To read scriptures and texts like Geeta is one thing and to read them as if your peaceful existence depend on finding if what is written in them is true is a different level of desperation, it’s true test of belief.

When I say I am against reservation, that doesn't mean I am against the concept of reservation itself. Rather, I believe the way it has been implemented in our country is problematic. Take this example, this Sejal girl got an MBBS seat with 406 marks through the ST category. Just to put that into perspective, some students don't get an MBBS seat even after scoring 600 marks. I myself had to take a drop year after scoring 600. Now look at the lifestyle she follows. I find it hard to believe that she lacked resources or opportunities during her school years. On the other hand, the people for whom this reservation was originally intended, the genuinely underprivileged tribal communities, often don't even know what NEET-UG is, let alone have the awareness, or resources needed to pursue an MBBS degree. The person who should ideally benefit from this reservation is often nowhere in the picture, while privileged individuals continue to take advantage of a system that was created to uplift the underprivileged. I don't understand how this system, in its current form, is supposed to reduce social inequality. While there are certainly cases where genuinely deserving individuals benefit from reservation, but in majority instances the reality appears very different.

High time travel etiquette became a national awareness campaign. @tourismgoi should work with platforms like MakeMyTrip, Yatra, Cleartrip, Ixigo, Goibibo and others to push short ads and videos on travel behaviour. Travel agents should be encouraged to advise their clients on the same. We spend so much time teaching people how and where to travel. Maybe it's time we also taught people how to behave while travelling. We need to be better travellers.

Indians are entirely unaware of the yearly valuation that Reservation Reservation allied policies gulp every year from the pockets of taxpayers.

We are back to 90’s style power cuts in Andhra. Not random. Multiple hours of power cut everyday for the last 10 days.

This photoshoot was exactly 1 year ago, many utsavs since then (including the 4399 days celebration) but no answers

Indian kids growing up in this era wouldn’t even know how government gets dragged, is held accountable or ministers forced out due to their incompetence … 😭😭😭 Like things that INC government would get crucified for in the good old days now don’t even get a whimper.

It’s our privilege to be citizens of India Where cruelty inflicted on animals are taken for granted. Infants and babies are robbed of their dignity with painful death after raping them . Parents are running from pillar to post but of no help. Rape , murder humans and walk free .

Exactly right

> No seatbelt - fine > No helmet - fine But… > Potholes on road - No fine We need a "Public Accountability App" where we can upload photos of potholes, garbage and the officials working in that department should pay a fine.

Arresting the chef is the lowest police can go in ensuring accountability.

Keshav Negi did not get bail & has been sent to jail for 14 days in judicial custody. A 65 yr old poor chef is rotting in jail while corrupt municipal officials who allowed that illegal death trap to run are probably enjoying air conditioned rooms. — ABSOLUTE MOCKERY OF JUSTICE

कर्णप्रयाग के सिमली में लोगों ने मोमबत्तियां जलाकर और मार्च निकालकर एक ही मांग उठाई - सिमली बेस अस्पताल को पूरी तरह से संचालित किया जाए। अस्पताल की इमारत तो खड़ी है, लेकिन डॉक्टरों और आवश्यक स्वास्थ्य सेवाओं की कमी आज भी बनी हुई है। यह उन लोगों की आवाज़ है जो वर्षों से वादा की गई स्वास्थ्य सुविधाओं का इंतजार करते-करते थक चुके हैं। दुखद बात यह है कि राज्य गठन के ढाई दशक पूरे होने के बाद भी,आज भी उत्तराखंड के लोगों को बुनियादी सुविधाओं की मांग के लिए सड़कों पर उतरकर आंदोलन करना पड़ रहा है। यह कैंडल मार्च केवल एक अस्पताल की मांग नहीं, बल्कि उन अधूरे वादों और विकास के दावों पर सवाल है, जिनके बावजूद पहाड़ के लोगों को आज भी बुनियादी स्वास्थ्य सुविधाओं के लिए संघर्ष करना पड़ रहा है।

Bro, we love you, but stop this nonsense. Colonies weren’t profitable ? Britain didn’t stay in India for nearly 200 years out of kindness. They came for wealth. They drained enormous amounts of wealth, crippled industries like textiles, imposed heavy taxes, and shipped India’s resources abroad while building up Britain’s own economy Millions died in famines under British rule, including the Bengal Famine. Hundreds of unarmed Indians were gunned down at the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Freedom fighters were jailed, tortured, exiled, and executed. Many people also faced pressure to abandon their traditions, culture, and beliefs under colonial policies and institutions Lancashire’s mills got rich. Indian weavers got ruined So yeah, pretending the British Empire didn’t profit from India is pure revisionist history. The loot was real The exploitation was real The suffering was real

A very welcome change in Tamil Nadu is lot of useful things like why we are gaining or losing an investment, eliminating corruption in public life, as Annamalai said in LinkedIn, WhatsApp discussions on agricultural policy - are all becoming part of public discourse. The state's future look bright. People want to discuss and also participate in governance. Welcome change.

देख रहे हो आज तक वालों की हरामखोरी, पहले 12 सिलेंडर में सब्सिडी मिलती थी, फिर 9 सिलेंडर पर मिलने लगी, अब वो संख्या घटाकर 4 कर दी गई है, उसके बावजूद ये लोग उसको राहत बता रहे हैं। दलाल मीडिया
