My greatest disappointment as an adult was discovering that bad people get away with everything.

[Hardik Rajgor @Hardism]

My father gets a call from a fraudster pretending to be a Blue Dart delivery guy.

The guy names some client or references some real documents, so my father thinks it is genuine.

He asks my father to press some number with * and # on his Android phone.

My father starts typing and then midway realises that this is shady. So he cuts the call, blocks the number and calls to tell me what happened.

My instinct tells me that it was an attempt to activate call forwarding or some such, so that the fraudsters can get access to OTPs to execute a transaction. (Or it could be something else? So I need to call Jio and find out if any activity has been done on that number.)

I call @JioCare customer support in panic.

And then…

I’m just talking to an automated machine for the next ONE HOUR.

There is no way to get in touch with a human.

If you think I’m making it up, you can try it yourself.

I tweet to them. I DM them. It’s been over 10 hours and I still don’t have any reply from anyone at Jio.

Now think about this.

It’s a game of seconds and minutes.

That is how much fraudsters need when they have access to your information. It’s all about executing that one transaction.

You can lose lakhs of rupees in an instant. I know this because it has happened to people around me.

And in that moment, I couldn’t reach Jio for hours.

If I lose money through a financial fraud, will @reliancejio pay for it?

What is the point of “Customer Support” when there’s simply no support available when you need it?

Nothing has happened so far (thank god), but I know for sure that there’s zero trust I have in Jio to help me in an urgency.

Our systems and processes are simply not ready or prepared to handle such issues. Neither on the telecom side, nor on the police or cyber crime side. You will be on your own.

If you have parents or elders at home, please do tell them about frauds like these, and please please activate 2FA on their mail and banking accounts. It may seem like one needless extra step but it could prove priceless in a moment like this.

Fuel prices increased four times this week

Heatwaves are killing people

NEET exam paper leak has broken many students

CBSC mess up is the latest on the list

Trees are vanishing, forests are being devoured by corporate giants

Groundwater levels are falling

Food inflation is at its peak, markets are tumbling, no clue where the economy is diving

Rupee is competing with the “intelligence” of my fellow countrymen

BUT we are peaking at clownery and pig performances!

Good job India 🇮🇳

For a country so crippling with heat and no safe water for billions we want to build this abomination. Please stop for the love of god

[Dr Jason Philip. M.S., MCh @Jasonphilip8]

The Indian Rupee is falling, it is currently around 96 to a dollar. It is also falling against other currencies.
A falling Rupee is an invisible tax on every Indian family. When the Rupee weakens:
- Fertilisers, Electronics, Medicine become costlier.
- Your savings in the bank, lose value, EMIs hurt more
- Indian students abroad hv to suffer.
- Purchasing ability of every Indian falls.
- Petrol/Diesel prices go up. Since, everything from vegetables to textiles to electronics have to be transported by diesel trucks, all prices go up. Inflation soars, hurting the common Indian.
Countries with strong export driven manufacturing bases escape- Germany, China, Korea, can offset currency weakness thro export dominance. But, Indian politicians never bothered to ⬆️ the manufacturing base of our country. We instead invested in the services sector, when given a choice btw services & manufacturing.
We will reap the consequences. India hardly produces any high value goods of value to the world, unlike even Taiwan, Vietnam, or S.Korea. We run huge trade deficits against most countries. There is huge capital outflow. GDP can be doctored as usual. But the already miserable quality of life in India is going to plummet to hitherto unknown depths.
A weak Rupee also damages national prestige. Nations with collapsing currencies don’t project strength, they project vulnerability. If your salary ⬆️ from 50,000 to 60,000 Rs this month, but the Rupee plummets, u r actually poorer than last month. Weak currency punishes honest citizens.
This is the story of costlier food, costlier fuel, anxious middle classes, struggling youth, & fading purchasing power/ dreams. The misery of living in India just became worse.

5 minutes on this app dont pass without coming across four different horrifying headlines about how women in this country get brutally tortured by men on a regular basis. it makes me sick to my fucking stomach that this literally has become our average daily news

[Vasanth 💫 @gully_point]

I expected tweets like Anna should give good governance. Should do better numbers than last DMK government, etc..

But what they’re tweeting is..

“Leo das getup la vaanga na”

“Trisha va kootitu varadinga na”

“Oath edukumbodu kutty story solvingala na..”

Tamil Nadu is doomed..

[EngiNerd. @mainbhiengineer]

So many layoffs happening, India should immediately make severance pay tax free. It is ethically, morally, financially wrong to tax someone who is at their worst possible stage of life after job loss.

If you can't support your taxpayers directly, atleast don't punish them.

[Frontier Indica @frontierindica]

This is an Orwellian nightmare. Basically he is saying that the state will now photograph your car and debit your bank account directly. No court order, no notice, no consent, no due process. Just a camera, an algorithm, and instant access to your money. And millions of people will clap for this because muh "technology" and "no more queues."

Every wrongful deduction, every misread plate, every system error will drain your money first and maybe, if you're lucky, get reversed months later after you run around in circles with government authorities and court cases. But alas, those of us who call this out will be labelled aunty nashnul luddites.

[Maheshwer Peri @maheshperi]

This is a true story. A professor in India's premier educational engineering institution caught a student cheating in the exams and suspended him. Next day morning, the boys father who was a senior bureaucrat landed at his home and requested that the matter be forgotten and closed. When the requests and pleadings failed, The professor was warned of consequences. The academic that he was, the professor stuck to his guns.

The harassment started. Within a week an income tax notice was served on him seeking details of his foreign travels. A few days later, police landed up investigating a house purchased by the professor in his home town. Later the income tax investigated the sources of funds for that home. In the process of scrutiny, they questioned a few more 'source of funds'. For a professor working in a remote corner of India, this was all too much. He contemplated giving it all up and taking another job. The notices, hearings, responses and harassment continued for about 20 months. Luckily the professor was clean. His foreign travel was official. The house was in a new housing society set up by a group of academics. The management was supportive.

'For 20 months, they robbed me of my sleep', says the professor. On prodding if he would take a similar stand again, he painfully says 'I doubt'!

If you indeed want to fight corruption, the starting point has to be the source of corruption - the discretionary powers, arbitrariness and their abuse. It is rampant and completely normal. Remove the discretionary powers and 98% honest people will not worry of harassment when they do what is right!

@suchetadalal This story is being retold. Our education ecosystem is subsumed by corruption. And it is normal too..

Not getting LPG - Let’s buy induction
Not getting clean water - Let’s buy RO
Not getting electricity - Let’s buy inverter
Not getting clean air - Let’s buy air purifier

But sure, let’s never question why the hell we’re paying taxes to the government.

[Sahil Rajput @_sahilrajput]

Skill India. The CAG just exposed what INR 10,194 crore of your tax money actually bought.

PMKVY ran from 2015 to 2022. Three phases. INR 14,450 crore outlay. The goal was to skill 1.32 crore youth.

CAG audited it.

Here’s what they found.

95.90 lakh participants under PMKVY 2.0 and 3.0. For 90.66 lakh of them, that’s 94.53%, the bank account field was recorded as zero, null, N/A, or just left blank. Bank accounts were mandatory for Rs 500 DBT payments.

So where did the money go?

The remaining 5.24 lakh who actually had bank details? 12,122 account numbers were repeated across 52,381 people. And some of those accounts were literally “11111111111” and “123456”. Single digit entries. Text. Names. Special characters instead of account numbers.

Now here’s the wild part.

A company called Neelima Moving Pictures (NMP). Not even registered with the Registrar of Companies. This company certified 33,493 people across 8 states in 21 job roles between January and November 2020.

When CAG went looking for NMP in October 2022, the company didn’t exist anymore. They were told it shut down during COVID.

But the photos NMP submitted as training proof? Same batch photo used for Bihar’s Gaya district, UP’s Bahraich and Shravasti, Maharashtra’s Jalgaon, and Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar. Different states. Different batches. Same photo.

Emails sent by CAG for verification? 36.51% bounced. The ones that came back? Many were sent from training partner email IDs, not the actual trainees.

2.72 lakh email addresses were null. Over 3.08 lakh were repeated.

In Bihar, 3 out of 10 training centres were physically shut when inspectors showed up. The portal still showed training was happening.

34 lakh+ certified candidates have still not received their DBT payment. Overall placement rate? Just 41%.

And the official PMKVY website? Try opening https://t.co/IreLqQt9un right now. It doesn’t even load.

INR 10,000 crore spent to skill India’s youth. 94% didn’t even have valid bank accounts on record. Ghost companies certifying thousands with recycled photos. Centres that exist on a portal but are locked on the ground.

This isn’t an allegation. This is the Comptroller and Auditor General of India’s own report.

Who is accountable?

[Chinmayi Sripaada @Chinmayi]

Water is contaminated.
Paneer is adulterated.
Vegetables have lead.
Air is hazardous.
Rivers have toxic waste.
Bridges are collapsing and highways caving.

Indians, regardless of who your God is, will end up dying in hospitals or even before we reach the hospital, under a bridge which was reported with a crack but authorities will say - nothing wrong this is ‘Breaking India Anti National force’

The politicians whom we should hold accountable would have sent their family abroad and will be on the next carrier out of the country to safe air, water, food and overall security.
They are fine they always will be.

We are getting screwed.

[Hanie💗 @saasu123]

@SwiggyCares @Swiggy It's so annoying these days. No customer care support or anything. It's been 48 hours since the complaint. Of the 5 items we ordered, received only 3 and there has been no refund or anything. Are we mad to pay and not receive the items? And also 0 support!

Toxins in vegetables- Silent

Millions are getting cancer due to FSSAI failure

Yet Absolute silence!

[Gems @gemsofbabus_]

Cancer will keep rising in India, with millions of cases in the coming years, given the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we consume.

Thank you FSSAI & Environment Ministry. 🙏

"Don't Let Them Go, Papa... Will Your Police Give Me Justice?": 7 y/o's Last Words Before Dying 96 Days After Brutal Rape

- Her Father Was a Police Guard. He Couldn't Save His Own Daughter.

Araria-Purnia Gang-Rape Case: 2nd Oct 2025

It was the night of Navratri. While her Police guard father was on duty at a Durga Puja event, monsters crept into their home in Araria, Bihar.

The 7 y/o was sleeping between her mother and 10 y/o brother. Someone covered her mouth, dragged her to a bamboo field and destroyed her childhood forever.

When she regained consciousness, she was shivering with cold. Bleeding and broken, she somehow crawled back home and quietly wrapped herself in a blanket.

She tried waking her mother, but her mother... on heavy medication... didn't wake up. The little girl, too weak to scream, just lay there silently in her own blood.

When her father returned at 2:30 AM, he found the bed soaked in blood.

"Papa, someone came inside. They hurt me and left me to die."

For 96 days, she fought. Two surgeries. Endless pain. Doctors tried everything.

On Tuesday evening at 4 PM, her small body gave up.

Her last words still echo:
"Maa, don't let those monsters go."
"Doctor, you'll save me, won't you?"
"Papa... will your police give me justice?"

Her father wears a police uniform. But he couldn't protect his own child.

Five suspects were arrested. Their blood samples were taken on October 5th. It's been 3 months. No report. No real culprit caught.

When the family demanded answers, police said: "Let the elections finish, then we'll work on it."

A little girl is dead. A family is destroyed. And justice is waiting for elections to end.

Her mother keeps searching for her, asking "Where did my daughter go?"

Her uncle's words cut deep: "If a policeman's daughter can't get justice, what hope does a common man have?"

She was just 7. She wanted to live. She believed her papa's police would help.

She died waiting.

This isn't just a news story. This is the death of hope. The murder of innocence. The failure of every system meant to protect our children.

Her name deserves justice. Her pain deserves answers. Her last words deserve action. ~ [Dainik Bhaskar]

[Gaurav Pandhi @GauravPandhi]

In December 2012, a young woman was raped for hours in a moving bus in Delhi. She later died from her injuries. That moment shook India. Streets filled. Voices rose. The nation claimed its conscience had awakened.

At that very same time, somewhere in this country, a 15-year-old girl was growing up unaware that 13 years later she would face the same horror in NCR but this time in silence.

On 28 December 2025, a 28-year-old woman was gang-raped for over two hours in a moving van and thrown onto the road, broken and bleeding.

The crime was similar.
The brutality was the same.
But the society was different.

In 2012, we were outraged.
In 2025, we are numb.

More than 100 women are raped every single day in India. Not as headlines. Not as emergencies. Just as statistics we scroll past. This is not ignorance. This is moral exhaustion. A dead conscience.

A society that can no longer be shocked by violence against women has already failed them. And make no mistake: if this doesn’t disturb you, if it doesn’t anger you, if it doesn’t move you to demand change, then the crime isn’t happening somewhere else. It is happening within us, and in your mind.

The conscience must rise again.
Because every woman deserves a safer country. And every society that looks away deserves to be called out.
