In May 2018, a girl named Anuradha went missing. Like every day, she had left for school in morning but did not return
Her parents waited till 6 pm, then went to police (Nagina Police Station in UP’s Bijnor)
Police assured they would find her. Her father Dayanand did not know that police should have filed an FIR. Finally, after a month when the case reached an NGO, the police was forced to file an FIR on 1 June 2018
Suspect was booked under IPC sections 363 (kidnapping) and 366 (kidnapping a woman to compel marriage)
Police found one Danish Hussain had taken the girl. They added the name to case diary. Dayanand said he had heard this name for the first time
Dayanand called up Danish after taking number from police; The latter said ‘take your girl if you can’
Within two days, Danish filed a writ petition in Allahabad High Court asking the FIR against him to be quashed
He made Anuradha, who was now Nisha Naz, as co-petitioner
Petition said Anuradha was a major and the girl’s father was harassing them
Danish produced her Aadhaar card and nikahnama as proof, which showed her as 19
Dayanand, on the other hand, produced her Class 10 certificate - issued by UP education board - which showed her age as 17 (minor)
Although Class 10 Board certificate is considered to be the most valid proof of age as per law, sessions court still ordered for a bone test and ordered a stay on Danish’s arrest till next hearing with bone test results
The girl never showed up for the bone test
The father soon learnt that she was pregnant. He gave up on the case and stopped going for hearings
In 2020, during the lockdown, the girl returned. She had suffered a miscarriage again. She cited threat from Danish, fearing he would kill her
After some months, both parties struck a compromise
The couple went to court and submitted an affidavit that they were separating because Danish had given Nisha Naz triple talaq two months earlier and she did not wish to contest it.
Danish was never booked for POCSO. He has never been arrested
Now, if they lower age of consent, Class 10 certificate will not even be available to determine age of the child. Court will order bone tests in all cases. That test allows margin of 2-3 years, which is usually kept in favour of the adult party
Attached is Class 10 certificate of girl and divorce affidavit in the above case

62% of Indian resident doctors work more than 36 hours at a stretch. 86% report severe sleep deprivation. 97% earn less than an entry level civil servant. 76% are assaulted while on duty.
We can call ourselves civilised only when we learn to treat our doctors like they treat us.
A Mumbai govt hospital advised a pregnant woman's family to consider transferring her elsewhere, as pre-delivery fetal assessment indicates her newborn will likely require NICU care, and all of their NICU beds are currently occupied.
The woman's husband called Shiv Sena (Shinde) corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who arrived with his goons and assaulted doctors and nurses.
If you understand how hospitals work, you'll know a bed not being available is not the doctor's fault. You can't ask another critical newborn to vacate a bed, nor can you provide NICU care on the floor, nor can you "arrange bed from some other dept" because a NICU bed isn't just a bed, it comes with ventilators, monitors, oxygen, infusion pumps, and other life-support equipment.
So the blame, if any, goes on the govt. But doctors are the easiest targets, and assaulting them earns politicians easy political mileage.
I know some will say, "Doctors are evil and deserve it," and that's fine. I'm not seeking sympathy. This post is for parents and medical aspirants. Unless your parents own a hospital, you choose govt jobs with better working conditions like the Army, paramilitary, or Railways, plan to pursue USMLE (or an equivalent pathway), or intend to move to private practice where you can arrange your own security, think carefully before choosing this profession.
Most govt hospitals are hellholes. You can serve patients well for decades and still end up being abused or assaulted by a tenth-pass corporator, a publicity-hungry politician chasing cameras, or patient relatives who think every death could have been prevented if only the doctor had "tried harder."
This was too depressing to watch!
Two college girls were electrocuted after rainwater under Nerul's LP Bridge became electrified due to a short circuit.
These politicians are living lavishly while ordinary people are left to die.
विटिलिगो (सफेद दाग) कोई छुआछूत या संक्रामक बीमारी नहीं, बल्कि त्वचा में मेलेनिन की कमी के कारण होने वाली एक स्थिति है।

His name is Ranjitsinh Disale.
He wanted to be an engineer. When that did not work out, his father suggested he train as a teacher instead.
In 2009, he was posted to a government primary school in Paritewadi, a small village in Solapur district, Maharashtra. The school was a crumbling building wedged between two storerooms, one of which had been used as a cattle shed.
What he found there troubled him.
Girls were being married off young instead of being sent to class. Attendance was poor. The textbooks were written in a language many of the children, who spoke Kannada at home, could not properly read.
He decided to fix all of it, starting with the books.
He learned the children’s mother tongue and rewrote their textbooks in a language they could actually understand.
Then he did something no one in India was doing at the time.
He printed unique QR codes inside the textbooks, allowing students with access to a phone to scan a page and instantly access audio poems, video lessons and practice questions.
A village school in Solapur had built a digital classroom out of paper and printed squares.
The results changed the village.
Girls’ attendance reached nearly one hundred percent. Teenage marriages in the area stopped. His QR code idea worked so well that the Maharashtra government adopted it across the state.
The following year, the national education body embedded QR codes in textbooks across the country.
In 2020, Ranjitsinh Disale won the Global Teacher Prize. He was chosen from more than twelve thousand nominations across roughly one hundred and forty countries and was the only Indian in the top ten.
The award carried one million dollars, around seven crore rupees.
Then he did something no winner had ever done before.
He announced that he would give away half the prize money, dividing it equally among the other nine finalists so that their work could continue as well.
He said teachers are the real change makers.
He meant all of them, not just himself.
A man who became a teacher only because engineering did not work out changed how an entire country learns, and then gave half his fortune to the people he had competed against.
Follow for stories India deserves to remember.
Thanks to the people who supported us in these tough times and we faced so much mental harrasment because of this . People called us antinational and Pakistani just because we raised a genuine concern and at the end Truth has prevailed .
@khuchrep Happened with me several times in the last 2 months. Filled all details within seconds, but IRCTC kept showing “connection issue” and eventually tickets got sold out. Finally had to drop the online booking plan and go for counter tickets.

Booked a Tatkal Sleeper ticket today from kanpur central to New Delhi.
Filled every detail in seconds, but IRCTC kept showing- "We are experiencing high load."
Tried repeatedly, Then my ID got locked out. Minutes later, every seat was gone.
So the question is - who actually gets these Tatkal tickets?
Genuine passengers or a system designed to fail common people every morning?
If lakhs of users face the same "high load" issue daily, why has it still not fixed it?
Or is the chaos itself benefiting someone?

My mamaji is on ventilator. He had all his life’s savings within PSU bank in FDs. All his accounts have been sealed as due to being bed ridden he could not do re-KYC in person. His kids asked bank to take humane view. Bank said if he cannot come in person, accounts will not open.
FDs in PSU banks can be useless in time of need due to KYC regulations.
@narendramodi@RBI this KYC mess is draconian. Please help in this time of need
“Why are you crying about the re-exam? It’s not like you’ll forget everything you studied in a few weeks. If you are a good student, you can study again and still score well.”
Well, that’s not how things work. Competitive examinations are not merely tests of knowledge, but also tests of timing, mental conditioning, emotional stability, and peak performance achieved after months or years of disciplined preparation. Serious students structure their entire routine around one examination date, carefully managing sleep, revision cycles, stress levels, mock tests, and mental sharpness to perform at their absolute best on that particular day.
When an exam is cancelled despite their honest effort, they are forced to recreate the same level of focus and intensity again, which is mentally exhausting and usually impossible with the same efficiency.
The hardest-working students are affected the most because they invest the greatest emotional and mental energy into preparation. After the first exam, many experience burnout, fatigue, reduced concentration, emotional numbness, and loss of momentum. Even if their knowledge remains intact, their sharpness may decline during the re-exam.
Most damaging of all, paper leaks weaken a sincere student’s faith in merit itself. When students realize that even years of hard work cannot protect them from systemic failures caused by others’ dishonesty, it creates frustration, helplessness, and distrust toward institutions.
This is why a leak-proof exam is non-negotiable, the bare minimum that can be done for hard working students.
