This beautiful symmetry that we see in Delhi like in Washington and Paris would have never existed if New Delhi was built by Indians

Hate towards Indians has increased because exposure to Indians has increased
Everyone who meets Indians, including other Indians, ends up hating them
Indian hate is a consequence of Indian behavior
Anti-South Asian hate online has more than tripled since 2024, fueled by xenophobia, conspiracy theories, and politicians willing to legitimize them.
South Asian Americans belong here. We will not be intimidated, scapegoated, or pushed out of public life. npr.org/2026/10/04/nx-s1-598…

Europe has only four homegrown entries in the global top 50 for generative AI mobile apps (two from Russia and one each from Italy and France).
China has 22 and the United States 15.
Make of that what you will.

Immerhin, sie ist vergoldet. Der dänische Künstler Jens Galschiøt zeigt im EU-Parlament eine Statue von US-Präsident Donald Trump – splitterfasernackt. Der Name der Arbeit: »Orange Plague«. Wie es dazu kam. Link in X-Bio.

Interesting.
Jos. A. Bank suits are all made overseas, typically in countries like China and Bangladesh. They carry an associate label called Joseph Abboud, which is made in the United States.
I wonder why Trump choose the cheap import over the US-made suit.

We have been informed that several male Delhi Police officers are allegedly GROPING women protesters.
This is unprecedented and activists who have taken part in hundreds of protests in last many decades have NEVER seen this kind of behaviour from the police’s side.
Last time, the Delhi Police resorted to immense brutality, breaking skulls and fracturing bones of peaceful protesters.
Is the plan this time to molest women who have been leading these protests? Just because you can’t break open their skulls? IT’S A BIG SHAME and a matter of GRAVE CONCERN.
At the same time, we have been informed that lady police officers are being instructed to allege harassment by male protesters. You will see some such videos circulating.
NEVER has any peaceful protester resorted to violence against the police. NEVER have they resorted to such cheap tactics against any woman, forget lady police officers.
This is a clear-cut attempt to malign peaceful protesters, the movement, and the young generation. It is utterly condemnable. @CPDelhi—tell us. Are these the instructions you are giving to your “brave” men? To molest women? Is this the instruction from Amit Shah?
WE WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS.
The Police is paid by OUR money. We the people are the masters. I would urge all protesters to stay vigilant and film these Police men seen groping or molesting women protesters.
Together, we will hold them to account and make an example out of such perverts in uniform.
No MSME can prosper when the economy is dead and compromised
Big boost for the MSME sector!
This Cabinet decision is a major step towards creating the next generation of Indian business leaders.
It offers the platform for SMEs to scale up, adopt advanced technologies, expand manufacturing, enter global markets and integrate with global value chains.

India leaves more than 130 million names off draft voter rolls more than Japan’s entire population
It is compulsory for police personnel in India to wear a visible nameplate while on official duty
It is concerning that Supreme Court of India has not taken cognisance and ordered @DelhiPolice

and all reforms BJP pushed targeted workers, soldiers, students, and farmers
No reforms to judiciary, police, or bureaucracy and elections
BJP is struggling in the narrative war against the CJP, despite it being a minuscule challenge compared to what the party has faced in the past.
The most significant challenge was the farmers' protest. It was led by a tightly-knit, influential community with substantial financial resources, a strong influence on popular culture, and international backing; nevertheless, the BJP was winning the narrative, (until it suddenly gave up). It was a similar story with the anti-CAA protests. The party was pitted against widespread mobilization with low threshold for violence as well as intense domestic and global media scrutiny, yet it still came out on top in shaping public opinion.
So, what changed? Why are they losing ground against a far less threatening movement? The missing link is the loss of an organic groundswell of independent support.
The primary backbone of the BJP's narrative strategy was the everyday citizen, individuals who were ideologically aligned, unaffiliated with any party apparatus, and driven by personal conviction. These ordinary supporters possessed a level of authentic credibility and societal influence that no organized digital cell or party spokesperson could ever replicate. They actively countered opposing views in daily social circles, local communities, and online spaces, acting as an unscripted, highly effective buffer for the party's image.
However, years of unaddressed policy grievances, perceived arrogance, and repeated political oversights have gradually alienated many of this non-party baseline. As these independent voice-carriers drop away or choose silence, the party is left relying almost entirely on formal communications and coordinated IT cell campaigns, which were always insufficient for winning over public sentiment on their own.

According to Dainik Bhaskar, Gyanesh Kumar's Mother is 76 and he is 62... a gap of just 14 years.
Meanwhile, SIR sends notices to ordinary voters if the age gap between them and their parents is under 15 years.
So if the CEC himself fits the "discrepancy" criteria, why isn't his name on that list?
The joke being played on the public needs to stop.

Shazam could name any song back in 2002, on flip phones, with zero AI. You dialed the number 2580, held your phone up to the speaker, and hung up. 15 seconds later, a text came back with the song name. That same core trick still runs the app today.
The inventor was Avery Wang, a Stanford PhD in audio signal processing. His problem was brutal. Match a short clip recorded on a 2002 cell phone mic, in a noisy bar, against a database of a million songs, in seconds, over a phone call.
His solution treated music as geometry instead of sound.
The algorithm converts audio into a spectrogram, a picture of the song, then throws almost all of it away. It keeps only the peaks, the loudest frequency points at each moment in time. Bar chatter and blown-out speakers can wreck most of a recording. The peaks survive. Shazam only ever needed the peaks.
Those surviving points form what Wang called a constellation map, because it looks like a star field. Pairs of peaks get converted into hash numbers, and identifying a song becomes a dictionary lookup rather than an audio comparison. That made it fast enough to search a million tracks on 2002 hardware.
Wang published the full method openly in 2003 in a paper called "An Industrial-Strength Audio Search Algorithm." Anyone could read exactly how the magic worked. The moat was the database and the deals with carriers, never the secret.
Apple bought the company in 2018 for a reported $400 million. People have tagged over 100 billion songs since the very first one, Jeepster by T. Rex, during the beta in April 2002.
One deterministic signal-processing trick, written before most people had heard the phrase machine learning, and it's still so good that in 2026 everyone assumes it must be AI.
