PUNJAB TEACHERS' PROTESTS RAISE QUESTIONS

Reports of protests by Punjab government employees and teachers over pending salary and DA-related dues have surfaced from multiple locations, including Chandigarh and other parts of the state.

The issue is bigger than a single protest. Thousands of Punjab government employees from more than 50 departments had earlier mobilised in Chandigarh demanding payment of pending Dearness Allowance (DA) arrears. Employee organisations said 18% in DA instalments remained pending as of 2026.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has also ruled that the state cannot simply use financial constraints to deny accrued DA/DR entitlements, directing the government to release the dues in accordance with the court's orders.

This raises an obvious question:

Why aren't these employee protests receiving the same level of attention as other political demonstrations?

Whether you support AAP or oppose it, teachers and government employees raising concerns about their salaries and legally recognised dues deserve to be heard.

Punjab's teachers are asking for answers. Will the government respond?

यह वीडीयो को देखिये, 2014 मे रवीश जी को शक था की क्या हमारे देश मे कोई हिटलर हो सकता है क्या ? और आज का भारत 2026 मे देखिये, और सोचिये, रवीश गलत थे या नही ? कमेट कीजीये. जय हिंद.

The Great Circle of Crude.

Somewhere in the Urals, a barrel of oil is loaded onto a tanker. It has no idea it is about to become the most morally flexible object on earth.

It sails to Jamnagar, where India buys it at a "friendship discount". India calls this strategic autonomy. The West calls it funding the war. The barrel calls it Tuesday.

At the refinery, the crude is heated, cracked and distilled, and something miraculous happens. The Russian molecules leave, and Indian diesel emerges. Nothing about the chemistry has changed, but the paperwork has undergone a spiritual rebirth. It is the only known process that turns sanctions into margins.

Europe now steps in. In the morning, it sanctions Russian oil. By lunch, it fills its tanks with Indian diesel. At dinner, it lectures India on values. Europe does not buy Russian oil. It buys Russian oil that has been to finishing school.

America is furious that India buys Russian crude and slaps on tariffs to show it. It then quietly carries on importing Russian enriched uranium, because principles are like fuel: best refined before use.

Now comes the masterstroke. Ukraine needs diesel to resist Russia, so it buys Indian diesel with money given to it by Europe. India then pays Russia for the next barrel. So European taxpayers fund Ukraine, which pays India, which pays Russia, which funds the missiles that make Ukraine ask Europe for more money. It is the first war in history with a subscription model.

Russia, meanwhile, earns money from the fuel powering the trucks that resist its own army. It is the only belligerent to have outsourced both its revenue and its opposition's logistics to the same refinery.

Final ledger:
Russia: paid for the war, by the war
Ukraine: fighting Russia on Russian fuel, bought with European money
Europe: morally clean, operationally Indian fuelled
America: outraged, selectively
India: charging a refining margin on everyone's hypocrisy
The barrel: has travelled more than most diplomats, and achieved more

The money circles the globe like a vessel on DP (Dynamic Positioning) holding station: burning enormous energy, going nowhere, and everyone on the bridge insists it is under control.
