Couple of days ago, Dusharla Satyanarayana was beaten up and left to bleed in his farm. Who is Dusharla Satyanarayana? A 72 year old man who inherited 70 acres of ancestral land in Raghavapuram, Suryapet, Telangana. He didn’t sell it or make it a real estate venture, instead he resigned to his plush bank job and took up a full time work to repair the environment. He planted FIVE CRORE trees in the land, all by himself. He also dug 13 ponds and small lakes in this forest. He developed rainwater harvesting system in his forest. He doesn’t sell the agri-products, he says every fruit / flower / leaf that grows in this forest belongs to the animals, birds and the forest itself. At least 32 varieties of birds made this forest their home, along with numerous animals. When Nalgonda district was suffering because of Fluorosis, he started an NGO Jala Sadhana Samithi and worked intensively to educate people about the problems. He made government to listen to the water crisis and brought in policy changes. Dusharla Satyanarayana doesn’t even pluck a fruit for himself from the forest. And he decided not to give his land to his son also! People offered him hundreds of crores for the land and he flatly refused. He family and neighbours fought with him but he never gave up caring for nature and his forest. Three days ago, a few men thrashed him because he stopped them from cutting trees in his forest. He told them not to destroy the nature. These men are neighbouring villagers who want to graze their cattle and cut the trees for their needs. Dusharla Satyanarayana is now getting treated at a government hospital in Hyderabad. Wishing him a very speedy recovery. Wish people understand what this man is doing for this world & protect him, if not worship him.

@san_x_m Bhikhabhai Jethwa, the father of slain RTI activist Amit Jethwa and a staunch campaigner for justice, passed away in May 2024 at the age of 69. He died at a Bhavnagar hospital just days after the Gujarat High Court acquitted the former BJP MP Dinu Solanki in the 2010 murder case.

@san_x_m @Djeykarthik then charge the police officers who did not chase the assailants with criminal intent and collusion

@Djeykarthik It is a painful case, no doubt. But strong words aside, the core issue remains that accountability could not be clearly established despite years of investigation.

His name was Amit Jethwa. He was 35 years old. From Khambha village in Amreli, Gujarat. He grew up near the Gir forest. The only place on earth where Asiatic lions still survive in the wild. He gave his life protecting it. Most people do not know this. He was one of the key activists whose eight-year pursuit led to Salman Khan's conviction for poaching a Chinkara deer inside Gir. From 2008, he filed six RTI applications exposing an illegal mining lobby operating inside protected areas around Gir. He named a sitting Member of Parliament, Dinu Solanki, in his filings. He filed a Public Interest Litigation in the Gujarat High Court. On July 20 2010, he came to the High Court to file one final affidavit. It stated his life was in danger from Dinu Solanki. He filed it. He walked out of the Satyamev Complex at 8:30 PM. Two men on a motorcycle shot him at close range. Even after being hit, he grabbed the kurta of one attacker. The kurta had a laundry tag. The tag led to Junagadh. A police vehicle was parked outside. Two officers heard the shot. They did not pursue the killers. He was killed outside the gates of the very court he had come to seek protection from. Gujarat Police gave the MP a clean chit. The Gujarat High Court called the investigation far from fair and transferred the case to the CBI in 2012. In 2019, the CBI court convicted Dinu Solanki and six others. Life imprisonment. In May 2024, the Gujarat High Court acquitted all seven. The court said the investigation was a clear eyewash from the beginning. All efforts were made to ensure the truth is buried forever. It quoted Satyamev Jayate. Truth must triumph. Then it let everyone go free. Amit Jethwa's father, Bhikhabhai, is 80 years old. He is still fighting. No one has been punished for his son's murder.

Amit Jethwa's murder exposes Gujarat's rot: RTI warrior gunned down outside HC after naming MP Solanki in illegal mining racket. CBI convicted, HC acquitted in '24 calling probe an eyewash. 80-year-old father fights on—justice denied, lions unprotected. Satyamev Jayate? More like Satyamev Hata

His body had wasted away piece by piece. His ribs had begun to show. He no longer had the strength even to move. When the British saw that this 25-year-old young man would not break, they tried to force-feed him by thrusting a tube through his nose. The tube entered his lungs instead of his food pipe. Milk filled his lungs. He writhed in agony, vomited blood, but still refused to end his hunger strike. On 13 September 1929, inside Lahore Jail, a revolutionary gave his life. For 63 days yes, 63 days he had not eaten a single grain of food. History often remembers the hanging of Bhagat Singh, but forgets the comrade who died in Bhagat Singh’s arms. That revolutionary was Jatindra Nath Das known across India as Jatin Da. He was an expert in making bombs, but in the end, his greatest weapon became his own body. He could have apologized. He could have accepted food. He could have saved his life. But he had only one demand: “Stop treating Indian political prisoners like animals.” The British believed hunger would crush his spirit. They did not realize that this was not a body made of flesh alone it was forged in iron. As his condition worsened, the British crossed every limit of cruelty. Prison doctors and guards pinned him down. They forced a tube into his nose. He screamed in pain, but his resolve never trembled. When news of his martyrdom reached the public, the nation wept. It is said that as his body was carried from Lahore to Calcutta, thousands stood at every railway station with flowers in their hands. In Calcutta, more than 600,000 people joined his funeral procession. Subhas Chandra Bose himself helped carry his body on his shoulders. But today, how many still remember that 63-day sacrifice? Before his death, Jatin Da reportedly said: “I am no saint. I am simply an ordinary man who wishes to die for the dignity of his country.” People may debate how India won freedom. But one truth cannot be denied: The foundations of that freedom were laid upon the withered bones of young men like Jatin Da. India’s freedom was not charity. Someone paid for it with his youth, his pain, and 63 days of unimaginable suffering. Every Indian should know the price of the air they breathe today.

केदारनाथ यात्रा के पहले ही दिन जो हुआ वो नहीं होना चाहिए था, गुजरात से आए श्रद्धालु दिलीप भाई माली की हार्ट अटैक से मौत हो गई। बेटा हेमंत माली डीएम रुद्रप्रयाग विशाल मिश्रा से पिता की डेडबॉडी ले जाने के लिए हेली सर्विस की गुहार लगाता रहा, लेकिन डीएम ने DGCA की NOC नहीं होने का हवाला दिया और ख़ुद हेलीकॉप्टर में बैठकर निकल गए। डीएम रुद्रप्रयाग का ये रवैया बेहद गैरजिम्मेदाराना था और अमानवीय भी। सुबह हेलीपैड पर आई डेडबॉडी को दोपहर 12.30 बजे हेली नसीब हुआ। यदि DGCA की NOC नहीं थी तो डीएम अपनी टीम के साथ हेलीकॉप्टर से कैसे उड़े। क्या सरकार ने अधिकारियों और नागरिकों के लिए अलग अलग नियम बनाए है ? @pmo @pushkardhami @RamMNK @AmitShah

This is my friend Surbhi Sarna. She came to Draper University in 2012. She had painful ovarian cysts as a teenager, but doctors didn’t have tools that could detect cancer without harming the ovaries. She studied molecular biology at UC Berkeley. Then came to DU. Then she built nVision around a fiber optic line product that could go up the fallopian tubes to detect cancer without harming the ovaries. Her medical device got FDA approval and nVision sold for $275 million to Boston Scientific. 200,000 women worldwide die each year from ovarian cancer. Early diagnosis by nVision can save many of these lives. Incredibly proud to have invested in Surbhi, her mission and her product. She is one of the poster star heroes from Draper University and we will always be grateful.

On November 21 2025 India replaced 29 labour laws with 4 Labour Codes. Most salaried employees have no idea what changed. Here is what applies to you right now. One. Your PF and gratuity calculation has changed. More of your CTC now counts as wages. If your employer kept your basic salary artificially low to reduce payouts, that structure is now under scrutiny. Two. All final dues must be paid within 2 working days of your last working day. Not 30 days. Not 45. 2 days. This is law from April 1 2026. Three. Fixed term employment is now legal. Full benefits, no obligation to make you permanent. Your offer letter matters more than ever. Four. If you are retrenched you are entitled to 15 days wages per year served. Get a written calculation before signing any settlement. Five. Your employer cannot hold your relieving letter or experience certificate after your last working day. Six. Working hours are capped at 48 per week. Anything beyond that must be compensated as overtime. Most people will discover this only when it is too late. Save this. Share it with every salaried person you know.

🔴DON’T LOOK AWAY The Islamic regime is going to hang Diana Taherabadi because she participated in the January protests. She’s only 16. This is pure barbarism. Share this before they kill her.

@EYakoby wake up world

BREAKING: The Islamic Republic is preparing to hang eight women. Not a word from the international community or so-called human rights organizations.

Today, right after the call of “Allahu Akbar” at dawn, the regime in Iran, placed a noose around this young man’s neck and kicked the chair from under his feet, so he would struggle, suffocate, and die. Yes this is happening in 21st century. They executed him because he went to protest with empty hands and said he wanted freedom. His name is Amirali Mirjafari. He was only 22 years old. They called him a “leader” of the protests. But they never said when he was arrested, how he was tortured, or how he was tried. Because everything was done in silence, a silence enforced by threats against his family. They imprisoned him in silence. They tortured him in silence. They tried him in silence. And they executed him in silence. Dozens of protesters have been executed the same way. Yet many political leaders in the West, who suddenly worry about “international law”, after a military strike against Ali Khamenei and members of IRGC have not said a single word about these barbaric killings. Why? Why is there silence when young civilians are hanged for demanding freedom?

In 1998, a 13-year-old girl was abducted and raped at knifepoint in Alicante, Spain. The rapist, 63-year old Antonio Cosme, was sentenced to 9 years in jail. 7 years later, in 2005, the victim's mother, María del Carmen García, was waiting at a bus stop when she saw a man approaching. "How's your daughter doing?" the man asked with a smirk on his face. It was her daughter's rapist. Antonio was out on day release. Enraged by what had just happened, Maria ran to the nearest store, purchased 1.5 litres of gasoline, and walked into the bar that Antonio had just entered. She doused him head-to-toe with gasoline, lit him up, and stood back and calmly watched as her daughter's rapist burned alive in front of her eyes. Maria was sentenced to 9.5 years in jail for her act of revenge, but was released in 2018 after serving 5.5 years. Today, she lives freely in Spain after being reunited with her daughter.

@san_x_m @chhabs63 🙌🙌🙌

@deebayleaf Poor young girl Alana Rose 🥺 😞 💔 I agree with the mom he just be in jail forever for attempted murder. At the very least, he should receive 40 years in jail. He is a danger not only to her when he gets out to any woman who doesn't want him. He is unstable.

@BijouxFleurette @deebayleaf the state should have a policewoman do it, so that he learns the hard way and she is spared further trauma

@deebayleaf she should be allowed to stab her attacker back 41 times. just saying

She is Alana Rosa, 20 years old, who was stabbed 40 times after refusing to date a man, attends the first trial hearing of the criminal. All the strength to her, I hope she gets justice for what was done to her.
