Ever heard of Baagi Ballia?🔥
On 19th August 1942, this small district in Uttar Pradesh did what the whole nation dreamed of — they kicked the British out & declared independence. It lasted for 14 days. Leading this revolt was Chittu Pandey, remembered as the “Sher-e-Ballia.”
The British came back with force. Many were jailed. Many gave their lives. But Ballia had already earned a name: Baagi Ballia.
Since then, Ballia has been proudly called “Baagi Ballia” (Rebel Ballia) — a symbol of sacrifice, valor, and the indomitable spirit of independence.
Today, on Ballia Balidan Diwas, we salute those rebels.Their message was simple: Freedom is not given, it’s taken.
“Ballia’s sacrifice, India’s pride.” 🇮🇳

I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
The Siachen Sniffers and their handlers celebrated International Yoga Day amidst the icy heights of the world's highest battlefield. Against a backdrop of snow, silence and sub-zero temperatures, the four-legged warriors and their handlers participated in yoga activities, highlighting the importance of focus, endurance, resilience and overall well-being in one of the most challenging environments on earth: Fire and Fury Corps, Indian Army

A century as far as Ramsar sites are concerned!
Glad that the Jai Prakash Narayan Bird Sanctuary (Surha Tal) in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh has been designated as India’s 100th Ramsar site. This wetland is rich in avifaunal biodiversity, attracting several migratory and resident birds.
India’s unwavering commitment to protecting our natural surroundings and wetlands in particular is clearly reflected in this feat.
Over the years, efforts to conserve and rejuvenate wetlands have been strengthened through greater community participation, science, innovation and awareness initiatives. These endeavours are helping preserve biodiversity, secure ecological balance and create a greener future for coming generations.
मुझे लगा था कि समस्या दूर हो गई है, लेकिन हर कुछ दिनों में, खासकर सुबह के समय मोटर चलाने पर वही बदबूदार सप्लाई का पानी आता है। शाम के समय आमतौर पर ऐसा नहीं होता। अब तो हमने कल अपने घर की टंकी भी साफ करवा ली, इसलिए निश्चित रूप से यह बदबू सप्लाई के पानी की ही है। कृपया जल्द से जल्द इस पर कार्रवाई कीजिए। @DelhiJalBoard
Since this morning, the water supply has been extremely dirty and foul-smelling. Instead of cleaning our hands, it makes them feel even dirtier. How are we supposed to cook, bathe, or use this water? This is a serious health hazard and could lead to countless diseases. What is going on, Delhi government?

You might see me criticising him, the government, or a policy tomorrow
But today, when some of the safest and most prosperous places in the world are being bombed, we can pause and acknowledge that
India is stable
India is safe
India is in fact growing
Navigating 1.4 billion people through a volatile world run by unpredictable mad men without dragging ourselves into chaos is a momentous task
Critique when needed,

And today, a moment to say thank you 🙏
The stars aren’t far, they’re our next address. ✨
