I feel for this student. He made a mistake, but he didn’t blame anyone else for it. Even if self inflicted, death is too harsh a penalty for his mistake. He deserves grace, more so because he’s no more.
On the other hand, it’s hard to justify the behaviour of the parents.
Whether instigated by political vultures or greedy lawyers, his parents turned their personal tragedy into a weapon, aimed straight at a professor who had only done his duty. Had this issue not been politicized, this video would not have been the last memory of their son.
I hope they understand that victimhood, real or perceived, is not a license to victimize others.
As for the professor, his personal or professsional past didn’t save him. A CCTV footage did. Had the CCTV malfunctioned on that fateful day, he might have been legally lynched.
This case raises several serious questions, which I dare not ask, lest it offend some group or the other. I hope that one day, our society will grow a collective spine and a mature brain , one that chooses unpleasant truths over pleasant lies.
Until then, I pray that this is the last tragedy in our campuses.
May Sahil’s soul rest in peace.
Om Shanti.
This is so huge. Today we entered the era of agents. First Microsoft, now much more so Anthropic. Today marks a new step in the direction of AGI. Your move, @OpenAI . Anthropic is in the lead.
The internet is heavily polarised nowadays, liking a post doesn't mean endorsing it, it could be a stance where one is wanting his connections to check it out and somehow infer something out of it.
Why can't the algo be made of not promoting the content that i liked.

@AI_Feb21 We see a recent trend of forming different theme investing, eg. Railways, Renewables,Defence, Water, Fertilizer and now Agro-chemicals. Should we look up to such forming themes or is it just a narration that is forming in the market to inflate valuations of companies.
The BRS folks will blame the Congress, the Congress will blame BRS for the last decade of extreme policing. Between both political parties, nobody wants to actually do policing reforms. The citizenry has to continue to deal with the abuse of power by @TelanganaCOPs
Anyone who breached the @TelanganaCOPs can get access to entire 360 degree profile of anyone in Telangana. The IT Department of Telangana which illegally created these Aadhaar based profiles using Samagraha Kutumba Survey has shared all data to the police.
The single most important factor fuelling India's consumption story is not purchasing-power or mobile penetration, It's not even e-commerce. It's a cultural one - Growth in nuclear families. This cultural change will cause a tectonic shift in the social fabric of our country. 👇

Up until now, Hearing stories and experiences makes me realise that all these play defining things in one's life, that makes their life happy or go haywire.
Met PK Sharma in a Delhi-Meerut passenger train for a news report. For 40 years, this Meerut resident has been getting up at 4.30 am to join his office in Delhi, and reaching home by 9.30 pm. Six days in a week.
In most families, a generation has toiled this way to push the financial status up, uncomplainingly, living for the monthly salary, with no room for risks or adventure. Like treading a straight line without venturing sideways at all.
Their younger generation must understand such great sacrifices, make better use of their time and brain and not waste their privilege seeking cheap entertainment
