Some of the best coverage about IITs is coming from inside them - through their student media bodies. Facing an increasingly hostile administration, student mags mix caution with audacity.
I recently profiled two of them - @InsightIITB and @voxiitk.

True. And this pic was taken on a date when Mumbai's beaches would have otherwise been inundated with high monsoon waves. Every tree cut contributes to this infernal heat. Btw, it is also telling that the beach is full of men. The women and girls don't even have this escape.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated in a Bloomberg interview that the India AI Summit was "extremely disorganised".
About the chaos on stage: "There was Narendra Modi up there suddenly telling everyone to hold hands..." (collapses with laughter).
When I was dating my wife, I once said, “Raj dharm ka palan kariye. Raj dharm. Raja ke liye, shasak ke liye, praja mein bhed nahi ho sakta.”
She replied, “Hum bhi wahi kar rahe hain, sahab,” while making sure we both got an equal amount of pasta.
That was the moment I knew I was going to marry her.
Heat, humidity forcing slum dwellers to sleep on the beach in Mumbai. This is the same state where forest apartment tweaked norms and made chopping of trees easier.
The more that India is seen as Israel's friend, the more problems it will create. (And what is this: "Hindu scholars from Modi’s power base are due to visit Israel this month to meet officials and academics to learn about Zionism.")
Unfortunately, much of the Indian media treated the joke as a solemn U.S. pledge to defend India. No wonder American leaders have become skilled at stroking India’s collective ego — or that of its prime minister.
These photos truly capture Maharashtra's current development model.
Unprecedented heat levels forcing citizens to sleep on beaches. No State intervention. But in the backdrop, you can see a coastal road being constructed for 20,000 crores, after chopping off 45,000 mangroves.

Just one figure from @rahulgandhi ji’s talk at Kota says it all:
🔹Money extracted by the system from NEET students and their families (22 lakh students per year) = 1.32 Lakh Crore.
🔹India’s entire education budget = 1.40 Lakh Crore.
🔹I have only one thing to add to it: Loans forfeited by the government of India to its favourite businessmen: 16 Lakh crores.

Trump non committal on extending Russian oil sanctions waiver, that expire today (June 17), says much will depend on where price of oil settles due to US Iran peace deal.
From @TheAthleticFC: There are 98 players born in France at the World Cup, and there are more French-born players (76) representing other nations than any other country at the tournament. Senegal’s squad has 10 of them. https://t.co/wut41fW7FS
As brilliant and utterly irrepressible as Lionel Messi is, there have been a few occasions during his illustrious career when opponents — and certainly opposition fans — have suggested that he has received “special treatment” from referees.
What is certain is that, between scoring his first and second goals against Algeria, he got lucky. A challenge on Algeria captain Aissa Mandi, who was caught by Messi on his right calf and Achilles tendon, could have earned at least a yellow card — and plausibly a red card — but Polish referee Szymon Marciniak was content to award a free kick.
It was a strange incident. Mandi was in control of the ball, going nowhere fast, and there was little prospect of dispossessing him from Messi’s position. To make a lunge like that, with his studs up, seemed incomprehensible, never mind dangerous.
Special treatment? At the very least it was lenient refereeing. A yellow card would perhaps have been the most widely expected outcome — a red card second — but Messi was certainly lucky to get away scot-free.

Jasveer, I'm on a telegram group with 3533 small/medium/large business owners. Before the ban different people:
1. posted about a business his 13 year old son has started, asking others to encourage him by buying something from it
2. posted about other group members visiting his showroom in Kolkata
3. asked for a consultant to help with 5S and six sigma for their manufacturing setup
4. asked if anyone deals in intercom systems. four people responded
5. asked for online and offline marketing businesses for their jewelry brand
I could go on. Most of that group is noise for me, but I did a course and this is the alumni group that operates as a marketplace and occasionally something useful for me pops up.
Fact is that telegram is used for business more than whatsapp with its group limits is. But you're looking at it with your biased narrow mindset, and that is disappointing.
Platforms are afforded protections in India because if they were liable for the actions of users, no platform, including the one you posted on, will survive that liability.
