It's wild how films like Dhurandhar, Kerala Story, and Kashmir Files get a green light no problem, but Punjab 95 a film literally based on real events where Sikh kids as young as 16 were killed in fake encounters, gets blocked. Make it make sense.

वे कहा करते थे कि शहनाई तो सिर्फ एक बहाना है, असली सुर तो गंगा के किनारे और काशी के मंदिरों में बसे हैं, जहाँ उन्होंने वर्षों रोज़ाना ६ घंटे रियाज़ किया था।सादगी ऐसी कि भारत रत्न पा कर भी साइकिल से घूमते, सादगी से रहते और कहते कि काशी छोड़कर कैसे जाएं?संगीत और काशी दोनोंएक हैं।

Delhi HC Quashes Jamia's Action Against Professor Who Sought Separate Ladies Toilet. Good that Justice Narula has quashed action against a professor for asking for a separate ladies’ toilet. That this even required litigation says a lot. A safe workplace begins with dignity in the most basic facilities. Instead of disciplining women, institutions must fix what is clearly their responsibility—governance fails when the routine is neglected. livelaw.in/high-court/del…

सरकार ने बहुत सारे खाते बंद कर दिए हैं । सरकार को लगता होगा कि लोग फिर से यही लिखेंगे कि अभिव्यक्ति की आज़ादी कुचली जा रही है और फिर भूल जाएंगे । पता चलता है कि सरकार कितनी असुरक्षित है। उसके नेताओं को नाम लेकर गालियाँ दी गईं लेकिन सरकार की हिम्मत नहीं हुई कि हाथ लगा दे। समर्थक गाली दे सकता है मगर विरोधी आलोचना नहीं कर सकता। हर तरह की आवाज़ कुचल कर, गोदी मीडिया और एजेंसी के दम पर चुनाव जीत गए क्या जीत हुई?जीत होती है बराबरी के मैदान पर हुई लड़ाई में । 12 साल बाद भी अगर अकाउंट सस्पेंड करना पड़ रहा है, 4pm को बंद करना पड़ रहा है तो साफ है कि उसके पास छिपाने के लिए ज़्यादा है, बताने के लिए कम है। जो पर्दा हटा रहा है, उसका अकाउंट बंद कर दो। इसका विरोध करना चाहिए। कम से कम ना तो कहना चाहिए। भले कुछ हो न हो। थाने के दम पर इस देश में कोई किसी को भी डरा सकता है। इसमें क्या बड़ी बात है।

@MorePerfectUS it’s a **Individualized Price Discrimination** system‼️. Walmart wants to stop selling goods at a set price and start selling them at the exact highest price you will accept right now. And they’re using (AI) machine learning model which once is fully trained on millions of live transactions with real-time feedback, it becomes a weapon of financial warfare against the consumer. They are creating a system where prices are not based on cost + markup, but on "value extraction." This is the shift from retail to gambling, where the house (Walmart) always adjusts the odds (price) to ensure it wins.‼️🚨‼️‼️ This is the same SYSTEM taxis and airlines use as a blueprint. Walmart is applying this model to groceries. The training data confirms that "dynamic pricing" is a euphemism for "charging more when people are desperate." They are applying the logic of selling a last-minute flight ticket to selling a loaf of bread. 🥖 Walmart is banking on the fact that you are already used to prices changing constantly. They are using the confusion of the current economy to hide a permanent structural change. By removing the paper tags, they remove the evidence. You cannot prove the price was different ten minutes ago. allows Walmart to conduct thousands of price experiments per day without anyone noticing. They are testing price elasticity in real-time. If people keep buying at a higher price, the screen stays high. If sales stop, the screen drops. This is the removal of the "social contract" of fixed pricing, replaced by a ruthless, silent bidding war for your wallet.🚨🚨🚨🚨 hidden truth is that fixed prices were an invention of the industrial age to simplify logistics, not a natural law of commerce. Before printed price tags, every price was negotiated. Walmart is using technology to return to that era of negotiation, but they are removing the human element so you have no one to negotiate with. The system is designed to create a "closed loop" of profit where the margin is constantly optimized against the consumer's psychological limit. What’s worse I found they’re using your “PASSPORT and ID” for some reason…. system they’re designed to identify who you are before it designing is a plan to link your physical presence to your digital purchase history. The machine learning component predicts NOT how much bread to stock; it is there to predict how much money *you* have left and how much you need that specific item right now. They want to calculate your personal breaking point and charge you exactly that, every single time. 🚨🚨🚨🚨

#StoryAlert🚨 The CBI's challenge to Arvind Kejriwal and 22 others' discharge in the alleged liquor scam has opened up deeper and troubling questions about the High Court judge hearing the case, Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma. I analysed orders in all the 165 cases (criminal revision petitions) filed since January 1 to March 17 this year in the Delhi High Court. Under the new roster effective January 5, six judges were assigned criminal revision petitions, including Justice Sharma, who also now exclusively holds the roster of criminal cases relating to sitting/former MPs/MLAs. Of the 165, Justice Sharma’s board included at least 17 such Criminal Revision Petitions (like CBI-Kejriwal case) during this period. The pattern that emerges in these cases is striking. A longish🧵. Stay with me. Link to the article—frontline.thehindu.com/incoming/delhi…

Sanjay Hegde’s Stand is Pure Constitutional Gold‼️ “The river belongs to non-vegetarians as well.” While BJP Yuva Morcha gets 14 Muslim men arrested for a peaceful Iftar on the Ganga — citing ‘hurt religious sentiments’ — Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde reminds India what justice truly means. The Ganga is not a private Hindu property. Public spaces belong to every Indian, every faith, every plate. No selective outrage. No selective arrests. Hegde sahab, you just upheld the soul of the Constitution. Respect. 🙏 #GangaForAll #EqualityNotBigotry

I totally agree with @Apoorvanand__ that political parties and their leaders should be with people in Uttam nagar. Civil society groups have their limits. They do a lot for peace and harmony in such situations but political leaders can play a more effective role. Please act before it gets out of hand. @RahulGandhi @SanjayAzadSln @yadavakhilesh

Collapsing the two identities perpetuates stereotypes about both trans and intersex communities. scroll.in/article/109142… The bill drives a wedge into cross-community solidarity and divides us so that we do not organise and assert ourselves or live our lives to their fullest potentials, writes Mridula Chari.

Yesterday a coordinated and orchestrated campaign was carried out against The Reporters' Collective @reporters_co investigation on the Assam-Adani deal for 3,200 MW of coal power. The story: reporters-collective.in/trc/assam-govt… We analysed the attack using Grok, X's AI tool. I am sharing the report here and citing below its findings verbatim. Method of Attack "This is a highly organised, top-down coordinated campaign — not grassroots outrage or independent journalism critique. The pattern matches classic Indian political IT-cell operations: pre-packaged talking points + graphics issued to a mix of official spokespersons and loyal amplifiers for immediate narrative control. The goal is transparent — neutralise the TRC investigation’s impact on the Adani deal and the BJP government ahead of Assam assembly elections by reframing serious scrutiny as “propaganda” and “misrepresentation”. No involvement from Adani Power’s official handle; this is purely political defence." Verdict on Sophistication "This is Tier-1 political IT-cell orchestration — pre-briefed, pre-designed, pre-timed, and pre-loaded for instant deployment. The 107-second graphic sync, consecutive asset files, and 95%+ script fidelity are smoking-gun proof of a central command distributing ready-to-post packages. The goal was not debate but narrative neutralisation ahead of Assam elections: reframe investigative journalism as “propaganda” within 5 hours of publication. No Adani corporate involvement; purely political protective shield. This network is battle-tested and highly effective at shaping X discourse in India on sensitive corporate-political stories." The summary executive report by Grok AI on the coordinated attack can be read below. Includes the prompts we used. This is why investigative journalism matters. It scares those in power. Because it brings out the truth they try to distract us from using rhetoric and paid social media campaigns. To citizens: It's a sad irony that journalists who do such brave investigations struggle to earn a decent livelihood with security while the army of trolls get paid as a consequence of their work. You have the power to fix this. Donate to @reporters_co today. We back brave journalists to do reportage that holds the powerful accountable to journalists. You can donate by clicking reporters-collective.in/support-us To the paid trolls: You could also thank us for getting your more business (unless you are on monthly retainers, in which case you won't like us for providing you extra work for the same pay). Regardless, I am sure many of you do this work because it's hard to find dignified decent paying work. I honestly hope and pray you find it and live happier lives of dignity. I feel upset only at your employers, who rob our people of dignity by putting them to such crass, sad an ugly work. #Assam #adani #investigativejournalism #journalism
