Idts. If that happens, everything else might stabilize, but it will create massive trouble for one country’s Prime Minister, and that PM is Netanyahu. If Israel doesn’t respond, its citizens won’t hesitate for a second to vote against him. At the end of the day, they are all hardcore nationalists.
Ultimately, it all comes back to the same point: regardless of the country, everything from society to institutions eventually ends up divided on certain lines. You mentioned that the problem isn’t about using his real name, but rather that choosing to say it now, after all this time, is the real issue. And it’s true, that is problematic. Similarly, labeling them ‘Godi Media’ all this time wasn’t the main issue, but single out an anchor by name to target them is absolutely an issue as well.
Look, bro, every institution operates on a certain psychology. Your timeline shows that your favorite team is RCB; deep down, so is mine. If a CSK fan casually says that RCB is a garbage team, before RCB’s management even responds, all of us fans will reply by highlighting this season’s scorecard, statistics, and the current standings of both teams. This is exactly what happens when a group or community is formed. When news anchor Anjana remarked about ‘certain YouTube coaching mafias,’ all the YouTuber-teachers united to target her through videos. Now that the coaching institutes have attacked the media, the media has banded together to retaliate. Unity exists in every field. The moment a different profession calls you out, internal competition is set aside, and unity takes precedence.
Btw in this case, The news channels aren’t spreading misinformation; they are reporting exactly what the FIR states. However, they are doing it with a twist by highlighting Khan Sir’s real identity. This clearly shows that a section of the media is unhappy with him, just as a segment of the coaching industry has never been happy with these news channels, and likely won’t be in the future either. Now, you might argue that this is precisely the problem and that journalists ought to be neutral. Frankly speaking, teachers should be neutral too. In fact, people in every profession should be neutral, but that is purely an idealistic concept. From the USA to Myanmar, societies, institutions, and media everywhere are deeply polarized. Biased media isn’t unique to India; it exists everywhere,in past too, whether under an anarchy or a democracy. The sooner we accept this reality, the better. Even if the government changes, the channels will remain the same they will simply sing the praises of a different leader because they have their own compulsions, like advertisements and funding. The very opposition that labels them ‘Godi Media’ today will be defending them tomorrow, and the party defending them today will turn against them tomorrow.
It’s not just the media. Take the Ram Mandir ruling, for instance. It was delivered during the Modi government. The facts were the same, the history was the same, and the demands were the same. Yet, the judgment didn’t come during the Congress era; it came during the BJP’s tenure. When the political winds change, verdicts change too. We just have to accept this reality. Moral high grounds serve no practical purpose here. We need to be realistic.
At last, na aap neutral ho aur na mai then humme Journalism ko leke moral high ground ki baat nahi karni chahiye.
Look, Aaraadhya, to some extent, there is a specific trait that is highly prevalent in states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and a few others and that trait is jealousy. If someone from UP or Bihar is going through their worst phase, or conversely, if they are wealthy, they really shouldn’t take their relatives’ words to heart. Anyone interested in knowing the basic facts would naturally wonder: where exactly was this uncle until now?
To some extent, yes, I also find Khan Sir to be somewhat double faced. He speaks up for women's rights, yet at his own wedding, his wife appeared on stage wearing a full burqa (Taliban jaisa chahte hai females ko dekhna). All his modern thoughts seemed to vanish when it came to his own marriage. Furthermore, if you listen to his podcasts, they are honestly quite terrible. If anyone truly deserves the title of ‘head of WhatsApp University,’it has to be Khan Sir.
My advice is simple: save the screenshots. Document every single tweet containing hatred and abusive language posted since the restoration of his @X account. When the account is inevitably suspended again, these screenshots will serve as definitive evidence, allowing the public to clearly differentiate between genuine ‘freedom of speech’ and sheer, targeted ‘hatred toward the regime.’
Just recently, we witnessed a young student ethically hacking into the CBSE evaluation website to expose critical vulnerability, an initiative so profound that the government subsequently invited them to brief a parliamentary committee. Fast forward to today, and a vigilant citizen (@AgniVesa_07 ) has uncovered what appears to be merely the tipnof a massive iceberg regarding a coordinated anti-india narrative.
The begs a glaring question: What exactly are our State agencies doing?
Why does the administration continue to treat systemic global racism as a trivial, peripheral issue? The consequences of this passive stance are devastatingly real. Just today, yet another individual of indian origin was tragically killed in the United States.
• The Policies Double Standard: Whenever trade or export sectors encounter the slightest friction, indian agencies and Policymakers mobilize overnight to troubleshoot, driven by the lure of incoming foreign revenue.
• The Grim Reality: Yet, when bright, living students leave Indian shores in pursuit of higher education, they all too often return in body bags.
The Tragic loss of young life is the direct byproduct of a profound, collective negligence by government worldwide. It is high time for New Delhi to realize that protecting the lives of its citizens abroad demands the same urgency as protecting the flow of dollars.
Meet Sadiq ali, the pakistani canadian, living in toronto, he's the head of TF-2990, and runs dozens of similar accs, his soul purpose is to spread misinfo and hatred against indians on a massive scale by manipulating twitter algorithm.
EXPOSING HIS ENTIRE SYNDICATE. 🧵
How would you counter a citizen from the North who poses this sharp argument: The Congress party governed the nation for nearly 70 years, and historically, their vote share was immensely strong in the South. Could this prolonged alignment be the exact reason why the South developed rapidly while the North lagged behind? If confronted with this line of reasoning, how would you address it?
Btw veere, I would highly recommend reviewing the history of the Freight Equalization Policy to gain better context on this issue.
You argue that the South contributes more to the GDP than the North. There is no doubt that their financial contribution is immense, but one must ask: could this level of productivity have been achieved without the central government's foundational support? If the Centre truly intended to marginalize the South, it could have easily shifted key industrial sectors to the North. Had that happened, people from the Southern states would have migrated North in search of opportunities, because ultimately, everyone seeks a livelihood.
Furthermore, from the pre-independence era to the post-independence period, the demographic mindset regarding family size in the South has remained largely consistent. There is no point in assigning blame to either region for these shifting numbers. (Historically, the North bore the brunt of foreign invasions and conquests, which deeply altered its socio-cultural fabric over centuries, inadvertently embedding certain survivalist and demographic patterns, including larger family sizes).
In a robust democracy, however, being ruled by an opposition party naturally limits the favors you receive from the federal government, regardless of whether you are located in the North or the South. Consider this hypothetical scenario: keep the current state governments exactly as they are, but replace the ruling BJP with the Congress party at the Centre. In that setup, even with their lower parliamentary representation, would the Southern states still face step-motherly treatment? And would a massive Northern state like Uttar Pradesh continue to receive the lion's share of development benefits from the central government?
Sometimes I feel that whenever politicians and their cadres find the summer heat too unbearable, they simply call for a protest. If you observe closely, you will notice that the vast majority of protest happen during the peak of summer. When winter arrives, raising political issues and risking getting blasted by a police water cannon seems to terrify the opposition in equal measure.
Having read this column, I must commend the author on a truly exceptional piece of writing. Its core truth resonates deeply. While my own political ideology diverges from yours and aligns more closely with several women currently serving in Parliament..there are moments that transcend partisan lines. There comes a time when you look at the collective presence of our leaders and feel an immense wave of pride in India’s rich traditions, beautifully embodied in our cultural attire.
It is an undeniable historical reality that Indira Gandhi refused to bow to foreign pressure; indeed, this unyielding stance was her greatest strength. Conversely, it is equally true that her father, Jawaharlal Nehru, capitulated to international pressures so profoundly that a single one of his compromises threatened to bring India to its knees.
Throughout her life, Indira Gandhi spearheaded numerous initiatives for which she is remembered to this day. Yet, her tenure was simultaneously marred by dark chapters that continue to disquiet anyone studying modern Indian history. Chief among these blots was the imposition of the Emergency.
Admittedly, the precise compulsions of that era remain a subject of intense historical debate. The literature on the Emergency is deeply polarized: read one historical account, and her strategic rationale is lauded; turn to another, and she faces fierce backlash.
However, as neutral citizens looking back, we can assert one truth with absolute clarity: regardless of how dire the circumstances were, imposing the Emergency was the worst kind of state decision, a draconian overreach enacted simply because a court of law had declared her election fraudulent.
