[Shashank Singh @Shashank4singh]

Shameful that a minor was bullied into a public apology. Abuses against Nehru and Gandhi are normalized, and even BJP spokesperson have used vile language publicly, yet the harshest outrage was reserved for a minor. Standards should apply equally to everyone.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

ASKING: Will we ever see the day when IT cell trolls who hurl vile abuse every day—especially at women in public life—are held accountable, let alone apologise? Or will these serial offenders continue to enjoy complete impunity while teenagers face FIRs and threats? One law for the powerful, another for everyone else?🙏

Why Are Police Name Tags Missing?

बैच हटाकर, नाम छुपाकर अगर पुलिस कार्रवाई करती है, तो इस बात का शक होता है कि वो पुलिस है भी या नहीं है। मुझे यही डर है कि इस प्रोटेस्ट में कहीं पुलिस की वर्दी पहनकर कुछ ऐसे गुंड��� न घुस जाएं, जो छात्रों के साथ कुछ ऐसा कर दें जिसकी उम्मीद हमने की ही नहीं है। यह आखिरी मौका है देश के एजुकेशन सिस्टम की लड़ाई को लड़ने का और उसे बचाने का। ऐसे में हमें इन सब चीज़ों से सावधान भी रहना है और आने वाले खतरों के लिए तैयार भी रहना है।

@TheNewspinch @Abhinav_Pan That’s @_praruj_ saying what most of us feel about this protest. We support the core issue, but it’s also frustrating to see the protest being hijacked by Left-wing idiots who are using it as an opportunity to further their own political agenda than the issue itself.

[Shashank Singh @Shashank4singh]

@_praruj_ @Wangchuk66 Whether the Left is part of a protest shouldn’t stop others from joining if the cause is just. Judge the issue, not who is standing beside you. We may disagree with the Left on many things, but on issues that matter, both the Left and the Right should be able to stand together.

[Adv. प्ररूज पाण्डेय @_praruj_]

I've genuine concerns about @Wangchuk66, but the entire agitation has been captured by the Left. These people are the reason why many ordinary people aren't joining this protest. Horrendous remarks by Abhijit Dahiya on Hindu deities, Premanand baba only reinforce that perception.

To know the first-hand impact, I conducted a mileage test on my 2018 Royal Enfield Classic 350. After the bike ran out of petrol, I filled just 1 litre and got exactly 32 km/L, which is significantly lower than the 38 km/L I used to get two years ago.
This suggests that even-1/2

It's a shame no major film has been made about Biju Patnaik. He lived a life that sounds almost fictional:

In 1938, he flew his entire wedding procession by aircraft to Rawalpindi for his marriage to Gyanwati Sethi (who became the first Indian woman to hold a commercial pilot’s license, and the couple later flew daring missions together.)

While serving in the Royal Indian Air Force (including as head of Air Transport Command), he secretly ferried freedom fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Aruna Asaf Ali to their hideouts. He also airdropped 'Quit India' leaflets to Indian troops while evacuating British families.

The British once jailed him for transporting nationalist leaders and distributing anti-British literature but also honored him for bravery in evacuating civilians from Japanese-occupied Burma.

During WWII, he flew daring missions delivering arms and supplies to Soviet forces in Stalingrad, and over the treacherous 'Hump' route to China in
support of Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese.

In July 1947, he and his wife flew a Dakota into Indonesia, landed on an improvised airstrip while evading Dutch anti-aircraft fire, rescued Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir, refuelled using abandoned Japanese fuel, and flew him safely to India via Singapore.

A couple of months later, during the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, he airlifted one of the first Indian troops into Srinagar.

The same year he founded Kalinga Airlines, one of India's earliest private airlines.

As Odisha CM post-1962 India-China war, he secretly visited CIA headquarters at Langley to forge a covert India-US partnership against China, which led to the Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia, which supported U-2 recon missions over Tibet.

He was also a legendary administrator and statesman, laying much of the foundation of Odisha's industrial empire (mines, ports, heavy industries etc).

When he passed away, Indonesia observed 7 days of state mourning. Russia observed 1 day. He remains the only person in Indian history whose body was draped in the national flags of 3 nations - India, Indonesia, and Russia.

Few public figures have left such a footprint.

His extraordinary life needs to be brought to the big screen.

🚨#𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 | Our investigation found that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's family and their real estate firms acquired at least 137 plots spanning 168 acres in Ujjain for ₹45 crore in two years since December 2023 — mostly in areas benefiting from road projects and land-use changes his government announced. Here is a quick look at how much land each of his family members own

@cyberabadpolice @psmadhapur_cyb @hydcitypolice @CPHydCity @TelanganaCOPs @TelanganaDGP @TelanganaCMO @revanth_anumula Sir, despite sharing the live location of the stolen phone, officers at @psmadhapur_cyb are refusing to verify it. If police won’t act even with real-time tracking, what are citizens supposed to do? Kindly intervene

[Shashank Singh @Shashank4singh]

@hydcitypolice @CPHydCity My friend’s phone was stolen on 22nd May on the metro. She has already filed a complaint at the Madhapur Police Station. Since last night, the stolen phone has been switched on, and its location is visible through Find My Device.

[Shashank Singh @Shashank4singh]

@cyberabadpolice @psmadhapur_cyb @cyberabadpolice @hydcitypolice @CPHydCity, We visited @psmadhapur_cyb, but despite having the live location of the stolen phone, no verification was done. Why are police refusing even a basic sanity check? Public safety is at risk if citizens are expected to search on their own.

I was eating chaap in Patel Nagar after coming from court. The shopkeeper told me, “भैया, कल से दुकान बंद रहेगी, गैस आज खत्म हो जाएगी।”
I said, “Start using coal.” He replied, “We can’t use it inside the shop, and when I tried outside, MCD officials didn’t allow it.” -1/2

@_praruj_ How exactly does a clash between the US and Iran become a test of Indian Navy capabilities? Unless India is directly involved or its waters are violated, intervening in international waters would mean inserting ourselves into someone else’s conflict and effectively picking a side

UGC’s new “equity” regulations on campuses risk replacing academic freedom with bureaucratic control. Equality cannot be imposed by policy fiat it must grow through dialogue, diversity of thought, and institutional autonomy.

@sanket Unskilled ≠ uneducated.
A job is “unskilled” if it needs no prior training or specialised expertise, anyone with a vehicle and an app can enter. That’s zero entry barrier.
Bringing UPSC into this is a strawman.
emotional analogies doesn’t strengthen your argument, it weakens it.

Facts below (1/5):

In 2025, average earnings per hour (EPH), excluding tips, for a delivery partner on Zomato were ₹102.
In 2024, this number was ₹92. That’s a ~10.9% year-on-year increase. Over a longer horizon also, EPH has shown steady growth.

Most delivery partners work for a few hours and only a few days in a month. But if someone were to work for 10 hours/day, 26 days/month, this translates to ~₹26,500/month in gross earnings. After accounting for fuel and maintenance (~20%), the net earnings for the partner are ~₹21,000/month.

Note: Earnings per hour are calculated on total hours logged in, including the time when the partner might be waiting to receive an order. Earnings per “busy hour” will be higher but that’s not the right metric to look at.

On top of this - delivery partners earn 100% of tips given by customers. The average tip per hour in 2025 on Zomato was INR 2.6 and in 2024 was INR 2.4 per hour. Tips are transferred instantly, with zero deductions. We absorb the payment gateway processing cost ourselves. About 5% of the orders get tipped on Zomato; 2.5% on Blinkit.
