Why the DS is going to do everything to disrupt India soon. How they may do it is in the end.

Monsoon session of India's parliament is starting. FCRA bill is about to be passed. It will to some extent reduce foreign meddling inside India by cutting the money flow to so called non-profit orgs that take up this and that issue to derail strategic development, reforms, and stability of the govt.

This means the DS will have reduced ability to keep India in check. They can't allow it. They need to derail the parliament by creating other issues, protests, and anarchy. That's why they may activate all their agents and politics inside India plus people and media assets outside India to create trouble for GoI.

I expect some fugitive India wants, but who's given refuge by the DS outside India, to be used by the DS to create fake stories of corruption, allegations of scam, and their infiltrated international media to publish hit job reports. Plus, of course, they will try to add fuel to the protests India is already facing.

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. :)

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

The CJI made a "cockroach" remark for some reason, which was seen as mocking the youth who criticize the judiciary and the system.

Organic outrage followed. Abhijit Dipke, a social media handler of a political party thought smartly and created a satirical Instagram account called the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). It was meant purely as satire. Since the cockroach comment was trending in the news, people followed the CJP account on a whim.

Seeing its potential, the political party Dipke was associated with jumped it and took over the initiative. They hired media agencies and influencers to promote the account further by generating hype, curiosity and making it the "in thing." Consequently, more people followed, triggering a bandwagon effect. Soon, the follower count reached crores.

Then, the political think tank behind CJP concluded that they had enough support. They reasoned that if even 1% of their 2.5 crore followers turned up for a physical protest, they could topple the govt, or bring a huge shock at least. A massive buildup was engineered for Dipke’s homecoming to India, mimicking the historical hype of Gandhi’s return from South Africa.

They anticipated such a massive crowd that they expected Dipke to be welcomed by crores of people at the airport. Instead, nobody showed up. Nobody turned up at the protest site either. It was a massive disappointment for a party with 2.5 crore urban followers to be incapable of finding even 50 organic protestors.

To compensate, they brought in the same old compulsive protestors to fill the site, leftist student unions, LGBT groups, farmer leaders, and aadarsh musalmaan groups, but the movement failed to kick off.

Next, they found Sonam Wangchuk, a man with a relatively clean past, apparently no political inclinations, and a public image popularized by a movie (which wasn't actually based on his life, but worked anyway). They convinced him to go on a hunger strike.

The party behind the movement waited 15 to 17 days for Wangchuk to lose weight, ensuring he looked frail, weak, and barely surviving. Once he reached that state, they launched a massive Instagram and Facebook campaign to emotionally manipulate and guilt the masses into supporting the movement through him. To a certain extent, they have been successful.

I don't know if Sonam is aware of it or not, but knowingly or unknowingly, he has become the face of a manufacturd movement.

P.S. Dharmendra Pradhan should have been sacked. I have said this multiple times too. Why? Simply because he is incompetent, not because someone is sitting on a hunger strike demanding it. Wangchuk might be a sincere guy, but the people pulling the strings behind this movement are not. And trust me, if something happens to Wangchuk, these people will be the happiest because it gives them a tragedy they can capitalize on to reignite a dying movement.

[Priyanka Choudhary @unstoppable_CH]

Sonam Wangchuk & Co. is trying hard to create ANARCHY in India🇮🇳 while protesting at Jantar Mantar, using HUNGER STRIKE as a weapon to get empathy & support from naive Indians.

Yesterday, I was not curious about his history and searched him down. Let's read what I find out -

He is an Engineer, activists and environmentalist. He holds two organisations in Ladakh - SECMOL & HIAL.

In February 2020, He visited Bangladesh🇧🇩. He met Mohmmad Yunus in British High Commission, Bangladesh. [Md. Yunus was the same guy who formed the Interim Government in Bangladesh after a violent Gen-Z protest in 2024]

In February 2025, He visited Pakistan🇵🇰 in an event organised by DAWN in Islamabad with his wife.

On 22 April 2025, Pakistan had attacked India🇮🇳 in Pahalgam, in which 26 Indians had lost their lives.

In September 2025, Ladakh Police had arrested a Pakistan Intelligence Operative (PIO) in Ladakh. As per DGP Ladakh, the PIO was linked with SONAM WANGCHUK and was passing information back to Pakistan.

In September 2025, just after the arrest of PIO, BJP office and premises of Ladakh Hill Council was vandalized. Four civilians had lost their lives and more than 50 were injured in Ladakh.

MHA cancelled the FCRA licence of SECMOL. SECMOL has nine accounts whereas six accounts were undeclared.

MHA kicked off a CBI enquiry against HIAL for not declaring four account out of seven accounts held by the NGO. HIAL recived 1,50,00,000 of foreign funds without FCRA registration. An amount of 6,50,00,000 was directly transferred from HIAL to Sonam Wangchuk's private firm Sheshyon Innovation. He allegedly spent 2,30,00,000/- for his foreign trips in between 2021-24.

Sonam Wangchuk allegedly has nine personal account, but declared only one in Income Tax Department. His private firm Sheshyon Innovation has a turnover of 9,85,00,000 in the assessment year 2024-25.

Why is Sonam Wangchuk protesting at Jantar Mantar? Does he really care about the NEET and Students?

My understanding -

The new FCRA Bill will completely destroy his foreign funding from different sources.

His all the NGOs and private firm are under the radar and he may have to SHUTDOWN.

He tried his best in Ladakh to create unrest in India and now he is answerable to his bosses who are paying him hefty amount.

I too want resignation of Dharmendra Pradhan but I can't support Sonam Wangchuk. He is not a SAINT.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) declares the result of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate), NEET (UG) 2026. The result has been declared in time so that the medical-admission and counselling calendar for candidates stays on track.

11.21 lakh candidates qualify. More than 58 per cent of qualified candidates are women. Examination conducted in 13 languages

[Amit Kumar Sindhi @AMIT_GUJJU]

Now, one by one, even the frauds from the coaching industry are showing up at the CJP protest.

Yesterday, it was Abhinay Maths. Today, it's Ashu Ghai, aka Ashu Sir.

Khan Sir and Awadh Ojha are coming tomorrow as well.

None of them went to Rajendra Nagar when students lost their lives by drowning during the AAP government's tenure.

But now, all of a sudden, they seem to be deeply concerned about students.

This was the crowd on Tahir Hussain’s building terrace on 25 Feb 2020

Ankit Sharma went missing on evening of 25 Feb

His heavily mutilated body was fished out the next day from a clogged drain on the right side of Hussain’s building

I visited the site the same day - locals were sure that he had been kidnapped and dragged inside this building and lynched

Tahir Hussain and four others have now been convicted of murdering him “because he was Hindu”

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

Never forget how India’s so called 'liberal ecosystem' defended Tahir Hussain.

When Intelligence Bureau officer Ankit Sharma was murdered during the Delhi riots in 2020 and his body was recovered from a drain, the ecosystem did not stand with Ankit’s family.

It rushed to manufacture victimhood for the accused.

The likes of Rana Ayyub declared that Tahir had been arrested merely “because he’s a Hussain.” Others portrayed him as an innocent Muslim being framed by a vindictive Hindu-majoritarian state. Every uncomfortable fact was dismissed as propaganda. Every demand for justice was labelled communal.

Today, a Delhi court - not the BJP, not television anchors, not “WhatsApp University” - has convicted former AAP councillor Tahir Hussain of murder, kidnapping, promoting enmity and rioting in the killing of Ankit Sharma.

The mask has fallen.

For this ecosystem, the presumption of innocence is sacred when the accused suits its politics. But a murdered Hindu becomes an inconvenient footnote, his family’s grief erased because acknowledging his killers would destroy their preferred narrative of the Delhi riots.

They did not merely get the story wrong.

They attempted to reverse the roles of victim and perpetrator to turn a convicted murderer into a symbol of persecution and bury Ankit Sharma twice: once in a drain, and again beneath their propaganda.

Never forget the crime.

And never forget those who defended the criminal.

Guess who the author of this letter is?

Irene Khan- Bangladesh's Permanent Representative and Ambassador to the United Nations.

Yes, Congress is quoting a Bangladeshi propagandist to question the Indian govt.

It's obvious that she has serious issues with the SIR and Gyanesh Kumar. After all, members of her country are being removed from India's voter list.

But look at Congress, can they ever be pro-India?

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

Cancer patient was about to die. She pleaded. Her plea has been listed 57 times. The court has still not heard it. Teesta Setalvad was about to be jailed. She pleaded. Her plea was listed out of turn. The court heard it at midnight.

Cancer patient is dead. Teesta is alive.

Aaftab Amin Poonawala — who chopped Shraddha Walkar into 35 pieces and stored them in a fridge — has been granted a court date cancellation so he can appear for his MA Sociology exam at Tihar Jail.

The trial has been dragging since 2023. Shraddha's father, who fought for justice, passed away in 2025 without seeing it delivered.

Aaftab is pursuing higher education. The case is nowhere near conclusion.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

On Nov 1, 2025, Amaira, a Class 4 student, died by suicide after jumping from the fourth floor of the Neerja Modi School in Jaipur.

She had been bullied for 18 months, with classmates targeting her using "bad words," many of which carried sexual undertones. However, her class teacher repeatedly dismissed complaints from both Amaira and her parents, telling them instead that she needed to adjust to the other kids.

The parents have now released the school CCTV footage they obtained to the public. The footage reveals that even on the day of her death, Amaira approached the teacher multiple times for help but was ignored.

Hard to believe that teachers, even at such posh schools, are not trained to handle severe bullying or recognize a child in deep psychological distress. Totally preventable death.
