So in the past 24 hours, Musk has supportively quote tweeted Anirudhha Malpani, Nitin Meshram, Venkatesh Alla and Rahul Gandhi, to push Starlink to India.

If you think all of this is organic, I have an airport at Parandur to sell you.

[The Sacred Scroll @SacredScroll]

Gloves are off now, Elon.

Still no licence? Wrong. Starlink got its Unified Licence with GMPCS authorisation from the DoT in June 2025. You know that. Your own VP posted about it.

Ambani is the real boss?

Ambani's Jio lobbied for a spectrum auction. India gave you administrative allocation, the exact thing you asked for. Then you signed distribution deals with Jio and Airtel. If Ambani is blocking you, why is he your reseller?

Five years of complying?

In 2021 you took pre-order money from Indians with no licence at all. The DoT had to order you to stop and refund people. That was your first move in India.

India's home ministry reportedly froze clearances after Starlink terminals showed up in Iran, where you aren't even licensed. Before that, our army pulled one out of a militant cache in Manipur. Your own company says talks are active and productive. So which version is true: the one your VP tells Delhi, or the one you tell 200 million followers?

The spectrum rules were cleared last month and are headed to Cabinet. You're weeks from the finish line, and you're throwing a tantrum in public to rush a sovereign country's security review.

India isn't a market you can bully on X. Wait your turn.

How? By filing cases under the "Atrocious" Act against erudite professors in premier institutions for preventing "young talent" from cheating in examinations.

"Unpopular Academic Advice" #8: When I was younger, I envied people who could ace exams effortlessly. They had the talent. I had the grind. I could get high scores, too, but only by working painfully hard. For a long time, I thought that meant I was behind.

Years later, I see it differently. I don’t have world-class math talent. I’m not that musically gifted. I wasn’t born with the kind of beauty that stops a room.

But I do have something rarer: I’m resilient. I can stay motivated, work hard for a long time, absorb setbacks, and not burn out. That turns out to be a talent too, and a powerful one.

Because if you’re resilient, you can learn almost any skill you weren’t born with. Talent gives you a head start. Resilience decides how far you go.

Unpopular academic advice: stop asking “What am I naturally good at?” Start asking “What can I keep working on, even when it’s hard?”

That answer compounds.

Dhruv Rathi in his Dhurandhar video:

The film shows Indian agencies sent spies in Pakistan.

But here are news reports where the Indian govt is themselves DENYING they ever sent a spy.

So you can see, the movie is totally false.

This is the level of Dhruv Rathi IQ 🥲

Sorry but this isn’t an “apology”
You
• knew that winters are prone to delays
• knew you had a pilot shortage
• had 18 months to rectify
• you still sold tickets
• you still overbooked for available capacity

There have to be CONSEQUENCES. This was EXTORTION.

Nov 26, 2008: Ajmal Kasab and Abu Ismail hijacked a Skoda and were racing toward Girgaom Chowpatty after leaving a trail of killings behind them, when Mumbai Police, acting on wireless alerts, set up a naka.

The car sped toward the barricade, police fired, its tyres shot out, screeching to a halt. Ismail jumped out firing wildly, killing a constable before being brought down by police.

Kasab stayed inside, pretending to surrender, stepping out slowly with an AK-47 hidden under his jacket, waiting for someone to come close. ASI Tukaram Omble, a retired Army soldier, rushed forward, only for Kasab to suddenly pull out the rifle and unleash a full burst at point-blank range.

In that split second, Omble grabbed the barrel with his bare hands, taking every shot through his own body and keeping the gun pinned toward himself, denying Kasab the chance to mow down the rest of the team. Those few seconds were enough for the other officers to surround Kasab and capture him alive.

Omble succumbed to the bullets, but his sacrifice ensured the lone surviving terrorist of 26/11 was taken alive, and that's how the entire attempt to twist the attack into “Hindutva terrorism” collapsed in an instant.

ASI (and Naik) Tukaram Omble, Ashok Chakra. Naman. The nation can’t ever be short of gratitude.

Big: Human Rights Commission member Priyank Kanoongo has objected to Indian Railways serving only Halal-certified meat in meals

He has served notice to Railway board, saying halal-only meal violates livelihood rights of Dalits and Sikhs who are in non-halal meat industry on account of being non-Muslims

Complaint filed by Legal Rights Observatory and Ambedkar Jankalyan Samiti

Halal-only policies push economic apartheid

Medical students are actually addicted to the whole process of studying and giving exams. They feel empty and purposeless if they don’t get to study and feel the mental pressure of writing an exam. So, to give their life meaning, they write exams every few months. Once they clear all the exams, some finally realize that there is life outside this too, while others start preparing for another exam.

Reports of Donald Trump negotiating a ceasefire between me and @MichaelVaughan are BASELESS and UNTRUE. The social media war will continue. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #ENGvIND

The absolute vileness & petty mind that spits on ur own country using blatantly false statements of foreign leaders! Indian economy is anything but dead. Have ur political differences with @narendramodi for all anyone cares, but loathing ur country for that time and time again is odious & disgusting.

🚨 Live from Goa

After a truly pathetic and failed PR stunt by the minister’s team, spreading misinformation through pet media channels, doctors across Goa have united and conveyed that they have had enough.

Residents from across the state have gathered right now in protest against the long-standing authoritarian behavior of the Goa Health Minister, who treats GMC like his personal fiefdom. This isn’t “inside news”; it’s an open secret. You can also go and search on the internet!

The message from Goa’s medical community is crystal clear:

The apology needs to be as loud as the insult. Doctors are demanding that the minister step into the casualty ward and apologise in person to the doctor he humiliated. They will not accept anything less.

Goa’s doctors are standing united today against political hooliganism and VIP culture which affects our ability to serve patients equitably. Let’s rally behind them and make sure our hospitals remain spaces of care and not political circus grounds.

Support Goa’s doctors!
Say no to VIP bullying!
Say yes to dignity in healthcare!
