Gustavo Fring going to meet Hector Salamanca

Shoutout to every single independent journalist in our country. Thank you for staying your course.

Fact check: this is an outcome of the 2015 people's demand to #SaveTheInternet resulting in the 2016 #NetNeutrality regulation that derailed dreams of walled gardens in favour of the open internet. The mobile data boom came after this. We the people of India did this.

"Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it" (Mark Twain). Hats off to the courage of these people, taking on the might of the monumentally sordid and corrupt, morally bankrupt BJP and winning after a tremendous, persistent struggle!

Astonishing how @pbhushan1 was constantly badgered by Tushar Mehta in Supreme Court & no Judge thought it to fit to intervene. Such undignified behaviour by Solicitor General continued. Prashant Bhushan has done our country and our republic great service. More power to him.

Ram ji's benevolence encompasses both humans and animals, but it's unfortunate that dogs consistently face hardships. It's essential for individuals to realize that this isn't merely a religious concern; rather, it's a political matter demanding comprehension and action.

This is the lens through which the privileged see the world Corporate tax reduction = Reform Capital gains tax cut = Reform Near free land to industry = Reform Near free IIT/IIM education = My birthright Free/subsidized food to the poor = Fiscal profligacy Free healthcare = Revadi Reservations = Anti-merit I still remember when MGR was promoting the mid day meal scheme in Tamilnadu schools, how much breast-beating there was in financial papers that this was undesirable spending. And yet that changed the outcome in terms of education and Human development for the state. Simply put: anything that benefits the privileged is classified under Reform whereas anything benefiting the under privileged, even if it is in health & education without which the country/economy can't prosper, is 'a waste of taxpayer money', Anti-merit etc Arey Bhai, one of the objectives of taxation IS some amount of redistribution, at least to ensure basics for the poorer segments.

There is a difference between a patriot and a nationalist. देशभक्ति और राष्ट्रवाद में फ़र्क है। Ajay and i come back for a special poem on our 77th Independence Day. “Patriotism vs Nationalism” लेखन: @ajaxsingh #DialoguesOfDemocracy

“I have Muslim friends that I’m close to but they have never expressed their anguish to me.” It’s because they don’t trust you enough with their emotional well-being. They don’t even have the luxury of venting out their anxiety. Just as men will never truly feel what it is like for a woman to live her life with her guard up, looking over her shoulder, a Hindu will never truly know what it is to live as a minority in India - your identity under threat 24x7. From casual remarks in social circles to outright hatred being peddled in the media and on the streets, every single Muslim citizen is in some form of anguish over what’s happening, no matter where in the country they live. This is not who we once aspired to be. Everyone who has chosen to stay quiet when the fringe was just fringe - has enabled this venomous ecosystem our future generations will grow up in. "I have *minority* friends” is a statement to make yourself feel better. They are not specimen samples to prove your misguided sense of inclusivity. We all have hate-spewing relatives, friends, colleagues and neighbours. Call out their bigotry to their face or disconnect/distance from them. Please exit that toxic WhatsApp group. We are far too deep within the rot to simply "adjust". Do you realise that if those brainwashed youth on the streets had access to education, they would have been demanding jobs instead of blood? It is easier for their masters to keep their raging testosterone occupied with destruction and unrest. None of those youth have any clue what their own religion stands for - let alone someone else’s. Their frustration with life and lack of purpose has been brutally and strategically weaponised. Maybe we don’t speak out enough because it is truly emotionally taxing to deal with trolls and online assault. Compare that to people who are likely to be ostracised, disenfranchised, or even killed for merely belonging to another religion or to a tribe that’s settled for centuries on valuable land. I pray to the universe that the hate doesn’t come to your door. That’s the nature of hate. Once released in the air, it finds its way into everyone’s nostrils. Remember… for the one in love with power, everyone else is the enemy. 💪🏻🇮🇳❤️

This was amazing!

Wrestlers full statement. For those who can't read Hindi: You all saw what happened with us on 28 May, you saw the way the police behaved with us. The urgency with which we were arrested when we were peacefully demonstrating. 1/n #WrestlersProtest

जिन लोगों ने ट्रक और टेम्पो के पीछे बेटी बचाओ लिखा है, क्या उन तक ख़बर पहुँचेगी कि जंतर-मंतर पर क्या हुआ है? क्या कल अख़बारों के पहले पन्ने पर दोनों तस्वीरें होगी या मैनेज हो जाएगा? नई संसद में ब्रजभूषण सिंह झक सफ़ेद कुर्ते में हैं और जंतर मंतर पर लड़कियाँ सड़क पर घसीटीं जा रही हैं। 28 मई ऐतिहासिक दिन है!
