This is my biggest fear for the nations future. Well educated and resourceful folks either for lack if history reading or memory forget the choas of 80s/90s or the top level corruption in 2010s.
Yes this govt has dissappointed on very elevated expectations.

Indexation removed !? Are you fucking kidding me ?
STT was introduced to counter the low LTCG. Now LTCG increased & STT along with removal of indexation.
Has to be the worst ever FM in d history!

I once had an interview with Azeem when I was looking for my first job.

I was young, excited, wanting to become a writer.

East India Comedy used to work from a 3-BHK at the time. Sahil Shah had helped me land the interview.

Azeem looks at my CV and the first thing he tells me is - "I have blocked you on Twitter."

I thought it was a strange way to begin an interview. I had never interacted with him on Twitter. We never had even an exchange or any conversation.

So he opens my profile on his laptop, unblocks me (so he can access the Tweets) and then scrolls down and reads a few tweets till he finds one particular tweet and says - "Ah yes, it was this one."

AIB at that time had made a video where they made jokes on cows / gaumutra in the sketch. I had put out a tweet stating that it was easy for comics to make jokes on Hinduism but I've never seen them take such liberty with other religions / faiths / beliefs. And that they were not equal opportunity offenders.

I was asked to 'explain' this tweet. And so I did. And it led to a discussion and argument for over 10 minutes, where I was repeatedly told I was wrong, after which the interview ended. I had applied to be a 'writer' and I was asked nothing about it - what I had written, what I wanted to write, my skillsets and so no. Nothing.

I was too young to be confident or have strong self belief, and I walked out thinking maybe I shouldn't have put out that tweet - it cost me this job.

What I found strange even back then, was that a person much senior to me in the profession, would be fixated on some tweet, and was not open to another opinion or point-of-view that was different from his.

Surely, it would help to have people with different views writing for a news satire show?

I was naive.

The goal is never diversity of thought or opinion.

The view or angle is always pre-decided. All they need is people to further it.

Such an amazing work. These are heroes.

Yesterday a small calf of 3–4-days was swept away by the Teesta River near Gajoldoba and found several kilometres downstream. While mother was looking after it. See how it was saved by fisherman and united with the help of forest staff.

[Rewa @CopiumState]

That JNU professor accused of molesting 11 women on campus barely received any coverage because of his ideological affiliations, while here an institution is apologising for a professor doing his job.

We need to put an end to the urban commie ecosystem and humanities cell.

[Ajeet Bharti @ajeetbharti]

There is no elected government anywhere. If you are a crowd, you are ruling.

[Pritam Thakur @sunrise12519]

@MumbaichaDon Ask his caste first if he is sc st go to jail yourself why waste time

[Ra_Bies 3.0 @Ra_Bies]

Because of the fear of SC ST Act, UC people will start not interacting with Dalits, not indulge eat drink with them, corporates would be reluctant to employ them and then we’d yet again be labelled as casteist, oppressors and charged with discrimination. What a vicious circle. There is no place for us

[Daku Incel Singh @nightbeatsdrop]

If you spend 20 years in jail because of a false SC/ST Act case, the government will give you zero compensation. But the person who filed the false case against you can still receive ₹12 lakh in compensation, even after the court establishes that the case was false. This is the kind of system we live in. 🤡🤡🤡

JNU professor sexually harasses 11 girls

IIT professor stops a student from cheating

Guess which one is the villain according to liberals?

[Deep Shah @shahdeep_21]

Useless folks into IITs 'studying' on our taxes

[Swati Chaturvedi @bainjal]

Incredibly tragic video… No director of any IIT should be reduced to this

[Vired999 @vired999]

@IITKgp @saket71 You are partly LYING. A large percentage of students enter IITs on the strength of their caste certificates. The system is broken — you should acknowledge it honestly.

[Deep Shah @shahdeep_21]

Thoda to copying allowed hona chahiye. It's unfair to admit someone in the same class with different cut offs and then give the same question paper and then not even allowing some copying

[BhikuMhatre @MumbaichaDon]

Congrats!

IIT Bombay has accepted student protestors' demand, To SUSPEND Prof. Suryanarayana Doolla by 12 pm tomorrow. IIT Director announces.

Prof Doolla deserves this. How can he catch & disturb a student when he was sincerely busy in Copying during exam!

This's so wrong. Young minds need concentration while writing exam & double concentration while copying & that too with ChatGPT. How did Prof Doolla dare to catch him & disturb his concentration? Shame!

Go, Prof Doolla! Go out of IIT. Go out of India. Settle somewhere abroad where your brilliant mind will be awarded & rewarded. India doesn't need Brilliant minds, India needs "Young" minds. We will happily blame you & cry on "Brain Drain" without doing introspection. This will never stop.

Go, Prof Doolla. India doesn't deserve you.

Govt must pass "Right to Copy Act" at earliest to avoid such incidences in future.

Ps: About "Casteist Slurs" allegations.... let probe happen but with a question— Why did allegations surface now "suddenly" after 3 months? If not authorities of IIT, weren't friends & parents of the victim aware of it if it was happening for whole 3 months? Why didn't any of them raise a voice then? Pls probe this angle too.

2. If you continue,entrench & amplify the legacy problems created by the Nehruvian establishment,you must take responsibility for the current state of affairs instead of going back to Nehru.If 12 yrs isn't enough to at least stem the rot,it's not incompetence-it's intentional.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Sahil, a B Tech student at IIT Bombay, died by suicide after being caught using a phone during an exam. IIT said he uploaded the paper to ChatGPT for answers inside the exam hall.

Police booked the faculty who caught him under the SC/ST Atrocities Act on the complaint of Sahil's father, because why not. If there’s a mechanism to spin the story from "died by suicide out of fear after getting caught cheating" into "died after being forced to cheat because evil faculty relentlessly tormented him for his caste and threatened to fail him," you might as well pull that lever.

Sahil’s father claimed that "under instructions from IIT Director", faculty member Suryanarayan Dulla had been targeting his son with casteist slurs since long, a revelation that apparently only struck him post-tragedy.

Caste-based activist groups and political parties will inevitably exploit this to engineer Rohith Vemula 2.0. We are drifting toward an educational environment where faculty members dare not report academic dishonesty or fail underperforming students, wary that a Atrocities case could be weaponized against them retrospectively.

[Anuradha Tiwari @talk2anuradha]

We have reached a dangerous point for India’s education system.

A professor stopping a student from cheating is being treated as caste discrimination and he is being booked under the SC/ST Act.

The downfall is already here!

[AWACS Sky Keeper @HQuarterma43504]

23 out of the 24 railway officers posted at Bhopal Junction on the midnight of December 3, 1984 died at their posts trying to instruct the incoming trains to leave the station ASAP at high speed and not stop, as the air at the railway station was choked with methyl isocyanate and would have resulted in far more casualties as the station would've become crowded with passengers.

[Varun Rao @varungrao]

As per reports, Dharwad Tahasildar allegedly demanded a ₹1 crore bribe from a developer (with a ₹50L advance) to remove a 'C Kharab' land classification on Bhoomi.

The system isn't just broken; it is completely rotten.

We all know the standard administrative playbook: Raided today ➡️ Suspended tomorrow ➡️ Case drags on for years ➡️ Quietly reinstated in a new location with a transfer

Out of all the govt officers caught red-handed in bribery cases over the last decade, how many have actually been convicted and dismissed from service? We need to see the conviction rate.

So is this the bare minimumz?

[The Times Of India @timesofindia]

Days after an 81-year-old Mira Road resident met his schoolmate, PM #NarendraModi, alleging encroachment of his land in Bhayander by a construction firm owned by BJP #MLA Narendra Mehta, the politician said on Tuesday that he is giving up possession of the disputed land and surrendering the nod for construction granted to him for the plot. Mehta also said he was withdrawing a complaint he had earlier filed against the elderly man, Asgar Ali Vora.
