836 MBBS seats vacant in Tamil Nadu & Puducherry. Annual fees: ₹23–35 lakh. Yet 11 lakh candidates cleared NEET-2026.
So, what has NEET achieved?
A common entrance test, but not equal access. Students prove their merit, only to discover that their dreams depend on their parents’ bank balance.
What is the point of qualifying NEET if you cannot afford a seat?
Medical education must reward merit, not money. The Union Govt must cap exorbitant fees and make medical education accessible to deserving students from every background.

Billions of dollars are spent on US elections because campaigns know how much your vote is worth. The decisions made at the ballot box shape our schools, our workplaces, and the laws that decide whether our children can practice their faith freely. It is our responsibility to protect that freedom for the next generation. Voting is one of the most direct ways we can do it. Please check your registration, make a plan to get to the polls, and bring someone with you. Election Day is November 3, and early voting is open in many states.

"AIPAC announced on Wednesday that, after three cycles of direct political involvement through its political action committee AIPAC PAC, it will no longer issue endorsements or directly earmark contributions to candidates, but said it will remain involved in political organizing and fundraising in other ways, including with its influential super PAC."
Hundreds of writers, actors, historians and Nobel Prize-winning authors have signed an open letter published in The New Statesman, condemning the withdrawal of Irish novelist Sally Rooney’s books from sale in the UK over her support for Palestine Action.
The signatories include actors Paul Mescal and Daisy Edgar-Jones, Nobel laureates Annie Ernaux, J. M. Coetzee and Anne Carson, as well as Susan Sarandon, Tilda Swinton, Arundhati Roy, Jeremy Corbyn and Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja.
“Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist,” the letter states, calling the withdrawal an assault on freedom of expression and urging the government to amend the legislation behind the decision.
Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation in July 2025. Rooney and her publisher, Faber, agreed to withdraw her books from UK sales after she said she would donate proceeds to the group, which has targeted facilities linked to Israel’s arms industry.
WE BROKE AIPAC, The Backlash is WORKING
AIPAC leadership confirms in a letter to members that it is ending official candidate endorsements, direct PAC contributions, and earmarking following growing public backlash.
Instead, it will organize individual donations and use new fundraising tools to support its preferred candidates, while its affiliated super PAC continues operating.
The money isn't disappearing. They're changing how it flows.

In an act completely devoid of basic humanity, circulating footage shows an Israeli soldier brutally attacking a cat by violently throwing it over a fence inside the “Havat HaShomer” military base.
CNN will never show you this.
An Israeli settler demon pointing a gun at a Palestinian farmer:
"This land is mine now. Get out. Never come back"
The farmer's family worked that land for generations.
The settler demon flew in from Eastern Europe to steal land.
