The first thing invaders target is a people’s heritage. Destroy the monuments, erase the memory and sever a society from its past.

“We have built a world with flawless logistics for war and broken logistics for food” - A rapper from Nepal
When customers ask why is Dal Makhni at 300 rs? My inner instinct is to show them the rental receipts but my business obligation is to tell them we use better quality ingredients 😭

Pakistan has 150+ UN-designated terrorists and terrorist organisations. India has none. Try harder to flip the narrative but start by explaining why Pakistan continues to provide space to terrorists who have long been intertwined with its state policy.

Iran’s President is in New York for the UN General Assembly while the US and Iran remain at war. Trump literally captured Venezuela’s president Maduro and brought him to New York earlier this year. So… what’s stopping him from doing the same to Pezeshkian? Midterms are coming. Asking for a friend.

Imagine a pharma company using Anthropic's model for years of R&D. Its researchers generate valuable experimental data, insights and discoveries while working through the platform. Even with strict data separation, the obvious concern is: What happens when the AI company itself enters the same market? If an AI company can learn from the scientific workflows it enables, improve its models, combine them with its own research capabilities and then use that advantage to build competing products.

Before elections: “Your vote is precious. We are your servants.” After elections: “Learn how to request me?” But the real question is: why is the citizen forced to bargain for a basic public service with his vote in the first place? Roads within urban areas are fundamentally a municipal function under the 74th Amendment’s framework the Twelfth Schedule explicitly includes “roads and bridges.” But there’s a catch: municipalities often depend heavily on State transfers and grants because their fiscal powers and resources are limited by the state framework. So you create elected local governments, give them responsibilities and then leave them financially constrained. And elected representatives aren't completely powerless either. MPLADS guidelines explicitly permit MPs to recommend construction of roads, approach roads and link roads. MLA-LAD schemes can also support local infrastructure where the concerned state has such a scheme. So if a road is genuinely stuck because of administrative or funding failure, the anger should first be directed at the system responsible for getting it built not at a citizen asking for it. India has achieved political democracy citizens vote, elect representatives and can remove them. But political democracy without adequate social and economic democracy can produce exactly this scene. If citizens have to threaten politicians with their vote to get a road, perhaps the problem isn't that citizens are asking for too much. Perhaps they are asking the political system to deliver what it promised.
Janta bhi matlab ek dum bewakoof hai. Raja sahab ne election time me khud ko "jan-sevak" aur tumhe "janta-janardan" kya bol diya, tum to khud ko relevant samajh kar accountability maangne lage. Hadd me raho bhai. Charno me let kar nivedan karna seekho.

The diesel was sent through “friendship pipelines,” saving Bangladesh around $100K in logistics. Bangladesh paid for the diesel but who paid for and built the pipeline that made this cheaper and easier? India solved the transportation and logistics problem, and you’re still acting ungrateful. Add the logistics cost to the bill, and the headline will be fixed.
Bangladesh buys 47 Lakh litre of Diesel from India. Here fixed your headline @ndtv

They should be replaced by Bangladesh or another reserve team. Their performance has been nothing short of a Tier-2/3 side. So their removal will not have any impact on the tournament.
🚨 BREAKING: Pakistan has refused to travel to India for the Asian Hockey Champions Trophy.

A 170-year-old newspaper struggling for eyeballs, and this is the headline. Since when did serving vegetarian food become a diplomatic offence? The BRICS dinner showcased Indian cuisine, including millet-based dishes. Millets aren’t some uniquely Indian imposition they’re cultivated across Asia and Africa and the UN’s FAO has highlighted their nutritional, climate-resilient and economic value for farmers globally. India also proposed the UN’s International Year of Millets 2023, specifically to promote their production and consumption worldwide. You can debate the menu. Calling vegetarian food an “imposition” preposterous. Apparently, serving healthy traditional food to visiting world leaders is now controversial.
India has been accused of trying to impose vegetarian standards after serving a meat-free menu to world leaders at the Brics summit. The New Delhi dinner, attended by leaders including Vladimir Putin of Russia and Masoud Pezeshkian, the Iranian president, featured more than 10 vegetarian dishes, prompting a domestic political row 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

66% of all the civil cases in India courts are related to land dispute. And most of the cases must be involving powerful politician or some politically connected individual. What about those friends ?
Days after an 81-year-old Mira Road resident met his schoolmate, PM #NarendraModi, alleging encroachment of his land in Bhayander by a construction firm owned by BJP #MLA Narendra Mehta, the politician said on Tuesday that he is giving up possession of the disputed land and surrendering the nod for construction granted to him for the plot. Mehta also said he was withdrawing a complaint he had earlier filed against the elderly man, Asgar Ali Vora.

Pakistan has a domestic security crisis: 1,139 terrorism deaths and 1,045 attacks in 2025 alone. Yet Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who also heads the PCB and ACC, is busy playing trophy politics. More interested in handing a trophy to a country that refused to accept one from him in the past than fixing the crisis at home. His priorities couldn’t be clearer.

Western support is weapons, intel and cash sent to keep Ukraine fighting. NATO promised Ukraine membership in 2008 and moved east for years. It does not excuse the invasion. It does mean this was not a one-sided morality play. After four-plus years, both sides are being externally funded. The West arms Ukraine. Russia sells crude. Calling only BRICS the enabler is a double standard.
While Ukraina is fighting for their country, BRICS keep enabling Russia’s war machine.
