parents, but allegedly faced relentless physical and mental harassment from two men—Rajesh and Tejas. Her diary is now a tragic testament to the price she paid for her silence and her family’s survival.
The Police must ensure this isn't just another FIR filed. We need the strictest punishment for those who turn workplaces into hunting grounds.

@MMetaphysician@Acts17David Why do the dawa guys always lie? All David did was read a few articles regarding Maleek on google. How on earth is that doxxing? And how does it compare to leaking a woman's phone number and home address?
A nursing student in Bareilly, UP, hosted a birthday party for her classmates at a café. The group included six girls and four boys, two of whom were Muslim. Shortly after the celebration began, members of the Bajrang Dal barged in, assaulted the Muslim boy and the girl and created a scene, accusing the boys of so-called “love jihad.”
In the video, police can be seen tussling with the girl. Although the police investigation found nothing objectionable, a case was still registered for “disturbing the peace” against the two Muslim boys and a café staff member. The Bajrang Dal members who triggered the commotion, however, were gently persuaded and sent away.
How did Jesus submit to God?
1. By claiming divine authority to forgive sins.
2. Called God His Father in the most unique sense ever.
3. Accepted worship.
4. Spoke as final authority over law.
5. Identified Himself as the Son sent by the Father.
This ain't Islamic submission!
I cannot believe that a serious academician would believe this myth that "Pauline theology created Jesus."
It’s an obsolete theory that the academic world itself has moved away from.
Let me show you why! 🧵
Does no one outside the academic world know how Pauline theology created Jesus, and that the real Jesus of Nazareth is practically unknown save his name?? I'd like y'all to read more and more about the history of religions, then maybe you'd know how Paul's Jesus condemns homosexuality
So no, the “real Jesus” is not lost behind Paul.
What scholars now study is how Jesus was remembered, not whether he existed or whether Paul replaced him.
That question was settled decades ago.
