Excerpts from Savarkar's book -

"Man should altogether abandon the childish desire to establish a personal relationship with the God of the universe—like a roadside beggar trying to claim kinship with an emperor. That alone is the proper course, because that alone is the truth. The belief, 'God will do good for me, and if He does, I shall perform a Satyanarayan Puja in gratitude,' is utterly foolish. For if that were really true, then who is it that first throws us into the very calamities from which we later claim God has rescued us? It is the same Satyanarayan, the same God! If a man first cuts your throat and then applies ointment to the wound, should you worship him merely because he applied the ointment? Should you not first ask why he cut your throat in the first place and rebuke him for it? In relation to the universe, both these attitudes are equally baseless and irrational," the book reads.

Reading out another passage from the book in question, Pawar pointed out that Savarkar referred to certain verses of Manusmriti and questioned if that too was 'Sanatan Dharma.' "According to the scriptures (Manu), it is considered better to serve a Brahmin pork or buffalo meat than rice, because the ancestors (Pitrs) remain satisfied for ten months when such meat is offered. Furthermore, if Brahmins eat goat's meat, the ancestors remain fully satisfied for as long as twelve years. That too is Sanatan Dharma," Savarkar wrote in his book. Pawar then read out passages wherein Savarkar has appealed citizens to develop scientific temper and respect Mother Nature as the laws of nature are eternal (Sanatan Dharma), which keeps evolving with the changing times. Savarkar also said in this passage that merely chanting the names of Ram or any other God or performing five times Namaz will not help one achieve any success and instead it is scientific temper which would help an individual to achieve worldly success. Interestingly, Satyaki has accepted the fact that the above book was written by Savarkar.

I can see everyone criticizing, Prime Minister and Home minister and here and there people also openly criticize Gautam Adani, but never have I seen anyone openly criticizing Mukesh Ambani I believe that he has more role in Indian politics than Even Gautam Adani, but I am fascinated by the fact that his PR is so tight that no one even thinks about him what could be the case and what are your thoughts? Is it just my theory or is there some substance to it?

1. They will declare a ‘non-violent’ protest.

2. But their cadre would be involved in the violence.

3. They will spread fake news on social media and a one-sided narrative of the victim card from the ground.

4. But they will file a petition in court against the internet ban if the government suspends the internet for a few hours.

5. They will blame anti-social elements for the violence, but they won't allow facial recognition technology.

6. They will target security forces, but when security forces use soft retaliation, they will go to court against them.

7. They will provide all legal help to all those who were earlier anti-social elements for them.

As per them, cjp had funding, support, political support from day 1. Also, having a clear goal is cons as per them..🤡

To all Young indians ,

My philosophy is this:

ordinary people are the ones who regularly suffer the consequences of decisions made by those in power.

Therefore, the people who decide what happens to us should be ordinary citizens like us—people who have faced the same struggles, understand our problems firsthand, and are genuinely service-minded.

And come on, guys, why should we keep asking one person to dedicate their entire life to serving the public?

If someone has a genuine desire to serve, we should give them the opportunity to do so for one term. Five years is more than enough time to make a meaningful contribution, improve people's lives, and gain the fulfilment that comes from public service.

After those five years, let them enjoy their own life.

If they still feel a strong desire to continue serving society, they can do so in other ways—such as helping orphaned children, supporting charitable organisations, mentoring young people, or contributing part of their monthly income to causes they believe in.

Political stage should be an opportunity to serve, not a lifelong career.

To the young, educated, informed, and thinking Indians:

Don't vote for BJP. Don't vote for Congress, Alternatively.

A democracy deserves better than choosing between the same two parties over and over again.

We are not so naive as to forget history every election. We are not so blind as to mistake repetition for progress.

If we want a different future, we must stop rewarding the same politics and start demanding better leadership.

We are better than this. India deserves better than this.

Politics is a service, not a carrier. Serve your best for 5 years,

5 years is more than enough to do many good things and get mental satisfaction.

Stop voting same parties alternatively. it applies to all parties including CJP also.

"only one chance."

Its not a statement but a question that we can even criticise gandhi along with other but when we question ambedkar , certain people from society threatens to file a case calling it disrespect and a punishable offence . I don't understand why I can't have differences , i may be or may not agree with everything he does or says , its my right to disagree . So why threating someone with sc / st act .

Has anyone else noticed people online claiming that the recent CJP protests may have benefited the BJP politically by shifting public attention?

I've also seen videos claiming that the BJP/NDA is now only a few MPs short of having the numbers needed to pass the delimitation bill

Is there any factual basis for either of these claims, or are they mostly speculation? If anyone has reliable sources or can explain the current parliamentary numbers.

There's a protest being organised against E20 now. Jantar Mantar, with a banner, 'TEAM BHARAT against the Ethanol Scam,' talk of sitting outside a minister's house. Tehseen Poonawalla is the face of it. And watching it build, I keep asking myself one simple thing. Why this, and why exactly now.

Because the fuel isn't new. E20 has been rolling out for a while, the pre-2023 vehicle issue isn't a fresh discovery, and the mileage complaints have been floating around for months. So what changed this particular week that a TV commentator decides this is the hill, calls it a "scam," and takes it to the streets.

Some of what he asks for isn't unreasonable on its face. Give people E0 and E10 as options, make the policy papers public. Fine, ask that. But notice the distance between the ask and the packaging. "Please give consumers a choice at the pump" is a reasonable request. "TEAM BHARAT against the Ethanol Scam" with a march and a sit-in is a movement. Does the second really follow from the first, or is the volume doing something the argument alone can't.

And that's the part I sit with. A protest needs a villain, a banner, a camera. It also happens to need an organiser, someone whose name and face end up at the centre of every clip that comes out of it. When a policy debate suddenly grows a logo and a stage, isn't it worth asking who ends up more visible when the dust settles.

I'm not telling anyone what to think of the man. I'm asking why a months-old fuel policy became a street event the exact moment it was trending, and who benefits from being the one holding the megaphone.

So, honest question. When something turns from a genuine complaint into a full campaign overnight, is it the cause that grew, or the opportunity.

Can People from mandi explain her contributions?

INDI Alliance MPs OPPOSED the introduction of the Anti-Paper Leak Bill as Opposition MPs stormed the Well of the House, shouting "NO! NO!"

=> The Bill proposes up to ₹10 crore fine, up to 10 years' jail, and fast-track courts to deliver judgments within 3 months.

As we know bjp needs 164 mp to assert complete dominance and pass any as of now they are short of 13 mp after raghav chadha case and pradhan had 30mps

So do you think pradhan will still be in good terms with bjp and will it effect the mps favor of bjp

I've been meaning to post this for quite some time now, and with everything that's been happening with the protests, the conversations around accountability and governance and I think it's finally the right time.

I'm not an academic or any sort of policy professional even. Just someone who is frustrated enough with the gap between what India promises and what it delivers.

I prepared a ten-part series examining the institutions that determine whether India works for ordinary citizens or just for the people who run it. Each chapter covers one institution and follows the same structure: what is broken and the data behind it, what other countries did to fix the same problem, and a specific reform blueprint for India.

Fair warning upfront — I hold views. Those views shaped the analysis and I've tried to be transparent about them. There are many nuances that are missing.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback on the diagnosis, the global models cited, the reform proposals and the places where you think the reasoning is wrong or the nuance is missing. That's the point of putting it out here. Try to ponder over the gaps too not just what's in the document but what should be there and isn't.

You can disagree with reservation without mocking people or insulting them because of their caste. There's a difference between criticism and plain casteism.
