I asked #Muttaqi as to why are Afghan young girls and women barred from schools and education institutes when other islamic nations and ideologies including Iran, Syria, Saudi or Deoband educate their girls. And also if he regrets the brutal killing of journalist #DanishSiddiqui

This is the sisterhood between Indian women and Afghan women- every country in the world should only send women to deal with the taliban.

Taliban’s suppression of Afghan women & girls through use of State power is the fundamentalist misogynist insecurity of men. On foreign soil, they stand exposed by strong, articulate women who prove the power of sisterhood in bringing men like this down a notch or 2. Bravo!

This 8-minute speech by Kairana MP Iqra Hasan is a must watch. A woman politician addressing an all-male panchayat of her supporters and critics in west UP.

Pollution IS NOT a seasonal issue. It’s a system issue. A total failure of Modi government — it had to be fixed at the Centre level taking all states together. We’ve been tracking this issue through the year and didn’t just wake up on Diwali like most.

The visceral hostility of the NDA government to scholars and scholarship is something to behold. A government ideologically committed to Hindi has banned Francesca Orsini. You can't make this up.

Congratulations. New Delhi the most polluted capital in the world for YEARS now. Beijing, which was once most polluted, managed to control its pollution problem years ago. They did it for sake of citizens health, and the international shame it brought.

Whether pre-existing pollution is because of stubble burning, or aliens landing. To know something is already hazardous and then to deliberately make it worse for yourself and your family. It’s inexplicable. Young kids, old parents, their lungs won’t ask whose fault it is.

We have become a joke. Cities are falling apart, so are the Himalayas. Not one government body is doing what it is supposed to do. No quality standards, no answerability. Just reel-hungry union ministers seeking mileage even out of a Sanganeri blanket.

.Amish Tripathi Amish, there is a difference between speaking a language and investigating its history, politics, linguistics, etc., in a scholarly way. You are writing in English. There is voluminous scholarship about its history, formation, philology, and so on. There are

"Modi’s response to this crisis is to avoid rooms where Trump might be present. This strategy of evasion cannot hold. ...India needs its prime minister to show up, to defend its interests, to negotiate from whatever strength remains, and to stop pretending..." My piece The Telegraph

Important: So sixth instalment of Rs 10,000 was given to approx 10 lakh women in Bihar yesterday. Another instalment to be given on 7th November 4 days before polling. Since Model Code in place, 3 cash instalments handed out already. Isn’t this VOTE KHARIDI? EC ‘sources’ call it

#SwachhHawaAbhiyan - Peek TV exposes ‘data manipulation’ attempts by the Delhi Government at air quality monitoring stations. In Jahangirpuri, Peek TV found that the Delhi Govt’s anti-smog water-tankers are constantly watering only the immediate vicinity of the monitor.

Enough AQI monitors exist in the market today to expose the manipulation of pollution data by the govt. The figures have been well above 350-400 for a few days now. What a joke, really. And it’s on us, the public, in case anyone is confused.

This one scene from HBO’s The Newsroom taught me more journalism than Indian Newsrooms. ‘It’s a person. The Doctor Pronounces Them Dead, Not The News’ Shame on Fast/First News TV. #DharmendraDeol

Isn't it a bit scary that the police has arrested all past owners of the #delhiblast i20? They registered the sale of the car as reqd by law but the third or other new owner has gone and planned an attack with this car and all old owners must pay price! hindustantimes.com/india-news/two…

India’s “new security doctrine” has spread a kind of hush…all over the Indian media, and some other habitual offenders. Remarkably restrained. So well behaved. Even 24 hrs after #Delhiblast. No calls for war. Oh, the irony of unintended consequences.

I have maintained before and after the Pahalgam terror attack that there are two kinds of terrorists -- foreign-trained infiltrated terrorists and home-grown terrorists I said so in Parliament during the debate on Operation Sindoor I was mocked and trolled for the reference to
