I have been living in Delhi NCR for more than 20 years.

In the mid-2000s, we used to see Kanwariyas walking on the roads of Delhi. They walked quietly on the side of the road and did not disturb anyone. At most, there were separate walking areas for them, with volunteers guiding them.

There were no loud DJs, no mini-trucks with people waving baseball bats, no fancy lights, no running on the roads, no highways reserved for Kanwariyas, and no flower showers from helicopters.

Back in my hometown, Bareilly, I had never even heard of this during my childhood. These things simply did not exist.

Cut to 2026. Now, Kanwariyas seem to get the highest priority on the roads of North India during these 15 days of Sawan. An office-goer paying taxes or a patient in an ambulance fighting for their life does not seem to get the same importance.

You have to change your travel plans. Schools are shut, offices ask people to work from home, and businesses lose customers. All this happens to accommodate people on the roads for these 15 days.

They seem to feel like the kings of the roads. They can argue with police officers, damage cars, and do whatever they want.

Unless ordinary people who suffer because of this government-supported event every year start raising their voices, nothing is going to change.

यूपी : मेरठ में कांवड़ियों ने दो पुलिसकर्मियों को पुलिस जीप से बाहर निकालकर पीटा, कपड़े फाड़ दिए। दरअसल, बाइक सवार व्यक्ति ने कांवड़ियों को टक्कर मार दी थी। इस सूचना पर थाने के 2 पुलिसकर्मी सादा कपड़ों में जीप लेकर पहुंच गए। आरोपी व्यक्ति तो भाग गया, लेकिन कांवड़ियों ने पुलिसकर्मियों को पकड़ लिया और उनकी खूब पिटाई की।

I might not have the time to attend parliament, I might not have the time to visit the flood ravaged Assam. I might tell the country to cut down on expenditure. But I have all the time in the world for self promotion on tax payers money

What just happened in Ceuta was an orchestrated power move against Spain using migrants as a weapon. Young, unemployed Moroccan men lured by social media groups with promises of a new life and literally bussed to the border and ushed across by Moroccan authorities, were met only by an array of cameras awaiting them. Almost all returned home the next day. We are in a new era of warfare where the new weapons of geopolitical power-plays are ai, disinformation, deepfakes, troll farms and the poor - and Spain just got sent a message.

All the world is a stage.

Have a look at the comments section or dms of any girl in India. Then maybe we can lecture them about their own language.

ASKING: Will we ever see the day when IT cell trolls who hurl vile abuse every day—especially at women in public life—are held accountable, let alone apologise? Or will these serial offenders continue to enjoy complete impunity while teenagers face FIRs and threats? One law for the powerful, another for everyone else?🙏
