Indian Political Discussion

These are the politicians in the opposition. They keep beating every other dead issue every now and then to ensure a few moments in the headlines. What a bunch of imbeciles.
And when one call them Anti National for such acts their supporters chimp out. Tell me how is this not anti National behaviour? They lost the election in 2014 precisely because of this behaviour yet they haven't changed a bit since last 11 years.
"During the entire operation, there was not even a one-kilometre movement of the military,” he said. “Whatever unfolded over two or three days was purely aerial warfare and missile warfare. Future wars will be fought the same way. In that context, do we really need to maintain an army of 12 lakh soldiers, or can they be deployed elsewhere?”
I am quoting chavan here. That is just plain treason. A former CM can't be this stupid to say this by mistake or not understanding military dynamics.
Its not just what he said, it's the context and the way he said it. He is definitely seeking votes of Pakistan sympathisers. I think congress has seen that muslim population is increasing at unprecedented pace, while caste narrative is fueled to aid conversion, by fermenting fear among Dalits and crafting narrative as if muslims and Christians don't have social hierarchy and difference between them. Since independence, we are taught about caste in hindus but never about shia, sunni, wahabis, khan, syed, ashrafi etc belonging to different hierarchy and discrimination taking place. And I fear, many teenagers are vulnerable to such soft tactics given the weak hindu ecosystem.
Suhel Seth can be quite over the top sometimes. However, he was bang on when it comes to this particular issue. If the Environment Minister cannot do anything and the states refuse to pay heed to the issue, the PMO should step up and do something. It is unfortunate but someone has to get the ball rolling. The seriousness of medical emergencies due to air pollution across India is set to reach alarming proportions in a couple of years. The GoI will not be able to wash its hands off this issue. PMO will need to take some harsh steps and impose certain measures to truly bring respite to the society at large across all states.
We will have to make a list of activities that can be stopped for reducing pollution
Or install Large Air Purifier Towers on the Roads but they also will have to be protected from damage and theft
I do not know what to say. They went to BD for higher studies.

“On behalf of the All India Medical Students’ Association, we respectfully seek your immediate and urgent intervention concerning the safety and well-being of Indian medical students currently stranded in Bangladesh,” the letter stated.
“Their security remains vulnerable, leading to immense fear, anxiety, and emotional distress among the students as well as their families.”
The medical body underlined that Indian students who pursue medical education abroad do so with the expectation that the Indian government will support and protect them during crises. It urged the Prime Minister to coordinate closely with the Minister of External Affairs and Indian missions in Bangladesh to ensure immediate protection for all affected students.

In a major breach of national security, a suspected Bangladeshi illegal immigrant allegedly obtained an Indian passport allegedly using a police clearance he arranged with the help of a police constable and forged documents, Vitla police have found.
Shakti Das, had been residing within the jurisdiction of Vitla police station for the past eight years. He had documents stating that he is a resident of West Bengal.
Das had initially applied for a passport in February 2025, but the application was rejected for discrepancies in the address mentioned in the application and in official records. However, he submitted a second application in June 2025.
It's time the centre passes an act notifying public servants of prosecution under the UAPA & NSA for facilitating such documentation. Make an example of a few & the rest get the message very well.Cop helps ‘immigrant’ get Indian passport in Mangaluru, arrested

Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys is how the Chinese put it.
It is truly vexing why they have not done so already. If they are serious about national security, they should plan something along such lines. There have been so many cases that I have now lost count.
Hundreds of accused have been arrested in an overnight crackdown in Delhi as the national capital gears up for New Year celebrations. The arrests stood at over 660 in the South and South East Delhi districts. Dozens of weapons, lakhs in cash, illicit liquor, drugs, and other stolen items were also seized in a preemptive action under Operation Aaghat 3.0.
The crackdown aimed at preventing crimes during the festive period. Coordinated searches were held across vulnerable areas within a span of 24 hours till this morning to take suspected troublemakers into custody. The joint operation was carried out by South and South East district police.
South East district alone accounted for 285 arrests during the intensified security drive, police said, adding that all the arrests were made under various laws, including provisions of the Arms Act, the Excise Act, the NDPS Act, and the Gambling Act.
Nick Fuentes and the Groypers: How Foreign Bots Built America's Anti-Indian Hate Movement
There is a particular moment in every demagogue’s career when rhetoric turns into a project. Not the early period of noisy adolescence, when insult fu
swarajyamag.com
The primary rhetorical engine driving anti-Indian sentiment is the “Great Replacement Theory” (GRT) applied to the labour market. The Centre for the Study of Hate and Extremism (CSO) released a report analysing anti-Indian racism on X (formerly Twitter) between July and September 2025. The data is stark: narratives framing Indians as “invaders” and “job thieves” accounted for 69.7% of high-engagement racist posts, generating over 111.8 million views.
Indians were, until recently, often relegated to the background.
They were tolerated as economically useful immigrants. Admired begrudgingly in Silicon Valley and mocked occasionally in the adolescent corners of the internet for accents, tech support clichés, or food jokes. But hatred requires an organising narrative. And for a long time, Indians did not appear to threaten the fantasy architecture of white nationalist America.
Then something changed.
It was not a single moment. It was a slow accumulation of symbolism. Indians were no longer peripheral. They were visible. They were present in boardrooms, running companies that define American life. They were increasingly visible in politics. They were senators’ spouses. They were gubernatorial frontrunners. They were not only participating in American civic life; they were credible contenders for its custodianship.
This is what Fuentes understood.
The far-right does not hate randomly. It hates strategically. And in 2025, strategic hate found a new object: the Indian-American who does not apologise for belonging.
When Fuentes ridicules Indian culture, when he deploys racial slurs with the smugness of a boy convinced the world belongs to him, when he screams “go back to India,” he is not merely indulging racism; he is asserting hierarchy. He is saying: you are here on tolerance. You are provisional. You are conditional. You are guests, and the house is not yours.
He is also saying it louder and more often than anyone with his reach has ever dared to do.
Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University partnered up to investigate Fuentes and published a report, "America Last: How Fuentes’s Coordinated Raids and Foreign Fake-Speech Networks Inflate His Influence"
Executive Summary and BLUF
Nick Fuentes’s surge into national visibility did not originate from a broad or sudden shift in American political sentiment. It emerged from a pattern of online amplification that was unusually fast, unusually concentrated, and unusually foreign in origin. This report examines the structure of that amplification, the signals it produced inside the information environment, and the ways mainstream, legacy institutions interpreted those signals as indicators of emerging relevance. The goal is not to explain Fuentes’s ideology or his existing audience, but to assess how synthetic engagement, real-world events, and media incentives converged to elevate a fringe figure into a central subject of national attention.
- Algorithmic Amplification Far Exceeds Legitimate Reach: Fuentes received dramatically higher early retweet velocity than any comparator, including Elon Musk (the platform’s most-followed user). Within the critical first 30 minutes, Fuentes routinely outperformed
accounts with 10-100× more followers.
- Early Engagement is Dominated by Repeat Actors: In a sample of 20 recent posts, 61% of Fuentes’s first-30-minute retweets came from accounts that retweeted multiple of these 20 posts within that same ultra-short window - behavior highly suggestive of coordination or automation.
- The Amplification Network is Overwhelmingly Anonymous & Ideologically Dedicated: 92% of repeat early-retweeters were fully anonymous (no real name, no real photo, no location, no contact info) and the majority are openly or functionally single-purpose “Groyper” / “America First” accounts whose primary activity is boosting Nick Fuentes and related fringextremist messaging.
- Foreign-Origin Amplification Dominated Fuentes’s Viral Posts: In the months before Charlie Kirk’s death, roughly half of the retweets on Fuentes’s most-viral posts came from foreign accounts, heavily concentrated in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Malaysia, and Indonesia.These regions have no organic link to Fuentes’s politics but do match the known geographic footprint of low-cost engagement farms, making the pattern consistent with bot-farm amplification rather than genuine foreign audiences.
- Mainstream Media Reinforcement: Since September 2025, mainstream media coverage increased more than threefold and high-status descriptions of Fuentes increased by 59.6%. Outlets also adopted markedly more polished visual treatments, including studio-grade portraits
controlled lighting, shallow depth of field, and editorial framing that visually positioned Fuentes as a consequential political figure.
- Fuentes Himself is Involved in Coordination: His manipulated reach is not accidental; full show transcripts reveal hundreds of real-time commands to “retweet this” and “retweet me,” establishing raid-style amplification as a core operating method. These directed raids built the
behavioral infrastructure of his account and laid the groundwork for consistent X policy violations by the anonymous and foreign network now amplifying him
One thing not mentioned in the summary is that retweets declined from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Malaysia, South Africa, Indonesia. And increased in France, UK, Canada, Other: Western Countries, Other: non-Western Countries. See page 22 of the report.
Needed in other cities as well.
Delhi Traffic Police has intensified its crackdown on reckless driving across the NCR to improve road safety and reduce accidents. Under the stricter enforcement drive, FIRs are being registered only for serious traffic violations, with the first FIR filed on January 3. More than one lakh challans have already been issued as part of the zero-tolerance approach, alongside increased traffic awareness initiatives aimed at deterring dangerous driving behaviour.

ENCROACHMENT: UNDERSTANDING ITS LEGAL MEANING AND TREATMENT
The Journal of Law and Public Policy (JLPP) publishes original scholarship on the interface between law and public policy at the national, regional, and international levels.
Under the provisions of the bilateral Agreement on Consular Access 2008, India and Pakistan on Thursday exchanged, through diplomatic channels, simultaneously in New Delhi and Islamabad, the lists of civil prisoners and fishermen in each other's custody, a statement by the Ministry of External Affairs said.
"India has shared lists with details of 391 civil prisoners and 33 fishermen in its custody, who are Pakistani or believed-to-be-Pakistani. Similarly, Pakistan has shared lists with details of 58 civil prisoners and 199 fishermen in its custody, who are Indian or believed-to-be-Indian," the statement read.
"The Government of India has called for early release and repatriation of civil prisoners, fishermen along with their boats, and missing Indian defence personnel from Pakistan's custody. Pakistan has also been urged to expedite the release and repatriation of 167 Indian fishermen and civil prisoners, who have completed their sentence," as per the statement.
In addition, Pakistan has been asked to provide immediate consular access to 35 civil prisoners and fishermen in Pakistan's custody, who are believed-to-be-Indian and have not been provided consular access so far.
