Bro, Mahindra,

The issue isn't whether your E20-"compliant" vehicles are fully ready for the transition. That's common sense, we don't need an official statement for that.

The real issue is whether your E20-"non-compliant" vehicles, i.e., all Mahindra vehicles manufactured before April 2023, are safe to run on E20 or not.

If they are safe, then why does the owner's manual for your vehicles manufactured before April 2023 explicitly warn owners not to use fuel with ethanol, stating that it can cause engine damage?

[Ajeet Bharti @ajeetbharti]

As SIAM wanted: Till all E20 non-compliant vehicles are phased out, petrol pumps must provide E10.

Govt screwed up here. That’s the only pain point. Also, if someone wants pure petrol, it should be made available. Not some Xtra premium version.

[Incognito @Incognito_qfs]

The videos I have used are of a different case which happened in Hardoi, Uttar Pradesh.

I apologise for using these videos.

But the incident about which I have posted did happen in Rajasthan. The videos are unrelated.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Hardeep Puri said that ethanol is used in racing cars as well to defend his stand on E20. This is the Petroleum Minister's understanding of the issue. What can one even say to that!

First, race cars are specifically engineered to run on ethanol; therefore, it does not harm them. This is not the same as forcing E20 into regular cars that are not engineered to handle it. In non-compliant vehicles, ethanol will aggressively degrade standard rubber gaskets, plastic parts, and aluminum components over time.

Second, a racing engine is built to survive for only a few hundred miles before being stripped down and rebuilt by professional mechanics, who easily manage any fuel-induced wear. An average citizen, however, needs their car to last for over a decade. Running non-compliant engines on E20 will certainly not help achieve that.

Third, race teams use ethanol solely for a performance boost due to its high octane rating, not for fuel economy. For regular people, however, fuel economy matters immensely.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

What exactly is an E20-compliant vehicle? By definition, it's a vehicle engineered to safely and reliably run on E20 fuel. That also implies a non-E20-compliant vehicle is not designed for E20. Otherwise, the term "compliant" becomes meaningless.

So my question to Mr. @nitin_gadkari is simple: Why was E20 fuel rolled out nationwide when most vehicles on Indian roads were not E20-compliant?

If the answer is, "Nothing happens. Non-compliant vehicles can also run on E20," then what was the rationale behind mandating manufacturers to produce E20-compliant vehicles in the first place? Either E20 compatibility is technically necessary, in which case introducing E20 before the vehicle fleet was ready was questionable. Or it isn't necessary, in which case the compliance requirement itself appears redundant.

You can't simultaneously argue that E20 compliance is important enough to mandate for new vehicles, yet claim it doesn't matter because older, non-compliant vehicles can run on E20 anyway.

By the same logic, why stop at E20? Why not go full aatm-nirbhar and switch directly to E100? If compatibility doesn't matter, then non-E100-compliant vehicles should run on E100 too. Clearly, that's not how engineering works. So where exactly is the technical justification?

Most Indians have not heard of Persistent Systems.

That is a shame, because every Indian should know what happened this weekend.

Let me explain everything from the beginning.

Persistent Systems is an Indian software company founded in Pune in 1990 by Dr. Anand Deshpande.

He started it after doing his PhD at Indiana University, came back to India, and built a technology company from scratch.

For most of its existence, Persistent was a mid-size player that did not get the same attention as TCS, Infosys, or Wipro.

Today, Persistent is recognised as the fastest-growing IT services brand globally in 2026. They have had 24 consecutive quarters of sequential revenue growth.

So, for six straight years, every single quarter has been bigger than the one before it. That kind of consistency is extremely hard to pull off in any business.

Now, they did something that has almost never happened before in Indian tech.

An Indian IT company just launched a takeover bid for a publicly listed German company on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Persistent is offering 81 euros per share to buy Nagarro SE, which works out to approximately 1.1 billion euros.

And they are paying 140 percent above Nagarro's share price the day before the deal was announced. That is how badly they want this company, and how confident they are in what the combined business will be worth.

So what does Nagarro actually do and why does Persistent want it so badly?

Nagarro is headquartered in Munich, Germany. They have 18,500 employees across 40 countries and generated 1 billion euros in revenue in 2025.

Their biggest clients include four of the top five European automotive manufacturers. So BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz type companies.

These are some of the most demanding engineering clients in the world.

Nagarro builds the software that goes inside these companies.

> The dealer management software.
> The supply chain tools.
> The digital interfaces that a BMW engineer uses when designing a new model.

This kind of deeply embedded enterprise software work is extremely difficult to replace once it is in place. These are long relationships measured in decades, not years.

That is why this deal makes strategic sense for Persistent.

Before this deal, only 9 percent of Persistent's revenue came from Europe. After this acquisition closes, that number jumps to 22 percent.

Right now, Persistent earns most of its money from North American clients, which means it is heavily exposed to whatever happens in the US economy.

If US companies cut tech spending, Persistent hurts.

Adding a strong European base changes that. Your revenue is now spread across two of the world's largest economies.

The combined company will have $2.9 billion in annual revenue and more than 46,000 employees across 40 countries. Of those, 37,000 plus will be in India.

So an Indian company, built by an Indian founder, that now employs 37,000 Indians and just bought a German company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

For most of the last 30 years, the story of Indian IT was that we sent engineers to do work that Western companies needed done cheaply.

Good work, real work, but fundamentally in a support role. You came to us because we were affordable and skilled.

But now with Persistent buying Nagarro, Coforge buying Encora for $2.35 billion, TCS buying Coastal Cloud, Infosys buying Optimum Healthcare IT, Indian IT companies going out and buying Western companies for their client relationships, their market presence, and their technology capabilities.

We are the buyers now. :)

This is why people should not take all statements of youtube educators like Vikas Divyakirti seriously!

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Shri Champat Rai’s defense that he didn’t pocket a single rupee is completely irrelevant. He holds ultimate moral responsibility for the corruption that happened on his watch.

If you excuse Rai because he didn’t personally benefit, then you can never blame Manmohan Singh for the massive scams his ministers pulled under his nose. You cannot claim the authority of the top post but disown the corruption happening right in front of you.

As head of the Trust, Rai's absolute duty was to build a foolproof system to protect every single paisa. The poorest of the poor donate their hard-earned money out of pure faith for Ram Kaaj. Letting that money slip into the pockets of subordinates is a monumental betrayal of public trust.

Hiding behind personal honesty isn't a defense. In a position of supreme trust, a total failure of oversight is just as unforgivable as the theft itself.

इनको सार्वजनिक रूप से अपमानित करना अत्यावश्यक है क्योंकि इससे ऐसों का मनोबल टूटता है। बाकी न्यायपालिका का तो आपको अच्छे से पता है: जितना पैसा लगा कर वकील लोगे, उसी अनुपात में आपके पक्ष में न्याय होगा।

जनता को इसमें आनंद आता है क्योंकि जेल में डालना तो स्टेट का कार्य है, जनता को उससे कुछ नहीं मिलता। अंडे मारने से ले कर ऐसों को हाफ-पैंट में पुष्पा का चुष्पा बनते देखने में अलग आत्मिक सुख की प्राप्ति होती है।

Remember Bundelkhand?

It used to be synonymous with drought. Every few months, newspapers would carry the same pictures: women walking miles under the scorching sun with a ghada on their heads, a child in their godi, cracked earth stretching to the horizon, and editorials declaring yet another water crisis.

Bundelkhand has largely disappeared from the national news cycle nowadays. Wonder why? I'll tell you. Because solving a problem is less newsworthy than endlessly talking about it.

Thousands of households that once depended on distant water sources now have tap water connections under Jal Jeevan Mission. The daily ritual of spending hours fetching water is being replaced by something most urban Indians take for granted, turning a tap and getting water. Women have gained time, children spend more time in school, and entire villages have been freed from a burden they carried for generations.

And it doesn't stop there.

A region once discussed only in the context of scarcity is now attracting tourism investment. Mahoba is getting a ₹24.98 crore cultural and heritage tourism project, while the district recorded nearly 28 lakh visitors in a year. A place that once symbolized drought is now being positioned as a destination for heritage, tourism, and economic activity.

This is why Bundelkhand no longer dominates headlines. The pictures of women carrying water pots make for powerful journalism. The pictures of water coming out of taps don't. But for the people living there, the second picture matters far more.

The race that wiped out millions out of hatred because Churchill believed Indians bred like rabbits and didn’t need grain in famine. 3 million died. The race that thought it had the burden to destroy indigenous cultures across the globe in the garb of ‘civilising’ them.

But yes! Least racist! Race or religious superiority was never the motivation. Just pure business, I believe.

[Paritsh Sharrma (🗣️Paritosh) @Paritolkks]

Vivek Agarwal's father was admitted to MAX Hospital. Seven members of his family were staying at the ill-fated Hotel Flourish Stays, where the fire broke out.

Not a single one of them survived.

Entire family was wiped out because some fire officer allegedly took a bribe to issue a fire clearance, some government babu never checked the building plans, and authorities ignored the illegal restaurant operating in the basement.

Now they will find the owner and put all the blame and act as if they are serious. But they won't allow anyone to talk about the system failure that made this tragedy possible.

Sadly, the news cycle will move on, and so will most people.

कंपनी को बचाने के लिए ‘ब्लैकलिस्ट’ क्लॉज हटाया गया?

आज @cbseindia29 की यह स्थिति इसलिए बनी है क्योंकि इसने एक ऐसी कंपनी को कॉन्ट्रैक्ट दिया जिसने इस स्केल पर न तो काम किया था, न कोई पायलट प्रोजेक्ट। कंपनी तेलंगाना में जिस नाम से थी, और जो डायरेक्टर थे, उन्हें ही आगे कर के ये कॉन्ट्रैक्ट लिया गया।

टेंडर के नियम बदले गए, ढील दी गई, शिक्षकों ने मना किया फिर भी पैन इंडिया परीक्षा कराई गई। आज पता चला है कि @dpradhanbjp की प्रिय कंपनी को CBSE ब्लैकलिस्ट नहीं कर सकती।

अगस्त 2025 में जो नियम थे, उसमें यह संभावना थी कि कंपनी का पेमेंट रोक सकते हैं, पैनल्टी लगा सकते हैं, ब्लैकलिस्ट कर सकते हैं। परंतु, अगले महीने में नियमों से ‘ब्लैकलिस्ट’ शब्द हटा दिया गया।

प्रश्न यह है कि किसके कहने से ब्लैकलिस्ट शब्द हटाया गया? क्या CBSE या शिक्षा मंत्रालय/मंत्री को यह बात पता थी कि OSM हैंडल नहीं हो पाएगा? और अगर ऐसा हुआ भी तो कंपनी बची रहेगी?

और फाइन कितना है? यदि आपने बेसिक समस्याओं का निदान नहीं किया तो ₹5,000/घंटा; समस्या पता होने पर निदान न आने पर लाख रुपये प्रति पंद्रह मिनट; रूटकॉज एनालिसिस और उसे सही करने की योजना न जमा करने पर लाख रुपये/घंटा की पैनल्टी है।

अधिकांश समस्याएँ ₹5000/घंटा वाले में ही हैं: लॉगिन, हैंडहोल्डिंग डॉक्स, यूजर मैनुअल्स, ऑन साइट
सपोर्ट, ऑनबोर्डिंग असिस्टेंस या और कुछ जो CBSE के साइट को ठीक से चलाने के लिए आवश्यक है।

यह सड़ाँध अत्यंत गहरी है, इसकी जाँच होनी चाहिए कि जिस परीक्षा में पूरे देश के 18 लाख बच्चे बैठ रहे हों, उसे सुचारू रूप से न करा पाने की स्थिति में CBSE ने ‘ब्लैकलिस्ट’ का विकल्प क्यों नहीं हटाया?

PS: और हाँ मंत्री जी, ₹150/पोस्ट वाले ट्रोल को नियंत्रण में रखो, बेहतर रहेगा वरना डॉकूमेंट्स खोदना मुझे आता है। उसी AI से सब कुछ निकालने में बहुत कम समय लगेगा।
