Verses from the Quran chanted at convocations at AMU is Secularism.
Verses from the Shikshavalli in the Taittiriya Upanishad, which is about education, chanted at a convocation at IIT Delhi is Communal and a danger to Secularism.
This is Secularism for you.
This isn't tar; it is cooking oil, and not from a roadside thela, but from a five-star hotel in Karnataka.
Ideally, cooking oil subjected to deep-frying should be discarded after a single use. Repeated thermal degradation generates a hazardous buildup of lipid peroxides, toxic aldehydes, free fatty acids, and total polar materials. Ingesting these induces systemic oxidative stress and chronic low-grade inflammation, which significantly increases the risk of cancer, heart disease, and liver toxicity.
Yet, neither street vendors nor luxury establishments care. Instead of discarding degraded oil, they simply top it up with fresh oil to mask the dark color and keep cooking. They will keep reusing the same batch until it deteriorates so badly, foaming, smoking, and imparting an offensive, rancid taste, that even customers start to notice.
The choice is yours: why use your own money to ingest toxic compounds that bring you closer to death step by step in exchange for temporary taste?
Dozens of journalists covered the student protest in BJP ruled Delhi with total freedom, while in Opposition ruled Jharkhand @AmanChopra_ is picked up by cops, questioned, and slapped with an FIR.
No outrage. Because Democracy is alive and so is Press Freedom under the Congress.
Do you know who slows Bharat down?
Not Pakistan.
Not China.
Not even the 0.5 front.
The biggest drag is the IAS System.
In 1947, the British left.
But we kept the Architecture.
The brown sahibs of India.
And the system was built not to serve citizens.
It was to extort from citizens.
The system does not reward outcomes.
It rewards survival.
It rewards tenure.
It rewards procedural safety.
And when survival becomes the incentive,
execution becomes the casualty.
A file enters an office as a newborn.
It leaves with voting rights.
Some files are not pending.
They are deliberately kept pending.
With the "Forwarded for Necessary Action" tag.
Officer A marks it to Officer B.
Officer B marks it to Officer C.
Officer C seeks clarification from Officer A.
This is our Administrative efficiency.
The safest bureaucrat rarely solves the biggest problem.
He simply avoids the riskiest decision.
No decision.
No signature.
No blame.
Career safe.
Promotion comes with years.
Accountability never arrives.
Today, Bharat has ~5,577 serving IAS officers.
~8000 are retired.
Cost to the taxpayer?
Serving IAS cadre.
Up to ~₹6,500 crore a year.
Retired IAS pensions.
Up to ~₹2,000 crore a year.
And that is not the whole machine.
Salary.
DA.
HRA.
Government accommodation.
Bungalows and their maintenance.
Official cars.
Drivers.
Fuel.
Air and rail travel.
Hotels.
Daily allowances.
LTC.
Medical benefits.
Transfers and relocation.
Training.
Phones.
Laptops.
Office infrastructure.
Electricity.
Support staff.
Secretariat machinery.
Collectorate machinery.
Security.
Pensions.
Family pensions.
Gratuity.
The government pays to recruit them.
Train them.
House them.
Move them.
Transport them.
Support them.
And finally, retire them.
But here is the strange part.
We can calculate almost every input.
Where is the public dashboard measuring the output?
Where is the public KPI?
Which Collector reduced file pendency the most?
Which Secretary delivered the highest policy outcomes?
Which officer consistently completed projects on time?
Which officer transformed public service delivery?
Which officer remained a bottleneck for years?
Where is the scorecard?
Every profession is measured.
Businesses measure profit.
Students are measured.
Teachers are measured.
Companies are measured.
Taxpayers are measured.
Citizens are measured.
Political parties are measured.
Why are Babus never measured?
And why is their promotion guaranteed?
Now, imagine an IAS officer.
He played ping-pong with files his whole career.
One table to another.
One department to another.
One decade to another.
Then he retires.
But the taxpayer doesn't.
Why should taxpayers keep paying?
For a career never measured by performance?
The British built this system to extract from us.
And we still live under its architecture.
While proudly calling ourselves independent.
🚨BIG NEWS! Shashi Tharoor voices against constant Parliament disruption 🎯
🗣️ “We, the opposition, BENEFIT THE MOST from Parliament.
Question Hour lets us put ministers on the spot; Zero Hour, Rule 377 & other provisions let us raise constituency and public issues.
By disrupting Parliament, we are CHEATING OURSELVES, losing the chance to question the government, raise issues & put our views on legislation ON RECORD.”
Legal luminary Shri Harish Salve explains how foreign-funded ‘5-star activist’ Medha Patkar and her gang tried their level best to stop the people of Kutch from receiving water from the Narmada River.
But then Gujarat CM @narendramodi stood firm and took on the obstruction head-on.
Today, the Sardar Sarovar Dam irrigates 24 lakh hectares of farmland, generates enough power to light up 14 lakh homes, and provides drinking water to over 30 million people.
This is what happens when a visionary, well prepared leadership stands firm. Millions benefit!
In a civilization like India which invented cold pressed seed oils and ghee thousands of years ago, and ate them for thousands of years without issues, a foreign company called Dada marketed hydrogenated vegetable fat as a "healthy alternative" to Ghee as early as 1930s and won people's minds with "Dalda."
The power of mental programming by clever marketing is real and dangerous. Indians are going through it right now at an unprecedented rate via social media. Indians are made to hate their own country and look up to superficial others.
Just like hydrogenated vegetable fat with transfats was proven to be dangerous to health decades later, and Indians are turning back to cold pressed oils and ghee, one day everyone will realize they made a mistake hating their own country for some others shown as great now.
But that day may be too late.
The entire point of paying ₹400 for a naan and ₹2000 for a biryani in a 5 star hotel is the assurance that basic hygiene would be followed.
You need to bring fear back in the hearts of these people man.
This is the Samadhi Sthal of King Hemchandra Vikramaditya- last major Hindu emperor to rule Delhi before the Mughals consolidated power.
He won 22 battles but lost the Second Battle of Panipat on 5 November 1556 to Akbar’s forces (led effectively by Bairam Khan).
Hemu was struck by an arrow in the eye, fell unconscious, was captured, and behe@ded
This property, more than 10 Acres in revenue records, which formed the Camp of Babur in 1526 during First Battle of Panipat and Camp of Akbar in 1556 during Second Battle of Panipat was with Haryana ASI till 1990.
This entire Hemu Samadhi Sthal of 10 acres was transferred by then CM Om Prakash Chautala in 1990 to ‘Wakf Board of Haryana’ whose Chairman, a Muslim MLA from Mewat area of Haryana allowed encroachments charging money from some people and allowed Pucca constructions.
This CM was the father of @AbhaySChautala . Gaali do MC ko
Kochi : RSS ideologue TG Mohandas is arrested by Keralam police. He has been charged for passing "derogatory remarks" against Jantar Mantar protesting students..
Those who passed derogatory remarks against the PM and his mother got support from Pappu ji, but those who gave them back in their own language are arrested by the same Pappu Ji's police...
India in reality is leading and united.
But if you let Meta and Google dictate what you see, you’ll start believing we are divided, poor, and still struggling
The algorithm doesn’t show you India’s rise.
It shows you India’s problems on loop.
Mallika Bajaj brilliantly explained. 👏🏼👏🏼
Must watch. This is exactly why we need our own platforms. These foreign platforms have conditioned our youth against our country.
Time to break those shackles and start creating and encouraging positive stories, content, series and movies.
Especially Hindus are losing in this warfare.
Why India Needs a Dedicated Digital Minister Before It's Too Late
- Mallika Bajaj
In an interview on the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, Mallika Bajaj (Digital Transformation Architect) argued that India urgently needs a dedicated, young Digital Minister to counter the escalating threats of cognitive warfare, data leaks, and algorithmic manipulation.
Bajaj highlighted several critical reasons why India cannot afford to wait:
🔴 Combating Cognitive Warfare: Hostile foreign architectures engineered on social media manipulate Indian youth through algorithms, making a digital-focused defense strategy necessary.
🔴 Preventing Massive Data Leaks: National data leaks compromise everything from individual citizens to high-profile entities like the Defense Ministry.
🔴 Countering AI-Driven Misinformation: Evolving AI technologies and deepfakes make it impossible for citizens to verify information at the ground level without structural government intervention.
🔴 Securing Mind Sovereignty: Technology platforms seek control by creating predictive outcomes. India must actively protect its citizens’ attention spans and mental independence ("securing minds before securing minerals").
🔴 Keeping Pace Globally: Other nations are moving rapidly to institutionalise technological oversight, such as the UK appointing dedicated AI envoys.
Ultimately, Bajaj argues that information has become the "first weapon of modern warfare". Instead of just consuming tech tools created by Big Tech, India requires specialized leadership to build independent, sovereign digital infrastructure and safeguard national security.

“Foreign Algorithms Are Quietly Conditioning the Minds of India's Youth” - Mallika Bajaj
Mallika Bajaj is a digital transformation expert who studies how technology affects the way people learn, behave and think.
Digital transformation architect Mallika Bajaj argues that foreign social media algorithms are engaging in “cognitive warfare” by conditioning Indian youth through an Algorithmic Cognitive Reinforcement Loop (ACRL). Bajaj suggests these platforms prioritize “Four Vs” (Viciousness, Virality, Vulgarity, Violence) over truth, prompting a need for Indian cognitive neural sovereignty and indigenous technology development.

Shangri-La, Radisson, Taj, Vivanta and The Lalit have all been caught serving expired meat, milk products.
And I can tell you, it’s not about five-star hotels. Many global brands serve Western and Asian markets very differently.
Premium ingredients go to Western markets because they have stricter regulations and quality standards. Asian markets, including India, get cheaper alternatives: more palm oil, higher sugar and lower-quality substitutes.
Check almost any global brand, from KitKat to baby products. Same brand name does not always mean the same quality across markets.
This is one of the worst kinds of cheating. You pay a premium because you believe your food, your kids and your family are getting something safe and high quality. But if a company knowingly gives you an inferior product just because you are in a different market, how do these people even face their customers?
