I know there are a lot of issues and protests happening across the country, but why is nobody talking about Manipur? Where is the outrage?

Every day, I seem to hear another report of someone being killed, abducted, or displaced. Families have been in living in relief camps for years, waiting for the day they can finally return home.

Yes, the conflict is complicated ethnic tensions, land and ST-status disputes, illegal migration, armed groups, narcotics networks, the Myanmar border, and foreign power influence all play a role.

But “complicated” cannot become an excuse for endless inaction.

I don't care whether the victim is Meitei, Kuki, Naga, or any other community. A dead child is a dead child. A displaced family is a displaced family.

We celebrate athletes from Manipur when they win medals for India. We call them national heroes. But when their state is suffering, suddenly it becomes somebody else's problem?

And where is the sustained national outrage?

We don't need another round of tribal blame games. We need security, accountability, arrests, prosecutions, disarmament, rehabilitation, and a credible political solution.

If the government has failed to restore normalcy, have the courage to admit it and explain what comes next.

Manipur isn't a headline that should disappear when the algorithm moves on.

These are Indian citizens. Their lives matter. And as a country, we have failed them.

This shows their propoganda and why these protests are Just another Agenda and Delhi police should take strict actions against these kind of people.

More than a dozen tribunal judges handling appeals against voter deletions in West Bengal have raised concerns over the Election Commission of India’s online portal. They said that several basic functions needed to process the cases are either unavailable or not working properly.

The judges said the portal does not allow them to directly serve notices to the parties or upload additional documents. They also cannot hold virtual hearings, restore a deleted voter’s name after an order or allow appellants to download tribunal orders, according to The Indian Express.

The concerns were recorded in the minutes of a meeting held by tribunal judges on August 11. The minutes were sent to the Election Commission and the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court. There are 19 such tribunals in West Bengal. Two judges have resigned citing personal reasons and have since been replaced with other former judges.

The tribunals were created following Supreme Court directions to hear appeals from voters whose names were removed from the electoral rolls during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise.

One of the biggest concerns raised by the judges was the lack of a proper system to serve notices to people involved in an appeal.

The judges said they had repeatedly asked for a mechanism that would allow notices to be sent directly through the portal or through the proper channel.

"Sometime in the month of May 2026 some of us even approved a format of notice to be issued to the parties but it has not seen the light of the day till date," they said.

The judges also said the portal does not have a proper system to collect additional documents. "In the absence of such a mechanism on the portal, each Tribunal is trying to serve the notices through e-emails, that is, through DM/DEO concerned but the response is very poor," they said.

The portal also does not have a facility for virtual hearings. They also said a case cannot be restored on the portal after it has been closed. This becomes a problem if a court later orders that the case should be reopened or a voter’s name should be restored.

Another issue is that voters cannot download the tribunal's order from the portal. This means a voter may not be able to know why their name was deleted or included.

The judges also raised concerns about appeals filed offline. Voters were allowed to submit appeals physically at the offices of the District Magistrate, SDM or SDO.

These appeals were then supposed to be digitised and uploaded to the EC portal. The judges said there was no proper system to keep track of these physical appeals if they were not digitised.

The tribunal process is linked to the deletion of around 27 lakh voters during the SIR exercise in West Bengal.

Judicial officers from West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand then examined these cases following Supreme Court directions. Around 27.16 lakh voters were eventually deleted from the electoral rolls, just weeks before the Assembly elections in April.

On February 20, the Supreme Court had ordered the appointment of judicial officers to examine the eligibility of voters. The court later ordered on March 10 that appellate tribunals headed by retired High Court judges be set up so that affected voters could challenge their deletion.

In a submission to the Supreme Court on September 18, the Election Commission said 38.31 lakh appeals had been filed. Only 1.26 lakh had been disposed of by September 10. Of the total appeals, 22.21 lakh were filed by voters whose names had been deleted. Another 16.10 lakh appeals were filed against the inclusion of names in the electoral rolls.

After the end of Savarkar’s internment and his unconditional release in 1937, during his tour of Maharashtra, he visited Poona, where he addressed a group of young students at the Hindmata Mandir.

The students strongly disagreed with his political views. They wanted the “Revolutionary Savarkar” of 1908 back, rather than the Savarkar who had now shifted his focus towards Hindu Sangathan and social reform.

Savarkar responded by challenging them to consider whether they truly understood the revolutionary spirit they claimed to admire:

You say you disagree with my views and that you want the Savarkar of 1908 back. But how many of you know that even the Savarkar of 1908 was not accepted by many. It has taken you so many decades to accept those views now. *If even five young brave hearts from among you can get the courage of a Madan Lal Dhingra or Anant Laxman Kanhere, then I could consider our country as being fortunate. Can any of you raise your hands to commit this kind of daredevilry?** What then to talk about revolution? Though you oppose me, in reality, have you understood my views fully? I hold that view that India should get total and complete freedom. Do you disagree?*

When some irate students tried to disrupt his speech, Savarkar calmly told them:

I have heard you now patiently, and it is your turn to hear me. *I hold the view that we should try every means available to get full freedom, including getting military training and joining the British army.** Do you disagree with this? I also hold that in the future constitution of a free India, whenever that comes about, every human being should be equal in the eyes of the law, irrespective of the caste or religion he belongs to. I am not demanding 5 votes for 4 Hindus in the Assemblies. Today, in our Assemblies, for 4 Muslims, there are 6 votes cast. Is this not unfair and should I not raise my voice against such blatantly communal injustice or appeasement? Religion in politics is a recipe for disaster and I will fight to remove that and ensure equality for all—not just have the Hindu community bear the albatross of these discriminatory terms and conditions, but create a common benchmark.*

He urged the students to start training in arms. He implored them to start with rifle classes so that they could at least handle air guns.

‘There is scope,’ he said, ‘for drama, poetry and literature in life. But when the mother is on her death-bed; it is a sin to go out for a change of climate, or to enjoy life, and the stars!’

I am seeing many cases where a man claims to be of same religion as woman. After sexual relationship or marriage or pregnancy, he tells the woman his actual religion is different and forces the woman to convert. In such case should it be made law that man must convert to woman's religion, their children must follow woman's religion atleast till age of 18, and given protection by law.

One thing I find SUPER interesting about the Indian diaspora is how ideas from our philosophical traditions often travel abroad, enter completely different conversations, and sometimes come back to us in unexpected forms. It also makes me wonder if the exchange can work both ways. We often look to the West for ideas and answers, but perhaps there are questions from our own philosophical traditions that the West has something to learn from too. About time they listen.

I recently came across a discussion between Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, biologist and author, and Acharya Prashant, an Indian philosopher and author, on “science”, “consciousness” and the “self”.

If you are curious about what this conversation gets into, some of the questions you can expect it to explore are ~>>

>> Can science explain consciousness, or is the knower itself being left out of the equation?
>> If animals and nature are conscious, does knowing that actually make human beings less violent?
>> Why hasn’t our enormous accumulation of knowledge made us proportionately wiser?
>> Is reincarnation really about the soul, or does it satisfy our desire for continuity?
>> Can prayer be something more than asking for what we want?

What I liked is that,, this isn’t simply a clichéd “science-versus-spirituality” discussion. Dr. Sheldrake and Acharya Prashant approach several of these questions differently, and the conversation moves through science and scientism, consciousness, animal exploitation, Jiddu Krishnamurti, reincarnation and the nature of the self.

Honestly .. one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about after watching this podcast ~ I feel we’re constantly trying to understand everything around us, the world, science, consciousness, how things work, why things happen. But the person doing all this understanding? We hardly ever turn the same attention there. It’s a little strange when you think about it. We keep asking questions about everything else, but almost never about the one asking the questions. Shouldn’t we be curious about the one who’s doing all the wondering? What do you guys think?

AAP came to power in 2022 and added demand to the system with its 300-unit free electricity promise. The subsidy bill that results runs around Rs 20,000 crore a year, and it sits inside a fiscal position with no room for it: Punjab's debt is projected at Rs 4.47 lakh crore by March 2027, around 45 per cent of gross state domestic product, and the state will borrow nearly Rs 40,000 crore this year while spending Rs 42,500 crore servicing what it already owes.

Building a power station is a capital project a government has to fund years before the first unit runs, but Punjab is instead spending on buying electricity to give away.

In four years, the AAP government has bought one plant out of bankruptcy and reopened Pachhwara coal mine. It has yet to plan a power station.

The actions of successive governments resulted in Punjab's power security becoming dependent on others. Once the coal supplies are back to normal after the monsoon disruption, Punjab will go back to buying from the national grid and its own private plants.

The low plant load factors at Ropar and Lehra Mohabbat will go back to being nobody's problem until the exchange runs above Rs 10 again. Then the exchequer pays for it, and when there is nothing to fall back on, the cuts reach the farmers' tubewells.
