Everyone is innocent. One man somehow responsible for everything since 1947.

NEW | Modi looks wobbly, the economy looks worse, and Gen Z is making noise. But to make a political transition possible, the divided opposition needs Sonia Gandhi, who remains its centre of gravity, despite her age and withdrawal from active politics.

I AM UNDER HOUSE ARREST
Dozens of armed guards surround my house while the government version says 'I have been advised to stay at home'. All for asking uncomfortable questions like... why is the Judicial Enquiry Commission Report (of last year's killings in Leh) is delayed & a phoney Council election is foisted on people with rocket speed in mid winter.
Whole of Ladakh is in protest.
My X, Instagram & YouTube reach have been drastically suppressed in the world's largest democracy. Please help share this message...

Following a complaint by R. Bhate, Wildlife Warden, Satara district to PMO and CM, Maharashtra alleging incorrect cost of the project, Adani group has now revised the cost of it's ₹5,675 crore hydropower plant in Satara to ₹56.75 crore.

Imagine the bunglings in other projects

A disappointing footnote to the #BharatSummit proceedings: when I got to Hyderabad, I learned that 115 of the 315 speakers whom the External Affairs Ministry had cleared for the event ended up being refused entry to India or having their visas cancelled, apparently on the instructions of the Ministry of Home Affairs. It is completely unclear under what provision of law the government has taken such a drastic step, but it is obviously impossible to reverse it since the conference concludes tomorrow. What a shame that a proud democracy has become so insecure that it must stifle any voices it fears will be critical!

#SwachhHawaAbhiyaan: “There’s dust in our hair, eyes, lungs. We always look like we’ve not taken a bath”, said a resident of Delhi’s Jahangirpuri, which is one of the most polluted areas of the city.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has defended the use of firecrackers during Diwali, saying that the old firecrackers were made without modern chemical substances and that they also helped kill insects and pests during the harvest season and “purified the atmosphere”.

His remarks came as Delhi and other north cities in India faced severe post-Diwali air pollution. Delhi’s AQI was recorded at 321 on Thursday morning, in the “very poor” category, while several monitoring stations had earlier crossed 400 in the “severe” category.

Earlier, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also supported firecrackers. He said that if pollution has increased because of Diwali, it will also reduce with time. He questioned why only firecrackers are blamed when corruption also “pollutes” the system.

Looks like this government is going to put everyone under house arrest, detain or arrest them, or restrict their social media handles before 2029.

In solidarity with @Wangchuk66, who put his own life on the line to awaken the nation against this very autocracy during the Jantar Mantar protest.

It’s the smell of institutions collapsing and failure of governance in a democracy. It happens when large sections of legacy newsrooms stop holding elected leadership accountable and citizens and public figures let go of their voice and spine.

She is Olivia Banerjee, a gold medalist former student of Presidency University, Kolkata. The university has banned her from entering the campus & pusue her PhD there. The Reason is she sprayed a ABVP recruitment poster with words "FUCK RSS, Rapist, Casteist". This was followed - An FIR. Then she and another final yr postgraduate student from the sociology dept were expelled despite Olivia keep insisting that she alone sprayed these lines.

Following the University action, the CM Suvendu Adhikari said “The ABVP has been cleaning cockroaches, termites, ‘dimagi naxals’ and others from the campuses of Presidency and Jadavpur.”
It is that CM who few months ago brought a rally of half naked naga sadhus in front of prestigious Jadavpur University to flex his majoritarian politics.

To expel Olivia and the other student they misrepresented the facts. They blamed them of insulting Swami Vivekananda as the ABVP used Swami Vivekananda's photo in that recruitment poster.

When was Swami Vivekananda an RSS or ABVP member? He wasn't a cheap communal person either. In today's India, if he had existed, the BJP-RSS would've called him anti-national, dimagi naxal. Putting his photo on the posters of such a cabal of hate is itself an insult to him.

Sometime back CM Suvendu said now they will start cleaning Dimagi Naxal from campuses.

Olivia isn't scared btw. Nor the alumni and the other teachers.

The English Professor of the University Dr. Kalyan Kumar Das, had written on his Facebook a day after their expulsion, “I don’t teach my students to become morons incapable of speaking truth to power! Let that sink in, powers that be!”

I remember Netaji Subhas had also been expelled from this same institution when it was Presidency College. That time too, the reason was student activism.
