"Systemic failure" and "corruption" would be trending globally if an Indian pilot faked a captain's licence for 17 years. But because it's Air Canada, it’s just a "clever fraudster" who got away with "deceit and trickery". The bias is loud. https://t.co/gomRJh8NGC

Gone in 32 Seconds: How Boeing and Air India’s role in India’s deadliest aviation disaster is being covered up

Read this story. Carefully.

CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it.

Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed.

TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, qualified in the third round too. TCS lost. COEMPT - a company with a spectacular track record of failure - won.

And what are CBSE students complaining about today? Badly scanned answer sheets. Missing pages. A broken evaluation portal.

Teachers had warned CBSE that the OSM system needed at least a year or two for further preparation before nationwide implementation, yet it was rushed through.

So I ask again - who wanted COEMPT to win? Who lowered the bar, step by step, until this company could clear it?

Pradhan ji and CBSE say “due process was followed.” That is not an answer, that is not accountability. The question is whether the contract was honestly awarded to the best company which could do the job correctly.

The futures of 18.5 lakh children were handed to a company that could only qualify after the rules were bent for it.

To the BJP Ministers attacking me for asking questions - I have, from day one, demanded an independent judicial probe. Expand it from CBSE to every contract awarded to COEMPT. Our youth deserve the truth.

And Modi ji, your silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister tells the country what you actually care about - not the futures of lakhs of students, only the survival of your own government.

@Cricket_live247 And Hinge was mocking him... Sad.

Yet, glimmers of hope like Sahith Theegala calling a penalty on himself prove decency is a choice. When you introduce someone to a sport, teach them respect for the opponent and integrity first. Read the full piece here: https://t.co/fTIdWHXSps

Competitive sport is fundamentally broken. From the Ryder Cup and the IPL to a casual weekend round of golf over a ₹200 pot, the unwritten rule of honor has been replaced by a cynical culture of "whatever you can get away with." Here is why we are losing the soul of the game: 👇

This decay mirrors our public life. When leaders use slurs or the judiciary calls citizens "cockroaches," it signals that any degradation is acceptable for a win. No wonder an IPL bowler's first instinct is to aggressively mock a 15-year-old prodigy rather than applaud greatness.

@saichndra So true, you can't put so much weight on a 15 year old's shoulders!

@ChithraMadhavan So true! Look at these beauties from the Nellai Temple...

@_YogendraYadav Deeply saddened by the passing of Ananth. He was a rare soul who led with profound humility and unwavering moral courage. His deep love for our country and the Constitution served as a North Star for us all. A massive loss. Rest in peace.

Thoroughly enjoying looking at old bangalore maps overlaid on the current City map at this amazing site: https://t.co/eGR0ElQcLR - the maps go all the way back to 1790. Click on the "eye" to see the current area under the old map.
