An Open Letter to the Jantar Mantar protestors:
My dear young friends,
I address you today not as a politician or an MP, but as someone deeply troubled by what is happening to your generation of young Indians.
This is personal for me. I was born to a middle-class family: my father was a salaried newspaper employee, my mother a homemaker, with three children to educate on one income. For a family like ours, merit was not a slogan. Scholarships, fair examinations, honest results โ these were the only way one salary could carry three children's dreams.
I went to school in Mumbai and Kolkata, to college here in Delhi, topped the University and earned admission into IIM โ and chose instead to follow my passion for international affairs, in America, on a scholarship. Nothing was inherited; everything was earned by hard work and yes, Exams.
So I know that a fair, merit-based system is the only ladder for young people from lower and middle-income families to climb up. When that ladder is broken โ papers leaked, examinations cancelled, trust destroyed โ the children of the rich and powerful do not suffer. They have other ladders. It is your dreams, and your families' sacrifices (and tragically, in some homes, young lives themselves) that are betrayed.
To the young people gathered at Jantar Mantar, and those raising your voices peacefully across India: this country hears you. Your anger is not indiscipline โ it is the anguish of a generation that did everything right and was still betrayed . You are not alone.
And to the millions of young Indians watching quietly: your generation is not a problem to be managed. You are the answer to India's future. Do not lose hope. This ladder will be rebuilt โ by you, and by every Indian who stands with you.
To Shri Sonam Wangchuk-ji, my heartfelt appeal: please end your fast. You have awakened the conscience of the nation; that is what a fast is meant to do. India needs your voice for the long road ahead.
With Parliament in session again from Monday, we will have an opportunity to raise the studentsโ issues in the highest forum of our democracy. Thatโs where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death. Please heed my plea.
And finally, to the Government: I respectfully urge you to reach out and engage in the dialogue our democracy owes its young citizens. That is not weakness; that is statesmanship.
Piyali Basak is an acclaimed Indian mountaineer from Chandannagar, West Bengal, who famously became the first Indian woman to scale Mount Everest almost entirely without supplementary oxygen.
This petite primary school teacher with an undaunted spirit, hailing from the small town of Chandannagar in West Bengal, scripted history as she became the first Indian woman to scale Mt. Everest, the highest peak in the world standing proud at 8450 mts, without the aid of supplementary oxygen. Multiple reports suggest that Mt Everest has been scaled by nearly 4000 mountaineers from all over the world to date, but only 200 have been able to do so without additional oxygen assistance.
The 5 Ocean Ecosystems That Keep Our Planet Alive
The ocean isn't one giant blue expanse. It's made up of diverse ecosystems, each playing a vital role in supporting marine life and regulating our planet's climate.
In this reel, @SwatiWild takes us through five of the ocean's most important ecosystems, from vibrant coral reefs and towering kelp forests to seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, and the vast open ocean, explaining why protecting them means protecting our own future.

Today, if someone in Mumbai can't afford food or medical treatment, Jackie Shroff is often the first person to step in.
Before becoming Bollywood's beloved "Jaggu Dada," he faced poverty, dropped out after Class 11, and survived multiple rejections.
Success changed his lifeโbut not his values.
Today, he quietly supports nearly 100 families, pays for life-saving treatments, funds children's education, donates wheelchairs, and builds classrooms for underprivileged kids.
No PR. No cameras. Just a man who never forgot what it feels like to have nothing. โค๏ธ

When 21-year-old Cheenglai Lapka Chongtham and 30 fellow Manipuri students saw waste piling up in Dehradun, they chose action over complaints.
Together, they removed over 600 kg of waste and inspired a movement of 2,000+ young changemakers.
Their story proves that responsibility has no borders. ๐

๐ฎ๐ณ Bengal's contribution to India's freedom struggle was not just significantโit was extraordinary.
Of the 585 revolutionaries deported to the dreaded Cellular Jail in the Andamans between 1909 and 1938, a staggering 398 were from Bengalโnearly 68% of the total.
Behind every number was a dream. Behind every sacrifice was a fight for freedom. Behind every revolutionary was an unbreakable love for the motherland.
From Khudiram Bose to Masterda Surya Sen, Bengal produced generations of brave souls who chose imprisonment, torture, and even death over surrender.
Today, let us remember those heroes whose sacrifices helped shape the India we live in.
Proud to be Bengali. Proud to be Indian. โค๏ธ

For decades, India's biggest challenge was population growth. Governments promoted smaller families, fertility rates fell, and the fear of a population explosion dominated public policy.
Now, for the first time in India's history, the country's fertility rate has fallen below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman.
What does that actually mean?
In this explainer, we break down India's changing fertility trends, why fewer Indians are having children, and how education, urbanisation, rising costs, women's workforce participation, healthcare improvements, and changing lifestyles have transformed family planning across the country.
We also examine the economic consequences of an aging population, the future of India's demographic dividend, regional differences between northern and southern states, the politics of population and delimitation, and what governments are beginning to do in response.
Watch till the end to understand one of the most important demographic shifts shaping India's future: https://t.co/RJnMgRvqHy
