@namitathapar I recently saw a study showing the benefits of prayer.. any prayer that seeks to connect with a higher power . Will share if I can locate it.. it’s really sad and shameful what being on social media unleashes in some people..

@drshamamohd @narendramodi To those who are bringing up the AI summit, please note a peaceful protest is very different from the kind of destructive hooliganism we see here

I have defended India’s electoral process for decades, telling the world to learn from our Election Commission. But the evidence presented by @RahulGandhi changes the picture — in just one assembly constituency in Karnataka, 100,000 bogus votes; 15–20% of the voter list wrong.

Any credible Election Commission would investigate, fix the list, and punish the guilty. Instead, it is threatening the Leader of the Opposition. In Maharashtra, this happened quietly; in Bihar, it’s a daylight robbery.

The nation deserves an answer. And history will remember this.

India’s High Commissioner to the UK, @VDoraiswami, firmly counters BBC’s propaganda. Sharp, factual, and unapologetic.

@MasalaBai How sick are we!!

[Anish Gawande @anishgawande]

I write this with deep anguish - not just as a politician, but as an Indian.

When I heard Asawari Jagdale describe how her father was asked to recite the Quran before being shot, I shivered. When I saw Hindu men slaughtered like cattle in Pahalgam, I was furious.

But what unsettled me most was how quickly this horror was turned into a political weapon. Not to unite a grieving nation, but to divide it further.

This is exactly what the terrorists wanted. They didn’t just aim to kill. They aimed to create mistrust.

To turn Indian Hindus against Indian Muslims. To fracture communities. To plant poison between neighbours and friends.

Already, trolls are posting, “No need to go to Kashmir, there are Muslims everywhere, start with the one you see.” Landlords in Prayagraj are evicting Kashmiri students for “security concerns.”

Hate, dressed up as patriotism.

But ask yourself: where are the real questions?

Why did this security lapse happen? Why were the number of troops cut in the valley as part of cost-saving measures?

Why has no one spoken of the Muslim man who died saving Hindu lives? Why are we ignoring Kashmiris who sheltered tourists, held protests, and launched helplines?

These stories exist. They just don’t serve a divisive narrative.

Make no mistake, this is a deliberate campaign.

A political handle in Chhattisgarh posts a Studio Ghibli-style cartoon of a grieving widow - then deletes it, once the damage has already been done.

Instead of mourning as Indians, we’re being told to mourn as Hindus. Instead of uniting as Indians, we’re being urged to divide ourselves by faith.

This was a targeted attack on Hindus. Denying that is dishonest.

There is a long and painful history here: from the forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits to attacks on Amarnath yatris.

But using this pain to pit Indian against Indian is unforgivable. That is the terrorists’ final victory. And we must not let them win.

@dhanyarajendran Thanks for sharing this Dhanya. This IAF guy had been shedding crocodile tears all over social media... This video should go viral .

We request you to read this powerful letter from Nek Chand’s granddaughter. The quiet destruction of Chandigarh’s Rock Garden is a blow to India’s environment, heritage, and history.

[Priyank Kharge / ಪ್ರಿಯಾಂಕ್ ಖರ್ಗೆ @PriyankKharge]

The media debates about Aurangzeb, who died centuries ago, while there are no debates on the current crisis the nation faces.

The economy is in distress, with high unemployment, a weakening rupee, declining purchasing power and the alarming erosion of the middle and lower income groups. These issues directly impact millions of lives, yet the media chooses to ignore these to appease their political masters.

Regardless of their religious affiliations, monarchs throughout history have primarily been driven by a desire to expand their empires and amass wealth, either through conquests or strategic alliances. Their actions were dictated by power and ambition, not by the concerns of common people.

As India remains entangled in ideological battles over the past, the youth, who should be shaping the country’s future are losing out on opportunities in the present and future.

Wake Up India!

[India With Congress @UWCforYouth]

Thanks to the BJP IT Cell, which cleverly diverts the most tolerant Indian Janta into the nonsensical drama of India Got Latent, while conveniently distracting from their incompetence on matters of national importance!
