Unfortunate incident happened during Ganesha procession in Karnataka nitter.cf/Nir_anjan_01/status/21…
Congress should announce that a voter has a fundamental right to be on the voter list, not an option

Things sanghi ladies have to do because one BAPS man did not want ladies around when he visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris
The feeds have been non-stop since morning; dozens of ladies have been given the task of writing good things about BAPS
😂😂
I have been thinking about the recent visit of BAPS Swaminarayan monks to the Eiffel Tower, and it brought back an experience of my own that I have never quite known how to articulate.
Some time ago, I was staying at an accommodation where Swaminarayan monks were also living next door. They followed a practice of not “seeing” women, which meant that, at certain hours, I could not access some common areas.
My first reaction was indignation. I remember thinking: Is this not exactly why women have to try twice as hard to be considered half as good? As someone who has always been outward-looking and travelled extensively, I was even tempted to write an X thread about how such seemingly regressive practices could thrive in the 21st century.
And then something unexpected happened.
The monks cooked their own food — simple, beautiful sattvic meals. Their sahayaks began leaving breakfast, lunch and dinner for me too, checking whether I needed more or less. Once, in passing, I mentioned that I particularly liked one of the desserts. Somehow, that comment reached the monks, and they began making extra desserts because they had heard that I loved them. The day I left, they even packed me a meal for the road.
The care was difficult to explain. It was quiet and completely unselfconscious — simply an attentiveness to whether I had eaten, whether I needed something, whether I was comfortable.
My initial irritation slowly transformed into a feeling I have experienced very few places outside my own home: the feeling of being cared for almost as one is cared for by one's parents.
It made me question my own assumptions.
Sometimes, a practice that appears exclusionary to us may have a very different meaning within the spiritual framework of those who follow it. That does not mean every practice is beyond scrutiny. If women are asked to temporarily leave a space when Swamis visit, it is entirely legitimate to ask why, whether they have a choice, whether they feel humiliated, and whether anyone is actually being harmed.
But perhaps we should investigate such questions without deciding the answer beforehand.
There is, however, another responsibility — particularly when such traditions travel abroad.
Practices that have evolved within a specific cultural and spiritual context can lose not merely perspective, but context itself, when transplanted into another society. In Bharat, someone may understand a monk's practice through familiarity with its traditions, vocabulary, discipline and philosophy of renunciation. In Paris, London or New York, someone encountering it for the first time may have none of that context.
What is understood internally as spiritual discipline can therefore appear externally as discrimination or humiliation.
This is something BAPS must be conscious of. When traditions enter public spaces abroad, intentions alone are not enough. The host society encounters the action, not the internal reasoning behind it. There is therefore a responsibility to explain, contextualise and, where appropriate, adapt how such practices are conducted in shared public spaces.
That does not mean abandoning religious beliefs.
It means recognising that religious freedom and cultural sensitivity must travel together.
My experience taught me not to judge unfamiliar traditions solely by their outward appearance. But it also taught me that those who carry traditions across cultures have an equal responsibility to ensure that unfamiliarity does not become needless offence.
We should be able to hold both truths at once: traditions deserve scrutiny, women deserve dignity, and unfamiliar practices deserve understanding before condemnation.
Wish Mudiji was PM, he would have done this
Bhakts are realizing they don't have a shoulder to cry on anymore
itna deep maara mudijine inko 😁😁😁😁
Allauddin killed Ratan Singh and forced Rani Padmini to commit Jauhar
Today children of Allauddin are considered historically oppressed and takes OBC reservation and minorities benefits
While children of Ratan Singh are called historically oppressor and are not eligible for any govt benefit
This is completely wrong
Muslims should be removed from OBC and minorities
mudi had to rush to gujarat to do this , no other state would have been possible given the public mood
PM Modi's Mega Gen-Z Outreach In Vadodara, Gujarat
Earlier, governments would announce one or two trains in the Budget and those announcements would be talked about for an entire year. But today, new trains are being introduced one after another throughout the year. Several new trains are also being launched as part of today's programme: PM @NarendraModi
Deep sh*t, Arvind says. BAPS misogyny is ok but they should have kept it inside their compound in Gujarat

ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಅಂತಿಮ ಸಂಹಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊರಟವರ ಉಪ ಸಂಹಾರ ಯಾತ್ರೆ!
ಇದು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಪಾದಯಾತ್ರೆಯಲ್ಲ. KJP, BSR, KRPP ಪಕ್ಷಗಳ ಪಿತೂರಿ ಯಾತ್ರೆ
ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಮುಗಿಸಲು ಮೂರು ಹೊಸ ಪಕ್ಷ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ತ್ರಿಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳ ಪ್ರಾಯಶ್ಚಿತ್ತ ಯಾತ್ರೆ
ಗೊತ್ತು ಗುರಿ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ ಪಾದಯಾತ್ರೆ ಕೈಗೊಂಡಿರುವ ವಿಜಯೇಂದ್ರ, ಗಾಲಿ ಜನಾರ್ಧನರೆಡ್ಡಿ, ಬಿ. ಶ್ರೀರಾಮುಲು. ಈ ಮೂವರೂ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಮುಗಿಸಲು ಹೊರಟು ವಿಫಲವಾಗಿ ಗಾಯಗೊಂಡವರು. ಅವಕಾಶಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಹೊಂಚು ಹಾಕುತ್ತಿರುವವರು. ಈಗ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ರಕ್ಷಕರಂತೆ ಪಾದಯಾತ್ರೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ರಾಜಕೀಯದ ದೊಡ್ಡ ವ್ಯಂಗ್ಯ!
ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಉದಯಿಸಿದ ಕೆಜೆಪಿಯ ಸೂತ್ರದಾರಿ ಬಿ.ವೈ. ವಿಜಯೇಂದ್ರ ಈಗ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ರಾಜ್ಯಾಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ. ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ತೊಡೆ ತಟ್ಟಿ ಪಕ್ಷಗಳ ಹುಟ್ಟು ಹಾಕಿದ ಶ್ರೀರಾಮುಲು, ಜನಾರ್ದನರೆಡ್ಡಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಯ ನಿಷ್ಠರು!
ಮೂವರೂ ನಾಯಕರು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮನಃಸಾಕ್ಷಿಯಿಂದ ಹೇಳಿ. ಆ ಮೂರು ಪಕ್ಷಗಳಿಗೆ ಜನ ಬೆಂಬಲ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದರೆ ನೀವು ಮತ್ತೆ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗೆ ಬರುತ್ತಿದ್ರಾ? ನಾವು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಪರ ಎಂದು ಈ ಪಶ್ಚಾತ್ತಾಪ ಯಾತ್ರೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಿರಾ?
ಜನಾರ್ದನ ರೆಡ್ಡಿ ಅವರೇ, ಕಲ್ಯಾಣ, ಪ್ರಗತಿ ಎಂದುಕೊಂಡು ಪಕ್ಷ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಬಳ್ಳಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಸಹೋದರ ಸೋಮಶೇಖರ ರೆಡ್ಡಿ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಪತ್ನಿಯನ್ನು ಕಣಕ್ಕಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದು, ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಸೋಲಿಸಿದ್ದು ನೀನೇ ತಾನೇ? ಸಿರಗುಪ್ಪಾದಲ್ಲಿ ಸೋಮಲಿಂಗಪ್ಪ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಜೀವನದ ಜೊತೆ ಫುಟ್ಬಾಲ್ ಆಡಿದವನು ನೀನಲ್ಲವೇ?
ಅಂದ್ರೆಗಿನ ಶ್ರೀರಾಮುಲು ಅವರು ರಾಹುಲ್ ಗಾಂಧಿ ಅವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಬಡವ ಶ್ರಮಿಕ ರೈತ ಎಂದು ಪಕ್ಷ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ತೊಡೆ ತಟ್ಟಿದ್ಯಲ್ಲಪ್ಪಾ? ಬಿ.ಎಸ್.ಆರ್ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಎಂದು ನಿನ್ನ ಹೊಸ ಪಕ್ಷದ ಹೆಸರನ್ನೂ ಕಾಂಗ್ರೆಸ್ ಎಂದೇ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೆ.
ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗಷ್ಟೇ ಜನಾರ್ದನ ರೆಡ್ಡಿ ನನ್ನ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಜೀವನ ಮುಗಿಸಲು ಹೊರಟಿದ್ದಾನೆ ಎಂದು ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಬಹಿರಂಗ ಜಗಳಕ್ಕೆ ಇಳಿದಿದ್ದವರು. ಈಗ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹಠಾತ್ ಪ್ರೀತಿ ಯಾಕೆ?
ಈಗ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಕಾರ್ಯಕರ್ತರಿಗೆ ಅರಿವಾಗಿದೆ. ಮೂವರು ತ್ರಿಮೂರ್ತಿಗಳು ತಮ್ಮ ಹಾಗೂ ತಮ್ಮ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಸದಸ್ಯರ ಮೇಲಿನ ಕೇಸುಗಳಿಗೆ ಹೆದರಿ ಬಿಜೆಪಿಗೆ ಬಂದವರೇ ಹೊರತು ಪಕ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ ನಿಷ್ಠರಲ್ಲ.
ಇದು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ವಿರೋಧಿಗಳ ಕೂಟದ ಯಾತ್ರೆ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿಯೇ ಆರ್. ಅಶೋಕ್ ಅನುಪಸ್ಥಿತಿ. ಕುಮಾರಣ್ಣ, ಸುನಿಲ್ ಕುಮಾರ್, ಶೋಭಕ್ಕ, ವಿ. ಸೋಮಣ್ಣ, ಜೆ.ಸಿ. ಮಾಧುಸ್ವಾಮಿ, ಸಿ.ಟಿ. ರವಿ ಅಂತಹವರು ಅಂತರ ಕಾಯ್ದುಕೊಂಡಿರುವುದು.
ಸ್ವಂತ ಪಕ್ಷ ಸೋಲಿಸಿದ ಸಾಧಕರಿವರು. ಈ ಮೂವರಿಗೂ ಸ್ವಂತ ಪಕ್ಷದವರನ್ನು ಸೋಲಿಸಿದ ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಇದೆಯೇ ಹೊರತು ಬೇರೆ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಪಕ್ಷದ ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿ ಗೆಲ್ಲಿಸುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ ಇಲ್ಲ.
ನಿಮ್ಮ ಪಾದಯಾತ್ರೆಗೆ ನಿರ್ದಿಷ್ಟ ಗುರಿ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೂ ದಿನಕ್ಕೊಂದು ಮಾರ್ಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಗಿ, ಬಣ್ಣ ಬದಲಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೀರಿ. ಇದು ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಪರ ಪಾದಯಾತ್ರೆಯೋ? ಅಥವಾ ಹಳೆಯ ವೈಷಮ್ಯದಿಂದ ಬಿಜೆಪಿ ಮುಗಿಸಲು ಹೊರಟ “ಉಪಸಂಹಾರ ಯಾತ್ರೆ”ಯೋ? ಎಂಬ ಗುಮಾನಿ ಶ್ರೀಸಾಮಾನ್ಯನ ಕಾಡುತ್ತಿದೆ.

Vijayawada–Bengaluru Greenfield Highway 🚧🚁
The tunnel is between Sitaramapuram in SPSR Nellore district and Porumamilla in Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh
This tunnel is about 3.68 km long per tunnel, with twin tunnels planned—about 7.5 km of tunnel works in total.

काशी के क्योटो में हुआ चमत्कार
पानी पर चल गयी दो पहिया नाव
जनता पूछ रही है कि पचासों हज़ार के बजट से काशी को स्मार्ट सिटी बनाने का जो दावा था उस पर किसने ये पानी फेर दिया?
कहीं दिल्लीवालों का काम लखनऊवालों ने तो चौपट नहीं कर दिया। न गंगा साफ़ हुई, न वरुणा और न ही काशी के नाले तभी तो नल को छोड़कर हर तरफ़ जल ही जल है।
अगर दूरबीन और ड्रोन काम नहीं कर रहा है तो रडार से ही दिखवा लें वैसे भी अब बादल नहीं है। अगर फिर भी न दिखाई दे तो यूपी के बुलडोज़र पर चढ़कर देख लें, कम से कम कभी तो बुलडोज़र का सकारात्मक इस्तेमाल हो।
The living GOAT great wall standing against communal politics without fear
our Shri Siddaramaiah 🙏🙏🙏
Whenever communalism threatens society, we are reminded of Gauri Lankesh and her fearless fight for equality, secularism and harmony.
Despite facing criticism, abuse and deeply personal attacks, she remained steadfast in her commitment to the larger good of society. Equality, communal harmony, secularism and freedom of expression were not merely ideals she spoke about - they were values she lived by.
It is a tragedy that she ultimately had to lay down her life for those very values.
Gauri may no longer be with us, but the spark of resistance she ignited continues to light the path of countless people standing against hatred and injustice.
On her death anniversary, let us pledge to keep that spark alive and pay our respects to her fearless spirit.
#GauriLankesh
