The only thing I will say about that Bangladeshi couple that was executed in Saudi Arabia is that they found three pieces of the sacred cloth used to cover the Kaaba in Mecca on Jeffrey Epstein’s island. Hand delivered to him. Make of it what you will.

Top half- 2026 light work. Lower half- 2025 light work Both photos are of Park Street. The lower half shows Chandannagar style lighting work which is unique to Bengal only. This is intentionally done to deny us our own cultural legacy.

Hoping that some journalist associations or orgs can seriously pls file contempt petitions against the SC order today because cops clearly do not care and will continue detaining + blockade info dissemination as they please. @IndEditorsGuild @dhanyarajendran @DigipubIndia
UPDATE: On the detention of the woman journalist - Drish - who was detained earlier, Angad Mehta, the police official we were arguing with says he had no idea she was a journalist! And that he will order her release.

My father @TusharG was followed and taken to DN Nagar Police Station. Listen to the testimony of the driver who saw the state apparatus pick up a 66 year old unarmed descendent of India’s founders. “Bring my medicine” - his text to me. @RahulGandhi @SauravDassss @neha_aisa

If you're wondering why Musk is attacking Modi & India so casually, don't look further than this pic. Modi met him with flags like he's POTUS. Modi brought babus while Musk brought babies & babysitters. And then Modi eagerly tweeted the pic for likes. Elon reads Modi perfectly.

If Rajat Sethi is a 'political analyst' then BJPod is BJP's official podcast.
Have we misread Rahul Gandhi’s politics, as he recasts himself from dynast to anti-establishment challenger while portraying Modi as the new establishment? Watch as @RajatSethi86 responds. #RahulGandhi #Congress #IndianPolitics #BJP #Opposition #NewsToday | @sardesairajdeep @ashutosh83B

Saara naatak cricket wale nautanki fans ke liye hi karta BJP. At the India Panama football game, Vande Mataram didn't play. So when we say BJP has weaponised the sport don't come crying kaise bola JeSa ke baare mein.

Indian engineering education fetishizes obedience & confirmity. Many professors take pride in making Practical/Lab sessions ultra bureaucratic. Fear of failure is the main motivational driver. US Engg has it's problems but nothing little Indian colleges xitter.cf/DiscourseDancer/status…
Replying to @DiscourseDancer
Good scientists would have to get into philosophical questions too but our edu system isn’t geared toward it. Simply coz we don’t have time, we needed large manpower to fuel industrialization in our early years, way to get that was an easy solution oriented study of sciences./5

I see Engineering undergrad education in US and it is such a completely different thing than what I got in India! There's a distinct lack of default sadism & meanness in the faculty or senior students. Openness to questions, new ideas, & of course a more well rounded curriculum.
Replying to @DiscourseDancer
India is a great example, where kids mostly (assumption) urban, UC who aspire to end up in biz, research, IAS or tech jobs in India or abroad. Remember, significant chunk of our power structures are also owned by these people who on surface seem to prioritize STEM education. /3

It doesn’t produce top minds; it produces corporate slaves who can work with machines without actually using minds. Name one Nobel Prize winner from IIT? JNU has. & again, only a slave mentality makes you believe that brutality is expected. Why? Why does it have to be brutal?
It's a fcking STEM institute It's expected to be brutal as it produces top minds of country It's not some DU or JNU of liberal arts

If you're worried about what happened in Nandigram today, wait till you find out how Mamata Banerjee lost the Trinamool Congress symbol 🧵 The party split into two with both factions staking claim to it. The Election Commission asked both for documents (1/5)
