Won't write any comment. Would just say 'Must Watch'. Former Diplomat & Ambassador Deepak Vohra at his best.
@theskindoctor13 Is there an end to human greed!!
"अब मैं बरसों से पाला हुआ, दिल के कोने में छुपाया हुआ अपना सपना पूरा करूँगा। मुर्गियों का फ़ार्म खोलूँगा, पोल्ट्री फ़ार्म। हज़ारों मुर्गियाँ पालूँगा, जो लाखों अंडे देंगी। लाखों अंडों से करोड़ों मुर्गियाँ, और उनके कई करोड़ अंडे, और अरबों ऑमलेट। वो खाने के लिए ब्रेड भी मैं ही दूँगा। मैं बेकरी भी खोलूँगा। ब्रेड का बादशाह और ऑमलेट का राजा! बजाज। हमारा बजाज।"
He is the grandson of Aroor Singh who honoured Gen Dyer at Sri Harmandir Sahib after the Jallianwala massacre in his position as Sarbra;
He on camera confessed charging huge sums of money for issuing support letters for seeking asylums abroad;
Even while serving as IPS, he claimed to have issued “Verification Letters” to questionable characters to get Tatkal passports under and escape the country;
He calls Shaheed Bhagat Singh a terrorist.
He openly demands Khalistan;
In a recent interview he is seen claiming that late Gov Gadgil was served Saag mixed with non-veg at their residence.
All this only goes to prove that India is good at tolerating traitors and seditious people.

A diplomacy that can never be matched.
PM Modi called the Prime Minister of Japan his sister.
She warmly reciprocated by calling him her brother.
That is the kind of personal trust and goodwill PM Modi has built with global leaders. 🇮🇳🤝🇯🇵
Vehicle buyers pay huge upfront taxes, fees, and cesses. In return, they deserve the basic right to buy the exact fuel their vehicle engines were designed to run on.
If the govt wanted to "experiment" with E20 fuel, they should have done it responsibly by either buying a sample fleet of second-hand cars to test in a controlled settings or invite willing citizens to opt-in using subsidized fuel.
Forcing a mandatory policy onto everyone first and checking if it damages their engines later is outrageous. Treating the entire public as involuntary test subjects is a massive overreach.
The Geopolitics of the Guillotine: The True Reason India Was Partitioned
By @shreehistory
In the first installment of this investigation, the ledger of the empire was laid bare, revealing how Britain systematically extracted wealth from India across two world wars and defaulted on a £350 billion debt. Part Two of this story examines the physical and political mechanism used to guarantee that default would never be challenged. The retreat from the subcontinent was not a simple lowering of a flag. It was a meticulously calculated geopolitical guillotine, executed in two distinct stages, designed to permanently fracture the region and paralyze the newly independent state.
To prevent a unified, economically resurgent India from demanding reparations for the wartime extraction, Britain engaged in a strategy of systemic balkanization. This was achieved first by economically amputating Burma in 1937, and second, by lighting the political house on fire in 1947 through the abrupt creation of Pakistan, the deliberate fracturing of India into over five hundred independent sovereign entities, and the demographic weaponization of the military.
I. The First Cut: The Amputation of Burma (1937)
The blueprint for weakening the subcontinent began a decade before the famous partition of 1947. Throughout the early twentieth century, Burma was administered as a province of British India. This administrative union was highly beneficial to the broader Indian economy, because Burma was an economic powerhouse that consistently ran massive trade surpluses.
Burma was the rice bowl of the empire, exporting vast quantities of rice across the globe. It possessed massive, highly lucrative teak forests essential for imperial naval and railway construction. Most importantly, Burma held newly discovered and highly productive oil fields.
By the mid-1930s, Britain was beginning to panic over its balance of payments with India. The debts were accumulating, and the British Treasury realized that an India bolstered by Burmese exports could potentially offset its deficits and demand hard currency repayments. London needed to sever this economic shield.
In 1935, the British government passed the Government of India Act, which separated Burma from British India and granted it a distinct constitution as a separate crown colony, effective in 1937. While the British publicly framed this as a concession to Burmese nationalism, the underlying economic reality was far more cynical. By carving Burma out of India, Britain ensured that the lucrative revenues from Burmese rice, teak, and oil would no longer flow into the Indian balance of payments. Burma's export surpluses were redirected to settle British deficits directly with London. India was stripped of its primary economic buffer, leaving its balance of payments highly vulnerable to British manipulation.
Crucially, this territorial amputation should have been fiercely opposed by the Indian National Congress as an imperial division of the national inheritance. Instead, the INC played directly into the British design. Consumed with the pursuit of provincial autonomy within British India and willing to accept the British framing of Burmese nationalistic demands, the INC failed to mount a serious, unified political fight to keep Burma within the Indian union.
By accepting the first cut without a concerted fight, the INC allowed the first geopolitical domino to fall. This failure was not lost on the British establishment. The precedent was set. If the Indian leadership would passively accept the surgical amputation of a wealthy province, it emboldened London to believe they could execute a far more devastating division a decade later. The acceptance of Burma's separation signaled to the British that the territorial integrity of the subcontinent was entirely negotiable, paving the way for the second stage of the guillotine.
II. The Demographic Weaponization of the Military (1918-1945)
The physical enforcement of this division relied heavily on how Britain managed the Indian armed forces. For decades, the British military apparatus in India operated on a deeply sectarian "martial race" theory. The British systematically favored Muslims in the recruitment for the cavalry and the prestigious infantry regiments.
Prior to the massive wartime expansions, Muslims constituted the majority of the combatant ranks in the British Indian Army. This was a deliberate imperial design to keep the primary coercive arm of the state in the hands of a demographic minority that the British deemed politically reliable.
However, the sheer scale of human attrition required for the First and Second World Wars forced the British to drastically expand recruitment. Millions of Hindus were inducted into the army to fight in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. This wartime necessity temporarily gave the Hindu soldiers a numerical majority within the ranks of the military.
To strip this newfound defensive advantage away, the British executed rapid and systematic disbandment of the army the moment the wars concluded. They did this suddenly once the First World War ended in 1918, and they repeated the exact same maneuver after the Second World War ended in 1945. By rapidly demobilizing the troops, the British deliberately removed the numerical advantage the Hindu soldiers had gained, ensuring they would not possess the organizational mass to defend their homeland in the event of a post-colonial conflict.
Meanwhile, the British ensured the officer class within the remaining Indian regiments remained disproportionately Muslim and heavily energized along religious lines. This was by design. When the partition occurred, these religiously motivated military elements formed the vanguard of the attack on India, specifically leading the tribal and military invasion of the Kashmir valley. As I have written about elsewhere, it was only through the fierce defensive leadership of the Kodandera family heirs, notably General K.M. Cariappa, that Kashmir was saved from slipping away into the hands of this British-engineered assault.
III. The 565 Kingdoms Problem: Legal Balkanization (1947)
With the military artificially balanced to favor a future conflict, Britain turned to the legal balkanization of the state. For over a century, the British Raj had governed through a dual system. There was British India, directly administered by the Crown, and there were the Princely States, over five hundred sixty-five semi-autonomous kingdoms ruled by local monarchs under the suzerainty of the British Crown.
When the British parliament passed the Indian Independence Act of 1947, it contained a devastating legal mechanism. It declared that British paramountcy over the Princely States would simply lapse upon the transfer of power.
This meant that the five hundred sixty-five princely states legally became fully sovereign, independent nations on August 15, 1947. The British offered no mechanism for their integration, drew no boundaries for them, and provided no legal framework to force them to join either India or Pakistan.
Britain deliberately left India not as one unified country, but as a chaotic archipelago of over five hundred independent sovereign entities scattered across the map, interspersed with the directly governed provinces. The legal reality was a balkanized nightmare. India was envisaged as a fractured, weak entity, doomed to spend years negotiating, coercing, and fighting to integrate these five hundred kingdoms.
IV. The Pakistan Experiment: A Geopolitical Counterweight
In stark contrast to the five hundred pieces India was left in, the Muslim League's demand for Pakistan was encouraged and structured as a single, cohesive geopolitical bloc, albeit divided into two wings.
The creation of Pakistan was the ultimate imperial insurance policy. A united, independent India would inevitably emerge as a major global power, capable of utilizing its vast population and resources to challenge British economic interests and demand the £350 billion in wartime reparations. By carving out a massive Islamic nation on India's western and eastern flanks, Britain created a permanent geopolitical counterweight.
The Pakistan experiment was designed to ensure the subcontinent would remain perpetually divided. It created a massive Islamic nation on the side, bound to compete with India for resources, territory, and strategic dominance. This rivalry would force India to divert massive portions of its newly independent budget away from economic development and debt recovery, and toward military defense on its new, long, and porous borders.
By keeping India and Pakistan in a state of permanent tension, Britain ensured that neither nation would ever possess the bandwidth or the unified diplomatic leverage to challenge the Treasury in London over the unpaid sterling balances. The balkanization of India into five hundred pieces was the immediate trap, and Pakistan was the long-term geopolitical cage.
V. The Ten-Month Acceleration: Leaving on the Boil
The final, most devastating element of this strategy was the timing of the exit. When Prime Minister Clement Attlee initially announced the British departure, the target date was June 1948. This timeline would have allowed the Indian leadership roughly a year to negotiate the integration of the five hundred princely states, establish administrative continuity, and conduct a proper financial audit of the wartime ledgers.
When Lord Louis Mountbatten arrived in March 1947, he abruptly advanced the date of independence by ten months, moving it to August 1947.
The official justification was the escalating communal violence in Bengal and Punjab. However, the strategic reality was that Britain wanted to leave while the country was on the boil. By accelerating the timeline by ten months, Mountbatten ensured that the Indian leadership would be handed a fractured, burning state with absolutely no time to prepare.
There was no time to negotiate the accession of the five hundred kingdoms peacefully. There was no time to properly divide the military, the civil service, or the physical assets of the treasury. There was no time to audit the £1.3 billion owed to India.
By advancing the date, Britain ensured that the announcement of the Radcliffe Line, which sliced through communities and provinces, would trigger immediate, unmanageable chaos. Millions of refugees were thrown onto the roads. The violence erupted precisely as the British were pulling out their final administrative personnel.
Britain did not stay to manage the fires they had lit. They deliberately left when the country was at the absolute peak of its boil, ensuring that the new Indian government would be entirely consumed by the sheer mechanics of survival.
VI. The Ultimate Victory: Resurgence of Truth
The two-stage partition of the subcontinent was a masterpiece of imperial geopolitical engineering. First, they amputated the economic shield of Burma to protect their balance of payments, a move unopposed by the INC. Then, they systematically dismantled the military's demographic balance to engineer a future conflict, legally shattered India into five hundred pieces, and carved out a massive Islamic counterweight in Pakistan. Finally, they accelerated the exit by ten months to ensure the powder keg exploded just as their ships left the harbor.
While the Indian leadership, led by Nehru and Patel, spent the critical years of 1947 and 1948 fighting to integrate the five hundred kingdoms, defending Kashmir from a British-energized military assault, and managing a massive refugee crisis, the British Treasury in London quietly finalized its default.
The geopolitical chaos was the perfect smokescreen. The strategy worked flawlessly in the short term. The country was broken into pieces, a massive rival was installed on its borders, and the unpaid wartime debt vanished into the fog of a British-engineered catastrophe.
Yet, the Mundaka Upanishad declares Satyameva Jayate, truth alone triumphs. This ancient civilizational aphorism becomes starkly evident when observing how India pulled herself together despite the labyrinth of malicious designs enacted by various imperial actors. Against the calculated arithmetic of default, the legal balkanization of five hundred kingdoms, and the violent trauma of an engineered partition, the subcontinent endured. The fires lit by the arsonists eventually burned out, but the foundation of the civilization remained.
To fully appreciate this resilience, Indians must reclaim and understand their history from their own viewpoint. For too long, the narrative of the subcontinent has been filtered through the ledgers and dispatches of the colonizer. Only by connecting these historical threads from an indigenous perspective can the modern generation recognize the profound civilizational values that have allowed them to thrive through centuries of extraction and orchestrated division.
The truth of this history is no longer a weapon for grievance, but a foundation for destiny. The era of merely surviving these geopolitical and financial assaults is finally over. Armed with the unvarnished truth of their own past, India has reached the threshold where it is no longer time to just survive. It is now time to thrive.

The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).
The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.
The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.
Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.
This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.
Last year, a kid was beaten up at a missionary school for greeting her principal with Radhe Radhe
Principal Eva Colvins taped the child’s mouth for 15 minutes
The child’s father filed a police case against the principal but she got bail the same day. He pulled the child out of that school
@sewanyaya raised the matter to Human Rights Commission. @KanoongoPriyank took cognizance and held several hearings in the case
The first impact of these hearings - school had been made to pay the child Rs 50000 as penalty
This is the receipt of the transaction from last week
It’s a rare such victory. All across India, institutes are getting away with beating Hindu kids for wearing tilak, kalawa etc, without any consequences
Let no school, no institute, get away with such bigotry and cruelty. You can write to us [email protected]

EXCLUSIVE:
During Annual Day programme of Kids World English School in Partur, Jalna — school children danced on the Pakistani song of "Gustakh Nabi Ki Ek Saza..." with dummy swords.
In the background, they had celebrated with photo of Pakistani terrorist Mumtaz Qadri, who had assassinated Pakistan's Punjab Governor — as he had spoken in defence of a Christian woman Asia Bibi, accused of blasphemy.
This school claims to be affiliated with CBSE board ( @cbseindia29), and allegedly is promoting extremist ideology amongst children.
We urge @NCPCR_ to immediately take cognizance of the matter, and direct security agencies to investigate it and take appropriate action.

A deadly incident at Kuwait International Airport has raised fresh questions about the state of the Iran-US ceasefire. Kuwaiti authorities say a hostile drone attack caused casualties, injuries, and damage to airport facilities, while Iran claims the damage was caused by debris from an American Patriot interceptor missile.
With competing narratives emerging and no independent confirmation yet available, the incident highlights the growing risks to civilian infrastructure as military tensions continue across the Gulf region.
