The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) bloc’s planned “public impeachment” of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral manipulation through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls will avoid imagery that could be seen as mocking Parliament as an institution.

শুভ বিজয়া 🙏 Subho Bijoya to all!
As Maa Durga leaves for Kailash, here's a treasure from our home: an original chromolithograph from the late 19th or early 20th century, printed at the Kansaripara Art Studio, 26 Kristo Dass Pal Lane, Calcutta.
Prints like this brought the Durga Puja image into ordinary Bengali and Assamese homes earlier. Durga stands with Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha and Kartik beneath a painted chalchitra.
May the Mother's blessings bring peace and prosperity to all.

Politely disagree on AAP: its road to retaining power is extremely difficult. Congress is in fight only due to people's longing for alternative politics and not due to its groundwork. BJP could make rural inroads. SAD is still toiling to revive. WPD may play spoilsport. @fewcan

It’s been six days since this remarkable woman of Indian origin (see her story, attached) won the #NobelPeacePrize. And the Government of India, her ancestral homeland, hasn’t so much as congratulated her?! Shame on the petty men who have made such a deplorable decision.

Jantar Mantar being denotified as a protest site is not a new phenomenon. Over the years successive Govts have attempted to increase the distance between protesters and seats of power.

“YOU TERRORIST, WHY DID YOU COME HERE”
Muhammad Yunus has fled Bangladesh and been spotted at JFK airport with the same concubine he has been involved in a relationship for years, while leaving his sick wife at home, now facing peak humiliation and public anger.

The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Monday (October 12, 2026) compared the repeated protests by the Opposition against alleged “vote chori “ (theft) to Lord Shiva’s tandav (cosmic dance), while claiming that Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar had sent him messages.

Breaking: at least six more journalists detained, shoved into a van by Delhi Police as they were asking the cops about the detention of a journalist moments ago at the same location.
As I question the police, one of them tells me: ‘this is not the right time to ask anything’.
