While I explain the IIT poster, I highlight the debate that has become explosive to “serve higher classes”

And use the latest The Hindu article to explain why science’s use to determine the caste might encounter some really difficult questions

You decide your own answer 🙏

This is my edit page article in today’s The Hindu on what is wrong with our higher education institutions and universities and why we as academic administrators and not students are to be blamed for this mess.

[Neetu Tiwari @Growwithneetu_]

An excellent article from a sociological point of view. On reading this you will understand how intersectional studies make a subject rich. The article shows that it's not biology that shapes caste, but the other way round — caste-based discrimination shapes environment, genetics and neuroscience. A must read for UPSC aspirants to get an analytical understanding on caste based discrimination

Dr. R. Balasubramaniam, Member, NITI Aayog, in his article ‘Rethinking Progress’, reflects on recent disasters and the broader lessons they offer for development, sustainability and resilience.

He highlights the need to move beyond conventional approaches towards regenerative development, where infrastructure, communities and ecosystems are strengthened together.

The article calls for a development approach that draws upon India’s civilisational wisdom while harnessing modern science and technology to build resilience and ensure that progress remains rooted in ecological balance, community stewardship and human dignity.

The article argues that India’s linguistic reorganization was not a concession to separatism but a constitutional strategy for preserving national unity.

With women’s reservation coming up periodically in debates about restructuring Parliament, my reflections in today’s @NewIndianXpress on the broader question of women’s representation in Parliament and the startling lack of minority women MPs. What is Indian democracy missing?

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

A curious data point, and what it might mean : According to the latest NFHS-6 data, while institutional deliveries in our country have soared to an impressive 90.6%, exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) rates for infants under six months have sharply declined from 63.7% to 55.8%. This alarming drop is steepest in rural areas and major states like Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. This decline exposes a tragic disconnect between public policy and ground reality. Over 16 crore women toil in India's unorganised sector. Without paid maternity leave or job security, thousands of working mothers are forced back into informal labour within weeks of delivery just to survive, making the recommended six months of exclusive breastfeeding an economic impossibility.

This crisis is further exacerbated by a sharp rise in C-section deliveries and the aggressive marketing of infant formula substitutes. Breast milk is a child’s ultimate shield against malnutrition and infant mortality. The answer lies in the Government and employers extending robust financial maternity benefits to the informal sector, strictly enforcing the Infant Milk Substitutes (IMS) Act, and strengthening postnatal lactation counselling across all health centres.

Is anyone planning any such action?

Haryana CMO- "Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has announced measures to provide job security to sanitation workers employed on the municipal roll. At present, 13,093 municipal-roll sanitation workers are working in urban local bodies and are being paid ₹20,590 per month. The government is ready to bring these workers under the Haryana Contractual Employees Act, 2024, which will provide them with benefits broadly similar to those available to regular employees. Under the move, their service will be secured until the age of 60, and they will also receive a monthly risk allowance of ₹2,000. The government has further agreed to provide an additional 15% over and above the benefits payable under the 2024 Act...For sanitation workers who have been working on the municipal roll for more than 10 years, the monthly payable amount will be ₹25,560."

My latest column in @the_hindu looks at the evolving geopolitical situation in the Gulf and the broader West Asian region, where new security arrangements are evolving that in different ways could affect India’s interests. Is it time for a new approach from New Delhi?

[Sleepy Classes @SleepyClasses]

We frequently treat juvenile crime as a policing problem, ignoring that our justice system was designed to rehabilitate not just punish children who have been pushed to the margins.

​𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗼-𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀:
Poverty intersects with school exclusion, child labor, and substance abuse to create vulnerabilities pushing children toward crime.

​𝗝𝘂𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘀:
Protective provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act fail to reach all vulnerable children, exposing a gap in a framework built on rehabilitation rather than retribution.

​𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀:
Early, unsupervised exposure to graphic content and adult experiences via technology and social media adds a complex dimension to juvenile deviance.

​𝗪𝗮𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱:
Shift from reactive policing to preventive justice by deploying trained social workers for early interventions, strengthening Juvenile Justice Boards, and ensuring continuous post-institutional rehabilitation.

According to news activists India Today:

[Dr Gaurav Garg @DrGauravGarg4]

Regional Political Parties that Received the Highest Donations in India in 2023-24👇

1. Aam Janmat Party (Gujarat) — 620 crore

2. Satyavadi Rakshak Party (Gujarat) — 330 crore

3. New India United Party (Gujarat) — 200 crore

4. Swatantra Abhivyakti Party (a paper party)— 219 crore

5. Bharatiya National Janata Party — 191 crore

6. Garib Kalyan Party (Gujarat) — 138 crore

None of these parties have any Lok Sabha MPs or MLAs; they contest elections on barely 2-4 seats, yet these 6 parties received donations of nearly 1700+ crore, while Congress received only about 288 crore.

Have you ever heard the names of these parties??🤔
