Read this story. Carefully.
CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it.
Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed.
TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, qualified in the third round too. TCS lost. COEMPT - a company with a spectacular track record of failure - won.
And what are CBSE students complaining about today? Badly scanned answer sheets. Missing pages. A broken evaluation portal.
Teachers had warned CBSE that the OSM system needed at least a year or two for further preparation before nationwide implementation, yet it was rushed through.
So I ask again - who wanted COEMPT to win? Who lowered the bar, step by step, until this company could clear it?
Pradhan ji and CBSE say “due process was followed.” That is not an answer, that is not accountability. The question is whether the contract was honestly awarded to the best company which could do the job correctly.
The futures of 18.5 lakh children were handed to a company that could only qualify after the rules were bent for it.
To the BJP Ministers attacking me for asking questions - I have, from day one, demanded an independent judicial probe. Expand it from CBSE to every contract awarded to COEMPT. Our youth deserve the truth.
And Modi ji, your silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister tells the country what you actually care about - not the futures of lakhs of students, only the survival of your own government.

@1vinci6le According to bhakts this is true
Man apparently got used to Nalli Nihari (used to have Ganga Snaan to atone) undercover and Saheb is now feeding him Faafda Jalebi on these trips
Primeminister of India, Narendra Modi, would not take my question, I was not expecting him to.
Norway has the number one spot on the World Press Freedom Index, India is at 157th, competing with Palestine, Emirates & Cuba.
It is our job to question the powers we cooperate with.
@mahesh_s117@venkinesis The deep seated instinct for self preservation and benefit maximization for self and kin coupled with civilizational memory of brutality visited upon ancestors by goras means that most Indians bend their spines in an almost evolutionary survival reflex.
Sadly still true for youth
WOW welll done @AnmolPanwar_88 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kya aaina dikhaya hai 🪞
Arnab ke show mein jaake Arnab ko usi ki style mein suna diya 🥸
HOW DARE YOU ARNAB GOSWAMI SPREAD FALSE PROPAGANDA ABOUT MY LEADER 🔥🔥🔥
@sandeep_PT From the HM referring to people as termites to now CJI referring to some as Cockroaches, this incremental dehumanization will lead eventually to othering of a segment of people and is a step towards fascism
@mahesh_s117@venkinesis Photo is clearly AI - but brother, you don't know the depths of obsequiousness that can and will be plumbed and what absolute clownery goes down to please those who hold power over Indian subordinates.
Cringe doesn't begin to describe it.
This kind of a statement should directly lead to impeachment of the judge. As responsible citizens, we cannot allow judicial standards and ethics to fall to such pits. The dignity of the chair and institution is at stake here. Leader of Opposition @RahulGandhi should condemn this statement and consider moving an impeachment motion against the Chief Justice. Someone should speak up for our courts!
@mhdksafa Trying to address this logically
1. Implied religion (Lebanon especially) of the children is inconvenient for the "civilized West"
2. Skin colour and ethnicity is not sufficient to induce lactation (refer milk of human kindness)
3. It's complicated

His name was Rajan.
He was a final year engineering student at the Regional Engineering College in Calicut, Kerala. His father, T V Eachara Varier, was a Hindi professor at the Government Arts and Science College in the same city.
On the morning of March 1 1976 the police came to the college campus and took Rajan away.
India was under Emergency. Civil liberties were suspended. Courts had effectively turned away.
His father found out the next day from the college principal.
He went to every police station in the district. No one admitted to having his son.
He met the Home Minister of Kerala, K Karunakaran, directly.
He sent petitions to the Home Secretary of the Government of Kerala three times. Not a single reply or acknowledgement came.
He wrote to the President of India and the Home Minister of the central government, with copies to every Member of Parliament from Kerala.
Nothing.
What Eachara Varier did not know at the time was that his son had been taken to an illegal police interrogation camp at Kakkayam.
He was tortured.
A practice called uruttal was used, where a heavy wooden log is rolled over the body of the victim.
Rajan died from his injuries. His body was disposed of by the police and was never found.
When the Emergency ended in 1977 Eachara Varier filed a habeas corpus petition in the Kerala High Court.
It was the first such petition filed in Kerala after the Emergency.
He did it without legal training, without political backing, without money.
He had spent everything searching for his son.
The court case slowly unravelled the truth.
It forced K Karunakaran to resign as Chief Minister of Kerala in 1978 when the adverse judgment came.
Rajan’s mother became mentally unstable from the grief. She died in 2000 still not knowing where her son was.
Eachara Varier wrote his memoir, Memories of a Father, which won the Kerala Sahitya Akademi Award in 2004.
In its final lines he wrote, “I don’t close the door. Let the rain lash inside and drench me. Let at least my invisible son know that his father never shut the door.”
He died on April 13 2006. He never found his son’s body.
Rajan was picked up from his college campus on a March morning in 1976. He was never seen again.
Repost this. Some stories must not be allowed to disappear.
Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people — and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.
Police Observer for Diamond Harbour, Parmar Smit Parshottamdas, has been caught red-handed.
Despite being provided official accommodation at the IPS Mess in Alipore, Parshottamdas disregarded protocol entirely and chose instead to stay at Room 208 of Sagarika Hotel in Diamond Harbour, where he conducted a private, unscheduled, unrecorded, and entirely unofficial meeting with Gour Sundar Ghosh, BJP's candidate from Magrahat Paschim.
A Police Observer appointed by the Election Commission of India, whose sole mandate is to ensure free and fair elections, was holding secret meetings with a BJP candidate in a hotel room, outside all official channels, in violation of every procedure and instruction the Election Commission itself has laid down.
The BJP-ECI nexus is not a theory. It has now been documented, dated, and located. Room 208, Sagarika Hotel, Diamond Harbour, 20th April 2026.
