Her ethnicity has nothing to do with her personal life. Congratulate her for the good person she is, not because her ancestors come from India.
It’s been six days since this remarkable woman of Indian origin (see her story, attached) won the #NobelPeacePrize. And the Government of India, her ancestral homeland, hasn’t so much as congratulated her?! Shame on the petty men who have made such a deplorable decision.

Each seat was important for winning West Bengal assembly elections for BJP. Yusuf Pathan was given a plot, in Baroda. The total market value of the land is estimated at ₹20.53 crore, based on a valuation of ₹2.10 lakh. It was a gift for quitting TMC. Election commission successfully deleted TMC votes, and leaders were bought. That's how BJP remains in power without mandate and GenZ is on roads.

THE WHY IS THE STORY. Yusuf Pathan sought a municipal plot in Vadodara in 2012. The proposal was rejected by the Gujarat government in 2014. In 2024, the BJP-controlled VMC served him an encroachment notice. The land was valued at ₹20.5 crore. Now, two months after he quit TMC, Gujarat proposes to GIFT him 500 sq m and sell him another 478 sq m at a 45% discount. What changed? Why should a disputed public plot be gifted to a politician on such sweet terms?

978 sq.mt. piece of land is all it took for Yusuf to betray the party who fielded him and the voters who voted for him. How did Didi go so wrong in selecting people ?

I fear the good but naive people of India are being misled into believing that enriching a handful of billionaires is the same as developing a nation. Wealth concentrated in a few coffers is not national prosperity. And no amount of wishful thinking will magically turn India into a developed nation by 2047.

Abhijeet Dipke threw Prashant Bhushan and Neha Bora under the bus at midnight to save his own skin. That's not leadership, that's cowardice. CJP is not a resistance movement. It's a controlled demolition of opposition energy; the IAC 2.0 playbook: hijack the anger, scatter the focus, protect the regime by pretending to fight it. Remember what Anna Hazare's movement delivered? AAP. And what did AAP deliver? A decade of vote-splitting that kept BJP comfortable in state after state. Dipke distances himself from "regime change" while his own co-agitators were literally invoking it, drawing parallels with neighbouring countries. You don't get to run a fire and then claim you're fighting it. India's real constitutional battle needs clarity, not charismatic opportunists who bolt the moment BJP quotes them. Stay away from CJP. Stay away from Dipke. Before this becomes another movement that exhausts the opposition base and hands Modi another term gift-wrapped.

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke has sought to distance his organisation’s agitation against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar from the broader “regime change” narrative, asserting that the protest was aimed at securing the CEC’s removal and not a change of government. “We are not saying we want to change the government… or we want to do something with it. We are simply saying that the Chief Election Commissioner who is rigging elections, who is not listening to his fellow Election Commissioners and who is not listening to the Supreme Court should be removed and a new Election Commissioner should be appointed in an independent and unbiased manner,” Dipke said at a late-night press conference in New Delhi.

Modi's biggest achievement in 13 years is building a very strong and almost violent culture of anti-intellectualism. He has dragged the nation into a cesspool of infinite mediocrity, covered with limitless arrogance. Ambition is now equal to achievement. And his Bhakts actually believe every lie being peddled, despite stark proofs visible to naked eye. The loss is generational. By the time he's done with the country, there'd be little left. It'll be back to building from near scratch.

Rahul Gandhi, in first reaction, sent condolences to loss of lives during Kolkata Stampede and urged Congress workers to send help. Some Neech Political Leader in his place would have said it’s God’s message to change Government. But there is a difference between Class and Crass

Mr Rubio has summoned his employee to Mumbai. Modi ji, your officials in the External Affairs Ministry are confused about what's going on. You might want to explain. Unless, of course, you want me to.

Padmaja, let me explain this like you’re five. 😂 This country is our home. We hire a caretaker, pay him with our taxes, and trust him to run it. Now imagine that caretaker gets so arrogant that he starts acting like the owner. And when the family questions him, he demands his permission before anyone can complain. Sounds ridiculous, right? That’s exactly how your argument sounds. The Supreme Court said protesters can’t block public roads indefinitely. It didn’t hand the government a free pass to silence dissent. The government is our servant, not our master. We don’t live at its mercy.
Claim: Right to protest is a ‘fundamental right’, we don’t need permission. Fact: here is what Supreme Court of India has said: ‘Democracy and dissent go hand in hand’ ‘Demonstration of this dissent cannot occupy public ways and spaces indefinitely’ ‘Cant have demonstration to the detriment of other citizens’ ‘Concerned authorities must take action to keep public areas free of encroachments and obstructions’ *SC Judgment of October 7, 2020

"If you believe Gyanesh made mistakes prove it with evidence. Don't do violence and Don't call someone a chaiwala when they hold a respected position." — Anupam Kher, Bollywood Actor Mr. Anupam Kher, I agree. Violence and personal insults have no place in a democracy. But neither does blind deference to authority. Holding a respected position does not automatically make someone worthy of respect. Respect must be earned through integrity, transparency and accountability. And demanding evidence must go hand in hand with demanding answers.

Sick of this ‘Regime Change’ panic. Apparently when BJP topples govt by buying MLAs it’s not regime change. It’s just ‘patloon change’ 👖

In Kolkata BJP Government painted the Roads. Nobody thought that it is a safety hazard. In first rain, bikes skid and there were accidents. So they now cleaned the paint. The roads after cleaning will be exactly as it was weeks ago. But in between, someone made tons of money
