More extraordinary that relatively rich countries couldn't protect their wildlife, and routinely cull dogs and cats. Unsure what link between humane behaviour and wealth is...
A month on, 85 TN pilgrims remain untraced after the devastating Nepal floods. For their families, every passing day brings no closure, only an agonising wait, unanswered questions and the silence of uncertainty.

It is extremely unfortunate and regrettable that the Department of the Air Force has decided to shutter the China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI). CASI, along with its sister institutions the China Maritime Studies Institute (CMSI), China Landpower Studies Center (CLSC)…

The fundamental problem is that the education system is irretrievably broken.
Neither does it catalyse critical thinking and much less creativity. Rote learning is still the name of the game.
Till the time you do not encourage pre, primary, middle and high schoolers to think for themselves and incentivise audacity that breaks conformism you will only build a society that will continue to pay obeisance to a feudal order that is both straight jacketed and hierarchiesed
It is only the ability to think and act freely that can break the chains of patriarchalism.
Band -Aid solutions should not do.
That is what Parliament should have discussed today - how to liberate the next generation from the shackles of mental slavery that is intrinsic to the fundamental DNA of India’s education system and by extension it’s social milieu.
Indian youth is oppressed by our education system. Modi govt must decentralise and let go…

🎙️ Episode 47 of CtrlAltDefence
🔗 Watch now: https://t.co/w6oD86rfp7
A deeply personal conversation on the life, legacy and enduring spirit of Captain Vikram Batra, PVC, one of India's most celebrated war heroes.
On this special episode of Ctrl Alt Defence, Vishnu Som speaks with Vishal Batra, Captain Vikram Batra's identical twin brother, about the man behind the legend—from their childhood and shared dream of serving the nation to the defining moments of the Kargil War that made "Yeh Dil Maange More" a battle cry etched into India's military history.
The discussion explores Vishal Batra's new book, Yeh Dil Maange More, which draws on Captain Vikram Batra's personal letters, family memories and untold stories to paint an intimate portrait of the Param Vir Chakra awardee beyond the battlefield. The book traces his journey from a young boy inspired by the Army to the officer who led from the front at Point 5140 and Point 4875 during the Kargil War.
When one says they support the two-state solution, what is meant is that they support the creation of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state--as the state of Israel is already there. India's position towards the Palestine question has evolved over the years. But at its core, India has always maintained that it supports the creation of an independent Palestine. Unless the Palestine question is addressed, you are not going to get peace and stability in West Asia. And India's core interests in the region are rooted in stability. Israel, on the other side, wants to continue the occupation and its militarism. netanyahu said even last week that there wouldn't be two states between the 'Sea and Jordan'.
India has taken the right position. But are its policies towards the region in sync with with this position?
The difference between a builder's mentality vs. a spec writer's mentality.
Zorawar has got a new set of specs and 0 orders after years of testing
India's acquisition arm is stuck in the DPSU era where no orders did not jeopardize the DPSU's ability to survive!
Bloody BEL should be banned from importing and white labeling Israeli products. This has become an easy wayout for them and have been messing up with a lot of projects with poor integration jobs.
I had hacked CBSE's OSM (On-Screen Marking Portal) in February and had reported the vulnerabilities to CERT-In, but they were unable to patch most of them.
I've written a detailed blog post about it here: https://t.co/qyT23GkTEJ
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

O Papa Leão XIV disse que a democracia corre o risco de se tornar uma máscara para o domínio das elites econômicas e tecnológicas.
Nosso papel é desmascarar essas forças.
Desmascarar aqueles que dizem estar ao lado do povo, mas governam para os mais ricos.
Que se dizem patriotas, mas põem a soberania à venda e pedem sanções contra o próprio país.
Que proclamam defender a família, mas fecham os olhos para a violência contra as mulheres e o abuso sexual de crianças.
Que se declaram donos da verdade, mas espalham mentiras e desinformação.
Que se consideram homens de Deus, mas não têm amor ao próximo.
Que falam em liberdade, mas perseguem quem é diferente.
Temos que substituir o desalento pelo sonho. O ódio pela esperança.
Projetar um futuro melhor.
Um futuro com justiça social, igualdade e democracia.
Não como palavras de ordem, mas como realidade viva.
Uma pessoa não envelhece pela quantidade de anos, mas pela falta de motivação.
A política só tem sentido quando se tem uma causa.
A minha causa é a democracia. A minha causa é a liberdade. A minha causa é a igualdade. A minha causa é garantir que todas as pessoas sejam respeitadas.
Africa is a reservoir of joy and hope for the whole world. Its young people and its poor still dream; they hope still; they do not settle for what already exists. They desire to rise up again, to prepare for great responsibilities, to put themselves on the line personally. The desire for the infinite that dwells in the human heart is a principle of social transformation deeper than any political or cultural program. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

Alzar la voz contra una guerra ilegal no siempre es cómodo, pero sin duda es lo correcto.
La neutralidad ante la injusticia no es prudencia: es renuncia. Y no renunciaremos a lo que somos.
