गेले काही आठवडे @Aakar__Patel यांच्या #priceofthemodiyears या पुस्तकातून थ्रेड केले. ते सर्व आज एकत्र करून थ्रेड करतोय. ज्यांनी आधी वाचले नसतील त्यांनी वाचा. ज्यांनी वाचले असतील त्यांनी पुन्हा पुन्हा वाचा.

NDMA halts cell broadcasting emergency alerts. The reason is quite interesting.

दिल्लीत अमेरिकन वकिलातीने अमेरिकेच्या स्वातंत्र्याला २५० वर्षं झाली याचा आनंद साजरा करण्यासाठी रिक्षांवर अमेरिकन झेंडे लावले. भारतीय जहाजांवर अमेरिकन हल्ले चालू असल्याचा निषेध म्हणून रिक्षावाल्यांनी काढून टाकले. एवढा तरी कणा दाखवा रे!

Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive? Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members? Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now? This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

That Rs 45 crore, adjusted for inflation, is roughly Rs 4,500 crore in today's money. The Union government now spends that much in about 7 hours. This was the working capital for running a country of 34 crore people through Partition, a refugee crisis, and a war in Kashmir. The first budget that followed in November 1947 raised Rs 171 crore in revenue and spent Rs 197 crore, but 47% of it went to defence because of the conflict in Kashmir and post-partition violence. America's federal budget that same year was roughly 58 times India's entire budget. Going from there to a Rs 53.47 lakh crore budget is an insane leap and would have blown the minds of leaders of that era.

Radia Tapes severely damaged the credibility of senior journalists like Barkha Dutt & Vir Sanghvi. But Navika Kumar too was allegedly linked to this lobbying scam, yet escaped scrutiny. This despite she wasn’t a major face then. Who shielded her? Any idea? 🙂 Listen to this 🎧

A Dalit farming family from Anjar, Kutch, Gujarat alleged dat after selling land, they were tricked into buying electoral bonds worth about ₹11 crore as if it were an investment scheme. SBI/ECI data reportedly showed 10 crore was encashed by BJP n ₹1 crore by Shiv Sena.

ओरबाडून खा, आमच्या जहाजांवर हल्ले करा, आमच्यावर मनमानी टॅरीफ लादा, आमच्या लोकांना बेड्या घालून परत पाठवा. आम्ही बिझी आहोत. आमचा प्रधानमंत्री विक्रम रचतोय.

Forgot that US military ships can dock in India for repairs and maintenance after they are used to bomb Indian container ships. Masterstroke.

माझी शिप ओमान जवळ आहे आणि आज फक्त अर्धा तास आधी जलवीर शिप वर पुन्हा हल्ला केला आहे बिटूमेन टेंकर शिप आहे ही जलवीर सर्व भारतीय आहेत पुन्हा एकदा हल्ला केलेला आहे म्हणून ,कोणी अमेरिका भीक नाही घालत ही आपल्या देशाची लायकी आहे उद्या बातमी येईल किंवा आली असेल बघा जलवीर @gajabhauX

हा हल्ला तीन दिवसांपूर्वीच केला अमेरिकेने. पण शेटचे दोन अनमोल रतन अमेरिकेने लक्ष्य केलेत. त्यामुळे केवळ दूतावासातल्या अधिकाऱ्याला बोलवून बोळवण केलीय. मेन स्ट्रीम मीडिया आज जागा झालाय. हल्ल्याने व्हिडिओ सोशल मीडियावर तीन दिवसांपासून आहेत.

हल्ली बातम्यासुद्धा अमेरिकेतूनच कळतात.

Over three decades after its release, documentary filmmaker Anand Patwardhan’s national award-winning film, Father, Son and Holy War (1995), has been removed from YouTube after the platform flagged it as “violent content”. While Patwardhan appealed YouTube’s decision to take down the film, he said the platform rejected his review request within 15 minutes. “Youtube censorship again! Father, Son and Holy War is our 1995 film which got a U/A censor certificate, two national awards and the Supreme Court of India ordered Doordarshan to screen it at prime time in the public interest. Yet, 30 years later, Youtube has decided that it is too ‘violent’. It is a documentary that records the violence caused by religious fanatics and politicians vying for power. It is an expose of violence, not an endorsement of it. Shame on Youtube!!! Remove the censors, not good sense,” Patwardhan wrote in a post on Facebook. While the film has been removed from Patwardhan’s official YouTube channel anandverite, it is still available on another channel called Alukuchi Malukuchi. Interestingly, Youtube’s ‘violent or graphic content policy’ makes an exception for educational, documentary, scientific and artistic content. “Violent or gory content intended to shock or disgust viewers, or content encouraging others to commit violent acts, are not allowed on YouTube. In some cases, we may make exceptions for content with educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context, including content that is in the public’s interest,” the policy reads. It is not clear why the exception has not been applied in this case. Read more on thewire.in

Think about it. Had Surya Kant never made the cockroach comment, there'd be no cockroach party today. The idea that it 'triggered a movement' is nonsense. Hundreds of such triggers happen in this country every day. Real dissenters don't wait for one. Unemployment, exam leaks, crumbling infra, women's safety, captured institutions, minority harassment, Manipur ... all of it was already here. Ravaging the country for years now. This crowd never bothered about any of it. The anger begins and ends at removing Pradhan. The rest is garnishing. So say the BJP ends this "movement" in one second by dropping Pradhan. Then what? Everyone goes back to normal life? Unemployment keeps growing. Papers keep leaking. Sometimes it's very clear why India is where it is. The mistakes of voters, playing on a loop.
