A secondary school going teenager has done a more profound and brilliant investigative work than the entire Indian national media, with facts and transparency so attention to detail - while the national media keeps licking boots and polish. The education system here is hounding.

आर्थिक तूफ़ान सर पर है, और हमारे प्रधानमंत्री इटली में टॉफ़ी बाँट रहे हैं!

किसान, युवा, महिलाएँ, मज़दूर और छोटे व्यापारी सब रो रहे हैं - PM हंसकर रील बना रहे हैं, और BJP वाले ताली बजा रहे हैं।

यह नेतृत्व नहीं, नौटंकी है।

Sumit Sarkar writing on the Gulf War in 1991. Now replace Iraq with Iran and Saddam Hussein with Ayatollah Khamenei. The response of India's urban elite, the BJP, and its lapdogs has only remained consistent (see highlighted portions).

@ohopheliaaaaaaa If one clears JRF, the score is valid for 3 years. For the other two categories (NET and PhD only), the score is valid only for a year for PhD admission. UGC NET Assistant Professorship is valid for lifetime though.

The Indian National Congress (INC) unequivocally condemns the targeted assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Hosseini Khamenei, in a military strike carried out without a formal declaration of war. The INC extends its deepest condolences to the Supreme Leader's family, to the people of Iran, and the Shia community around the world in this moment of profound grief. We stand in solidarity with them as they navigate this grave crisis.

India's foreign policy is anchored in a commitment to the peaceful settlement of disputes through dialogue and respect for international law, as mandated in Article 51 of the Constitution of India. These principles-sovereign equality, non- intervention and the promotion of peace are foundational to India's civilisational values. Given this, the conflict in West Asia is deeply antithetical to our commitment to Vasudhaiva Kutumbaka ("the world is one family"), Mahatma Gandhi's doctrine of ahimsa (non-violence), Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's policy of non-alignment.

The targeted use of force to destabilise the leadership and governing structures of a sovereign state whether in Iran or earlier in Venezuela-signals a disturbing revival of regime-change doctrines and coercive unilateralism. It also contravenes the United Nations Charter-especially Article 2(4), which expressly prohibits "the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state," and Article 2(7), which forbids intervention in matters essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state. A targeted killing of a sitting head of state strikes at the heart of these international rules. Sovereignty is not conditional, and political legitimacy cannot be manufactured through force.

The INC reiterates that it is the inalienable right of every nation's citizens to determine their own political future. No external power has the authority to engineer regime change or dictate the leadership of another state. Such actions amount to imperialism and are fundamentally incompatible with a genuinely rules- based international order.

The hate campaign in Assam works for the BJP and the CM because a very influential section of Assamese society shares their bigotry. The nativist discourse gels very well with the Hindutva rhetoric and the results are clear. The Assamese intelligentsia is complicit in this.

The systematic assault on academic rigour continues. The absurdity of the objections raised serves as a grim punchline to the joke that Indian academia has become.

@bombil_fry @PhilipPanass and the ridiculous defence that this kind of research is too niche for us peasants to understand.
