@TeamYouTube Tried that before posting. Didn’t work. Had no other option but to renew through the apple App Store. It’s costlier. Would prefer to subscribe directly to YouTube. Please get an agent to reset my location to default - India.
Muslims don’t have an intellectual class. They lack the secular ethos of intellectualism. That’s why their educated class is so self-serving and perfidious as to divide the community from the country. Scratch the surface, and a communalist emerges from behind the liberal verbiage and Constitutional camouflage.

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.
- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.
He built a language that fit in kilobytes.
50 years later, it runs everything.
Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.
Every iPhone. Every Android.
NASA’s deep space probes.
The International Space Station.
> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.
If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.
He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.
This Legend deserves to be celebrated.
The British put her in jail several times.
Then India became free, and an Indian government put her in jail again, and fined her, for refusing to give up her mother tongue.
She died in a poor ashram, living on a freedom fighter's pension.
Her name was Labanya Prabha Ghosh.
She was born on 14th August 1897. She never went to school. Her father taught her at home. At the age of 11, in 1908, she was married to Atul Chandra Ghosh, a lawyer who later gave up his practice for the freedom movement.
Their home in Purulia, an ashram called Shilpashram, became the centre of the freedom struggle in the Manbhum region. Subhas Chandra Bose came there. Chittaranjan Das came there. Gandhi visited it.
In 1926 she was elected to the District Congress Committee from Manbhum.
In 1930, when Gandhi began the Salt Satyagraha, she organised the marches in her own district.
In 1941 she offered individual satyagraha and was arrested. In 1942, during Quit India, she went to jail again. In 1945 she organised a flag satyagraha at Konapara.
Then came 1947, and the part almost nobody talks about.
Manbhum, where she lived, was not in Bengal. It was in Bihar. After independence the Bihar government moved to make Hindi compulsory there, over Bengali, which was the language of the people of that district.
She led the movement against it. It was called the Bhasha Andolan.
For that, the government of independent India jailed her, more than once, and fined her.
She did not stop. The movement went on for years, and it worked. In 1956 Purulia was separated from Bihar and joined West Bengal, and the people there kept their language.
In 1957 she was elected to the West Bengal assembly from Purulia.
After her husband died she took over editing their newspaper, Mukti, and ran Shilpashram herself.
She lived to be nearly 106. She died on 11th April 2003.
For the last part of her life she lived in that ashram in poverty. Her only income was the pension the state pays to freedom fighters.
The people of Purulia called her Manbhum Janani, the mother of Manbhum.
Tomorrow the country will hoist the flag. She was born on the day before Independence Day, and she spent her life on both sides of it, fighting the British first and then her own government, for the same thing.
Do you know how many 1000s made up the sample size for this groundbreaking research? Guess. Go ahead, take a guess....I am sure you all will be completely wrong at guessing this massive sample size.
Because let me disappoint you, it is a massive minimum 5 & averages around 10.
Then say hello to V-Dem’s Academic Freedom Index, where the fate of a nation of 1.4 billion people is decided by a group chat of 5 people.
V-Dem’s actual methodology explicitly relies on a target of 5 anonymous country experts per indicator. If 3 of them are a frustoo, India’s national score drops lower than it was under British colonial rule in 1900.
In a country with 1100+ universities, 45K+ colleges & millions of academics, 5 people filling out an online form is a sampling rate of ~0.0.00029%. In any real data science class, a sample size like that would not even qualify as a pilot study.
So, yes, celebrate it..:))

A baby selling, medicine denying, soul harvesting Albanian ghoul gets the Nobel Peace Prize, but @Amritanandamayi who has been doing genuine humanitarian work in multiple countries in the world is never considered for the award. That’s white privilege for you! @NobelPrize
📣New Day, New Lafda !!
Dear @KolkataPolice & @KPTrafficDept We are now scared of what exactly?
When our Hon'ble Chief Minister @SuvenduWB has instructed the top brass of the Police Department to initiate strict action against antisocial elements & habitual traffic offenders why this was an exception even after abusing the police personnel?
