I had my friend's wedding today instead of giving a physical gift I have gifted stocks through @zerodha. Thank you Zerodha for having this cool feature where people can gift stocks in three simple steps.
Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk was forcibly removed after a 21-day hunger strike, prompting organisers to call for nationwide protests and demand PM Narendra Modi’s resignation.
What a shame!
The world watches democracy in India being broken by force, shamelessly.
Even peaceful protests for students against an incompetent minister are not tolerated anymore.
World is witnessing a Coward government who don’t want to engage in a dialogue with the youth but want to behave like Dictators . Forcibly taking away @Wangchuk66 and disrupting Students peaceful protest is a sign of Fear . What a SHAME #justasking
पेपर लीक के खिलाफ चल रहे Sonam Wangchuk जी के शांतिपूर्ण अनशन को खत्म करने के लिए सरकार ने बातचीत का रास्ता नहीं चुना, बल्कि जबरदस्ती और गुंडागर्दी का सहारा लिया।
यह साफ दिखाता है कि सरकार छात्रों की आवाज़ से डर गई है।
15 days and counting. Sonam Wangchuk is a man of remarkable grit. While most politicians retreat to cooler climes in summer, here is someone showing what Gandhian-style, peaceful resistance is truly about. You don’t have to agree with everything he says, but for sheer courage and conviction, he deserves a SALUTE! 💪🏻
And an aside: when Anna Hazare fasted, we in the media covered it round the clock. Sonam Wangchuk’s 15-day protest? Barely a mention. Says a lot about what we choose to amplify and how much things have changed since 2011. 🙏
He can't speak English without a teleprompter.
He can't even deliver a few lines in Hindi without reading from a chit.
In India, he pretends to be non-biological, some kind of divine figure.
But in front of the US, China, and other powerful nations, he suddenly turns into a below-average ordinary human.
#EditorsPeek: The Indian internet made Helle Lyng a symbol of “courageous journalism” overnight.
But the controversy points to a bigger question: what if we gave even a fraction of that support to Indian journalists who report in far riskier situations?

One #KeralaStory from the recent election results that communalists should note: a Muslim majority constituency, Thavanur, elected a Christian, VS Joy; a Hindu majority constituency, Kalamassery, elected a Muslim. VE Abdul Gafoor; and a Christian majority constituency, Kochi, elected a Muslim, Muhammed Shiyas. Despite some influence from the national trends in favour of identity politics, Kerala remains a model of communal harmony, a state where people see human beings first and caste or religion later

The results of the recent state elections have been dramatic by any measure.
But for me, this image will remain the most unforgettable outcome of the elections.
More than 166,000 votes were cast between the two leading candidates in this constituency in Tamil Nadu.
And history was changed by just one vote.
This image should be shown in every school in the country & perhaps around the world.
So that every child understands that when they grow up, the greatest power they may possess is the Power of One.
The power of their one vote.
TVK CANDIDATE WON BY A SINGLE VOTE
Srinivasa Sethupathy (TVK party) with 83,013 votes.
Periyakaruppan (DMK party) with 83,012 votes.
The candidate from the TVK party won by exactly 1 vote. In a major election with over 160,000 people voting,
a single vote deciding the winner is extremely rare and highlights how every single person's vote truly matters.
🚨DMK gave Tamil Nadu 11% GDP growth.
Highest in India. Still lost the elections. Why?
A 2-year-old party promised MORE freebies and won.
TVK’s promises:
• ₹2,500/month cash to women
• 6 free LPG cylinders/year
• 200 units free electricity
• ₹4,000/month for unemployed graduates
• Free buses for women + education loans up to ₹20L
This is the new pattern across India.
Every election, the number goes higher.
Every government outbids the last.
Is this public welfare or economic collapse?
What do you think?
34 officers gone. Who's running Punjab?
The Election Commission just pulled 34 IAS and IPS officers from Punjab.
Election duty across 5 states.
West Bengal. Assam. Kerala. Tamil Nadu. Puducherry.
Constitutional obligation? Yes.
But who thought about Punjab's governance?
Senior leadership is out.
Day-to-day administration is now on autopilot.
Files will pile up. Decisions will wait.
Projects will slow down.
This is the hard truth nobody talks about.
Images that should haunt the world. Funeral graves of 165 young school girls killed in Israeli/US bombing that hit a school in Mina in Iran. Far away from Trumpian comfort in Mar-a-Lago. SAY NO TO WAR!. #StopTheWar
Update Red Fort blast: list of those who have tragically passed away.

Lokesh (Hasanpur) , Amroha
Dinesh Mishra, 34, Shravasti

Most of the victims are poor, anonymous Indians, in some cases sole bread winners. TRAGIC. ZERO TOLERANCE to those involved and their handlers.
