Nothing shocks anymore- it’s all par-course now, no sanctity. Executive-judiciary-legislature sab ek hain. Citizen Ram bharose
Almost all critics who are criticising the money spent for the UK tour of judiciary, are forgetting a much larger and serious issue. When the top judiciary travel with the very politicians against whose excesses they are expected to protect the citizens, how can one hope for an unbiased handling of cases between private individuals vs Govt?

THIS IS A REMARKABLE MOMENT IN THE CBSE OSM CONTROVERSY !!! Sarthak Sidhant @sidhant_sarthak , one of the students who raised questions about the OSM evaluation process and tendering system, has now arrived at the Parliament House Annexe to present his findings before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education. What started as students questioning blurred scans, mismatched answer sheets and evaluation irregularities has now officially reached Parliament. Over the past few days, Sarthak and other students dug through public multiple documents, tender clauses and evaluation records while demanding answers from institutions far more powerful than themselves. Whether anyone agrees with every allegation or not, one thing is undeniable that an investigation led by multiple students has forced a national conversation on transparency, accountability and the future of students in India. @dpradhanbjp @cbseindia29 @EduMinOfIndia

A large part of Indian Mass Media has become a Barrier between Indian Masses and the Truth.

Yeah- instances of fire in critical buildings have drastically gone up
If you want to measure how much of a joke this country has become, try to enlist all the reported incidents of fires in critical government buildings at centre or in BJP rules states just as critical scams were in media glare since 2014.

Why shld CUET be left behind
First NEET, then CBSE, now CUET… Today CUET has been delayed due to a ‘technical issue’. Lakhs of students were to take the exam in all parts of India today and after waiting for hours, such notices have been put up outside all centres. Remarkable incompetence @dpradhanbjp!

Way back in 2019, I reported extensively about the Globarena Intermediate marks fiasco in Telangana. In fact, I had run a major campaign on my media company Mojo TV. We were the first TV channel up pick the story too. 23 students died by suicide, I spoke with all their families and it was truly heartbreaking. I remember one particular case where a single mother who worked as a farm labour was very proud of her bright daughter. The entire village came to support her education, everyone pitched in with books, commute and all expenses. When the Globarena marks mess up happened, she cried the whole night. Her mother told her it is okay, and she can go for reevaluation or write the exam again, morning the mother wakes up to see her daughter hanging in the middle of the house. I had demanded blacklisting Globarena, arresting the officials. But I guess companies like Globarena are pests that never die, they just transform into something bigger and dangerous and come back to haunt. Globarena now has become Coempt Edu Teck that messed-up the CBSE evaluation. Globarena in 2019 messed up results of 9.74 lakh students in Telangana. Out of this total, approximately 3.8 lakh students failed. 23 suicides were reported. Back then too Globarena failed to provide the answer sheets. After all this, Globarena transforms into Coempt Edu Teck, messes up the future of 18.5 lakh CBSE students across the country. It is almost like they got rewarded for bad behaviour. The officials who were giving approvals for CBSE just 74 days prior knew the history of Coempt Edu Teck. They knew the company is incompetent, but still decided to go ahead and give them the tender. Yes, the Globarena/ Coempt Edu Teck guys are fabulous at landing tenders. The names and associations of Coempt Edu Teck board now seem to run pretty deep in the highest offices. Unless the rot is burnt right from the root level, this won’t stop. All board members, directors, CEO, investors, government employees that tweaked the system to ensure Coempt Edu Teck got the contract should be dragged to the courts & never should be allowed near any business again. But in this country that is so much in love with corruption, I doubt if this will ever change. Coempt Edu Teck may soon get the tender for all exams across the country. PS: To all the students, one exam is not the end. Kudos to your fight. Keep fighting, never ever give up. And if you are feeling low, speak with friends and family or reach out to any helplines.

India was projected as the next global investment powerhouse around 2015-16. By 2026, it has vanished from the Top 15 investment destinations altogether. From “VishGuru” dreams to investors quietly walking away, this is the real story behind the propaganda and fake growth.

Has any single minister EVER taken responsibility & resigned since 2014? A single one, ever? Pulwama, Pahalgam, Vyapam, Cough syrup, COVID deaths, Hathras, NEET, CBSE ……..

#ExpressInvestigation 🔍 | A 1-km road stretch in #Delhi can hold nearly 145 kg of dust. But the system meant to clean it is failing at almost every level. The Indian Express tracked Delhi’s mechanical road sweepers for over 300 days, analysing 18 million GPS data points. The investigation found that Delhi has just 95 sweeping machines — more than 80% short of the 505 recommended to control road dust. Even this limited fleet is not being fully used. In #summer, when road dust is at its worst, only 25 routes were active on a typical day. By March, that number fell to just 15. The deployment is uneven too, with machines concentrated more in VIP-heavy and better-funded zones, while outer areas get far less coverage. Sanitation workers walk up to 30 km a night beside slow-moving machines, often without specialised protective gear. And after collection, the dust is often dumped uncovered at open sites, where it can rise again. Experts say sweepers are only a temporary fix. The real solution lies in end-to-end road paving.

Have been feeling this every time I step outside. Doing what we can do in the ambit of home- bottles of juices, jar of iced water outside door. Authorities who can act at scale, are heartless robos. Maybe AI has now injected some humanity into robos too!
Heartbreaking photo. India has ALL of the world’s 50 hottest cities. But do you see any evidence on our streets and public spaces that shows our authorities care? We have millions of street vendors like this woman in the photo, all left to fend for themselves. From hydration centres to heat shelters, there’s so much governments could do. But why bother when you could stoke religious tensions and get by? Our gig workers are often the worst affected. They are forced to spend the day on the streets, waiting for orders. Neither food delivery apps, nor @urbancompany_UC bothers with erecting shelters workers can use to escape the heat. And we, as the public, don’t really care. Cockroaches, indeed.

This was the same sentiment after horrors of COVID management, yet landslide victory happened.
Seriously… yesterday’s reach on my this anti-Modi post genuinely shocked me. I never expected this level of response. It clearly shows one thing ...people are frustrated. The mood is changing fast, and the anger is real now. Many feel this government wasted valuable years of the youth. A huge section struggled through their best age with stress, unemployment, pressure, and endless distractions instead of real growth opportunities. And now Gen Z looks even more angry and aggressive than the previous generation. People are done staying silent. The frustration is turning vocal everywhere. Looks like the country is entering a phase where people want accountability and real change. #Modi #Nifty50 #India #Cockroach #BJP #JustSaying

If she were a journalist in India, authorities would first be sent to inspect whether her house had an extended balcony, and then a bulldozer would be dispatched to demolish it. Her media group would be ordered to sack her, and if they refused, the ED would have knocked on their doors by now. Her phone would probably be bugged using Pegasus. Some forgotten tweet from 2014 would be presented as a threat to national security. A panel of professional outrage experts would appear every evening to explain how asking questions is actually a foreign conspiracy. A fresh FIR would appear in three different states over the exact same sentence. Her passport status would suddenly become a matter of urgent national concern. If she moved to YouTube, her channel would somehow violate policy within hours. And by the end of it all, she would be politely advised that “India has complete freedom of speech”.. .. as long as the speech is pre-approved.

Scary to the core 😧
The Liquidation of India by its own rulers and tycoons. “The Indian Elite is not betting on India. They are betting on Dubai, London, and Singapore. The ‘Nationalism’ on TV is the band playing on the Titanic. It keeps the passengers distracted while the First Class secures the lifeboats.” This is the scariest article I have read recently. theuaob.substack.com/p/the-l…
