Today, I just narrowly escaped on ORR soon after entering from the Shamsabad Entry. I was negotiating a turn when a RMC truck suddenly came from the wrong side. God just saved me. Please take necessary action.

In Kodathi, under the jurisdiction of Bengaluru's @varthurps around 40–50 illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators are living. The infiltrators themselves claim that the police visit every week to collect bribes from them.

It is a case of the fence itself eating the crop.

When Indira Jaisingh suggested to Supreme Court to allow adults to legally have 'consensual sex' with Class 9 or 10 schoolgirls, we @sewanyaya + @NetworkforJus filed 11 intervention petitions in the matter

That matter has not come up for hearing since August 2025

Now, in another matter, a Supreme Court bench has remarked that "15-18" years is age of experimentation and should not invite POCSO on the adult partner (case was a 25-year-old man impregnating a 14-year-old girl after making her elope with him)

We filed 4 intervention petitions in this matter two days ago

This matter was scheduled to come up for hearing yesterday but did not

More interventions are in process. We will continue to oppose any dilution of POCSO Act to allow adults to exploit children in the name of her/his consent

We are TAXPAYERS, not your damn subjects!

​The vehicle is ours, 15 years of advance road tax is paid by us, GST and Cess are paid by us. Brutal Central and State fuel taxes are paid by us....

​So who the hell gave the government the right to tamper with our vehicle's parts and also destroy its mileage without our CONSENT!!!

This is an absolute insult to the hard-earned money of honest citizens! Taxation is a contract; we pay the state to power the economy, not to be financially penalized!
Hardeep Puri ji sir and Nitin Gadkari ji sir : Drop this feudal "Monarch vs. Masses" arrogance and stop plundering the common man's pocket & destroying their vehicles!

"168 ka petrol available hai, toh bharo na."

The sheer arrogance in this statement by Nitin Gadkari sums up the government's stance on the fuel crisis.

Force consumers into buying cheaper-to-produce E20 ethanol blends at premium prices, suffer a massive drop in vehicle mileage, and if they complain about engine damage, tell them to track down ₹168/liter pure petrol instead.

We are paying record-high taxes only to be gaslit by the people we elected. The middle class isn't a bottomless ATM for policy experiments.

Let me explain what this whole fight is about, because it is very different from what the tweet by the Japanese official makes it sound like.

Back in 2015, India and Japan signed the Mumbai to Ahmedabad bullet train deal. 508 km.

India would use Japan's Shinkansen trains and Shinkansen technology. Japan put up a massive soft loan, covering most of the cost, at almost no interest, 0.1 percent, to be repaid over 50 years.

On paper it sounded amazing. Cheap money, world class trains.

But every such loan has a catch. Cheap Japanese money came tied to buying Japanese things.

Their trains. Their coaches. Their signal system. Their price, largely on their terms. That is normal. No country lends billions out of pure love. They lend to sell their own industry.

Then two things went wrong, and this is where his anger comes from.

One, the price.

The Japanese Shinkansen trainsets turned out to be extremely expensive. India felt it was being overcharged for the rolling stock. So, talks hit a wall.

Two, the timeline.

The newest Japanese trains, the E10 series, would reportedly only be ready for India around 2032. India did not want to sit on a finished 1.08 lakh crore track with no trains to run on it.

So India made a call. And this is the part I am proud of.

Instead of waiting and overpaying, India decided to run its own trains first. BEML in Bengaluru got an order to build indigenous high speed trainsets at about 866 crore each, designed to run at 280 kmph.

India will open the line with Indian made trains on the Surat to Vapi stretch around 2027, and bring in the Japanese Shinkansen later.

And the signal system, the thing he is bitter about, India switched from Japan's DS-ATC to the European ETCS Level 2 system.

The same family already used on the Delhi Meerut rapid rail. That is what he means by Japan being excluded from the signal system. India looked at the Japanese option, found it too costly and too slow, and picked a different one.

Now let me be fair, because I cannot be blind just because I am pro India.

He is not lying about everything.

India is genuinely a tough, frustrating negotiator. We change our mind. We push for our own interest till the last minute. We renegotiate things others thought were settled.

To a Japanese official raised on politeness and fixed agreements, this feels like betrayal.

But flip it around and look at it from our seat.

Our job is not to protect Japanese honour. Our job is to get India a bullet train at a fair price, that runs soon, and that builds Indian factories in the process.

On all three, changing course was the right call. Waiting till 2032 and overpaying for imported trains would have been the polite choice. It would also have been the stupid choice.

There is a bigger thing hiding under his frustration, and I think it is the real reason for the anger.

For decades, the deal was simple. Rich countries gave loans and technology, and poorer countries said thank you and bought whatever came bundled with it.

You took the money, you took their trains, you did not argue.

India argued. India took the loan, then insisted on its own trains, its own signal system, its own factories getting the work. We used their money to build our capability instead of just renting theirs.

That is what stings them. Not that we were reckless. That we refused to stay the junior partner in our own project.

I will give the Japanese side genuine credit.

Their engineering is world class. In 60 years, the Shinkansen has never had a passenger death from a derailment or collision.

That safety record is worth respecting. Their frustration with our chaos is also probably fair on a human level. Working with India can be maddening. Anyone who has managed an Indian project knows this.

For me, the real issue is what’s in it for our country.

India has the track. India is building its own trains for it. India picked its own signal system.

India got a 50 year loan at almost zero interest. And India will still get the Shinkansen later, on better terms than the original bundle.

If that is what Indian recklessness produces, I will take it every single time.

Be tough. Be a nightmare to negotiate with. Just make sure the country wins at the end of it. :)

A vlogger's recent trip to Kashmir has raised several questions. According to him, conversations allegedly became tense whenever he mentioned the Indian Army, Prime Minister Modi, or Yogi Adityanath, with some locals reacting negatively.

He further claimed that certain people blamed the Indian Army for the region's instability and even made allegations about its conduct toward women, rather than holding terrorists responsible. He said that when he challenged these views, he was allegedly threatened.

At the Martand Sun Temple, he alleged that some locals insisted the temple was destroyed by lightning rather than by Islamic invaders, and that he faced threats after attempting to record the discussion.

He also claimed to have found a Shivling inside a locked temple where Jalabhishek was reportedly not permitted.

Finally, he alleged that a police officer began harassing him after learning he was from Gorakhpur and released him only after accepting a bribe.

Hey @grok what does article 27 of Indian constitution say?

“Everyone talks about article 25, 26 and 30. But one of the most dangerous article is article 27.”

As per this video the summary of article 27 is “The tax collected by the govt should not be used for Hindus but can be used for other religions(Muslims and Christians)”

No one seems to know or bothered about this article. No govt touched it.

@PMOIndia @HMOIndia can you please repeal this article?
