One of the great ironies of India is that we worship our rivers, yet rarely trust the water that flows into our homes.
Which is why Puri’s transformation fascinated me. An entire city where people can apparently drink straight from the tap.
And this change didn’t take decades. It happened over just a few years because political leadership, administrative execution and community participation all moved in sync.
A key part of the story is the role played by the ‘Jal Sathis’ local women who became guardians of the city’s water quality and helped build public trust in the system.
My #MondayMotivation this week comes from leaders & participative citizens who proved that governance can genuinely improve the quality of everyday life

If you follow me, you know that I have been sceptical of this so-called revolution in #Bangladesh from Day 1. Hasina was not a perfect ruler. And Bangladesh is a deeply divided society. Hasina was a bulwark against the most violent elements in the country. You and I know the past of Jamaat-e-Islami. The fall of Hasina left a huge vacuum which all kind of fringe and extremist elements tried to occupy. Yunus just went along with the tide. A clever ruler would have attempted to rebuild political stability, enforce rule of law and keep the extremists away (from power and the streets). But he was either clueless or complicit. Jamaat was brought back into the mainstream. New radical groups were unleashed on the streets. There was widespread violence against religious minorities, Ahmadiya Muslims and Awami League supporters--everything was brushed under the carpet of the revolution. First the Chhatra League was outlawed and then the Awami League itself, one of the two largest political parties in the country, was banned. And then they announced that they would hold a democratic election! How ironic! They ran a Kangaroo court to prosecute Hasina and her party leaders and sentenced her to death, deepening the cleavages in society. The unelected, non-representative interim government continued to stay in power more for than a year (the elections could further be delayed now). They defied the basic values of Bangladesh's liberation from Pakistan's genocidal generals (1971 is not too far awat), turned against the man who liberated them (how many times his residence was attacked!) and wanted to rewrite the Constitution. What happened in July-August 2024 was a not a revolution, it was a counterrevolution.
See for yourself what the 'naya Bangladesh' looks like. Forget Yunus, even the next government, post-election, will struggle to stabilise a country, dominated by angry, hate-filled streets. Brace for a prolonged period of instability and violence.
राजभाषा हिन्दी के व्यापक प्रचार-प्रसार को प्रोत्साहित करने की दिशा में क्षेत्रीय पासपोर्ट कार्यालय, गाज़ियाबाद द्वारा एक विशेष पहल की गई।
हिन्दी पखवाड़ा–2025 के अवसर पर कार्यालय से जारी किए गए पासपोर्ट के साथ @moon_lipi द्वारा डिज़ाइन किए गए विशेष बुकमार्क संलग्न किए गए।
इन बुकमार्क्स पर हिन्दी भाषा की सुप्रसिद्ध पंक्तियों को कैलीग्राफी शैली में सजाया गया है। इस अभिनव प्रयास का उद्देश्य पासपोर्ट धारकों के बीच हिन्दी भाषा की सुंदरता और महत्त्व को जन-जन तक पहुँचाना तथा हिन्दी के प्रति गौरव और अपनत्व की भावना को और सशक्त बनाना है।
