An extremely full and extraordinarily distinguished life has ended.

Chief Economic Adviser, Finance Secretary, Governor RBI, Deputy Chairman Planning Commission, Finance Minister, and Prime Minister of India.

An alumnus of both Oxford and Cambridge. Winner of the prestigious Adam Smith Prize at Cambridge in 1956.

Soft-spoken, sober, and always dignified, he had a steely resolve. He was the technocratic transformer of the Indian economy through his 1991, 1992, and other budgets. His Prime Ministership saw revolutionary legislation relating to rural employment, tribal rights, reservations for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and OBCs, primary education, food security, and land acquisition. The Indo-US nuclear agreement was a landmark that enhanced India's global status. His Prime Ministership saw the highest GDP growth rate in the country’s history.

He was a gentleman to the core, and one who bore no ill-will or malice to anyone. He believed in and practised the politics of dialogue, consensus, and accommodation even under difficult circumstances. Humility and integrity defined him. Those who sought to besmirch him revealed their own true colours. Many of the initiatives he took as PM were marketed, branded, and projected as his successor's contributions. But Dr. Singh never minded and would give his trademark smile.

He recruited me to the Planning Commission in Sept 1986 and since then it, was my good fortune to have been associated intimately with him for the next 38 years.

In his inimitable and distinctive way, Dr. Manmohan Singh has left his indelible imprint on our history.

When the usual troll factory is reduced to circulating a two year old picture of mine with a sprain led foot, accompanied by picayune comments, one realises how desperate they are for a distraction! For all those expressing concern about my well-being, I am pleased to say that not only is my leg alright, but I have been attending parliament daily and spoke in the debate on the national disaster management bill yesterday.

And the opposition moaning & complaining about EVM manipulation. If they feel so strongly about it - then walk the talk! Boycott elections w/o ballot papers. Get your act together & stop crying..

@gurdeepsappal Sappalji, if only Tweets could win elections but alas.....

@PriaINC The affected parties don't seem to be concerned with the poll outcome. 🤔

[Munish Bhatia #??? @munishbhatia]

@PriaINC 😂😂😂

The gentleman was obviously not a very popular person in his own family.
Apologies in advance. No offence meant 🙏

[Munish Bhatia #??? @munishbhatia]

@SauravDassss @ravishndtv You deserve it Saurav, every word which Ravishji quoted shows his pain and millions who have been shocked.
I watched his report and read your report with tears in my eyes.
God Bless and keep it up.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

What an honour to be featured in Ravish ji’s report today. His words of appreciation mean more than any award. Despite all the problems and obstacles journalists like me face in today’s time, this is why most of us go on. Dil se, dhanyawad @ravishndtv sir.

@SauravDassss @alterlaw Absolutely agree. Very disappointed.

Tonight, the nation watches, as disturbing visuals come from the residence of the Chief Justice of India. For those who hold the sanctity of the judiciary close to their hearts, this sends an ominous signal—a dangerous erosion of the distance that must exist between the Judiciary and the Executive. A public display of blurring of lines.

More worrisome is the absolutely dangerous signal it sends to not just future Chief Justices of India, but to every Judge in the Supreme Court, High Courts and the district courts across the nation. Chief Justice Chandrachud has, with this single act, put at risk something far more important than his own legacy. He has potentially compromised the integrity of the entire institution. As head of the judiciary, he was to safeguard its independence so people perceive the judiciary to be independent. But this visual paints a polar opposite picture.

The government of the day is the biggest litigant before the courts. Such increased bon-homie between the two spells doom for democracy. The consequences ripple far beyond the courtrooms. What does this mean for the cases that lie ahead? What is astonishing is that the Bar, the very lawyers, from whichever ideology, whose duty it is to challenge, question, and hold the Bench accountable are conspicuously missing! Where is the Supreme Court Bar Association? If the institution that they practice in is perceived compromised, what happens then? Because the visual unfolding at the Chief Justice's residence is not just about optics right? It's about the survival of the very idea of judicial independence! Whispers of Judges in the High Courts, Supreme Court kowtowing for post-retirement sinecures, for cushy appointments for their children, for their own elevations are growing louder. This rot, if left unchecked, will seep deeper. Was the Chief Justice of India at all thinking about the harm this has caused for the institution he so dearly claims to love?

Except for a few honourable exceptions, our Members of Parliament too have not taken cognisance of this. Should not the Leader of the Opposition, @RahulGandhi, as conscience keeper issue a statement? Shouldn't other Parliamentarians condemn this and unequivocally reaffirm the importance of the Judiciary's independence? They did this in the past when Army Chief was issuing political statements. What stops them here? A mere comment on Twitter does no good for the third pillar. Our Parliamentarians need to step up. This is as destructive to the Samvidhaan as any other action they accuse the Modi government of.

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

The pretence to keep a one-arm distance from the Executive gone for a toss! What a fall!

Several Right Wing accounts are sharing a video of a man breaking the glass window of Vande Bharat. Some claim that this is done by 'Jihadis' to defame the Railway department. 🤡
Meanwhile, Here's a response from Senior Section engineer @RoboMoorthy, Incharge of Vande Bharat Express Tirunelveli who claims that it's a procedure to break an already damaged glass to replace it with a new one. He claims it was done at the 'pitline' which had no access to the common man. He also claims, he Created that procedure.

Good heavens ! Finally, a distinguished economist also talks of making agriculture an engine of growth. As I have always maintained it is only agriculture that can reboot the economy. Shed old economic theories as #BinaAgarwal says. https://t.co/Oi8O6thYo3

BJP MP कंगना ने देश के अन्नदाताओं को हत्यारा और बलात्कारी कहा है

उन्होंने यह भी कहा कि अमेरिका और चीन देश में अस्थिरता फैला रहे हैं

मतलब मोदी सरकार इतनी कमज़ोर है कि विदेशी ताक़तें यह सब कर रही हैं?

सरकार और BJP चुप्पी तोड़े वरना क्या यह उनका भी आधिकारिक स्टैंड माना जाये?

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

Great Master of Roster. If another Bench has already heard the same case (Justice Gavai’s Bench), convention and rules require similar cases to go before the same Bench so that conflicting orders are not passed. Of course, the Chief Justice can override these “rules”.

Fake News again by Propaganda X Handle @JaipurDialogues.

This video is from March 17 and was taken at Shanto Chattar, Jagannath University. The video shows a student staging a silent protest play on March 17 to demand the trial of those who instigated the suicide of Fairuz Abantika, a JnU student.
