Hypocrisy and Double Standards of UN Human Rights - Spineless and Toothless Biased Body:
1. Why did UN Human Rights never speak for Indian victims of Pakistan Sponsored Islamist Terrorism across India including Jammu & Kashmir?
2. Why has UN Human Rights not campaigned for rights of people in PoJK - Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir who are being killed, arrested and crushed by Pakistani Military under Asim Munir?
3. Why has UN Human Rights remained silent on the subjugation and HR violations and milking faced by ordinary Baloch civilians by Pakistani Army?
4. Why has UN Human Rights remained silent on the illegal solitary confinement and torture of Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan by Pakistan Govt led by Asim Munir?
5. Why has UN Human Rights remained silent on the FlyDubai Terror Plot and the Human Rights of pilot, crew and passengers of the aircraft who were under terror attack?
6. Why has UN Human Rights remained silent on protests and violence across France over last several days?
7. Why has UN Human Rights remained silent on similar protests and violence across United States and Europe?
Dear Elon,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that “competition” in your vocabulary means “everyone else gets out of the way while I plant 6,000 satellites over their heads and call it charity.”
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of the United States, Europe, and anywhere else that already has a functioning internet market, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Indian companies to compete in the U.S. without sudden regulatory U-turns, lobbying campaigns, and the occasional “for the children” sermon?
There are many areas of America, as there are in all countries, where people already pay for broadband and still get fleeced by the same handful of providers. Starlink would change their lives for the better… right up until the price jumps, the spectrum fight starts, and the subsidies dry up. Then it’s just another billionaire’s network with better marketing.
Thank you 🙏
(P.S. “Prime Minister Ambani” is funny until you notice your own government treats you like an unpaid cabinet minister whenever you want something.)
Don’t be angry by the patronising racism here. That’s standard at @TheEconomist. But do laugh at how brainless this is. Conservation and protecting creatures has been civilisational culture in India for millennia. This is the creamy layer of racism: sneering, ignorant, erudite.
Veteran Actor Piyush Mishra LAUNCHES a SCATHING ATTACK on Naseeruddin Shah over his selective activism and silence on national issues.
Mishra called out Shah for:
– IGNORING pilot Smit Machchhar, who saved 180 passengers on a Flydubai flight.
– Staying SILENT on student clashes and police action at LPU.
– Sending an obscure PAKISTANI Urdu poem instead of basic ration (atta, dal, roti) when asked for humanitarian relief in Jharkhand.
=> Mishra issued a BLUNT WARNING: "Whenever you release a statement from now on, Piyush Mishra will give you a DIRECT REPLY."
The nation is proud of Captain Smit Machchhar. His heroic courage and incredible presence of mind have deeply touched us all.
Even after being seriously injured in a moment of grave peril, he remained determined to protect the lives of others. His bravery and quick response helped prevent a major tragedy and saved many precious lives.
I salute his indomitable spirit. I pray for his speedy recovery and good health.
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
Salute to Captain Smit Machchhar for his exceptional courage. His actions went beyond the call of duty, helping protect 170+ lives. He is a real HERO and the entire country is proud of him for his bravery and timely action. Wishing him speedy and total recovery.

पहले गोदी मीडिया कह कर बेचारे फील्ड रिपोर्टर को पीटो फिर उसी चैनल को जाकर इंटरव्यू दो... न्यूज़ चैनल के संपादक ऐसा होने क्यों दे रहे हैं? कम से कम पहले इनसे माफी तो मंगवाते.. आप सबने तो ये साबित कर दिया कि आप अपने रिपोर्टर के साथ हैं ही नहीं.. वो बेचारे पिटते रहें.. आप पिटवाने वालों को चैनल पर बुला लेंगे.. जिन एंकर्स/चैनल्स के नाम पर रिपोर्टर्स को पीटा जा रहा था वो सारे एंकर्स अब चुपचाप इनका इंटरव्यू क्यों ले रहे हैं?! ये सवाल रिपोर्टर्स को पूछना चाहिए.. 🙏
“When your mother was critically ill in the UK, you were at least allowed to see her. I beg you, please let me see Chinmoy one last time. I am lying on my deathbed and my son Chinmoy is also gravely ill.”
— Sandhya Rani, mother of Chinmoy Prabhu, in a desperate appeal to Tarique Rahman.
Her plea was rejected.
Some moments expose the cruelty of power more clearly than any speech ever could.

Hindu Monk Chinmay Krishna Das Prabhu touched the feet of Radha-Krishna in Pundarik Dham temple of #Chattragram before being taken to jail yet again. He was given merely few hours of parole to see mortal remains of his mother for one last time.
The famous 'miracle green house' that survived the deadly Nepal floods is owned by Laxmi Pandey.
She said she prayed to Lord Shiva and recites the Hanuman Chalisa daily. Even on that fateful day she recited hanuman chalisa and feels it was god who protected her house 🙏🚩
"If economy is growing at 7.8% why is the PM asking us not to travel abroad, not to buy gold, not to have foreign weddings etc"
Let me explain: East Asian nations (Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and later China) all went through a phase of rapid GDP growth combined with the need to conserve foreign exchange. Here is why that happens.
1. Our economy is growing at a good rate but we still have an import dependence, in both energy and in technology. In fact, the faster the economy grows, the greater the need for both energy and technology inputs.
2. To balance that import dependence, we have to export more and our exports are surging. However, even our exports need advanced technological inputs (precision machines, materials, CPUs, GPUs, advanced software etc) that we need to import today.
3. Catching up in all of these areas takes time, often measured in decades. We have made a good start but we need time.
Look at how long it took East Asia to catch up with the West. Their economies were growing rapidly even as they worked hard to conserve foreign exchange.
That is exactly what our government is trying to do.
Once we gain competence in all the advanced technlogies, and achieve energy independence through renewable energy that we develop the technology for, we would no longer need to conserve foreign exchange.
The situation is similar to a fast growing company that needs capital to grow. So it has to conserve capital to invest in growth. Our nation needs to conserve foreign exchange likewise.
Judging Jauhar through a cushioned, 21st-century ideological lens is historical illiteracy wrapped in cheap academic posturing.
If Jauhar were just an invention of Hindu patriarchy or misogyny, where was it during the centuries of internal battles between Hindu kings? It didn't exist, because they fought with a certain honor that included not targeting non-combatants, including women, in any way. Jauhar emerged exclusively as a response to medieval Islamic invasions, where war wasn't just about territory, but systemic mass rape, forced conversion, and selling women off like livestock in foreign slave markets.
Feminists like Swara Bhasker preach about autonomy and choice, completely ignoring the reality of the situation. When foreign armies breached the fort, women didn't have a choice between death and living. Their only two options were a quick, self-inflicted death, or death after years of violent sexual abuse, physical torture, and horrific enslavement until their bodies gave out.
Condemning those women for burning themselves while ignoring the barbarians who drove them into the fire is pathetic victim-blaming. Jauhar was a tragedy, but the absolute onus belongs entirely on the invaders who forced that reality upon them.
Hello @kritisanon,
1. Don't play the woman card. You were not criticized for your gender, but for your choice of clothes in an ad. You are bringing gender into this to make it a women's issue and seek wider support from women and male feminists. It's not a gender issue. Even Ranveer Singh was criticized on Twitter for a nude photoshoot. He didn't play the gender card.
2. Personal choice stops where public commercialization begins. What you wear off-camera is entirely your prerogative. You've been in this business for years. Until now, nobody bothered you about your choice of clothes. You know why? Because nobody actually cares what you wear. The outrage here comes from a commercial choice: sexualizing a deeply sacred festival celebrated by millions. Context dictates appropriateness. If a male actor appeared bare-chested while portraying the brother in that exact scene, the public pushback would be identical. The issue is sacredness and context, not gender.
3. Claiming "clothes don't define culture" directly contradicts human history. Attire is a foundational visual language of every global tradition, you cannot wear a Kimono and call it Indian ethnic wear, nor can you strip a festival of its sacred aesthetic without altering its significance. If attire truly has zero bearing on cultural respect, then tomorrow is Eid. Can you wear that exact same outfit you wore in that ad and wish Eid Mubarak? You said clothes don't define the respect you have for culture in your heart. So do it and we'll take our criticism back.
Respecting a tradition means honoring its context, not commodifying it under the guise of fashion.
