English has always been my “no-go zone.” I can read it, write it, but speaking English was never my cup of tea. Today, I’m trying to change that. This is the first time I’m reporting in English. Posting this video not because it’s perfect, but because I want to step out of my comfort zone. Trying & Learning.

#TheBuckStopsHere: "Don't know what he had in his hand" — Sahil's parents on exam CCTV row. Watch @PadmajaJoshi

Important intervention by former CJI of India, who - it pains one to add that such an addendum is required, but it is relevant - is himself from the SC community and follows Baudha Dharma. The retired judge speaks in favour of the so-called creamy layer principle to SC/ST quotas.

Will CEC resign? 8 PM

Former CJI BR Gavai: I have seen misuse of SC/ST law, just like what happens with the Domestic Violence Act. He also rues how his own community criticised him when he sought exclusion of creamy layer from reservation benefits piped.video/Eh5j-RHHXis

LoP Rahul Gandhi to address a press conference today on SIR and Election Commission Before that, Congress announces nationwide agitation and protest against EC from the 25th. Instructions given to all state units

Former CJI BR Gavai makes the case, once again, for a creamy layer within SC/ST reservation, drawing on his own example. He first raised it in the 2024 judgment on sub-classification of Scheduled Castes. Since then, the question has moved beyond the courtroom. Kirori Lal Meena's call for reform, followed by remarks from OP Rajbhar and Jitan Ram Manjhi, has opened a debate within the community itself. Watch his conversation with @PadmajaJoshi.

Breaking on #TheBuckStopsHere. CCTV footage from the day Sahil Wakode was asked to leave exam hall allegedly after being found engaging in academic malpractice. Take a close look at what the CCTV a footage shows.

IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw made a startling claim on NDTV, when he said there were efforts underway to sabotage India’s Semiconductor Mission and similar attempts were made against other industrial projects as well.

Education Ministry’s response to Parliament question about student suicides across premier institutes between 2018-2023. Here’s the data.

Lady Shri Ram College has shifted its classes online. This follows the rape or a minor in Astha Kunj Park, close to the college. Why should the young women be confined, when the problem lies elsewhere?

As India scales up on semiconductors, Union Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw's sabotage attempt revelation in an exclusive interview with NDTV's @PadmajaJoshi triggers furious storm Who wants India's chip dream to fail?

This was the minister responding to what made him record a reel explaining the journey of a semiconductor chip. His answer: I simply enjoy the subject

A meeting with anti-UGC protestors that no one had an inkling of, followed by a tweet at 2:11 am. Union Ministers’ meeting with Karni Sena, after anti-reservation protestors shows how they’re walking on eggshells on this issue. #PoliticsZindabad

Shame.

Thank you
