Woman allegedly drugged, gang raped in Channagiri taluk, Davangere district & 10 arrested

ANI usually highlights the names of the accused if they Muslims but in this case, they don't feel it's important..
Chataki Nagaraj, Istree Nagaraj, Madhu, Arjuna, Basavanth, Kundoora Maruti, Manu, Jogi Sunila and Pradeep.

Anand Patwardhan’s award-winning film "Father, Son and Holy War" has been removed from YouTube. The doc once faced censorship battles before India’s Supreme Court ordered Doordarshan to air it uncut.

Even a 15 min small clip from it explains why, even after 30 yrs. 🙂

@SirKazamJeevi Why is she even there? Just to maintain the diversity numbers?

@aditiraaaj Sounds like a straight person saying "how can someone be homosexual"

We have been confusing preferences with morality for way too long now.

@IndianTechGuide Ahh, the satisfaction from reading this

My UG student from Zimbabwe has actually written a 2500-word research paper on this. How a water-scarce country and capital can ONLY resort to spraying unlimited gallons of water to control its horrific levels of pollution!

More bad news for mobile phone users in India (after SIM binding): Our government is mandating a government app (sanchar saathi) on every new phone, permanently, Reuters reports.

Will be pushed to your phone via OTA. New smartphones need to have it. Users cannot delete it. This is a first. India has never before required an unremovable state app on every device. Russia does btw, with its MAX Messenger (started September 2025).

A few comments regarding this:
1. Sanchar Saathi is a lost phone tracker, but if it gets embedded with no possibility of removal, it becomes a government tracker on your device.

IF the government is allowed to get away with this, what’s next? A mandatory digital ID app? Digiyatra forcefully installed on each device? An app that disables VPNs or tracks your app and browser history? An app that sends copies of your messages to the government once a month?

Once the OS layer is opened to the state, it doesn’t close.

2. Legally, one can argue that your mobile phone is your personal space, and this is an invasion of your personal space.

It’s where we have our most private conversations. Exchange sensitive information with people we trust.

How do we know this app isn’t used to access files and messaging on our device, which is unencrypted on device? Or a future update won’t do that? This is clearly an invasion of our privacy.

3. Remember how the government exempt itself from much of the Data Protection Law. This explains why.

The Data Protection Law will make private companies more accountable and the Indian government less accountable.

4. Bloatware is already an issue with some phones (It’s why I don’t use Samsung). Now there’s more, and this time the government is forcing bloatware. I guess we’ll all have to root our phones now. When you buy a phone with bloatware, you're choosing to buy it with bloatware. This is different.

5. The way things work with India’s Department of Telecom, there was no public consultation, the order wasn’t disclosed. Just forced. This is dictatorial in nature. If they get away with this, more will follow.

@saaiyer It's high time this take cools down.
