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.
@TheViditsharma@law_ninja Understand the thought process. But may be the child lives an area where there are a lot of stray dogs, had cases of dog bites etc. and has been sub consciously trained to be a bit aggressive towards strays.
Or hes just being naughty
I mean not fair to pass judgements
@PAPA_JI_4141 Did you see the angle which iyer took for running ? Ball watching and making a banana shape and got run out by 3 inches. Completely iyers fault , danger end was sundar’s
No child is born able to read. The brain ships with no reading region at all. It builds one, and the construction runs on the exact effort AI removes.
Learning to read physically repurposes a patch of visual cortex. A spot in the left fusiform gyrus starts out tuned to objects and faces. Through months of effortful decoding, a 6-year-old converts it into the visual word form area, the region every literate adult uses to recognize words on sight. Stanislas Dehaene mapped it and called it neuronal recycling. Pre-literate kids show no special response to letters there. It shows up only as they struggle to read.
The struggle is the build signal. When a child strains to sound out a word or hold a sum in working memory, focus chemicals like acetylcholine and norepinephrine flag that circuit as worth keeping. Effort is how the nervous system marks which synapses to strengthen. Low effort, no marker.
Errors carry the same signal. The brain learns from the gap between what it predicted and what turned out true. Each wrong guess followed by a correction releases the dopamine that drives the rewire. Fluent, instant output produces almost none of it.
The wiring locks in later, during deep sleep, when the circuits tagged that day get consolidated. Only the ones that fired hard enough to get tagged. A child who never strained tagged nothing to keep.
Hand that child a model that returns the sentence or the answer on demand, and the strain, the errors, and the prediction gap vanish at once. The worksheet looks finished. The cortex that should have rewired underneath it never fired.
The window is the urgent part. The tissue reading recycles is where childhood plasticity peaks, and ages 6 to 13 are when that repurposing is cheapest. Miss the reps then and the same wiring costs far more to build later, if it builds at all.
Norway is the country that already ran the opposite experiment. In 2016 they gave a tablet to every 5-year-old, went all in on screens in class, and watched the results for a decade. Now they're pulling AI out for ages 6 to 13 and funding paper books again. A government reading its own data ahead of the curve.
The biology is identical in every country. Norway just moved on it first. Watch how fast others follow.
@Saurabh_Unmute Ghar lene ka baad jab cow and camel katenge . Samne na fir baat karna janaab. Bagal main patel nagae ilaka hai das saal main poori demography change hui aur wo tune report nahi kari . Poori detail to share kar , fake reporter
@sardesairajdeep@BCCI@GautamGambhir True . Even if other teams do not have quality spinners, an average spinner would look unplayable on these surfaces

Sambhaji Maharaj wasn’t the only one.
In 1716, Banda Singh Bahadur was forced by the Mughals to eat the flesh of his 4-year-old son before being tortured and cut into pieces.
Let’s learn about the man who shook the Mughal empire.
