Does the Supreme Court now want everybody to take bullets?
When these kinds of statements are made by the judges of the Supreme Court against opposition leaders, what hope does it leave for the common person?
कितनी शर्म की बात है कि देश भर में छोटे-छोटे बच्चों को भ्रष्टाचार के खिलाफ प्रदर्शन करना पड़ रहा है। उन्हें कहना पड़ रहा है कि क्लास में बेंच लगवाओ, पानी और शौचालय की व्यवस्था करो। भ्रष्टाचार बंद करो। सोचिए प्रशासन और सरकारों में बैठे लोग कितने भ्रष्ट और कितने निर्लज्ज हैं!

Why is India’s middle class falling short of investor expectations?
Why does the ladder from India’s today to tomorrow appear broken?
What do weak consumption, a broken education economy, and rising youth anxiety reveal about the economic risks we may be ignoring?
The why behind what we’re seeing—and what comes next. #artham @AUTheBonus

INTERESTING: the company which got the contentious Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway project has been declared a non-performer by NHAI but has links with a BJP MP and has got Rs 3500 crore worth of contracts. @Simerchawla20 reports
During this Kanwar Yatra, a CRPF jawan was brutally assaulted by a group of Kanwariyas at Mirzapur railway station. They punched and kicked him in broad daylight over a ticket argument while he was trying to board the Brahmaputra Mail.
Seven were arrested after the video went viral.
Remember what the police did to the peaceful students at Jantar Mantar? The lathi charges, the force, the injuries… And now?
Where is everyone? Why the silence this time?

81 years ago today, the U.S. B-29 bomber Enola Gay dropped the world's first deployed atomic bomb. A hundred thousand people were killed. John Hersey's pioneering piece, "Hiroshima," tells the stories of six who lived. A young woman working in a tin plant, a doctor at a private hospital, a widow, a German missionary, a young surgeon, and a local reverend—all wondered why they had survived the blast, which arrived as a soundless flash. "It seemed a sheet of sun," one recalled. Revisit Hersey's intimate, deeply reported piece following those survivors through the deadly day, and the ruin and recovery that followed: https://t.co/FDIG4Pqwyh
The Modi-Meta crackdown on criticism of BJP, now extends to journalists, activists, fact-checkers, satirists, politicians including the former Delhi CM whose entire Instagram account is now restricted in India. Last week, our Insta posts on the student protest was blocked too.
India's Gen Z mobilised on Instagram. The state answered with an off-the-books internet shutdown, questionable takedowns of posts showing police excesses, and a fact-check unit calling verified footage fake.
When mobile data died, protesters moved to Bitchat: Bluetooth, no servers, untappable.
India's share of Bitchat's global downloads jumped from ~1% the month before to 85% in the week of July 17–23. (Sensor Tower/TechCrunch)
Then GitHub got a takedown notice.

Congratulations to all the newly appointed office bearers of CJP!
With 65% of India’s population under the age of 35, youth voices can no longer be ignored.
This young team will work toward changing the country's political discourse to place youth at the center.
Let’s remain humble and grounded because the biggest challenge is not becoming the very thing we are fighting against.
