An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:
My dear young friends,
I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.
This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.
I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.
So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.
To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.
And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.
To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.
With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.
And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.
What will you do if your seniors torture you , make you murgha in OT , make you stand whole night and ask for selfie every hour to show your timing and location ?
This is happening in GMC Bhavnagar , Gujarat where some animals in ortho dept are doing it with their juniors .
Each one of them should be terminated and their professors and HOD should be investigated for becoming spectators !

For women receiving tenofovir solely for prevention of vertical transmission, antivirals can generally be stopped at delivery or within 4–12 weeks postpartum, provided there is no independent maternal indication for continued therapy and close postpartum monitoring is ensured.
Imagine a 17 or 18-year-old kid.
A kid who practically locked himself in a room.
Cut himself off from the world. Did not attend family functions. Did not watch movies. Felt guilty even while taking breaks.
He would look outside the house and see other kids having a good time. He would long for their carefree lives, but then he would remember that lifelong dream, the dream of becoming a doctor, and he would return to the world of books.
Life became all about A, B, C and D.
As the exam came closer, life became even tougher. The pressure became too much to bear. He was still a kid, but grown up enough to dislike sharing his anxiety with others.
He would talk to a friend who was in the same situation, and then came the line that kept both of them going:
“Few weeks more, and it will all be over.”
He pushed himself further.
The anxiety increased. For the first time, he understood what sleeplessness meant, what palpitations felt like, what the pressure of expectations was, and what loneliness could do to a person.
The whole ecosystem of preparation kept telling him that he needed to do more.
Every motivational video, every strategy session, every video of toppers being made to dance awkwardly, all seemed to tell him the same thing:
You need to do more.
So he pushed himself further.
“Few days more.”
That was the thought that gave him some strength.
Then came exam day.
He had struggled to sleep the previous night. In the morning, he puked. He could not eat. His family forced him to take some juice, and somehow, he reached his exam centre.
The next few hours would decide whether his dream would come true, or whether he would see it shattered at the tender age of 17.
He did everything he could in those hours.
The exam went well.
And now, he had hope.
But that hope rested on one basic presumption:
That the system is fair.
That in this system, hard work gets rewarded.
And then came the news of a paper leak.
The boy was shattered.
The seats are few. What will happen now?
If those who got access to the leaked paper get the seats, students like him will be edged out.
And then came another news.
There may be a re-exam.
He has to go back to the same books again.
Again the sleepless nights. Again the puking. Again the palpitations.
Will he survive it?
Or will the stress be too much, and will it finally break him?
What is his fault?
What did he do wrong?
Why can his government not ensure even basic fairness in the system?
Why do leaders who cannot stop praising themselves fail to do the minimum for the kids of this country?
And why do officers who write essays on ethics become corrupt the moment they get power?
Why is this country still so dysfunctional?
And why are people still afraid to ask questions?
Alas, there will be no answers.
The kid will be told to stay strong and go back to the grind.
It will be business as usual.
Justice? What is that?

Paper Leak: Betrayal with Students!
Preparing for an entrance exam like NEET requires that students sacrifice everything in their lives and study like a machine for months and years. Students undergo tremendous physical and emotional hardships, and they put themselves through this with a basic belief that if they work hard enough, their dreams can be achieved.
Paper leaks are a betrayal to those dreams of innocent and hardworking kids. A hardworking student who deserved to be in a medical college gets his or her seat stolen because our government and agencies could not conduct a fair exam. This is nothing but a betrayal of hardworking kids.
Shame!

The framework of a genocide of General Caste is being created @narendramodi@PMOIndia@HMOIndia.
It seems someone is planning to burn heaps of Janeyus on daily basis, just like Sikandar Butshikan and Shams-ud-din Araki.

I can predict once the Russia-Ukraine peace deal is done, Trump will go after Venezuela hard with sanctions and try take out Maduro. If everything fails, a false flag and direct bombing-invasion will happen. Why will the US do it? The answer is below for you. Gn.
डियर @fssaiindia के अधिकारियों ,
आपने पूरे देश में मिलावटी खाद्य पदार्थ, नकली पनीर और नकली घी के खिलाफ नेशन-वाइड जांच की बड़ी घोषणा की थी। मीडिया में ढोल पीटा गया, हेडलाइन बनीं, और जनता को भरोसा दिलाया गया कि सख्त कार्रवाई होगी।
आज आपकी घोषणा को 15 दिन हो चुके हैं।
अब सीधे सवाल 👇
यह नेशन-वाइड जांच कहां तक पहुंची?
कितने राज्यों में छापे मारे गए?
कितनी फैक्ट्रियां, गोदाम और सप्लाई चेन की जांच हुई?
कितने सैंपल फेल पाए गए और किन-किन शहरों में?
कितने लाइसेंस सस्पेंड/रद्द किए गए?
कितने FIR और प्रॉसिक्यूशन शुरू हुए?
जनता के सामने जांच की सार्वजनिक रिपोर्ट कब जारी होगी?
अगर कार्रवाई हुई है तो डेटा सार्वजनिक कीजिए राज्यवार, जिला-वार, केस-वार।
और अगर नहीं हुई, तो साफ बताइए >>
क्या यह पूरा मामला सिर्फ प्रेस रिलीज़ और फर्जी नैरेटिव बिल्डिंग तक सीमित था?
क्या मिलावटखोर माफिया के सामने FSSAI सिर्फ बयानबाज़ी कर रही है?
खाने की सुरक्षा पब्लिक हेल्थ का मुद्दा है।
यहां शोर नहीं, जवाबदेही और ठोस कार्रवाई चाहिए।
The real problem is that even after such incidents, not a single sarkari babu or poltician is ever arrested.
That absence of consequences is exactly why these things keep repeating.
Much respect to whoever is this man in this DRDO test going at 800 km/hr to test a fully indigenous ejection seat system. Also, only three countries could do tests like these, now India joins them. Kudos to DRDO scientists.
Wing Commander Namansh Syal was known for his discipline and excellent service record.
His wife is also an Air Force officer. They have a five-year-old daughter. Imagine how happy they must have been when he was selected to represent India at the Dubai Expo, where countries send their best pilots.
Their daughter must have been bubbling with excitement, reminding him to bring her something from Dubai. He would have planned a little sightseeing, a little shopping, and a lot of memories to bring home after the expo.
His parents, his father also a veteran, were at his house in Hyderabad to see him after he came back from Dubai.
And then, in a few unforgiving seconds, everything ended. The country will mourn for a few days, offer condolences, and move on to the next headline. But for his family, the pain is permanent. Their world has shifted irreversibly. Their lives will never be what they were a moment before that crash.
For every uniform we salute, there is a family that silently carries the cost of that courage. Their strength is the unseen backbone of our nation’s defence.
When I started competing, I had a small dream - to one day compete alongside the able-bodied and win medals ♥️ I didn’t make it at first, but I kept going, learning from every setback.
Now, that dream is one step closer. 🌟
In the Asia Cup trials, I secured Rank 3 and will now represent India in the Asia Cup - in the able-bodied category. 🇮🇳
Dreams take time. Work. Believe. Repeat. 💫
