Women's Safety Remains a Serious Concern in India

A recent incident in Bihar has renewed public discussion around women’s safety in public spaces.

The bigger question remains: can investigations alone make women feel safe?

@Mrsinha A gas flow in one appraisal well is not energy security. India still imports nearly 90% of its crude, and deepwater discoveries typically take years of appraisal before a single molecule reaches the grid.

@TimesNow @jsaideepak @roypranesh When relief is released at FIR stage, the accused is already punished before a court has seen a shred of evidence.
A law meant to protect the vulnerable cannot be allowed to function as instant leverage.

@ajeetbharti IITs were created to set the global bar, not to fill social quotas. Faculty hired by category instead of capability will quietly lower that bar for an entire generation of Indian scientists.

@MeghUpdates Hosting F-35s over the Thar is impressive optics.
It does not hide that IAF fighter strength still sits well below the 42 squadrons needed for two-front deterrence.

An adult couple in UP moves court seeking safety. Says facing threats from family. The initial plea for protection was not accepted. Court grants relief and orders protection. Police directed to ensure safety as per law.

@sidhant Farmers’ unions still flag quota access for NZ apples and residual dairy side-deals as risks to smallholders already competing with subsidised imports.
The $20bn investment pledge remains unenforceable and far beyond New Zealand’s actual outbound FDI.

@Abhishek060722 Stopping a student mid-exam for a phone is invigilation, not an atrocity. Recasting that as caste crime and abetment after a suicide is how exam halls lose the right to treat every student by the same rule

@IndianGems_ No large economy has ever compounded at 11%+ for two straight decades. Ambition without a matching productivity and investment path is just arithmetic on a slide.

@neha_laldas The 1989 law is not the 2018 amendment. You cannot boast of making the Act stricter and then pin the stringency on Rajiv Gandhi.

@IndianTechGuide AI can flag a listing. It still can’t test the oil, inspect the warehouse, or fill the officer vacancies that decide whether anyone acts.

The Modi Paradox: 70% Voted With Faith, Now Paying The Price

A King who ruled with 70% blind support - supporters who paid taxes, ignored inflation and defended every move because they thought there was no alternative. But now the same base is hit by new taxes like UPI MDR above Rs 2000, rising costs and divisive rules. The fable's warning: When a leader starts taxing his own loyalists, loyalty doesn't last forever. Is Brand Modi losing its core voter?
