In 2010: Messi didn’t win the Champions League or the World Cup, yet they changed the Ballon d’Or criteria to favor goals and gave it to him.

In 2011: Ronaldo had more goals than Messi, but they claimed trophies were what mattered, so Messi won it again.

In 2012: Ronaldo had more trophies, but they gave it to Messi because he scored 91 goals in a calendar year.

In 2019: Van Dijk won the Champions League and was named UEFA Best Player and EPL Player of the Year, but the criteria switched back to goals and Messi won the Ballon d’Or.

In 2021: Lewandowski scored more goals, had a historic individual season, and won The Best FIFA Men’s Player, but Messi was given the Ballon d’Or for winning the Copa América.

In 2023: Haaland won five trophies including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup along with the UEFA Best Player, EPL Player of the Year, and the Golden Boot. Yet, the Ballon d’Or went to Messi for winning the 2022 World Cup, even though in 2010 they argued that the World Cup did not matter 😂.

This picture means something to an entire generation of Dutch people.

I'm one of them.

My parents came to Holland as Moroccan immigrants.
I was born there.

Dutch passport.
Dutch better than my Arabic.
The first 18 years of my life, Holland fed me, schooled me, raised me.

The Moroccans helped rebuild Holland.
Holland gave them roads, schools, a future in return.

Fair trade.

But we never really integrated.

That's not on one side.
That's on everyone.

We learned to speak for our grandparents, because they never got to learn the language.
We brought our food.
We brought our culture. Mosques. Books and humor.

We had fun.
We hung out.
We went to each other's weddings and loved the mix of it.

And still.
We never really became one.

The politicians made sure to categorize us.
They needed us to be outsiders, while we were busy acting like insiders.

So a wall went up between neighbors.

Then yesterday a silly game with a ball put two teams on the same grass.
Two continents.
Two cultures.

Except they're not two teams.

They're teams stitched together by the same life.

The Dutch know the Moroccans. Intimately.
The Moroccans know the Dutch. Intimately.

The Moroccans in Morocco spend every summer selling to the Moroccans from Holland.

The Dutch spend every day next to Moroccans. In School. At The local butcher. The streets.

The Moroccan team is full of Moroccans carrying Dutch passports.

The Dutch team is full of their actual friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Such a simple game.
Such a complicated story.

When I look at this image I don't see football.

I see high school.
I see pride.
I see distance.
I don't see compassion.
I see resentment.

And that's exactly how we lived in beautiful Holland.

Together. Happily.
And quietly, unconsciously, apart.

I left when I was 18.
I went back to Morocco.

I resented Holland.
For years it was me vs them.

Now I understand what I actually have.

I can read two cultures from the inside.

And I get to choose.
What I carry with me.
What I leave behind.

Because every culture has its gold.
And every culture has its rot.

The trick is knowing which is which.

Love. Be kind to each other.

Emperor-Caliph Akbar Bahadur was born a Muslim, lived as a Muslim, and died a Muslim.

As for Din-i Ilahi, no such thing ever existed. It is a fabricated term, and he never founded any new religion.

At his deathbed, he recited Kalimah, heard the Qur'an, & died affirming Tawheed of Allah Azzawajal.

be @ni5arga

→ 19 years old, from West Bengal, studied in Delhi for a few years
→ just finished his own Class 12 exams in 2026
→ calls himself a hobbyist cybersecurity researcher
→ says he is an engineer, not a hacker
→ built an OSINT engine, a stock-tracking TUI, a pastebin in Rust
→ once found bugs in FOSS United and disclosed them quietly
→ just another CBSE student watching his own board roll out a new digital marking system

then he opened the portal

→ CBSE moves Class 12 evaluation to On-Screen Marking, 1.8 million students affected
→ Nisarga sees the portal link is fully public, gets curious
→ opens DevTools, downloads the Angular JavaScript bundle
→ first vulnerability found in 30 minutes
→ a literal master password sitting in plain text inside the frontend code
→ enter it, the OTP field auto-fills, the entire login flow gets bypassed
→ OTP validation happens in the user's browser, not on the server
→ no route guards, every internal page reachable by editing browser storage
→ password reset API never checks the old password
→ systemic IDOR across the entire API, change one value in sessionStorage, become any examiner
→ outcome: take over any teacher account, view answer sheets, edit marks

25 February 2026. He reports everything to CERT-In the same day.

→ CERT-In asks for a screen recording, he sends a full walkthrough
→ acknowledgement comes back as a boilerplate reply
→ reference number assigned: CERTIn-16590126
→ he follows up multiple times. no response.
→ three months pass. portal still live. Class 12 results released. vulnerabilities still there.
→ 22 May: publishes the blog post and a thread on X
→ Deedy Das, Satish Acharya, Internet Freedom Foundation amplify it
→ the post goes viral
→ CBSE issues a clarification: that was just a test portal, no breach
→ the URL CBSE cited in their own tweet was not even a registered domain
→ a friend buys the domain and points it at Nisarga's blog
→ CBSE quietly deletes the tweet

then it gets worse

→ 25 May: finds an SQL injection vulnerability on the live production portal
→ reports to CERT-In, gets a one-line thank you
→ gains admin access to the live https://t.co/1WpmNGsczK server
→ portal stays up for four more hours
→ he uploads anime videos and memes, links them publicly from CBSE servers
→ plays a viral Japanese song on a CBSE page, makes the news for it
→ CBSE finally takes the whole portal down

then he reads the database

→ master table accessed: 10 GB, 9.3 million records
→ examiner names, addresses, school names, bank account details
→ passwords stored in plain text
→ login tokens anyone can paste into a browser to log in as that user
→ 31 May: finds a second live CBSE production portal, 45,074 records of failed payments
→ emails, phone numbers, payment IDs, order IDs, all readable
→ 31 May, the bigger one: an AWS S3 bucket is misconfigured
→ ListObjectsV2 works without authentication, the bucket root is listable
→ samples pulled from 18 lakh scanned 2026 answer sheets, every subject
→ multiple institutions sharing the same bucket
→ also notices something strange in the scans: bedsheets visible in the background of answer sheets CBSE paid for proper scanners to handle

CBSE responds

→ posts an AI-generated image saying the system is robust and secure
→ three days later admits some vulnerabilities existed and have been contained
→ refuses to name the cybersecurity firm doing the audit
→ claims they tried contacting him. he says they have not.

→ Internet Freedom Foundation writes to the Ministry of Education and CERT-In
→ asks for an investigation into CBSE, a review of the contract with vendor Coempt EduTeck, a full audit

→ he points out he could have sold this data and made a lot of money
→ he did not. he is a CBSE student too.
→ his own analogy: the door wasn't just unlocked. the key was lying on the ground in front of everyone.

a 19-year-old with a anima pff broke a national exam evaluation system in 30 minutes with browser developer tools and the government is still pretending it was a test environment

[Indian Muslim Archives @Rustum_0]

Before 1890s, the prosperity and upkeep of the Haramain (Mecca & Medina) and Hejaz largely depended on the Indian Muslims.

Henceforth, the Ottomans referred to the Hajj as mevsim-i Hindî (“the Indian season”).

The largest & most lavish grants & endowments came from Indian Muslim monarchs and aristocrats.

For instance, the Muzaffarids sultanate (just 1 out of 8 or 9 sultanates in India) used to remit 70,000 misqals of gold annually.

This sum equalled the annual revenue of the Republic of Genoa, a third of the net annual revenue of Venice at its peak, and amounted to nearly 3.5% of the total annual revenue of the Ottoman Empire.

Quienes consideran que ondear la bandera de un Estado es “incitar al odio”, o han perdido el juicio o han sido cegados por su propia ignominia.

Lamine solo ha expresado la solidaridad por Palestina que sentimos millones de españoles. Otro motivo más para estar orgullosos de él.

I am saying this again, India is no longer a country for free and fair business, nor a land of creative freedom.

You invest your hard-earned money to build something from scratch, and suddenly 2-rupee Bajrang Dal goons show up at your doorstep to shut it down, just because you try to create a neutral space or say something that doesn’t fit their politics.

The attacks on Piyush Bansal and Namita Thapar will push a whole generation of entrepreneurs to leave India. Economic growth depends on a strong ecosystem, and when people don’t feel safe to build or speak, why would anyone stay?

On one side, Hindutva goons. On the other, what does the government offer? High taxes, constant Income Tax and ED notices, harassment of the very people trying to create jobs and value.

And let’s be clear, this doesn’t happen without political patronage. BJP cannot deny that these mobs are part of the ecosystem that benefits them.

You build something, and one day 100 unemployed goons can walk in and destroy it.

Is this the environment we want for business and innovation?

On his birth anniversary today, we pay homage to Maulana Azad. He is fondly remembered as a beacon of knowledge and for his role in India’s freedom movement. He was also a deep thinker and prolific writer. We remain motivated by his vision for a developed and empowered India.

Not many people these days know that the British Empire was the driving force behind ending the vast majority of global slavery.

Slavery or de facto slavery was standard practice throughout the world from the dawn of civilization until a few hundred years ago. It is even discussed at length in the Bible, for example.

HOW TO SELECT YOUR BABY'S SEX.

Sperm cells are either X or Y. The Egg cell is always X. If X-Sperm cell meets the egg(X) the baby will be a Girl (XX). If Y-Sperm cell meets the egg(X), the baby will be a Boy (XY).

The Y-Sperm cells move fast but die fast (its lifespan is about 24hrs). X-Sperm cells move slowly but survive longer (up to 3-4days).

Therefore, if you have intercourse some days before ovulation, most of the Y-Sperm cells would have died leaving mostly X-Sperm cells to fertilized the egg

Here's a simple way to calculate your ovulation period.

1. From the first day you see the blood of your period.
2. Pick up a calendar and count 15 days including the first day of the blood stain.
3. Mark the 15th day with a pen.

[Siddharth's Echelon @SiddharthKG7]

In 1987, a case in a small village of Rajasthan shocked the entire nation and even international media.

The last known Sati case of India- Roop Kanwar.

18 years old Roop Kanwar married 24 years old Maal Singh in 1987. Maal Singh died of gastroenteritis in September at Sikar hospital.
His body was taken to his village Deorala for funeral. What happened next was no less than a story people read in mythology.
