The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).
The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.
The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.
Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.
This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.

India’s defence capabilities have witnessed significant transformation over the last decade, guided by the vision of self-reliance and powered by innovation, technology and indigenous manufacturing. This thread gives a glimpse of the strides India has made in the defence sector over the last 12 years.

Dear @narendramodi, it is a pleasure to meet again so soon.
Since we have concluded the mother of all trade deals, we have been moving fast to deliver on our commitments.
We will sign the Free Trade Agreement by the end of the year.
And accelerate work on an investment agreement.
We will also step up security & defence cooperation.
And join forces for better connectivity by advancing IMEC, the India–Middle East–Europe Corridor.
Like the vision of IMEC, can we work on connectivity projects with countries in Africa, Latin America and the Pacific Islands?
By combining G7 capital, India’s talent and the ownership of Global South countries, we may also consider establishing an International Mobilisation Partnership for Accelerating Connectivity and Trade (IMPACT).
hi moral police. Remember when you were made minister for 7 yrs by BJP. They gave u seat in assembly to contest. You lost by 50K. Subsequently dropped as minister. Without any morals u resigned MP seat & joined TMC and became minister.
turn comments on moron if u have moral fibre
Just see the results of Bhabanipur vs.
TMC got a massive lead of 21,446 from Ward 77 but trailed in all other wards.
*Ward no. 77 seems to house too much population. It is literally the smallest ward.

@vyasa1968 It seems this handle is purchased by @INCIndia a nationalist calling pappu, the one who despises Indians, Hindus as jannayak and shadow PM! You are exposed !

One of the most fun things you'll read this week:
A bunch of @iitbombay 20-somethings spent their college year building an actual semiconductor fab of sorts. They're now weeks from their first working transistor.
Technically it's a "hacker fab".
-basically a semiconductor fab you build in a college for not a lot of money (it's hard work though)
-it makes scrappy chips but who's asking state of art
-open source framework that started in the West.
-only some seven such fabs exist
-the IIT-B one is first outside West.
What @hackerfabindia have built:
-lithography machine = an old projector with the optics flipped, printing at 3–4 microns (a human hair is ~100)
-a 1,100°C furnace built by two first-years from cement, ceramic wool and 50m of resistance wire
-a sputter built in-house
-a vacuum chamber
Whole toolkit:
-Rs 15–20 lakh - roughly a campus racing team's annual budget
-First devices (a diode and a MOSCAP) came off their own tools on 12 June
-Full transistor due by end of summer
-2nd in the world to do it on the open HackerFab framework
Tagline:
Why should TSMC have all the fun? 😎 (good one @aryamman_bhatia & team)

Imagine if this happened today
In 1993, Cong govt was facing no confidence motion in Lok Sabha
The allegation was that JMM MPs were bribed to vote for the govt
Matter went to Supreme Court
In court it was argued that votes of MPs are protected by parliamentary privilege ... so just in case they have taken money, it does not matter!
Supreme Court agreed with this in 1998 and said there is no question of anything wrong here
Again ... imagine the reaction on social media if this happened today. But back then, every intellectual in India was clapping.
Side note: The Finance Minister in that 1993 govt was Dr. Manmohan Singh, the most honest man in the whole world.
"Hindu have been so much radicalized that every Hindu is a potential murderer or a potential rapist.
Every Hindu is raping a Muslim woman either in reality or in dreams"

This man is mentally sick, he needs treatment now
Fully agree with The Wire!
Nehru's term as PM should be counted from Sep 1946, when he was head of Interim Govt
Means when Nehru wrote this letter in Nov 1946, he was essentially PM
Here he says he feels relief that police murdered 400 Hindus in Bihar
Imagine horror of PM talking like this!
UNKNOWN FACTS about Arvind Kejriwal.
1. His first job was with Tata.
2. He was taking salaries from taxpayers' money without doing work for two years while also receiving funds from the Ford Foundation for his NGO Parivartan.
3. He was also getting funding from Harsh Mander's foreign-funded NGO CES.
4. He was lying that he was working on public funding in this interview.
