Justice Muralidhar has world's admiration for heading a Commission appointed to look at Israel's war crimes. He's a hero everywhere but in his own country where mainstream media hasn't even bothered to carry reports/editorials on the commission's extraordinary findings.

So @FIFAcom, you’re hosting the World Cup in a country whose president just threatened the lives & safety of the players of one of the teams that have qualified for the tournament.
This Goebbelsian pantomime MUST END NOW!!!!

After such overwhelming win, what shame not to shake your opponents hands. We have reduced sport and our sportmen to indignified specimens which diminishes their stature.

International athletes have complained about the toxic Delhi air to the International Olympic Committee — which has “taken note”.
But foreign players' exposure is occasional; for Indian athletes, there's no escape.

#AQI right now in India's capital, 4th largest economy. There are small children living in this toxic zone. But no political will to do even the basic minimum to address the problem.

"If citizens continue to remain silent, they will imperil their freedom and democracy. Collective action can lead to these changes being reversed. The future of transparency and accountability hinges on whether citizens and media can push back and protect the integrity of RTI"

Last Sunday, Hardik Singh helped team India reclaim the #hockey Asia Cup after 8 years.
On Wednesday, he used the prize money from the competition to adopt a family affected by #PunjabFloods and help them rebuild their lives

[Rahul Mehra @TheRahulMehra]

A thread on the shameless Sports Bill 2025 being tabled in Parliament today. Unfortunately not a single political leader or any of the political parties has questioned/objected to the highly regressive & draconian provisions of the Bill.
As the saying goes, “Is hamam mein sab…?”

Remembering Abu Abraham, one of India’s sharpest political cartoonists. His pen sliced through power with wit and grit - especially during the 1975 Emergency. From The Observer to The Guardian, then back to India -Abu never lost his edge. My piece.
