End of an Era.
Govt will most likely not grant licenses to any future "independent" TV news channels. So this can be effectively considered as the end of TV journalism in India.

Joined @bharatjodo yatra today & walked with @RahulGandhi. The energy, commitment & love is inspiring! The participation & warmth of common people, enthusiasm of Congress workers & RG’s attention & care toward everyone & everything around him is astounding! ✊🏽🇮🇳💛✨ @INCIndia

This kind of benefit analysis is vital to assess the relative value (& cost/benefit) of government schemes and so-called "freebies". CM @mkstalin's Govt aims to improve the "efficiency of expenditure" in multiple such ways and set a new benchmark for fiscal management & policies

In India, Hindu Nationalists are being given arms training in public. They are flaunting swords, trishuls with impunity raising genocidal slogans. Demands for mosques to be demolished, a petition to examine the Hindu roots of the Tajmahal. Yes. TAJMAHAL washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

“At a time when the world is facing a shortage of wheat, farmers of India have stepped forward to feed the world”. It was not even two weeks ago that Mr. Modi had made this statement in Berlin. Let us talk about wheat and our ambitions of feeding the world. Thread.👇1/n

Much that’s so disastrous in Mumbai is glorified in popular culture. That only doubles the tragedy…the city has been on multiple ventilators, and still choking. Mass transit plans forever delayed..

The small Govt. that Modi promised now has more ministers than any previous Govt. since independence.

Appointing Anurag Thakur as the sports minister was a masterstroke from Modi, think how much he will inspire our shooters in the Olympics with his war cry of “Goil maro……”

Trial by process” is the political and organisational logic of the UAPA. The now routine deployment of UAPA, together with a deadly cocktail of other exceptional laws, is meant to signal the reach of the Indian state.

You know what is majority privilege ? That a man who publicly shot at students at Jamia, asks for genocide of Muslims at a public gathering. Not a single headline on any news channel, no debates, no outrage, no UAPA. And then some liberals will say ‘Stop making it about muslims’
Jamia shooter Ram Bhakt Gopal in Haryana ask people to Kidnap muslim girls in revenge.
He raises slogan "Jab Mulle Kaate Jaenge Ram Ram Chillainge"

Finally, #Tamilnadu has a #ChiefMinister with a good body language, a first in over five years. Earnest without seeming intimidated by a #PrimeMinister.

My mother’s last tweet before she herself was infected.
She was fully vaccinated (Covaxin) and it had been 40 days from 2nd jab till testing +ve. No comorbidities.
She passed on this morning @ 9:20 AM.
Will we please heed her advice? @PMOIndia
With such indiscriminate deaths in Covid19 , mostly to a Lung Dysfunction, the bodies are hurriedly done away with. Instead, some of them need to be autopsied for medical reasons for getting into the depth of the exact pathology - for scientific research. @PMOIndia

"Are you not teaching me because I am a girl?", six-year-old Mehak Fathima from Kozhikode asked her father after she saw him teaching her three-year-old brother. So he taught her too. Now, look at this little star!

With the 2020-21 data released, it's now confirmed.
Since 2016 India's growth each year has been lower than the previous.
2016-17: 8%
2017-18: 6.6%
2018-19: 6%
2019-20: 3.9%
2020-21: -7.3%
This hasn't happened before & is unacceptable for a nation with such fundamental strength.
