There cannot be a more factual and sharper analysis of the SIR than this by @PrannoyRoy7749 on @DeKoderAI . Telling words from Dr. Roy of a strong positive correlation between the BJP winning all those seats in Bengal where the voter deletions were the highest!! #votechoriexposed
How the SIR deletions affect the Bengal election results? Were certain categories of voters targeted and if so, what were the consequences?
Does the analysis of Bengal elections suggest any lessons for the forthcoming state elections?
Prannoy Roy (@PrannoyRoy7749) uses data on SIR deletions and swings in votes to answer these and other questions about the impact of SIR on the Bengal elections.
Watch the full analysis and follow DeKoder for more.

@sakshijoshii will you care or dare to comment on this👇🏻 or is your outrage selective?
BJP leaders and certain members of the Godi media who are having problems with Pulkit Mani’s act with Rahul Gandhi Ji must watch this.
Was making fun of a national-level leader like this okay? Was mocking a dyslexic child nice then?
These people have no moral ground to speak about anything.

An extremely valid observation of a fact from the Hon. Supreme Court. This should hopefully open many closed and/or biased minds on the origins of the Urdu language and how it is such an integral part of India’s rich composite culture-Ganga Jamuni tehzeeb!

Thank you @virsanghvi for this fantastic article. Provides a very objective and fair assessment of a great son of India and a guru to many world leaders- Vishvaguru by deeds not by empty bombast. #ManmohanSinghRIP

#ManmohanSingh ji was a giant, respected by world leaders for his wisdom and knowledge. His role in transforming India’s economy is unparalleled. His early struggles in life were daunting but he never made a show of it or used it for creating fake public sympathy. Go well Sir!
Manmohan Singh Ji led India with immense wisdom and integrity. His humility and deep understanding of economics inspired the nation.
My heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Kaur and the family.
I have lost a mentor and guide. Millions of us who admired him will remember him with the utmost pride.

RIP #ManmohanSingh ji. Thank you for your outstanding services to the nation. You laid the foundations of an aspirational India, lifted millions from poverty and deprivation and gave this country its rightful place in the international arena. Rest in eternal peace Sir!!
Gandhi aur unkay vichar sada Amar rahengay!
ये गांधी फिल्म का एक दृश्य है।
चंपारण के आंदोलन के बाद गांधी जी को गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया।
जब उन्हें अदालत में पेश किया गया तो अंग्रेज जज उनके सम्मान में अपनी कुर्सी से खड़ा हो गया।
और रिटायरमेंट के बाद या इस्तीफा देकर, जज साहब के कांग्रेस जॉइन करने के कोई सबूत नहीं मिले हैं।

Deeply touching tribute to Nehru on his death by the great Marathi poet Narayan Surve!
नारायण सुर्वे की कहानी कल पढ़ी होगी आपने। उनकी मृत्यु के कई सालों बाद जब उनके घर में एक चोर घुसा और चोरी के बाद उसे एहसास हुआ कि यह नारायण सुर्वे का घर है तो उसने माफी की स्लिप लगा दी और लौट गया।
उनकी एक कविता जो उन्होंने जवाहरलाल नेहरू की मृत्यु पर लिखी थी (Thread में अंग्रेज़ी अनुवाद)
जब नेहरू गुजर गए
घर अपनी पीठ पर बोझ लिए बैठे गुनगुनाने लगे
कैसे शहर धूसर हुआ, फिर काला हो गया
और... अंधकार ने उजाले को निगल लिया।
पत्थरों में सजी फैक्ट्रियाँ
सिगार जलाते हुए विचारों में खो गईं।
फिर...
गीली शर्टें कंधों पर डाले
शेड्स की ओर मुड़ गईं।
'क्या हुआ, सुंदरे!... आज अगरबत्ती मत जलाना!... नेहरू नहीं रहे!'
'सच में? तो आज की छुट्टी ले लेते हैं! ...
बोझ उठाए दुनिया बिस्तर पर ढह गई।
मैं चलता रहा, उदास और अकेला
कैसी भयावह लग रही थीं सड़कों, कागज के शंकु में रोशनी ले जाता ठेला खींचने वाला।
मैंने पूछा,
"तुम अब यह रोशनी क्यों ले जा रहे हो?"
'ओह, साहब;
आगे अंधकार है, दांत निपोरते हुए!'
यह कहानी है जब नेहरू गुजर गए!

The root cause of an increasing social and economic inequality in India👇🏻Policies designed to favour a few against the rest.
Wow! Because of note ban, GST and Covid, an economic loss of Rs 11.3 lakh crore. About 1.6 crore jobs lost, as 63 lakh informal enterprises shut down.
This is outright destruction of the mainstay of Indian economy for a majority of Indians.

Couldn’t agree more! If there is one person who has borne everything stoically, it is you @RahulGandhi Your journey has been beyond inspirational and a lesson in resilience and humility! Stay that way even as you scale greater heights with your feet firmly on the ground!
You kept standing, no matter what they said and did to you…you never backed down whatever the odds, never stopped believing however much they doubted your conviction, you never stopped fighting for the truth despite the overwhelming propaganda of lies they spread, and you never allowed anger and hatred to overcome you, even when they gifted it to you every day. You fought with love, truth and kindness in your heart. Those who could not see you, see you now, but some of us have always seen and known you to be the bravest of all.
@RahulGandhi, I am proud to be your sister ❤️

An inclusive India backed by an enduring Constitution is Nehru’s greatest contribution to a young nation. He was blessed with an encyclopaedic knowledge of world affairs, had a towering presence among contemporaries &earned the respect of friends and foes alike. #RememberingNehru
आज जवाहरलाल नेहरू की 60वीं पुण्य तिथि है।
22 मई, 1964 को नेहरू ने सामान्य रूप से लगभग हर महीने होने वाली प्रेस वार्ता की थी। उस वार्ता के अंत में उनसे जब उत्तराधिकार के बारे में पूछा गया तब उन्होंने मज़ाक में जवाब दिया था: "मेरा जीवन इतनी जल्द ख़त्म होने वाला नहीं है"।
इसके बाद नेहरू ने कुछ दिन देहरादून में बिताए। हमारे पास उनके निधन से पहले की आख़री तस्वीर वहीं की है। वह 26 मई को नई दिल्ली लौट आए। शायद उस रात उनका आख़िरी काम जापान के शोइची हिरोसे को पत्र लिखना था। कुछ घंटों बाद, 27 मई की सुबह 6:25 बजे नेहरू बेहोश हुए और दोपहर 2 बजे उन्हें मृत घोषित कर दिया गया।
अपने असाधारण और कई तरह के इतिहास रचने वाले जीवन के दौरान नेहरू बुद्ध के जीवन और उनके संदेशों से गहराई से प्रभावित थे। उनका अध्ययन कक्ष और शयनकक्ष बुद्ध के प्रति उनके आकर्षण का प्रमाण है। आश्चर्यजनक रूप से पृथ्वी पर उनका अंतिम दिन बुद्ध पूर्णिमा के दिन था और उन्होंने अपना अंतिम पत्र एक बौद्ध भक्त को लिखा था।
नेहरू के इतिहास को पढ़ने और प्राचीनता को भारत के नए गणतंत्र के साथ जोड़ने की उनकी इच्छा ने उन्हें बुद्ध के सबसे महान प्रचारक सम्राट अशोक की दो विरासतों का उपयोग करने के लिए प्रेरित किया - राष्ट्रीय ध्वज में अशोक चक्र और भारत के राष्ट्रीय प्रतीक के रूप में सारनाथ स्थित अशोक के सिंह स्तंभ की अनुकृति।

So very apt and true @PalshikarSuhas These fundamental assumptions have been turned on their heads
India's constitution makers trusted a) ability of power seekers to self regulate and b) ability of popular democratic sentiment to correct aberrations.

Well said @sagarikaghose
Enduring prison terms and police beatings #JawaharlalNehru gave his life for the Indian people. Millions of refugees on the move post 1947, India struggling to emerge from colonialism, famine, no industry, ministries working out of 2 rooms, no skilled manpower, yet Nehru built for the future which we see TODAY. His public speaking style was confiding and intimate, he said what he felt because the people were his family. He had no truck with rehearsed performances and PR scripted oratory. He was a nation builder not a pantomime artist. Nehru forever. Nehru rules.
