India Today reported that 8,056 people died in 5 days, with Uttar Pradesh emerging as India's deadliest state during the heatwaves.
Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair also amplified the claim.
Later, when it was found that the report was misleading, India Today first deleted its post and then removed the article.
Now, the fact-checking brigade has suddenly lost interest in facts.
So @dibang welcomes actor Manoj Bajpayee with “Govt has sold its gold reserves comment” !! Why?
He knows very well that this is not Bajpayee’s domain, yet he deliberately says this in his opening comment only to perpetuate the lies started by @business
Sue him @FinMinIndia
Meenakshi Goyat suffered a serious leg injury during an Under-23 wrestling competition. She was bedridden for more than 6 months.
Today, she is a two-time National Champion in women's wrestling and an Asian Championships silver medalist (2026).
I am posting this because much of the coverage seems to be focused on Vinesh Phogat's defeat rather than Meenakshi Goyat's achievement.
Vinesh has made India proud many times and deserves full respect for her achievements. But at the same time, it would be unfair if Meenakshi's success is ignored.
Like every athlete who represents the country, Meenakshi also deserves appreciation and support.
Celebrating such performances not only gives credit where it is due but also motivates athletes to continue striving for excellence.
I'm very proud to live in India but I am ashamed of those selfish people who have no morals, who run after money only and defend terrorists, maoists & anti-India gangs and criminals!
@CandidShweta TN has finally voted a govt of non dravidian party. The present guy is just riding on his stardom and missionary funding.
Best time for another alternative. For a national party it would've been a long journey. Annamalai opening a regional front is best option
It must have been around 2003–04. We were at a beach resort in Langkawi, Malaysia.
Most mornings, my husband, our young son, and I preferred a leisurely breakfast on our deck, but that day we had booked a six-seater speedboat for snorkelling at a nearby island, so we headed to the resort’s breakfast area instead of waiting for room service.
Years of travel teach you small tells. In a resort breakfast area, you can often identify the Europeans, particularly the British and Australians, not by accent, but by their plates: generously, almost anxiously loaded, as if the concept of ‘all you can eat’ might be revoked without notice.
One particular man, in shorts and flip-flops, his plate already piled high with fruit, bakery items and cereals, seemed in a tearing hurry.
My husband stepped aside, making an exaggeratedly polite gesture - please, go ahead.
The man did. Without a glance, without a word of thanks, he moved ahead and loaded his plate even further.
Back at our table, my husband simply rolled his eyes.
At the jetty, as we boarded the speedboat, we found ourselves face to face with the same man and his partner.
And then it began. My first and only experience of passive-aggressive racism.
It started small. As the boat lurched and I slid along the bench, I let out an ‘oops!’
After that, every time the boat swayed, jolted, or a splash of water hit us, he echoed it back. Mocking, exaggerated, and unmistakably deliberate.
Then came the insinuation. Had we opened their bag when they returned to the boat a few minutes after us post-snorkelling? The absurdity of it was almost surreal.
The boat driver, a big, burly Malay who had barely spoken till then, intervened quietly but firmly. Neither he nor we had touched their belongings.
By the time we reached the anchoring point late afternoon, the couple disembarked with little more than a dismissive wave to the driver.
As we got off, he turned to us, apologised on their behalf, and offered us a complimentary tour the next day.
We took it.
That morning was full of fun and relaxed and it helped wash away much of the sourness from the day before.
So yes, there are all sorts.
We Indians, for our part, are not without our own excesses.
We are noisy, often conducting phone calls in permanently activated long-distance mode. We share food enthusiastically, across aromas and consistencies.
Our children develop a special public whine precisely when denied something they have been told not to eat.
And there is almost always an obliging uncle, aunt, or didi ready to plead their case. Entirely human, but also very public.
Every nationality comes with its own idiosyncrasies and oddities. Taken together, they form the texture of travel.
And travel, after all, is also about choice. How you plan it, where you place yourself, and what you seek from it. You can lean into the mix or curate your distance.
When it turns embarrassing, as it sometimes does, you can simply step aside. Observe, disengage, move on.
You don’t have to claim ownership of everything that looks like you.
@ShineHamesha It's the best. TN politics is dominated by REGIONAL parties. As long as ideology remains intact it is best arrangement. In south especially in Karnataka the biggest enemies of BJP are some BJP leaders themselves. Always infighting
Meet Abhinay Sharma !!
He runs a Youtube channel called Abhinav maths with over 3.3 Mn subscribers
An instagram account with almost half a million followers
A facebook account with almost half a million followers !!
Pretending to be neutral while sharing a comfortable meeting with former Congress MP Kapil Sibal raises a few questions.
The same YouTube teacher who built his image as an independent voice during the SSC protests is now being seen alongside established political figures.
Everyone has the right to meet anyone, but when public personalities repeatedly claim complete neutrality, such associations naturally invite scrutiny.
Students deserve transparency. If you’re influencing lakhs of aspirants, people will ask whether the image being projected matches reality.

Never forgive.. never forget …
Remember how TMC defended the murder and killing of a mother of Bengal back in 2021! Shameful !
No IPAC .. this is TMC …
MAJOR TWIST IN THE ABHISHEK ATTACK CASE!
The six persons arrested for the attack on Abhishek Banerjee were close associates of former TMC MLA Lovely Maitra until just a month ago.
Was this really a political attack, or is an internal TMC power struggle now coming to light?
The arrests have raised serious questions about factional infighting within the TMC.
