How disgusting are indian men? A poor family from Madhya Pradesh travelled to Kumbha Mela to earn a living selling beads.
But the "sinners" who have gone to wash off their sins in the Kumbha Mela fetishised her so much that now her family is busy chasing away these men instead of focusing on earning an income.
Remember the bjp IT cell coolies who posted her pics here? They are no less than the perverts harassing the girl

I see news headlines like "Chris Martin says Jai Shri Ram to fans during Coldplay concert", I open the video and I see Chris Martin asking "What does Jai Shri Ram mean?", to a person holding a Jai Shri Ram sign at a pop-rock concert.

Sums up Indian media.

In last 10 days, BJP's Rajasthan govt has shut down
- 190 govt Primary schools
- 260 govt Secondary schools

All these schools were Hindi medium schools where children of the poor used to study

Well, if everyone gets educated, who will hold BJP's flag & dig mosques?

Denmark's top badminton player, Mia Blichfeldt, leaves the India Open midway due to Delhi's smog and unclean ambience.

Her Insta post: "Finally home after a long and stressful week in India. It's the second year in a row that I fell ill during the India Open. It's really hard to accept that weeks of hard work and preparation get wasted because of poor conditions. It's not fair to anyone that we have to train and play in smog, with birds defecating on the courts and dirt everywhere. These conditions are too unhealthy and unacceptable."

Is Delhi's air unclean and unhealthy? Of course. Is anything being done about it? No. Why? Because it’s not an election issue. For the majority of Delhi’s population, pollution isn’t a concern. Free water, free electricity, free travel—now even free cash is on the cards. What else do they need? Kejriwal openly admitted that cleaning the Yamuna doesn’t fetch votes (though he promised to clean it, which he is doing since a decade). True. Cleaning the air won’t either. Selfish voters, hence indifferent administration—the beauty of democracy!

Anil Ambani's Reliance Communication had a debt of ₹47,251 crore. Out of this, he paid only ₹455 crore, while the remaining ₹46,796 crore was written off. There are two possibilities:

a. Either he genuinely had no money, and the banks wrote off the debt completely without seizing his assets.

b. Or he had the money but was unwilling to pay, and the banks and NCLT chose not to take action against him.

If neither of these is true, then please explain this:

Why would any bank lend ₹10,000 crore to a bankrupt businessman to start a solar power plant that won’t even generate 10% profits?

And if he indeed had ₹10,000 crore, what were the Banks, Courts, IT, CBI, ED, NIA, and NCLT doing?

The Calcutta High Court has delivered an important directive aimed at Government of West Bengal to restore tram tracks that were illegally covered with bitumen in 2024.

West Bengal is now home to 1,170 startups as of December 2023, marking a fourfold increase from 276 startups in 2019. The surge can be attributed to an expanding skilled workforce and robust support from both the government and private investors. Government of West Bengal has actively fostered entrepreneurship through policy interventions, like the ‘West Bengal Startup Policy,' providing financial assistance, infrastructure support, and mentorship programs.

The state capital, Kolkata, has become a hotspot for tech startups, with a growing number of incubators and co-working spaces. The city’s dynamic ecosystem is attracting entrepreneurs from sectors like fintech, healthtech, edtech, and e-commerce, with the IT sector growing over 70% annually. The startup ecosystem in Bengal is also expanding beyond the capital, with a growing focus on tier II and tier III cities, spreading the benefits of innovation across the state.

Hi

My name is Rohan Mehta and I will try to make this as easy to understand as possible. I have been employed with Ministry of External Affairs for more than 8 years now. During this period, I have served in Embassy of India, Moscow and Consulate General of India, Sao Paulo.

While working in Sao Paulo, I learned that the Consul General (head of Consulate) was a totally corrupt lady Manisha Swami and she used to harass all employees. Her modus operandi was simple: she used to come to office for some time and abuse and shout at the employees and then leave for the whole day. She was also misusing official resources. There was another Consulate employee (Adarsh Mishra) who was harassing female employees and not working at all. Before I move further, let me tell you the salaries of both of these employees which is effectively taxpayers' money(USD $7000 and USD $5200 per month approx. respectively).

As Consul General learned that I was the only one who could complain, she nudged another employee to make a fake sexual harassment complaint against me. The goal was that I either back off or probably commit suicide as a result of the fear they were trying to create in my mind. But why would I have fear when I had done nothing. The name of the lady who complained is Gayatri Gosain. This lady used to tell me that she used to treat me like an elder sister. And I gave her all due respect like you would to your sister. By complaining against me, she did an extremely cheap thing. But when this complaint reached Ministry of External Affairs and when she was asked if she wants to proceed with the complaint she backed off
(either because of shame because she knew that she made a fake complaint or because she knew that Complaint Committee takes action against the complainee when it is fake). Now also, I have all documents to prove it was fake. I will post an image which shows how much harassment I was facing while I was in Sao Paulo. Also, Adarsh had also harassed Gayatri Gosain and the first 3 minutes of one hour recording on my Facebook post(link is available below in the tweet about sequence of posts) have proof of the same.

Now let's move further. I eventually made a corruption complaint on 5 January 2024. I addressed it to Indian Ambassador in Brazil Suresh Reddy and Administration head in India B Vanlalvawna. I informed about the corruption and also about the sexual harassment instances. But instead of taking any action against the culprits, I was recalled to India and was asked to travel back on 9 January 2024. I intimated that I was not vaccinated against yellow fever so I maybe allowed to take vaccine and travel after 10 days once the vaccine becomes effective. Regardless, I was given an exemption certificate to travel without vaccine(this was a clear safety hazard). I am attaching a copy of the certificate here. The guy who signed this certificate was also harassing another Brazilian lady and a recording of the same is available on my Facebook post.

https://t.co/3jiDR98ZbD

I returned to India and asked about action taken on my complaint. I was told that no action will be taken against it. In a short while, Ministry opened a fake case against me alleging that my fiancée(who is Brazilian) was living with me in Brazil. My fiancée was not living with me in Brazil and I intimated the same. I also intimated that I was facing harassment and I even submitted a copy of corruption complaint to Vigilance Section. They called me two months after my reply and tried to coerce me to change my statement and write that my fiancée was living with me. This coercion was openly illegal and anyone who wants to know what happened can listen to the following recording.

https://t.co/vanKAj0Qbb

This recording is 40 minutes long and in the second half the Undersecretary from Vigilance Section is repetitively trying to force me to change my statement. In the first half, another personnel from Vigilance tells me that generally action is taken against people who complain about corruption.

PNB’s gunpoint robbery perfectly highlights misplaced priorities. A guard retired 7 months ago, but no replacement yet—too busy with social security schemes? Employee safety and public money don’t matter. After all, who needs security when cost-cutting is the real priority?
