A lot of the times, social media plays an important role in governance and solving issues of the people.

So when I came across this request from my little niece that her private school needs fans this summer, her wish had to be fulfilled!

[The Assam Tribune @assamtribuneoff]

The Assam Tribune is NOT FOR SALE

Quite remarkable, really, how a single unverified Facebook post managed to become “breaking news” for so many people and media portals overnight.

Since May 24, claims about The Assam Tribune allegedly being sold to Gautam Adani for Rs 420 crores have been circulating widely, all stemming from one Facebook post by Gyanen Chakraborty. From there, the rumour was amplified by prominent personalities and even media outlets, many of whom apparently felt verification was an unnecessary formality.

No official confirmation. No credible source. No due diligence. Just pure confidence and a share button.

It took 88 years to build the trust and legacy of The Assam Tribune — from Radha Govinda Baruah to the current generation, the family has worked tirelessly for the people of the region, often at the cost of their own personal lives, to uphold the values and credibility of this institution.

For nearly nine decades, The Assam Tribune has remained committed to preserving the trust of its readers, and it will continue to do so in the years ahead.

In an era where everyone claims to value journalism and fact-checking, it’s fascinating to see how quickly baseless speculation can be repackaged as “news” simply because it trends online.

Maybe next time, before turning rumours into headlines and WhatsApp University into a newsroom, try verifying facts first. It might sound old-fashioned, but that’s usually how credible journalism works.

P.S. — Strict legal action will be initiated against anyone involved in creating, spreading, or amplifying such baseless and defamatory allegations.

The love, trust and blessings of the people have humbled me beyond words. Today’s result is a reflection of that faith and the hopes we share for Jagiroad.

My heartfelt gratitude to every voter, every family and every well-wisher for standing with me. This victory belongs to all of you.

Jagiroad ❤️
Thank you everyone 🙏

Had a traditional Assamese Thali, which mirrors Chinese food culture almost exactly — 🍚rice at the center, variety over portions, nothing overdone.🥢

This is what a healthy meal looks like. 🌿

Sir, you suggest he does not know Chemistry. The data suggests otherwise.

Dr. Ranganathan was part of research teams that studied the molecular mechanisms by which the malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) invades human red blood cells. His work helped identify key protein-protein interactions & host factors (such as Cyclophilin B complexes) that the parasite exploits during the invasion process.

Also, Sir, the Tuberculosis (TB) is the moriarty of diseases in India (we all know it). At JNU, Dr. Anand Ranganathan’s lab at the Special Centre for Molecular Medicine focuses on Pathogen Biology, with a major emphasis on tuberculosis & malaria. FYI, his group works on how Mycobacterium tuberculosis interacts with the host & has developed novel directed evolution techniques (including codon-shuffling) to create new molecules & peptides that can interfere with bacterial virulence and survival.

Hopefully, enough chemistry, Sir!

[Mriganka Borah @jackdripper91]

It is ironic that humanities graduates are questioning the expertise of a distinguished scientist like Anand Ranganathan even going so far as to lecture him on chemistry. 😂😂😂😂

[Anubhav Singh @lucifer_damned]

Ranganathan is an expert on everything except Chemistry in which he supposedly has a degree.

@FightApsc Attacking Asomiya Pratidin should not be equated to an attack on the freedom of the press. If journalism is defined by taking money to suppress or manipulate news, then I don't know. Ebar Nitumoni bula dalal tur property sauk. Kor pora eibur korise sobei jane.

[Mriganka Borah @jackdripper91]

@FightApsc I request that your organization distance itself from Asomiya Pratidin and dalal Nitumoni Saikia. Their reporting is biased and stems from a personal grievance regarding a denied Rajya Sabha ticket. They are spreading propaganda & certainly not journalism.

[Mriganka Borah @jackdripper91]

There is no real plan here. Just vague ideas and overcomplicated language. Yet our newspaper gives her space in its weekly column for this kind of garbage & meaningless jargon. This is real tragedy.

[Nirupama Menon Rao 🇮🇳 @NMenonRao]

There is a certain genre of writing that substitutes accusation for argument. It begins by assigning motive, then arranges facts,real, distorted, or imagined, to fit that conclusion. The recent commentary on my views on India-Pakistan relations follows that familiar script.

Let me state the essentials clearly. To argue that India must combine deterrence with engagement is NOT to diminish the reality of terrorism, nor to excuse it. It is to recognise how serious nations manage adversaries. India has, across governments and decades, done precisely this, responding firmly to terror while retaining channels of communication where necessary to prevent escalation and miscalculation. This is not sentimentality. It is statecraft.

The suggestion that engagement grants “impunity” rests on a false binary, that one must either talk or act. In practice, states do both. To collapse that complexity into a moral accusation may make for forceful prose, but it does not make for sound policy.

The caricature of a women’s caucus is equally misplaced. It is not proposed as a substitute for national policy, nor as a solution to entrenched conflict. It is a modest Track II initiative, one of many possible avenues, to widen dialogue, reduce hostility, and explore areas where cooperation may still be possible. Such efforts do not require approval from those who see every form of engagement as capitulation.

Invoking the suffering of victims of terrorism to argue against any form of dialogue is particularly troubling. Their loss demands seriousness, not rhetorical deployment. Accountability is not strengthened by narrowing the space for thought.

The claim that an idea is discredited because it is welcomed by a Pakistani voice is also a curious standard. If the merit of an argument is to be judged by who agrees with it, then independent judgment itself is surrendered. Ideas must stand or fall on their own logic.

Beyond the rhetoric lies a more fundamental question: what is India’s end game with Pakistan?

If it is to reduce Pakistan to rubble, that is fantasy dressed up as toughness. It is not going to happen, and any attempt to move in that direction would risk catastrophe for the entire region, not least for India. Nuclear geography is a stern schoolmaster. It does not indulge chest-thumping.

The real end game has to be containment, deterrence, internal strengthening, and selective engagement.

In plain words:
India’s objective should be to make Pakistan’s use of terror too costly to sustain, while preventing the relationship from sliding into permanent uncontrolled escalation. That means four things.

First, raise the cost of terrorism. Through intelligence, border management, diplomatic isolation where warranted, calibrated military response when necessary, and relentless exposure of the infrastructure of proxy violence. No illusions there.

Second, deny Pakistan veto power over India’s future. We should not let our growth, our diplomacy, our regional ambitions, or our internal confidence be held hostage by a single hostile neighbour. The greatest strategic answer to Pakistan is a stronger, more cohesive, more prosperous India.

Third, manage the conflict, not romanticise it. There will be no grand reconciliation in the near term. But neither can every interaction be reduced to rage. Ceasefire mechanisms, back channels, water safeguards, crisis hotlines, and limited functional engagement are not signs of softness. They are instruments of control.

Fourth, keep open the possibility of a different future without betting on it. That is where dialogue belongs. Not as wishful thinking, not as “aman ki asha” balloon releases, but as disciplined statecraft. You talk not because you trust, but because you must understand, signal, warn, probe, and occasionally de-escalate.

So the end game is not rubble.
It is a Pakistan that is deterred, constrained, denied easy success, and unable to derail India’s future.

Fury is a mood. It is not a policy.

Intentionally misleading images are now being circulated as evidence of Pakistani strikes at military facilities in Amritsar, Punjab, India - verification confirms no such "destruction" is visible at the alleged targets, below are some images correcting this disinformation

@manamuntu 😂😂😂

[Mriganka Borah @jackdripper91]

@manamuntu Don't expect hard stance from MEA. Look at the commentary from our retired Foreign Service babus in TV debates. They lack the courage to name USA as the architect of chaos in Bangladesh. Instead they blame Pakis even though Pakis lacks capacity to orchestrate such events.

@bidrohi24 This is why experienced politicians are necessary to run a country. If you allow immature & hyper emotional students to lead, they will eventually destroy the nation.
