Today, the Attorney General of India told the Supreme Court that E20 is still an experiment — with results expected only next year.

This is the Union of India's own sworn submission.

Team Bharat began this research with one thesis: that E20, as structured, was never built to benefit Indian farmers. It was built to open a permanent market for American corn, ethanol and DDGS.

We have not found anyone else, anywhere, who traced this specific chain before: the DDGS export contradiction, the GAIL joint venture with a company holding DuPont's conversion patents, the undefined import quota with no reprocessing restriction. Team Bharat connected those dots first.

The evidence for who actually benefits is no longer speculative. Mark Mueller, President of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, called India's $500 billion trade commitment "a win for corn farmers." The US Grains Council said, plainly, that they need more "export homes" for DDGS. Indian sugarcane farmers, meanwhile, are still owed arrears that have tripled in a year, now being pushed toward maize — the one feedstock this very programme made more expensive.

>Forex saved? Not correct — the figure ignores the dollar liability India is now taking on.

>Self-sufficiency? Not correct — we traced a new dependency forming, not less of one.

>Farmers benefit? Not correct — sugarcane farmers remain unpaid, now pushed toward a costlier crop.

>Environment protected? Widely reported that the water and soil cost has not been honestly accounted for either.

We don't know what moved the government to tell the Court this is still an unproven experiment. What we know is that it confirms everything Team Bharat has documented.

None of this reached the public on its own. Heartfelt thanks to @tehseenp brother — your voice carried this further than any of us could alone. Thanks to @factswithdinesh, @nachiket1982, to everyone who asked questions, @ShivrattanDhil1, and filed RTIs. This is your win as much as anyone's.

Team Bharat is asking for course correction, not confrontation — pause the mandate until the results the government itself promised arrive, and restore E5-E10 as a choice.

There used to be a time when mixing an inferior quality product was called adulteration; now it is called blending.

The Indian mind cannot comprehend the depths of thoughts and feelings one would experience while living around such a landscape

[Sarthak Dev @devellix]

Never, and I cannot stress this enough, ever forget.

[Suraj Kumar Talreja @suritalreja]

I am genuinely surprised why more people in India aren’t talking about this openly.

If you want clean drinking water, you have to buy a water purifier and then pay 18% GST on it.

If you want clean air, buy an air purifier again, 18% GST.

If you want 24×7 electricity, don’t rely on the grid buy an inverter.

If you want quality education for your child, forget government schools, you have to go private, where fees run into lakhs.

Government schools are not even a serious option for most middle-class families.

If you want good healthcare, you go to a private hospital and once you step inside, your bank balance starts bleeding. Many families literally take loans to survive medical emergencies.

Now leave all this aside.

Even pure food is hard to get.
Paneer is adulterated.
Dal is artificially coloured.

Street food?

Nobody knows what’s being mixed dirty hands, sweat, sometimes worse. We just hope nothing happens.

Try walking outside:
• Footpaths barely exist.
• Vehicles come from all directions.
• People don’t follow lanes.
• Potholes everywhere.

One wrong step and:
you might get hit by a vehicle, or
you might fall and injure yourself

And who takes responsibility?
No one.

Ask questions and suddenly you’re:
• called deshdrohi
• told to “go to Pakistan”

Why should expectations from my own country be compared with Pakistan?

When India plays cricket, do we compare ourselves with Kenya or Zimbabwe?
No.

We compare ourselves with Australia, England, big teams.

Then why, as a country, shouldn’t we compare ourselves with: China, the USA, Japan, Australia other large economies?

People say “India is Vishwaguru.”

If that were true:
• why are so many millionaires leaving India?
• why are top celebrities and athletes settling abroad?
• why do people with money still choose foreign education, healthcare, and passports?

Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent.

Asking questions is not anti-national.

Expecting clean air, safe roads, honest food, affordable healthcare, and quality education is not a crime.

Patriotism is not blind worship.
Patriotism is demanding better because we believe India deserves better.

If this made you uncomfortable, maybe it needed to be said.

Share it.
Talk about it.
Silence won’t fix anything.

AQI has finally reduced to <100

Thank you Rekha Gupta ji.

@Saurabh_MLAgk @SauravDassss

[Vivek @Mallufideintent]

For Bharatiya Air Quality Weather Administrative System (BAQWAS) to be truly effective, we need One Nation, One Station, to show the AQI for the whole country.

This station should be called the National Air Monitoring Outpost (NAMO) and must be installed on the highest point in India - the peak of Mt. Kanchenjunga. The measurement shown by it will be India's official Air Quality.

All other monitoring stations should be banned.

With this one step, the whole nation, be it Delhi, Gujarat,Arunachal or Kerala will enjoy the same Air Quality.

This will unify the country and purify the air. Two birds with one stone.

If you speak against pollution there are some accounts constantly replying “10 saal tak kyu chup the”

What is this upbringing?

Why can’t we speak now? What is this 10 saal tak kyu chup the? Yesterday I posted about Mumbai pollution, and one guy said, "Kejriwal ke time kahan tha tu?" Mumbai me konsa Kejriwal?

Why aren’t you realising that pollution is an India-wide problem? Huge problem. Your own kids and parents are suffering. It doesn’t matter if someone is waking up right now or tomorrow, we have to wake up everyone out there. EVERYONE. By hook or by crook.

This is not 210. You know it. I know it. You know it that I know. I know it that you know it. We all know it. But we are silent for a reason we know it.

[M. Nageswara Rao IPS (Retired) @MNageswarRaoIPS]

As an MSc in Chemistry, let me explain the issue of carcinogen emissions from the use of ethanol-blended petrol (e.g., #E10 or #E20 fuels).

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol), when oxidised, forms acetaldehyde (ethanal). Conversely, acetaldehyde (ethanal) when reduced, forms ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Note: In chemical nomenclature "-ol" is a suffix for alcohols and "-al" is for aldehydes.

When ethanol is consumed as an alcoholic beverage, it is metabolised in the human body into acetaldehyde, which is then further metabolised into acetate and excreted. However, acetaldehyde is a known toxic byproduct and is classified as a carcinogen. While ethanol itself is not inherently a carcinogen, its consumption initiates a chain reaction that can lead to cancer, particularly with heavy or prolonged consumption.

When ethanol is blended with petrol and burned in an internal combustion engine, the combustion process (oxidation) produces acetaldehyde as a byproduct due to incomplete combustion, as 100% combustion does not occur. The amount of acetaldehyde produced depends on factors such as engine type, combustion efficiency, air-fuel ratio, temperature, and operating conditions.

Thus, acetaldehyde formation is a recognised issue in biofuel combustion. While reports from NITI Aayog, the Petroleum Ministry, and the National Policy on Biofuels primarily focus on savings of more than Rs. one lakh crore, the health hazards posed by acetaldehyde, classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and highlighted by the Centre for Science and Environment, including risks of respiratory issues and cancer from elevated aldehyde emissions in urban areas, have been conspicuously ignored.

I sincerely hope that the government will reconsider the issue in its entirety.

[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

A lot of people ask why so many Indians run abroad the first chance they get? Why some states have temples dedicated to foreign country visas? Why some people are so desperate to get away that they even risk death by drowning or freezing to illegally enter other countries?

Why are Indians so desperate to immigrate?

Because in the countries these people usually move to, they value life. They value people. They value you.

Unfortunately, that particular concept is virtually unheard of in India.

Here, lives are as important as money is to a sacrificial lamb.

Because In India:

The government doesn’t give a damn about you.
The judiciary thinks you don’t even exist.
People, in general, treat others like a piece of crap.
And if you treat someone nicely, chances are they’ll backstab you at the first opportunity.

Most of us have our souls and self-confidence destroyed, respawned, and then destroyed again on a daily basis. We get treated worse than a car in a Rohit Shetty movie.

So why would anyone stay?

In India

A two-bit clerk in an obscure municipal department can make your life miserable.
Any random ticket giver or clerk can abuse you.
A part-time watchman outside a private building treats you like a criminal.
Store workers treat you like a thief.
Everyone treats you like a shirker.

Your life is essentially a never-ending hurdles race that lasts for 70 years, if you make it that far that is.

So why would anyone stay?

In India

You risk your life every single time you step out of the house.
You can die when an illegal concrete slab, which was permitted by a corrupt babu, falls on you.
You can drown in a sewage tunnel because some random bozo has stolen the manhole cover.
You can burn to death in an illegally modified bus that the corrupt RTO has permitted to operate.
You can be run over by a drunken idiot who’s been given a license by that same RTO.
You can be crushed to death in a stampede caused by the incompetence of the police, who can’t handle a crowd.
You can die after consuming poison labelled as medicine because the babu who was supposed to prevent it took a bribe and looked the other way.
You can fall to death from a train because the railway authorities, after taking lakhs of crores in the name of safety, have blown it all away on "other things".

At any point in time, you can get impaled, burned to death, crushed, fall off a cliff, or be killed by a guy with a sword, sometimes all of the above.

Here, life is like the game Prince of Persia, except, unlike in the game, you don’t get three lives, nor can you restart. Once you are dead, you are dead.

So why would anyone stay?

And then comes the worst part.

In India,

Nobody is held accountable.
Nobody faces consequences.
Nobody gets punished.
There’s nobody you can complain to — and where you miraculously can, nobody listens.
People whose incompetence caused your death get promoted.
Some even run important departments that enable them to kill more people.

Every second of your life here is a herculean effort against the system, the process and the people.

However, Hercules had 12 labours in total.

In India, you face 12 labours everyday

So why would anyone stay?

Therefore, when someone actually gets a chance to get out, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they take it with both hands.

P.S.: In the last six months, 22 children died because of fake medicine, 40 people were burned to death in illegally modified buses and 51 people died in stampedes.

Those were 113 easily preventable deaths. Deaths mind you. DEATHS

113 innocent Indian citizens lost their lives.

What happened after that?

How many government officials were arrested? How many were punished? How many were sacked? What were the actions taken? How quickly we forgot everyone?

The answers to these questions will tell you why many people don’t want to stay in India anymore.

[Vivek @Mallufideintent]

AQI is a western construct. India must have its own index -Bharatiya Air Quality Weather Administrative System (BAQWAS).

Under BAQWAS, AQI of 250 will correspond to 1 on BAQWAS and this will be categorised as "Ati Uttam". Similarly AQI of 1000 will coresspond to 2, and this will be categorised as "Param Uttam".

Smoke and its generation has been a part of our ancient rituals since time immemorial. It is Western culture that has now made us look upon it as something undesirable.

BAQWAS will peak during Deepavali and winter and restore the pride we had lost due to this foreign imposed "AQI", which as we all know actually stands for Al Qaeda International.
