Pat Cummins is hiding behind legalese & technical nuances, just like Cricket Australia did in 2018.

It's not rocket science.

If a professional cricketer holds a red cherry, and one side is shiny and the other side is roughed up to that extent, they know it hasn't happened naturally.

They all knew.

Not only did they know, they did it in the previous test at Port Elizabeth as well. Uzzi has stated that in his book, and so has Faf in a previous interview.

Go look at the highlights from that game.

Faf du Plessis is on record stating that they were tracking the ball through binoculars from the dressing room at Port Elizabeth.

Because the ball was moving in a way that was simply not possible. And at that moment, SA didn't know it was tampering, They just wanted to 'learn' what the Aussies were doing.

You cheated.

Spare everyone this sanctimonious bullshit.

You have to be extraordinarily crass, crude and boorish to intentionally misspell Finance Minister @nsitharaman ’s name to turn it into a mocking meme.
This only proves once again @RahulGandhi has a lowly opinion and despicable view of self-made women with greater IQ — intelligence and integrity — than a despised Dynast with an overweening sense of entitlement.
His crudely ‘pushing’ a woman constable or misbehaving with a woman journalist is neither accidental nor unintended.
A boor to the manor born is a boor.

Thiru Annamalai avl…

1. You quote Modi ji from 2011 but leave out what he was reacting to. That night, police lathi-charged sleeping women and children at a peaceful fast in Ramlila Maidan at midnight. In 2026, CJP protesters jumped barricades and defied orders, and India Today reports 20 FIRs against them. Putting the two side by side insults the victims of 2011.

2. You warn that people "could be jailed indefinitely." The CJP leaders were out within days, through the same legal process you call broken. Your own post admits they've been released. That isn't tyranny. It's the system working.

3. Delhi has had ACPs acting as Special Executive Magistrates since its police commissionerate began in 1978. Every government since, Congress and AAP included, has used the same powers. Discovering the problem only now, and only when it's the CJP, is selective outrage.

4. You call their tactics "misguided" yourself. Misguided tactics that break the law bring legal consequences, for everyone. BJP karyakartas have faced them too.

5. You ask whether the BJP is giving the CJP free publicity. A long post from a former state president repeating their talking points does more for them than any effigy ever could.

6. You remind us you left the BJP on June 5. But the BJP never stopped you from asking questions. It gave you the platform that made your questions worth hearing. Calling the karyakartas still working on the ground "attackers" doesn't make your questions sharper. It only shows which side you've chosen.

7. The UNHRC, Al Jazeera, the BBC and a whole network of non-state actors are ganging up against Modi ji and India right now. Is this really the moment to show your soft side, and only to these anarchists? Timing is a choice too, and this one helps the people who want India weakened.

Ask every question you like. Just don't mistake amplifying one side for speaking truth to power.

[Nupur J Sharma @UnSubtleDesi]

Here’s what you do when you have the truth on your side.

Mamata filed Multiple FIRs against me, interrogated me and my husband for hours and even filed a CID case.

I offered no apology. No undertaking. No bond. No application for anticipatory bail. No compromise.

I left my home. Sold my business. Moved across the country with my baby. I survived and fought. The court said the FIRs were vindictive and forced the state to either withdraw or face punitive costs.

Court asked if I wanted to fight for compensation. I refused. I don’t want blood money.

That’s how you fight for the truth, you cowardly anarchist.

Add - you signed a bond because you knew you’d be arrested. You knew you had sparked anarchy and violence. You KNOW you are a criminal.

The state in your case followed the law. The only criminal and the only coward here, is you.

[The Sacred Scroll @SacredScroll]

Gloves are off now, Elon.

Still no licence? Wrong. Starlink got its Unified Licence with GMPCS authorisation from the DoT in June 2025. You know that. Your own VP posted about it.

Ambani is the real boss?

Ambani's Jio lobbied for a spectrum auction. India gave you administrative allocation, the exact thing you asked for. Then you signed distribution deals with Jio and Airtel. If Ambani is blocking you, why is he your reseller?

Five years of complying?

In 2021 you took pre-order money from Indians with no licence at all. The DoT had to order you to stop and refund people. That was your first move in India.

India's home ministry reportedly froze clearances after Starlink terminals showed up in Iran, where you aren't even licensed. Before that, our army pulled one out of a militant cache in Manipur. Your own company says talks are active and productive. So which version is true: the one your VP tells Delhi, or the one you tell 200 million followers?

The spectrum rules were cleared last month and are headed to Cabinet. You're weeks from the finish line, and you're throwing a tantrum in public to rush a sovereign country's security review.

India isn't a market you can bully on X. Wait your turn.

[Abhijeet Dipke @abhijeet_dipke]

If Rahul Gandhi really wants to prove that Modi is the most unknowledgeable and dumb politician, then all he need to do is remain silent.

Because whenever he chooses to speak, he proves the otherwise.

[Manjunath HR @m_rbhat]

@Amockx2022 Exactly, we got a Prime Minister!!

[GhoseSpot @TheRightGhose]

It wasn't as simple as you're now making it out to be, Mr @virsanghvi. The allegations went far beyond Gyanesh Kumar being a "dictator," and it's disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

Dictatorial people aren't unusual in any walk of life, including the media, where some editors were notorious for their imperiousness. That alone doesn't make a person tainted or their intentions mala fide.

But the attacks weren't really against Gyanesh Kumar. They were against the institution of @ECISVEEP and, by extension, the government and the BJP. The insinuation was that the EC facilitated "Vote Chori" to keep or bring the BJP to power at the Centre and in the states. Gyanesh Kumar, whom you called an "old stooge" of those in power, was cast as the chief architect of this nefarious operation, even riding roughshod over his "dissenting" colleagues.

This was also the crux of the LoP's grand press conference. There he displayed photos resembling a rogues' gallery: PM @narendramodi, Home Minister @AmitShah, their cabinet colleagues, businessmen and even a yoga guru, all shown alongside Gyanesh Kumar as accomplices and key players.

The BJP is alleged to be the direct and selective beneficiary of this conspiracy, though SIR was conducted even in states where the BJP wasn't in power or didn't win, such as Keralam and TN. So the party has every right to refute the charge that it holds power by manipulating the system with the help of a pliant official. In doing so @rsprasad and @BJP4India are not speaking on behalf of anyone - but reassuring their own constituents who could be misled by sustained malicious propaganda.

Gyanesh Kumar doesn't need to defend himself personally. His primary responsibility is to protect the institution's credibility and preserve the confidence of the people who have placed their trust in the EC. He has done that, albeit belatedly. Some may even argue it was "too little, too late."

But one wonders: why are some eminent public intellectuals and opinion makers "of consequence" so quick to latch on to conspiracy theories about this government, without waiting for the facts to be sifted from mischievous fiction. After being called out they “doth protest too much”.

Hit job #2

First: Remove #CEC by impeaching him. Second: Discredit BJP’s future electoral victories.

Rahul G: “If tomorrow the BJP sweeps elections, no one will believe it.”

Courageous @IndianExpress coyly doesn’t mention Opposition has tried to impeach this CEC twice already & failed both times.

Equally bright RahulG doesn’t mention that no one will believe Congress victories in Karnataka, Keralam,Telangana & Himachal.

We deserve a better, brighter Opposition leader than LoP & a more balanced newspaper than Indian Express that exposes both govt & Opposition with equal ferocity as Ramnath ji used to do. The paper was a newspaper then not a hit job paper acting on the command of a ventriloquist.

[Ministry of Finance @FinMinIndia]

Speculation and claims that the MDR will be charged on UPI transactions are completely false, baseless, and misleading.

Such baseless and sensation-creating speculations cause needless uncertainty, fear and suspicion among our citizens.

The Government remains fully committed to promoting digital payments via UPI.

[Ranvir Shorey @RanvirShorey]

This needs urgent attention, @PMOIndia @narendramodi. These people who are doing more than their duty as citizens should be rewarded, and the officials who have failed to do theirs despite all the state’s resources should be penalised!

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

India’s Municipal corruption is unchecked.

It’s a pity that an entity that affects the quality of our lives the most. There has been barely any effort from the Modi govt to reform this body. Every monsoon this claims 100s of lives. This petty corruption. Nauseating.

[Ram @ramprasad_c]

56 inch Chest with a 26 inch Spine

BJP surrendered to the Cockroach Janata Party. Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. All FIRs against protesters withdrawn. Compensation for NEET victims accepted. Every single demand met. The 37-day protest at Jantar Mantar ended with CJP posting "Cockroaches won. Democracy won."

This did not have to end this way. And one of the main reasons it did is sycophancy.

For those of us who have been following Indian politics long enough, this movie is familiar. We watched it play out with the Congress party over two decades. The script is the same. Only the cast has changed.

Here is how the sycophancy spiral works.

A powerful leader consolidates authority. The people closest to them rise not because of their ability but because of their loyalty. These loyalists tell the leader what the leader wants to hear. Criticism is treated as disloyalty. Disagreement is treated as betrayal. Over time, the leader becomes surrounded by people whose only skill is praise. JP Nadda. Gogoi. Sanjay Jha. Digvijay Singh. Different parties, same species. They thrive not by being strong but by making the leader feel strong.

The problem is not that these people are sycophants. The problem is what sycophancy does to the information flow.

BJP's own supporters have been demanding Pradhan's resignation for months over the NEET examination scandal. Students died by suicide. Parents were devastated. The anger was real, widespread, and legitimate. But the people around Modi told him it was a non-issue. That the noise would die down. That the party's core support would hold. That Pradhan need not resign because resigning would show weakness.

This is what sycophants do. They filter reality. They present the world as the leader wants to see it, not as it is. And the leader, addicted to the dopamine of constant positive feedback, treats any dissonance as noise rather than signal. When you are in a sycophantic spiral, you are so accustomed to praise that even mild criticism feels like an attack. So you default to more praise. More reassurance. More "everything is fine, sir."

Until it is not fine. Until a satirical movement born from a Chief Justice's insult to unemployed youth puts people on the street and forces your Health Minister to sit across from two 20-somethings and accept every demand they put on the table.

Watch the footage of Nadda meeting the CJP representatives. This is India's Health Minister, a senior BJP leader, practically begging for a handshake. This is what sycophancy produces. Not strength. Weakness dressed in a party robes. When the moment demanded firmness, strategic communication, and a genuine engagement with legitimate grievances, the party sent a man whose instinct was to surrender because he had never been trained to fight. He was trained to agree.

Nadda showed BJP's core voters that the 56-inch chest has deputies with 26-inch spines.

This is the real cost. Elections are not won by core voters alone. Core voters will vote BJP no matter what. But elections are won by swing voters. And swing voters are watching. They are watching Nadda fumble. They are watching the party that projects strength act from weakness. They are watching a satirical Instagram movement outmaneuver the most formidable political machine in Indian history.

Even if swing voters are lost, core voters can be demoralized. They may never switch loyalties. But they may not show up at the polling booth. The dissonance for them is real. They signed up for a party that fights. A party that does not bend. When they see their leaders bend on national television, the gap between the party's self-image and its behavior becomes too wide to ignore. They may not articulate it. But the enthusiasm fades. The booth-level energy drops. The margins shrink.

Congress walked this exact path. A formidable force reduced to losing official opposition status within a decade. Not because the public turned against them overnight. But because the sycophants drowned out the grassroots leaders. Because the Digvijay Singhs, Gogois, Mani Shankars and Sanjay Jhas rose while the genuine talent was sidelined. Because the leadership stopped hearing the truth and started hearing only what made them comfortable.

BJP has one structural advantage Congress never had: it is not wedded to a dynasty. It has the RSS's organizational depth. It has a self-correction mechanism. But sycophancy corrodes self-correction. When the leadership structure is infested with weak men who have no real connect or command, the mechanism rusts.

Modi and Shah can clean house. They can replace the Naddas with fighters. They can rebuild the feedback loops that once made BJP the most responsive political organization in the country. But that requires acknowledging that the problem exists. And acknowledging that the problem exists requires hearing it from someone other than a sycophant.

That is the trap. And it is the same trap Congress walked into. And in all likelihood, BJP will continue to walk into.

[Berlin parody @Toxicity_______]

Rajputs fought and sacrificed their lives; today, they're called "Mughalpoot."

Brahmins, who were 70% of those killed by British bullets, are ridiculed and blamed for everything every day even Chandrashekhar Azad gets abused.

The Vaishya community, which contributes significantly to the economy and pays a substantial share of taxes through business and entrepreneurship, never gets appreciated.

The 0.37% Jain community, which contributes many times more in taxes than its share of the population, gets neither benefits nor appreciation.

And the man who begged the British to continue enslaving Indians has today been elevated to the status of a god.

My point is this: if you're a GC-Genz and think protesting is going to fix this country then you're an idiot, be it the government, the opposition, or the media they're all fueling mob against you.

If you want to do something revolutionary, do it for yourself and your family..develop your skills, build your future, and if you can, leave this country.

Getting beaten with batons at protests and having criminal cases filed against you won't make this mob driven system stop harassing you.

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

Almost every argument about energy comes down to one number: energy density.

How much energy is stored per kilogram of fuel or material.

The numbers in MJ/kg:

• Wood: 15
• Coal: 24
• Crude oil: 44
• Natural gas: 54
• Hydrogen (compressed): 120
• Lithium-ion battery: 0.7
• Uranium (fission): 80,000,000
• Hydrogen (fusion): 690,000,000

Read those last two again.

A kilogram of uranium contains more energy than 3,000 tonnes of coal.
A kilogram of hydrogen fusion fuel contains 45 million times more energy than a kilogram of oil.

This is why:
• Batteries struggle to replace liquid fuels in aviation and shipping. Energy density is 60x lower.
• Nuclear submarines can run for 25 years without refuelling.
• Fusion, if cracked, ends energy scarcity permanently – not just for decades, but for the lifetime of the Sun.

The energy transition debate isn't about ideology.
It's about physics.

Every energy source is competing against millions of years of chemistry packed into fossil fuels – and, eventually, against the nucleus itself.

Know the numbers. The debate becomes clearer.

भारतीय रेलवे की एक ट्रेन के 1AC कोच के एक केबिल को सजाने का मामला तूल पकड़ता जा रहा है. सोशल मीडिया पर सुहागरात के कमरे की तरह सजे केबिन का वीडियो वायरल होने के बाद अब रेलवे प्रशासन ने संबंधित TC (टिकट चेकर) को सस्पेंड कर दिया है.

दरअसल ये मामला 6 जुलाई 2026 का है जब ट्रेन संख्या 11002 नंदीग्राम एक्सप्रेस में सफर कर रहे एक कपल ने अपने सफर को खास बनाने के लिए ऑनलाइन एक निजी डेकोरेटर को काम पर रखा था. इस डेकोरेटर ने ट्रेन के भीतर जाकर उनके पूरे केबिन को सुहागरात के कमरे की तरह सजाया.

वीडियो के सामने आने के बाद रेलवे प्रशासन हरकत में आ गया है. रेलवे ने इस मामले को सुरक्षा के लिहाज से एक गंभीर चूक माना है. इस लापरवाही के आरोप में संबंधित स्टाफ को तत्काल प्रभाव से सस्पेंड करते हुए पूरे मामले की विस्तृत विभागीय जांच के आदेश दे दिए गए हैं.
