Defeat this Government
Ram ko loota
Desh ko loota
Achhe Din ka nara
Jhootha
Aise shasan ko tordein ge
Mil ke Desh ko jordein ge
Na dilon ka ho ga batwara
Sab ka Desh hai Desh hamara
In 2011, Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea opened a restaurant with no prices on the menu.
One evening, a woman sat down there trying not to cry.
Not because anyone hurt her — but because she had forgotten what it felt like to be treated with dignity.
She had been surviving on vending machine snacks, shelter leftovers, and whatever food she could find. Then someone placed a real meal in front of her.
Warm soup. Fresh vegetables. Dessert on a real plate.
The dining room was calm and welcoming. Cloth napkins. Proper silverware. Soft lighting. Small details that quietly told people: you belong here too.
Then the waiter walked over.
Her stomach dropped. She thought this was the moment she’d have to admit she couldn’t pay.
Instead, he smiled and left a note beside her plate.
There were no prices. Only a suggested donation.
And if she couldn’t afford to pay, she could volunteer her time instead.
No questions.
No shame.
No judgment.
She read the note twice, waiting for the catch.
There wasn’t one.
A little later, she stood at the kitchen sink washing dishes beside volunteers and staff. Somewhere between the warm water, the soap, and the quiet conversations, something inside her shifted.
For the first time in a long time, she no longer felt invisible.
That’s the heart of JBJ Soul Kitchen.
Dorothea Bon Jovi helped build the restaurant around one simple belief: everyone deserves dignity, no matter their circumstances.
No separate lines.
No labels.
No treating people like charity cases.
Guests who can pay help cover meals for others. Those who can’t are invited to help by folding napkins, setting tables, or working in the kitchen.
And beyond the meals, the restaurant connects people with housing support, healthcare resources, job guidance, and local services that can help rebuild lives.
What started as one small restaurant has grown into multiple locations across New Jersey, including spaces serving college students facing food insecurity.
Together, JBJ Soul Kitchen has served more than 200,000 meals.
When the pandemic shut the world down in 2020, they kept going. Meals became takeout. Families were fed. Jon Bon Jovi was spotted washing dishes while Dorothea helped keep everything running.
Millions know Bon Jovi as a rock star.
But one of the most meaningful things he and Dorothea ever built was a place where people could sit down, eat with dignity, and feel seen again.
Because hunger isn’t always just an empty stomach.
Sometimes it’s the feeling that the world has forgotten you.
And that little restaurant with no prices on the menu reminds people of something powerful:
You still matter.
You still belong.
35-year-old Jaswinder Singh, a serving soldier of the Border Security Force died in the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau in Jammu.
Jaswinder had been declared fit in nine medical reports, the last of which was issued on 18 March, less than forty-eight hours before his death, in which the medical officer at the government hospital in Jammu stated, “Accused is physically fit after clinical examination in my opinion.” He further noted that Jaswinder had been “conscious, cooperative well oriented.”
When the family finally saw Jaswinder in the mortuary of the civil hospital in Amritsar, they found his body riddled with bruises and welts. But only when they removed his clothes and turned him on his stomach did they witness the true horror.
The postmortem report however found that 34 blunt force injuries had been inflicted on him. The postmortem report raises concerns about the veracity of this order. It states that most of his injuries were antemortem, that is, before death, and were sustained within the previous four days.

A well-built man, over six feet tall, 35-year-old Jaswinder Singh was posted in Tripura with the 42 Battalion of the Border Security Force. On 3 March, he was on leave at home—in the border village of Diwangarh, around forty kilometres south-west of Jammu—when the Narcotics Control Bureau, an agency that comes under the union home ministry, picked him up. What followed was a seventeen-day ordeal that ended in his death.
Jaswinder’s family had no access to him during this time, other than a four-minute distress call that he was able to make from the NCB office in Jammu, ten days after he was detained. His wife, Lovejeet Kour, told me that he begged for help on this call, saying that he was facing unbearable torture at the hands of the narcotics officials. “My biggest fear used to be his safety on the border in Tripura, far from home. I feared him dying at the border,” she said. “But not like this—literally being frisked away while he was on leave and at home, and dying by torture in NCB custody.”

Absolute lie. Students of Khansa Women's College for Advanced Studies in #Kasaragod's Kumbla are protesting against private buses for not stopping at the bus stop in front of their college. Private buses avoid taking students because students have concession on their tickets.
Never forget that this country’s most celebrated wrestling professionals were relentlessly attacked, humiliated, manhandled and demonised by the BJP & its vicious supporters in defence of Brij Bhushan Singh.
He was Ghanshyam Tiwari, a contractual govt doctor.
He was from Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh.
He was beaten to death allegedly by Ajay Narayan Singh, claimed to be relative of local BJP leader.
Fatally injured Tiwari was bundled in an autorickshaw and was abandoned near his house.
Uttar Pradesh is governed by Yogi Adityanath, now it will interesting to see how much time yogi govt will take to bulldoze the house of Ajay Narayan singh.
