The Indus water will continue to flow due to gravity to Pakistan, since India has no storage structures on its tributaries Jhelum, Indus and Chenab to prevent the flow to downstream. In nutshell, freezing a treaty doesn't alter gravity flow 😎

'The gap between what people earn and what life costs has to be filled. Increasingly, it is being filled with borrowed money. India's non-housing household debt as a share of income now exceeds that of US and China.' India's middle class is under strain. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Why is she doing this? Because there was general strike after general strike in Rome calling for an end to the genocide. Because the Italian dockers refused to ship weapons to Israel. The people made their fascist, pro-war PM change her tune because they demanded it. ✊🇮🇹

Italian Prime Minister Meloni: "I accuse Israel of crossing the red line, I condemn the massacre of Palestinian civilians, and I announce that Italy will support European sanctions against Israel."

France Refuses Rafale Source Codes to India, Triggering Major Blow to New Delhi’s Airpower Independence Strategy - Defence Security Asia. As one French report stated unequivocally, “India will not receive sensitive source codes for Rafale’s RBE2 radar and SPECTRA electronic warfare suite, with France retaining control over core software despite technology transfer and local production cooperation,” a position that underscores Paris’s intent to safeguard proprietary software sovereignty. For any meaningful upgrade, we’re left pleading with Dassault—while opening the purse wide and paying a premium every time. MoD🤡🤡 share.google/lgsJbO2X8aJuxh…

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran. This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It's not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You're sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons. I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late. Yesterday, nearly ten million people protested “No Kings” in the United States. The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It's dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known. Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.
Dyab Abou Jahjah@Aboujahjah

Israel has now become the first state to codify a death sentence that applies in practice to one ethnic group, while another is effectively shielded from it.

8.2 LAKH CRORE. Yes, read that again. ₹8.2 LAKH CRORE to be borrowed when crude oil has barely touched $100. Now remember The same people who are struggling today were mocking Manmohan Singh back then, when he was navigating far worse conditions with Crude at $120 - $140. And yet, he held the economy steady without any noise, chest thumping or PR spectacle He navigated the 2008 global crisis. He handled the oil super cycle. He managed the taper tantrum. And most importantly, he did it without making ordinary Indians feel the shock. Because his focus was simple. Stability. Clarity. Foresight. He governed to protect people, not to perform for headlines. Fast forward to today. Lower crude prices. More resources. More control. And still, RECORD BORROWING. Visible stress. No clear direction. The same people who mocked him are now struggling to manage far easier conditions. That is the difference. One governed with depth & responsibility. The other survives on optics. History has a way of correcting narratives. And when it does, it will remember this clearly. History will indeed be kinder to Dr Manmohan Singh 🙏

NEW | Swedish billionaire Roger Akelius pledges 800 million Swedish kronor (around $75 million) to support the construction of schools in Gaza, in what is considered one of the largest personal donations to the Strip. The contribution, expected to be implemented through UNICEF, could help build nearly 400 schools amid the ongoing destruction of Gaza’s education sector. Akelius, known for his outspoken support for Palestinians, has previously condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza as “horrific” and voiced strong criticism of its policies, while also making earlier donations to humanitarian efforts in the besieged enclave.

India has bought ~60 million barrels of Russian oil in March, and already booked a similar amount for delivery in April. The purchases are at a premium of $5-$15 a barrel **above** the Brent benchmark. And current prices, that’s worth >$6.5 billion for each month. Putin wins.

India got average $11 per barrel discount on crude imports from Russia post Ukraine war. As per FT the saving was over $115 billion. This was not passed on to consumers. They could have increased oil reserves with this money. What happened to the savings we still don't know?
Sushant Singh@SushantSin

What pressure. These companies and the government have extracted very high profits when the crude prices have been so low over the years, transferring not even a paisa of benefit to the consumer. Time to pay that back to the consumer now.

A. Rishi Kumar, a final-year student of Tamil Nadu National Law University (TNNLU), did not bow to pressure from the University to delete the article, titled “The Supreme Court of India has no Spine”. Here he criticised the Supreme Court’s ban on a Class 8 NCERT civics textbook and its decision to blacklist its authors for their mention of judicial corruption. He wrote "The Court has decided, in its grand old wisdom, that eighth graders, who are doing algebra and learning refractions, are simply too dumb to handle a basic civics chapter that spends fourteen pages praising the judiciary and two paragraphs acknowledging its flaws." My respect to Rishi. You are awesome! Anyone want to read the article, ask me in comments - I shall provide you the link.

Having just seen long lines for cooking gas cylinders on the streets of cities in India — one of many bystanders to the conflict whose population has been seriously impacted—I’m struck yet again by how relatively insulated the U.S. is from the wars it unleashes

Absolute bombshell. Former UK Minister Alan Duncan confirms there was a clear peace agreement mediated by Oman for ZERO nuclear proliferation in Iran. But it was sabotaged and betrayed by Israel because they always wanted to attack Iran. Israel started this war!

This will also be documented by the United States Commision on International Religious Freedom(USCIRF) which in 2026 has named RSS for being sanctioned. India is providing daily fodder for USCIRF, a body created by US President & Legislatures,to assess religious freedom.

Yes, the photo Netanyahu on the phone with the IDF officer and note-taker is identical in both. The screenshot you shared dates that exact image to Feb 4, 2026 (pre-dating the Feb 28 strikes/eliminations), so the one posted today by IsraeliPM is an older photo reused for the caption.

She is Pallavi Ghosh. Pallavi alleges that 55 empty gas cylinders were recovered from the residence of Samajwadi Party MLA Abdul Rahman. Ab suniye.... There is no MLA named Abdul Rahman in the Samajwadi Party. Madam attempted to divert the issue ostensibly to defend the government by invoking the name of the opposition; however, she was caught red-handed And Madam hasn't even deleted the tweet yet.
