Passport lets you travel from India.
Voter ID lets you vote in India.
PAN lets you pay taxes in India.
Aadhaar lets you reside in India.
You can have all four.
You can live here, travel, pay taxes and even vote.
But you still can't prove that you're a citizen of India.
What da?
Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.
“Jagannath Shankar Sheth, a proud Marathi, donated hundreds of acres of his personal land for Mumbai’s development”
As did Parsis, Jews, and Jains. Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy alone did £230,000 and funded over 120 charities…I won’t even do the inflation maths here, you know the number is staggering.
As for “modern Bombay,” how exactly do you even define the term? Modern in what sense? Wealth? Culture? Aspiration? Because if so…
Bombay modernized when a Jew from Goa turned a godforsaken island with nothing but mangroves, mosquitoes, and fisherfolk hovels into a grand Bombay Castle.
Bombay modernized when a Parsi merchant decided to give it its first modern civilian hospital, its first medical school, its first art school, and its first and only physical link to the rest of the country with Mahim Causeway.
Bombay modernized when an Englishman glued together tiny disparate islands into the monolith you recognize today with a Reclamation program that lasted long after he was dead.
Bombay modernized when a Baghdadi Jew built its first wet docks that would serve as the entrepôt for all the wealth that poured into it from both hemispheres in the late 19th century.
Bombay modernized when a Jain from Gujarat turned it into the economic powerhouse that it continues to be with Asia’s first stock market.
And Bombay modernized when a Parsi became the first to start trade with China more than half a century before Jagannath Shankar Sheth was even born.
The list could go on with Muslims and Marwaris but you get the drift.
Yes, Shankar Sheth’s contribution to Bombay is immense…top tier even. But to single him out as the “Maker of Modern Bombay” is just you acting out your personal chauvinism. Ideally one shouldn’t assign such titles to single communities but if you must, for every Marathi name you list, others could in a heartbeat list 4 non-Marathi names in response. The idiotic game could go on forever.
If you have the time.
I sincerely urge MNS workers to remove encroachments when one particular community encroaches the public road and footpath for offering prayers, and I strongly want this Maharashtra Rakshak to use such language with them.
I will vote for MNS forever
A sensible person doesn’t make a mountain out of a molehill; tries to solve problem internally instead of making it a media circus for some social media traction & publicity
A sensible person doesn’t rest on his ancestral achievements, doesn’t have such a huge EGO that he doesn’t realise that it’s not him, but his ancestors who made the building possible
In just the first few days as Maharashtra FDA Commissioner, IAS Tukaram Mundhe has shown what decisive administration looks like:
• 53 raids across Maharashtra
• 34 illegal gutkha/pan masala locations busted
• 33 arrests made
• 27 establishments sealed
• 25 FIRs registered
• 5 vehicles seized
• ₹20.57 lakh worth of banned tobacco products seized
• ₹28.7 lakh worth of adulterated food seized
Now some food vendors are planning a strike to put pressure on the government.
Their demand seems to be “Let us sell unsafe and adulterated food, and don’t take action against us.”
Who is Prasad Vedpathak?
A Dhruv Rathee admirer, a beef enthusiast, and struggling influencer who saw no need to confront the jihadist ideology behind the Pahalgam massacre but found “Jain Jihad” in a harmless tradition rooted in ahimsa.
His latest controversy wasn’t about a white pathway; it was an attempt to pit Hindus against Jains and manufacture outrage for clicks, relevance, and engagement.

A community that's hardcore non-violent painted a white strip since they walk barefoot to their praying site.
White.
A universal colour of non-violence. A colour that screams no confrontation. A colour of surrender.
And what does a dehati chauvinist do? Weaponise it for views.
Leave the Jains alone dude. They're harmless. At max all they've done is paint a strip in a CHS. Cut them some slack.
For the people who'll do whataboutery with me:
1. I am a Gujju surrounded by Jains (I am not a Jain). And I'm a strong proponent of meat eating. As long as I'm not eating in a Jain's home, none of their business to tell me what I can cook and what not.
2. I was the one who coined Kabootar Jihad. Pigeons are net net a public health disaster. They need to go. Science wins over religion here. Jains are in the wrong.
3. Jains are super easy to pick on. Everyone knows at max they'll go and lobby the MLA or MP. They won't throw stones or riot. Or worse, cut your throat. Find a better target to show you're a bully.
Leave them the fuck alone. Language idiots somehow forget what Dharam really is. Live and let live. They're not a danger. They're your allies. Don't push them in a corner.
SRK posted a long paragraph about Alpha but didn’t post a single word about Dhurandhar because Dhurandhar broke the records of both Jawan and Pathaan. I’ve never seen such a jealous guy as him🤣
Comittee approved then it was painted but this FootagePathak guy says why didn't you ask all 33 flat owners.
So what if 1 out of 33 owner next time say no to other festival celebration in common space.
Will rest 32 people agree ?
And about slaughter, even the Jain couple said if comittee gives you permission, go ahead and do, we won't stop you & still he is like no no me force nai karta ap bhi mat karo.
Jains - the real minority who never beg for special treatment, never play the victim card, never create trouble for anyone, contribute immensely to the economy, generate jobs, and live peacefully.
If they seem like a problem to you, perhaps the problem lies with you.
This habitual offender of Hindu sentiments and a perpetual rage-baiter, he appears willing to manufacture any controversy for TRPs and monetization.
From attacking idol worship to making provocative remarks about beef consumption, the pattern remains the same: outrage first, attention later.
Created a needless controversy over a white strip, Ironically ended up with a multicolored strip in the premises!
This YouTuber couldn’t tell a single reason/logic behind what offended him actually with the paint on the common path. He could very well crush it under his shows wile using/walking over it.
Just an additional coat of paint on the floor in the form of a pathway for common use of all entrants. How does it hurt a religious feeling ? Insane behaviour. This wasn’t any Laxman Rekha or some divisive sort of thing. A bare minimum convenience created for their Guru Maharaj.
Why is India Today giving priority to such non-issues?
See another video of this guy. He is okay with cutting bakra in society as it's just one time, but is extremely hurt because of a white line as it's like constantly dropping water on his head.
Seems like an ego issue to me.
A white strip painted for barefoot walkers within the boundaries of a housing soceity has "sparked controversy" because one resident says he wasn't consulted.
Here's what the law actually says.
In a housing society, individual consent is not required. If the managing committee passes a decision in the general body with majority approval, and it doesn't violate the model by-laws, it can be implemented. Period.
The Maharashtra State Co-operative Appellate Court reaffirmed this as recently as May 21, 2026 (Appeal No. 24 of 2026): the general body is the supreme authority.
The aggrieved resident had one job: to tell us whether this was discussed in the society meeting, whether the majority consented or dissented, and if he was in the minority, why he believed the decision violated the rules.
He didn't. Instead, he went viral, which he is entitled to, but...
If he genuinely believes the decision was unlawful, the correct route is a complaint to the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies so that it doesn't remain just a social media post and his campaign appears genuine..
By withholding every legally relevant fact, the complainant didn't raise a housing issue. He ran a clickbait campaign.
