He has been in non-field postings for 9 years since then. 16 judges have recused themselves from hearing his cases. No government in India wants him posted in their state. That is how you know he is doing his job right.

My mother used to set an extra plate at every holiday dinner. One year, I asked her, 'Mom, why do we waste food on someone who isn't here?' She looked at me and said, 'That plate isn't for a ghost, son. It's for my boundaries. It reminds me of the person I had to cut out of my life to keep this home peaceful. It’s a reminder that I would rather have an empty chair than a person who brings poison to my table.' ​I realized then that my mother’s peace wasn't an accident. It was a choice. She had spent her 40s trying to 'save' everyone, but in her 60s, she decided to save herself. ​The older you get, the more you realize that a quiet house is a luxury, not a loneliness. You don't owe anyone a seat at your table if they don't bring respect to your home. ​Peace is the only thing worth more than family loyalty when that loyalty is one-sided. Honor your peace above all else. - Annonymous

The major blockade for Subhash Chandra Bose during his Congress days was Vallabhbhai Patel. The conflict originated when the latter's brother, Vithalbhai Patel, died in Vienna in 1933 and bequeathed three-fourths of his estate to Subhas to be used for the political upliftment of India. Vallabhbhai refused to accept the will as genuine and dragged Subhas to court; ultimately, Subhas Chandra lost the case in the Bombay High Court. ​Patel remained dissatisfied with Subhas Chandra’s tenure as Congress President. In July 1938, while Rajendra Prasad was ill, Patel wrote to him, "Jawahar has gone abroad for at least four months. You go out for six months and we have to deal with a President who does not know his own job." ​The Tripuri election turned acrimonious in late January when Patel cabled his Working Committee colleague and Subhas's elder brother, Sarat Bose, stating that Subhas's reelection was unnecessary and that the members of the Working Committee would issue a statement supporting Pattabhi Sitaramayya. In response, Sarat Bose maintained that Working Committee colleagues should not take sides.

History इतिहास 🇺🇲🛕 🚀
When the Ghazi dynasty got burnt. A fact scrubbed from the history books of India. The bronze gates of Sikandra were cast to withstand time itself. Massive barriers of metal sealing the tomb of Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar, they stood for eighty-three years as monuments to imperial permanence. But permanence is only as strong as its guards. On March 28, 1688, the guards were elsewhere, and the gates came down. The attack was calculated, not chaotic. Rajaram, a Jat chieftain who had suffered heavy losses assaulting Mughal forces earlier that winter, exploited a critical vacuum. Shaista Khan, the newly appointed governor of Agra, had failed to arrive on schedule. The local garrison, leaderless, collapsed before Rajaram’s assault. The rebels broke the bronze gates and entered with systematic fury. They stripped gold, silver, and precious stones from the tomb of the mightiest Mughal. What they could not carry, they smashed. But the true target was not treasure. It was the body itself. Months earlier, the Mughals had captured Gokula, Rajaram’s predecessor and spiritual father of the Jat resistance. The imperial response was deliberate cruelty: Gokula, a Hindu, was buried in the Muslim manner, denied the purification of fire that would release his soul. At Sikandra, Rajaram’s men enacted terrible symmetry. They opened Akbar’s grave, dragged out the bones, and burned them. The Venetian physician Niccolao Manucci, residing at the Mughal court, recorded the scene with clinical horror. The Jats, he wrote, threw Akbar’s bones “angrily into the fire and burnt them.” The Persian chronicler Ishwardas Nagar corroborated the account. Cremation is abomination in Islam; in Hindu cosmology, it is liberation. By forcing Akbar’s remains through the flames denied to Gokula, the rebels performed a sacrament, a Hindu rite upon the Muslim emperor who had embodied the empire’s claim to transcendence. The symbolism was crushing. No emperor, not even the syncretist Akbar, was beyond retribution. The Jats had demonstrated that Mughal dead were as vulnerable as Mughal living, that bronze gates and marble domes were merely stagecraft. The imperial response measured impotence in cavalry. Muhammad Baqa, the deputy who failed to defend the tomb, saw his rank cut by five hundred horses; Khan-i-Jahan lost one thousand. These were accounting adjustments, not executions, as if the empire could ledger its way out of sacrilege. Shaista Khan eventually arrived to govern ashes. Historians have treated the desecration as footnote. It was not. This was iconoclasm as argument, a physical dismantling of imperial pretensions. By turning Akbar’s tomb into a pyre, the Jats forced a question: if the emperor could not protect his own bones, how could he protect the realm? In the decades that followed, Aurangzeb chased ghosts across the Deccan, but none haunted him like the smoke rising from his great-grandfather’s grave. The gates were replaced, the narrative sanitized. But the fire had done its work. It revealed that empires, however grand, are temporary arrangements of power, vulnerable to men who realize that gates are only metal, and emperors, in the end, are only bone.

In November 2016, the government announced demonetisation overnight. A Delhi company had ₹3.19 crore in cash. Legally earned. Fully documented. Tax returns filed. They went to Axis Bank to deposit it. Bank refused. Called it "suspicious." They went again. Refused. Again. Refused. Sent emails. No response. Went to RBI. No action. Filed a writ in Supreme Court. Still nothing. The deadline passed. ₹3.19 crore in cash became worthless paper overnight. They filed a consumer case in 2018. Fought for 8 years. Last month — court ruled. Axis Bank ordered to pay ₹3.19 crore. Plus 6% interest from December 2016. Plus 9% if they delay payment. The bank called their money suspicious. The court called the bank's behaviour illegal. Save this post. If a bank ever refuses a legitimate transaction — get it in writing. Then fight

Two beggars are sitting side by side on the street in Rome... One has a cross in front of him, the other a Star of David. Many people go by, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross. A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar sitting behind the cross, but none give to the beggar sitting behind the Star of David. Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, "Don't you understand? This is a Catholic country. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially if you're sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give it to him just out of spite!" The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said, "Moshe, look who's trying to teach the Goldstein Brothers about marketing!"

Yesterday, a close relative had a bad elbow fracture (comminuted, bone fragments inside). I guided them to one of the best orthos in the city, proper evaluation, clear advice: surgery needed. They said they needed time, then refused. Called my cousin next, he suggested a very good, trusted surgeon, his own batchmate. They went, got admitted and then cancelled immediately. Why? Because 2 random “uncle recommendations” came in, a cheaper option somewhere else. Now they’re going there after already delaying treatment for 2 days. And months later, if anything goes wrong, guess who they’ll blame? We don’t lack medical advice in this country. We lack the ability to trust it.

1) Jaichand was a great king and not a traitor. 2) Akbar had a law that unveiled women found in public if caught shall have to live life of a prostutite. 3) People, Jagat Seth and Mir Jafar sided with British against Siraj because he was a sadist, tyrant abs pervert who was known for persecuting Hindus. He had his bad eyes even on Jagat Seth’s daughter.

@_OKJ__ I need to ask you something. Jesus was famous. He gave so many sarmons and healed do many people. Why he was needed to be identified by Judas before guards?

I was having a conversation with a Christian friend last night about some of the reasons I do not believe the gospel accounts of the death and resurrection are reliable… one such reason was when Jesus Christ was actually crucified. I told him this isn’t some obscure detail….it’s the central event of the entire story. And yet when you line up the accounts, they don’t just differ slightly, they contradict in a way that cannot be reconciled. I started with the Gospel of Mark. In Mark, Jesus eats the Passover meal with his disciples…that’s the Last Supper. After that, he’s arrested overnight, tried, and then crucified the next mornin at about 9 a.m. (Mark 15:25). So in this account, the crucifixion happens after the Passover meal. Then I showed him the Gospel of John. Here, everything shifts. Jesus is still before Pontius Pilate around noon on the day of Preparation of the Passover ….the very day the Passover lambs are being slaughtered (John 19:14). That means Jesus is crucified before the Passover meal, not after. So in one account, Jesus eats the Passover, in the other, he dies before it even happens. My friend tried to say maybe it’s just a minor timing issue. But it’s not. This completely changes the sequence of events. In Mark, the Last Supper is the Passover meal. In John, it can’t be…because Jesus is already dead before the meal begins. You can’t have both. Then I asked him why John would move it. And that’s where the real issue comes in. John is the only gospel that strongly pushes the idea of Jesus as the “Lamb of God.” So what does the author do? He places Jesus’ death at the exact time the Passover lambs are being slaughtered in Jerusalem. This is not history shaping theology…it’s theology reshaping history. Once you see that, it’s hard to unsee. The timeline isn’t just reported differently…it’s reworked to make a symbolic point. And that raises a bigger question I asked him directly…if the author is willing to change the day of Jesus’ death to fit a theological message, what else in the story has been adjusted for the same reason? At that point, he didn’t realy have a response. Because this isn’t something you can harmonize without doing violence to the texts. Jesus cannot both eat the Passover meal and die before it. He cannot be crucified the morning after and the afternoon before at the same time. This really clearly shows that these accounts are theological narratives written by believers shaping the story to express what they believed. And once that door opens, the reliability of the entire narrative becomes a serious question.
