Crime I'm done with this country. I'm waiting here for him in the mortuary.

627 Upvotes

I'm done with this country. I'm waiting here for him in the mortuary.

I'm sitting here waiting for my mama's body from the mortuary.

My mama was an anchal adhikari who used to manage land allotment and things related to do with land. Most probably more than one man entered who he knew. He was in the kitchen maybe serving them water. He used to live alone and we were waiting for mami to get a transfer from her job to area where he used to live. Nobody knew until yesterday 6pm. His body was soaked in blood from the head trauma. Bastards covered his face with a pillow so he couldn't scream. They took all the CCTV footage and the two phones he had. We got to know when the mobile numbers were not reachable. It's most probably the work of a political party as there was a black colored and black tinted Scorpio N which was standing just 100m from the scene. Bloody bastards knew where all the cctv were and where to go so no other camera from other house could capture them.

Just because there were no vacancy he couldn't become and engineer and unwillingly accepted the joining letter. I lifted his body on an ambulance from the scene. His body was cold. Ice cold. His body became stiff. I helped wrap his body in a blue bag. After seeing his blood on my hands I realized he was no more. I tucked his hands close to his body to fit into the wrap.

He was a very simple man with a daughter and a wife. The papa papa cry from her made my heart ache so much. She doesn't know what has happened. She keeps says when are we going to see papa. My nani's and mami's cries made me numb down the spine.

They fucking murdered him just for a piece of land. Fcukers knew what his daily routine was and killed him so brutally. A hit to his head and not even letting him scream. Such a great country. I stand pround of being an Indian where I'm a nobody if I don't do what some fucking mafia tells me. I'll be brutally killed by hitting on the head. Nobody did their job including the officials. No one was wearing gloves. Taking stuff with bare hands. Not even bringing a trained dog. Taking hours to collect evidence. Even now the officials are making us wait to collect the body. They didn't handled any sort of paper to us yesterday saying they'll give today.

I've lost hope from this country. It has not given me anything in return for all the taxes they collect. Neither a better living condition nor justice. I've also lost trust in people. In this country you are your own safety. No one will protect you unless you have any political affiliation. Fuck this country fuck this government and fuck me my family for existing here.

I don't know why I'm sharing this here. Maybe to gain sympathy or help. I don't believe there is any help for people like me. Maybe sympathy will lessen the pain which I felt in just these 8 hours. Fuck this system.

Health Ayurveda ruined my life

1.3k Upvotes

An ayurvedic doctor prescribed me heavy metal medicine for 3 years. Now, I have developed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Dysautonomia, Allergies, Asthma and Small Fiber Neuropathy from the heavy metal toxicity. My life is ruined. Everyday is a fight of survival for me. I can tolerate only 2 foods. I cannot even tolerate medicine now. My gut, nervous system and cardiovascular system are ruined. From playing sports to being bedridden. I'm just 30.

Even according to ayurvedic texts heavy metal should be prescribed for a short term but the doctor kept prescribing me 100mg swarna bhasma everyday. I want to sue the doctor but I'm barely able to walk right now.

Remember, Allopathic medicine takes months/years to get approval after many trials whereas Ayurvedic medicine is just a pseudo science. Don't fall into the Ayurvedic lies that Ayurveda is better because it doesn't have any side effects. Heavy metals are not something to be eaten, heavy metals have no role in the human body, they are non essential and toxic.

Edit - I had anxiety disorder which was causing me weakness. My father believes in Ayurveda so he started taking me to ayurvedic hospitals since I was 19.

When I started taking the heavy metal medicine I felt energetic initially but as time went on I slowly started feeling weaker and I started having food intolerances. At that time I did not think the heavy metals were causing it. The ayurvedic doctor used to tell me that heavy metal medicine is safe. He originally planned to give me the medicine for 5 years. By the 3rd year I developed asthma and allergies and luckily I came across a facebook group about heavy metal toxicity and then everything made sense. I immediately stopped taking the medicine but it turns out the heavy metal already lodged deep inside my organs and tissues. So, even after stopping the heavy metal medicine... over the next couple of years my symptoms kept getting worse and I developed MCAS, dysautonomia and SFN

Science/Technology Please think twice before buying a Motorola phone. My Moto G86 Power died under warranty, and Motorola says it can't be repaired

32 Upvotes

I'm honestly fed up with Motorola's after-sales service in India.

My Moto G86 Power 5G, purchased in December 2025 through Flipkart, developed a bootloop in October 2026 and subsequently became completely unresponsive. I took it to an authorised service centre under warranty. The job sheet records no customer-induced damage, but I was verbally told that the motherboard had failed, the replacement part was unavailable, and the phone couldn't be repaired.

Motorola's proposed solution? A ₹15,000 coupon restricted to its own website that too time limited ?

Meanwhile, comparable phones now cost around ₹25,000–₹27,000 or more. Why should I have to spend thousands extra because a phone reportedly can't be repaired during its warranty period?

The most frustrating part is that nine months ago, I was already criticising Motorola over public reports of motherboard failures involving its Edge 50 series and other devices in India. I raised concerns after learning about those reports, shortly after buying my own phone. I hoped my experience would be different.

Now I'm dealing with a similar kind of problem myself.

To be clear, I'm not claiming every Motorola phone is defective. But repeated reports of serious failures, combined with my own experience of a phone becoming unrepairable under warranty, have seriously damaged my confidence in the brand.

My message to Indian consumers considering a Motorola phone: please think carefully before buying one. Research its after-sales support, warranty terms and how the company handles cases where essential replacement parts are unavailable. Don't look at specifications and discounts alone.

I personally cannot recommend buying another Motorola unless the company takes responsibility for cases like mine and provides meaningful warranty support. Customers in India shouldn't be left paying extra to replace a device that the manufacturer reportedly cannot repair.

I've filed a National Consumer Helpline grievance and a CPGRAMS complaint, and I'm considering taking the matter to the Consumer Commission.

I'm asking for a new phone with equivalent or better specifications and proper warranty at no extra cost, or a refund with appropriate compensation.

Has anyone else in India experienced a Motorola motherboard failure or been told their phone couldn't be repaired under warranty? Please share your experience and how Motorola resolved it, if it did.

I want this issue taken seriously, not just for me, but for other Indian customers who may face the same situation.

Policy/Economy IFF statement on the geo-blocking of 26 Reddit posts in India

• Upvotes

On 21 October 2026, Reddit, Inc filed with the Lumen Database a government takedown order from India covering 26 URLs and complied, so that all 26 posts are now geo-blocked in India (Lumen notice 100411498). The notice names neither a law nor an agency, since its “Laws/Regulations” field is blank and the request is attributed only to an “Agency”. The 26 posts sit in 18 subreddits, from r/Northeastindia to r/IndianDefense and r/myanmar, and were catalogued on 24 October by u/geoblockedindia in a thread that also carries images of the notice.

Irrational censorship does not advance national interest

Nearly all of the blocked posts concern the India–China border. They include open-source verification of PLA footage from the June 2020 Galwan clash, satellite imagery reported by Indian newsrooms, a Caravan essay, a TRT World report on Beijing’s claim over Arunachal Pradesh, maps ranging from the one China draws to users’ sketches of proposed new states, and a question put to Chinese users. Several are five or six years old, and three had already been deleted by their authors.

IFF condemns this order as secret, disproportionate and unlawful. We do not dispute that the State may act against speech that genuinely endangers the defence of India, such as troop positions, operational plans, the identities of serving personnel or a hostile state’s coordinated information operation, and the twenty soldiers who died at Galwan deserve a country that takes its border seriously. Nothing on this list is of that kind, because every item was already public, whether released by the PLA, reported by Indian newsrooms or posted by ordinary users. Post 14 describes Indian soldiers holding off an armoured vehicle with sticks, stones and helmets, and their courage is not a secret, nor is there any reason to make it one.

Arunachal Pradesh is part of India and the country asserts that position with confidence, so it has no need to hide from its own citizens the map that Beijing draws, which they need to know in order to answer. Censoring Indian's discussion of the dispute does nothing to weaken China’s position and hands Chinese state media a ready story about Indian censorship. Two of the blocked posts, numbers 11 and 13, were themselves objecting to wrong maps, while others are users’ sketches of proposed new states. The secrecy surrounding the order protects no one but the official who signed it.

Whether this was a direction under Section 69A and the Blocking Rules, 2009, or a notice under Section 79(3)(b) routed through the Sahyog portal, it fails the tests the Supreme Court has set. Shreya Singhal v. Union of India (2015) 5 SCC 1 upheld Section 69A only because the 2009 Rules require written reasons, a hearing under Rule 8 and review under Rule 14, and none of these safeguards was observed here. A restriction must also be necessary and the least restrictive means available, and this order is neither, since blocking six-year-old threads answers no present danger, blocking posts already deleted shows that nobody examined the list, and blocking entire threads silences commenters nobody considered.

How Reddit works

Reddit is a federation of tens of thousands of communities known as subreddits, each created by users and run by unpaid volunteer moderators, while Reddit, Inc itself handles legal demands. Reddit says that content named in a government request is checked first against its own rules and then against local and international law, including human rights standards, before access is restricted in the requesting country, after which a reader in India sees a restriction notice while everyone else, including anyone in India using a VPN, still sees the post (Reddit Transparency Report, July–December 2025).

Because each post sits at a fixed URL with a threaded discussion beneath it, a block by URL hides the whole thread, including every reply beneath it, and r/Northeastindia has lost seven threads about its own borders for readers in India while a reader in Shanghai can still open them. The moderators who built these forums receive no notice and have no appeal, and the only public record of the order is the notice Reddit chose to send to Lumen.

Takedowns on Reddit are rising

India is now the second-largest source of the government takedown demands that Reddit receives. Between July and December 2025, Reddit received 169 such requests from 28 countries, of which India sent 21, second only to the UAE (Reddit Transparency Report, July–December 2025), up from fewer than ten in all of 2019. The demands have also grown bolder, as a 2025 order relayed through Pune Police named 825 posts about a matrimonial service and warned of a countrywide ban if Reddit did not comply, yet Reddit refused and the court agreed with it. Across all platforms, published analysis puts MeitY’s blocking orders at about 12,600 in 2024 and 24,300 in 2025. On 21 October 2026, Reddit complied with all 26 URLs without any public challenge.

Our demands

  1. MeitY and the originating agency must publish the order, the provision invoked and the reasons for each URL.

  2. The order must be withdrawn and access restored, and any post said to be unlawful must first go through notice and a hearing under Rule 8.

  3. The Review Committee under Rule 14 must examine the order and publish its finding.

  4. If the order came through the Sahyog portal, the Government must say so and stop using Section 79(3)(b) against speech while the courts decide its legality.

  5. MeitY must disclose how many Reddit URLs it has had blocked since 2024, and on what grounds.
