Our reporter, @Keshavmalan93, was asking simple questions to a protestor who happens to be a Muslim
A protestor, who claimed to be a journalist, abused and attacked him.
Keshav stood his ground. And that cockroach has to eventually run away.
I can’t express how proud I am

This guy guided protestors to reach a particular place so that Delhi Police beats them up and he can enjoy the scenes. 😭😭

Dear Elon @elonmusk
You hv certainly stirred up plenty of reaction with ur posts. But this needs a response from me, as did ur “Electronic Voting machines can be hacked” post from some time ago.
As someone who knows a little bit abt Telecom as someone who played a decent-ish role in building Indias wireless sector as an Entrepreneur and then as a policy maker , let me share my thoughts.
It is true that Indias Telecom was a sector beset with opaqueness and corruption for several decades - where cronies ruled under the benevolent love and the politics of ur latest fan (name not withheld - @RahulGandhi )
But under PM @narendramodi , 3 principles govern the tech (including Telecom/Internet) sector.
Open, Safe & Trusted and Accountable.
#OSTA
✅ Open - Free from any monopoly-duopoly. Free and fair competition.
✅ #SafeAndTrusted - Infra, Network , Platforms must be safe and trusted.
✅ Accountable - Every participant should be legally accountable for safety and trust.
I was a MP first and then part of PM @narendramodi jis team when this framework was developed. I have more than a little experience of fighting years of political and bureaucratic opaqueness and corruption, which shaped these principles.
so todays India is not that old crony driven India.
I am not in govt anymore and certainly dont speak for it. But it seems to me that Govt has made it clear: all three satcom licensees are at broadly the same stage of ensuring security clearance by verifying its safety and trust first, then spectrum.
Satellite IP services have many security implications. More so in a country like India which has faced years of Terror and insurgency supported by inmical state actors in our neighbourhood. From 26/11 terror attacks to recent ones in Pahalgam, satcom has been preferred comm for Terrorists. Satellite VOIP and encryption creates more challenges security wise. Not insurmountable but new capabilities and capacity hv to be built to ensure Safety and Trust.
I hv used @Starlink and I think its awesome technology - and represents a new era in mobility innovation. No doubt.
But a country has to plan for itself and its interests before every new choice. Thats what India is doing. Patience is unavoidable and in this case is a necessity.
LIVE VOTE CHORI 😂
Congress & Left bought a crowd for their march, but a guy quietly HANDED them BJP flags and they happily started waving the Lotus in Congress's own rally 🤣
Epic embarrassment 🔥
Pakistan’s Army wanted to become a regional power broker. Instead, its generals may have walked into another strategic trap. When ambition outruns capability, even the loudest military establishment has to face reality.

Today, 15 lawyers have been lined up in the Supreme Court to seek permission for the CJP protest scheduled for tomorrow, lawyers whose fee for a single hearing is around 1 crore rupees.😱
So, who funded 15 crore rupees for 1 hearing for the CJP?
😱😱

Kannada journalist Ajit Hanumakkanavar calls out Prakash Rai's blatant lies and claims and schools him on the basic rules of the SIR process. 🔥🔥
When asked, Prakash Raj reportedly admitted that he had not submitted the Form 6, yet claimed his name had been deleted. How can such claim be made without first understanding the basic procedure..?

🚨 DHRUV RATHEE IN BIG TROUBLE
Ex-IPS officer Bhaskar Rao writes to Home Ministry seeking VERIFICATION of Rathee’s citizenship & visa credentials, citing visa rules that PROHIBIT FOREIGN nationals from joining domestic political protests.
Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.
