@hiteshsatawat@rautsanjay61 Arrested the leak gang??? That's the whole point. The leak itself shouldn't have happened. That's the real need of the hour. And that's why people are agitating.
In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
Over 500 trees, including century-old banyan and umbar trees, may be cut for Ganeshkhind Road widening in Pune. Activists say replantation has failed before and question the loss of heritage trees. Environmentalist Vijaya Suratkar has raised concerns over wrong tree age data.

The BMC is now proposing to privatise and hand over its schools to private players (most would be builders) under the bjp regime.
What a shame!
Over the past 2 decades, we managed to turn around BMC schools into schools that had upgraded infrastructure, curricular and extra curricular activities.
From being the ONLY municipal corporation to have SSC, CBSE, IB, IGSCE and ICSE boards in the world, for free to having all our schools having access to digital education, and extra curricular activities like gender equality, astronomy clubs, nature clubs and much more…
To the bjp run BMC wanting to privatise schools!
Infact the BMC must look for schools that have been captured by private institutes or school plots that haven’t been handed back to the @mybmc by builders and take them back, to run free and quality education!

@Central_Railway please send a ticket checker in the ac train which has started at 6.36 from Cst and is heading towards Kalyan. Its crazily packed. The train is now approaching Bhandup station.
Since an FIR has been filed against me, I want to ask the Health Minister a few questions.
JP Nadda ji, why is FSSAI going after those who are raising questions instead of those accused of wrongdoing?
In a Democracy, does an ordinary citizen not have the right to question alleged irregularities in public institutions?
We exposed alleged corruption and irregularities in FSSAI’s recruitment process.
Instead of investigating the matter, FIRs are being used against those speaking in the public interest.
Is this accountability or an attempt to intimidate and silence dissent?
