Imagine lying in a hospital room, watching an IV line drip away your remaining life.
You are weak and terrified, but you endure the agony of chemotherapy because every drop represents hope, another birthday, another chance to watch your children grow. You hold your partner’s hand and pray the treatment works.
You die three months later. Your family grieves, believing the cancer was just too aggressive, never knowing that your fight was stolen from you before it even began. You weren't killed by a disease; you were executed by someone's profit margin.
The SIT arrested Veeresh Jain in Bengaluru for allegedly being involved in supplying fake anticancer medicines to more than 90 hospitals and clinics in Bengaluru, allegedly offering them at discounts of around 50 percent. Jain had been running this business for the last five years. His pharmacy allegedly repacked fake and expired medicines and relabelled them as drugs from big brands.
How many hundreds of men, women, and children in the last five years have fought with everything they had, kept their spirits up, and thought that staying positive would help the chemo work better, only to be handed a death sentence wrapped in counterfeit packaging? How many families emptied their life savings to buy bottled salt water while their loved ones faded away?
The most horrific part is that this is not an isolated case. It is happening with complete impunity across the country, only coming to light on the rare occasion that someone actually gets caught.
Indian Embassy in the USA tweets, "India’s position is clear and consistent. The so-called Court of Arbitration was illegally constituted in breach of the Indus Waters Treaty. Its “award” on interim measures and the status of the Treaty has no legal standing. India never recognised this body, never appeared before it, and will not be bound by its pronouncements. Sovereign decisions on the Indus Waters Treaty remain firmly in India’s hands. The Treaty stays in abeyance."
Shivcharan Gupta, 74, a cloth merchant living in an old age home in Sonipat, died yesterday. He had three daughters; sadly and surprisingly, not one of them turned up for his funeral.
He and his late wife had raised and educated their three daughters, ensuring they were all self-reliant and well-settled, two as schoolteachers, residing across Nepal, UP, and Mumbai. After his wife passed away, Shivcharan lived alone at the old age home, keeping a mobile phone solely to stay in touch with his children.
The manager of the old age home told the media that they had informed his three daughters 20 days ago about his deteriorating health, yet none made the trip to visit him. As his illness worsened, the daughters stopped taking his calls altogether. When Shivcharan finally died, the management immediately contacted them again and offered to hold off on the final rites until they could arrive, but none of the sisters agreed to travel.
Instead of showing up to bid their father farewell, the eldest daughter transferred ₹5,100 online to cover the ritual expenses and requested that the funeral be streamed over a video call. Though they initially asked the staff to preserve his ashes, they quickly backtracked, stating they "did not have time" to pick them up and requested that the old age home handle the immersion in the Ganges as well.
This is so tragic. If a life spent raising children ends in total solitude, one cannot help but ask what the long journey was truly for.
It takes a lot to be a stakeholder in Indian football. It has been like that for some time now. But when everything around looks like it will crumble, you bank on family to hold on to each other. And more often than not, it is the elders in the house that you turn to, for assurance. All of you at the TATA Group, through TFA first, and then @JamshedpurFC, have been one of our pillars.
To know that Jamshedpur has folded first team operations is a punch to the gut. The players and staff will be without clubs, and they might find one by the end of it all. The League will have a team less, but the season will go on. However, not having the TATA group involved in the top tier of Indian football - that would be a disaster with no alternative.
I understand that some tough decisions in sport are down to what makes sense in the board room. But I can only request and hope that the think tank at TATA picks their heart over head and reconsiders this call. It might be a poor business decision, but it will be the one Indian football needs the most at this hour.
The students' protest in Jharkhand is an example of what a protest should be.
It is peaceful, respectful, and rejects symbolic gestures, like demanding someone be fired, in favor of actionable, long-term policy solutions. They want structural reform: an independent CBI probe into recruitment scandals, permanent blacklisting and prosecution of corrupt vendors, age-limit relaxations for affected candidates, fixed annual exam calendars, and complete transparency in evaluation processes.
Driven entirely by real, ground-level aspirants with no political agenda, the movement maintains a strict distance from all political parties.
This is precisely the kind of cause around which the nation's youth, civil society, self proclaimed apolitical social commentators, and "concerned" celebrities ought to rally. However, because these students lack the funding to hire influencers or celebrities to transform their struggle into a viral, pop-culture trend that everyone wants to be a part of and also don't have the backing of student organisations that have the resources, methods and influence to force governments to the table, their movement will be unfairly overlooked.
APPEAL TO TATA GROUP
We, the players of Jamshedpur, with folded hands plead to Tata’s Top Leadership to rethink their decision. And not destroy the future of Indian Football. This club is the heart and soul of Indian football and the only hope for lakhs of upcoming players.
You rarely get a mic at the UNHRC, so when you do, you don't waste it on generic speeches. You make every second count.
@asuvathaman did just that by taking two vital issues to the global stage: forced religious conversions and the erosion of ancient civilizations.
He reminded the world that Hinduism is a nature-centric civilization, not just a religion. Every time an indigenous culture is converted and erased, humanity loses centuries of ecological wisdom that no modern climate policy can replace. It’s high time the world views cultural survival as environmental protection.
Seeing the “cockroaches” gathered at Jantar Mantar reminds me of Bangladesh’s July 2024 movement. The students began with the slogan, “Quota or merit? Merit, merit,” and ended up demanding the fall of the government. Bangladesh as a whole is now paying the price for what followed. Militant jihadists have seized power. Brutality, communalism, religious fanaticism, misogyny, terrorism, and anarchy are destroying the country.
Since the July movement, I have felt apprehensive whenever I see students gathering anywhere. I can no longer trust such gatherings easily. July 2024 taught me that not every student movement stands for democracy, not every anti-government movement leads to freedom, and not every revolution is truly a revolution. Some revolutions remove an old regime only to open the door to an even more frightening darkness.
I frankly dont care for this nautanki. Please sit peacefully at Jantar Mantar and keep protesting but if u take to streets in a bid overrun parliament then be ready to face the music at the hand of security forces.
For one month you protested peacefully, Govt gave u space at Jantar Mantar. In meanwhile RE-NEET was done and results were declared. You could have continued protesting but no you wanted to create Nepal and remove Modi then face the music.
But then CJP tried to make it political by making Arundhati Roy, Yogendra Yadav, AAP & leftist unions like AISA to take over for march to parliament. If you want to get into political activism and become tools for leftists communists then should be ready for consequences.
Accountability in democracy is fixed by Courts or through elections. You cant aim to achieved the goal of overthrowing elected government of India by a violent insurrection in name of student causes.
No sympathies for anyone as we the people have seen playbook of activism many times in past few years. Please stop blocking roads & highways they are made for law abiding citizens who want to work and earn for themselves. We dont want our livelihoods to be disrupted for your misplaced political activism.
Woke are the worst kind of parents. They don't think twice about putting their children at risk if it serves their ideological purpose.
Okay, agreed, you want to do a peaceful protest, and you believe it is a peaceful protest. But what if rogue elements from the protest attack the police, and they resort to a lathicharge and tear gas to restore order, triggering a stampede? Who will be responsible for the children then?
It will be your responsibility, a direct result of your poor parenting and failure to assess the risk of what you are doing, or worse, knowing the risk and ignoring it anyway. You will be responsible, but since you guys have no insight, I know you will surely blame the state.
Satara district saw milk collection drop by 27,000 litres after FDA chief @Tukaram_IndIAS began the crackdown on adulteration.
Imagine what we were/are consuming all these years and the scale of it.
Every Indian state needs a Tukaram Mundhe.
@Indian_Analyzer Kedarnath is not a picnic spot. It's situated in a very delicate environment. Spiritual voyage is not for comfort. It's for journey within. I am worried this would spoil the sanctity of the temple.
A daycare employee at Capgemini's Bengaluru campus couldn't bear the abuse of the kids at the centre.
She reported it to supervisor, but instead of taking action, they fired her. She then became a whistleblower and leaked videos that exposed the abuse.
In the videos, toddlers were made to sit inside the drum of a front-loading washing machine, had water sprayed into their mouths using a toilet jet spray, were locked inside bathrooms, and were forced into narrow, water-filled pipes to frighten them. The videos triggered outrage, forcing authorities to act.
Today, according to media reports, the police have arrested the whistleblower only for allegedly "leaking sensitive videos." Lol! What a system! A poor woman with a clear conscience stood up to the powerful and went public, not for personal gain or with any malicious intent, but solely to protect those children. And she's the one who gets arrested.
Radio stations are shutting down. Radio Nasha, Radio One, and Fever FM are just the beginning, and more will follow soon.
If the FM industry wants to save itself, it should just play songs with just a few sober ads in between. Nobody is interested in weather, traffic, or score updates, cringe jokes, loud ads, useless lectures, love guru preaching, and lousy pranks.
And most importantly, fire RJs. They are insufferable because they replace actual talent with screaming and fake energy. They talk at you in bizarre, plastic accents, laughing hysterically at their own terrible jokes and scripted prank calls that just bully ordinary people. When they aren't blasting obnoxious sound effects, they are lecturing you with cringey, copy-pasted life advice. They barely even play music anymore; it's just endless talking, ad plugs, and noise.
In a world with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Spotify, etc, their loud, fake, and preachy style is nothing but an auditory assault that makes you want to smash your car radio.
The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).
The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.
The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.
Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.
This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.

Dear my Bengali brothers,
Don’t forget what happened to you in Malda and Murshidabad. Don’t forget what happened to us during the Yunus regime.
Now it’s your turn...
January 20, 1995: Sandeep, the 13-year-old son of a cement businessman, left for school in Delhi but never returned.
The family searched extensively but couldn’t find him. The next day, the businessman received a call stating that his son had been kidnapped, with a ransom demand of ₹30,000.
The kidnappers instructed him to leave the money in a bus near Loni flyover and warned him not to inform the police. The family informed the police anyway, and a case was registered at Gokulpuri Police Station.
During the investigation, a neighbour said the child was seen in an autorickshaw with a tall man locally known as “Masterji” for being a school martial arts instructor. Police traced him, he was Salim Khan, a martial arts instructor at Ramjas School, Daryaganj. He confessed and led the police to a drain in Mustafabad, where the child’s body was found.
In 1997, the Karkardooma Court sentenced him to life imprisonment. He appealed in the Delhi High Court and was granted interim bail in 2000, but he absconded. In 2011, the High Court upheld his sentence, but he remained at large.
For 26 years, he hid in places like Karnal and Ambala, working as a wardrobe maker. Around 2010, he moved to Loni in Ghaziabad and opened a women’s clothing store. He later became a social activist and YouTuber under a new name, Salim Wastik, an ex-Muslim known for calling out radical preachers in Islam.
He had little name and fame until last month, when he was stabbed multiple times at his Ghaziabad home by two brothers, Zeeshan and Gulfam, for allegedly blasphemous comments on the Prophet, an incident that suddenly brought Salim into mainstream discussion. He survived, gaining newfound fame and a “warrior” image.
During this media coverage, the victim boy’s family noticed his face and suspected that he was the same Salim who had killed their son. They informed the police. Preliminary investigations, including fingerprint analysis, matched. Today, Salim Khan alias Salim Wastik was arrested.
Incidents like these make you believe that the consequences of your actions are paid here, in this life itself. Hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life.
The same journalists who passionately backed unsubstantiated Me Too claims are today victim shaming brave Hindu women who have suffered rape and forced conversion.
How long before being a Hindu victim is considered a crime in itself.
