Every govt goes through a phase, particularly in the early days of power where it listens and is responsive to the populace. But soon arrogance creeps in particularly after election victories, and hangers on insert themselves between the govt and the populace.

The White House saw Shehbaz's ceasefire text that says #Lebanon is part of the deal. He can't do it on his own. FT reports trump was pushing the Pakistanis to sell his ceasefire to Iran. #Iran won't buy assurances from #Pakistan (which is an American ally). That's why Ishaq Dar went to Beijing on March 31. Iranian officials say, per NYT, China pressed Tehran to accept the ceasefire (We don't know what did they offer in return). So Pakistan's job was to present the American proposal to Iran and get China to nudge Tehran to accept the deal so that trump can get out of the mess he has put himself in. Iran accepted the deal based on the 10-point proposal--which clearly says ceasefire on all fronts, control over Hormuz and it has the right to enrich. But for ceasefire to take hold in Lebanon, netanyahu should stop his killing machine. he accelerated it instead--because he, angry with the deal, saw an opportunity to torpedo it. So twelve hours later, the White House, unable to rein him in, says Lebanon is not part of the deal, throwing Shehbaz under the bus. Iran tightens the grip on Hormuz. That's where we are standing now. There is no largescale American-Israeli attack on Iran or Iranian retaliation, but the Strait remains closed; Lebanon is being pounded; US says the 10 points it agreed to are different; Tehran says ceasefire at this point is "unreasonable" (but it hasn't quit it).

Remember Punya Prasun Bajpai whispering to Arvind Kejriwal, “Bahut Krantikari!” after the latter ordered the former how to edit his interview in 2014? Kejrwal learnt the ropes from Bengal. I tell my friends in Delhi-NCR, “What you found exciting and revolutionary about AAP in the early 2010s, we have been exposed to such antics since our childhood in Bengal.” In Uttar Pradesh, the Akhilesh Yadav government’s Yash Bharti Awards & Pensions, with 200 journalists receiving the award without a formal application or selection process, was inspired by similar practices in Bengal. While patronage from the Left Front government used to be in kind, not cash, Mamata Banerjee has been on record, stating she would direct district magistrates to provide more advertisements to rural newspapers that publish “positive news” about her government. To keep the media in good humour, the TMC government introduced the West Bengal Pension Scheme for Journalists in 2018, providing a monthly pension of ₹2,500 to retired journalists facing financial hardship. In 2019, the Banerjee government announced a scheme to provide ₹10,000 per month for up to two years to journalists who lose their jobs, and compensation of ₹2 lakh in case of accidental death. In 2020, the Durga Pujo bonus for journalists was aimed at keeping reporters compliant during elections. The state government’s rewards for the media are primarily directed towards journalists who present a positive image of the TMC regime, rather than on a meritocratic or purely need-based system.

@Nithin0dha Stock trading platform that wants lower taxes on equities. Now why haven't we heard this before?

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR: Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help. On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead. He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows. If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.

Nepal Prime Minister introduces strict reforms to transform the nation • No photos of political leaders in government offices. • No caste based politics equality for all. • No road blocking for VIP convoys • All Ministers and Goverment employees kids must study in goverment schools • Political party affiliated student groups to be removed from schools and universities within 60 days. • Government introduced a digital transparency platform called Pratipakchya to track the government’s promises and progress. When will India introduce the same laws as Nepal?

@laalsaalan We have seen 75 years of apologizing with zero action taken. Exactly the Congress playbook. Apologize, but do not act.

a country where such an incident doesn't even trigger an apology from the railways minister is a failed state.

Legacy of Congress: Till 2006, India's per capita GDP was less than Pakistan Till 2015, India's per capita GDP was less than sub Saharan Africa Liberals: India would hold its head high in the world during Cong 🤩

🚨FREE & FAIR ELECTIONS IN INDIA🚨 A woman from UP reached Assam to cast her vote on someone else's Voter ID. When confronted by a man, she said my husband Vicky Kumar gave me this ID. The man said, "I am Vicky Kumar, when did I marry you?"

The Harappans created humongous amounts of industrial slag from copper and bronze smelting kilns. And proceeded to dump it in an ancient landform in the Kutch region. 4000 years later, the unusual mineralogy including high temperature mineral phases was interpreted as a meteorite impact by many papers. Now we have a new study that tells us the complete picture.

Another conspiracy exposed... 1. Do you know the real reason for this? 2. Or do you simply seek false solace by abusing Brahmins? What is the truth behind the denial of entry to untouchables into temples? Was this practice performed by priests or was it a conspiracy by the cunning British to loot? The quote cited by Dr. Ambedkar in 1932, while submitting the Lothian Committee report, regarding the denial of entry to untouchables, is the same list that the British compiled of the poor people in India who were unable to pay the tax imposed by the British to enter temples! Conspiracy: In 1808, the East India Company took over the Sri Jagannath Temple in Puri and then began to levy taxes on the people, often in the name of pilgrimage. Four groups of Hindus were formed! A list of the fourth group, the poorest, was released! In 1932, when Dr. Ambedkar wrote about the untouchables, he included the list in the document of the Jagannath Puri Temple in East India as untouchables! The conversion of pilgrimages to the Lord Jagannath Temple into a travel tax resulted in enormous profits for the East India Company, which continued from 1809 to 1840. This resulted in billions of rupees flowing directly into the British treasury and reaching England. Pilgrims were divided into four categories! First Class: Lal Jatri (wealthy travelers from the north) Second Class: Nich Lal (wealthy travelers from the south) Third Class: Bhurang (travelers who could afford two rupees) Fourth Class: Punj Tirtha (the category of the poor who were found without even two rupees after being searched) The names of the fourth class are as follows: 1. Loli or Kusbi! 2. Kulal or Sonari! 3. Fisherman! 4. Namsundar or Chandal 5. Ghoski 6. Gajur 7. Bagri 8. Jogi 9. Kahar 10. Rajbanshi 11. Pirali 12. Chamar 13. Dom 14. Paun 15. Tor 16. Banmali 17. Haddi 10 rupees from the first class! 6 rupees from the second class! 2 rupees from the third class, and nothing from the fourth class! Now here's the list of the poor who were stopped everywhere and were not allowed to enter the temple because they couldn't pay the entry fee. Just like you can't enter the Taj Mahal/Red Fort without entry today... If you could pay 10 rupees at that time, you were treated the best... Dr. Ambedkar mentioned this very list in his Lothian Committee Report and said that the poor remained poor for the last 100 years! Later, those same poor were made untouchable by the British, and later by the Black British Congressmen, as part of a conspiracy! So that Hindu society could be divided and converted through deception...!! Untouchability never fundamentally existed in the Sanatan Dharma of Hindus. If that were true, all Hindus would have separate cremation grounds and pyres. Temples would also have been built according to caste, and the immersion of ashes in Haridwar would also have been done according to caste. This casteism still exists among Christians and Muslims. They have separate churches, mosques, and cemeteries for each caste and sect. Casteism, linguistic chauvinism, regionalism, secularism, dogmatism, sophistry, guruism, and political partisanship have been instilled in Sanatani Hindus by Muslim and British rulers over the past 1000 years, making it easier to rule divided Hindus... No race in the world can rule over united Hindus. The Congress party has exploited this for the past 70 years to make political gains and feed them with its own shoes!

@nxt888 I remember how US TV channels started the 'collatwral damage' farce during the illegal iraq war!!!

Ask an American about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A substantial portion will tell you it was necessary. Tragic, but necessary. It ended the war. It saved lives. Hard choices in impossible circumstances. Now ask them how they would feel if another country had done it to an American city. Watch the framework collapse in real time. Suddenly "necessary" is not a category that applies. Suddenly there are no hard choices and impossible circumstances. Suddenly it is simply: a crime. An act of war. An atrocity. This is not hypocrisy in the ordinary sense. This is a two-tiered moral universe so deeply internalized that most people living inside it cannot see the structure at all. Violence done to Americans is atrocity by definition. Violence done by Americans requires context. Requires understanding. Requires a discussion of the strategic situation. This is the psychological furniture. This is what empire builds inside the people who benefit from it. And it is almost invisible from the inside.

At an IT company in Nashik, 7 team leaders - all from Muslim community - have been found to have criminally targeted several Hindu employees in the company to convert to Islam Victims include at least 8 women and a man.

All arrested The first complaint was filed by parents of a woman who had started wearing burqa and fasting for Ramzan SIT has been constituted

@AdityaRajKaul How can an intelligence agency (assume it is orchestrated by ISPR) be so dumb!?

Imagine the number of Pakistanis who have landed at an airport globally in last 24 hours for pure orchestrated propaganda from Pakistan. No credibility. No honesty. Most of Pakistani population haven’t seen an airport abroad in their life and don’t even have a passport.

The truth is both disturbing and undeniable. The government led by Mamata Banerjee used taxpayers’ money not to secure justice, but to suppress it in the horrific RG Kar rape and murder case. The young intern’s parents, denied dignity and due process, were left with no option but to turn to the people’s court for justice. From the very beginning, the administration’s conduct raised serious questions. Evidence was compromised, the investigation botched, and the victim’s body hurriedly cremated, foreclosing any possibility of a second autopsy. What followed was an equally troubling attempt to frustrate justice in the courts. An official order (Memo No. 1867 dated 06.03.2025) reveals that public funds were used to engage senior advocate Kapil Sibal to represent the state in proceedings related to the case (Writ No. 2/2024 concerning the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital). The payments made from taxpayers’ money are staggering: •20.08.2024 — ₹20 lakh •09.09.2024 — ₹25 lakh •17.09.2024 — ₹20 lakh •15.10.2024 — ₹20 lakh •07.11.2024 — ₹20 lakh Total: ₹1.05 crore over just five days of appearances. Additionally, another bill dated 22.08.2024 amounts to ₹25 lakh. At a time when the conscience of West Bengal was shaken, the state government chose to spend over ₹1.30 crore of public money defending itself, rather than ensuring justice for the victim. The people of West Bengal deserve full disclosure: How much taxpayers’ money has been spent to shield those accused in heinous crimes? How much has been spent on prolonged legal battles to deny rightful DA to state government employees and to stall due processes like SIR? To the people of Bengal: your money was used against your voice. When citizens took to the streets demanding justice, this government chose to fight them instead. The betrayal is not just of the people, it is of a grieving family that continues to seek justice for their daughter.

Hindus should never forget - the Sabarimala PIL filed in 2006 and which ended in 2018 with 4 out of 5 judges of the Constitution Bench of Supreme Court ruling against the tradition followed in Sabarimala Temple by millions of true Devotees - was filed by persons who were not Ayyappa Devotees- Some of them not even Hindus -

GenZ will never realize how lucky Congress was to rule in era of zero media questioning Every day some pothole somewhere in India will go viral In 1980s and early 1990s, entire Mumbai was ruled by Dawood's D-company and mafia Cong never got 1 line of criticism for it In fact, Bollywood glamorized it and made popular culture celebrate mafia rule.

Super awesome job by Ola. In large cylindrical cells like Ola’s latest 46200, a traditional small metal tab for current collection becomes a bottleneck due to high current density & heat generation. Ola’s Bharat Cells use a tabless electrode design. Instead of a single small tab, the entire edge of the electrode foil acts as the current collector. This shortens the electron path, reduces internal resistance, & significantly improves heat dissipation & fast-charging performance. Ola is also running a dual-chemistry strategy in the 46series platform: - NMC chemistry in the 46200 for higher energy density and performance. - LFP chemistry (also in 46200 format) optimized for India’s hot climate & cost-sensitive segments. The larger cell diameter helps LFP overcome its lower energy density by increasing volume, making the more affordable chemistry competitive in real-world range & efficiency.

Rajiv Gandhi embarked on a diplomatic mission to stop the Gulf War. In February 1991, he traveled toward the Iraq-Kuwait border region. He sought to convince Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to withdraw from Kuwait. Despite his efforts to secure a meeting and long standing relations with his family, Saddam Hussein refused to meet with him. Rajiv Gandhi was unable to enter Iraq itself. Lesson is that when Abrahamics are fighting amongst themselves, mushriq/heathen/goyim Hindus are the last ones they would accept as mediators, no matter which party you belong to. It is in their theology and resultant ideology. So, stop being incredibly stupid and sit down.

🇩🇪 8 perpetrators rape a young girl. Verdict: 3 to 6 months on probation.The judge to the victim: Her life would "only turn out differently." The girl has been sitting in a dark room for two years and doesn’t leave it!

@suhasinih Strange way to ignore the reign of terror by Mamatha and the blatant interference by the EC during UPA while declaring oneself a "journalist"

Strange way for an Election Commission to declare itself impartial.
