🚨If the protest site’s been cleared and you need somewhere to sleep tonight- Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, Rakab Ganj Sahib, Sis Ganj Sahib and other gurdwaras across Delhi have their doors open.

No questions asked. We have never once turned a person away at the door.

At this point, it’s about the lives of the future of our nation. It’s about us.

I am a student, and at one point, we all were students. Every child deserves access to education, safety, and a fair chance at life. These are not privileges—they are fundamental rights.

The students and children who lost their lives were meant to be the future of our country. Their dreams, their potential, and their futures should have been protected.

This is not about promoting or opposing any political party. It is about speaking up for what truly matters—education, the environment, safety, and accountability. These issues affect every one of us, regardless of our beliefs.

I take immense pride in representing my country. That is why it is deeply heartbreaking to see the students suffer like this. We owe them more. We owe every child a future where they can learn, grow, and dream without fear.

ASHUTOSH RANKA TAKES THE BAIT AND BREAKS IT 🔥

REPORTER: Why only Sonam Wangchuk fasting? Why not CJP too?

RANKA 🎯: Ridiculous question. Abhijeet, Saurav and I wanted to fast too. Sonam sir stopped us: “Then who will run the protest?” Media, stage, security, mobilisation. Someone has to keep it alive.

REPORTER: But...

RANKA 🔥: Ask why the govt has not met even one fasting student. Ask why Pradhan is still protected when even BJP voters want accountability.

REPORTER: Manoj Tiwari commented...

RANKA 😂: Stop. We are talking education. Don’t drag “Rinkiya ke Papa” here and lower the conversation.

Sarthak Goswami has exposed the ugly truth behind the ethanol narrative.

He travelled to Byrnihat to find out why a town with fewer than one lakh residents is more polluted than Delhi, Ghaziabad, and even Lahore.

What he found was shocking: over 80 factories crammed into a small area, relentlessly pumping pollutants into the air.

The irony? Many of these factories produce ethanol—the very fuel being promoted as a solution to pollution.

Now the question is simple: can Nitin Gadkari answer these concerns with facts, instead of branding critics as anti-national?

[Karthik 🇮🇳 @beastoftraal]

"I was trolled endlessly by people online, some even called me anti-national" —This is the trouble when the country, in a deranged trance, shows allegiance to a person and a political party, forgetting that the actual country is beyond and far bigger than that individual and party.

No one failed India like the Indian Judiciary did.
No not, Modi, not Shah, Adani, Ambani, Gyanesh or Media.

The reason why 80 lac voters couldn't exercise their franchise in the just concluded Bengal polls, who do you think allowed this to happen?

The Supreme Court is taking the nation to HELLHOLE.

This is the real truth behind India’s Greatest Fall.
Shame.

A key finding from AIIMS New Delhi research highlights that increased screen time in children under one year of age is associated with a higher risk of autism by the age of three.

The study suggests that greater screen exposure may increase the likelihood of autism-related concerns. Experts recommend keeping children below 18 months away from screens.

New India has everything: hottest cities, dirtiest air, shrinking forests, and people still believe that a leader with no real degree, no real answers, and a teleprompter for basic sentences can solve the country’s problems. Cute!

[Darab Farooqui @darab_farooqui]

Look at this map.

Nagpur 45°. Ahmedabad 44°. Prayagraj 43°. Delhi 42°. The entire country is a single dark red mass. This is not a heatwave. This is a country that was told its forests were fine.

And this is April. Not May. Not June. The hottest months have not even arrived yet.

The past few days have been hell. So I did what I always do when something bothers me. I went looking for answers.

What I found was a policy con job that has been running for over two decades.

But before I explain what happened, let's clear some definitions.

A garden is not a forest. An orchard is not a forest. A plantation is not a forest.

A forest is a living system. Soil, water, fungi, insects, birds, mammals, decades of accumulated complexity, specific to its land and climate. It cannot be designed. It cannot be harvested. It regulates water, cools land, shelters hundreds of species. It takes decades to become what it is.

You can plant a forest. But it will take decades to become one.

In 2001, India's forests were disappearing. The Indian state, led by the Vajpayee government, faced a choice. Protect what remained, or change what the numbers said.

It chose the numbers.

The Forest Survey of India quietly changed the definition of what a forest means. Any land with 10% tree canopy cover and more than one hectare in area was now a forest. Your mango orchard. A coconut plantation in Tamil Nadu. A tea garden in Assam. Lodhi Garden in Delhi.

All forests, on paper.

The FSI will tell you that 10% canopy cover follows international norms. The FAO also uses 10% as its threshold. But the FAO's definition comes with a crucial exclusion that India's FSI quietly dropped. 

The FAO explicitly states that fruit tree plantations, oil palm plantations, olive orchards, and agroforestry systems are not forests. The World Bank says the same. India adopted the number but discarded the exclusion. 

It took the cover of international legitimacy while gutting the standard that gave it meaning.

The government will also tell you this was never hidden. That it was publicly stated in every report, disclosed in Parliament. That is technically true. But a disclosure buried in a technical government document is not transparency. It is the appearance of transparency. 

I did not know any of this until I went looking. Neither do most Indians whose forests, whose land, whose air this directly concerns. The con is not in what was hidden from experts. It is in what was never explained to the people it was done to.

This is not a technicality. This is the con.

It was a trick as old as power itself. If you cannot fix the problem, fix the measurement.

For ten years after 2001, Congress governed India. Two terms, two environment ministers, including Jairam Ramesh, one of the more serious ones. They saw the numbers. They knew what the numbers meant.

They did nothing.

Because the lie was convenient. India looked good in international climate negotiations. The fiction of a greening India served everyone in power, so everyone in power kept it. Congress did not create this lie. It simply chose, year after year, to live inside it.

The BJP is different.

When they returned to power in 2014, they came with something Congress never had. An absolute majority, and no coalition compulsions. They did not merely inherit the lie. They built on it. And in 2023, they legislated it.

The Forest Conservation Amendment Act of 2023 removed legal protection from "deemed forests." Forests that existed outside the official definition but were ecologically real. 

Forests that Adivasi communities had lived in and depended on for generations. Forests that cooled land, held water, sheltered species. They were not on the right list. Since the amendment, forest destruction on Adivasi land has accelerated. 

The people who knew these forests best, who had protected them longest, now watch them being cleared. Legally.

TMC MP Saayoni Ghosh TEARS BJP APART in Parliament 🔥

Sayani Ghosh's Fiery Speech—Which has Left Modi and Shah Completely Speechless!

In a Fiery Takedown, She Blasted Them For:
• Turning the entire Parliament into their personal BJP party office

• Ruthlessly silencing Opposition voices (Rahul, Akhilesh, Abhishek & more)

• Controlling cameras, mics, and every single proceeding

• Destroying Democracy with a partisan Speaker doing their dirty work

Modi and Amit Shah sat there like Statues 😂

This is Raw, Fearless Opposition in Action.

Location: Gaur City 2, Noida

This man was drinking alcohol in a public place and when he saw a Muslim couple (the girl was wearing a hijab), he started asking for their names and identification and harassed them. Seeing this, the woman present there and other people protested against him.
