How can 4 million tons of coal just disappear? Every day, corruption in this country surprises me.

Living in 100% Amrit Kaal, driving 80% ethanol cars, breathing 60% polluted air, drinking 40% adulterated milk, in an education system with 20% credibility, to get killed with 0% dignity, by USA missiles, by mob lynchings, by a badly made bridge or a pothole, or just a stampede.

Anil Masih was caught on camera tampering with ballot papers. What consequences did he face? None. Not even an FIR. Now we have a case involving the gross abuse of power by the Returning Officer in the Meenakshi Natarajan case. By the time her election petition, if she files one, is decided, her opponent may well have completed his tenure. We are a country where jokes, unfavourable media reports, and even comedy often attract harsher reaction from the courts than the actions of authorities entrusted with maintaining the rule of law and upholding democratic principles. Those authorities face little to no accountability for failing miserably to discharge their responsibilities and for abusing the powers vested in them.

The funny thing to read is the 2 rupee right wing trolls in the replies of the idiot rw lead. They're all like "Yes, I will ask people to not reshare", "I agree it's clear he's being sarcastic". Lol.
If you plan a hoax, the enemy's side should think it's real and then get embarrassed when reality is out. If your own side thought it to be real and now needs to delete tweets, you played a hoax on your own side 😂👅 Either you are a dumb planner, or you're on enemy's side.

Why have public buses stopped having rooftop vents for hot air to escape? Such an easy way for some amount of cooling to happen, but it's all sealed now. We need to think basic design for people to be comfortable. #Kolkata #PublicTransport

India has gone from being a service economy to a giant strip mining operation and it shows.

Agar Musalman Masjid mein, "I Love Mohammad" ke poster nahin lagayenge to kya JSR ke poster lagayenge? And they sealed the Masjid for that, registered FIR against 7 Muslims. If this is not a text book case of Apartheid in Hindu Rashtra then what is?

⏳ How do you act on a problem that refuses to fit inside data? Sand mining in rivers is a wicked problem to track. @sidagarwal from @veditum will share at #VizChitra2026 how India Sand Watch became an open-data effort around that challenge. More: vizchitra.com/2026/sessions/…

Even in the face of rising climate change effects, it's still easier to raise money for talking big (without actually changing or challenging status quo) as opposed to doing small or big (but challenging status quo or changing it by a centimetre).

I always romanticise sincerity and sincere love. Insincerity is not worth the little time we have.

People deserve rights, freedom, and protection whether or not the majority understands the concept. Similarly for the environment. Laws are designed to ensure dignity, equity, and justice. We cannot leave things to organic behavioural change only, when systems are broken.

I really wish the prime minister travels to more countries at the top of the press freedom index. Weird behaviour enabled and made acceptable by India's godi media at full display here. Just no applause.
THIS IS PEAK WHATABOUTERY 🔥 REPORTER: Why should Norway trust India when fundamental rights are being violated? MEA: We have Gandhi, ancient civilisation, and a Constitution that guarantees fundamental rights. REPORTER 🎯: Exactly. I know India has fundamental rights. That is why I asked about violations. MEA: If rights are violated, people can go to court. 😐 REPORTER: That’s the point. Why are people forced to go to court for basic rights? MEA: It’s my press conference. I will decide. REPORTER: When will PM take free questions from the press? MEA: Next question.

If only throwing of toxic chemicals, untreated sewage, plastic bags, & the such into the Ganga hurt religious sentiments. But that would mean the need for self inquiry, a reduction in consumption, discomfort, and asking questions to the powerful. Manufactured otherness is easier

Wah kya scene hai!
CJI Surya Kant says there are "parasites" attacking the system. "There are youngsters like cockroaches, who don't get any employment and don't have any place in the profession. Some of them become media, some of them become social media, some of them become RTI activists, some of them become other activists, and they start attacking everyone." - CJI.
