Mr Farsa baba, a self styled “cow vigilante” and a “god man” chases a truck on a busy national highway and stops it in the middle of the driving lane to inspect it for cows but finds shampoo and soaps instead. He stood in the middle of the highway doing all this act in the early morning foggy day and gets run over by a truck from behind for no fault of the truck. His fanboys now demanding this. Cow vigilantes are not only dangerous but also stupid too. From Pawal to Mathura stretch, there is a complete surrender of state to them. At night it is dangerous to be driving on this stretch.

Is the government utterly helpless before vigilante mobs, or does it treat the mob with respect because it's an extension of the mob itself?

Tiresome chatter on whether to shut the stable door after the horse has bolted. The time to spotlight the issue and force a proper selection of election commissioners was before the 2024 election when two stooges were appointed at lightning speed and the opposition let it slide

“CEC should be selected only after 2/3rd voting in the Parliament as discussed in the constituent assembly.” Nepal has mechanism to elect CEC through a 5 member in which CJI & LoP of both houses are there, but the largest democracy has one PM & one minister where LoP has no role

"Future of girls in India." US, UK, China, Japan.. focus on providing quality education to children, but in India, lakhs of poor boys and girls are forced to hard work to feed their families. What's the point of becoming an economic power if our children are not part of it?

In 1971, Indira Gandhi quietly turned to Israel for small arms for the Mukti Bahini - routing the request via a Liechtenstein firm, which diverted weapons originally meant for Iran to India. Fascinating fact from Srinath Raghavan’s book on the global history of Bangladesh war.

Location: Kurawali, Mainpuri, Uttar Pradesh "I'll bury you in the soil... I'll wipe you out. No namaz will be offered here." SHO Lalit Bhati’s High-Handedness in Kurawali, Mainpuri! ⚠️ Arriving to halt prayers at a decades-old Eidgah, SHO Lalit Bhati threatened the *Mutawalli* (caretaker), Shakir Hussain, declaring that he would "grind him into the dust." The situation became even more shameful when local Hindu residents also stated that they had no objections—and pointed out that Eid prayers have been offered at this site for years—yet the police continued to behave rudely and abusively for 20 minutes.

No one seems to care in India that there are more than 1000 troops of #IndianArmy in #SouthLebanon which is under constant bombing by Israelis. Please pray for the lives of our brave soldiers who were deployed as part of UNIFIL to maintain the sanctity of Blue Line. Jai Hind 🇮🇳

Rofl Gandhi 2.0 🏹 Commentary
I have been informed that @PoliceRajasthan thinks that I have violated the 'Indian Law' by posting an AI Generated pic of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. They seem to be concerned about a dictator's image. Putting it here, so that you all know why I disappeared suddenly.
