What an amazing life lesson the present generation is deprived of, by the parents, especially in Telugu states. Parents should teach children both. 👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Dear @amb_cinemas Kapali, why do you block these seats for all the shows including the late night show for all the days released so far ? Can we never watch from these seats for any show ever ? We also travel far from Hoskote to watch @_mrchaturvedi #ProjectHailMary

I don't use net banking apps on my phone because the mandatory permissions they ask for make no sense. Why does a banking app need access to my SMS, phone, contacts, etc., in the name of security, when not seeking invasive device permissions is, in fact, the global benchmark for cybersecurity. This is called the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP). “Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you” has been at the heart of the Zerodha philosophy. This is exactly why we've built Zerodha the way we have. Kite asks for ZERO permissions on mobile, for instance, and this is one of the big reasons why millions of people trust us. What has enabled us is SEBI's mandatory strong two-factor authentication framework strike the right balance between security and privacy.

Late Sushma Swaraj ji had shared some anecdotes on how India's Foreign Policy & Diplomacy is so strong. How do we manage to keep our relationships strong with other countries? Even now, in this war, we can see how India is having its say and keeps its friendship. The passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz is a recent example. This is a must watch. Share widely. #FI

The Supreme Court's recent judgment directing the dissociation of Professor Michel Danino and his colleagues from all publicly funded educational roles is nothing short of a draconian overreach, a blatant assault on academic freedom, and a chilling attempt to sanitise the narrative of institutional flaws in India. As a Padma Shri awardee and a scholar who has dedicated his life to illuminating India's ancient civilisation, Danino has been unfairly vilified for daring to include a factual discussion on judicial corruption in a Class 8 NCERT textbook. This ruling not only undermines the principles of transparency and education but also exposes the judiciary's hypersensitivity to scrutiny, even as real corruption festers within its ranks. Let us dissect this travesty with the data it demands. First, consider Michel Danino's impeccable credentials. Born in France in 1956, he relocated to India in 1977, becoming an Indian citizen and immersing himself in the study of its heritage. He has authored seminal works such as *The Lost River: On the Trail of the Sarasvati* (2010), which marshalled archaeological, hydrological, and satellite data to revive the Vedic Sarasvati River's historical significance, challenging colonial-era myths. Danino debunked the outdated Aryan Invasion Theory through rigorous evidence from sites like Dholavira and Lothal, demonstrating the continuity of the Indus Valley Civilisation with Vedic culture. As a guest professor at IIT Gandhinagar, he helped establish its Archaeological Sciences Centre, and in 2017, he was honoured with the Padma Shri for contributions to literature and education. He convened the International Forum for India's Heritage, boasting over 160 eminent members, and has published in journals like *Man and Environment* and *Puratattva*. To brand such a scholar as lacking "reasonable knowledge" or deliberately misrepresenting facts is an insult to intellectual integrity. Now, turn to the offending chapter in the NCERT Class 8 Social Science textbook, titled "The Role of the Judiciary in Our Society." Far from being a sensationalist rant, it factually addressed systemic challenges, including "corruption at various levels" that delays justice. It highlighted the staggering backlog: approximately 81,000 pending cases in the Supreme Court, 6.24 million in High Courts, and 47 million in district and subordinate courts. The text linked these to structural issues like judge shortages, complex procedures, and weak infrastructure, echoing the maxim "justice delayed is justice denied." It noted that judges are bound by a code of conduct, yet corruption persists, impacting access to justice, especially for the economically disadvantaged. This is not "misrepresentation"—it is essential civic education for young minds to understand institutional realities and push for reforms. The irony is palpable when juxtaposed against the data on actual judicial corruption in India. Between 2016 and 2025, over 8,600 complaints were filed against sitting judges, peaking at 1,170 in 2024. Transparency International's 2013 Global Corruption Barometer found that 45% of Indian households viewed the judiciary as corrupt, with an average corruption score of 3.3 out of 5. A 2026 India Today survey revealed that 85% of Indians perceive the judiciary as deeply or somewhat corrupt, with only 8% believing it is corruption-free. In 2013, 36% of citizens reported paying bribes to the judiciary, with 59% to lawyers, 5% to judges, and 30% to court officials for favourable outcomes. As of 2024, over 50 million cases remain pending, exacerbating vulnerabilities where litigants resort to bribes to expedite proceedings. Chief Justice B.R. Gavai himself acknowledged in 2025 that instances of corruption erode public confidence, citing cases like the Allahabad High Court's Justice Yashwant Varma, embroiled in a cash scandal. From 2017 to 2021, 1,631 complaints on judicial misconduct were forwarded via the Centralised Public Grievance Redress system. These figures, drawn from official and international sources, affirm that the chapter's content was grounded in reality, not malice. This ruling reeks of institutional insecurity. By blacklisting Danino and his associates—Suparna Diwakar and Alok Prasanna Kumar—from any publicly funded work, the Court has effectively censored discourse on its own failings. It mocks the separation of powers, positioning the judiciary as untouchable while it lectures on accountability. Where was this zeal when former Law Minister Shanti Bhushan alleged that eight of sixteen former Chief Justices were corrupt? Or when the Press Information Bureau reported recurring complaints about judicial integrity? The Court's order to rework the chapter only with "domain experts", including a former judge, smacks of self-preservation, not pedagogy. Education should foster critical thinking, not shield power from critique. By punishing scholars like Danino, who has enriched India's historical narrative, the judiciary risks alienating the very citizens it serves. This is not justice; it is judicial authoritarianism. We must demand a reversal, for the sake of our democracy and our children's right to truth. #StandWithDanino #JudicialOverreach #AcademicFreedom

Padma Shri Prof. Michel Danino, a French-born Indologist who made India home 48 yrs ago, authored landmark 'The Lost River: On the Trail of the Saraswati' & 'The Invasion That Never Was', pioneered Indian Knowledge Systems at IITGN & honest history in NCERT under NEP. SC's rebuke over Class 8 textbook noting verifiable judicial challenges (pendency, corruption) is absolutely wrong. Censorship by the very institution meant to protect freedom of expression is ridiculous and dangerous. What has become of this institution?

We know everyone will remember Sanju Samson for this World Cup victory. Jasprit Bumrah will get the loudest cheers, and Suryakumar Yadav will be remembered as the World Cup–winning captain. But you, Shivam Dube , your name might be forgotten because there was no half-century from your side. Yet we know you were the one who ensured India’s victory in the most important matches. Those quick-fire innings saved India from defeat. All those small knocks were actually the wall between victory and defeat. You stood tall and unshaken to secure the win. Well played, champion 🇮🇳🏆

Unpopular Opinion Why can't we treat cricket as another sport? And players as players? At the end of the previous bilateral series against New Zealand, Abhishek Sharma was the God. He was THE player. He was the one who was the second coming of Jesus who would lead us to victory in the T20 World cup and provide succour to millions of parched souls And Sanju Samson was useless. In fact he was so useless that people wanted to drop him and take away all his equipment and ban him from playing cricket forever. One match later, Abhishek is now useless and needs to be dropped and Samson is now the Jesus. I mean, why be more volatile than Tesla stock? And as for our cricketing triumphs, we need to have some perspective The only reason we are at the top of the pop in Cricket is because no one in the world, outside the Indian sub continent, takes Cricket seriously. Amongst the countries that kind of do, Cricket isn't the top sport. In some places it isn't even in the top three Us winning a cricket match or tournament is not a matter of emotion. It is simple logic and probability
