Samarth and his family must face the strictest punishment under the law. Families who torture and abuse daughters-in-law should receive a strong and unmistakable message that such cruelty will not be tolerated. If justice fails, it raises serious questions about whose side the system truly stands on.

An elephant does not get butchered, its trunk chopped off, its body left mutilated in a protected forest area by “poachers alone.” Who enables this network? Who looks away? Who profits from wildlife trade? Who failed surveillance, patrol and intelligence? Until accountability reaches beyond the men holding the weapons, these killings will continue under the shadow of authority and silence. Assam deserves answers. The forests deserve justice.

@Gurudev Janmadin Subhechha Guruji! Wishing you happiness, good health, love, and gratitude always.

The emergency cylinder leak helpline turned out to be a complete fraud. We tried reaching out on two separate occasions during emergencies and received absolutely no help. Who is accountable for this? Who listens when public safety is at risk? Gas leaks are serious and potentially life-threatening incidents, especially for elderly people, children, and families living alone. A non-responsive emergency system puts lives in danger. There needs to be immediate accountability, proper monitoring, and a reliable response mechanism to ensure people actually receive help when they need it most. #GasSafety #ConsumerSafety #EmergencyHelpline #LPGSafety #PublicSafety #GasLeak #ConsumerRights #India @HPGasIndia @PMOIndia @HMOIndia @MoPNG_eSeva @consaff

Little faith still left in our judiciary. Thank you @DelhiHighCourt @LiveLawIndia

@himantabiswa @narendramodi What is truly shocking and shameful is that people continue to die after falling into open manholes during artificial flooding in our cities. In the state you lead, this is a complete failure of basic urban safety. Where is the accountability?

Shocking and shameful! Mallikarjun Kharge calling Adarniya @narendramodi Ji a “terrorist” reflects the complete collapse of Congress’ standards and respect for public discourse. This is the same mindset that once insulted Bharat Ratna Dr Bhupen Hazarika, a towering icon of our nation. From bringing lasting peace in the North East to strengthening security and stability across India, Modi Ji’s leadership has transformed the nation. Such disgraceful remarks are not just an attack on the Prime Minister, but an insult to every Indian. The nation is watching and it will respond decisively.

India is not, and has never been, a “Hindu Rashtra” in the narrow, exclusionary sense being pushed today. It is a civilisation rooted in dharma—and dharma is not dominance, it is responsibility, compassion, and coexistence. Our own texts say this clearly. In the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira refuses to enter heaven without the dog who stood by him—choosing compassion over reward. That dog is later revealed as Dharma itself. We revere Bhairava with his dog. We speak of sarva bhuta daya—compassion for all living beings. These are not footnotes. They are foundations. Now look at Nepal. A Hindu-majority country where you still see these values lived quietly. During Kukur Tihar, dogs are honoured. Across towns and cities, street animals are fed and co-exist with communities. Spirituality is visible not just in temples, but in everyday conduct—towards animals, towards nature, towards each other. And then look at us. In India, something has gone deeply off course. A loud, performative version of “Hindutva” has replaced lived dharma. Cruelty is normalised, empathy is dismissed, and animals—especially street dogs—are increasingly treated as disposable. Institutions that should anchor balance aren’t helping enough either. The judiciary, including the Supreme Court, has a responsibility to uphold compassion and constitutional morality—but what we often see is inconsistency and a failure to firmly protect the voiceless. At the same time, our civic sense has eroded. When a society loses everyday civics and normalises cruelty, it doesn’t stop at animals—it seeps into how humans treat each other. A culture that is indifferent to suffering becomes a culture capable of greater violence. This is not Hinduism. This is not dharma. This is not who we are meant to be. If we truly care about this country, across all religions and beliefs, we need to return to first principles: empathy, accountability, and coexistence. Not slogans, not fear, not hate—but compassion in action. India doesn’t need reinvention. It needs remembrance. @PMOIndia @narendramodi @myogiadityanath @rashtrapatibhvn @LiveLawIndia @indSupremeCourt @moefcc @SupremeCourtIND @PIB_India @pfaindia @BlueCrossIndiaS @PetaIndia @byadavbjp @FIAPOIndia #saveanimals #rightolive #savestreetanimals

@JahnaviIyer @bitspilaniindia I hope 9 people can come forward to adopt or give each a space where they can thrive. It’s time God is testing everyone. I hope they are rescued.

Animal Welfare Crisis at BITS Pilani, Rajasthan Gate. Shocking and inhumane treatment of community animals at @bitspilaniindia . 9 campus dogs, returning after being taken for sterilization (ABC), have been denied entry back to their homes. The Situation: 1. The van carrying the dogs has been held at the campus gate for over 4 hours. 2. In the rising Rajasthan heat, these animals are being subjected to unnecessary distress and risk of heatstroke. 3. Nagar Palika has rightly refused to dump them in jungles, as doing so is illegal and violates ABC rules. Under the Animal Birth Control (Rules), 2023, it is mandatory that dogs are released back into the exact same areafrom which they were picked up. Denying them entry to their original territory is a direct violation of Central Government guidelines and AWBI mandates. Leaving animals in a van for hours is not management, it is cruelty. We urge the BITS Pilani administration to prioritize ethics and the law. Let the dogs back in immediately. #AnimalCruelty #BITSPilani #AnimalRightsIndia #Rajasthan #AWBI @Manekagandhibjp @petaindia @pfaindia @AnimalShelter @LiveLawIndia @priyankac19 @RajCMO @PMOIndia @domdyer70 @UNHumanRights @dilthi_gujarati @SpotzHaroon @pricatttt @pawsunmute

Yes—they should absolutely be relocated to a safe, well-equipped shelter where they can live out their remaining years with dignity and care. But this needed to be done in a humane and transparent manner. The issue has never been about keeping dogs at the airport. The real question is: where are those senior dogs now? If they were removed, where have they been taken? Are they safe—or have they died? This is the accountability being avoided. Once their whereabouts are clearly known, there are enough adopters and rescuers willing to step in. No one wants them left at the airport—but they do deserve to be safe, traceable, and protected specially when they were loved and cared for 14 years.

@SubrataPandey @DrAshleySuri You can ask Dogs to be sent to a Good shelter. That is reasonable Bit people asking them to live at Airport makes no sense. Do other Civilised society keeps Dog at Airport. How even that makes any logic.

I cannot speak for others, but those who are organised—who work with unity rather than ego or personal pride—will choose logic over anger. What saddens me is that, on the ground, no one has even been able to register an FIR in the case of Kaddu and Brownie. That says something important: this fight is not truly united. In matters involving community dogs, the approach has to be collective, calm, and focused—driven by logic and a single goal: a real solution. Right now, we are divided. On one side are those who want these voiceless beings erased from their sight; on the other are those who believe they deserve to live with dignity. If this isn’t a living example of hell and heaven coexisting on the same earth, what is?

@SubrataPandey @AKLKO1977 @twiterManish_ @DrAshleySuri You are different and talks logically but do you think that all “So called” dog lovers are same? Every one of us care every life (Humans or animals) but most of the dog lovers are just ready to fight. Your opinion please

Essays you are writing, those concerned working towards it in real life. Tell me one thing you did towards this cause in real life than writing here ? Which is constructive towards a solution? Well this also will look an attack to you. Anyway arguing with you doesn’t solve this problem.

@SubrataPandey @twiterManish_ @DrAshleySuri Anyone who has a different point of view isn’t hatred. So don’t gaslight. As per WHO India is the epicentre of rabies thanks to stray dogs. You have built shelters, great, but so far it isn’t working. There are literal humans / kids dying and folks here are writing essays.

What makes you assume we don’t support shelters? As responsible citizens, many of us actively empower shelters wherever we live. I personally contribute in every way I can. I’ve seen people from all walks of life step up—even a school van driver donating 4,500 sq ft of land to build a shelter. This is not an elitist issue. It’s a human one. And thankfully, there are still many who understand that and do their part with whatever means they have. No one is depending on your validation. But when the perspective itself lacks empathy and a humane approach, it becomes part of the problem—not the solution. A mindset driven by one-sided hatred toward any species doesn’t solve anything—it only deepens conflict. Even our own traditions teach us this. In the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira refuses to enter heaven without the dog who stayed loyal to him—because compassion defines righteousness. And Kaal Bhairav, a powerful form of Shiva, is accompanied by a dog—symbolising protection and balance. The message has always been clear: coexistence, not exclusion. I genuinely hope you choose understanding over prejudice.

@SubrataPandey @twiterManish_ @DrAshleySuri Create shelters why depend on me to do that. Dog lovers have shown themselves to be too rigid and blind to the enormous public health and civic problem they have created. I grew up with dogs. I know a thing or two about the animals but also their dangerous pack behaviour.

Those who care for street animals and the voiceless are not “over-emotional”—they are the ones who’ve accessed a part of the human heart that many sadly never will. I’ve been chased, bitten—even by pet dogs. But that never stopped me from rescuing or supporting shelters. Because once you truly see their reality—denied space, food, safety—you respond with responsibility, not hate. The problem is not street animals. The problem is absence of policy, accountability, transparency, and civic sense. NGOs struggle. Shelters are few. Systems are broken. And yet, the easiest solution people suggest is—“remove them.” If you truly want change, then contribute to solutions: support sterilisation, shelters, adoption, humane management. Elimination is not a solution. It is the beginning of a catastrophe. Today you say remove dogs. Tomorrow cows, cats, bulls. And one day—you turn on each other. A society that solves problems by erasing life destroys itself. Coexistence is survival. @DeptOfAHDF @AWBI_India @MoHUA_India @PMOIndia @moefcc #Kaddu #Brownie #AnimalWelfare #Coexistence #BeTheChange

Stray Dog Crisis — Reality or Media-Created Fear? 🐕⚖️ India is being told there’s a “stray dog menace.” But is it the full truth… or a fear narrative being amplified? 📊 Reality check: • Studies show 82% of human–street dog interactions are neutral or peaceful • Only ~2% involve aggression Yet what goes viral? 👉 Bite videos 👉 Attack headlines 👉 Fear-driven debates Yes, attacks DO happen — and every life matters. But here’s what often gets ignored 👇 ⚠️ The real crisis is governance failure, not dogs: • Poor implementation of Animal Birth Control (ABC) rules • Lack of sterilisation & vaccination programs • Garbage mismanagement feeding population growth • Zero accountability of authorities Even courts have flagged rising incidents due to poor enforcement, not just presence of dogs 🧠 And here’s the uncomfortable truth: Fear sells. Media amplifies extreme cases, shaping perception — not always reality. 🎙️ Watch my exclusive podcast exposing: • Administrative failures • Media narratives vs ground reality • Real solutions for humane & safe coexistence 👉 youtu.be/7YYRGdJWgrY?si… India doesn’t have a dog problem. It has a policy, accountability & compassion problem. #thedogmother #animalwelfare #straydogs #podcast #India

@abhishekpa11923 @PraveenDixit__ I am glad you did.

@SubrataPandey @PraveenDixit__ I got my answer, Thanks !! Feel sorry for u. Carry on.

Never let anyone ruin your public place

Why adopt alone? Why not have shelter homes where adoption is made easier and transparent. Where volunteers can feed and look after? Why you cannot think holistic where both can benefit? Why this one sided perspective? Why you are so cold to animals. Hope your heart can have room for acceptance and empathy towards the voiceless

@SubrataPandey @twiterManish_ @DrAshleySuri No dog should be living on the streets. It’s painful for the animals and for the humans who run a risk of getting bitten or worse getting rabies. Adopt all these dogs. Also SC has asked for these strays to be removed from places like these.

@AKLKO1977 @twiterManish_ @DrAshleySuri We’ve always done our part—either cared for them where they were or ensured they went to shelters. No one imagined that the very place they lived safely for 14 years would remove them so mercilessly. Had there been any transparency, many were ready to adopt.

@SubrataPandey @twiterManish_ @DrAshleySuri You could have taken the dogs home if you loved them so much. Khule mein airport pe chodd diya bechare kutton ko.

@Mayank_0z @PraveenDixit__ So problem lies where ? In removing dogs - is a solution ? Or sheltering them safe is a solution?

@SubrataPandey @PraveenDixit__ U know if that dog bites any kid , that kid will not tell (most probably ) their parents about it bcz they r scared about injection, and then rabies and death

@jm_desai @DrAshleySuri Yes I take home compassion and values. I am blessed with it everyday of my life. You surely don’t need in this life and the rest.

@SubrataPandey @DrAshleySuri Take your compassion home. we don't need.
