I am just going to leave this here, Milan Twitter.

Nell'Europa che conta ci va lui, imprenditore anch'esso proveniente da lontano, ma dimostratosi decisamente più capace nell'organizzare un gruppo di lavoro di come si sia dimostrato Gerry #Cardinale in questi 4 anni di gestione. Con una squadra che si trovava in serie cadetta solo un paio di stagione fa, l'indonesiano ottiene una qualificazione che avrebbe tanto fatto comodo alle tasche dell'americano. A #Como non avranno una sede a cinque piani, ma quelli che hanno viaggiano almeno verso la stessa direzione, e i risultati parlano per loro. Prendere lezioni dal una piccola realtà in riva al lago, questo è il nostro presente, sperando in un futuro decisamente diverso.

जब लाखों युवा सड़क पर हों, 22 लाख बच्चों का भविष्य दांव पर हो और PM चुप हो - तो सरकार जवाब देने नहीं, बचने में लगी है। जब तक धर्मेंद्र प्रधान का इस्तीफा नहीं होता और NEET जैसे पेपर लीक रोकने के लिए foolproof सिस्टम नहीं बनता - हम रुकेंगे नहीं।

The year was 1985. Gorbachev had just been elected. The world didn’t know yet if this meant the end the cold war. PM Rajiv Gandhi lands in the United States. Still just 40. Only 7 months into office. Critics barking at his door. He faced a US government deeply suspicious of Indo Soviet ties, an American public, contemptuous of socialism and a belligerent press. Then Rajiv Gandhi did something very rare for a global press event. He took on the world’s press. Completely unscripted. When he was done he had changed the dynamic forever. He gave the world a new modern dynamic India, unafraid of the geopolitical transition the world was in. An India, the world had not seen before. A masterclass in diplomacy - read and be astounded- Question : Mr. Prime Minister, India claims to be non-aligned, yet your first official trip abroad was to the Soviet Union, and you have consistently supported their positions. Isn't India actually tilted heavily towards Moscow..?? Rajiv Gandhi : We will not be tied to the apron strings of any major power. We do not lean left or right. India always stands up straight. We look at things on their merits. Our friendship with the Soviet Union is time tested. They have stood by us in times of need. But I don't think our friendship with one country should be at the cost of friendship with another. Question: India has already detonated a nuclear device in 1974. With Pakistan reportedly developing a bomb, can you tell us plainly, does India currently have nuclear weapons, or are you secretly building one..?? Rajiv Gandhi : We do not have a nuclear bomb. We have no intention of making a nuclear bomb. We are a peaceful nation. But let me also make it clear that if we are forced into a corner, and if our security is threatened by a nuclear neighbor, we will have to rethink our options. But we hope it never comes to that point. Question : India is a poor country that relies heavily on foreign aid. Yet, your government spends vast amounts of money on heavy military equipment and defense. How do you justify this to your citizens..?? Rajiv Gandhi : We do not want to spend a single paisa on defense that could otherwise go into building a school, a hospital, or a road. But look at our neighborhood. When highly sophisticated weapons, far beyond the legitimate defense needs of a country, are pumped into our region, we have no choice but to protect our borders. Security cannot be compromised for development, because without security, there is no development. Question: In light of the horrific Union Carbide chemical disaster in Bhopal just a few months ago, do you feel American corporations cannot be trusted, and will this hurt US investments in India..?? Rajiv Gandhi : Bhopal was a terrible tragedy, and it showed a gross disregard for safety standards that would never be permitted even in the United States. There must be equal responsibility and accountability for human lives, whether in America or in India. However, this does not mean India is closing its doors to foreign technology. We want American technology and investments, but we also want corporations that respect our laws and our people. Question : Did you bring any message to Washington from Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat. Rajiv Gandhi : No, we have not brought any message from Arafat or anyone else. We try not to be messengers." PERIOD

But Didi was the dictator?

Say hello 👋 to the first Indian club 🇮🇳 whose men's and women's teams will both compete in AFC competitions in the same season as National League champions ❤️💛 #JoyEastBengal #ISLChampions #IWLChampions

I want to dedicate this ISL 🏆 to my beloved #AmagoFans The ones who believed before there was a reason to. The ones who pushed when it was hard. The ones who convinced us that it was possible. Football is a team game, but loyalty is something else. That belongs to you. ❤️💛

Fascism Not Democracy. Our government is so scared of the youth of this country that it can’t even bear a virtual online movement. Please realise what odds we in the Opposition fight on a daily basis.

The NEET paper leak would probably have stayed buried forever if a school teacher from Sikar had not refused to stay silent. Shashikant Suthar, a chemistry teacher from Rajasthan, was shown a “guess paper” by one of his neighbors after the NEET exam. That PDF had reportedly been circulating in Telegram groups for weeks. Out of curiosity, he matched it with the real exam paper. The result was terrifying. Around 140 questions were identical. Same sequence. Same wording. Even punctuation marks matched. He rushed to the local police station expecting immediate action. Nobody listened. No FIR. No urgency. No investigation. But instead of giving up, he kept escalating the matter emailing the NTA, PMO, President of India, and CBI while continuously raising the issue online. Only then did the system move. Rajasthan Police formed a Special Operations Group. What initially looked like a small leak soon exploded into a nationwide examination scam connected across multiple states. The case eventually reached the CBI. NEET was cancelled. And investigators uncovered an organized network of professional paper leak operators. This entire scandal was exposed because one ordinary teacher decided that remaining silent was not an option. Sometimes one honest citizen is more powerful than an entire broken system.

I welcome the pushback to my post and interview on the #CockroachJantaParty phenomenon. Many users dismissed it as a Pakistani-manufactured conspiracy, but that is too simplistic: there are also counter-claims by @abhijeet_dipke that 94% of his followers are based in India. Whatever be the truth (and perhaps @Instagram should put the record straight), my point is that suppressing it is foolish in a democracy. Democracy’s great virtue is the outlets it provides for public sentiment, frustration and grievances. Letting these be aired on a satirical site IS in the national interest. Whatever be the founders’ motivations, there is no denying that they have tapped into an important strain of national sentiment among our youth. As custodians of our democracy, both Government and Opposition need to sit up, listen and tackle the underlying discontent. Ignoring it, denying it and worst of all, suppressing it would be disastrous. Such movements serve like the valves on a pressure-cooker, letting off steam. If the valves were closed, the cooker would explode under the pressure. I prefer satire to chaos, anarchy or revolution. I also feel it is our job to identify and deliver solutions to the problems of Young India. Let’s lift the ban and tune in! hindustantimes.com/s/1V723Pc

1 USD = Rs. 60: Elect us. We will bring it down to Rs. 40. Rs. 70: Working on it. Happening very soon. Rs. 80: Look, it will take time. Need to undo 60 years. Rs. 90: What are you complaining about? It's good for the economy. Rs. 95: How does it matter anyway?

How many more years will India lose to communal politics while the world races ahead in AI, semiconductors, and clean energy? The current politics of India has very little to offer GenZ beyond distractions, division, and empty promises. In conversation with @sanket

Modi deserves to be humiliated everywhere he goes. He has not given a single press conference in 12 years since he became the Prime Minister. He fails to fulfill the basic transparency and accountability requirements of being a leader. I would like to encourage foreign journalists from other European countries to ask him questions wherever they see him, just like @HelleLyngSvends did. Embarrass him so much that he is forced to show some accountability in front of people. You will be doing great service for India’s progress.

Indians who are avoiding foreign trips watching Modi ji and Meloni ji chilling in Rome :

A proper Champions League final celebration 😅❤️🖤 #UCLfinal
