At 20, Bittu Tabahi stepped into a polluted river — without gloves, boots or even knowing how to swim — and started cleaning it himself.
On 26 January 2026, the BSc student from Madhya Pradesh began cleaning the Ajnar River near a temple in Biaora, removing plastic and other waste that had turned parts of the river into a dumping ground.
He even began turning puja waste into compost and pooled money with friends to buy tools and dustbins.
The effort cost him around ₹30,000, and at one point, he suffered infections on his hands.
Then his work reached thousands online. Some accused him of doing it for likes.
Bittu’s surname means “destruction.” Today, he is trying to destroy something else: water pollution.
Because sometimes, change begins when one person stops waiting for someone else to start.

Because a better India is built by people who choose to care, even when no one is watching.

In Pawan Kalyan’s 2001 film Khushi, the song “Ye Mera Jaha” contains a profoundly powerful scene that exposes how politicians have sold out our culture and individuality to foreign interests to fill their own pockets. This hits even harder when you realise that nearly 90% of the everyday products we use are foreign-made brands.
Just look around at how Western narratives have deeply influenced the youth, pushing many to criticise their own culture in search of foreign validation, and many are not even aware of how bad Western culture can be, but they automatically label it as progressive.
I heard that Pawan Kalyan deliberately made this song in Hindi to promote a stronger sense of national unity. While he is proudly Telugu, he clearly cares about the nation as a whole. He himself has said imposing any language is wrong, but rejecting the languages of our fellow Indians is equally wrong.
Atmanirbhar Bharat includes our culture too. People should realise how evil the foreign narrative is.

Let's ask one simple question.
Since when did insulting Lord Rama and mocking the Ramayana become "asking questions," Mr. @prakashraaj?
Freedom of expression is a constitutional right, not a licence to deliberately insult the faith of millions. The same standards must apply to every religion. Equality cannot be selective.
If someone attacks my Dharma in the name of "questioning," I will not remain silent. Standing up for my faith peacefully, democratically, and within the framework of the law is my right.
No one can hide behind the excuse of "questioning" to insult deeply held beliefs or encourage narratives that undermine national unity.
Those who repeatedly target any religion or seek to create division through inflammatory remarks should be held accountable in accordance with the law. Lasting peace and harmony are strengthened by mutual respect, not by deliberate provocation.
Respect every faith. Protect free speech. But don't misuse either to justify hate or deliberate offence.
