BIG: @ECISVEEP SPLIT WIDE OPEN over SIR ! Two ECs, Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi, have formally objected, on record, at least 14 times over the last 10 months to decisions taken and orders issued without their knowledge. Is a constitutional body now a one man show that acts as His Masters Voice? Will Gyanesh Kumar respond to the detailed @IndianExpress investigation? (Note: earlier this week, another former EC @AshokLavasa called for an apology from the ECI for SIR chaos)
India mein koi 5 minutes number Google kar le to doodh ka doodh paani ka paani ho jaye.
RBI surplus to Govt : ₹2.87 Lakh Crores (US$30 Bn)
Total listed bank profits : ₹4.11 Lakh Crores (US$42 Bn)
NPCI - which runs UPI pre tax ‘surplus’ : ₹ 1,888 crores (US$200 Mn)
To nuksaan kis ka ho raha hai UPI se aur kaunsi subsidy de rahi hai Govt UPI pe jo chubh rahi hai?
Cost of running ATMs and cash logistics in India is ₹30,500 crores (US$ 3.0 Bn). If you want to optimise shut ATMs and promote UPI instead.
Any levy on UPI is just tax collection. UPI is the one scientific achievement of India everyone acknowledges par ab tax ki bali chadhegi.
Sharp Edge: Don’t look at the behaviour of the Swaminarayan guys at the Eiffel Tower in isolation. It’s part of a pattern of Gujarati
entitlement. Because Gujaratis virtually run India these days we have got accustomed to doing what we like from dancing the garba on the tarmac to closing down roads for our ostentatious weddings to believing that everything is available for a price.

Following US Ambassador Sergio Gor’s meeting with Foreign Secy Vikram Misri and US Secy of State, Marc Rubio, NIA drops terror charges against Matthew Van Dyke, U.S citizen who was held here on terror charges along with 6 Ukrainians for illegally crossing over to Myanmar to train armed ethnic groups in weapon handling and drone warfare.
This is unfortunately the consequence of globalism. It's also the consequence of capitalism. It's the consequence of optimizing for scale. If the whole world is the same, you have a larger audience to sell to. It goes further. If all *people* are the same, you have the largest audience to sell to. In the pursuit of profit maximization the market forces have consolidated all global cultural and human uniqueness/diversity into one homogenous grey blob.
A couple of years ago, I disowned one of my best friends becasue he was constantly spouting off with, "It's the JEWS."
About 6 months ago, I came to the realization, "sonofabitch, it's the Jews."
Went from "conspiracy theory" to full-on "conspiracy fact".
I apologized to him.
₹836 crore in donations. Just 1 candidate in 2024 Lok Sabha. Party now says it’s shut.
BBC Hindi investigation: Aam Janmat Party (registered in Patna, office in Ahmedabad) received ₹216 cr in 2022-23 and ₹620 cr in 2023-24.
Founding president Anamika Paswan is now BJP Bihar vice-president. She claims she resigned in 2022.

Ahmedabad office was found locked.
One of several “paper parties” that collected hundreds of crores but barely contested elections.
Hindutva extremist Swatantra Bhardwaj spoke about attacking the father of a CJP protester during a podcast.
He said that the man received 60 stitches and was on the verge of death, adding that “a Section 307 case was warranted,” yet he walked out within a day after a call from Kapil Mishra.
He also says that both Kapil Mishra and Chirag Paswan are his “elder brothers” and that he has the support of every politician.
Iran’s Expanding Ring of Retaliation
🔹#Iran’s response to the U.S. strike on Larak had two important features.
🔹First, the speed. Tehran retaliated against U.S. bases in Jordan just a couple of hours after the attack. Some observers (like @mhmiranusa) have linked this faster decision-making to the ongoing integration of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters into the Armed Forces General Staff – a reform intended to improve coordination between strategic planning and operations. This may be the first indication that the new structure is working.
🔹Second, Jordan now appears to have moved into the first ring of Iranian offensive operations. During the two weeks of conflict in July, Iranian strikes were concentrated largely on U.S. facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, with more limited attacks elsewhere. But as U.S. forces have reduced their presence at bases closer to Iran – including in Bahrain and Iraqi Kurdistan – Tehran is increasingly shifting its pressure outward toward Jordan.
🔹This fits Iran’s broader strategy of “debasification”, i.e., making U.S. regional bases progressively less usable and preventing Washington from rebuilding military infrastructure there.
🔹There is an interesting parallel here. Washington appears to be moving toward limited, repeated strikes on Iranian capabilities linked to operations in the Strait of Hormuz; essentially a “mowing the lawn” strategy. Iran increasingly seems to have developed its own version: repeatedly targeting U.S. regional infrastructure to prevent new military realities from taking shape.
🔹Iran still has major vulnerabilities, above all its economy and the possibility that external pressure could combine with renewed domestic unrest. But on the battlefield, Iranian planners may see renewed confrontation as an opportunity to continue pushing U.S. military infrastructure farther away from Iran.

A deep analysis of what may have lead to the Nepal glacial collapse and a breakdown of how the flood overtook communities in a matter if minutes. #Nepal#flood#weather
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
Bhagat Namdev said it and its in Guru Granth Sahib
While terms from Indian tradition (such as Ram, Hari, Govind, and Allah) are used extensively throughout the Guru Granth Sahib, Sikh theology draws a distinction between thehistorical/mythological figure of Ram (the King of Ayodhya) and the Formless, All-Pervading Divine (Nirgun Ram).
Bhagat Kabir Ji directly addresses this distinction on Ang 1104:
ਕਬੀਰ ਰਾਮ ਕਹਨ ਮਹਿ ਭੇਦੁ ਹੈ ਤਾ ਮਹਿ ਏਕੁ ਬਿਚਾਰੁ ॥"
"ਸੋਈ ਰਾਮੁ ਸਭੈ ਕਹਹਿ ਸੋਈ ਕਉਤਕਹਾਰ ॥"
"Kabeer, there is a distinction in using the word 'Ram'... Everyone uses the same word for the son of Dashrath and for the Wondrous, All-Pervading Lord."
