"How he manages to come out so frequently".

इस वीरतापूर्ण क्रूरता को प्रणाम कीजिए यूपी के मथुरा में एक दारोगा जी एक बित्ता भर के बच्चे को चोरी के आरोप में कॉलर पकड़कर खसीटे लिए जा रहे थे। आशीष श्रीवास्तव नाम के एक युवक ने दारोगा जी को टोक दिया कि साहेब बच्चे को इस तरह क्यों खींचकर ले जा रहे हो? दरोगा जी आहत हो गए। युवक को बलभर थपड़ियाया। उसे भी खींचते हुए चौकी ले गए और जमकर पिटाई की। जिस देश में नेता दिन भर 'जिंदा गाड़ देंगे', 'उल्टा टांग देंगे', 'खाल खींच लेंगे' जैसी भाषा बोलते हों, वहां एक दारोगा से आप इससे ज्यादा की उम्मीद क्या कर सकते हैं? कुएं में ही भांग पड़ी है। एक लोटा पानी निकालकर छान लेने से कुछ नहीं होगा। कुआं साफ करना होगा। वरना आज ये बच्चे हैं। कल आपके बच्चे होंगे। आज आशीष है, कल आप होंगे। वीडियो & सूचना - @JtrahulSaini

मध्य प्रदेश में नारकोटिक्स डिपार्टमेंट ने एक व्यापारी के पास मौजूद मसाला को ड्रग बताकर 57 दिन जेल में रखा। अंततः हाई कोर्ट ने रिहा किया और डिपार्टमेंट पर 10 लाख का दंड लगाया! ये दस लाख तो सरकारी खजाने से दे दिया जाएगा। क्या उस व्यापारी के 57 दिन वापस किए जा सकते हैं!

India's 2047 Roadblock: Failed Education NITI Aayog Report Shows Reality 1. 2014-2024: Math/Sci: Zero improvement; 60% students below avg 2. 42% kids drop after Class 10 3. 85% teachers below std 4. Edu System: Marks = Self-worth; Rank = Identity; Exams = Destiny INSIGHTS: NITI Aayog Report: Grim Reality a. 232-page report released last week. All data is from government agencies only; surveys covering hundreds of districts, thousands of villages & cities, lakhs of children. b. “Access to schooling has not translated into quality learning or continuity of education (beyond Class 10).” c. World Bank data (cited in the report): One additional year of schooling leads to 0.37% increase in GDP growth. So, education is the foundational driver of "Developed India 2047" goal. d. Overall enrollment in Indian schools (govt & private schools combined) has gone down every year for the last 4 years: FY22: 26.52 cr FY23: 25.17 cr FY24: 24.80 cr FY25: 24.69 cr e. Enrollment is high for primary education, and then kids start dropping out of the system. Total 42% students drop out by Class 9/10. “This trend has remained largely unchanged from 2015 to 2025,” says the report. [Zero Improvement] f. Class 9: Students with below-average performance nationally: Science: 60%; Math: 63% of the total enrollment. g. Reading Skills: Decline: In 2014, 74.7% of Class 8 students could read a Class 2 text; by 2024, that figure fell to 71.1%. h. Math Skills: Near-Zero Improvement: In 2014, 44.2% Class 8 students had basic math skills (can do division). In 2024, the figure was 45.8%. At this rate, it will take 339 years to reach 100% Class 8 students with basic math skills. i. PARAKH 2024 Findings: “Students are good at Rote Learning, but struggle with real-world application. Classroom learning remains overly procedural, with limited transfer to problem-solving beyond the textbooks.” j. Drop-Out Rates Increase in U.P./Bihar: From 2015 to 2025, in Bihar, secondary school dropout went up from 2.98% to 9.3% (3X). In U.P., it went up from 0.52% to 3.0% (6X). Gujarat, M.P., and 3 NE states had the highest drop-out rates (above 5%) in 2025. k. 14% of planned teaching days across India are lost to non-academic work, such as elections and surveys. l. Teacher Competency: 85-90% of the teachers across India fail to meet the qualifying threshold of TET/CTET exams. “Many teachers fail the competency test in their own subjects, which they teach.” m. NITI Aayog report sums it up beautifully: “As India prepares for 2047, its progress will not be measured by the number of classrooms, but by what happens inside those classrooms.” Building on a Weak Foundation a. “Originality” in the Indian education system is penalized as “answering out of syllabus.” Failure creates lifelong trauma. But innovation IS a series of controlled failures. In technology-driven nations, failure is a badge of honour. b. Coaching in India produces the smartest competitive exam takers in the world. But it steals curiosity. In China, roughly 50% of the students go into vocational schools compared to India’s 1.3%. c. In India, education is a lifelong “shield,” providing a stable IT, bank, or government job. In China, education is a “sword,” providing the ability to build, innovate, and solve. d. The Indian system is optimized for test-takers; the Chinese system is optimized for builders. As a result, China accounts for 30% of the global manufacturing output; 50% of global patent applications; and IP ownership of leading-edge technologies. e. An Indian student can solve 500 physics problems and still freeze when faced with a real-world engineering challenge. The Indian education system is designed for certainty. In real world, the outcomes are uncertain. f. Indian education system is built on humiliation and shame. As a result, the Indian mind is conditioned against fear of public mistakes. To avoid mistakes, even the next gen of a billionaire sells ice creams. The Bottom Line India’s education system is still preparing students for a world that no longer exists. The crisis is not in Indian talent. It is in the Indian classroom. @arabicatrader

How many vehicles were blocked and for how long to allow these 2 cars to pass? If this was possible all this while, why did it take a war (+ conclusion of 5 state/UT elections) to take action, esp when reduction in VIP culture was one of the original 2014 poll promises?

Read till the end:  SpiceJet cancelled my Delhi to Srinagar flight (PNR: H8FKMY) today. It was at 11:15 am, and they informed me only at 9:20 am. I was taking my 60+ old parents to Kashmir for their anniversary. They travelled all the way from Rohtak, reached the airport on time, only to be told there’s no flight today. Their entire plan for the next 5 days is ruined. When I tried to rebook for today, fares were already higher. And the moment I clicked “pay,” the price jumped another 40%.  So, I booked for tomorrow, but it cost way more than the SpiceJet tickets I paid for. SpiceJet says they’ll refund the cancelled flight but what about the extra money I had to pay? What about hotels refusing refunds for the lost day? What about the taxi costs and the stress my old parents had to go through? Just for my own curiosity, I tried cancelling the Indigo flight I booked for tomorrow. Guess what? They wanted more than ₹5,000 per ticket as cancellation fee, just 10 minutes after booking. All this in the name of “base fare” and “fuel surcharge.” Base fare they’ll recover anyway by selling the seat at a higher price to someone else. And fuel surcharge? Is fuel price fluctuating every single minute? Airlines and apps happily charge “convenience fees,” but when they ruin your plans, there’s no inconvenience fee for passengers. No cancellation fees for passengers. Just a cold “write mail to us.” You may get a voucher from their airline. The staff at the counter have no power, yet they’re the ones who face all the anger. The real decision-makers sit on annual packages worth crores, but don’t lift a finger when it comes to fixing anything real. FYI: At European airports, airlines are required to give a full refund and pay up to £600 to passengers when they cancel a flight. Even if it’s an Indian airline operating there, the same rule applies. These airlines pay compensation there, even for a flight delay. But what about Indian Janta?  We’re not flying for free, we pay taxes on every single ticket we buy. GST, User development fees, airport charges and even for our security.  Anyway, DGCA rules say 24 hours’ notice is required before cancelling. Why was this ignored? Staff claimed “technical fault” in the plane, but I doubt it. I want SpiceJet to share how many seats were actually booked for this flight. Was the flight only 30-40% full and cancelled for that reason? I didn’t see many passengers stranded there. These airlines keep sinking and government keeps negotiating. Aviation minister, where are you? Ministers fight for cabinet seats, they take one, enjoy the power and go, but ordinary people keep suffering because of government’s policies. At least one minister has to set an example. I want answers. And I want real compensation, not just vouchers or empty apologies. @RamMNK @DGCAIndia @flyspicejet

@suchetadalal @RBI @FinMinIndia @nsitharaman @DasShaktikanta @roadscholarz @CMO_Odisha @Naveen_Odisha It's a crime to expect better governance and system functioning. As a tax payer using government services is my choice, but expect it to be accessible and work for countrymen who need it. It's disheartening to see with 75+ years on independence we still lack basic system function

Massive Candle Light 🕯 Vigil Protest going on right now at Ukhrul, Manipur against the April 18 killing of two Tangkhul Naga civilians by the Kuki Narco Terrorists. Only Govt prompt action by punishing those wild criminals will bring peace in Manipur.

There were many reasons for opposing the Delimitation Bill. Two have been widely discussed. It was a cynical move to link women’s reservation which is now non controversial with a dodgy delimitation scheme. And the South was dismayed by a bill that gave more seats to the Hindi belt . But there was another concern. Most Indians have become disillusioned with politicians and with the electoral process where each individual election involves spending hundreds of crores raised from businessmen through bribes and favour granting. They are as fed up of the crores spent on corrupting MPs to switch sides. They also see less & less public benefit in parliament where biased presiding officers shut up anyone who is doing the job that MPs are supposed to do: raising issues of public importance & questioning the government . Nor do they think the tax payer gets any value from most MPs who live off public funds & do little to help ordinary Indians The new bill would have created hundreds of new MPs & involved thousands of crores of expenditure both officially & in black money. People just did not see the point in creating more MPs. If the government wants to add hundreds of MPs then it should at least let parliament function effectively & fairly Because people are fed up of a chamber that serves no purpose other than to rubber stamp executive decisions, make politicians rich, increase corruption & waste public funds. This is not how the Constitution envisaged the role of parliament

'आशाताई' -दि लास्ट एम्परर ज्येष्ठ गायिका आशाताई भोसले यांचं निधन झालं. मी माझ्या एक दोन भाषणांमध्ये, आणि पुढे एकदा आशाताईंशी झालेल्या संवादात म्हणलं होतं की, लतादीदी आणि तुम्ही म्हणजे भारतीय चित्रपट संगीतातील, लिओनार्दो द विंची आणि मायकलॅन्जलो आहात. लिओनार्दो द विंचीच्या कामाकडे बघताना त्यातील परफेक्शन, कमालीचा आखीव रेखीव पणा, जबरदस्त ठहराव आणि एक सर्रकन जाणवणारी आध्यात्मिक अनुभूती जाणवत राहते. हे सगळं दीदींच्या गाण्यात जाणवत राहतं. सगळं कसं परफेक्ट, आदर्शवत वाटत राहतं.  तर मायकलॅन्जलोच्या कामात नजाकत आहे, आवेग आहे, लडिवाळपणा आणि बंडखोरी पण आहे. कधी कधी त्याची शिल्प त्या दगडातून बाहेर येण्यास आतुर आहेत असं वाटत राहतं.  तसंच आशाताईंच्या गाण्यांचं. त्यांच्या गाण्यात ओढ आहे, खेळकरपणा आहे, धिटाई आहे आणि माणूस म्हणल्यावर थोडा बेधडकपणा, झुगारून देण्याची तीव्र इच्छा असणारच , ते सगळं आशाताईंच्या गाण्यात जाणवत राहतं.  'गाणं हे माझं पॅशन आहे' किंवा 'ऍक्टिंग माझं पॅशन आहे' असं म्हणत स्वतःला कलाकार आणि कालांतराने ज्येष्ठ कलाकार इत्यादी म्हणून घेणारे हल्ली ढिगाने आढळतात.   असलं म्हणण्याची मुभा नियतीने आशाताईंना कधीच दिली नाही. वयाच्या १५व्या वर्षी स्वतःला आणि कुटुंबाला उभं करायचं आहे आणि त्यासाठी काय जमतंय तर निसर्गदत्त आवाजाची देणगी. या इतक्या भांडवलावर त्यांनी गाणं गायला सुरुवात केली. अजाणत्या वयात व्यक्तिगत आयुष्यात आशाताईंनी अफाट त्रास सहन केला. पण या त्रासाने किंवा दुःखाने त्यांच्या मनातला किंतुपरंतुवर मात केली आणि आयुष्यात जी धिटाई आली ती आवाजात आली.  मी वर म्हणल्याप्रमाणे लतादीदींचा आवाज म्हणजे परफेक्शन आणि कमालीचा ठहराव. स्वातंत्र्य मिळाल्यानंतर सगळं वातावरण भारावलेलं असताना असा आवाज हा त्या काळाचा आवाज वाटावा असा आवाज आहे. अशावेळेस स्वतःचा आवाज तयार करायचा, त्यासाठी आपल्या एक्सप्रेशनला साजेसं गाणं मिळेपर्यंत वाट पहायची यासाठी आशाताईंनी काय पेशन्स ठेवले असतील हे त्याच जाणोत.  'पिया तू अब तो आजा' मध्ये प्रियकराला थेट बेधडक आवाहन आहे. 'आईये मेहरबान' मध्ये लडिवाळपणा आहे, 'दिल चीज क्या है आप मेरी जान लिजिए' मध्ये नजाकत आहे. 'दम मारो दम' मध्ये बंडखोरी आहे, सगळ्या चौकटी तोडून येण्याची तीव्र उर्मी आहे. याच आशाताई मराठी भावसंगीतात 'मागे उभा मंगेश, पुढे उभा मंगेश' म्हणत युगायुगांचं वैराग्याचे प्रतीक शंकर चराचरात आहेत आणि लक्ष ठेवून आहेत हे आर्तपणे सांगतात. व्यक्तिगत आयुष्याच्या जवळपास प्रत्येक टप्प्यावर त्यांनी वादळं पहिली. तरीही आशाताई खचल्या नाहीत, दुःख हत्यार बनवलं नाही, कडवटपणा येऊ दिला नाही. दुःख हाताळायची त्यांनी कलाच जणू आत्मसात केली होती. म्हणूनच दीदी कायम दैवी वाटत राहिल्या तर आशाताई खूप मानवी वाटत राहिल्या. जसा दीदींचा सहवास मिळाला तसाच आशाताईंचा मिळाला. मी भाग्यवान आहे की ज्यांनी या देशाच्या अनेक दशकांच्या भावविश्वाला आकार दिला त्या दोन्ही बहिणींचा मला ओतप्रोत सहवास मिळाला. माझ्यासाठी आशाताईंकडे फक्त ज्येष्ठ गायिका म्हणून बघणं हे पुरेसं नाही तर तो गाण्यातून घडलेला अलौकिक प्रवास होता. तो चिरकाल तुमच्या माझ्यासोबत राहील, नवनवीन पदर उघडत राहील.  मी मागे माझ्या भाषणांत म्हणालो होतो की लता दीदी असतील, आशाताई असतील किंवा त्यांच्यासारखे इतर कलाकार असतील , ते जर नसते आणि त्यांनी आपल्याला त्यांच्या भावविश्वात गुंतवून ठेवलं नसतं तर या देशांत कधीच अराजक आलं असतं  ! उत्तुंग काय असतं आणि ते कुठे बघायचं याचा मापदंड या लोकांनी  आपल्याला घालून दिला ! जसं लिओनार्दो द विंची आणि मायकलॅन्जलो हे जरी वरवर परस्पर विरोधी वाटले तरी युरोपातील रेनेसाँस युगाला त्या दोघांनी वेगेवेगळ्या पद्धतीने आकार दिला. तसा आकार लतादीदी आणि आशाताईंनी भारतीय चित्रपट संगीताच्या  रेनेसाँस युगाला दिला. काही वर्षांपूर्वी दीदी गेल्या आणि आज आशाताई गेल्या. भारताच्या  रेनेसाँस युगाचा शेवटचा महत्वाचा घटक आज आपल्यातून गेला ! आशाताईंना महाराष्ट्र नवनिर्माण सेनेची विनम्र श्रद्धांजली. राज ठाकरे।

As Ravish Kumar once said, “Sometimes resistance is not a matter of choice. Not all battles are fought for victory, some are fought for simply to tell the world that someone was there on the battlefield.” Kunal Kamra is doing what media, opposition & courts should have done.

A super speciality hospital block at #RamManoharLohiaHospital built at a cost of over ₹400 crore in the capital has remained non-operational for over a year — not due to lack of infrastructure, staff or equipment, but because of delays in electricity connection. The facility, meant for cancer and other super speciality patients, has been ready since early 2025 and could have started OPD services much earlier. However, the absence of a functional power supply has kept it shut, raising questions over administrative lapses and waste of public money. #delhi #health #infrastructure @MoHFW_INDIA @JPNadda @timesofindia
