FLASH: Lok Sabha to amend Compensation to Terror Victims Act to exclude Muslims from definition of victims of terrorism.

Bill is tabled by Congress and Left parties that supported UGC Equity Act that excluded General Category from definition of victims of caste discrimination.

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

Dear @narendramodi. The @ugc_india Equity Regulations are unjust and must be revised:

1 Caste discrimination victim definition excludes general category

2 Equity committee composition excludes mention of general category

3 There is no provision for punishing false complaints

In the decade preceding @myogiadityanath’s tenure, UP suffered 47,509 cases of Encephalitis leading to 8,373 infant deaths.

34 million vaccinations and 21 million tap water connections later, today comes the news, that for two years running, UP has reported 0 deaths. Stunning.

Last one on this topic, and I have been holding this in myself for a while.

For centuries, class divides kept the labor of the poor invisible to the rich. Factory workers toiled behind walls, farmers in distant fields, domestic help in backrooms. The wealthy consumed the fruits of that labor without ever seeing the faces or the fatigue behind it. No direct encounter, no personal guilt.

The gig economy shattered that invisibility, at unprecedented scale.

Suddenly, the poor aren't hidden away. They're at your doorstep: the delivery partner handing over your ₹1000+ biryani, late-night groceries, or quick-commerce essentials. You see them in the rain, heat, traffic, often on borrowed bikes, working 8–10 hours for earnings that give them sustenance. You see their exhaustion, their polite smile masking frustration with life in general.

This is the first time in history at this scale that the working class and consuming class interact face-to-face, transaction after transaction. And that discomfort with our own selves is why we are uncomfortable about the gig economy. We want these people to look our part, so that the guilt we feel while taking orders from them feels less.

We aren't just debating economics. We are confronting guilt. That ₹800 order might equal their entire day's earnings after fuel, bike rent, and app cuts. We tip awkwardly, or avoid eye contact, because the inequality is no longer abstract. It's personal.

Pre-gig era, the rich could enjoy luxury without moral discomfort. Labor was out of sight. Now, every doorbell ring is a reminder of systemic inequality. That's why debates explode. It's not just policy. It's emotional reckoning. Some defend the system (“they choose it”), others demand change (“this isn't progress, its exploitation”).

And here’s the uncomfortable twist: the unsaid ask of clumsy ‘solutions’ isn’t dignity. It is about returning to invisibility.

Ban gig work and you don’t solve inequality. You remove livelihoods. These jobs don’t magically reappear as formal, protected employment the next day. They disappear, or they get pushed back into the informal economy where there are even fewer protections and even less accountability. Over-regulate it until the model breaks, and you achieve the same outcome through paperwork instead of slogans: the work evaporates, prices rise, demand collapses, and the people we claim to protect are the first to lose income.

And then what happens?

The rich get their old comfort back. Convenience returns without faces. Guilt dissolves. We go back to clean abstractions and moral posturing from a distance. The poor don’t become safer, they become invisible again: back in cash economies, back in backrooms, back in shadows where regulation rarely reaches and dignity isn’t even debated.

The gig economy just exposed the reality of inequality to the people who previously had the luxury of not seeing it. The doorbell is not the problem. The question is what we do after opening the door.

Visibility is the price of progress. We can either use this discomfort to build something better (which we keep doing continuously as delivery partners are our backbone), or we can ban and over-regulate our way back into ignorance. One of those choices improves lives. The other simply helps the consuming class feel virtuous in the dark.

#ppfasagm #PPFAS only AMC, where fund manager has full details on each stock and reasons to buy. Differentiation is big.

You can’t do anything. Unless you accept the truth, that terrorism has a religion.

So far I did not consider you an anti Indian.
Herafter I do
Why?
You choose to question your nation on the basis of enemy propaganda knowing fully well that it is false.
Btw. I am a simple guy who spent 40 years in uniform to defend people like you.
I feel like a fool.

Seeing the DGMO press briefing live makes my heart filled with pride. This is how a professional force behaves, provide solid proof, speak in measured tones, unlike the over-the-top Pakistani army guys claiming victory!

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Outstanding press briefing by the Indian armed forces. Detailed, supported by imagery & full Q&A. Unlike the histrionic rubbish by ISPR.

Super impressed. Should be a standard template going forward. 🇮🇳

Pakistanis are celebrating ceasefire

While Indians are not happy!

[Ministry of Defence, Government of India @SpokespersonMoD]

Military stations at Jammu, Pathankot & Udhampur were targeted by Pakistani-origin #drones and missiles along the International Border in J&K today.

The threats were swiftly neutralised using kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities in line with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). No casualties or material losses were reported.

India remains fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and ensure the safety of its people.

PAKISTAN’S BID TO ESCALATE NEGATED - PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE BY INDIA

▪️On the night of 07-08 May 2025, Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj, using drones and missiles

▪️These were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems. The debris of these attacks is now being recovered from a number of locations that prove the Pakistani attacks

▪️Today morning, Indian Armed Forces targeted Air Defence Radars and systems at a number of locations in Pakistan. Indian response has been in the same domain with same intensity as Pakistan. It has been reliably learnt that an Air Defence system at Lahore has been neutralised

No nation should have to accept terrorist attacks being launched against it from land controlled by another country.

India is justified in striking terrorist infrastructure. There can be no impunity for terrorists.

Al Jazeera reaches out to me for my reaction. Here is the discussion:

“AJ: Would you be interested in joining us at around 6:30 new delhi time to discuss the latest escalations between India and Pakistan?

Me: Yes.

AJ: Just quickly, What do you think about what is happening? Whats your stance?

Me: It is continuation of proxy war of Pakistan executed with military precision and requires most brutal and disproportionate response from Indian state.

AJ: Sorry sir. Let’s do it sometime later.”

This is their level of “unbiased” journalism! @AlJazeera
