The desperation of the cockroaches surprised me.
Even I was ready to give Dharmendra Pradhan a pass.
The man has failed.
Scrutiny is deserved.
But then a question appeared.
Why this desperation?
Why Boston?
Why Germany?
Why now?
Why June 2026?
So, I started digging.
What I found had little to do with a paper leak.
It had everything to do with money.
A lot of money.
Three decisions were sitting on Pradhan's table.
All scheduled for July - Aug 2026.
All capable of reshaping Indian education.
Decision 1.
NCERT.
New textbooks.
Classes 9 to 12.
The new Mathematics curriculum introduces the Sulba Sutras.
A dangerous idea.
Because it tells Indian children something many would rather hide.
Mathematics lived here.
Long before Europe claimed ownership of the story.
The new History curriculum goes further.
The Aryan Invasion Theory.
Out.
The Sindhu-Sarasvati Civilisation.
In.
India's own story.
Returned to India.
Decision 2.
May 15, 2026.
CBSE issues a circular.
3 languages mandatory from Class 9.
At least two must be Indian languages.
Decision 3.
K. Radhakrishnan Committee reforms for NTA.
Decentralised examinations.
Technology-sovereign architecture.
No single point of failure.
No single point of manipulation.
Now ask the real question.
Who loses if all three happen?
Start with academia.
Harvard.
SOAS London.
Columbia.
Chicago.
Departments built around the Aryan Migration framework.
Annual grants at stake.
~ $500 million.
Then foreign universities.
UK.
US.
Australia.
Together earning roughly $3.7 billion annually from Indian students.
Around 1.8 million of them.
Fix India's system.
Build confidence.
Restore self-worth.
And that pipeline starts shrinking.
Then comes the coaching industry.
Manufacture anxiety.
Sell hope.
Repeat.
Worth ₹58,000 crore today.
Projected at ₹1,33,995 crore by 2028.
Built on scarcity.
Built on English-dominated examinations.
Decentralise NTA.
Expand Indian languages.
And the economics begin to wobble.
Allen.
Aakash.
FIITJEE.
BYJU'S.
Resonance.
Drishti IAS.
Thousands of smaller players.
Global investors have poured billions into this ecosystem.
Not for charity.
Not for patriotism.
For returns.
Then comes the NGO ecosystem.
The outrage industry.
The grant circuit.
A narrative that survives only if India remains intellectually dependent.
Teach children their own history.
Accurately.
And the narrative starts suffocating.
Funding follows narratives.
Funding leaves with them too.
Add it together.
Conservative estimate.
Nearly ₹3 lakh crore at risk.
More than $35 billion.
This is a business survival fight.
That is what India was about to dismantle.
That is why the meme factory found fresh energy.
That is why the protest lands on June 6.
Before the academic year begins.
Before the reforms become irreversible.
Pradhan may go.
Perhaps he should.
That is a separate debate.
But the policies are the real battlefield.
Always were.
Most people are still watching the headline.
And missing the war.
Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa on becoming the first Indian to win the Norway Chess tournament - one of the ultimate tests of endurance, intellect and temperament in the world of chess.
To defeat the world’s absolute best on one of chess’s grandest stages is a remarkable feat. But what makes it even more special is the spirit with which Pragg plays. Fearless - Focused - Deeply Indian.
@rpraggnachess, you represent the confidence of a rising, youthful India.
The entire nation is incredibly proud of you, Pragg. 🇮🇳♟️
@hvgoenka I fully agree with what u said and with list of special rules. Some ppl don’t quite know d value of being kind respectful and right.
Every Indian need to b aware that s/he represent India first so any wrong act is badly reflected on our country’s image.
Esha Singh fired a world record score of 43 to clinch gold in the Women’s 25m Pistol event at the ISSF World Cup in Munich.
There are many videos of the winning moment.
I like this one because her eyes are like lasers. Unwavering. Unforgiving. You don’t want to come in her way.
But what struck me most was that she looked less like an athlete and more like a yogi in deep meditation.
You can tell from the way she squeezes the trigger that this sport is ultimately not about the pistol.
It’s about mastering the mind, the breath and the nerves.
And what a pleasure it is to see an Indian sportsperson not merely win on the world stage, but shatter a world record while doing so.
Congratulations, Esha.
Records are made to be broken. Including your own.
Keep pushing the boundaries.
💪🏽🇮🇳

Rahul Gandhi, Swara Bhasker and several left-liberal voices hailed Mohammad Deepak as a hero and backed campaigns for his gym.
Months later, Deepak admits the money collected through the membership drive was spent on personal expenses like EMIs and school fees instead of gym operations and rent.
Now, with his gym facing a crisis, the episode has raised questions about both the support campaign and the use of the collected funds.

@IS_Netwrk29 Nothing will happen next year, is he trying to buy one more season by such statements. He has become a part time cricketer
Although he was a great player but His time is up, he is no longer a player for MI, seriously he should either mentor them or just leave
@bhogleharsha Absolutely. This team needs major clean up. It’s not about winning and losing but it’s all about not playing to one’s potential and putting up a flight. Now if there is no potential why play? #Rohit#Surya#Hardik need to be relived. I am disappointed with Naman too
Well done, Arjun. ❤️
Proud of the way you’ve carried yourself through this season, always believing in your ability, staying patient, working hard quietly, and remaining positive despite having to wait for your opportunity till the very last match.
Cricket tests patience as much as skill, and you handled both beautifully today.
Keep your feet on the ground, and continue being in love with the game like you always have.
Love you always.👏
@RVCJ_FB I fully agree with him. To enjoy the game both bowlers and batsmen need equal opportunity.
On this note, I also want to send out a message to @mipaltan don’t let Hardik go others can go if they want to and if they can’t play under Hardik they should better leave
@hvgoenka I loved d second one but it’s very difficult at times because ur silence is considered as ur weakness. Ofcourse I do my best to ignore such instances
Last one life is short is very meaningful if we don’t live life as God wants us to live then v r not respecting Him
Her name was Shubha Shankaranarayan.
She was 21 years old, a law student in Bengaluru. She was in a relationship with Arun Varma, her 19 year old college junior. Her father did not approve and arranged her engagement to someone else.
On November 30, 2003, Shubha got engaged to B.V. Girish, a 27 year old software engineer. His family celebrated. His future seemed set.
Three days later, Shubha called Girish and suggested they spend some time together before the wedding. She proposed dinner and then a stop near HAL Airport to watch planes take off from the viewpoint on Inner Ring Road. He agreed.
While Girish stood looking at the runway, three men attacked him from behind with a motorcycle shock absorber. Shubha stood nearby and screamed at the attackers to stop, pretending to be shocked.
Girish suffered severe head injuries. He died in hospital the next morning.
His family filed a police complaint. At first, investigators found nothing. Girish had no enemies, and suspicion did not fall on Shubha because the engagement had happened just days earlier.
Then police reviewed the engagement video. Shubha appeared unhappy and disinterested throughout. Her expressions did not match someone who had just gotten engaged.
Investigators dug deeper. They discovered that Shubha had made 73 phone calls and exchanged numerous messages with Arun Varma on the day of the murder.
When confronted with the evidence, she confessed.
The murder had been planned even before the engagement. Shubha wanted to be with Arun Varma, so she, Arun, and two hired men planned to kill Girish.
Girish had been engaged for just three days.
In July 2010, all four were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Karnataka High Court later upheld the verdict. In 2025, the Supreme Court also upheld all four life sentences.
The Supreme Court observed:
"Shubha chose a tragic and unacceptable route to address her personal issues, which led to the loss of a young and innocent life."
He went to watch planes take off with his fiancee.
He never came home.
Repost this. Some stories should never disappear.
Please let go all the oldies of #MI in the next season and stay put with #hardikpandya he is a useful cricketer. You may appoint a different captain if you want like Tilak but don’t lose Hardik as a player
