Neither Ambedkar nor Nehru approached the Buddha merely as the founder of a religion but they encountered him essentially as a philosopher of human freedom. thanks @ttindia

I’d recommend this piece by Foucault. He breaks away from the usual image of the intellectual who is the voice of all, and proposes the ‘specific intellectual’, who intervenes from within a specific institution or profession. Most interesting to me, the idea that one aspect of++

What is the rational behind the arbitrary decision of blocking the commuters coming from Mithapur aree at the GPO Flyover circle? If somebody wants to go to Gandhi Maidan, or Bandar Bagicha, or Exhibition road, they are forced to take round of R Block Flyover.
Muslim women are entitled to rights given to them by the constitution. Cultural relativism cannot undermine these rights. Muslim clergy should not try to restrict their freedoms.
Whether the hijab is essential to Islam or not is for religious scholars to decide.
From a socio-political standpoint, we stand firmly for women’s bodily autonomy and agency.
Every woman, irrespective of caste, class or religion, is entitled to wear what she chooses — hijab, ghoonghat or anything else.

SADDENED: Having covered Parliament since the early 1990s, I am deeply disappointed to see these images of a near-fracas between ruling party and opposition MPs in the Parliament precincts.
This is what happens when:
1.Politics becomes hyper-polarised and hyper-partisan.
2.Central Hall — once a wonderful space for genuine inter-party conversation — is shut down. A crazy Covid-era decision that should be revoked ASAP.
3.The ruling party treats Parliament as a notice board, while the Opposition treats the House as its only forum to vent.
4.MPs cross from one side to the other with total impunity, simply to remain on the right side of power.
5.Too few MPs are willing to do the hard grind of parliamentary work.
6.Senior MPs and ministers fail to lead by example. Many of them don’t even come to the House as often as they should.
7. Those in the Chair, whose first duty should be to uphold the dignity and neutrality of the House, often fail to show even a modicum of impartiality.
Parliament is not just about shouting across the aisle. It is also about talking across it.
How one misses the likes of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Somnath Chatterjee and Jaipal Reddy — stellar parliamentarians who relished the cut and thrust of debate, but also understood that political opponents need not be personal enemies.
We are losing something far more valuable than parliamentary decorum: the culture of Parliament itself. VERY VERY TROUBLING in the 80th year of Independence. 🙏
When your Constitution structurally subordinates Parliament to the executive, because your founders thought that parliamentary opposition is a waste of time. 👇🏼

बांकीपुर जैसी सीट से प्रशांत किशोर का जितना बहुत मायने रखता है . बीजेपी के राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष की सीट पर बीजेपी की हार के भी कई संकेत हैं .
बिहार की सबसे बड़ी विपक्षी पार्टी RJD का तीसरे नंबर खिसकना उनके लिए खतरे की घंटी है
बिहार विधानसभा चुनाव में जनसुराज की बहुत बुरी हार के बाद प्रशांत किशोर ने शानदार कम बैक किया है .
बधाई और शुभकामनाएं
It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better educational system, and their parents supported them.
I truly appreciate the stand they have taken, showing dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard n make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go abt it, n the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.
This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. It’s a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated.
Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.

आजम खान की जौहर यूनिवर्सिटी पर अब बुलडोजर चलेगा.
प्रशासन का कहना है कि रामपुर में बनी इस यूनिवर्सिटी में कुल 40 भवन हैं, जिसमें से 38 का नक्शा पास नहीं हुआ था.
इसलिए 38 भवनों पर अगले 15 दिन में बुलडोजर चलेगा.
