Sri Ram - Reflections on Ram Naumi Ram Naumi marks the birth of Sri Ram, one of the most revered figures in Indian civilization not merely worshipped as a deity, but remembered as Maryada Purushottam, the embodiment of righteous conduct, discipline, and moral balance. According to the ancient epic Ramayana, composed by Valmiki, Sri Ram was born in Ayodhya to King Dasharatha and Queen Kaushalya during the Treta Yuga. The greatness of Sri Ram lies not in miracles, but in restraint. He accepted exile without resentment. He chose duty over comfort. He ruled power without ego. For fourteen years, Ram walked forests as a seeker rather than a king, accompanied by Sita and his devoted brother Lakshman. His journey was not only geographical but spiritual - a movement from privilege to humility, from authority to service. The battle against Ravan, the learned yet ego-driven ruler of Lanka, represents one of the deepest philosophical teachings of Indic thought: evil is not ignorance alone; it is knowledge without humility. Historically, the story of Ram transcended religion and geography. From the Sanskrit Ramayana emerged countless regional traditions - Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas in Awadhi, Kamban’s Tamil Ramayana, Southeast Asian adaptations in Thailand, Indonesia, and Cambodia - proving that Ram became a civilizational ideal rather than a single narrative.

The entire political parties were scared of this man. This is Tirunellai Seshan, Election Commissioner of India (1990-1996). - He was ruthless and did not care who stood in front of him. - He enforced the Model Code of Conduct so hard that it shook the entire political system. - Banned ministers from using official cars, staff, and government offices for campaigning. - Sent strict notices to chief ministers and cabinet ministers to follow rules. - No illegal posters or hoardings. - If booth capturing happened, he ordered re-elections. - Put strict limits on election spending. - If a candidate used money or power, he cancelled the election overnight. Politicians openly criticized him, but couldn’t stop him. Political parties protested, calling him “dictatorial.” In 1994, he even told Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao to remove two ministers for influencing voters. For the first time, politicians were scared.

A. Rishi Kumar, a final-year student of Tamil Nadu National Law University (TNNLU), did not bow to pressure from the University to delete the article, titled “The Supreme Court of India has no Spine”. Here he criticised the Supreme Court’s ban on a Class 8 NCERT civics textbook and its decision to blacklist its authors for their mention of judicial corruption. He wrote "The Court has decided, in its grand old wisdom, that eighth graders, who are doing algebra and learning refractions, are simply too dumb to handle a basic civics chapter that spends fourteen pages praising the judiciary and two paragraphs acknowledging its flaws." My respect to Rishi. You are awesome! Anyone want to read the article, ask me in comments - I shall provide you the link.

A final-year law student, Rishi Kumar from Tamil Nadu National Law University, refuses to delete his blog criticising the Supreme Court… despite pressure from his own university. Why? Because the administration allegedly received calls from advocates, judges, and others claiming the post harms the institution’s “reputation.” The blog titled “The Supreme Court of India Has No Spine” questioned the court’s decision to ban an NCERT textbook chapter on judicial corruption. But here’s the real issue: A law student is being told to silence himself… for expressing a legal opinion. His response? Clear and powerful: “My opinions are mine… you do not own my voice or my conscience.” He even said he’s ready to face disciplinary action rather than back down. This isn’t just about one blog. This is about academic freedom vs institutional pressure. If law students… the future of the judiciary are discouraged from questioning the system, then who exactly is allowed to question it? Criticism of institutions ≠ disrespect. Silencing criticism = weakening democracy.

23 Mar 1931 … On this day 95 years ago, Shaheed e Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev Thapar and Shivaram Rajguru, the legendary Indian freedom fighters were executed in Lahore jail. Salute their supreme sacrifice for the motherland 🫡 Jai Hind 🇮🇳

“I am your MLA, don’t teach me.” Exactly the problem. Public representatives are not rulers, they are accountable servants of the people. When a citizen asks about 10 years of missing development, the answer should be work… not arrogance. Rama Kanta Deori this attitude is why trust in politics keeps falling.

🚨 Meet Ranjan Gogoi, who served as the 46th Chief Justice of India from 2018 to 2019 and as a Member of the Rajya Sabha from 2020 to 2026. Let’s take a look at his tenure as a Rajya Sabha MP, what did he do during this period? A thread 🧵

This is Durga Bhabhi, whose real name was Durgavati Devi—a revolutionary woman so deeply respected by Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Chandrashekhar Azad that they lovingly called her “Bhabhi”. After the assassination of Saunders, when the entire British Empire was hunting for Bhagat Singh and Rajguru, it was Durga Bhabhi who showed extraordinary courage. Disguising Bhagat Singh as her “husband” and Rajguru as her “servant,” she fearlessly walked past British checkpoints with a child in her arms and safely escorted them from Lahore to Calcutta. That single act of bravery fooled an entire empire and immortalized her in history. It is said that the Mauser pistol used by Chandrashekhar Azad in his final moments was also given to him by Durga Bhabhi. Even after the martyrdom of her revolutionary husband, Bhagwati Charan Vohra, she never stepped back from the path of freedom. On 14 October 1999, she left the world silently, unknown to many—yet her sacrifices had strengthened India’s fight for independence. To such a fearless warrior, we offer our deepest salute. #DurgaBhabhi #DurgavatiDevi #BhagatSingh #IndianFreedomStruggle #UnsungHeroes #RevolutionariesOfIndia #IndianHistory #WomenOfCourage #SheroesOfIndia #Tribute #IndianRevolutionaries #RealHeroes #HistoryThatInspires

Sacks of burnt currency notes were found at the residence of a Delhi High Court judge. It has been a year. The judge is still serving as a High Court judge in Allahabad. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court imposed a lifetime ban on the academics who wrote a chapter on corruption in the Indian judiciary. “The clapping should not stop.”👏👏

13 people have died and 11 are critical in NDA ruled Andhra Pradesh after drinking contaminated milk. If Water in Indore doesn’t get you, Milk in Andhra Pradesh will. No accountability, No Questions, No value of life.

#HappyWomensDay ‘So why call her bad? From her kings are born’ - Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Ang 473 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji 🙏 … this was said more than 500 years ago.

Jai Hind 🇮🇳

For centuries, Sikh women have been doing incredible things — way before the world started talking about “women empowerment.” 💪✨ Back in the 1500s, Bibi Bhag Bhari was guiding the Sikh community in Kashmir — not just spiritually but also helping run things administratively. That’s serious leadership for that time. The Sikh tradition of langar (free community kitchen) started over 500 years ago, and Mata Khivi, the wife of Guru Angad Dev, played a huge role in organizing and expanding it. She helped run a kitchen where anyone could eat — no caste, no status, no discrimination. 🍲 Then came Sada Kaur (1762–1832), one of the most powerful leaders in Sikh history. She ruled the Kanhaiya Misl and commanded around 8,000 cavalry soldiers who were fiercely loyal to her. Total boss energy. ⚔️ And of course Maharani Jind Kaur, wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. When her son Duleep Singh became king at just five years old, she stepped in as regent and effectively governed the Sikh Empire. 👑 And that legacy kept going. Later we saw icons like Amrita Pritam, one of the greatest poets of Punjab, and Amrita Sher-Gil, one of India’s most celebrated artists. 🎨📚 So yeah… Sikh women have been crushing it for centuries. This International Women’s Day, big respect to all Sikh women ❤️💪

This is Roopa Moudgil, the fearless IPS officer who once arrested a sitting chief minister. - Born in Karnataka. - Cracked UPSC with All India Rank 43 in her very first attempt and joined the IPS in 2000. - In 2007, she arrested the sitting Chief Minister of MP, Uma Bharti, and shocked the entire political system. - In 2008, she arrested ex-minister Yavagal and suspended her own subordinate DSP. - As DCP in Bengaluru, she boldly withdrew 216 unauthorized police orderlies assigned to 81 politicians to end VIP culture. - In 2013, she became the first woman officer to head Karnataka's Cyber Crime Division. In her first 20 years of service, she faced defamation cases, political pressure, and threats. She was transferred 43 times in an attempt to harass and break her spirit, but she never bowed down. Women's Day Special.

22 years Jacob bethell deserves a standing ovation. What an inning. You played like a warrior. #INDvsENG

Abhishek Sharma refuse to use his brain 😏 - Before the wicket, England changed the field. - Sanju Samson walked up to Abhishek and clearly told him to slow it down. - Field was set for the big shot. - Off-spinner in the attack (he got out for 5 times in this WC) - Instead of recalibrating, Abhishek went aerial again. - And he gave Simple catch. Game awareness…. ZERO!

Indian footballer #BrandMeitei from Manipur Sweety Devi Ngangom appealing people of Indian origin in Australia to watch their World Cup qualifier. Such a pity state of football.

Not a single voice raised against this filth? x.com/Deepak_kumar06… This isn’t just garbage, it’s a public health disaster waiting to explode. This footage is from Siwan, Bihar. The local MLA is BJP leader Mangal Pandey. And here’s the irony… he is the Health Minister of Bihar. Insane Man!

On his Jayanti, Kshatriya Parishad pays heartfelt tribute to Jaspal Bhatti, the legendary humorist and social critic from a Sikh Rajput family from Punjab, who gave India laughter with purpose. Through Ulta Pulta, Flop Show, and his fearless satire, he exposed corruption and championed the common man’s struggles with wit and courage. An engineer, cartoonist, filmmaker, and social activist, he used humor as a powerful tool for reform.. He was posthumously honoured with the Padma Bhushan,

The entire garbage crisis in this country can be solved with just one initiative. Every Sunday, a few volunteers collect garbage from different areas & dump it in front of minister’s house. This must be done every Sunday in every city. The issue will be fixed within a month!

When the Government of India announced the Padma Shri for Dr. Tapan Kumar Lahiri, the protocol required him to travel to Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi to receive the honor from the President. ​However, Dr. Lahiri was hesitant to go. His reasoning was simple: "If I go to Delhi, who will look after my patients in the OPD?" For him, a day away from the hospital wasn't a holiday; it was a day his patients—many of whom traveled from Bihar and rural UP—would go untreated. Finally he did go given the prestige associated with the event. Who is Dr Tapan Lahiri? Dr. Tapan Kumar Lahiri is a legendary Indian cardiothoracic surgeon and professor commonly referred to as the "Saint of BHU". Dr. Lahiri has done FRCS and MCh and working in BHU. ​Dr. Lahiri’s commitment to the poor is extraordinary. In 1994, when his salary (including allowances) exceeded ₹1 lakh, he stopped taking it entirely, directing the university to use the funds for the treatment of underprivileged patients. After retiring in 2003, he continued this practice with his pension. He keeps only enough to cover two simple meals a day and donates the remainder to the BHU patient fund. Even in his 80s, he has been known to walk to the hospital at 6:00 AM daily, carrying a simple bag and a black umbrella, to check on his patients. As he says ​"With the grace of Lord Vishwanath and Maa Annapurna, I will keep serving patients till my last breath."
