If you make 1.5 billion Indians start worrying about how to prove their citizenship, you put them on the defensive and incentivise them to complain much less about jobs, prices, breathtaking corruption, crumbling governance, piss-poor education, etc. Masterstroke, of course! 👍

It is no secret that the coaching industry is dirty. But the extent they will go to claim successful candidates and disown those who couldn’t make the cut is astounding. The top 0.1% are the ‘Toppers batch’, scouted and enrolled at no fees and all facilities provided. The bottom 98% is called the ‘Revenue Batch’, also fondly called the ‘Bread and butter’.

In the Re-NEET exam, there is one candidate from Ludhiana who isn’t coached by any of the big coaching companies. He is getting a score of 715 and studied at ‘Education Square’, a local coaching institution. He is AIR 1. All the biggies are now after this boy to purchase him. The price is in 8 figures.

Recently, a JEE Top 10 from hyderabad was coached by one institution for 3 years and claimed by another after paying off the candidate a princely sum of Rs.2 Crores. The irony is that a mail was sent to the institution that actually coached him not to use his name in any publicity material while the parasite institution claims him. Even the mail access is controlled by the purchaser and legal notices are liberally sent. The family was lodged in a hotel with no outside contact, till things subside.

And those who didn’t make the cut never existed!!

Why Did POCSO Accused Bandi Sai Bageerath Get An Interim Bail??

POCSO accused and son of union minister X, Bandi Sai Bageerath was granted interim bail till 26th June 2026.

The entire country was shocked that a POCSO accused is out on a bail.

Reason Given To The Court: Exams

But what exams in India are held in June??

Bandi Bageerath was a student of Mahindra University in Hyderabad, BBA batch of 2023.

He failed in multiple subjects during the course. He is not from the batch of 2026 or even 2025 or 2024. But 2023!!

Again- these exams aren’t final exams or supplementary exams even. These are SPECIAL Supplementary Exams.

The actual supplementary exams were held in May 2026.
19th May to 30th May.

Bandi Bageerath was arrested/surrendered on 16th May 2026. An email record submitted to the court for the interim bail states that Mahindra University informed Bandi Bageerath of these “special” supplementary exams on 15th May 2026.

Last date for paying exam fee: 18th June 2026
Interim Bail filed: 19th June 2026
Special Supplementary Exams being on: 22nd June 2026.

You cannot miss the perfect sync in the whole thing. Like the Universe came together for Bandi Bageerath’s bail.

But when you check the exam schedules submitted to the Court-

Supply Chain Analytics - exam is on 23rd June 2:30-4:30pm
Portfolio Management is also on 23rd June 2:30-4:30pm…the same date and time….!!!

Leadership & Teamwork - exam is on 24th June 11am to 1pm
Approaches to Decision Making- is also on 24th June 11-1pm!!! Same time.

How can a person write two exam papers at the same time? Did someone not think about it while making this schedule???

Is there a “special” reason for these special supplementary exams?

How many people are being given the chance to write SPECIAL Supplementary Exams?

Or is this specially reserved to POCSO accused sons of union ministers??

The honourable High Court was made to believe that Bandi Bageerath’s future will be messed up, year will be wasted if he doesn’t write these exams.

But Bandi Bageerath has been failing exams since 2023. So what’s the sudden urgency?

Unfortunately- the victim was not informed about the interim bail as it should be in cases like these. Who will guarantee her safety???

I read the bail paper once and I found all these discrepancies…why did the learned public prosecutor fail to identify them? Why did he not argue for stopping this mockery of the judicial system.

Bandi Bageerath is son of BJP Union Minister X
But the Congress government in Telangana is putting up a fabulous circus-show to ensure his comfort.

Shame on you all!!

Just video called my dad to wish him a Happy Father's Day.

I asked him what he wanted as a gift; he took a little pause. He was about to speak, but before that, I said, "Just let me know. I will order it on Cash on Delivery."

The reaction on his face said a lot.

No matter whose day it is, it's the father's duty to pay the bills :)

India’s IT ministry banned Telegram for one week because some users shared leaked exam questions.

This punishes 150M+ ordinary Telegram users in India — not the insiders who leaked the exam materials.

And the ban hasn't stopped anything. The leaks just moved to other apps.

Guard: "Sir, a thief escaped the prison".
Jailer: "How?"
Guard: "I don't know sir, but he picked the Enfield bike parked at the gate and vanished before we could react."
Jailer: "Oh no, let me talk to the Home Ministry and get a blanket ban on Enfield. We can't afford another escape."

[Anuradha Tiwari @talk2anuradha]

There is a new scam by @IndiGo6E these days.

When you web check-in, they don’t show any free seat options to select.

If you skip seat selection and choose auto-assigned seating, they say you'll receive your boarding pass by email around 4 hours before departure. In my case, it never arrived.

When I called customer care to ask why the boarding pass wasn't sent, they told me that auto-assigned seating can only be done 12 hours before departure. If it isn't assigned by then, the airport has to allocate the seat. They also said they have no way to contact the airport.

So you are forced to reach the airport at least 1 hour early for physical check-in. If you arrive close to the check-in cutoff, they may refuse to issue a boarding pass and say you missed the check-in deadline.

Technically, there are no FREE seats for web check-in.

Everybody is out here scamming common people because apparently there’s nowhere for us to go and complain. Well done!

🎬 University of Hyderabad Alumnae Shine in Sing Geetham 🌿🎶

Proud moment for the University of Hyderabad community as two alumnae from the Department of Communication contribute to Sing Geetham, the bold musical fantasy directed by legendary filmmaker Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, released worldwide on 11 June 2026.

🎭 Shalini Kondepudi
MA Communication, Class of 2010–2012

The film has been appreciated as a refreshing departure in Telugu cinema — blending music, fantasy, ecological concern, and human emotion into an engaging cinematic experience. It is heartening to see UoH alumnae contributing meaningfully to a project that celebrates creativity, courage, storytelling, and social consciousness.

Congratulations to Gautami Challagulla and Shalini Kondepudi on being part of this remarkable film. Their journey reflects the creative strength and interdisciplinary spirit nurtured at the University of Hyderabad.

E20 Petrol: ₹102 per Litre
Pure Petrol: ₹167 per Litre

Which idiots in Government did this pricing to loot Indians?

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

He is Brigadier Aryan Verma. He is just 20, making him the youngest brigadier ever, anywhere in the world.

He was preparing for NEET and failed twice. He then told his family that he had been selected as a brigadier in the Army. He rented a car, put a flag and stars on it, hired two bouncers, and started roaming around Shahjahanpur posing as a senior Army officer.

He was caught after two retired Army personnel found it hard to believe that such a young brigadier existed, especially one moving around with private security.

His father is a Horticulture Inspector, and his mother is a teacher in the Basic Education Department, and it's surprising they believed such an obvious fabrication by their son.

Hyderabad is facing a serious water problem🚨

Water tanker demand has reached around 20,000 bookings a day as groundwater levels continue to fall.

The worst-hit areas include Madhapur, Gachibowli, Kondapur, Kukatpally and Serilingampally, where many borewells are drying up and people are becoming more dependent on water tankers for daily needs.

If groundwater levels keep falling at this pace, water availability could become a bigger challenge for the city in the coming years.

Vizag Gets Steel,
Telangana Gets Scrap

The central government has decided to close down the Cement Corporation of India (CCI) factory in Adilabad, Telangana. They plan to sell its machinery as scrap metal for only Rs 50 crore. This is a huge blow to the local tribal people who live in this poor area. This decision ignores the factory's 2,340 acres of land and the 48 to 77 million tonnes of valuable limestone nearby.

The factory opened in 1984 and gave jobs to 4,000 people. However, it was forced to close in 1998 because of government neglect and policy changes. The government now claims it costs too much money to fix and reopen the factory.

Yet, the BJP union government has a double standard. To save the Vizag Steel Plant in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, the government gave huge financial help - more than Rs 21,000 crore between 2025 and 2026. This money successfully made the steel plant profitable again.

Adilabad already has everything it needs to be a great cement center, including raw materials, train tracks, and building infrastructure. The Telangana state government must fight hard to stop the factory from being sold as scrap. New industries should not just be built around the capital city of Hyderabad; they must also be brought to poor, remote districts.

The central government should treat everyone fairly and give Adilabad the same financial help it gave to Vizag.

India is the only country where IAS officer who was caught taking ₹10 lakh bribe reappointed as Deputy Secretary in the Revenue Department as punishment. You still wonder why people from IIT IIM leave 2-3 crores of packages for UPSC ?
