CJP appointees have overlooked all existential threats faced by Muslims. But in fallout of the “biggest upper-caste” protests, first to give life for it is a Muslim (WB), most to take a bullets is Muslim (Bihar), Muslims disproportionately faced pellets, detentions, police action
WTF is wrong with journalists posting video of a 15 year old apologising for her remarks. Shameless criminals needs to be sued
This is getting serious. So first question: The party couldn't find one female spokesperson?
Cockroach Janta Party announces three spokespersons who will speak on behalf of the protest movement to the public and the media.
Investigative journalist Saurav Das will take on the role of Chief Spokesperson. Political researcher, author and filmmaker Vijeta Dahiya, and an alumnus of IIT Kanpur and the global management consulting firm McKinsey, Ashutosh Ranka, will also take on the role of Spokespersons along with Das. CJP is committed to changing the political discourse of India, and this will be led by a new generation of leaders.

This press release doesn't mention Israel once.
A new analysis published by @UN_Women today shows that more than 38,000 women and girls were killed in #Gaza between October 2023 and December 2025.
That is an average of at least 47 women and girls killed per day.

Indian “sources” trying to buy respect amid the embarrassing crisis of moral bankruptcy.
Govt of India sources say that days before the IRIS DENA incident south of #SriLanka, India was approached by Iran to take in the Iranian ship IRIS LAVAN, which was also in the region for the International Fleet Review.
The request was received on 28 February 2026, indicating that docking at Kochi was urgent as the vessel had developed technical issues. Approval was accorded for the docking on 1st March. IRIS LAVAN subsequently docked at Kochi on 4th March. In this context, its crew of 183 are currently accommodated at naval facilities in Kochi.

More than the revelation of his bigotry, his desperate attempts to sell his memoir is worrisome. If Modi is not giving him an office, he will end up in some big boss or start a podcast. Think about that violence.

This is not criticism about the article. It is his allergy towards Maktoob for simply existing. Thinking about the desperation he had to endure to find his opportunity. His commitment to resist sharing good reporting just because it came from Maktoob.
We see you.
Last week, 25 books from several reputed publishers, including @PenguinIndia were banned in Kashmir.
Slow claps for undoing the unjust !

Remember NIA, ATS investigated her along with the Pune Police after RW groups leaked her Instagram story.
J Godse: What is this? You are ruining the life of a student? What kind of conduct this is? Somebody expresses something you want to ruin the life of the student? How can you rusticate? Did you call upon an explanation?
What is the purpose of an educational institution? Is it only to educate academically? You need to reform a student or make a student into a criminal? We understand you want to take some action but you cannot refrain her from taking exams. Let her appear for the remaining three papers.
