BJP will have to understand that the voters in the 18-24 age group in 2029 will not be like those in 2014. They are not readers but reelers. Most of them wouldn't have picked up a print newspaper ever. Their political knowledge doesn't come from books but from Instagram.
Rahul Gandhi doesn't need to convince these distracted kids that something is wrong. He doesn't need to prove it to them. He just has to plant that idea, and that could swing the majority of the votes in this grouping. And that is exactly what he is doing right now.
Genuinely concerned about how much fake news is being spread about the electoral process. Absolutely zero resistance. ECI's press releases are not going to cut it. No one reads them, not even journalists (some of them). This plague of fake narratives must be addressed.

Jews in the Middle East saw Iran's nuclear program as an existential threat. No diplomacy. No dialogue. Complete elimination. A Hindu nation, meanwhile, in the 1980s, allowed Pakistan's nuclear program to go on, despite the wars in 1948, 1965, and 1971. Despite Kashmir.
This is where Jews and Hindus are poles apart. Jews, or even the Chinese for that matter, think a thousand years ahead. An average Hindu's mental bandwidth can't comprehend anything beyond 5 years, and now with rapid news cycles, nothing beyond 5 days. Crude but true.
Hindus question an 'Operation Sindoor'. Jews prepare for the next operation. Hindus call for 'De-escalation'. Jews dismantle the threat. Some Hindus, a month later, appear ungrateful about Operation Sindoor for their politics. Jews are united against existential threats.

What happened in Ahmedabad today has happened before as well. Only a year ago. A sharp mid-air descent, but the flight in Ahmedabad had little time. However, the flight going from Sydney to Auckland had far more time and altitude, which may have prevented an air disaster.
On March 11, 2024, LATAM Flight 800, a Boeing 787-9, nosedived mid-flight from Sydney to Auckland. 50 of 272 on board were injured, some hitting the ceiling. No fatalities, but a terrifying ordeal. The Ahmedabad flight crashed from an altitude of 600 feet.
Two hours into the flight, cruising at 41,000 ft, the plane plunged, about 400 feet, briefly—passengers called it a “free-fall.” Unsecured folks slammed into the cabin roof, leaving dents. 12 hospitalised, 1 seriously hurt. The 787 landed safely in Auckland, thankfully.

Decoding the ACTUAL IMPACT of the INDUS WATER TREATY; and the larger picture in play.

Incomplete information about the Indus Water Treaty and its abeyance is being spread. Beyond the rhetoric, here is the story in numbers, facts, and ground realities.
Before we get started, you need to understand what MAF means (million acre feet). The volume of water that would cover 1 million acres to a depth of 1 foot' is how we describe MAF. That's 2.73 times the area of Delhi (1,484 sq km).

Why is this important?
Because every year, 135-145 MAF flows from Chenab, Jhelum, and Indus into Pakistan. 1 MAF can sink an area 2.7 times the size of Delhi by one foot.

The amount of water that flows into Pakistan from these three rivers annually can fill Bhakra-Nangal Reservoir 24 times. Image

How to interpret the Supreme Court's observations on 'Waqf Amendment Act of 2025' and 'Waqf by User'. Is it a defeat for the Modi Government? Is the scrapping of the law imminent, or is it all merely social media noise?

A complete breakdown with legal aspects factored.
Whenever you hear 'Waqf by User', think of 'verbal declarations' that were made to take over private or public property. Nehru's Govt included the religious concept of 'Waqf by User' in 1954. We did not have it during the British Raj. Image
Whenever you hear 'Waqf by User', think 'not registered', since verbal declarations are without paperwork, based on the presumption that a religious or charitable function was carried out on the said land parcel once upon a time. It's as arbitrary as you can imagine.

A few questions on the National Herald case, beyond politics, that every common citizen must ask. These are questions of the common sense variety, so don't get confused by the jargon that will be thrown by the likes of Jairam Ramesh, musings anchor, and the Congress.
Question One. AJL accumulated a lot of debt, as much as Rs. 90 Crore, but why was no one else to bail them out? Over a thousand stakeholders and none of them could get a set of promoters to keep them afloat, or better, bail them out? Even with the legacy they had as a newspaper?
Question Two. The debt was owed to Congress, but suddenly, YIL came into being in 2010 (peak UPA), with almost 75% stake owned by the Gandhi family (mother and son). Was YIL a company engineered only for this purpose, and why majority stake with one family?

How To Make Sense of the National Herald Case

Over the next few days, you are going to witness an overdose of self-victimisation from the usual suspects in the Congress ecosystem, and therefore, let's breakdown the National Herald Case
Imagine you default on a credit card from the bank. Your default amount is Rs. 50,000. You can easily ask your parents to pay it off, or your friends, or deploy your skills to earn the money in three months. Yet, for some reason, you choose to default.
Now, the bank chooses to take action against you, but it doesn't go after your credit score, or doesn't block your card, but chooses to confiscate your house, with a value of Rs. 2 Crore. Imagine losing a house worth 2 Crore for a debt of Rs. 50,000.
