🚨 BIG BREAKING

Supreme Court orders NO PROTECTION for protesters with CRIMINAL antecedents.

It also directs NO coercive action against protesting students except those with criminal antecedents, and orders the immediate release of all arrested minors.

CJI Surya Kant says those who took the law into their own hands must be brought under the law, adding that ANY FAIR probe must also address the concerns of the families of 200+ injured police personnel.

Part II

The right Is yours. So is the proof.

Let nobody tell you protest is a favour granted by the government of the day. It is not. Article 19 of the Constitution hands every citizen the right to speak and to assemble peaceably, and it asks for no membership, no minimum crowd, no permission from anybody. The right is individual. You, alone, with one placard and two convictions, are constitutionally complete.

But here is the catch: the right to protest is individual, the power of a demand is collective. And a collective needs credentials. The moment you say "the youth demand", the government's first response is not an answer, it is a question. Questions. Which youth? How many? Appointed by whom? A crowd is a crowd; a mandate is a document. The state will never attack your grievance first, because the grievance is real. It will attack your representation, because that is the claim you left unproven.

So prove it. Convert the crowd into a constituency. Collect signatures, not just followers. Pass resolutions in unions, university committees, coaching-centre WhatsApp groups if that is your parliament. Route memoranda through MPs so the demand enters the record of the Republic, not just the reels of Instagram. When lakhs of examinees put their names on paper, "a bunch of youth" becomes an electorate, and an electorate is the one species no minister's boss can ignore. What if your MP doesn't listen to you? Well, if you can't get a hearing from your MP, how do you expect the state itself to bend? Your MP will if you tried. Because hia future in politics is directly linked to your vote.

Sit at Jantar Mantar, by all means. But remember that the site has a permission slip and your demand needs a paper trail, and the second protects you long after the first expires. Anyone can shout for the youth. Prove the youth asked you to shout.

And a word about the band that has joined your baraat. The comrades have arrived, red flags and revolutionary daphli in tow, ready to turn your dharna into a cultural evening. Enjoy the music, but pay heed to the lyrics. The ideology behind those flags has never believed in the democracy you are currently using; its doctrine calls your Parliament a bourgeois talking shop, and wherever it won full power, from Moscow to Beijing, the first casualty was always the next election.

Strange, then, to find its choir performing at a protest whose only demand is that Parliament work harder. YoYa and the red flags believe in your crowd, not your Constitution. And their presence gifts the government its favourite exit: the moment the familiar flags appear on stage, your paper leak becomes their pamphlet, your exam grievance gets rebranded as ideological theatre, and the minister's defenders stop answering you and start describing them. Their rainbow ideas, Kunal Kamra's jokes, sex and violins. You came to fix an examination, not to audition for a revolution. Keep the mike, keep the demand, and keep the copyright on your own protest.

The right to protest comes free with citizenship. The right to be taken seriously has to be earned, in writing. So give it in writing. Written words have far greater value than opportunists who smelled the carcass of a minister's conscience and flew down to have a feast and have someone fast.

Resignation Is Dead.

Stop demanding resignation. Resignation is a voluntary act, and voluntary acts require shame. Shame took voluntary retirement from Indian politics several elections ago. Expecting today's politician to resign is like expecting a politician to not divide the people. She/he won't, least of all Dharmendra Pradhan.

Demand REMOVAL. A minister serves actually at the pleasure of the Prime Minister, and displeasure is strictly the PM's department. Address your demand to the boss. And the boss serves at the pleasure of you, the voter, renewable every 5 years. That is the chain of command. Pull it. So what to do before the term's end?

Between you and the boss stands your own employee: the MP you directly elected. Make that employee work. March to their office, it will be more effective. Because it will be all over the country, not limited to Delhi's version of the Hyde Park. Your agitation will earn the adjective, nationwide. Force them to place your demand on record in the Lok Sabha. A slogan evaporates after the heat of the moment; a demand recorded in Parliament sits in the proceedings forever, waiting to embarrass someone at the right moment. The Member of Parliament cannot claim to have represented you. Formal language is required because democracy is a system, and systems are inherently formal.

Protest, absolutely. But protest with paperwork. Submit a written demand along with your placards. A protest without a document is just decibels, and decibels can be declared illegal by the nearest police station and dismissed by the party. Without paper, "the youth demand" shrinks into "a bunch of youth demanding". Lung power fades. Paper, in this kaagaz-obsessed system, survives.

And remember what the word democracy comes with: representative. In a representative democracy, you must represent, through the representative you elected, not through a self-declared spokesperson of "the people". Self-appointed voices of the nation carry the same official weight as self-appointed godmen. They have followers who will die for them, but to The benefit of the godmen. There will be some selfish tent-present populist poop who will get their moment of relevance riding on your back. You will go home. They will go home. The system won't change, unless you know the real levers. The system only hears you when you speak through the microphone it gave you: your elected representative, your vote.

The minister you cannot remove today, file him away for the queue where you hold absolute power: the polling booth queue. His resignation is his choice. His removal is yours. If you can't wait, demand accountability from the fellow, you elected. He/she is having fun standing, unseen in plain sight. Don't speak into the vacuum.

Speak to someone specific. Place specific demands. Your general dissent will be treated as general dissent. So, kudos for your passion and drive. It has happened before. It will happen again. A resignation, even if the despicable disaster does tender his, wouldn't solve anything, except calm your nerves. Ganja does the same. At the venue itself. The red flags have used the green stuff to enhance their delulu. So, go on. Hope something comes out of it. Hope is not a strategy though. Just a small reminder.

Now, you have two options: dismiss the above as quote unquote justification. WhatsApp uncle rant, boring Sanghi trope, use some expletives, and feel good OR think and support the cause you want to, oppose the government you want to, but give it what it takes. Value your emotions and give it all it takes. It will take a lot, so be ready to give it all. If you are looking for a leader, you aren't ready to be one. So, be led to wherever the leader takes you for a ride. Be happy. More in Part II.

Coaching mafias exist because the education system is broken. The curriculum's expiry date passed a long time ago. There's no shame in copying what China did, which played a huge role in where China stands today. Par kisko padi hai

The irony of F1’s ‘green engines’:

All race cars combined over a season: ~150 tonnes CO₂.
F1’s total footprint from flying cargo around the world: ~250,000+ tonnes.

Even if fuel consumption tripled using V12s, that’s still <1% from the engines.

But sure, let’s nerf the engines.

The goat in India.

India has approximately 148 million goats.
The largest goat population in the world.
This is not coincidental.

India has approximately 80% of its population that is Hindu, for whom the cow is sacred and beef is not eaten: religiously, culturally, practically not an option for most.

India also has approximately 14% of its population that is Muslim, for whom pork is forbidden.

The goat is the animal that fits both.

The goat is halal. The goat is acceptable to Hindus. The goat produces milk, meat, fibre, and manure without violating any dietary code of any major Indian religious tradition.

The goat is India's ruminant.

It grazes the scrubland and semi-arid land that is not in crop production.

It provides milk to rural households with no cattle access.

It provides meat protein: complete, bioavailable, ancestral protein, to communities that cannot access the beef that would otherwise be the obvious choice.

It is the smallholder's insurance policy and emergency fund.

The goat is doing in India precisely what the goat has always done across human history: providing the nutrition that the restrictive system around it cannot otherwise supply.

India has 148 million goats because India needs 148 million goats.

The goat found its way in.

The goat always finds its way in.

Where the cow is forbidden, the goat arrives.

The goat has always arrived.

Shri Maroof Raza Ji made a rich contribution to the world of journalism. He enriched public discourse with his nuanced understanding of defence, national security as well as strategic affairs. Pained by his passing. Condolences to his family and friends.

A distinguished soldier and strategic voice falls silent

In sad news - Today, 26 February 2026, India lost one of its most respected soldier-scholars, Major Maroof Raza (Retd) whose life was a testament to service, insight and the spirit of inquiry.

Born in 1959, Maroof Raza graduated from St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, before joining the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun, where he was commissioned into The Grenadiers Regiment in 1980. His early years in the Army took him into counter-insurgency operations in India’s North East, experiences that shaped his lifelong engagement with security and defence.

After leaving the service, he became a leading strategic affairs expert, author and media anchor, known for bringing the soldier’s perspective to public discourse. He hosted acclaimed television series such as Line of Duty, anchored programmes on national security for major news networks, and wrote extensively on India’s military and geopolitical challenges.

His work bridged the realms of lived military experience and thoughtful analysis, earning him respect across India’s defence and media communities.

Maj Raza leaves behind a legacy of clarity, courage and dedication to understanding the forces that shape our world.

Our deepest condolences to the family. 🙏🏵️

Richard Hadlee broke his head, Malcolm Marshall knocked out his teeth, Imran Khan knocked him unconscious, and Michael Holding sent him to hospital.
And yet Mohinder Amarnath got 3 centuries in Pakistan, 2 in the West Indies and 1 against Thommo in Australia.
In those days, batting against the frightening pace of Holding, Imran and the West Indians involved a bit more than just skill, it needed raw courage and Jimmy Amarnath had that in dollops.
Jimmy turns 75 today & India's first Man of the Match in a World Cup final certainly deserves much more acclaim and attention

Modi is not perfect, but he is far ahead of his predecessors and, in my view, the best prime minister India has had.

Most criticism of him is not about failures but about the expectations we place on him, shaped by what we see in developed nations, and that is fair. But India cannot transform into a superpower overnight, constrained by its vast population, democratic checks and balances, and the historic backlog of poverty and underdevelopment it inherited. Unlike China’s top-down model, every reform here must navigate states, coalitions, and social complexities.

Taxpayers’ aspirations in India are particularly high because they contribute more and get little, but it’s also a reality that democracy itself acts as a handicap. Elections are rarely won on vision or development; they are won on caste loyalties and freebies that appeal to the masses who care little about infrastructure, education, development, environment, or progress. Any govt, no matter how capable, is forced to dilute long-term reforms in order to survive short-term populism.

On top of that, real transformation requires decades of consistent effort in economic modernization, R&D, defense capacity, and global positioning, all of which no leader, not even Modi, can compress into a few years. What he can do, and is doing, is laying the groundwork for a stronger, more self-reliant India of the future.

Criticism must continue, it pushes things in a positive direction. But credit should also be given where it’s due. Happy birthday, Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi. May you continue to lead the nation for many more years.

अन्तर्वासना की कहानियां लिखने वाले ओशो को डैडी मानने वाले और कीट-कीट ता खेलने वाले लोग आजकल खुद को टेक गुरु बता रहे हैं।

17 रुपए का paid ट्वीट करके VPN और Adobe file transfer की स्कीम समझा रहे हैं, जैसे पूरी साइबर दुनिया की चाबी इन्हीं के पास हो।

वोट चोरी प्रोपेगेंडा के पहले जिनके मस्तिष्क में बुखार चढ़ा था , वो जैसे ही कुछ पैसे पा गए, बहुत बड़े टेकी के निपोरे बने घूम रहे हैं।

जिन्हें रिसर्च का R भी नहीं पता, वो टाइम ज़ोन, VPN और RDP पर लेक्चर दे रहे हैं। असलियत ये है कि ये लोग न तो डिजिटल फॉरेंसिक समझते हैं, न ही फाइल मेटाडेटा की बारीकियां। बस शॉर्टकट और आधे-अधूरे ज्ञान के दम पर विशेषज्ञ बनने का ढोंग कर रहे हैं।

खुरपेंच टीम को ये स्कीमें सिखाने वाले भूल जाते हैं कि असली रिसर्च ईमानदारी, सबूत और मेहनत से होती है , ना कि paid tweets और झूठे टेक्निकल jargon से।
