The way Ambedkar Jayanti is becoming a bigger event with each passing year, I think, in the coming years, it'll become the biggest festival in India, much like Chinese New Year for China or Thanksgiving for the US.
It could turn into a seven-day festival, with schools and offices organizing events to commemorate it each day. Indian migrant workers might start returning from abroad to celebrate it. We might even begin inviting foreign heads of state to attend, much like on Republic Day. The state currency could feature Ambedkar, and every year there could be a new tallest statue of Ambedkar, each one taller than the last.
If a dalit neighbour has a personal dispute with you, all it takes is a complaint alleging that you used a caste-based slur to fix you.
There is no requirement for a preliminary inquiry. The police can register the case and arrest you immediately, after which you are produced before a court and only then allowed to apply for bail.
Even if there is no evidence and the case eventually collapses, the damage is already done. You may be arrested from your home, face social stigma, cause severe trauma to your family, risk job loss, spend days in custody, pay legal fees, and deal with endless procedural hardships, sometimes even bail becomes uncertain, depending on the court’s discretion (read bribe).
In such situations, acquittal does not undo the punishment. The punishment lies in the process itself. A man in UP stayed more than two decades in jail for a false compliant.
This is the power the Atrocities Act carries in its present form. A law that offers no effective safeguards against misuse is an atrocity itself against the innocent. This is not an ideological argument, it is simple logic. Yet no one is willing to address it openly, because in a democracy, questioning such laws is politically dangerous.
And it could have ended there. But now, a miniature version of the same approach has entered universities through the UGC equity regulations, extending the same logic into academic spaces.
US is alienating the world. China is not the alternative most nations want, and Japan is constrained by an ageing population
So who becomes the next global power?
A historic opportunity stands before us, yet we remain trapped in corruption, sycophancy, and appeasement politics
Even if you take away the religious and the cultural aspect of it, the Mahabharata is objectively the greatest epic ever composed. Nowhere else will you find that level of psychological nuance and moral ambiguity.
Anybody who says it's "shitty" is himself full of shit.
Glad to see Laalu alive to see his family getting decimated at the polls.
Thousands of 90s kids who had to live away from their parents in boarding schools just to avoid getting kidnapped, thousands who had to forfeit their ancestral land as a bribe to get a clerical job, millions who studied hard under a lantern or a petromax to somehow escape the jungle raj. All of them, across the world, doing well, now looking at their phone screens and the numbers, and smiling. This is victory.
Terrorism has only one religion. Yes, terrorism killed Muslims, but it was not their intent. Muslims have shed blood for Pakistan, which they continue to do.
Unless Muslims denounce Islamic terrorism by naming it and stop bullshitting the phrase ‘sabhi ka khoon’ and ‘has no religion’, no sane person will believe anything that you are writing.
Still, Muslims are unable to write ‘we denounce Islamic terrorism’. The day you start writing and believing in that, you won’t be called names.
Ricin is one of the deadliest poisons known. Tasteless, odourless, you wouldn’t even realise if it was mixed into your food or water.
Meet Dr. Ahmed Mohiuddin Syed, an MBBS from China. Using his medical knowledge, he had been extracting ricin from castor seeds for a long time to carry out what would have been one of the biggest mass poisonings in the world by mixing it in water and likely temple prasad in Delhi, Ahmedabad, and Lucknow.
He, along with two others, Mohd. Suhel and Azad, was arrested by the Gujarat ATS. They were in contact with ISIS handlers through Telegram. They were also in contact with Pakistani handlers who were dropping weapons for them through drones.
Another reminder that we don’t thank our anti-terror agencies enough. Their job is like that of a goalkeeper: you are noticed not for how many goals you save, but only for the ones you fail to stop. We will never know how many terror plots our agencies have foiled in the last decade. It must be many. There are so many radicals who want to harm us all the time, and yet we’ve seen mostly peace in civilian areas over the past decade. Hats off, and gratitude.
Mid-day meals are being served to children on raddi-newspaper and in filthy conditions in Sheopur, MP.
Just search “mid-day meal scam” on Google and you’ll find hundreds of cases across the country. Money meant to feed children is being looted openly. There is no conscience, no integrity, no basic humanity left in the system.
Whatever money is allotted to the mid-day meal scheme, I'm sure 90% is embezzled by everyone, top to bottom. Some places don’t serve the food, some don't serve enough food. Some serve rotten, low-grade garbage in the name of meals. Fake student lists are made so that extra grain and funds can be stolen. Fake bills. Fake procurement. Theft of rations. Everything is for sale.
Provoking GenZ is a very lazy way to come to power
Since they can't come to power through direct elections, they want Indian Youth to come to street like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal
Maybe torch 2-3 ministers house and parade Modi's Kachha Baniyan like they did with Hasina
And at the end Pappu can become an "Interim PM" like Yunus, ban elections in name of stability and take dictation from Junior Soros
Imagine an opposition leader doing a live presentation & showing faces of-
> people died from potholes
> kids died from fake medicine
> people died in stampedes
> people died in bridge collapses
This is the kind of opposition we need - not one that’s obsessed with caste.
Luckiest union cabinet minister ever.
- No responsibility, no accountability. Nobody even knows you exist.
- Some blame Diwali for pollution, others blame farmers.
- Just retweet Modi's posts all day.
- Win.
