India’s diplomatic retaliation to #pahalgamattack

The Congress Govt in #Telangana has come under heavy criticism from all stakeholders with regard to destruction of #KanchaGachibowli land. Even those working in the system are against the move. This video of what I call- ‘call for help’ will leave you worried.

A appreciation tweet for @IndiGo6E flight 482 from hyd-Tirupati. My MIL fell sick enroute, the crew led by Priyanka were so helpful. Ground staff were ready to assist as soon as we landed. A big 🙏🏼 to the @CISFAirport lady officer and the airport medical team for swift action.

The death of GN Saibaba is not just a tragedy; it is an institutional murder executed with impunity, facilitated by a system designed to crush dissent. For close to a decade that the Indian state held him in inhumane conditions, knowing full well the impact it would have on his health, all while cloaking its cruelty behind the veil of legality and the UAPA—a law that masquerades as national security but functions as a weapon of repression. “Bombay's High Court granted Saibaba bail on medical grounds 14 months after his May 2014 arrest. (He was taken to hospital 27 times during this period, and his left hand became paralyzed.”

:( deep respect for the man and his leadership.

A video listing names of Palestinians killed in Gaza is 59 minutes long. It takes over a minute to get through “0 years old.” This is genocide.

The great A.G. Noorani is no more. His caregiver says he died this afternoon in Bombay. Ghafoor, as his friends called him—and I am proud to have been among their ranks—had been ailing for some time but was still working furiously on a book he had hoped to complete, on the Supreme Court's atrocious Babri Masjid judgment. With his death, India has lost one of its finest legal scholars, historians, political analysts and human rights defenders—all wrapped in one. He was a walking encyclopaedia of India's diplomatic history, the Jammu and Kashmir question, the Indian constitution and a lot more. His books on Kashmir, India-China relations, Hyderabad, fundamental rights, the Babri Masjid and Hindutva have achieved classic status—each and every one of them. He was a relentless seeker of (unclassified but hard to find) official documents, and of great food. I had the good fortune to accompany him more than once on wild goose-esque chases of a gola kebab maker or a qorma in Old Delhi. Noorani was a creature of habit, of firm likes and dislikes. At the IIC, he had to have Room 38, nowhere else. If he was meeting you for lunch, he would not allow a third person to accompany you or even hover around the table for a second. He had a low tolerance level for any kind of bad behaviour, impertinence or impropriety and once someone crossed that Rubicon they would remain banished from his life forever. I know a few veteran journalists or scholars whom Ghafoor cast aside and even interceded on behalf of one of them once, to no effect. Kashmir held a special place in his heart. As a lawyer, he defended Sheikh Abdullah and as a writer and constitutionalist, he did his best to make the case for an honourable and just solution to the Kashmir problem. In any other country, a scholar and jurist like Noorani would have been considered a revered national treasure, his brilliant columns sought after. But in India, his sharp tongue and sharper pen – deployed with impeccable if old fashioned prose – made him many enemies on all sides (and especially 'the establishment', whatever the party in power) and in the end he was largely confined to Frontline in India and Dawn in Pakistan (excellent publications, both) till ill health two years ago forced him to devote all his energies to the books he wanted to write. He was 94 and we'd hoped for 100. We will miss you dearly, Ghafoor bhai.

The unpublished report about sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the Telugu film and television industries In 2019, the Telangana government formed a high-level committee following Tollywood's shortlived #MeToo movement, demands for inquiry and a PIL in the High Court. The committee included the city's police commissioners, labour, women, and child department officials, representatives of the film and television industry, members of civil society, and others. A subcommittee (formed by the high-level committee) started looking into sexual harassment, the factors that contribute to an exploitative working environment, and gender equality in film and television industries. The latter included both entertainment and news channels. The subcommittee report was intended to help the government implement measures to create a safe work environment for women and gender minorities in these industries. Between 2019 and 2022, the subcommittee met over 20 times. They met around 15 of the 24 crafts councils, which included the junior artists, dancers, makeup artists, and drivers, to understand the work conditions, presence of the ICCs, and reported cases of sexual harassment, nonpayment of wages, etc. The committee looked into work contracts (and lack thereof), received depositions from women who worked in news channels, and interviewed several production houses about the existing mechanisms. It also met with the producer's council, the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, studio owners, and representatives of television news channels to understand the chain of accountability. The subcommittee submitted the report over two years ago, in June 2022. The then-BRS government shelved it. Since Congress came to power in December 2023, members of civil society have reportedly made multiple requests to make the report public without much success. The Telangana government should make the committee's findings and recommendations public so that there is some discussion and follow-up. @TelanganaCMO @revanth_anumula @Bhatti_Mallu @seethakkaMLA
