Not many know about this great man Dr. Kinare A simple RSS worker and a positive trade unionist. He helped to save the Indian Express in Mumbai

In 1981 the militant trade unionist Datta Samant aligned with AR Antulay grabbed the Indian Express union Mumbai and launched an assault it was not the takeover of a trade union The idea was to take over the paper. The man was known for territorising and murdering company owners into submission

Goenka told Arun Shourie and me that if Samant succeeds he will decide what will go into the newspaper. He decided to close down the paper and issued a closure notice. Antulay refused allow closure
Indian Express filed a writ saying that the right to run a newspaper is subject to reasonable restrictions but the right to silence is absolute
Goenka being Goenka the workers were caught between two powerful men -- Goenka and Samant

The man who stepped in on the advice of the trade union stalwart Dattopant Thengadi and help the Indian Express to wean the workers away from the murderous Samant was none other than Dr Kinare. He virtually saved when Arun Shourie was being targeted. He guided us how to approach the workers. Many RSS workers helped to approach the workers.

The battle lasted for 123 days. Finally the Indian Express handed the first defeat to Datta Samant who was the most feared and uncrowned King of Mumbai trade union

The man who centred that battle of the Express was Dr Kinare

A sincere and simple RSS worker. Like many he gave the best years of his life for RSS and the cause it represented. Neither demanded nor got anything in return from the Indiam Express or the organisation

A great soul. A great friend. A great man

He was an unknown but tall man

My heart felt condolences to his family particularly my friend Mangesh Kinare who is also a CA and the Vice President of the CA Institute

This kind of language is unacceptable.. no matter what the grievance might be..

What the hell just happened in the supreme court 😱

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

When you ban it reaches court whonwill clear it. Media creates a sympathy narrative (paid). It becomes an average grosser, if not a flop. Makers recover their budget. Right decision taken not to ban.

CBFC IS BECOMING A BIG JOKE !!!

Requesting Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji To Suspend Each And Every CBFC Member Who Cleared #Alpha Movie. You Just Can't Insult Indian Army & Get Away.

Where CBFC Members Bribed By @yrf ? Is The Big Question.

Insulting @adgpi Is Criminal.

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

Let's hope its a rumor. Although @satyagodara ji ki vaani bahut baar sach hoti hai

Keep an eye on the developments in #SriLanka. Looks like things will change there as well.

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

I think @TVKPartyHQ will absorb the @AIADMKOfficial voter base. So it looks like @annamalai_k is planning to absorb the @arivalayam voter base. That tweet is indicative of it. Strategically planned. 2031 #TamilNadu elections would be interesting.

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?

Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?

Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?

This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

This could further deteriorate the already strained relationship.

[Ramesh Ramachandran @RRRameshRRR]

“The Secretary stressed that all commercial vessels should immediately comply with orders from U.S. forces as they seek to uphold peace and security in the Strait. He underscored that violations of the U.S. blockade and the illicit transport of Iranian oil will not be tolerated”

A fine and down to earth person. Always participated in Alumni events of BMCC. Om Shanti

[Amit Paranjape @aparanjape]

An icon of Pune industry, Ravi Pandit passed away earlier today in Pune. A huge loss for Pune and the Indian Industry.

A visionary, a mentor, a great leader. Always softspoken, helpful, humble and ready to guide so many of us.

Along with being the chairman of @KPIT, Ravi Pandit was actively involved with institutions like @PuneIntCentre, @MCCIA_Pune and many more.

Om Shanti 🙏

This is a reimagination of the veena parts I played in "Phir Se", a song from the movie Dhurandhar - The Revenge.

Kindly use headphones 🎧

"सौरभ द्विवेदी" और "गिरिजा ओक" की नजदीकियां बहुत बढ़ गई है।

इन दोनों के बीच इश्क मोहब्बत चल रहा है।
"द लल्लनटॉप" The Lallantop न्यूज़ चैनल द्विवेदी जी ��स महिला के चक्कर में ही छोड़ा है।

सौरभ द्विवेद्वी ने बहुत ही काम टाइम में गिरिजा जी का दो बार इंटव्यू लेना उस इंटरव्यू में रोमांटिक सवाल मुझे तो उसी टाइम लग गया था।....see more

Cabinet re-shuffle likely once everything returns to normal. The bargaining power of the #NCP would be significantly reduced then.

[ANI @ANI]

Sunetra Pawar, Deputy CM of Maharashtra and wife of late Ajit Pawar, gets state excise duty, Sports and Youth Welfare, Minorities Development & Aukaf departments

The portfolios of Planning and Finance, which were assigned to Late Ajit Pawar, are now being held by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

When losses mount such moves are expected. Routine business of the media. Atleast its being done openly. #NDTV

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

He retires from Rajya Sabha this year. The NCP(SP) faction does not have the numbers to nominate him once again. And the #BJP might not want to support any move in that direction

[Mr. Democratic @MrDemocratic_]

Why does Sharad Pawar think that Sunetra Pawar and her son will listen to him ?

Chronology Samajhiye📍

If the both factions of the NCP merge, it will be led by Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule, which would be a disadvantage for Sunetra Pawar. Since Ajit Pawar was leading the NCP while he was alive, his family will obviously not relinquish their claim on the party.

For the better future of the NCP, it would be good if the both factions merged and perhaps Ajit Pawar also wanted this before his death. But now the BJP will try to prevent Sharad Pawar from becoming strong again.

Politics is very Ruthless.

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

And yet, India's official entry for the 98th Academy Awards. Why is such negative portrayal of our country on international platforms encouraged? What is @MIB_India doing?

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

This movie managed to just earn 1.4 crores, it cost them 4-5 crores to make. Theaters were empty.

Why such movies fail is precisely why narratives like Vote chori fail. There is not enough currency on-ground, leaving the Lutyens living rooms exasperated.

[Pratik Potdar @PratikPotdar]

Fantastic news

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

A major boost to Pune’s public transport network.

Cabinet approves Phase-2 of Pune Metro (Lines 4 & 4A) connecting various areas of the city. This decision ensures faster and more comfortable commute for the people of Pune, which is an important centre for growth and innovation.

And then spend half of your savings on medical bills.

[Sneha Sharma @coachsnehaa]

Telling you again :

1. Stop romanticising freshly cooked, garam-garam khana.

2. Meal prep saves time, effort and overeating.

3. Meal prep keeps you on track because when food is ready you avoid doing self-talk like “aaj khane mein kya khaya jaye!”

4. Eating the same meals daily is normal.

5. You can half-cook, store pre-mixes in the fridge and mix n match later.

Is it A K Antony?

[Ankit Jain @indiantweeter]

I am very good friends with son of a Ex Congress MP and presently member of CWC, he once told me that a very big leader of the south praised Amit shah’s election management in front of rahul gandhi. Rahul Gandhi slapped that leader in front of 6-8 MPs present in that room. Rahul Gandhi talks about tolerance but can’t hear good things about his opponents which may make him learn a thing or two. Today that big leader is trying to enter BJP but BJP isn’t willing at the moment.
