Before you read this article, grab a glass of water and a paracetamol. Walk over to your laptop—the supercomputer in your hand is not up to the task—and see if you can figure out how to apply online for an Indian visa. We’ll wait economist.com/asia/2026/06/2…

Over a decade ago, the Lucknow Development Authority even registered a case against owner Virendra Pratap Shukla, and orders were given to demolish the illegal construction at the site. But it was never done.

CBSE चेयरमैन और सचिव का तबादला ऑन-स्क्रीन मार्किंग (OSM) विवाद और छात्रों की शिकायतों के कारण हुआ, आज तक की खबर के असर से नहीं। indianexpress.com/article/india/… timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/cbse-deb…
As we get closer to the anniversary of the AI 171 crash, expect more conspiracy theories.
Astounding claims in the article without an inch of evidence
1) Britain ? has scrapped 787 it purchased in 2013
✅️Fact: British Airways has grounded 787s due to spare parts shortage. The groundings are since 2024, before the crash: ft.com/content/e435bdc2-4aec…
2) Air India has grounded VT-ANA, VT-ANE for some secret work
✅️ Both these planes have been near or past the 12 years heavy maintenance check routine for 787
Air India & Joramco partnership has been publicly announced: joramco.com.jo/media/events-…
What has happened to the famed fact check team of @thecaravanindia ?
Disheartening as a reader
Infuriating as an aviation journalist

ATLEAST GIVE CREDIT TO @datavorous_ FOR POINTING THAT OUT??? THIS IS NOT EXCLUSIVE AT ALL???? WHY ARE YOU LYING???
SamSays retweeted
it's okay though, i don't mind if you're doing this without credit, claiming all of this as exclusive is dishonest, but i don't want any sort of credit for this. this should ultimately be the job of the media to cover this. all the best

How embarrassing to put out scripted videos and then hurriedly take them down. More than anything else, it reflects poorly on our educators, who should be encouraging independent thought rather than orchestrated messaging.
CBSE asked school principals to become its social media PR team. They were handed a script, told to record videos, and urged students to "trust the system." When the campaign was exposed, the videos disappeared. | @onkeyta_

The entire investigation was carried out by a class 12 student Sidhant Sarthak and detailed in his blog. This news channel has plagiarized Sidhant’s efforts. This is not surprising considering their dubious track record.

Sharp Edge:The Ugly Indian.
Why have Indian tourists become so unwelcome abroad? Is it because we display no consideration for local sensibilities? Is it because we can be loud & pushy? Is it because we are aggressive & arrogant (especially in Asia?)

So CBSE is thanking “alert citizens and ethical hackers” for identifying vulnerabilities in its systems.
Fair enough.
But shouldn’t these vulnerabilities have been identified by CBSE, its vendors and IT security teams BEFORE 17-year-olds found them?
We have been closely monitoring the vulnerabilities in the OnMark portal of our service provider that are being flagged in the public domain. An expert team of cybersecurity professionals has been deployed over the last few days from across various arms of the government as well as the IITs to fortify these systems, including taking them over to a more secure set up. The identified vulnerabilities have been contained, and other exploitable weaknesses are being ruled out.
We are grateful to all alert citizens and ethical hackers pointing out such weaknesses, and have gotten in touch with some of them directly.
We request any others to reach out to our security teams at [email protected] for any further inputs.

Students are uncovering marksheet errors.
Students are exposing alleged vulnerabilities in the OSM system.
Students are scrutinising the tender process.
When students are forced to become investigators and auditors of their own exam process, something is seriously wrong.
Are no heads going to roll for the CBSE mess?

Sensitive data, including students' personal information, was processed by Google's Gemini through automation scripts prepared by quality assurance engineers at COEMPT Eduteck, CBSE's tech vendor. Ethical hacker Nisarga Adhikary (@ni5arga), who exposed #CBSE, calls it "scary" and "sad" that a third-party company allegedly sent such data to the U.S. for processing.
"Data Privacy Laws are not respected, and they should get sued for doing this without student consent," Adhikary says in conversation with Maitri Porecha (@dawalelo) and John Xavier (@johnXavier777).

This is what @anjanaomkashyap said when students asked about misinformation and Fake News by mainstream media. She chose to troll me and name calling instead of giving a straight answer to a question asked on fake news by mainstream media.
