All the good 2047 stuff postponed to 2057 then?

These are meant to distract, change the narrative.
Yogi Adityanath’s reported call to demolish Hyderabad’s iconic Charminar has sparked outrage and raised serious concerns about the protection of India’s cultural heritage. India’s diversity is its strength, and the government must respect the history, heritage and cultural identity of every region.

If there's an award for being an absolute legend at everything you do, just hand it to Shaun Pollock already! Almost 30 years of watching him and I still can't get over how effortlessly brilliant this man is. the admiration just keeps growing 🫡

Assume this is correct: Isn't it in the BJP's interests to maintain status quo, thereby continuing to weaken the Opposition? Why bang on about it? "Never interrupt an enemy when he is making a mistake", someone said. Or is the banging-on a sign of nervousness?

Folks, we custom-built an escape-room like game! Dogfooded it internally, and was a riot. 90-minutes. An Alter event unlike any other. (would expect nothing less) A cracking article that takes you on a rich and complex journey on how India saved the tiger. Only 50 spots!
In the 1970s, scientists from an institution wanted to study tigers in India. They were turned away amid war and suspicion of CIA links. They took their research to Nepal instead, and their work there ended up proving India’s tiger count wrong. This institution was founded in 1846 with money bequeathed by a British chemist who never once set foot in the country that now hosts it. Its collections include the Hope Diamond, Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, and Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. Name the institution. (answer in the next tweet) Alter Issue #7 event is a riot for all. It decodes India's rich history in saving the big cat. But... But... We custom-built a game for the event. 50 people in one room with ninety minutes to untangle an escape-room puzzle that will stretch your mind, test your friendships, and demand you win over a room of rivals and allies. The objective is simple: FIND THE TIGER. 📅 31st October 🕒 3:00 pm 📍 Sthala (MG Road) 💺 50 seats REGISTER ASAP: luma.com/ghyfu6jt

This is a "World Summit" of what, exactly?
जो जंगलों में विनाश करते थे, वो अब कांग्रेस में घुसकर देश का सर्वनाश करने पर तुले हुए हैं। - प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी

Somehow, @srajagopalan and @lachygroom have managed to fund a hard-tech revolution in India. There's something rather massive going on, and everyone else has missed it. Our story - corememory.com/p/a-new-india…

Who is Mohan Bhagwat to lecture the nation? Head of an unregistered, amorphous organisation that answers to no law, no accountability, and no Constitution. Yet @RajatSharmaLive presents him as the conscience-keeper of India. This is the same Bhagwat who stays silent when citizens are lynched, silent on SIR irregularities that disenfranchise millions, silent on the systematic othering of minorities, and silent as democratic institutions are hollowed out. Forked tongue. Selective morality. Zero legitimacy.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has warned those who are talking about regime change through public unrest. He said, democracy in India has strong roots; neither did regime change happen in the past nor will it happen in future. Bhagwat said, those who do not agree with the conspiracy for regime change should look at what is happening in France, Italy and Albania. The RSS chief’s message is clear : both the RSS and BJP are on the same page as far as anti-Modi protests are concerned. Bhagwat lashed out at Prashant Bhushan’s ‘regime change’ remark and Neha Bora’s call for a Bangladesh-type revolt. He is quite clear that the agitation against CEC is only a façade and the real aim is to unseat Narendra Modi. Modi's opponents are going to find Mohan Bhagwat's another comment hard to swallow. Bhagwat said, the RSS, through its vast network, contacted nearly 10 crore families across India, organized 'yuva sammelans', and directly contacted more than 3.9 million youths. All anti-Modi political parties, left outfits and so-called civil society people combined do not have the strength to match the RSS even one per cent, as far as direct contact is concerned.

*sigh* Mujib's post clearly says "I can understand" pseudonyms for whistleblowers.
The @nytimes set the precedent when it published Miles Davis, the White House whistleblower, , anonymously. Perhaps you could direct this criticism at your editors? Personally, what was good with George Orwell—Assistant Superintendent of Police Eric Blair—is fine with me.

Also, why does the court think it can determine who can speak for GenZ?
At 27 and 31, they are both Gen Z by widely accepted definitions. But more importantly since when did generational labels become a matter for judicial determination? Surely the HC has more substantive questions to address than whether someone qualifies as Gen Z!
