@himantabiswa Despite repeated requests, no one is looking into our road, or giving us a hearing. Kindly 🙏 urge the Mayor and Councillor to look into this matter. Our senior citizens can't even walk on the road... and this is in middle of Guwahati. @CMOfficeAssam @gmc_guwahati

🚨IMPORTANT NEWS🚨

Since Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is in the news, I have some very important but sad news to share about a Supreme Court judge.

Supreme Court judge Justice Satish Chandra Sharma. Just two months away from retirement.

If you remember, the Allahabad High Court had imposed a penalty on Medha Roopam, the DM of Noida and daughter of Gyanesh Kumar with a fine of five lakh rupees for irrationally issuing NSA order against a student Activist for Noida labour protest.

That order was challenged before the Supreme Court of India. Live Law, the news portal, reported that Gyanesh’s daughter’s case was listed before Justice Satish Chandra Sharma out of turn and in violation of the Supreme Court roster and rules and convention. The challenge ought to have gone before Justice Nagarathna’s bench, known to be an independent upright judge.

Two days back, when the matter was listed for hearing, Justice Sharma‘s bench switched off the audio of the Supreme Court proceeding, which is highly unusual and almost never done. ALARMING. There was no explanation from the judge’s side as to why this extraordinary favour was done for Gyanesh’s daughter.

In any case the fine and the adverse remarks of the Allahabad High Court were stayed by Justice Sharma immediately.

Same day, in another case related to Gyanesh Kumar—the constitutional challenge that was filed against the 2023 law on election commissioners of India was finally decided by a two judge bench of which Justice Sharma was a part of.

Under challenge was the appointments procedure where the leader of opposition today holds only an ornamental seat in the Three-member selection committee that selects Election commissioner of India. The other two are PM and his Cabinet Minister. Justice Sharma dissented which led to a split verdict and the case has now been sent before the Chief Justice of India for constituting a larger bench. This has delayed the case by years probably. This split verdict itself came after three years. This is how the Supreme Court refuses to hear most important cases that affect our lives and the country.

A separate blanket immunity granted to past and present election commissioners of India by Modi’s government is also pending for last 9 months before CJI Surya Kant. Today, the Chief Election Commissioner has been exposed for gross illegalities and for stealing votes and elections at the behest of powers that be. Any sane, sorted, neutral, just person can see that the selection process of ECIs is not independent and tilted in govt’s favour. But not Justice Sharma.

And here’s the big news: his son holds not one, not two, but four big, plum government counsel panels, including income, tax department, GST, customs, and excise, and a Madhya Pradesh government lawyer panel. I need not explain the great perks and influence that come along when you hold such plum government panels. Read my Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma report where I exposed the same thing.

I am withholding the name of the son for now.

The important question is: how can a judge be expected to do impartial and fair Justice in politically sensitive cases if his family members serve at the pleasure of the government? The judge is also retiring two months later, and several lawyers have informed me that there are vacancies in NCLAT and other search plum tribunals.

I’M SORRY TO SAY such a system of judiciary does not inspire confidence in its ability to do impartial justice. There is a reason why the ethics code for judges require them to maintain a sense of aloofness and not do anything which can harm the their image and that of the judiciary.

Both in Justice Swarna Kanta’s case and several other judges case, including that of the Supreme Court, it is TRAGIC to notice the complete capture of the institution of the Indian judiciary. Can the judiciary go on like this?

बालाघाट की महिला पत्रकार माधुरी कटरे को सुनिए… भाषा में क्या प्रवाह है और विचारों में क्या साफ़गोई… छोटे छोटे शहरों ने ऐसे बड़े बड़े पत्रकार गढ़े हैं… बड़े बड़े शहरों में छोटी छोटी लालच में पत्रकार बिछ गए हैं और आज भी बिछ रहे हैं…

सत्ता जितने टूल्स इस्तेमाल कर ले। रीढ़ सीधी कर खड़ा रहना है। अपनी बात कहते रहना है। यही पत्रकारिता है। बाक़ी जितना लंबवत् होते रहें…

माधुरी याद है आपको?? कोल्हापुर की वो हथिनी जिसने मुकेश अम्बानी की दुनिया हिला दी थी.

जिसे अम्बानी ने छल कपट से Vantara पहुंचाया था, 409 दिन के बाद वो वापिस लौट आयी है

इसमें अब प्रचार ये किया जा रहा है कि अनंत अम्बानी की दरियादिली है, लेकिन सच्चाई कुछ और ही है.

825000 आबादी वाले कोल्हापुर में माधुरी को वापिस लाने के लिए बहुत संघर्ष किया लोगों ने.

1 लाख से ज्यादा जिओ सिम पोर्ट करवाये गए
70 हज़ार से अधिका याचिकाएं दी गयीं
30 किलोमीटर की पदयात्रा कई बार निकाली गयीं

बीजेपी पार्षद से लेकर विधायक सांसद तक का बॉयकॉट हुआ.

करोड़पति आदमी और सत्ता को कैसे झुकाया जाता है, ये कोल्हापुर वालों से सीखे. ये खबर आपको मीडिया नहीं बताने वाला वैसे. 😊

What makes Malgudi Days so timeless is that Shankar Nag brought R.K. Narayan's fictional town to life right in Agumbe, a quiet, rain-soaked village in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. it receives the highest rainfall in South India & the 2nd highest in the entire country after Meghalaya, earning it the moniker "Cherrapunji of the South."

Swami’s house in the TV show is a 150+ yr old heritage mansion named Dodda Mane ("Big House" in Kannada), situated right on Agumbe’s main street.

It is built in the traditional Malnad Thotti Mane style, featuring massive teakwood pillars, long outer verandahs (where Swami's father sat reading newspapers) & a large open central courtyard (thotti) designed to catch rainwater.

The house belonged to the late Kasturi Baile (fondly known to 1000s of travelers as Kasturi Akka/Amma). Shankar Nag fell in love with the vintage authenticity of the home in the mid 1980s. Kasturi Akka opened her doors to the entire cast & crew, including Master Manjunath (Swami) & Girish Karnad, making it the central heart of the show.

Kasturi Akka firmly refused to turn Dodda Mane into a commercial hotel/corporate resort & operated it like heritage homestay. She never took advance room bookings, never handed out a price list & never asked for money when guests left.

Visitors were given basic room/dormitory sleeping mats & served endless, heartwarming, traditional Malnad vegetarian meals served on banana leaves along with her famous herbal Kashaya tea.

Upon leaving, guests were simply pointed to a contribution box/allowed to hand over whatever amount they felt comfortable with, whether it was ₹100/1000/nothing at all.

Though Kasturi Akka passed away a few yrs ago, her family, specifically her daughter Sujaya & her extended family continues to live in Dodda Mane & hosts travelers who visit Agumbe to relive those childhood Doordarshan memories, keeping her exact legacy & open-door tradition alive.

Stepping into that courtyard still feels like Swami might come running down the wooden stairs any second! 🙏🙏
