Deeply saddened by the demise of Shri T R Raghulal, the visionary founder of Elite Foods. He built a homegrown brand that made Keralam proud and significantly contributed to our state's industrial growth. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

दूर एक लालटेन जलती है पहाड़ पर
एक तेज़ आँख की तरह
टिमटिमाती धीरे-धीरे आग बनती हुई
गिरवी रखे हुए खेत
बिलखती स्त्रियों के उतारे गए गहने
भूख से बाढ़ से महामारी से मरे हुए
सारे लोग उभर आए हैं
जंगल से दहाड़ आ रही है
और इच्छाएँ दाँत पैने कर रही हैं
पत्थरों पर
-मंगलेश डबराल
Great leaders . Comrade in arms with Nehru . He took responsibility of president of congress during the most crucial period of freedom struggle from 1041 to 1946 including most important one quit India movement.
Today is Maulana Azad's birthday, celebrated as the National Education Day. He was an extraordinary man, who was in public life but loved his solitude. He was an autodidact, who was taught at home, so not being bound by any curriculum he read extensively from religion, philosophy, history, literature to music. Maulana began his career as a firebrand journalist at a very young age. He was exiled by the British for three years in 1916 due to his anti-imperialist writings. Before even joining politics, the colonial govt declared him as one of the most dangerous persons. This was his power of pen that established this reputation. He came out of exile in 1920 and soon met Mahatma Gandhi, ever since his association with the Mahatma and the Congress continued till independence. Maulana remained committed to an indivisible India till the end. His fight against communalisms-both Hindu and Muslim remained the core of his Indian nationalism. Let us pay rich tributes to #MaulanaAbulKalamAzad
The foundations of a progressive nation rest on education, equality and unity, ideals that Maulana Abul Kalam Azad championed throughout his life. His contributions to institution-building, higher education and the promotion of India's rich cultural heritage continue to shape the nation. Remembering a visionary who dedicated his life to building an inclusive and educated India on his birth anniversary.
Thousands of students at Allen career institute in Kota launched a “Laddu Janta Party” and protest over six promised laddus. Young people have the energy and power to drive change. They need to be selective about the causes they champion.
पिछले दो दिनों से सोनिया गांधी की किताब जिस तरह से चर्चा में है जिस तरह से लोग खरीद रहे हैं और दुकान के मालिक कह रहे हैं कि आज पब्लिशिंग इंडस्ट्री के लिए बहुत बड़ा दिन है और इस दशक की ये सबसे बड़ी किताब है।
ये सब देखकर पेंगुइन पर क्या बीत रही होगी कि उसने थोड़ा साहस दिखाया होता थोड़ी रीढ़ सीधी रखी होती और ये किताब छापने से मना न किया होता तो जो आज हार्परकॉलिन्स को जो मिल रहा है वो उसे मिल रहा होता...
Victory of congress party & later on formed UPA -I was master stroke by Soniyaji as there was very thin margin of congress VS BJP in number . alliance make that magic to form Government under minimum common programme . Second master stroke to select Dr. Manmohan singh ji as PM
You are applying simple law . here it is now religious matter why Hindu can not celibate its Diwali crackers with fun fair ? who dare to stop them ! Entire right wing politicians & its alliance partners are up in thier arm ! Those who oppose crackers are DiMaggi Naxal ! & they
Firecrackers have been around for centuries, but why are we still burning them in 2026 when we know the damage they cause? When AQI reaches hazardous levels, this is no longer about celebration or tradition. It’s about poisoning our own air and our children’s lungs. Time to evolve.
Take long pose , deep breath & take more time to arrive at decision when you get rage by other’s behaviour even your nearest one ! It save you from damage to relationship!
In 1979 a newspaper found people in Bihar's jails who had been waiting years for a trial. Some had reportedly been inside longer than the maximum sentence for the crime they were accused of.
One of them was a woman named Hussainara Khatoon.
A lawyer, Kapila Hingorani, read the reports. At that time only a victim or a relative could go to court. She went anyway.
She filed a petition in the Supreme Court on behalf of the prisoners. Hussainara's name was first on it.
The court said a speedy trial is part of every Indian's right to life. It said poor prisoners must get free legal aid.
Hussainara and the others in the case were released. Over time, about 40,000 undertrial prisoners across India walked free.
Kapila Hingorani came to be known as the mother of public interest litigation in India.
A humble request to all airport authorities, airport lounges, hotel managements and the hospitality industry.
We see staff standing for 10–12 hours at airport counters, lounges, hotel receptions and service desks, welcoming and serving us with a smile. But have we ever thought about how physically exhausting this must be?
I strongly believe every such workplace should have a mandatory high stool or proper seating arrangement, allowing staff to sit and rest whenever work permits.
Hospitality is about making people feel comfortable. Shouldn’t we extend the same consideration to the people who make us comfortable?
A little rest is not a privilege. It’s a basic matter of dignity, compassion and humane working conditions.
Let’s make this a standard across the industry. A small change in policy can make a big difference in someone’s life.
Someone tried to silence me by questioning my “aukaat.” That mindset is at the heart of India’s problems: suppressing free speech instead of debating ideas.
America’s Founding Fathers protected free speech through the First Amendment over 200 years ago.
I believe that if Indians enjoyed that same freedom in practice, it would unleash an unprecedented era of innovation, prosperity and happiness.
Free minds create great nations.
Great catching up with my dear friend @PriyankKharge (Minister for Home Affairs, Karnataka) during his visit to Kochi. Always wonderful spending quality time together. His vision and commitment to progress continue to inspire.
Wishing him all the best in his continued efforts for the people of Karnataka.

सोनिया गांधी की ये ऑटोबायोग्राफी मैंने एक -डेढ़ महीने पहले ही ऑनलाइन प्री बुक कर दी थी . आज पता चला कि ये किताब स्टाल पर तो आ गई है . मेरी कॉपी अमेजन से दो दिन बाद आने वाली है. मुझे लगा इंतज़ार क्या करना . वो आएगी तो किसी साथी को दे देंगे .
मैंने अपने सहयोगी को खान मार्केट भेजकर Bahrisons से दो किताबें मंगवा ली . वहां एक किताब MRP पर 1299 मिली. बाद में देखा तो पता चला ब्लिंकिट पर आधे घंटे के भीतर 849 में होम डिलीवरी हो रही है . इतने में भी हर जगह ऑनलाइन मिल रही है .
मतलब मैंने दो किताबों में 900 रुपए का नुकसान किया . लाने के लिए आदमी भेजा , सो अलग.
आप अगर पढ़ना चाहते हैं तो ब्लिंकिट से मंगाएं .Bahrisons काफी सस्ते में मिलेगी .
Bunker Roy (1945–2026)
Bunker Roy has died in Tilonia, the village he chose over every comfort his birth had promised him.
I have been to Tilonia and seen the Barefoot College at work. It rested on an idea most of us with degrees still struggle to accept: that the poor are not a problem waiting for experts, but people with knowledge of their own. He proved it by turning grandmothers who could not read into solar engineers.
India has lost one of the few men who took Gandhi literally.
We will praise him today. The harder tribute would be to believe what he believed.
I think people are running out of names to call me-Andh Namazi, Pakistani agent, anti-national, Shabeer, Mian, Qazi… and when all else fails, the ultimate fallback: Soros agent!
Amazing how many labels people can invent to avoid having an intelligent debate.
This you are talking about idealism of capitalism or one coin of side other side is waging war , colonisation of countries, subjugate people without human right or vote thier own Government, support of cruel dictators . Rise of Hitler & Mussolini was under capitalism only
Sometimes I wonder if India is trying to justify evil in the name of capitalism. Capitalism is about free markets, fair competition, and creating value-not greed, exploitation, cronyism, and the concentration of wealth at the expense of millions.
