Insane! GenZs who havent waited for MTNL landline activation for 6 months won't understand what this means!
The cops saw the danger. The cockroaches saw an opportunity!
If this video below, senior Delhi Police officers repeatedly warned CJP leaders that criminal elements had infiltrated the Jantar Mantar protest and the crowd was slipping out of control.
They were warned. The country deserves to know why those warnings were ignored and who takes responsibility for what followed.
After winning a silver medal for India at the Commonwealth Games, Boxer Lovlina Borgohain visited a restaurant in Glasgow. There, she noticed a map of India printed on a napkin in which the entire Northeast was missing.
Lovlina, who comes from Assam, did not create a scene or react with anger. She politely informed the restaurant staff that the map was incomplete and explained why it was hurtful. The management acknowledged the mistake and assured her that it would be corrected.
For Lovlina, it was not just about a map. It was about acknowledging that every part of India belongs on the map, and every Indian deserves to feel seen.
Sometimes, the strongest punches are not thrown inside a boxing ring. They are delivered with dignity, calmness, and the courage to speak up when something is not right.
The students' protest in Jharkhand is an example of what a protest should be.
It is peaceful, respectful, and rejects symbolic gestures, like demanding someone be fired, in favor of actionable, long-term policy solutions. They want structural reform: an independent CBI probe into recruitment scandals, permanent blacklisting and prosecution of corrupt vendors, age-limit relaxations for affected candidates, fixed annual exam calendars, and complete transparency in evaluation processes.
Driven entirely by real, ground-level aspirants with no political agenda, the movement maintains a strict distance from all political parties.
This is precisely the kind of cause around which the nation's youth, civil society, self proclaimed apolitical social commentators, and "concerned" celebrities ought to rally. However, because these students lack the funding to hire influencers or celebrities to transform their struggle into a viral, pop-culture trend that everyone wants to be a part of and also don't have the backing of student organisations that have the resources, methods and influence to force governments to the table, their movement will be unfairly overlooked.
One year since this audacity.
The victim is bedridden, disoriented, and surviving solely on support, fed through a Ryles tube and requiring round-the-clock nursing and specialized care just to stay alive.. As a family of four with only one earner, they’ve exhausted their savings and borrowed heavily to cover monthly medical bills running into lakhs. They are now crowdfunding, having received no support from the accused’s family.
Meanwhile, the accused is out on bail. The case drags on with long adjournments, and according to a post in r/jammu, the High Court has interim-stayed proceedings under Section 109 (attempt to murder), though I couldn't independently verify this.
What should have been an open-and-shut case will be dragged out for years. Once public memory fades and the family loses the spirit to fight, which they already have, the accused will walk away without consequences.
Default on farm loan, State will waive it. Burn rice stubble, State will ignore it. Steal electricity, State will subsidise it. Attack police, State will allow it. Eke an honest salary, State will tax it.
State will reward defaulters, polluters, and rioters, not honest citizens.
This is a gem!
When Kalyan Singh was CM and Rajnath Singh was Education Minister, the BJP govt brought an anti-cheating law.
Akhilesh Yadav opposed it, saying we all had cheated once in our lifetime.
Today, he's acting like the messiah of students against paper leaks.
Old OBC woman told the reality behind 75 years of reservation 🚨
"I'm a Yadav woman. My late husband belonged to the SC community. He was very handsome. He received many marriage proposals from his own community as he was IAS but he chose me because I was also very beautiful. Don't judge me by how I look now (laughs)
I'm here for my daughter's child, who is facing hardships in life because of the reservation. My grandchild who's weak in studies got college easily because of it. People here keep talking about discrimination but in many cases, they themselves discriminate. Once some people become financially well, they refuse to marry within their own community and instead look for a girl from the general category
My husband always visited temples, and no one could stop him. It is the poor who face the greatest discrimination, whether they belong to GC or the SC/ST. Reforming the reservation system is the need of the hour."
Every time a wealthy SC person receives the benefit of reservation, a poor from GC loses that opportunity. This is the reality of reservation 🙏
This little girl completely exposed this Jai Bhim politician's agenda on reservation 🚨
Politician - To remove caste based reservation, first remove caste based discrimination
Girl - Sir, do you take pride in Jai Bhimrao?
Politician - Absolutely. I take pride in Bhimrao Ambedkar. He made the Constitution for us
Girl - So, if you take pride in your ancestor, you're right. But if we take pride in our ancestors, we're morally wrong? You chant Jai Bhim, you're right. We chant our ancestors names, we're wrong? And by the way, there were 6 other people who helped to make this constitution
Politician - He made laws for the whole of India, not just for us
Girl - Not at all. He made laws that favor you, uplift you and help your ancestors. If some laws were made in the past that helped my ancestors, how is that wrong? Either both are wrong or both are right. Bhimrao ji made those laws for only 10 years but they're still continuing after 75 years without reform. Whatever Ram ji said, we follow. Do you follow everything Bhimrao ji said? You don't want to reform it because you're not ready to accept what he thought for other castes
Reservation's end is around the corner. Students ain't leaving this chance to get fair education this time 🙏
Since the hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi is personally handling the burning issue of paper leaks, I urge him to personally intervene on the ethanol blending policy as well.
Just because everyday working-class citizens aren't protesting on the streets doesn't mean this isn't a crisis. Most people can't afford to take leave from work to protest, but that doesn't lessen the severity of the issue.
The public is the biggest stakeholder in fuel policy. People save their hard-earned money for years to buy vehicles and pay taxes, only for officials to unilaterally introduce fuel blends that existing vehicle engines were never designed to handle.
Bringing E20 when most of the existing vehicle fleet was incompatible was already a misstep. Now, as people buy E20-compliant cars, there are talks of pushing to E27 by 2030. Where is the long-term clarity? Policies of such massive scale cannot be left to the whims and siloed decisions of one or two ministers and their teams.
The public deserves a logical, transparent, long-term roadmap with clear timelines so buyers can make informed decisions. Respectfully requesting intervention.
2007 : Rajdeep Sardesai airs a program on CNN IBN claiming Sohrabuddin encounter was fake

Your short memory is the only reason they exist.
Share it.
This old man in a wheelchair just ruined the entire script 😭😂
Abhijeet Dipke came down from the stage to welcome him, thinking he’d join the anti-Modi slogans.
Instead the uncle started scolding everyone.
“Modi is not a thief. The real thieves are the ones sitting inside the system.”
Dipke just stood there silently 😂😂
Sometimes the best reality check comes from the person you least expect.
As the buzz around the Jantar Mantar protest dies down, Madhya Pradesh is back in the news.
SDM Ram Niwas of Panna district ordered two mobile covers worth ₹120 from Flipkart.
When the delivery boy arrived with the sealed package, the SDM opened it and found only one mobile cover instead of two. Rather than raising a complaint with Flipkart, he allegedly abused the delivery boy and demanded an immediate refund.
The delivery boy dared to tell His Lordship that that's not how e-commerce works. He explained that the parcel was sealed, that it was likely a packing or logistics error, and that the proper course was to raise a complaint with Flipkart, which would handle the resolution through its return process.
His Lordship took offense at being told how the process worked. He allegedly called the police, and the delivery boy was reportedly arrested under Section 151 of the BNSS.

Meet Arya Singh.
She comes from a tier 2 city, middle class conservative family. She can't wear a tank top and abuse Modi's mother on Camera. Only privileged South Delhi girls or chhapris can do that. Class rules, not mine.
But she wants to be famous. She, like many in her generation thinks 5 second vitality is more valuable than seeking a lifetime career of hard work and luck. The lure is too strong.
So she uses AI to fake her OMR sheet. Instead of 167 she scored, her new marsheet claims 609 marks. Her ex serviceman father, not well versed with tech obviously supports his daughter and reaches protest. Millions of views and likes, lakhs of comments say be strong Arya, we are with you. Top comment, as always is by a Muslim about the opressive Hindu culture. Arya achieves the greatest thing a human can - instagram fame.
The medical profession will not miss another Sejal Pawar.
