The ongoing student protest could have been handled much better. The government should immediately remove the advisor. тЬНЁЯП╝

Amid all the in-and-out politics and rumours, it's delightful to watch Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli leading the charge at Lord's.

Dear @RBI: Do not let the psychology of Rs 100 per dollar determine your policy response. 100 is just a number, like 99 and 101. Whether the oil shortage is short-lived or long-lived, the right response at this moment is to let the rupee depreciate. 1/6
Seeing videos and photographs of @ManvendraJasol circulating across social media -- not for his public work or ideas, but for a deeply personal life decision -- has been truly heartbreaking.
For many, he is a former MP from Barmer-Jaisalmer, a former MLA, a writer, and the son of former Union minister Jaswant Singh. But beyond public life, those who know him have seen a humble, thoughtful individual -- a devoted father, a loyal husband, and a compassionate friend with a liberal outlook on life.
Two years ago, he lost his wife, Chitra Singh, in a tragic car accident -- a loss no public stature can soften. Grief changes people, and sometimes healing begins when companionship returns.
His decision to remarry at 60 should have been welcomed as a sign of hope. Instead, it has led to social judgement and even a purportedly family statement distancing itself from him, a descision reportedly rooted in caste and community boundaries. That is what makes this moment deeply painful.
The right to companionship and personal choice does not expire with age or social expectations. A widower choosing to rebuild his life is not rejecting tradition -- he is choosing to live again.
This episode reminds us that despite progress, remnants of feudal thinking still linger, where honour is placed above empathy and social identity above individual happiness.
For over thirteen years, I have known him as a gentle, reflective person whose conversations reflected openness and intellectual curiosity. Watching a deeply human decision reduced to gossip and outrage is disheartening.
Every individual deserves dignity in grief, freedom in love, and respect for personal choices.
Sometimes the sadness lies not in what a person chooses, but in how society responds.
In solidarity.

Jagdeep S Chhokar
We lost in the passing away of Jagdeep S Chhokar a relentless votary for a clean and transparent electoral system
A great humanist of unquestionable integrity
I salute him for what he stood for
Farewell my friend
Jagdeep ChhokarтАЩs passing is a colossal loss for the nation. He was a fierce crusader for democratic reforms in the country. Jagdeep ji was a dear friend and a co-traveller in the right to information movement. We worked closely on many issues, ranging from electoral bonds to transparency in the working of the Election Commission. A wonderful human being, he was completely dedicated to the cause of preserving democratic norms and institutions. He will be deeply missed. May he rest in power.
Immensely saddened by sudden passing of Jagdeep Chhokar, ADR founder
Chhokar was a gentle giant
One of our foremost defenders of democracy
He leaves us at a time when democracy is most in peril
Our best tribute to him is to carry forward his battle to clean IndiaтАЩs elections
Extremely sad to know that Prof Jagdeep Chhokar, founder of ADR passed away this morning. A crusader for clean elections and electoral reforms. He has donated his body for medical research. May his soul rest in peace.
Jagdeep Sir often told me, "You can call me anytime, unapologetically, because you are the only journalist whose call I would always answer."
So, I called him this morning, hoping to hear his voice - but he didnтАЩt answer. It was painful to accept that he has left us and is now in a better place.
He was a man of principles, who believed deeply in democracy and peopleтАЩs rights. He spoke his mind fearlessly. He often got frustrated, but he never gave up. He believed in raising his voice against injustice.
He has left behind a deep void - one thatтАЩs very difficult to fill. But IтАЩm sure those who believed in him and worked with him for a cause will continue to walk the path he showed, for the betterment of our society.
IтАЩve learnt a lot from him. He was my go-to person on all matters related to elections. This feels like a personal loss.
We shall meet again, Sir. I donтАЩt know when, where, or how - but we shall meet again.
Till then, rest in peaceтАж and keep guiding us.
#RIP @JagdeepChhokar
