The birth rate decline is actually a sign of generational healing. Do you know how many of our female ancestors dreamed of having the choices we now have? 🥺

In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, a disabled woman watched her small pottery shop get crushed during an anti-encroachment drive.

Her livelihood… shattered with every broken pot. 💔

Instead of worrying that humanities degrees don’t prepare students for jobs in today’s world [product managers finance consultants startups], we should worry that we’ve created a world with such little value for literature, art, philosophy—anything that expresses the human soul

"In Indian academia, Dalit researchers are routinely expected to unlearn their supposed 'bias' of seeing caste everywhere. Savarna scholars, meanwhile, rarely face comparable demands."

We arent just witnessing a decline; we are witnessing an unravelling of the systems that make our air breathable and our soil alive. New data from the Living Planet Index confirms a terrifying reality: global wildlife populations have plummeted by 73% in just 50 years (1970–2020).

The burden of this extraction is not shared equally. The Global South is being hollowed out to fuel endless growth:

Latin America & Caribbean: -95%
Africa: -76%
Asia-Pacific: -60%
North America: -39%
Europe & Central Asia: -35%

This isnt an accident. It is a calculated result of:
1. Industrial Food Systems: Forests cleared for meat and soy.
2. Fossil Fuels: Driving a climate collapse that bleaches reefs and melts habitats.
3. Endless Extraction: Rivers choked by dams and chemicals for profit.

Every extinct species is a warning sign. Every forest cut is a wound. We, specifically our economic systems and the wealthy elite, are acting as the asteroid.

The window to change is closing fast. We must move beyond. We must BOYCOTT FOSSIL FUELS.

83 lebanese children killed by Israel. 83.

The brutal slaughter of children while the world goes by pretending normalcy will be marked as the most depraved moment in world history.

Brahmins do not want the UGC regulations implemented in the country because they want the right to practice casteism. India has become the first country in the world where a community is opposing the Equity Committee. #UGC

I genuinely believe that much more is being made of the gap between professional specialist historians & generalist historians who write popular histories (both have history degrees) - than of the larger gap bw genuine historians & people who write popular histories w/o degrees.

Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce’s Principal Dr. Nivedita Gajanan Ekbote has posted a letter on her social media saying that Prem Birhade was not issued a letter because of his “unsatisfactory conduct and disciplinary record during his tenure as a student.” But the letter also says that he was issued 3 Letter of Recommendations and Bonafide Certificate previously; Prem had used for his admission process in the UK.

If Prem Birhade’s conduct was truly “unsatisfactory” during his time at Modern College, then how do she explain that the same college issued him not one, not two, but three Letters of Recommendation along with a Bonafide Certificate. These were used by him to apply for admission to a university in the UK.

So what changed?

Why was he fit for recommendation then, but now after securing a place abroad the college suddenly finds his character problematic?

Let’s be honest. This isn’t about discipline. This is about discomfort. Discomfort with a Dalit student daring to rise beyond the limits society quietly sets for him!

What the college has done isn’t just unethical, it’s a targeted and discriminatory act! It’s academic sabotage rooted in caste prejudice!
Instead of celebrating his success, they chose to block his path.

We need to call this what it is: caste-based discrimination. And it’s not just wrong, it’s criminal!

[Prakash Ambedkar @Prksh_Ambedkar]

Prem Birhade, a young Dalit who recently graduated from the prestigious University of Sussex, was forced to forfeit a hard-earned employment opportunity at Heathrow Airport in London.
The reason? His former college, Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce in Pune, refused to verify his academic credentials, despite him submitting all required documentation.
Why? Because Prem is a Dalit!

The college’s principal, Dr. Nivedita Gajanan Ekbote, also serves as the Maharashtra Vice-President of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the youth wing of the BJP. Given her political and ideological alignment with the Manuwadi BJP, one can only imagine the extent to which caste prejudice must have shaped her actions against SC, ST, OBC students in her academic career.

The same verification was provided when Prem had gone to London to study. When Prem requested the same verification again for his job, the college’s administration enquired of his caste!

Prem’s journey from Nardubar, a poor Tribal district, to UK was not easy one. Prem’s case is a glaring example of how systemic caste discrimination continues to haunt Dalit youth, even after they break through enormous social and economic barriers.

This case demands urgent attention and accountability. Prem’s story is not just his own, it is the story of countless Dalit students whose aspirations are crushed because of caste-discrimination.

[Yogendra Yadav @_YogendraYadav]

Three incidents — the lynching of Hariom Valmiki, the suicide of IPS officer Y. Puran Kumar, and the attack on CJI B.R. Gavai — remind us that caste is not our past; it is our present.

It wears new masks in modern India, hiding behind bureaucratic rivalry, mob suspicion, or religious outrage. But peel away these layers, and the same truth stares back — caste still determines who suffers, who is silenced, and who gets away.

Education and jobs may counter inequality, but they cannot erase hierarchy. Justice Gavai may hold the highest judicial office, yet the social order remains unshaken.

The question before us is not whether caste exists, but whether we still have the resolve — Babasaheb’s resolve — for its annihilation.

Sanatani ecosystem created ruckus over a remark made by Dalit CJI on Vishnu. They even questioned how can a Buddhist judge hear on Hindu issues.

Meanwhile, 5 judge benches of HCs & SC hearing & passing judgements on the issues related to reservations, SC/ST act & social justice.
