I want folks to reflect on the logic which the government is following on the flow of information. 1. Indian news channels ran programming for hours last night reporting that the Indian Navy had been deployed and had bombed and destroyed Karachi Port. 2. Indian news channels ran

Dear people who are creating unending amount of disinformation during this period of conflict, could you please avoid using video game clips. They are extremely boring to debunk, we have to sit and watch hours of mindless videos to find an exact match. Kindly co-operate.

Aslah Kayyalakkath Maktoob Taken on the ship with "...hands tied and their eyes blindfolded" and "thrown" into the sea with lifejackets. These include kids of 15 and 16. Our moral compass collapsed a long time ago, I know, but this still manages to drag us down to a new low.

This is shocking beyond belief. Clearly the assurance given by the Solicitor General before Supreme Court of India is not worth the oxygen of his breath. I'm horrified and ashamed of my country today. UNHumanRightsCouncil Vrinda Grover SANJAY HEGDE

Inspiring struggle by Adivasis in village Karadikallu in Nagarahole National Park to undo the historic injustice of evicting them from their ancestral village. Siddaramaiah must intervene to stop Forest Department harassment and ensure they live peacefully in their village.

"By no stretch of immigration". I almost feel sorry for this woman, who never thought her stupidity will be exposed on national television one fine day. If this interview is not evidence of malafide against Ali Khan Mahmudabad I don't know what is.

This needs to be printed and put up on notice boards and refrigerators across homes and offices. Thank you for reposting TheLiverDoc and for the work you do 🙏🏾

Nobody died in this, btw, because the government funds experts who predicted this event and everyone (including animals) was evacuated. If something like this were to happen in the Himalayas of India or Nepal… hundreds if not thousands would have lost their lives.

Can anyone answer this simple question in our magnificent democracy? Why is Umar in jail for 4 years, 8 months, and 15 days, a total of 1,718 days? Isn't prison for criminals? If he is a criminal, what crime has he been convicted of?

This is ridiculous. High court judges retire at the sprightly age of 62 years. They can re- enter law practice (as senior advocates), take up arbitrations, teach, write, lecture, and more. This is not required in addition to their pensions.

Life Update: Last week, I received a notice from two Supreme Court lawyers asking me to take down my recent stand-up video on the Kashmir terror attack (and another unrelated clip).
