PRE-ORDER NOW: amzn.in/d/08W8phvx ✨📚 The People’s Republic of China has engaged in military coercion or grey-zone wars with several major powers and neighbours since 1949. Portraying itself always as the victim of aggression, it holds adversaries responsible for provoking conflict by trampling on China’s national security and, thus, compelling it to retaliate in self defence. Its ability to achieve political objectives even with more powerful adversaries while absolving itself of blame and justifying the use of force, makes it formidable to deal with. China’s Wars by @VGokhale59 explores the complex factors that shape China’s decisions to deploy force by delving into its politics, diplomacy and military thinking, as well as the tools that it uses to craft favourable narratives, through specific case-studies from the 1950s till current times. It is intended to uncover the politics and diplomacy behind China’s coercive behaviour and to identify possible patterns in their decision-making process that might be useful to practitioners, strategists or researchers who study why and when China might, in the future, engage in military coercion or conflict. #chinapolitics #historybooks #nonfictionbooks #geopolitics #vijaygokhale #indochina #asianhistory #chinaswars

Her name is Anju Devi. She is the mother of Atul Subhash. After her son died on December 9 2024 she had one request. Let me see my grandson. His name is Vyom Modi. He is 5 years old. She went to the Supreme Court. The court told her she was a stranger to the child. She had last met her grandson when he was 2.5 years old. Nikita Singhania had kept the child’s location hidden for weeks after Atul’s death. The child was found in a boarding school in Faridabad Haryana. The Supreme Court gave custody to Nikita. The criminal case against Nikita has been adjourned to November 2026. Anju Devi’s son is gone. Her grandson is with the woman accused of abetting his death. She has no legal right to demand visitation. In India grandparents have zero legal right to meet their grandchildren. No law. No provision. No recourse. India has laws for everything. It has nothing for a grandmother’s grief.

Update on my previous post: I ordered a ₹3 Lakh RTX 5090 on @AmazonIN and got a 1.56kg packet of detergent. Amazon promised a refund to kill the social media buzz, but they're just stalling. Now, I've uncovered a massive internal FBA fraud ring. Thread @AmazonHelp @AmitAgarwal

I want to clarify something about this article @apar1984 and I wrote: An infrastructure for mass censorship is already in place, in India, and the new rules expand it. We're seeing mass censorship of accounts and posts on X, Instagram and Facebook, because of this infrastructure. This infrastructure: 1. Operates with speed: - blocking of posts has to be executed in 3 hours (govt is considering 1 hour), which means there's no scope for challenging them. This is the shortest takedown timeline in the world. Every order is an emergency order. - When platforms get 100 at a time, which happens, they act first, think never, and censor always. Impact: If someone was censored and can't understand why, this is why. No one has time to think. 2. Scale...Scope has expanded uncontested: - The reasons for which speech and posts can be taken down keeps expanding. New rules expand government powers to tweets like this one. - News websites and platforms are covered under IT Rules (illegally) - Streaming platforms are covered under the IT Rules (illegally) Impact: more types of speech is already being censored...satire, journalism, or political criticism 3. Operates without challenge, in two ways: - When you get 160 takedown orders a day (as X disclosed to a court) how many will you challenge? - Platforms don't want to react because they can lose market access in India. They're faced with unrelenting pressure from regulators, and basically choosing which hill to die on. Us being censored is not their problem. - Rules are changing frequently: 7 amendments to IT Rules since Feb 2021. By the time courts nullify one rule (and they don't always do this), new rules come up. How often will people go to court? 4. Ordering takedowns has been decentralised: - The (illegal) Sahyog portal, which is used for takedowns, is a hotline from government bodies to platforms. Thirty-three states, seven central agencies, and seventy-two companies are onboarded. 5. There is no transparency hence no accountability: - Users receive no notice. censorship orders are not provided on request. - blocking orders and the meetings of the committee that reviews them are protected by secrecy. - RTI's are not responded to. - Consultation responses are not public. 6. Government is seeking personal data of social media users using Sections 70B, 69 and 75 of the IT Act. This will lead to self censorship. 7. Lawmaking process has collapsed: - The new IT Rules consultations have a 15 day deadline. - Implementation timeline for the last one was 10 days. - Rules are being made where there used to be laws government by Parliament. The new rules mirror provisions from the Broadcast Bill which was withdrawn in 2024. Parliament is being bypassed. As we wrote: when the IT Secretary reportedly says that platforms should have started preparing to implement based on consultation drafts, it appears that outcomes are predetermined. Consultations appear to be a farce. MEITY, DoT and MIB are not accountable to anyone but the government for rules that are not in line with laws, and go against a key free speech verdict we got in 2015. That's why this is an infrastructure for censorship. It is in place, it is operational, and it is expanding. This is not just about the new rules. This is why we're sounding the alarm about: people need to know what is going on, and the Supreme Court needs to take this up. They are the court of last resort, meant to preserve constitutionality. P.s: Please keep a copy of this tweet, in case it gets censored. Or just tweet it and tag us... how many will they censor?

"Why are we being charged like a controlled expressway when the experience is like an intra city road?" Absolutely!

Good catch! This is just like "Kissan Fresh" tomato ketchup.

India’s economic news is worrying. Youth unemployment is very high: 15.6%. Unemployment among young graduates is even higher. GDP growth is mostly going to the rich. The rupee is falling. Such things happen when politics replaces policy. Sad for a country with so much potential.

India bows before USA, India bows before China... will India become a hunchback with all this bowing?

😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When unemployment rises, we discover two kinds of politicians—those who call policymakers to develop new policies, & those who call statisticians to develop new statistics.

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.

Farmers loan waivers in past 35 years: Rs 3 lakh crore Bank loan write-offs for corporates in a decade: Rs 16.35 lakh crore (FY 2014-15 to FY 2023-24) Have you ever seen a detailed analysis of those write-offs like this in any paper? But farmers, yes, what a hazard for banks.

Long before the media called her a real-life Mardaani, Mallika Banerjee was wrestling with a discomfort that wouldn’t let her sleep. As a young IPS officer posted in Chhattisgarh, she kept seeing the same pattern: children reported missing, FIRs filed, families waiting in hope. Months passed. Files were marked “closed.” But the pain in those homes stayed open. What unsettled her wasn’t only the rising count. It was the quiet acceptance around it — as if disappearance had become routine. She began to read between the lines others ignored. These children hadn’t simply gone missing. They had been siphoned into a trafficking web that wore the mask of opportunity — placement agencies, job offers, promises of city life in places like Delhi. So Mallika chose a route few officers would dare. In 2016, she stepped out of uniform and into disguise. Posing as a door-to-door saleswoman, she visited villages selling cosmetics, offering oil head massages, and, most importantly, listening. Inside homes and courtyards, conversations flowed more freely than they ever would before a police officer. Names surfaced. Doubts turned into clues. Old cases began to whisper again. What followed wasn’t dramatic. It was patient, relentless work — reopening forgotten FIRs, connecting scattered leads, coordinating across state lines. Bit by bit, the network started to unravel. Her team rescued over 20 trafficked children and exposed 25 illegal placement agencies operating quietly in plain sight. Each rescue wasn’t just a statistic. It was a child stepping back into their own life. Groups like Shakti Vahini have long warned how trafficking in India hides behind normalcy — how it thrives not through visible violence but through everyday deception. Mallika encountered that reality firsthand and walked straight into it. She didn’t chase headlines. She confronted a system that had grown used to looking away. No spotlight. No applause. Just a firm belief that real policing means going close enough to understand where the hurt truly lies. Mallika Banerjee’s story isn’t about sudden heroics. It’s about the steady courage to care when indifference would be easier — and the conviction that missing children deserve more than closed files. #ChildSafety #AntiTrafficking #WomenInUniform #Mardaani

Perfect opportunistic advertising.😂
