I welcome the US court’s decision with humility and deep respect for the judicial process.

Throughout this challenging period, our faith in truth, fairness and the rule of law remained unwavering.

My deepest gratitude to those who never lost faith in us, in the system and in India’s capacity for justice.

We will continue doing what matters: building for our nation, creating value that outlasts us and serving a purpose larger than ourselves.

That is our commitment.

Jai Hind.

The District Administration #Changthang, in collaboration with the Department of Handlooms & Handicrafts, #Leh, celebrated #NationalHandloomDay with great enthusiasm at Lukung village, nestled on the banks of #PangongLake.

A major highlight of the event was a #TirangaRally led by local artisans and handloom weavers carrying a beautifully hand-knitted National Flag crafted by local women weavers. @PMOIndia @TexMinIndia @girirajsinghbjp

They said it was impossible. History gave them the answer on August 5, 2019.

A historic day when PM @narendramodi Ji and HM @AmitShah Ji showed unparalleled political will to abrogate Articles 370 and 35(A), correcting a historical blunder.

For decades, the Congress and vested political dynasties kept J&K isolated through false narratives.

In 2019, the Congress and their ecosystem predicted "rivers of blood in J&K."

Instead, 7 years later, what we see is:
✅ Unprecedented voter turnout & record democratic participation.
✅ New investments, infrastructure, and economic growth.
✅ Youth focused on skilling, startups, and innovation, actively contributing to PM Modi Ji's vision of a #ViksitBharat.

This is #NewIndia.

I was going through the news items about the kids who supposedly committed suicide due to NEET re-examination.

A few things stand out -

(1) Age - Some students were more than 20 years old with highest number being 22.
- 21 or 22 years means 3-4 attempts at NEET.
- Normally, a student would complete his MBBS by 22.5 to 23.5 years of age (depending on age at admission).
- Continued attempts inspite of 3-4 attempts shows you aren't built for this competition.
- This is not a healthy sign; can't imagine the pressure on the child to succeed.

(2) Interest - One kid was only 17!
He was supposedly under pressure since two years (must've been preparing from 11th onwards) and found it difficult to balance the prep pressure with his love for hockey!
- Parents need to look within in such cases.

(3) Kids from marginalized background - In some cases, the families had committed their everything to put their kids through MBBS coaching.
- When a child is constantly reminded of the sacrifices being made for him/her or when he sees it, it places the child under tremendous pressure.
- Failure is not even an option!
- And success has to be obtained in the first attempt because the family might not have resources to provide coaching and financial support for repeat attempts.
-----
What we're looking at here is a social problem which was weaponized and linked to NEET cancellation. Every year before and after NEET there are spades of suicides during moths leading to the exam, and after results are declared.

Resignation of the education minister or a more robuts NEET examination process will not solve this issue. The society needs to look within.

Bit of Trivia: Fauji daughters. Both of them!
While Military ecosystems are deeply masculine in nature, girls born in it are empowered, passionate, fearless, go-getters. I’ve never met any other kind. The inherent masculinity within this universe creates a class of women who fearlessly walk the untrodden path. A fantastic paradox, of sorts.

Fauji daughters have courage in their blood yo! Cannot be denied. ❤️✌️🇮🇳

EXCLUSIVE: Eviction Order Against Delhi Gymkhana Club looming as Government declares Occupation 'Illegal'. A fierce Show Cause Notice is issued by L&DO, explicitly labeling the club's ongoing presence on the prime 27.3-acre property as an unauthorized occupation.

‼️Modi Govt moves to EVICT Spy Nest Delhi Gymkhana Club from its 27.3-acre Safdarjung Road premises in Delhi.

[VatsRohit @KesariDhwaj]

The Scam that is Delhi Gymkhana Club

- The original charter called for membership to be divided between Defense, Bureaucracy and Eminent Civilians/Private Sector.

- Total membership frozen at 5,600

- Divided into the above three categories in 40:40:20 ratio.

- Apart from these members with voting rights, there are other categories who don't have voting right but can enjoy the premises and its facilities.

- For example, if you're an army officer or a bureaucrat posted with Central Government, you can enjoy the use of the Club after paying a certain fee. But this right is limited to the time your deputation to Central Government lasts.

Baap Ki Jagir

- One of the most interesting aspect of this membership is the privilidge which the children of the existing members get.

- Children of the members first get to enjoy the DGC as dependants.

- As they grow old, they get a Green Card to continue enjoying the facilities but w/o voting rights. This allows them to continue to access the facility from their late teens untile late 20s or 30s.

- Next, they are pushed up the ladder and join an exalted category known as User of the Premises (UCP).

[historically referred to in legal filings as User of Club Premises Pending Election]

- This is the final step before they are granted the full membership.

- So, while a new applicant has to wait for 30+ years to become a member and start enjoying the facilities of the DGC, a child of an existing member has continuous access to the Club from his birth, till his full membership.

The ultimate scam!

- As mentioned earlier, the membership is strictly divided between military personnel, bureaucrats and civilians in 40:40:20 ratio.

- So, it would be right to assume that when the club started, it would have 40% military officers, 40% bureaucrats and 20% eminent civilians.

- And common sense would expect that in case an existing defence member was to die or resign his membership, he would be replaced by another defense personnel. Same would apply in case of bureaucrats and civilians so as to maintain the 40:40:20 ratio.

- Aha! But here were the scam lies...

- Lets do this with an example.

(1) Suppose my father (who's actually ex-army) was a member of the DGC.

(2) Starting from my childhood, I would've had unrestricted access to the facility till by 30s when I become eligible to become a permanent member myself (refer to the UCP category above).

(3) But I work in the Coporate Sector! Therefore, I should not be eligible for membership under either the Defence or the Bureaucratic share (40:40).

At best, my membership should be under the Civilian quota (20% share - minimal seats, and hence, longest waiting period).

(4) But this where you're an idiot to assume that logic and rules, which apply to Mango people, apply in such rarefied institutions as well.

(5) You see, because I'm son of an ex-army officer who is a member, I'm eligible for membership within the 40% Defense share! 😝

(6) You get where this is going?

(7) The Defense and Bureaucrat memberships, which account for 80% of the seats, have a mix of actual defense officers and bureucrats, AND childrens of members from these categories who have nothing to do with either defense or bureaucracy! 🤣

(8) So, a General Sahab's son or a Bureucrat's daughter who happen to be investment banker and painter respectively, are members of the DGC under Defense and Bureaucrat categories because their father's are DGC members under defense and bureaucrat categories, respectively.

All within the family

Here's one more angle - the father and the children can be members at the same time!

Again, going back to my own hypothetical case. My father (Ex-Army) is a member. I have the privilidge of using the premises till my 30s and then, a slot opens up in the Defense Category (40%). I get approval from other members and I also become a permanent member with voting rights.

Now, my father (ex-army) and I (nothing to do with the Services) are both members under the defense category of one of India's most elite club.

What can be more absurd than this?
