We live in an India where:
Birthday of Prophet Muhammad is a national holiday.
Birthday of Jesus Christ is a national Holiday.
Birthday of Gandhi is a national holiday.
But Birthday of Shri Rāma is NOT a national holiday.
Why was this temple kept out of the ambit of the Karnataka Religious Structures (Protection) Act, 2021, especially if it is decades old?
“It is on BBMP land, therefore BBMP can remove it.” Fine. Does the same rule apply to ALL places of worship on BBMP land? It should, right?
Great to see Praveen Shetty ji’s faction speaking up for our temples, while the other “BIG” faction may be busy shopping for luxurious watches 👀
I have a question.
Why are there no SC/ST and OBC reservations in Aligarh Muslim University?
AMU is a public, centrally funded university. It is funded by taxes paid by public.
So why are Dalit leaders like Ramdas Athawale, Mayawati, Chandrashekhar Azad and Chirag Paswan silent on this?
Why are their lips sealed when it comes to AMU?
Chandrashekhar Azad's mother died while begging on the streets of Shahjahanpur because some Congress members had branded her a traitor's mother. Some people in Shahjahanpur even claim that Nehru conspired to have Azad shot.
An Indian, Sobha Singh (father of the famous writer Khushwant Singh), appeared as an eyewitness against Bhagat Singh in a British court, a testimony that led to Bhagat Singh's execution. Later, the British honored Sobha Singh with the title of 'Sir'; he acquired vast tracts of land in Delhi in his name.
Kunj Bihari Thapar—grandfather of Karan Thapar and Romila Thapar—raised ₹1.75 lakh after his retirement for Michael O'Dwyer, the mastermind behind the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He was honored with the title of 'Diwan Bahadur' and, in recognition of his loyalty, was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1920.
Chimanlal Harilal Setalvad was the great-grandfather of civil rights activist and journalist Teesta Setalvad. A barrister, he served on the Hunter Commission, which gave a clean chit to Michael O'Dwyer regarding the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
If there are 10,000 stories of bravery, there are just as many stories of betrayal.
🚨 This was the most unproductive Monsoon Session of Lok Sabha in 10 years.
With nearly NO work done & an abysmal 19% productivity rate, this session’s washout has cost the taxpayer ₹200 crore.
Who do you blame for washout?
Ruchika Singh abused Modi ji and was forgiven.
Udhayanidhi Stalin made remarks about Vijay and Trisha and was arrested.
The lesson?
Modi is a “dictator”
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are fighting in a tribunal for 4 TMC of Kaveri water today. TN wants 40, KA says drought..
But do you know how much water India sends to Pakistan each year, due to Nehru's IWT from 1960?
4,900 to 6,400 TMC!!
And our states fight bitterly for 4 TMC 🤔
@formularacers_@ErikvHaren Great drivers help build a great machinery, like LH did at Mercedes and now at Ferrari.
A drivers role in F1 today, is not limited to just driving the car around !!
Go anywhere in the world, but when your parents need you, be there for them. No achievement is greater than that. ❤️
#Annamalai#WeTheLeader@annamalai_k
ANNAMALAI MAY HAVE FAILED TO WIN THE BJP A SEAT IN 2024, BUT HIS GREATEST SUCCESS MIGHT YET BE ORGANISATIONAL.
What is the message that the BJP can glean from the Annamalai saga.
1. Don't Trade Long-term Ideological Space For Short-term Electoral Gain:
The BJP has spent a decade painstakingly creating a distinct nationalist political space in Tamil Nadu. Its vote share has risen from near irrelevance in state politics. Yet, in 2026, it traded its USP for an alliance with the AIADMK, putting immediate electoral gains above ideological purity. The Assembly election results prove that Annamalai was right in cautioning that voters would punish the BJP for yoking itself to a political culture of factionalism and corruption that serves no public interest. The first lesson for the BJP from Annamalai's politics is that growth cannot come from inheriting someone else's social base.
2. Sanatana: A Bridge, Not A Boundary:
Annamalai's entry into the BJP coincided with the party’s more assertive defence of Sanatana Dharma. In Tamil Nadu, sections of Dravidian politics had demonised any attempt at celebrating the grandeur of Hindu civilisation. The genius of Annamalai is that he recognised that the BJP's challenge goes beyond civilisational reclamation. Annamalai was successful in avoiding making BJP appear culturally exclusive. The emergence of a class of new Tamil voters, as demonstrated by the Assembly poll result in 2026, vindicates Annamalai. These new voters appear receptive to a broad, aspirational message that may yet be rooted in traditional ideological camps.
3. Tamil Nadu Needs A Son Of The Soil With A Youth Connect:
Tamil Nadu's electorate increasingly rewards leaders who embody local aspirations. Annamalai's appeal is that he is a first-generation political leader, a former IPS officer, and a relatively young face. The BJP in the future will require being led by a locally rooted leadership capable of connecting with aspirational young voters, entrepreneurs, professionals, and first-time electors.
4. Ideological Seeding Precedes Electoral Harvest:
The BJP is up against the same challenge it poses to other parties at the national level and in other states. Tamil Nadu's politics has long been shaped by an ideology: Dravidianism. The roots of this ideology run deep and cannot be weeded out in a single election cycle. Annamalai showed the BJP that it will need to put in the hard yards to sow its own ideology. Annamalai achieved some success through yatra politics, grassroots outreach, and sustained, almost face-to-face messaging. The current crop of the BJP’s top Tamil Nadu officials lacks that staying power.
5. Build Cadre Before Chasing The Chair:
Which brings us to the last point. The BJP's strongest state-level successes, from Gujarat, Odisha, Tripura, Haryana, and Assam, were preceded by years of organisational expansion. Annamalai may have failed to win the BJP a seat in 2024, but his greatest success might yet be organisational. Under him, the BJP appeared energised, with new blood flocking to it, and that too with a sense of purpose. As the axiom goes, purpose is the lifeblood of all parties, the single greatest ingredient for future victories. What is the BJP's purpose in Tamil Nadu? If BJP can answer that question with conviction in a post-Annamalai future, it will have won half the battle.
@ThamizhTharmar This guy also has 4 pending criminal cases against him. Highest amongst all the candidates enlisted at Royapuram.
https://t.co/DRf2ItDxAj
Out of TVK’s 233 candidates:
🚩 115 jumped from other parties
🚩 92 have criminal records
🚩 40 face SERIOUS charges like attempt to murder & assault.
Is this the "Change" TVKians voted for? Swapping old politicians with new criminals is NOT an alternative!
++ This guy has 4 criminal cases lodged against him.
https://t.co/DRf2ItDxAj
Yet the TN people thinks they voted for a change !
#tnassemblyelections#TVK
Crazy how people vote without even checking the candidates background.
https://t.co/QLYwM6vXK8 - provides all information from education background to criminal cases and assets declared
The GenZ needs to step out of IG delulu bubble and see the real world for what it is.

How Jesus went from a local Judean carpenter crucified as a criminal by an imperial state to the most controversial God
How Allah went from a local Bedouin desert deity worshipped by warring caravan looter tribes to the most controversial God
I doubt whether these historians will adopt this same disrespecting tones for the other religions
Calling out ‘superstar culture’ while benefiting from it is peak irony. Superstars bring sponsors. Sponsors bring the money that pays these salaries.
Without that ecosystem, would Surya even choose cricket as a career?
Maybe stop being Gambhir’s puppet and think.

WE MUSTN'T FORGET: Giridhar Gamang became Odisha CM in Feb 1999 but did not resign as MP.
— In April, Sonia Gandhi ordered him to vote against PM #Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s NDA in a no confidence motion 🤯
A sitting CM voted in Parliament to TOPPLE an elected govt by ONE vote (269–270). And Congress dares preach morality today?
HISTORY REMEMBERS THIS BETRAYAL. Curse? Congress has never had a CM in Odisha for the past 25 years.
Next time a Chamcha talks about MORALITY, SLAP this on his face👏🏼
