अगर ज्ञान का इतना आभाव हो तो चुप्पी सबसे सटीक बाण है
जिन लोगों ने अपने भ्रष्ट कारनामों से पूरे सिस्टम को प्रदूषित किया, उनको कोई बोलता नहीं। अगर पब्लिक एक दिन आतिशबाजी कर ले तो प्रदूषण हो गया... हुआ है तो समाप्त भी हो जाएगा, कोई समस्या नहीं है...

How can a dog owner abandon the pet without facing any consequences? Not only is this cruel, it has led to an exploding stray dog population and a public health emergency...
Help 🚨 This dog was found near Indiranagar metro station. The owner says they don’t “need” the dog :( If you know anyone who can adopt please ask them to call Mr. Rajesh- 9945164143 Please share as much as possible 🙏

Breaking: # Firecrackers accounted for 80% of Delhi's #AirPollution hours after #Diwali night, steadily declining between 1 and 9 am. Super work by @iitmpune for sharing this real-time source apportionment data. 🙏 @Priyanshi50 for the alert

Is this gent for real? Then cause of fire and destruction of the country is apparent

India's cultural heritage has been under severe threat since the san@#$s came to power. Architecture, literature, rituals, music - nothing has been left untouched. The uncouth are on a rampage, destroying anything and everything beautiful in sight
Deeply shocked and saddened by the razing of Ustad Bismillah Khan's ancestral home in Varanasi, the very house in which he practised and perfected his music. It is highly unfortunate that instead of protecting and preserving our shared cultural heritage, we are denying ourselves and our future generations even its relics. When offered the chance to move to the US and set up a music school there, Ustad famously denied, asking whether it was possible to make a Banaras in America, a place where the Ganga flows and Shiva is worshipped. For him, there was no way he and his music could be separated from his beloved Banaras. Till his death, he never left Banaras, but Banaras has no place left for him now. The neglected state of Ustad's house and the interests of commercial developers have been public knowledge for years. It is a travesty that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not intervene in his own constituency to ensure that the house remained as a heritage monument. The sad truth is that the rich, syncretic tradition that gave birth to Ustad Bismillah Khan and allowed him to take his shehnai to the world is no longer valued in Modi's Viksit Bharat. We are all poorer as a result.

Here's the problem. If a Muslim or Christian complains about #AirPollution he is anti-Hindu. If a Sanatani complains about it, she is a leftist or dynasty supporter. If a tourist complains he is disrespecting Indian culture. If a scientific historian says there were no fireworks in this world when Lord Ram returned from Vanvas he is funded by foreigners. If a sane centrist says her kids have a breathing problem she is asked to protest against the bombs in the Iran war. Everything is reduced to an abusive binary. That leaves statisticians wondering if they should come up with something called the Idiots-to- Citizen ratio. #Diwali

India’s economy is showing deep cracks. Youth unemployment is shocking high, pollution is enveloping north India, net FDI inflow into the country is close to zero. India’s youth is losing hope. We need the courage to admit to the shortfalls & use the ample talent in the country to design policy.

The tweet posted by Trump on Modi’s controversial claim of ‘longest serving’ Indian PM came at a price paid to a lobbying firm. On the Indian tax payer’s money. 👇🏾

E20 बना 420 - जनता की गाड़ी से पेट्रोल चोरी! मोदी सरकार कहती है - पेट्रोल में 20% एथेनॉल है। कर्नाटक सरकार ने 7 ज़िलों से पेट्रोल के सैंपल लेकर मान्यता प्राप्त लैब में जाँच करवाई। नतीजा देखिए - 14 में से 11 सैंपल में 20% से ज़्यादा एथेनॉल - IOCL में 31.2%, HPCL में 30.5% - IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, Nayara, Shell - सरकारी हों या प्राइवेट - सब सीमा से ऊपर - और कंपनियों की अपनी लैब ने एथेनॉल की मात्रा रिपोर्ट में लिखी ही नहीं मतलब आप पैसा महंगे पेट्रोल का दे रहे हैं, टंकी में एथेनॉल भरा जा रहा है। नुकसान किसका? आपका। आपकी गाड़ी इतना एथेनॉल पचाने के लिए बनी ही नहीं - मतलब, घटता माइलेज, बार-बार मैकेनिक। शौक से ली गई गाड़ी की बर्बादी। और पंप पर लिखा तक नहीं कि टंकी में क्या डाला जा रहा है - चुनने का कोई विकल्प नहीं। मोदी जी, बताइए - देश की टंकी में क्या भरा जा रहा है? पेट्रोल में असल में कितना एथेनॉल है? 20% से ज़्यादा मिलावट करने वाली कंपनियों पर कार्रवाई कब होगी? और डिबेट की चुनौती अब भी खड़ी है। ये मुद्दा भी जोड़ लेंगे - आपकी नीतियों से असल में फ़ायदा किसे हो रहा है?
