@Albert_Camuk Is this supposed to be a joke on Wangchuk's hunger strike? Or did you mean something else

Morally corrupt people like Nupur will not say a single word of support for students demanding their basic rights of a corruption free and clean examination system. A renowned activist is about to die, but this is what scum like Nupur care about
Nupur J Sharma@UnSubtleDesi

Saurav Das, a “legal reporter”, took oath on a textbook, written by former member of the law commission, in front of someone dressed like she is about to attend an extremely tacky naach gaana mehfil. Apt.

I think he should end his hunger strike. This govt doesn't respond to Gandhian methods, in fact they actively discard it. The 1.5 year long farmers protest worked because the govt was actively inconvenienced. This govt responds to such methods.

Day 15 of @Wangchuk66’s hunger strike. When will the government wake up????

Madam, read the damn article before harping upon irrefutable facts. What else do you want as a counter? I am quoting the very article he shared. The patient died early in the case; the case could have been simply dismissed. Yet was continued in public interest hence 57 hearings.
Alo Pal@AloPal

What Mr Aggarwal doesn’t tell you is that Mr Ranganathan has stated irrefutable facts, that Mr Aggarwal does not counter, but because he has to suck up to milords and earn, he dare not rebuke them for postponing final hearing 57 times. Don’t work the system Anuj, change it.

@sone_do_mujhe I really can't argue against this absolutely asinine take. You are treating the Delhi metro as your own personal good and if you have a no regards for public decorum mentality then nothing can be really said here. Peace.

@thepolicyhoe Y do I need to go abroad for everything? Who decides whose mentality is good or bad? I dnt care who supports it or not. If I'm tired & feeling discomfort, am definitely seating & will continue to support it. The rule is totally absurd & sans any merit.

Why does Delhi metro prohibits passengers from sitting on floor of coaches? If someone is dead tired/metro is crowded, how can u prevent someone from sitting there? What harm will it cause to anyone if sitting person doesn't cause any obstruction?

@sone_do_mujhe Pls travel outside India and experience the public transport system if you can. This mentality of if no one is getting offended then "why not" is exactly why we don't get visas easily. I'm not in support of converting the Delhi metro into a Mumbai local. Leave the metro alone bud

@thepolicyhoe What decorum? How is sitting on floor less dignified? Who is it offending? No one sits out of their choice. If I'm tired, why wouldn't I sit there? If metro cares so much abt this, then allow only limited people to board a coach at a time..

@sone_do_mujhe Please read the entire judgment. You can't have a right to get your antecedents or an acquittal court order completely deleted from court records. The judgment discusses this aspect also.

@thepolicyhoe I m asking in very diff context. RTBF doesnt take away your antecedents, if any. Anyway, that case directed for de-indexing. Doesnt mean one cant locate the case from court portal!

Dia Mirza was very proud of her eco-consciousness. She had taught her son all about recycling and avoiding plastic. The little kid was admonishing everybody left right and center. He blasted the vegetable seller and made him switch to artisanal Fabindia jute bags. He shamed the coconut seller and threw away all his plastic straws. He destroyed the janitor's kid who was playing with a plastic ball. He threw away the local chaat seller's Kurkure - because of rumors that it contained plastic. Dia had taught him to abhor plastic. One day, Dia and her son were driving in their gas-guzzling Jaguar. It had minimal plastic, so Dia did not care. "Driver baaya driver baaya... follow that Maruti Alto!" screamed Dia. A middle class car after all, was bound to be loaded with plastic. Dia and junior had found a perfect target for the evening. "BEEP BEEP BEEP" honked the Jaguar. Noise pollution was no issue to Dia. The Michelin tyres were burning as the driver screeched to a halt. "GET OUT OF THE CAR YOU PLASTIC FIEND!" screamed Dia like a banshee. The Alto's window pane slid down. Dia saw the driver and let out a scream. "Please forgive me amma. I did not realise it was you!" "No problem beta. You know that the only plastic i use is my access card to the Rajya Sabha," said the simple elderly lady in a cotton saree. Dia Junior had tears coming out of his eyes. Because R Madhavan had appeared out of nowhere, along with AR Rahman and Sivamani. They had metal instruments. "Zara zara..." crooned Madhavan as Dia started dancing elegantly in the Mumbai rain. Petrichor. This entire incident was narrated to me by acclaimed celebrity photographer Viral Bhayani who was on his way with his pap team to the airport to photograph Janhavi Kapoor in her latest Lyra coords collection.

We often assume that democracy sustains itself. But it survives and prospers only as long as ordinary people continue believing that their participation still matters and actually participate. The day that belief weakens, institutions may remain but democracy begins to hollow out from within.

At this point, they are not even pretending to be organic or original. It is a cheap replica of the 2012 Anna movement. Back then, however, it had the backing of RSS, & Kejriwal & Co. spent months carefully constructing Anna's image. Sonam has neither that image nor the following

With Brinda Karat, Sonam Wangchuk, Colin Gonsalves & Gurnam Singh Charuni in attendance at Jantar Mantar, Abhijeet Dipke wants people to believe that Cockroach Janta Party is an organic, non-political student movement!!

You sound like the RSS folks who thought like this about the freedom fighters. Fortunately our freedom fighters kept fighting the good fight and drove the British away. Some day you yourself may have to protest against the govt. Don't mock our hard won right to protest.

History has been written today. On 10 June 2026, Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji completes 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing the 4,398 days of India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji, to become the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister in the history of our Republic. Pause for a moment and reflect on what this truly means. India is not a nation in the ordinary sense. It is a civilisation of 1.4 billion souls. A land of 22 scheduled languages and hundreds of dialects; of many faiths, castes, communities and creeds; of countless regions and walks of life, living side by side. We are the world's largest democracy, with an electorate of nearly 98 crore, more than the people living in all of Europe. This makes ours perhaps the most complex electoral exercise across the globe. And yet, out of these 1.4 billion people, the same leader has been entrusted with the nation: again, and again, and again. 2014. 2019. 2024. Three successive mandates from the people of India, each one a renewed act of faith. To win the trust of so vast and diverse a nation even once is remarkable. To win it three times over, without a break, is extraordinary. Consider, too, how different the two eras are. Pandit Nehru ji earned his mandate in the formative decades of the Republic, an age of one-party dominance in which the Congress towered over a young and fragmented opposition. Narendra Modi ji has earned his in a far more demanding democracy: the age of coalitions, of powerful regional forces and fierce multi-party competition. And he has met that challenge in full: winning absolute majorities in his own right in 2014 and 2019 (the first single-party majorities since 1984), and then forging and leading a victorious coalition in 2024. To command the trust of so fiercely contested a nation, mandate after mandate, is by any measure the harder achievement. On this historic occasion, I bow to the wisdom of the Indian voter and salute the Hon'ble Prime Minister's tireless devotion to the nation. May he be blessed with robust health and a long life, and may the people of Bharat grant him many more mandates in the service of our motherland. @narendramodi
