Jai Shree Ram 🥺🚩

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

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.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Many BJP spokespersons are foolish, uninformed, and arrogant.

They do not read about or understand the issues for which the govt is facing criticism before participating in TV debates or writing on social media. The only things they specialize in are shooting the messengers and using anecdotal arguments to claim that any criticism against the govt is a conspiracy by some lobby or the deep state. To them, the actual issue is not important; it is never addressed on its merits but simply dismissed as a conspiracy against India.

Such spokespersons do not add any value to the BJP. In fact, they repel potential voters with their arrogance, superficial arguments, and refusal to engage in meaningful dialogue.

Cancer patient was about to die. She pleaded. Her plea has been listed 57 times. The court has still not heard it. Teesta Setalvad was about to be jailed. She pleaded. Her plea was listed out of turn. The court heard it at midnight.

Cancer patient is dead. Teesta is alive.

@GautamGambhir had ruined the Red Ball side already. Now he is on a mission to destroy T20I team!

Oh God, Please save #TeamIndia from this GG-Agarkar duo. 🤞🏽🙏🏽

ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವದ ಅಡಿಪಾಯ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮತ: ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ ಮರೆಯದಿರಿ!

ರಾಜ್ಯಾದ್ಯಂತ ಇಂದಿನಿಂದ ಜುಲೈ 29 ರವರೆಗೆ ಮತದಾರರ ಪಟ್ಟಿಗಳ ವಿಶೇಷ ಸಮಗ್ರ ಪರಿಷ್ಕರಣೆಯ (SIR) ಅಂಗವಾಗಿ ಮನೆ-ಮನೆ ಸಮೀಕ್ಷೆ (Enumeration) ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಈ ಹಿನ್ನೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇಂದು ಸದಾಶಿವನಗರದ ನನ್ನ ನಿವಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಸದಸ್ಯರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಬಿಎಲ್‌ಓಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಗತ್ಯ ದಾಖಲೆಗಳು ಹಾಗೂ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನೀಡಿ ನಾನು ನೋಂದಣಿ ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗವಹಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ.

ನಾಡಿನ ಸಮಸ್ತ ನಾಗರಿಕರಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಅರ್ಹ ಮತದಾರರಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನದೊಂದು ವಿನಂತಿ, ನೀವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಮನೆಗೆ ಬರುವ ಬೂತ್ ಮಟ್ಟದ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ (BLO) ಪೂರ್ಣ ಸಹಕಾರ ನೀಡಿ, ಅಗತ್ಯ ಮಾಹಿತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಒದಗಿಸುವ ಮೂಲಕ ನಿಮ್ಮ ವಿವರಗಳು ಮತದಾರರ ಪಟ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ದಾಖಲಾಗಿರುವುದನ್ನು ಖಚಿತಪಡಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ.

ನೆನಪಿಡಿ, ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವ ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಕೇವಲ ಒಂದು ಆಡಳಿತ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲ, ಅದು ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ನಾಗರಿಕನ ಧ್ವನಿ. ಆ ಧ್ವನಿಗೆ ಶಕ್ತಿ ತುಂಬುವುದು ನಮ್ಮ 'ಮತ'. ನಾವು ಚಲಾಯಿಸುವ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಮತವೂ ದೇಶದ ಭವಿಷ್ಯವನ್ನು ರೂಪಿಸುವ ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರಜಾಪ್ರಭುತ್ವವನ್ನು ಗಟ್ಟಿಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಪವಿತ್ರ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯವಾಗಿದೆ.

ಅಗತ್ಯ ದಾಖಲೆ ನೀಡಿ – ಮತದಾನದ ಹಕ್ಕನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ!

Participated in the house-to-house enumeration under the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral rolls along with my family today.

The house-to-house enumeration drive will be conducted from today until 29th July. I urge every eligible voter across Karnataka to extend full cooperation to the Booth Level Officers (BLOs), complete the required formalities, and ensure that their details are accurately reflected in the electoral roll.

Your vote is your voice.
Secure your vote - Secure your voice.

.@PriyankKharge’s letter addressed to RSS Chief Shri Mohan Bhagwat Ji is not an exercise in constitutional inquiry.

It is a calculated political provocation: thin on law, thick on presumption, and conspicuously marked by the entitlement of dynastic politics.

For a full century, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has served the nation openly, in the full glare of public scrutiny: building character, fostering discipline, strengthening social cohesion, and doing so without seeking state patronage.

Certain Congress leaders, by contrast, have preferred suspect diplomacy - flying to China to sign an MoU with the Chinese Communist Party, shrouded in secrecy and political discomfort.

The contrast could not be starker.

One has operated in Indian sunlight for a hundred years.

The other has repeatedly found comfort in foreign shadows.

Let us address Priyank Kharge’s demands with the precision they lack.

Article 19(1)(c) of the Constitution guarantees every citizen the fundamental right to form associations, unions or co-operative societies. This is not a privilege granted by the State. It is a constitutional freedom.

Article 19(4) permits reasonable restrictions on this freedom only on specified constitutional grounds, and only by authority of law.

Nowhere does the Constitution mandate that every voluntary association must first obtain registration from the State before it can exist or function.

The RSS is precisely such a voluntary association of citizens, united by a shared ideological, cultural and national vision.

It requires no certificate of existence from a minister.

It requires no political permission slip from a dynast.

It requires no registration merely because a Congress leader wishes to manufacture a controversy.

Priyank Kharge’s demand that the RSS must “register” or justify its legal existence is not rooted in constitutional text, statutory obligation or settled principle. It is a whimsical assertion unsupported by law.

In a constitutional democracy governed by the Rule of Law, no individual, however exalted his office, may issue dictates and expect compliance merely because he occupies public office.

Priyank Kharge may be a Minister in the Government of Karnataka. That office confers upon him only those executive powers that law recognises. It does not confer upon him the authority to summon any citizen or organisation and demand that it restructure itself according to his personal fancies.

Such demands, unmoored from any legal mandate, are non est in law.

A dynast indulged by inheritance does not become larger than the Constitution merely because he sits in a ministerial chair.

It was perhaps in anticipation of precisely this species of overreach by those clothed with temporary authority that Thomas Fuller observed: “Be you ever so high, the law is above you.”

Those words were later immortalised by Lord Denning in The Due Process of Law.

The point applies squarely here.

Further, Mr. Kharge’s insistence on disclosure of funding, expenditure, assets and taxation conveniently ignores settled judicial pronouncements.

The question of taxability of Gurudakshina - the voluntary offerings received by the RSS from its members - has already been examined by a constitutional court.

In Commissioner of Income-Tax vs. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Patna High Court upheld the principle of mutuality and held that Gurudakshina received from members is not taxable.

The RSS has never claimed exemption from the law.

It has simply refused to be bullied into accepting obligations that the law itself does not impose.

For a hundred years, it has functioned openly, published its activities, withstood bans, political hostility and repeated attempts by Congress governments to delegitimise it.

It has done so without taxpayer money. Or foreign funding.

The letter addressed by Junior Kharge in the garb of accountability stems from legal misconception and political malice.

It is unworthy of the constitutional office he holds and of the democratic traditions he claims to defend.

The RSS needs no certificate of good conduct from any dynast, however high his office.

The law remains above all of us.

Kharge junior’s pompous demands lie beneath it.

Different parts of India are witnessing soaring temperatures and the challenges that come with it. This heat is harsh on all of us and I urge you all to take as many precautions as possible. Please stay hydrated, keep water with you when stepping out. Offer a glass of water to others. In weather like this, such kindness goes a long way.

[Abhilash Prakash @ExactlyInWords]

Finally someone said it!

[Rajiv @Rajiv1841]

It is never about Shreyas Iyer vs Rajat Patidar in Indian T20I team, it is Shreyas Iyer & Rajat Patidar.

Drop:
- Suryakumar Yadav
- Tilak Varma

Select:
- Shreyas Iyer
- Rajat Patidar
