Don’t react to every post that triggers you. Some people post unreasonable or outrageous things simply to provoke a reaction.
Pause. Judge before you react. Sometimes the smartest response is silence.
Ignore and win.
Ma'am,
Pls don't get carried away emotionally.
My questions is
Why was police allowing people with criminal antecedents roam around Delhi, especially in lutyen's delhi, where who is who of the country resides & that too when protest is on & chances of danga is high, isn't it a failure on the part of police & intelligence agencies.
Any regular person going to or roaming around the protest site is frisked so how come no one could trace them then, that this is released in news now?

These are not just students standing there, they are the future of our country. Tomorrow, they may wear the uniform of officers, serve the nation. Respect their voices, because the hands holding books today will carry India’s responsibility tomorrow, Jai Hind 🇮🇳💔
And there are some jokers who have doubts of students being not there in the protest.
These are like my daughters. How can police manhandle such kids. I mean they are blind or what ?
Oh my gosh, Harteerath… They called you Khalistani three weeks before this and will keep doing so even after. Instead of trying to appease everyone or playing defense for outsiders,
why not focus on helping the poor families of Punjab, the very people who have stood and will continue to stand for you, me, and us?
An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:
My dear young friends,
I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.
This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results — these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.
I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM — and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.
So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken — papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed — the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.
To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline — it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.
And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt — by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.
To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.
With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the students’ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.
And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.
A film about slain Sikh activist Jaswant Singh Khalra is being screened across India after its removal from a streaming platform.
Khalra exposed killings and secret cremations by Indian security forces during the Punjab insurgency.
Dear Tanya,
During the 1984 riots, the family of this ‘Sikh hater’ sheltered Sikh neighbours in our home in Faridabad, knowing fully well that the mob could have attacked us as well.
For those three days, my father sat in the front room with his loaded pistol to ensure safety of our terrified neighbours. I remain immensely proud of him.
I only hope those dark days never return to Punjab. The country has paid a huge price to bring back peace.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

On the debate sparked by ‘Satluj’, I see many people here asking “why Hindus have never managed to align themselves politically in Punjab?!”.
As a Punjabi Hindu I feel this is because we have never managed to see Sikhs as separate from us. We have never really understood why we have been targeted and killed by Khalistanis.
Disputes over state boundaries, river water sharing, language…were these kind of petty reasons enough to tear the blood bond that Punjabi Hindus and Sikhs shared for centuries and start a lame separatist movement?! Was it not obvious that the country’s only martial community was being weaponised against itself by vested interests?!
Is it fair to blame all Hindus for the heinous crimes of 1984 for which only one political party was responsible?!
Is it fair to bury the thousands of stories of violence and rape by Khalistanis before 1984?!
To me, the widening rift between Hindus and Sikhs is a source of personal anguish.
A Sikh brother once said to me, “Hindus and Sikhs are like a finger and its nail: They are inseparable.”
Praying that all Punjabis can see past their anger, something which they are prone to, to find love and brotherhood again, which they are known for.
🙏🏽🤍
