Justice Muralidhar is now known internationally as a fearless judge with integrity. For our regime, though, he was someone to be transferred in the middle of the night because he asked inconvenient questions about the Delhi riots
Deeply saddened and shocked by the passing of K. Bhagyaraj sir.
It feels especially unreal because I had the opportunity to meet him recently at Khushbu’s daughter’s wedding and spend some time with him.
Bhagyaraj sir was a creative genius whose contributions to Indian cinema go far beyond what many people know. He was the original creator behind stories that went on to become landmark Hindi films and career-defining milestones for so many of us.
Woh Saat Din, adapted from his work, became one of the most important films of my career. Mohabbat, with its story, screenplay and dialogues by Bhagyaraj sir, not only gave us a memorable film but also helped launch the journey of Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria as producers through Maruti International.
Later, Beta, another adaptation of his brilliant writing, became a blockbuster and remains one of the defining films of its era. Boney and I had acquired the rights and passed them on to Indra Kumar and Ashok Thakeria during a difficult phase in their journey. The film went on to become a massive success, with all of us receiving tremendous recognition.
Another remarkable example of Bhagyaraj sir’s brilliance was Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Directed by David Dhawan, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, and starring Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra, the film’s story and screenplay were by Bhagyaraj sir and adapted into Hindi by Anees Bazmee. The film became a major success and marked another important milestone in Akshay Kumar’s career.
The seeds of all these successes were planted by Bhagyaraj sir. We adapted his stories for Hindi audiences, but the true creator was always him. His writing touched countless lives and careers, mine included. He helped shape the journeys of actors, filmmakers and producers across generations, often without receiving the recognition he truly deserved.
I will always remain grateful for what he contributed to my career and to Indian cinema as a whole. His legacy will live on through the stories he created and the countless people he inspired.
My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. He will be deeply missed.
Rest in peace, Bhagyaraj sir. 🙏

Reporter: Have u heard of Ram Mandir Donation scam?
Bhakt: Don't call it a scam or theft, those who were needy took the money,don't make it an issue to defame Sanatan
Those who took money from Ram, Ram will take it back on its own,don't make it an issue"
Peak Bhakt Mentality !
In the egg-in-midday-meal debate, the most insensitive comments I’ve seen so far:
“There is no malnutrition in 🇮🇳 .”
“They can eat egg at home.”
“Protein intake isn’t the government’s job.”
I served on a school committee where 10-11-year-olds chewed gutkha to suppress hunger.
ISK-CON is one of the most evil organizations out there. I still remember the @EPSTamilNadu giving breakfast contracts for govt schools to these criminals.
Eggs are THE best source of proteins for the masses. Growing brain and body needs lots of them.
Our country needs more smart kids, not dumb.

Her voice, resilience, and spirit are an inspiration to the entire nation.
One lie against PM Meloni and she released a video calling Donald Trump a liar. Meanwhile, Trump has lied hundreds times about India. Narendra Modi never had the guts to openly counter a single lie.
CM is Christian, Tamilnadu Govt has Congress in alliance and the order is passed that Temple funds will be used for religious purpose only.
UP has double engine govt of BJP and Temple funds have got looted and that too of Ram Temple.
Being religious and Dhongi are different!
नागपुर का एक बच्चा एक महीने से NEET re-exam की तैयारी कर रहा था।
कल परीक्षा से ठीक एक दिन पहले उसने admit card डाउनलोड किया। उसका सेंटर निकला - अबू धाबी।
न पासपोर्ट, न परिवार के पास विदेश भेजने के पैसे, न अब कोई वक़्त बचा है। वो रातभर रोता रहा, और परीक्षा देने से ही मना कर रहा है - क्या इस तनाव की कल्पना भी की जा सकती है?
आखिर ऐसा हुआ भी कैसे? कल किसी भी छात्र को सेंटर तक न पहुँच पाने की शिकायत नहीं होनी चाहिए। NTA असल में देश के बच्चों और उनके माता-पिता का सिर्फ़ धीरज test कर रही है।
जो system एक बच्चे को अपने ही शहर में एक centre नहीं दे सकती, उल्टा विदेश भेज सकती है - उसे परीक्षा करवाने का कोई हक़ नहीं।
कोटा में मैंने यही कहा था - यह अब शिक्षा व्यवस्था नहीं रही। यह एक पूरी पीढ़ी के पैसे, समय और मानसिक शांति की वसूली है।
हमारे बच्चों के भविष्य के साथ जुआ खेलना बंद कीजिए। वो एक संवेदनशील, ज़िम्मेदार और जवाबदेह शिक्षा व्यवस्था और परीक्षा के अधिकारी हैं - और हम ये उन्हें दिलवा कर रहेंगे।

ALAS, THE WORST FEARS APPEAR TO BE COMING TRUE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SCAM IN THE NAME OF RAM LALLA. AND HERE'S WHY IT IS MORE THAN AN ACT OF CRIMINAL IMPROPRIETY.
The latest is that the SIT is preparing legal action against Champat Rai aide Tinnu Yadav in the Ram Mandir donation theft probe, sources say. Cases may also be registered against donation-counting staff and bank officials. Arrests are possible. Complainant Anil Mishra alleges no receipt was issued for donated gold and claims he was later told the gold had already been melted down.
It is deeply painful to be reporting these details. The Ram Mandir isn't just a bricks-and-mortar tribute to a deity. It is much more than that. It is a symbol that consecrates the reclamation of Hindu civilizational heritage. A heritage that was first endangered by settler colonisation and later by a political ideology that wrongly portrayed any attempt to reclaim or appreciate the grandeur of Hindu civilization as an assault on secularism.
That is precisely why these allegations are so troubling. One would have thought that the symbols of this great project to reclaim Hindu heritage would have been safest in the hands of those who led the movement. It is now incumbent upon these self-styled "guardians of the faith" to prove themselves by ensuring they do not become complicit in the very acts of vandalism and desecration they have long fought against.
Justice Denied Since 1988 - When will the system wake up? 😔
A heartbreaking video from Maihar, Madhya Pradesh, has left social media users emotional and angry. Mr. Tripathi, an elderly man, claims he has been fighting since 1988 against the alleged illegal encroachment of his land.
For nearly 38 years, he says he has been running from one government office to another, yet his case remains unresolved.
The incident has reignited concerns about corruption, bureaucratic delays, and the struggles faced by common citizens in India's justice system.
“Whether I am a Dalit or anybody else, I have equal rights as much as Mr. Mohan Bhagwat has. It is very clear, the language, the way Mr Ramesh Jigrini says Dalits should not question RSS. It just shows the Dalits in BJP are subservient to the RSS.... Why? Dalits are not part of the society? Dalits are not part of the constitution? And who is anybody to tell me what to question or not to question? As an individual, I have my rights. And as the Home Minister of Karnataka, I am very careful in what I am saying. If you are running such a big organisation in my state, you will have to register. Or you will have to come and say under which law you are doing all this work. And I don't care about Mr. Ramesh Jigrini or anybody else has to say about it. I am duty bound, I am constitutionally bound.” ▪️When asked about Mahesh Jethmalani questioning ... @PriyankKharge clearly stated, “ See, why are advocates talking? Are they mouthpieces of RSS? I have asked a very clear question to an organization as a Home Minister. They better come and answer me. You want to send them? Let them come. Designate them. What is this nonsense of writing editorials, writing on Twitter, giving your opinion there, here ? It doesn't matter to me. I have written to an organization. They ( RSS ) are answerable to me.Till then please don't let loose your slaves to discuss with me. ” Strong statement by @PriyankKharge
Anti-democratic: TVK government has stopped the live telecast of Tamil Nadu Assembly proceedings. In the past two press meets, the Assembly Speaker JCD Prabhakar clearly hinted that there would not be live telecast of Assembly proceedings. Whenever I had a chance, I had been questioning the former Speaker M Appavu in Tirunelveli about DMK’s election promise of live-telecast. Now the new regime has also killed it.
So much for ‘transparency” and “new politics.”
People of Tamil Nadu deserve to see what their elected representatives are doing inside the Assembly. This decision is anti-democratic and a betrayal of public trust.
