The future! The kids are ok

[Jitu Rajoriya @jitu_rajoriya]

अब युवा वर्ग पूरी तरह से जागरूक हो चुका हैं और अपना हक मांगना शुरू कर दिया है क्योंकि अब युवा वर्ग जान चुका है कि शांत से नहीं क्रांति से हक मिलेगा।

राजस्थान के जालौर जिले में एक शासकीय स्कूल में शिक्���क की कमी से छात्रों में रोष व्याप्त हुआ तो स्कूल के बाहर घंटों तक धरना प्र��र्शन किया और जिसके बाद प्रशासनिक अधिकारियों ने छात्रों समझाईश देकर धरना प्रदर्शन समाप्त कराया और अधिकारियों ने स्कूल में चार शिक्षकों को नियुक्त करने का आदेश जारी किया और बाकी तीन शिक्षकों को दस दिनों के भीतर नियुक्ति का आदेश दिया।

@The_Mooknayak @KotwalMeena Wonderful! You deserve all the encouragement and appreciation for your work

Today the Bombay High Court granted bail to Sharad Kalaskar, convicted in the murder of Narendra Dabholkar.

Dr Dabholkar was the leading face of Maharashtra’s rationalist movement & also the first in a series of four assassinations.
1. Dabholkar,
2. Comrade Govind Pansare,
3.M. M. Kalburgi,
4. Gauri Lankesh

Earlier Sharad along with other accused - Tawade and Amol Kale was granted bail in the separate murder case of Comrade Govind Pansare.

🔵 Narendra Dabholkar : -
On the morning of 20 August 2013, at the peak of his campaign for an anti-superstition law, Narendra Dabholkar was shot dead by two assailants near Omkareshwar Temple in Pune while on his morning walk.

The assailants fired three rounds at him from point-blank range and fled on a bike parked nearby. Dabholkar received one bullet in the head and died instantly.

🔵 Comrade Govind Pansare :
Exactly two years later, almost in a replay of Dabholkar’s murder, another prominent rationalist and senior leader of the Communist Party of India (CPI), Govind Pansare, fell victim to an assassin’s bullet.

🔵 M. M. Kalburgi :
The pattern of murder was repeated for a third time at Dharwad in Karnataka during the morning of 30 August 2015, when two men on a motorbike came to the residence of M.M. Kalburgi – a veteran Kannada writer known for his strong stand against superstitious practices and right-wing Hindutva groups – and fired two rounds on him at point-blank range before fleeing the scene.

🔵 Gauri Lankesh :
Then the number came for the 55-year-old publisher and editor of the Kannada tabloid Gauri Lankesh on 5 Sept 2017. She took on with courage the political establishment and Hindutva right-wing forces through the three decades of her journalistic life.

After Lankesh’s assassination, investigations by multiple agencies found that members of a crime syndicate allegedly linked to the Sanatan Sanstha were involved not only in her killing but also in the murders of Dabholkar, Pansare, and Kalburgi.

In 2024 a session court said the murders of these four rationalist are "interconnected".

However this didn't affect Sanatan Sanstha and their activities.

Before they were murdered, Dabholkar and Pansare faced multiple defamation cases filed against them by the Sanatan Sanstha; Dabholkar alone faced 18 such cases.

Both faced threats and assaults during their lifetimes but consistently refused police protection.

Dabholkar said "If I have to take police protection in my own country from my own people, then there is something wrong with me. I’m fighting within the framework of the Indian Constitution and it is not against anyone, but for everyone."

Dabholkar, Govind Pansare, M. M. Kalburgi, and Gauri Lankesh - they loved this country, its people and so had to pay the price of that love with their lives.

To a whole bunch of cowards, they were threats. Who those cowards are, we all know. And it is the main reason their families are still waiting for justice to this day.

What a shame that a movie crew came to shoot and walked away leaving filth in the pristine, snow covered Gulmarg.

Tourist states need to get brutally strict on such behaviour, heavy penalties, bans. Only then will people understand that these places are not their dustbin.

@OmarAbdullah sir please do take action.

Traders suddenly bet hundreds of millions of dollars on oil prices falling minutes before President Trump’s announcement on Monday that the U.S. would postpone strikes against Iranian energy targets, raising suspicions of insider trading. CBS News’ @jillonmoney has more.

[Save 15a Noida park @save15apark]

Tree cutting has begun in Sector 15A park Noida under the guise of “pruning.” Large branches are being chopped and cleared, paving the way for construction of temple in a notified green area.
Pruning cannot become a cover for deforestation. Authorities must intervene immediately

I asked the question in 2018 when tunnelling for the Mumbai Metro was on.

I must point out that the water seems to be entering at the station and not the tracks or tunnels.
