Its 1.45 am and i cant sleep bec of severe acidity. I have ulcers. And the last time my ulcers threatened to burst i had to be hospitalized & guess what @icicilombard refused to cover my hospitization cost - bec i hadnt declared my ulcers at the time of taking the policy. But i didnt have ulcers at the time of taking the policy and now they are asking for doctors certificates to confirm i didnt have ulcers at the time of taking the policy. Next they will insist on the car number that kills u in advance so ur family can make a claim. Shame on this @ICICILombard . Am so disgusted. I no longer care abt the refund - i will expose the fraud in their operations

This was the crowd on Tahir Hussain’s building terrace on 25 Feb 2020

Ankit Sharma went missing on evening of 25 Feb

His heavily mutilated body was fished out the next day from a clogged drain on the right side of Hussain’s building

I visited the site the same day - locals were sure that he had been kidnapped and dragged inside this building and lynched

Tahir Hussain and four others have now been convicted of murdering him “because he was Hindu”

Goldy Saket, a teen girl, met ‘Prince’ on Instagram. They began talking and he proposed marriage. Family opposed, but Goldy married Prince against her family’s wishes

They married in a temple

Soon she learnt he was Mohd Sahil. He forced her to do conversion-nikah in a Hyderabad mosque

Goldy disappeared after some time. Lost contact with family who informed police

Turned out she was already dead and buried in his village in Prayagraj

While Mohd Sahil is under arrest, her family dug out her body 35 days after the burial, and cremated her

Cases in which Hindu girls are targeted and ending up this way are way too common now. Just before UP brought anti-forced conversion law, Ekta Jaswal was similarly killed and buried by Mohd Saqib alias Aman. Family learnt about it a year later

Are patents telling these stories to their daughters?

We are. Through our ongoing awareness campaign in colleges of Bhopal, jhuggi settlements of Delhi an tribal areas of Chhattisgarh. With required resources, we can take awareness to a mass scale

A couple in Pune divorced after just 6 months.

​• Wife's salary: ₹1.41 Lakh/mo

• Husband's salary: ₹2.79 Lakh/mo (supports parents)

• Court ordered husband to pay ₹1.35 Lakh/mo maintenance.

​Now the wife gets ₹2.76 Lakh/mo and the husband is left with ₹1.44 Lakh/mo.

​If both spouses are highly paid working professionals, what is the justification for such hefty maintenance? Shouldn't financial independence eliminate or reduce alimony?

​What are your thoughts? 👇🏽 #LegalSystem #DivorceLaws #India

क्या आपने कभी सोचा है कि अगर मध्यप्रदेश की उन रहस्यमयी पहाड़ियों में एक शख्स ट्रेन से उतरने की जिद न करता, तो शायद भारत का पाषाण कालीन इतिहास आज भी अंधेरे में छिपा होता? वह शख्स कोई और नहीं, बल्कि पद्मश्री डॉ. विष्णु श्रीधर वाकणकर थे, जिन्हें भारतीय पुरातत्व का 'भीष्म पितामह' कहा जाता है। उन्होंने अपना पूरा जीवन पत्थरों की जुबान समझने और भारत के उस अतीत को खोजने में लगा दिया, जिसका कोई लिखित दस्तावेज मौजूद नहीं था। उनका जन्म 1919 में नीमच में हुआ था और वे बचपन से ही कला, पेंटिंग और इतिहास के प्रति एक अनोखा जुनून रखते थे। उनके इस सफर की शुरुआत किसी फिल्मी स्क्रिप्ट से कम नहीं है, जहाँ एक आम इंसान अपनी जिद और जुनून के दम पर पूरी दुनिया के सामने इतिहास का सबसे बड़ा पन्ना खोल देता है।

यह साल 1957 की बात है, जब डॉ. वाकणकर ट्रेन से भोपाल जा रहे थे। होशंगाबाद के पास अचानक ट्रेन की खिड़की से बाहर देखते हुए उनकी नजर दूर विंध्य की पहाड़ियों पर पड़ी, जहाँ पत्थरों के कुछ अजीब और विशाल ढांचे खड़े थे। उनकी पारखी नजरों को तुरंत अहसास हो गया कि ये कोई आम चट्टानें नहीं हैं, बल्कि इनके भीतर आदिमानव का कोई गहरा राज छिपा है। वे बिना किसी देरी के अगले ही स्टेशन पर ट्रेन से उतर गए और उन बीहड़ जंगलों की तरफ पैदल ही निकल पड़े। स्थानीय लोगों ने उन्हें चेतावनी दी थी कि उन जंगलों में शेर, चीते और खूंखार डाकुओं का बसेरा है, लेकिन इतिहास को खोजने की उनकी भूख के आगे यह डर बौना साबित हुआ। वे अकेले ही उन घने जंगलों में भटकते रहे और आखिरकार उन्होंने भीमबेटका की उन गुफाओं को खोज निकाला, जिन्होंने भारत के इतिहास को सीधे एक लाख साल पीछे धकेल दिया।

भीमबेटका को खोजना जितना बड़ा चमत्कार था, उसकी गुफाओं से सच बाहर निकालना उससे भी कहीं ज्यादा कठिन और संघर्षपूर्ण था। उस दौर में डॉ. वाकणकर के पास न तो कोई बड़ा सरकारी फंड था और न ही आज जैसी आधुनिक मशीनें या गाड़ियाँ थीं। वे कई-कई हफ्तों तक उन गुफाओं में भूखे-प्यासे रहकर, कड़कड़ाती ठंड और चिलचिलाती धूप में पत्थरों की खाक छानते थे। वे अपने हाथों से मिट्टी हटाते, घंटों एक ही मुद्रा में बैठकर गुफा की छतों पर बनी धुंधली तस्वीरों को अपनी डायरी में स्केच करते थे ताकि आदिमानव की उस कला को दुनिया को दिखाया जा सके। कई बार उनके पास खाने तक के पैसे नहीं होते थे, लेकिन उन्होंने अपनी जेब से खर्च करके और रूखी-सूखी रोटी खाकर भी अपनी इस साधना को कभी टूटने नहीं दिया। उनकी इस अकल्पनीय मेहनत का ही नतीजा था कि भीमबेटका को बाद में यूनेस्को (UNESCO) द्वारा वर्ल्ड हेरिटेज साइट घोषित किया गया।

डॉ. वाकणकर का योगदान सिर्फ भीमबेटका की गुफाओं तक ही सीमित नहीं था, बल्कि उन्होंने भारत की सबसे पवित्र और रहस्यमयी नदी सरस्वती के अस्तित्व को खोजने में भी अपनी पूरी ताकत झोंक दी थी। जब दुनिया यह मान चुकी थी कि सरस्वती सिर्फ एक पौराणिक कथा है, तब वाकणकर साहब ने अपनी उम्र की परवाह न करते हुए एक विशाल खोजी अभियान शुरू किया। उन्होंने उपग्रह (सैटेलाइट) की तस्वीरों का अध्ययन किया और भीषण गर्मी में राजस्थान तथा गुजरात के रेगिस्तानों में हजारों किलोमीटर की पैदल यात्रा की। उन्होंने जमीन के नीचे दबे उन प्राचीन रास्तों को खोज निकाला जहाँ कभी सरस्वती नदी बहा करती थी, जिसने भारतीय सभ्यता के भौगोलिक इतिहास को एक नया दृष्टिकोण दिया। उन्होंने यह साबित किया कि हमारी सभ्यता सिर्फ सिंधु नदी के किनारे नहीं, बल्कि सरस्वती के तट पर भी फली-फूली थी।

डॉ. विष्णु श्रीधर वाकणकर एक ऐसे सच्चे शोधकर्ता थे जिन्होंने कभी नाम, पैसा या ऐशो-आराम की चाह नहीं की। वे अक्सर कहा करते थे कि पुरातत्व की खोज दफ्तरों या वातानुकूलित कमरों में बैठकर नहीं, बल्कि तपती धूप और धूल भरे मैदानों में फावड़ा चलाकर होती है। वे एक बेहतरीन चित्रकार भी थे, इसलिए वे गुफाओं की पेंटिंग्स के महत्व को केवल एक पुरातत्वविद् की नजर से नहीं बल्कि एक कलाकार के दिल से समझते थे। उन्होंने अपनी आखिरी सांस तक भारत के गौरव को दुनिया के सामने लाने के लिए काम किया और 1988 में इस दुनिया से विदा हो गए। आज जब भी हम भीमबेटका की उन लाल-सफेद दीवारों पर दौड़ते हुए हिरणों और शिकार करते आदिमानवों को देखते हैं, तो वह असल में डॉ. वाकणकर की उसी अटूट निष्ठा और संघर्ष की कहानी बयां कर रहे होते हैं।

Hindu girls are targetted for conversion-nikah because their predators are taught that doing so will give them a seat in jannat

If the girls don’t convert, they are killed because predators are told that doing so will still give them a seat in jannat

Hindu boys are killed over trivial spats because they are told that killing a kaafir will give them a seat in jannat

Cows are slaughtered because they are taught that kaafir worships them as mother and kaafir’s beliefs must be constantly insulted

Hindu groups are pelted with stones because they are taught that music outside their religious structures is haram and is to be punished by mob violence

Taking awareness of all this to the last mile is an act of great social service

Societies transform when they are educated about the roots of such violence and not merely its symptoms

Babasaheb Ambedkar too served this cause through his book Pakistan and Partition of India. We are committed to taking this awareness to masses

In Bangladesh, a crying boy hired a cycle van to bring his murdered mother's body to the police station. Clutching his small sister, he explained to onlookers that their mother was raped & brutally killed in front of him and his younger siblings by a Maula (Isl@mic teacher) & two others. They have no other surviving relatives.

The statistics coming out of Bangladesh are devastating: reports of sexual violence have increased fivefold, affecting the most vulnerable members of society. This crisis demands urgent attention and a collective commitment to safety and justice for all.

The Kerala Story is going to be the India Story if we continue to bury our head in the sand. The TCS horror proves Love Jihad is no longer limited to lone-wolf attacks but has evolved into carefully orchestrated grooming operations run by educated professionals.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Within hours of the CJI flagging the issue, NCERT withdrew the books and issued an apology. Of the 2.25 lakh copies printed, 2,24,962 were recalled to the warehouse, with efforts underway to retrieve the remaining 38 copies already sold.

This panicked knee-jerk apology itself proves the inclusion of judicial corruption in the textbook was neither deliberate nor ideologically driven by NCERT or the ministry. They were clearly caught off guard. The more plausible explanation is simple incompetence: the authors wrote it, and NCERT and the education ministry didn't bother proofread. Had this been a conscious decision, there would have been at least a token defence of academic autonomy or content integrity. Instead, they folded instantly, without argument, explanation, or spine.

If Dharmendra Pradhan loses his chair, it won’t be over the UGC issue. It will be over this, the NCERT debacle. And ironically, not for standing up to the judiciary, but for accidentally appearing to do so by mistake.

A few days ago, three unrelated people were found dead inside a Tata Tiago on the Peeragarhi flyover in Delhi. There were no signs of forced entry, struggle, or injury. Initially, it was suspected to be suicide.

As the police dug deeper, CCTV footage revealed that a fourth person, an elderly man, had been inside the car earlier. Call records and further analysis identified a tantrik, Kariumddin, as the mastermind.

He had lured the three victims, two men and a woman, all property dealers, by promising to double their money through a ritual. The cash was kept in the car. As part of the ritual, he fed them poisoned laddoos. By the time the car reached the flyover, they had begun to deteriorate. They stopped the vehicle, tried to understand what was happening, and died soon after. The tantrik walked away.

Ordinary crime scene. Such things happen every day. What is truly outrageous is that the same Kariumddin has killed three more people earlier in two separate incidents, one in UP and another in Rajasthan, and was out on bail in both cases.

I’m sure that based on his age (79) and the fact that he prays a lot, he’ll get bail here too and will be back to his usual self. What a toothless justice system we have.

Dear Jio, Airtel,

It is a Duopoly, Unfortunately. BSNL is trying hard to get some good plans. But their slow service has led to a Duopoly in India. Most towers are with both of you now.

On behalf of all of us, I have two Suggestions:

- Most Indians have Wifi access. Senior Citizens use Wifi mostly. Please provide an affordable 1 GB per day plan with options to choose (28 days onwards). Also a yearly plan.

- Provide affordable Voice only plans for less than ₹100 every month. Anything above this is forcing people to take data, even if they don't need it.

There are many who use only voice and also less than 1 GB per day. Need inclusive plans. Let users decide.

Urging my audience to repost this (if you also feel this way) until @JioCare & @Airtel_Presence ACTUALLY Cares 👍

Sohan, a Class 12 student, was travelling by bus to visit relatives when it was abruptly stopped near Malhargarh (MP). A few men, later identified as cops, boarded the bus and dragged him off in full public view.

There was no explanation, no warrant, and no prior FIR. He was picked up merely on suspicion of carrying drugs, despite being arrested completely empty-handed.

When the police realised no drugs had been recovered, they chose not to let their “seamless operation” go to waste. They planted 2.7 kg of opium, said to be seized in another case, on Sohan, registered an FIR showing recovery from him, and told the media they had busted a major narcotics syndicate. He was then produced in court and sent to jail.

What they failed to anticipate was that the bus had CCTV, which clearly showed Sohan being taken away empty-handed, pointing to planted evidence. When the video went viral, the police initially denied that the men were cops, only worsening their position.

The case reached the High Court, which summoned the SP. The SP admitted that Malhargarh police acted illegally and outside the law, apologised, and ordered a departmental inquiry against the officers involved. Sohan was released after two months of illegal detention.

Ironically, Malhargarh police station had been awarded as one of the best in the country by the Home Minister. If this is how the “best” station works, one can only imagine the rest. It is frightening how easily the police can ruin a life in this country. Without CCTV, Sohan’s life would have been destroyed forever.

If you could order all the governments across India to rehabilitate dogs in their original homes and hearths, why can't you rule that the persecuted and hounded out Kashmiri Hindus must also be rehabilitated in their homes and hearths in Kashmir?
Why?
