For decades, we grew up hearing a collective myth in our school playgrounds: "Indians just don't have the fast-twitch muscle genetics for the 100m sprint." But on this day, the national record changed hands three times in less than 24 hours at Ranchi — Gurindervir to Animesh, Animesh back to Gurindervir — before Gurindervir settled it emphatically in the final with 10.09 seconds. The roar after the finish was the bugle for India's next generation of sprinters to make the world their stage! Gurindervir and Animesh are proving that the sub-10 second mark is just a countdown away. And honestly — we're here for every second of it. 🇮🇳⚡





Indians now want to take clubs away from Indians who were not allowed in these clubs for 250 years. Come on have a heart. A little compromise will keep a small part of Delhis history alive.

The entitlement and nostalgia is nauseating. Open up these clubs for public participation completely and then you may have some argument to make, otherwise bastions of elite privilege deserve little sympathy.


Mass voter deletions in Bengal, demolitions in Bandra, delimitation in Assam: you can do anything in India now if you simply use the magic "B" word. No need to actually prove anything, legally or otherwise. It doesn't even matter how surreal the contention is given GDP figures. Just say it and it's done.

Just saw some tweets by this @francescam63 person being responded to by Pakistanis. I don’t know why anyone would take a joker like her seriously? Mortimer Wheeler already settled the debate and so did Rahmat Ali when he cited Indus Valley as the basis for Pakistan as early as 1933. Doesn’t matter what some third rate journalist, who claims to have written a book which no one has heard of, claims or says. Indus Valley Civilisation belongs to Pakistan and every archaeologist and historian attests to that. As for this person it is fitting the word scam is so prominent in her Twitter handle. Scam63 indeed.

You can't make this shit up! What the @Cockroachisback phenomenon shows is the depth of anger, frustration and alienation amongst young people at the direction the @BJP4India is taking the country—the lack of proper economic opportunities, the rising inequality driven by @narendramodi's active promotion of Big Business agendas, the incessant promotion of religious hatred, the misogyny, the Modi cult of personality, the suppression of free speech. And here's an "input" for the IB to consider. This feeling is not going to away because you block a handle here or a post there.

No amount of justification can convince me of the non-selection of Aquib Nabi. Poor guy bowled his heart out for two seasons and picked 100+ #RanjiTrophy wickets only to be ignored for someone who had played just 2 games this season. Please stop this nonsensical justifications: Hit the deck bowler, hit the head bowler, hence picked. While I can understand they are special skill sets, it can’t be rewarded without decent game time, by ignoring someone with unprecedented performances for seasons. I’m afraid, a wrong message has been sent out to the youngsters who are giving their heart and soul in the #RanjiTrophy


District courts in India need complete revamp. Many courts don’t have toilets. CJI must get a consolidated data on infrastructure of these courts. More than online functioning they need working fans and furniture in the courtrooms.
