Most of the photos we take in the cities of India feel like they're in sepia mode. We have to talk about the weather in breathe in someday!!

The Indian passport is a “travel document” and not a “citizenship document”, a senior official of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Wednesday (June 24, 2026). The purpose of the Indian passport is to help Indians transit and travel through foreign ports and territories and it should not be compared with other documents that are used to establish citizenship rights, the official said, reports @janusmyth

In any other country (even 3rd world like us, forget a country claiming to be a Vishwaguru), even a single such incident in a year would have caused massive uproar.

But for us, it’s probably 50th case in this year of being killed by the all-pervasive corruption-nexus of govt, IAS, and business.

Nothing will change and next time it would you be you or me or our families perishing in this hellhole created by cruel systems.

@Cockroachisback may succeed, or it may fail. Only time will tell.

But if it achieves one thing, I hope it's this: making it normal to demand accountability whenever a government entity fails to perform its duties.

Massive hike in #petrol prices is a prime example of the failure of Congress-led UPA. This will put a burden of hundreds of crores on Guj.

We need to start listening to the sound of cockroaches. They are making a political point. My column today.

[The Hindu @the_hindu]

Environmentalist and educationist Sonam Wangchuk on Saturday voiced support for the online "cockroach" movement led by the self-styled "Cockroach Janata Party" (CJP), describing himself as an
"honorary cockroach", as he urged the government to engage with the concerns being raised by youngsters rather than suppressing their digital expression.

@GulPanag @abhiandniyu Strongly disagree. The criticism is of the person, not the post. Not our country.
He hasn't appeared in any press conference. Are you okay with that?

🚨 SHOCKING! YouTuber Gulshan Pahuja has been sentenced to 6 months jail by Delhi HC for calling the judiciary "TAANASHAHI" & "MANMARZI" (Dictatorship & arbitrary rule) 🤯

He had openly said he expects "no justice" from the Indian judicial system.

He ran the channel “Fight 4 Judicial Reforms".

If even basic criticism of the judiciary lands you in jail, then let’s be honest, Rest in Peace, Free Speech in India.

Whosoever this woman is, extremely well done.

These regular road blockings for dharnas, protests, and VIP visits are a nuisance. When will political parties realise that not a single new voter will be added through such methods? In fact, people stuck in traffic will hate you, you may lose more than you gain.

Specifically to the BJP: move on from the women’s reservation issue. Nobody cares about it. No woman, except maybe the party cadre, is angry that the bill won’t be implemented right now. It’s not going to fetch you any votes. There is already too much traffic in India; don’t make it worse by blocking roads for pointless theatrics.

Coming back to this woman, I’m sure the deep state experts will soon find out her political allegiance and label her a deep-state agent planted by George Soros to dilute the women’s reservation bill issue, because shooting the messanger is easier than addressing the message.

Good air, clean water, and food are fundamental to a good life. In that sense, they should be treated as fundamental rights.

But air quality has been steadily degrading, and it's not really part of the mainstream conversation. That needs to change. Right now, if you look at the site (link in comments), everything looks green. But as we get closer to the end of the year, things will start looking much worse.

Solving air pollution is hard, but the first step is simple: people need to know what they're breathing.

Right now, that's not possible. India does collect air quality data, but it's either locked away, too broad to tell you anything about your locality, or just not published at all. There's no single place a citizen can go to get a clear, neighbourhood-level picture.

So we set out to fix that.

Today, we're launching an open, pan-India air quality platform, built in partnership with leading organisations in the field. The goal: give citizens, schools, local governments, and communities direct access to the data that affects their daily lives.

At @RainmatterOrg , we've been committed to keeping this conversation alive, and this platform is our attempt at making that happen. All the data on the site is free and open, so others can build on top of it.

@thevirdas I find it really funny that people cannot believe someone is disciplined and works out.
200 pushups, although impressive, are not unachievable. Especially done in sets.
Keep going man!!

[Narundar @NarundarM]

People kept complaining about fake paneer, fake ghee, fake sweets, etc… so the government took action against the people complaining.

[Manas Kocharekar @ManasKocharekar]

@piersmorgan So the countries that have bombed others worldwide also want to decide who can have weapons?
UK and USA should be sanctioned for their history in using weapons recklessly in the parts of the world they had no business being in.
Sit down colonizer!!

[Manas Kocharekar @ManasKocharekar]

@thevirdas I slightly disagree.
Yes don't film people crying or such things.
But sharing good deeds might inspire others to do the same, at least for the likes that it gets. As long as the help is genuine obviously!!

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

Buy shit from your friends businesses and try and get free shit from strangers.

Not the other way around.
