VIDEO | Delhi: Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke says, "Today, we were supposed to hold a meeting with our volunteers in Delhi, for which we needed an indoor venue. We approached several places, but no one was willing to give us a hall. Everyone said there was pressure from above and that they could not give a hall to people from the Cockroach Janata Party... Finally, with great difficulty, we managed to get this hall, and this is the receipt for it. But this morning, the people who gave us the hall were also threatened and told that if they allowed a Cockroach Janata Party meeting to take place there, they would be turned upside down and hung."

#Delhi
@auskamat@ShashiTharoor People sacrificed their lives to fight against oppression. There is a good reason to choose first two, separation of religion from government. If Vandemataram ticked all the boxes for anthem, there never was a need for Janaganamana.
@atherenergy I was asking everyone to go electric with you for the past three years.
Vehicle has multiple issues. Charge Lock, Tire Change, Seat Change. Waiting on parts for 3 days. Not taking the vehicle without these repairs.
Not recommending you going forward.
In a landmark judgment on May 22, 2026, the Delhi High Court held Google liable for trademark infringement.
The case was between Hindware and Google. The court held that, by allowing competitors of Hindware to purchase the keyword “Hindware” (a trademarked name) through Google Ads, Google enabled trademark infringement. The court said that “Hindware” is not a generic English word but a specific brand trademark. By allowing competitors to place ads on that keyword, Google is enabling competitors to divert traffic that should have legitimately gone to Hindware.
This has been a big challenge for companies, both big and small. Even today, if you search for Zerodha, you will see search results from competitors. This has been happening for well over a decade.
Although it is hard to quantify, we have lost a lot of business to this. Think about what happens. Whenever someone searches for "Zerodha", the traffic should rightfully come to Zerodha. But what often happens is that the first couple of results on Google Search are ads, leading the customer to a competitor's website. In the process, we lose business that should have come to us.
This is made worse by the fact that we do not advertise.
There is also an even more ironic thing here. A lot of brands, just to capture the traffic that should have come to them organically, end up bidding on their own keywords. Think about it. If you own a business and have a trademarked name for your business, you still have to pay Google just to hopefully make your name too expensive for your competition to run ads on it.
But now, thanks to the Delhi High Court judgment, we have the option of taking legal action whenever we come across instances of other companies squatting on our keyword.
The other brilliant part about this judgment is that it levels the playing field. And this matters even more for startups, who are already starved for resources and have the odds stacked against them. The last thing they need is for competitors to bid on their brand keywords and steal their traffic.
This judgment now opens up a route for legal recourse whenever such deceptive practices occur.
While keyword squatting is most visible in Google web results, it is an even bigger problem when it comes to app stores. Whenever someone searches for your brand, the first couple of results, both above and below your app listing, often tend to be those of your competitors. And in the case of app stores, I think the ads are even more problematic. When a user clicks on an app-store ad, they often end up installing an app. That is a much higher-commitment action than clicking on a competitor’s web search result and then just closing the page. Because the user has installed an application, the conversions, at least anecdotally, tend to be much higher.
Again, brands that do not advertise are at the receiving end of this. So I welcome this ruling and hope this changes the unfair norms we've been living by for so long.
Read this story. Carefully.
CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it.
Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed.
TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, qualified in the third round too. TCS lost. COEMPT - a company with a spectacular track record of failure - won.
And what are CBSE students complaining about today? Badly scanned answer sheets. Missing pages. A broken evaluation portal.
Teachers had warned CBSE that the OSM system needed at least a year or two for further preparation before nationwide implementation, yet it was rushed through.
So I ask again - who wanted COEMPT to win? Who lowered the bar, step by step, until this company could clear it?
Pradhan ji and CBSE say “due process was followed.” That is not an answer, that is not accountability. The question is whether the contract was honestly awarded to the best company which could do the job correctly.
The futures of 18.5 lakh children were handed to a company that could only qualify after the rules were bent for it.
To the BJP Ministers attacking me for asking questions - I have, from day one, demanded an independent judicial probe. Expand it from CBSE to every contract awarded to COEMPT. Our youth deserve the truth.
And Modi ji, your silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister tells the country what you actually care about - not the futures of lakhs of students, only the survival of your own government.
A non resident sport person is taxed max at 20% bracket, why Indian firms and Indians are taxed above this ?

Mamla Legal Hai on @NetflixIndia , one thing that struck with me. US Judiciary acting as stepping stone for politics, DAs are elected and they have actual power and held accountable during reelections. They have a path to politics, India needs to try this.
