THIS IS HOW YOU WARN A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT VIOLENCE 🔥
REPORTER: Six days of hunger strike, low energy and falling health. Why continue?
SONAM WANGCHUK 🎯: My discomfort is nothing compared to the parents who lost their children. If we do nothing, student deaths, paper leaks and destroyed futures will keep repeating every year.
REPORTER: Are you trying to change the government?
SONAM 🔥: I am not here to change the government. I am here to change how the government behaves. A democracy should be sensitive and empathetic, not feared like a dictatorship.
DAY 8
Still Alive, though not kicking….
Some 7,000 people gathered at Jantar Mantar today from morning to evening. Leaders of various social and political movements spoke in support. A clear indication of how effective this movement is can be judged from the number of trolls in the comments below. Over the years I’ve seen that this number is directly proportional to the impact. I’ll be so sad & dejected the day they go missing. Thank you, my success-o-meter, for your hard work.

At our protests at Jantar Mantar, we had a media space and we encouraged media to speak to EVERYONE present . These were ordinary Indians: read their stories

What Bakree didn't mention is that in the same period Bangladesh almost TRIPLED it's per capita income which is now higher than India's.
In the same period, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Phillipines, Thailand etc all became far better countries to live in than VishwaGuru.
And at the rate this Govt is working, in 10 years, even Pakistan will cross us in per capita income.
THIS IS ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🍿
Kanhaiya –– During UPA, diesel used to cost ₹50
Journalist –– No, it didn't cost that low
Kanhaiya –– Open your phone and google 😂
Journalist –– I don't have phone 😭
Live fact check done by Kanhaiya in front of crowd to expose unofficial BJP spokesperson 🥶
He is not wrong about everything he said here. That is what makes this speech frustrating rather than simply dismissible.
He is right that ethanol is used in racing. He is right that it has a higher octane rating and that knocking resistance improves in engines built for it. He is right that insurance companies clarified their position. He is right that multiple technologies can coexist in India's market.
Every single one of those points is accurate.
But accurate points arranged carefully can still add up to a misleading picture. And that is what is happening here.
Take the racing argument. Yes, ethanol is used in motorsport. But the cars using it were engineered specifically for that fuel, with engines calibrated precisely, fuel systems designed for it, and teams of engineers monitoring every variable. The comparison between a Formula racing engine and a 2018 Maruti Swift sitting in Indore is not a comparison. It is a deflection. You cannot use the performance of one to dismiss the problems of the other.
Then there is the knocking point. He is technically correct. Ethanol's higher octane rating means better knocking resistance in an engine tuned for it. But that last part, in an engine tuned for it, is doing all the work. A car bought in 2019, calibrated for regular petrol, does not automatically benefit from ethanol's octane properties. The engine management system has to be set up for it. Most older cars are not. So the knocking improvement he is describing belongs to new flex-fuel engines. He is citing a benefit of one technology to defend its imposition on another.
The students' call for justice at Jantar Mantar is now gaining support from well-known figures across the country.
Renowned author Arundhati Roy also joined the CJP protest. As prominent figures from society join the movement, the fight grows stronger.
Dharmendra Pradhan must resign!
I am speechless.. the response the crowds ... despite the barricades and restrictions. Just grateful. I owe this great nation & her people a lot. Overwhelmed...
