No good deed goes unpunished in #NewIndia
Absolutely believable that someone extorting 20-25k a month from multiple businesses was slaving as a delivery executive to earn another 25k.
Must have ran out of businesses to extort.
The most tone deaf person in the country atm...they arrested high school kids today because they were peacefully protesting for their papers to be reevaluated and he is asking them to develop new hobbies and join astronomy clubs.
3 coaching centres sealed in Prayagraj over alleged involvement in paper leak protests
At least three coaching centres where teachers and students had allegedly participated in the recent agitation against mismanagement and leaks in recruitment examinations have been sealed by the local administration in Prayagraj.
This level of hate is not even seen in fringe in other countries.
But in India, even a major ruling party politician can arbitrarily ruin the lives of children just based on identity.
What India is going through right now is not normal even benchmarking to very low standards.
Yesterday, the Bombay High Court discharged four men accused of carrying out the 2006 Malegaon Blasts. The accused all allegedly belonged to Abhinav Bharat. The explosions claimed 31 lives and injured 312. The blasts specifically targeted Muslims. Yet, maybe out of habit, the investigation agencies first arrested nine Muslims, who were eventually acquitted in 2016. In yesterday’s order, the High Court criticised the NIA for its botched investigation.
Is the NIA going to appeal the order before the Supreme Court? Highly unlikely. This is a betrayal of all the victims and their families. This will be yet another terror attack where we will not even see its perpetrators being punished. To be a Muslim in India is to only wait for justice.
This case has followed a similar trajectory to the 2008 blasts case. Rohini Salian, NIA’s prosecutor was on record saying that NIA asked her to go soft on the accused.
The prime minister of India must not use an address to the nation to make a partisan speech (about a failed bill), especially when elections are underway in some states.
That is a clear abuse of his position as the prime minister.
What a disgrace.
While Trump is threatening to commit genocide against Iranians, there has not been a single nationwide protest in America against this war. Whatever Trump and the American ruling classes do it is made possible by a people that silently goes along with it.
My 3-year-old said she wished we had a pet. I reminded her we have a dog and wow the genuine surprise on her face as it dawned on her that our dog is a pet and not just some other guy who lives here.
People from the Global South immigrate to western countries because the West makes it impossible to thrive in our own. While here you endure the most vicious nativism while killing yourself to find jobs whose taxes fund the killing of your families back home. An insane cycle.
americans see their government bombing a sovereign nation and its nothing but me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me how does this this effect me me me me me me me me me me me me an evil soulless people just like their israeli kin
+ As state after state went to the ruling party, the whispers about fading popularity and widespread discontent grew more muted.
After Bihar, there will be few questions about governance or performance. If you're seen as an invincible winner again, that becomes the only story.
