“The biggest cultural shock I've ever experienced.”
A Romanian woman visiting New York says she was stunned by the amount of trash across the city on streets, railway tracks and public spaces.
The “Big Apple” has the resources. So why is basic cleanliness still such a struggle? Before lecturing the world, maybe clean your own backyard.

“Most of the time the mainstream press is very dismissive of BRICS. Until the BRICS meets. Then they get very worked up about it.”
— India's EAM Dr. S. Jaishankar
That hits the point.
When India hosts a major BRICS summit, diplomacy and the Global South should be the story not a carefully selected visual narrative of bicycles, rickshaws and “chaos.” 🇮🇳
This is no longer about “one unfortunate photograph of BRICS India 2026.” Look at the pattern. 👇
The same kind of carefully selected imagery was used across multiple international outlets to frame India’s BRICS 2026 summit through bicycles, three-wheelers and empty-looking roads.
🇺🇸 The New York Times used a photograph by Reuters photographer Francis Mascarenhas.
🇶🇦 Al Jazeera used another Francis Mascarenhas/Reuters photograph and writer Priyanka Shankar.
🇫🇷 France 24 used an AFP photograph by Sajjad Hussain.
🇺🇸 Spectrum News NY1 used an AP photograph by Manish Swarup.
Different outlets. Different agencies. Remarkably similar visual framing. And then we’re expected to believe the editorial choices are completely neutral?
India hosted BRICS. World leaders came to New Delhi. Diplomacy, trade, geopolitics and the Global South dominated the summit yet some international media repeatedly reached for imagery designed to make India look like a backdrop for bicycles and auto-rickshaws.
Photographs are not neutral when editors deliberately choose which reality the world gets to see.
That's all not a coincidence it's a planned Anti-India propaganda.

A Sri Lankan migrant worker, Sivarasa Anojan, is facing a death sentence in Saudi Arabia over a Facebook comment he posted during a dispute after a video showed a Muslim man kicking a pious dog named Subramaniam, which had accompanied pilgrims following Lord Murugan.
Anojan deleted the comment within minutes and later apologised, but screenshots had already circulated.
His original sentence was reportedly 5 years in prison, a 3 million Saudi Riyal (~$800,000) fine, device confiscation and social-media account closure.
His family appealed only for the punishment to reportedly escalate to death.
A deleted comment followed by an apology ending in a death sentence? This deserves scrutiny.

Nepal PM Balen Shah thanked India, China, the UN & others for supporting Nepal after the devastating floods.
But India’s response speaks for itself 🇮🇳:
- 141.5 tonnes of relief supplies via 9 IAF flights
- 5.5+ tonnes of medicines & medical aid
- Army medical teams & health camps
- Bailey Bridges to reconnect isolated areas
- Emergency power exports to support Nepal’s grid & hospitals
- 13-member Army technical & tunnel-rescue team
- Specialized equipment deployed alongside Nepali forces to rescue trapped workers
When Nepal needed help, India didn’t just send words. India sent men, machines, medicines and material. 🇮🇳🤝🇳🇵

You can manufacture narratives about India. You can’t manufacture the warmth of its people. 🇮🇳❤️

Bloomberg wants to discuss India's aviation market but why does every India story they present with a poverty-stricken visual? With world-class airports in Delhi and Mumbai, they had plenty of better options.
This piece by Brown Sepoy Mihir Mishra uses a photo credited to another Brown Sepoy Sauraabh Sirohiya of NurPhoto Agency.
The obsession with showcasing India through poverty imagery is worth calling out. India has changed. Maybe the imagery should too. 🇮🇳
India is discussing a proposal to waive a rule that bars New Delhi and Mumbai airport operators from owning more than a 10% stake in airlines as the government aims to tackle the IndiGo-Air India duopoly bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Meet Nepali Brown Sepoy Biswas Baral who is spreading hate against India & Hindus. The Diplomat’s framing is deeply misleading.
Nepal’s Hindu identity did not suddenly emerge from “India’s majoritarianism.” Nepal was officially a Hindu kingdom until 2007, with its own deep civilizational roots.
Reducing Nepal’s complex social dynamics to an “Indian influence” narrative is lazy and risks creating an artificial India-Nepal divide and spreading venom against Hindus of India & Nepal.
The number of Hindu-Muslim clashes in Nepal is growing as India’s brand of Hindu majoritarianism gains ground in its neighbor. buff.ly/G7t9E9q

An Indian woman says her backpack was stolen by two women wearing burqas while she was travelling through Austria.
She says she extracted surveillance footage with help from the hostel receptionist and provided the manager's contact details to police.

A Bangladeshi man says: “We are Bengali Muslims, our ideal is Muhammad Ali Jinnah. We love him… He gave us a Muslim country. Tagore was a Hindu, and we hate him.”
He is an enemy of Muslims. We will not allow the practice of Rabindranath Tagore’s culture in Bangladesh.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s own Constitution says its national anthem is the first 10 lines of “Amar Sonar Bangla”, written by Rabindranath Tagore.
