NRIs - come back to India.
We’ll build together. There’s nothing we can’t accomplish. Btw our headcount is flat since last 18 months. And no pay hikes this year as AI is hitting us bad. Welcome home !
Fun-facts for people speculating about a "foreign hand" and "foreign funding" for the cockroach protests: in 2016, BJP govt amended Foreign Contribution Regulation Act to explicitly allow foreign donations to political parties. BJP is the largest recipient of political donations
21 years of people’s Right to Information
As citizens of India take to the streets to demand the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar and scrapping of the SIR, let us take a moment to celebrate our Right to Information law that turns 21 today. The RTI law has been instrumental in accessing information from the Election Commission of India - information that has established that the decision to undertake the SIR was not taken by the ECI and that the Commission was working in an illegal manner.
On the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the RTI Act, Satark Nagrik Sangathan (SNS) has released the key findings of the ‘Report Card on the Performance of Information Commissions in India, 2025-26’, which shows that-
- Nearly 4 lakh cases are pending in information commissions across India.
- 14 commissions have an estimated waiting time of more than 1 year to dispose a matter.
- 3 of these 14 commissions have an estimated waiting time of more than 15 years.
Let us pledge to use and protect our fundamental Right to Information, that empowers us to hold the powerful to account.
The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you.
As an African,
I've been told it's unlikely for me to speak up against racism toward India. But this man is why I do.
He was my tutor. Years ago, he completely changed my life. Maybe some of you recognize him, if you do, please share this post so it reaches him by surprise!
Now I’m being heavily trolled just for defending his country from racist stereotypes.
India does not deserve online hate mobs and shallow poverty-porn memes simply for asserting its sovereignty or daring to dream of hosting an Olympic Games. This is a hill I am willing to die on
To anyone seeing this across Africa, the Middle East, America, and Asia: don't let Western manufactured propaganda dictate your reality. Before you reduce 1.4 billion people to internet stereotypes, step out of your mom’s basement and travel the world.
You’d be amazed by the brilliant minds you find.
Jean Drèze has more dignified ground work than the entire RW ecosystem. He didn't just study rural India, he lived in jhuggis alongside them. To be him you don’t just need education, but principles, integrity & deep solidarity with masses - qualities that bootlickers can’t have.
"We call on the authorities to ensure that the right to peaceful assembly is fully respected & fulfilled.
We also urge the authorities to engage in meaningful dialogue to address the broadly held concerns expressed."

It took a crowd this size for some sense to prevail and for the thousands of security forces to not attack, thwart and push protestors as they had done for 2 days.
Why were protesters attacked over the weekend???
Look at the sorry, helpless and mum face when it comes to hold the police accountable, despite having reservoir of power and authority.

28 years, a medical degree, a PhD, and three postgraduate diplomas in infectious diseases later, I conclude that vaccines save millions of lives and do not cause autism.
@RahulGandhi@priyankagandhi@kharge My daughter and her friend who went to join anti-SIR protests in Bangalore have just been detained. Why is this happening in a Congress-ruled state even when the young step out in support of your cause? Please respond.
