[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

In 1990, Sarla Bhat, 27, was working as a staff nurse at Srinagar’s SKIMS hospital to support her family, even as fear forced her community to flee.

On April 15, 1990, Sarla was abducted from her hostel. For four agonizing days, JKLF terrorists subjected her to brutal torture and sexual assault. When her body was dumped in Mallabagh on April 19, her killers had carved the acronym "JKLF" directly into her flesh from a knife.

The horror continued for her family. When Sarla’s bullet-ridden body returned to Anantnag, the neighborhood was already a ghost town emptied by the exodus. Marooned and helpless, the grieving family could not find enough people to carry her to a funeral pyre. As they attempted her final rites, a grenade was hurled at their home. This targeted terror forced the last remaining Hindu families to flee.

Systemic apathy followed. Though a police complaint was filed in 1990, the file was buried. It took until 2025 for a Special Investigation Agency to reopen the case, naming four terrorists. Two are dead, one is absconding, and one is imprisoned: Yasin Malik, who was once pampered as a Damaad by New Delhi, invited to the high table as one of the esteemed "stakeholders in the Kashmir peace talks." Yesterday, chargesheet was filed in this case.

Sarla’s case is not isolated. Thousands of women faced similar brutality in Kashmir during the late 1980s and 1990s, leaving behind stories that have been completely erased from the records today.

Here What a Civilized nation did

[Sonam Mahajan @AsYouNotWish]

Yasin Malik’s men didn’t stop at raping the 27-year-old Kashmiri Hindu nurse Sarla Bhatt. They then murdered her, engraved the acronym ‘JKLF’ on her body, and mutilated it out of sheer contempt for her Hindu identity. After that, they issued multiple warnings to her family against cremating her remains according to Hindu rituals. The family still went ahead with the cremation, defying the threats. When they went to collect her cremated remains (asthi) later, a mob of around 200 Islamists descended upon the crematorium and stomped over them.

They didn’t stop even at that. They then bombed her family home with a grenade.

Do you really think all 200 of those monsters who showed up at the crematorium were foreign infiltrators, Pakistani terrorists, or JKLF members? These are the questions that make many Kashmiri Muslims very uncomfortable. The moment you raise these issues, especially when they present a narrative portraying their community as victims, they label you an Islamophobe or resort to similar accusations.

I have seen all kinds of Islamists, but the tribe in Kashmir is the craftiest. Many of them pretend to be atheists in private, yet their public behaviour and political leanings tell a completely different story. Very hard to take their words at face value.

Bloomberg has used words like "exquisite" and "delicacy" to explain Kopi Luwak, an Indonesian coffee whose beans are literally collected from poop of Asian civet.

But since "some" of the rocks of Indian Shilajit "might" have feces of birds stuck to it before cleaning, they wrote an entire hit piece to demean ancient Indian natural heritage.

Can Adani stop cutting the aravalis?

[Aravind @aravind]

I checked many weather websites and local stations for Delhi today, the max temperature I found was 38. But India's adversaries influenced world media are showing the same temp as 44. My hunch says this is being done to hurt travel and business to India.

Headquarters of European Commission is in a building with 13 floors.

Due to heatwave, EU shut down aircondition of floors 1 to 7 where lower rank official works.

Remaining floors from 8 to 13 was kept on.

Europeans are Classists!!!

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

The European Commission literally shut off air conditioning but only for floors 1-7, where people of lower rank work.

@JIX5A That child is a monster incarnation. How is he able to inflict so much violence for such a prolonged time. His family needs to be analysed for psychotic issues

Warning disturbing footage 🚨

⚠️Here is the complete updated account of the shocking incident at FirstCry Intellitots Preschool in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Maharashtra.

On June 22, 2026, a 23-month-old boy was dropped off by his mother, a 29-year-old lawyer, around 10:30 AM. A female caretaker reportedly took one child out of the classroom, locked the door from the outside, and left the remaining toddlers unattended for approximately 30 minutes.
During this unsupervised period, another toddler (around 2 to 2.5 years old) repeatedly attacked the victim. The assault lasted 10 to 15 minutes and included beating and biting. The victim suffered at least 17 bite marks on his back, along with injuries to his face, nose, lips, chest, back, and feet. He was reportedly groaning in pain for nearly 45 minutes with no staff member present to stop the attack or check on the children.

The entire incident was captured on the preschool’s CCTV cameras. When the mother picked up her son later that day, the school initially told her it was only minor scratches.

Upon removing his clothes at home, she discovered the extent of the injuries and immediately rushed him to a private hospital for treatment.

Parents then demanded the full unedited CCTV footage. However, the school allegedly refused to hand it over and kept providing only edited versions. There are also serious allegations that the management offered the family ₹10 lakh along with three years of free education in exchange for not filing a complaint, reportedly saying words to the effect of “you can’t do anything to us.” The parents rejected the offer and approached the police.

Police registered an FIR at MIDC CIDCO Police Station against six to seven individuals associated with the preschool. Those named include owner Vijay Reddy from Hyderabad, CEO Shubham Maheshwari from Pune, Maharashtra State Head Anuradha Singh, managers Mangesh Musale and Vaibhav Sawde, principal Kanchan Yewale, and the caretaker on duty.

The case concerns negligence and failure to ensure child safety. No arrests have been made so far. Police are continuing to examine the full CCTV footage and question staff members.

The Maharashtra Education Department has separately launched an inquiry into the preschool’s operations, including questions around proper licensing and municipal permissions.

As of June 26, 2026, the injured child remains under medical care at a private hospital. Both the police investigation and the education department probe are ongoing. The preschool management and FirstCry have not issued a detailed public statement so far.

The CCTV video has gone viral on social media, triggering widespread outrage over child safety standards, inadequate supervision in preschools and daycares, and the way the incident was initially handled by the school. Many parents are now demanding stricter regulations, better staff-to-child ratios, immediate transparency, and stronger accountability from such facilities.

POV: You’re a British citizen who just installed an air conditioner:

[Abhijit Iyer-Mitra @Iyervval]

You mean the same way the Palestinians went on voting for Pakistan at the OIC when our people were being killed?

[India First Post @ifpost47]

France is facing an intense heatwave. Temperatures are exceeding 40°C, schools have closed, many public buildings still lack air conditioning, and people in Paris are sleeping in parks to escape the heat.

Yet notice the difference in coverage.

Just weeks ago, France 24 English and several Western outlets heavily spotlighted India's heatwaves.

Now, when Europe is struggling, the framing is about "extreme weather" rather than portraying France as a failed country.

Indian media should report global events with the same consistency. Balanced coverage helps audiences understand that every country faces serious challenges.

[Aravind @aravind]

Next time there's any noise about human rights in India from the EU, India should condemn this sort of casteism and discrimination against lower ranked workers whose aircon was shut down. The world "casta" being European, such casteist discrimination has long existed in Europe.

[Sougat Chakraborty @sougat18]

If this happened in any city in India, it would have been national news.

[Aravind @aravind]

People abuse and dehumanize Indians any which way they like on X. For every report we send, X says there's no violation found. Yet, you call a Pakistani as Paki and you are suddenly violating rules. This shows even X is now infiltrated by Pak, just like they infiltrated Meta.

Pak is punching much above its weight in infowar simply by infiltrating and influencing media and social media companies. In India, people naively think German govt is anti-India due to DW programming or Elon is promoting anti-India content. The fact is, there's no agenda at these high levels.

Just a few countries are able to infiltrate and influence the world's narrative using their assets and money. This is something India can easily do given its economic power and human resources if it wishes to. At the least, India can fight against such influence that's anti-India by taking these up with relevant countries and companies.

For example, in the recent case of state planted hate against Indians in Singapore, it was not MEA or Indian Embassy which took up the issue with Singapore. Their govt, themselves, took it up to prevent problems. Or when hate is manufactured against Indians on SM in the US or UK, we do not see India taking it up with the companies or countries. This needs to change.

[Eminent Intellectual @total_woke_]

Why is Adani cutting trees in France?

[Aravind @aravind]

The whole thing, whoever was part of it, think is organic.

But it was a US planted psyop at a time Indians were getting very anti-US due to killing of Indian sailors. And things were going south for India-US relations, and BRICS meeting was coming up, India could realign etc.

Do understand there are forces making everyone behave in a certain way in every SM. You may think you are very independent, intelligent, and posting things yourself. But may be it is not that way.

For very similar posts I have done on China a year back, I only got push back from Indians and others. Because there was no algorithmic or state run psyop then. But there's now.

The agenda of the psyop is over. They will lie low for sometime now. Everyone who thought they were organically, on their own accord, posting on China will also calm down.
