A year of protest against the federation chief. Slept on pavements for 40 days. Was beaten, dragged by the police. Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga. Underwent knee surgery. Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process. Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics. And now, she's beaten the unbeatable defending champ, won two more bouts to become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling Olympic final. Words fail to appreciate what Vinesh Phogat has just done. es.pn/3SFNkQ1 | #Paris2024

In June this year, the Centre issued guidelines to states on a prisoner release policy to coincide with Azadi Amrit Mahotsav. Amongst the categories *not* eligible for special release: rape convicts. And those convicted for life. @MariyamAlavi @OnReality_Check #Bilkis

Why don’t law schools have a course on administrative obstruction to justice? Hundred thousand times more useful than PIL as a course offering.

I've worked with many amazing editors who supported cartooning. But now editors are under pressure. Cartoonists who question the govt are dumped, columns snatched mercilessly. To reach readers directly this platform was created. Do support, if you can. bit.ly/3fafpvm

On March 21 Delhi govt budget- 500 flag masts at Rs 45 crore. Not oxygen plants but flags!! Modi govt wants central vista, new PM house costing Rs 20,000 crore in middle of pandemic With such govt priorities, is it any wonder that people are facing what they are now-devastation?

The Health Ministry has asked hospitals to use oxygen judiciously. This is important because I've seen hospital staff spiking their sodas with a shot of O2 all the time. Even attendants bring hydrogen from home and use hospital's oxygen to make H2O to prepare cup noodles.
