MEITY flexing its muscle by summoning META officers by constantly summoning them and demanding answers for deleting Modi’s video accidentally for a few minutes.

This is its Global Affairs officer leaving from the MEITY office.

They are active 24/7 nonstop to tackle this issue.

Just notice the water logging in front of the MEITY office, even the American META global affairs officer must be laughing thinking if they showed this seriousness on other issues, their country would be in a better shape today.

95 years of hard-earned autonomy. Now under the scanner, this time the ISI

The Indian Statistical Institute (founded 1931 by P.C. Mahalanobis) is not just another campus. It is one of India’s rare institutions that was built on scientific independence, not bureaucratic control. The ISI Act of 1959 recognised it as an Institution of National Importance while preserving its society-based, faculty-driven character.

The new Indian Statistical Institute Bill, 2026 proposes to scrap that framework. It converts ISI into a statutory body corporate, replaces the representative Council with a government-appointed Board of Governors, and significantly curtails the role of the Academic Council. Faculty and the Institute’s own statutory bodies have publicly said this was done with zero meaningful consultation with them.

The government’s pitch is “modernisation” and alignment with IIT/IIM-style governance. Critics inside ISI argue the opposite: it concentrates power, reduces elected academic voice, and opens the door to external interference in academic decisions. They also note that the 4th Review Committee (Mashelkar) did not recommend repealing the 1959 Act or abolishing the Society structure.

This is not an abstract governance debate. Institutions that produce independent data, rigorous statistical research, and critical inquiry need structural insulation from short-term political or bureaucratic priorities. Once that insulation is thinned, it is hard to restore.
Academic freedom is not a slogan. It is the operating condition of any serious research institute. ISI faculty are right to raise the alarm.

Parliament should insist on genuine consultation with the Institute’s own bodies before rewriting a 95-year-old model that actually worked. Another Premier Institute being Saffronised and being brought under RSS Siege.

आधा सच बताकर गुमराह मत कीजिए! 🛑

​🇯🇵 जापान: लगभग 100% crude आयात करने के बावजूद सिर्फ E5 (औसत 3.5%) पर सीमित है।

🇪🇺 यूरोप: ब्रिटेन, जर्मनी, फ्रांस समेत अधिकांश देश आज भी E10 पर हैं और सुरक्षित E5 को विकल्प के रूप में रखते हैं।

🇨🇦 कनाडा: E10 baseline.

🇹🇭 थाईलैंड: E20 को Option के तौर पर देता है, मजबूरी नहीं।

​‼️ दुनिया का कोई भी देश - I REPEAT, कोई भी देश - E0/E5/E10 गाड़ियों पर जबरन E20 नहीं थोपता!
​'प्रूवन स्ट्रैटेजी' के नाम पर बिना विकल्प दिए पुरानी गाड़ियों के इंजन, फ्यूल लाइन्स और माइलेज की बलि चढ़ाना कहाँ का न्याय है? E10 का विकल्प कहाँ है? ⛽💥 #EthanolScam

Irony just died again. The cleanest man in Indian politics did not need an SC certificate of his integrity. Instead it is those who sought to implicate him in these charges who ought to be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

To the Government of India

What exactly are you saving? The future of a few well-connected individuals and political families? 🤔

🚨 E20 is not a “green win” — it’s a looming public health disaster.

No fuel savings. No forex savings. No better environment. No increase in farmer income. Just a policy that could leave irreversible damage to citizen's lungs and health. 🫁⚠️

Children, young adults and the older population are most susceptible to severe health issues.

The #E20 blend is not just corrosive for motor vehicles — emissions from non-E20-compatible vehicles can harm human tissue from the inside, cell by cell, day by day. 🚗💨

You have not published any studies proving cleaner combustion. If those studies exist, put the public reference on record now.

@IITKanpur - Share the DOI ( if you have one )

If this continues, India could see a major surge in cancer deaths — especially lung cancer — and serious, potentially irreversible respiratory illness within the next 3–5 years. ⏳🫁

This is not a small issue. This is a warning. ⚠️🔥

To help ethanol manufacturers make their profits, the Modi government has sold rice to them at 40% below the average acquisition cost. Eventually the Indian citizen is paying the bills to have ethanol damage their own cars. CC @bsdhanoa

I’m convinced that intelligence is overrated.

Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong.

The truth is that intelligence is abundant. Especially now. AI is making it a commodity. Courage is not. And it can’t be replaced. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t.

I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. Permission is taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.

Courage beats intelligence. Remember that.

This is the same Mohammad Irfan...
whose emotional video of him reading the Preamble at Jantar Mantar went viral.

This is Mohammad Irfan's home, where he lives.

A dilapidated, shattered home... but from this very home, he speaks of uniting the nation.

Holding the Preamble of the Constitution close to his heart, he speaks of individual dignity.

Citizens like these are the protectors of democracy.

Thank you Irfan.

21 मिनिटांचा हा व्हिडिओ वेळ काढून नक्की बघा.

इरफान फक्त अंगणवाडीपर्यंत शिकला. त्यानंतरचं त्याचं विद्यापीठ म्हणजे Google, YouTube आणि स्वतःची जिज्ञासा.

त्याच्या बोलण्यातला अभ्यास, समाज-राजकारणाची समज, भाषेवरची पकड आणि कष्टकरी माणसांविषयीची संवेदनशीलता पाहिली की एक गोष्ट स्पष्ट होते—प्रतिभेला महागड्या पदवीची गरज नसते; संधीची गरज असते.

आणि लल्लनटॉपचा पत्रकार रजत पांडे… त्याने घेतलेली ही मुलाखत म्हणजे केवळ प्रश्नोत्तर नाही, तर एका दुर्लक्षित भारताला आवाज देण्याचा प्रयत्न आहे.

देशाच्या झोपडपट्ट्यांमध्ये, छोट्या गावांत आणि दुर्लक्षित वस्त्यांमध्ये असे कितीतरी इरफान आजही आहेत. प्रश्न त्यांच्या क्षमतेचा नाही, तर त्यांना व्यासपीठ मिळतं का याचा आहे.
