"To be a Toltec is a way of life. It is a way of life where there are no leaders and no followers, where you have your own truth and live your own truth. A Toltec becomes wise, becomes wild and becomes free again."
Excerpts from ' The Four Agreements ' by Don Miguel Ruiz
"You gave Congress 60 years. Just give me 60 months, and I'll make India so developed that even Americans will stand in queues for visas."
A few years later...
"I can deliver only if you give me a double-engine government. Then development will run at double speed."
After 12 years...
"If I wasn't in power, you would all be dead by now. Trust me, we will become a world power by 2056."
– Jumelendra Maharaj
Was ethanol blending in petrol a scientific decision, a financial decision, or a political one? If it’s scientific, show us the data. If it’s financial, explain the economics. If it’s political, be honest about it. Citizens deserve transparency-not assumptions.

Her name is Shreya Singhal.
She was twenty one years old, a law student, when she challenged a law that allowed people to be arrested for what they posted online.
She took the fight to the Supreme Court, and she won.
In 2012, two young women in Maharashtra were arrested.
One had questioned on Facebook why an entire city had been shut down after a politician’s funeral.
The other had simply liked the post.
Both were arrested under Section 66A of the Information Technology Act.
The law made it a criminal offence to send online messages that were “offensive” or caused “annoyance” or “inconvenience.”
Those words were never clearly defined.
That meant almost any online post could become a criminal case if someone in authority decided it was offensive.
Across the country, people were arrested under the law for cartoons, jokes and criticism posted online.
Shreya Singhal was not a politician or a well known lawyer.
She was a student who believed the law violated the Constitution.
She filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging Section 66A.
The case took three years.
On March 24, 2015, the Supreme Court struck down Section 66A in its entirety, holding that it violated the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech and expression.
With one judgment, a law that had been used to make arbitrary arrests over online speech ceased to exist.
She did not fight with the backing of a political party or a powerful organisation.
She fought because she believed an unjust law should not survive.
A law that threatened the free speech of millions was struck down because one twenty one year old law student refused to stay silent.
Follow for stories India deserves to remember.
I write this with extreme sadness for my country. When young Indian PM Indira Gandhi landed in the US on 27.3.1966, she had just one mission- secure US wheat for starving Indians. She met Prez Lyndon Johnson, the next day. Johnson promised to give India all the wheat it needed- But on one condition- India shd unconditionally support The US in the Vietnam War. The IRON LADY of India flatly refused. The US punished India by delaying,& reducing wheat shipments to India. Remember, this was the time India was critically on US wheat. India lived from (US) ship to mouth. Yet, Indira was unmoved.
On 26 July 1956, Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Egyptian Suez Canal after the U.S. and Britain withdrew funding for the Aswan High Dam. In November 1956, at the UN, Indian PM Nehru thundered against the Anglo-French-Israeli military intervention in Egypt. Even adversaries listened to Nehru at the UN in complete silence. Such was his stature. India was punished for this by Europe. He didn't bother. India stood for what was right.
A grateful Egypt, closed the Suez Canal in Dec 1961, to deny the (then) powerful Portuguese Navy, despatched by dictator António de Oliveira Salazar passage to reach Goa, when India integrated the Indian territory of Goa from Portuguese control. Those were the times. Dirt poor, no military or Industries to speak of, yet India stood up for what was correct.
Today, India is a strong economy & military. Attends G7. Yet, we act as a client state of the US. Following US threats, India will be represented at the Khamenei funeral by, hold ur breath- The Governor of Bihar. PM Modi shd hv been there to grieve with our Iranian friends, for an elderly Shia Muslim Cleric revered by the entire Muslim World.
Even President Zia attended Indira Gandhi's funeral, & both sitting Pak PM Nawaz Sheriff & Benazir Bhutto attended the funeral of Rajiv Gandhi, when he was not even PM. Such diplomatic niceties are common even btw enemies. But, the Supreme Leader of Shia Muslims of the world is given a burial, & the Indian PM will not be there.
Woe betide our India!
