happy to share something i’ve been building (and obsessing over) for the last couple months: 🚨 policyradar.in — a daily dashboard for people who care about Indian policy, but hate tracking it. 🧵Here’s what’s new:

Rekha, sister of Nithin Raj who died at Kannur dental college last week, shows his notebooks, from his years preparing for NEET to be a doctor. "Look how neatly he kept them" she says, her voice cracking Family says he was driven to death by the casteist harassment of a professor

23 major news outlets, including The New York Times and USA Today, are now blocking the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from saving copies of their articles. They are doing this because they do not want AI companies to use the archived pages to train large language models. This surely protects their content from scraping, it also limits public access to historical news records. It makes it harder to track how stories change over time and preserving journalism

Journo: Are you even 10th Pass? Samrat Chaudhary: I've completed my PFC from Kambradge University,I have Haffidafit on it Jorno: I'm asking about yr 10th certificate Samrat: I'm nt here for this This is the new CM of Bihar whose degree is Fake too Haffidvait & Kambrage 😂😂

@Roshanjnu @naalmot It’s strange that workers not seen primarily as an economic force. The more we invest in them - education, health, well being - the more they can deliver. Instead there is a widespread tendency to squeeze those who have limited livelihood options.

₹20k per month is what a lot of Noida factory workers seem to be asking for a monthly wage. How much does a factory worker earn in India? We looked at the government’s numbers. cc @naalmot

#PuneRFD On the left bank - riparian ecology, habitat for birds, pollinators, small fauna. Nature's services like carbon sequestration, lower temperature, natural cleaning of river. On the right bank - CONCRETE! Higher temperature, no shade, and in future a Chowpatty with amusement parks and food stalls. The river in between remains a filthy gutter And to think some people are showcasing the right bank with pride! 🙄

Nothing happens faster in this country than cutting down large trees

This day, three years ago, 5000punekars walked together with their families and friends to oppose the three mindless infra projects set to destroy #VetalTekdi permanently. Their demands were simple- - *declare #Tekdi as Natural Heritage Site* - *declare it as ‘No Development/No Construction Zone’* - *scrap the projects from Pune’s #DevelopmentPlan.* The projects, I repeat, are 1. Balbharti-PaudPhata partially elevated road 2. High Capacity Mass Transit Route (an elevated internal highway across the dense city) 3. twin tunnels (sutardara-Gokhalenagar-Panchvati). Since then, Supreme Court has validated the environmental importance of #VetalTekdi and brought the #BBPP rd project under mandatory #EIA; #HCMTR had already been brought under mandatory #EIA in 2020. We have also made several representations to Pune Forest Division to declare the portion of tekdi as ‘Deemed Forest’ as per SC orders of 2025. #VetalTekdi holds one of the five most important urban aquifers system that feeds the groundwater table of the city. Rich in biodiversity it is an essential environmental legacy that Pune must preserve and protect at all cost. @VTBKS_Pune @PMCPune @MAHA_UDD @CMOMaharashtra @AUThackeray @mohol_murlidhar

India wont be able to do this. As IAS officers will first get the trees cut and sell the woods to timber mafia. Then their fovourite thekedar will make concrete box and then rahul kaushik will start singing stuti of development work.

Dear Italy, Your PM just defended Pope and lost an ally in Washington — the Commander in Grief, yet the most 'powerfool'man on earth. We'd like to apply for the vacancy. Our qualifications: 7,000 years of civilization, a shared love of poetry, architecture, and food that takes longer to prepare than Trump's attention span. The only thing Iran and Italy have ever fought over is who invented ice cream. Faloodeh came first. Gelato came louder. We've been in a 'cold' war over this for 2,000 years.

Autorickshaws in the Indian capital carrying the image of one of the world’s most infamous war criminals, responsible for unspeakable suffering across the world, is a matter of deep shame for all Indians.

The Noida workers unrest isn’t an anomaly—it’s a mirror. We’ll bargain with a sabziwala down to his last rupee but swipe ₹10,000 for an outfit at a fancy store without blinking. We’ll wedge our SUV into a cramped lane to dodge a parking fee, hand our domestic help a box of stale mithai and call it generosity. Expect employees to work extra hours without compensation because companies think they have done a huge favour by employing them. Dignity is not something that belongs to the privileged. It belongs to all.

you have to be severely out of touch to think this is ‘naxalism’. she’s saying something most economists know: incomes have simply not caught on with the relentless cost of living in big cities

Point out flaws in any thoughtless decisions taken by the government and sanghis start wishing sexual assault on women. Each one of them is a potential rapist.

The RW thinks #PrannoyRoy is a pitiable figure in this photo🤦🏽‍♀️That's because of their ignorant view that ground reporting is the work of juniors, and that anchors are bosses🤦🏽‍♀️"At this age" or any other age, true-blue journalists never want to stop going out into the field.

Omar Abdullah carefully skirted a trap. Had he cut that tricolour ribbon, he would have been in tons of trouble. The organisers tried to pull a fast one on him.

It's extremely important to realise that you were beautiful before someone noticed and you'll remain beautiful in their absence. Your beauty is not subjected to who values you for it.
