Secularism that celebrates diversity, imbibes multiple cultures and is home to all religions. That's what India has been for centuries. Now under threat, again.

When a government encourages scientific temper, promotes education, brings laws to punish superstition, gives voice to the downtrodden, it creates a thinking population that is aware and can bring down the same government. On the other hand...

If you want to understand the State of India’s education and our priorities, read this:
1. In Hyderabad, a university declared a holiday so that students can watch a movie.
2. In West Bengal, the Madhyamik exams were postponed as teachers were on census duty.
3. In Bareilly, schools were shut for a BJP padyatra about protecting democracy!!
4. In Ladakh, a school run by Soman Wangchuk is being asked to shut down.
5. In mumbai, 24 of the total 34 teachers of one school were moved to booth level officer duties.
6. In Karnataka, students got less scores as teachers busy on SIR duty couldn’t teach.
7. In Maharashtra, the election commission recommended alternate days of schooling so that teachers can do election related work.
8. In Maharashtra, 95 FIRs were filed against teachers who refused election work.
9. In Orissa, all schools were closed in a city during the PM’s visit.
10. Calcutta University moved its exams as Central forces were housed in 12 of its affiliated colleges and there was no space to hold exams.
Demographic dividend, any one?

चलिए, अडानी जी के NDTV पर ही बहस कर लेते हैं, मोदी जी।
मंच आपका, जज भी आपका - अडानी जी हों या मोहन भागवत जी।
मैं गारंटी देता हूँ - सिर्फ़ 5 मिनट में साबित कर दूँगा कि नरेंद्र मोदी देशद्रोही हैं।

American Kangana.
I hate to say it, but America is over. The communists and jihadists are going to open our borders and replace our votes with votes from illegals aliens. We now have reps who openly speak about their hatred of America, their love of communism and their support for sharia law.
We won’t be able to undo the damage they cause on our country come 2028.
America 250 was a funeral.
The American Dream is dead.

180 votes in favour, no absentations and only two votes against it - Modi's India and Bibi's Israel. The company we keep.

Bakwas reasoning. As a Hindutva stooge, you should be worried that Indian Americans are rejecting Islamophobia.

The rate at which the BJP flips, it should be called the Bharatiya Janata Palti.
With elections approaching in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Manipur and Himachal Pradesh - states with high per capita recruitment rates in the Indian Armed Forces - the government has announced a major change to the Agniveer scheme.
Under the revised arrangement:
1️⃣ The existing provision to absorb 25% of Agniveers into the regular cadre remains.
2️⃣ The remaining 75% will now be offered a two-year extension of their engagement.
3️⃣ At the end of these two years, they will also have the opportunity to apply for regular enrolment, subject to their willingness and objective selection criteria.
This is a significant departure from the original four-year exit arrangement.
Shri @RahulGandhi has repeatedly warned that the Agniveer scheme is unsustainable and demanded that the government reconsider it.
Today's announcement brings those concerns back into focus.
Yet another "I told you so" moment for Rahul Ji.
#WATCH | Delhi: Chief of Defence Staff General NS Raja Subramani says, "... 25% of those (Agniveers) who complete their initial four-year engagement period will be enrolled as regular soldiers. Regarding the remaining 75%, the Indian Defence Forces have recommended—and the Cabinet has approved today—that they be granted a second engagement period of two years. Upon completing this two-year extension, all these Agniveers will be offered the opportunity to enroll as regular soldiers in the Indian Armed Forces, contingent upon their own willingness and their ability to meet objective selection criteria."

Wtf!
Adani Airport CEO Arun Bansal likens foreign airlines to tenants and the airport operator to a landlord, telling carriers to either shift to Navi Mumbai or stop flying to Mumbai.

Abdul El-Sayed to JD Vance:
JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you're constitutionally obligated to swear me in in January.

Horrifying.
This 10-hectare pond in Nerul is home to thousands of migratory flamingos every year.
Now, CIDCO wants to build homes there and even puts a cost to it—Rs 3600 crore “loss” if it is not developed.
How can a city planning authority like @CIDCO_Ltd be so utterly uneducated about the environment?

She comes from a prominent family in the part of Karnataka, India, that they're from. Her grandfather was a politician who still has an intersection named after him today, along with his own wiki entry.
