indian state has designed its entire education system with a single point agenda of sucking out the joy of life and crushing hopes of the young in order to mass produce loveless and unempathetic adults who could then be turned into subservient custodians of existing social order.

One of the saddest things about Dhurandhar 2 is their appropriation of one of my favorite qawwalis in their propaganda. I discovered it about 5 years ago. Looks like Aditya Dhar too discovered it.

Kanhaiyya yaad hai kuchh bhi hamari. An ode to lord Kanhaiyya written by Jamaluddin Ahmad Khan aka Hilm - a Muslim royal from Hyderabad (Telangana). The most famous version is sung by Hyderabad (Telangana) born Farid Ayaz and his Karachi born brother Abu Muhammad (their father moved from the Nizam's court to Karachi).

A beautiful song of love and devotion that transcends religion and borders. Now appropriated into the soundtrack of a propaganda film. Youtube commenters saying they came here because of Dhurandhar 2.

wake up, brush with fake sensodyne, have bad poha for breakfast, travel to work inhaling high aqi air by private vehicles using costly fuel, eat fake paneer for lunch, drink sewage water, back home avoiding potholes, rash drivers and falling objects, watch photoshoots on news, sleep, pay taxes.

I went to the AI Impact Summit as a policy researcher. I came back overwhelmed. Here's what that felt like.

If you have a vote in Malviya Nagar, please vote for @Memeghnad!

[The DeshBhakt 🇮🇳 @TheDeshBhakt]

He's arguably India's 1st Content Creator who's on the ballot. @Memeghnad successfully filed his papers for #DelhiElection2025 & is now contesting from Malviya Nagar as an INDEPENDENT.
But why go through all this effort?? That too against seasoned politicians like AAP's Somnath Bharti & BJP's
Satish Upadhyay??
In this edition of Deshbhakt Samvaad - Meghnad explains his motives behind contesting & why our democracy could do with more independent voices.

My entire Twitter feed is Elon Musk commenting "This is crazy" and quote tweeting something that a fourth-grader should be able to tell is made up.

In India, you really got to be lucky. Lucky that you were not standing under the largest billboard or driving over a rickety railway bridge or sitting inside a cab outside the capital airport or walking on the road in the middle of the night. It's so shameful and sad.
