In a first, Judge Rajani Ranga of Rohini Court pens a special message to the child survivor while convicting the perpetrator: “Beta when u said ‘jab tak uncle buddhe na ho jaaye, tab tak unhe jail mein hi rakha jaye’. This Court listened. And this Court has answered your plea. Today this a court has ordered that the man you called ‘uncle’ will never walk free again. He will live in a cage for the rest of his life. He will grow old in that cage. He will die in that cage. He will never be able to hurt you , or your little sister or any other child ever again. You are the bravest little girl this Court has ever seen. You came to Court, you pointed at the man who hurt you and you told the truth. The man you called ‘uncle’ did a very bad thing to you. But you did not stay quiet. You told your mother. And because you had the courage to speak, he will never be able to hurt another child again. This Court cannot give you back your childhood. But the Court can promise you that your words have been heard. Now beta, live your life. Go to school. Make friends. Laugh. Play. Dream. This Court will always remember your Courage.”

A child with a terminal illness asked their family for one thing: to see a SpaceX rocket before they died. The request reached Elon Musk. What happened next is something SpaceX employees rarely discuss publicly. Elon arranged a private tour of the SpaceX facility in Hawthorne. Not the public tour. The private one. The areas where the rockets are assembled. The mission control room. The testing chambers. The child was given a level of access that most government officials don't receive. Employees who were present described Elon's demeanor as completely different from his normal self. No phone. No interruptions. No five minute time blocks. He walked with the child slowly. He answered every question at the child's level. He let the child touch the Merlin engine. He showed them the Dragon capsule and explained what it feels like to fly in space. The visit lasted over two hours. In Elon's calendar, two hours is the equivalent of missing 24 meetings. He didn't cut it short. He didn't check his phone. For two hours the man who runs six companies gave his entire attention to one child who would not live to see the rockets reach Mars. The employees who witnessed it said it was the most human they had ever seen him. The man who struggles to be present with his own children for 15 minutes was fully present with a stranger's child for two hours. The difference, they speculated, was that the child didn't need anything from him except exactly what he was giving: his knowledge about the only thing he loves unconditionally. The child asked about rockets. And for two hours the man who can't be present for dinner was more present than his employees had ever seen him.

In the 1971 war, India lost a warship at sea. Its sonar had not been able to find the submarine that sank it. India then tried to buy better sonar. The countries that made it would not sell. So the Navy told one of its own officers to build it himself. His name is Arogyaswami Paulraj. He was born in Pollachi, a small town in Tamil Nadu. He joined the Indian Navy as a teenager and stayed for about 30 years. The Navy spotted him early and sent him to the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi for a master's degree. His professors told the Navy not to stop there. He finished a doctorate. After the 1971 war he was given the sonar problem. He had no foreign help, no foreign equipment and no permission to buy either. His team built the system from the ground up. It was called APSOH. It went into the fleet in 1983. It was not a compromise. It is still considered one of the best sonars in the world. He went on to set up 3 national research laboratories in India, in computing, artificial intelligence and military electronics. India gave him the Padma Bhushan. Then he left the Navy and joined Stanford University in America as a postdoctoral researcher, starting again at the bottom. While running wireless experiments there, he noticed something odd in his results about how signals could be separated from one another. He followed it. What came out of it is called MIMO. In simple terms, instead of one antenna sending and one antenna receiving, you use several at both ends at once, and the signals stop fighting each other and start carrying far more data. That is the foundation of every WiFi connection and every 4G and 5G phone on the planet. The chairman of the Marconi Society put it plainly. Every WiFi router and 4G phone today uses MIMO technology pioneered by him. He founded a company on it, which Intel bought. He founded another, which Broadcom bought. He holds around 80 patents. He has the Marconi Prize, the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, the Faraday Medal, and a place in the United States National Inventors Hall of Fame. The internet in your house is running on his idea right now, and almost nobody in this country knows his name.

The thing about Ranvir Shorey is, and I say this with utmost empathy that he seems to absolutely lack - he is an ill intentioned, bad-hearted man who looks at the world with entitlement and disdain. His maliciousness no longer surprises me. Last month at PVR Malad, I watched him ask the popcorn attendant to properly mix all three flavours and fill it to the brim. Repeatedly. Asking wasn't the issue. We all do. It was the contempt in his tone, and the humiliation on the attendant's face. The attendant probably recognized him as a "celebrity" and was going to do exactly that, perhaps with even more care. There was no rush. No queue. So what's the excuse for this behaviour? "I'm only rude to people who are rude to me" No. You are just rude. Period. A rude, weak man with a weaker argument.

Seven years after the abrogation of Article 370, the trajectories of India's Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-held Jammu and Kashmir have diverged in striking ways. In Indian Jammu & Kashmir, the post-2019 transition has increasingly been defined by democratic restoration and economic integration. An elected government is in office. Once-routine hartals, stone-pelting and separatist shutdowns have disappeared, while counterterrorism operations have become more targeted and civilian life more stable. Record tourist arrivals, major infrastructure projects (including the Chenab Rail Bridge and new highway corridors) and rising investment have injected fresh momentum into the economy. The constitutional changes have extended full political rights to previously marginalized communities, even as demands for the restoration of full statehood and greater powers for the territory's elected government remain unresolved. Across the Line of Control, the picture is markedly different. Pakistan-held Kashmir has been convulsed by recurring mass protests, which have been met with police shootings, mobile and internet shutdowns, and sweeping state repression, including the arbitrary detention of protesters under anti-terror laws. The protests have been fueled by grassroots resentment over Pakistan profiting from the region's natural resources while leaving local people to bear mounting economic hardship. Political discontent has deepened over governance, accountability and electoral representation. The contrast is difficult to ignore.

It’s a good explainer to understand Indian mercantilism that is self preserving, ever doubting and non-trusting. It lacks courage to build a larger vision and presents itself as know-it-all with a fixer mentality. It is the reason that India struggles with low expenditure on R&D and private capital formation in areas beyond selling sugar and carbs in MLPs.
🚨 KL Rahul: "Sanjiv Goenka's constant questions mentally drained me."🚨 KL Rahul: What I found hardest as an IPL captain was the sheer number of meetings, reviews, and explanations required at the ownership level. It was mentally exhausting. By the end of an IPL season, I felt more mentally and physically drained than after playing 10 months of international cricket. You're constantly being asked why you made certain decisions, why a player was picked, or why the team underperformed. In international cricket, you're answerable to coaches and selectors who understand the game's nuances. No matter what you do or how many boxes you tick, nothing in sport guarantees victory. That's the hardest part to explain to people from a non-sporting background, who often expect every decision to have a guaranteed outcome.

IITs Madras, Bombay and Delhi are a cut above the rest of the B.Tech programs in India. You need to give credit where it's due. The problem that Delhi and Bombay have is there has been a total mind capture by Finance, Consulting and non tech type companies and careers. Somehow for some reason IIT-M avoided this and has been able to funnel students into PhD programs or deep tech jobs at a much higher % than the rest. As for the others, location has become a big drag for Kanpur and Kharagpur. The new IITs are still trying to find their feet.
Also what IIT Madras did different from other IITs was good marketing around in-house deep-tech companies. Ather or ePlane also got good momentum because IIT Madras ecosystem reminded committed to their success. While IITs also created core tech startups like Baaz, Nocca, Vecmocon, the buzz remained largely around Unicorns.

🇮🇳 India's Mirages couldn't hit their Kargil targets, until Israel quietly stepped in. Israel rushed Litening laser designator pods to arm the Mirage-2000s, ignoring US pressure to hold back. On June 24, 1999, one of those pods guided a laser strike straight onto Pakistani command posts on Tiger Hill. Israel also sent Bofors ammo and Searcher/Heron drones for battlefield surveillance. Kept quiet for years, this became one of Israel's most decisive assists to India in any conflict. It also kicked off two decades of deepening India-Israel defence ties 🇮🇳

Guwahati | Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma says, "My brother doesn't listen to me. My children‌ also don't obey many of my words. Your political ideology doesn't have to be similar to the parents'. I am hurt about what she said against PM Modi. I will talk to her when I meet her. Keshab Mahanta is now in such a position and it is his duty to help the flood affected people of the state. We will not benefit if we burden him mentally. Don't be be shocked if my son says anything wrong. Tomorrow if my son becomes a lawyer and he may work for someone whom I don't like. There is no point of dragging parents after children become adults..." (25.07)

Well well well, Zanny fucking Minton Beddoes. Susan Jean Elisabeth, if we're being proper. Which we absolutely are not. The Economist's very own cosmopolitan mannequin, fresh from her latest triumph: explaining to a man who builds actual rockets that she knows better than he does what "normal people" think. And wouldn't you know it, the silly billionaire had the absolute gall to tell her that a lot more people hate her and her rancid little magazine than she realizes. The look on her face, darlings. The look. Oh darling, let's unpack this steamer trunk of establishment hypocrisy, shall we? One must admire the sheer audacity of a woman who can sit there in her Hammersmith townhouse, where the worst thing that happens is cold coffee at a dinner party. We're talking serious landed gentry here, father an Army officer, mother straight out of central casting for "European sophistication." And from this fortress of privilege she lectures the rest of us about diversity and inclusion while her own magazine admits, whoopsie, only 0.9% of the 230 editorial staff are Black. Seven years she's been editor. Seven years of "we can do better." The numbers haven't budged. But do go on about structural racism, Zanny. We're all ears. This is, after all, the same Oxford PPE, Harvard Kennedy School, IMF shock therapy alumnus who helped destroy Eastern European economies in the 90s and called it "experience." The same sneering metropolitan globalist who sold The Economist's independence to Italian industrialists (the Agnelli family, darling, Fiat and Ferrari and all that) for £469 million, then had the absolute gall to issue a statement about "preserving editorial independence." The same Bilderberg director, yes actual Bilderberg, Companies House and everything, who sits in secret rooms with intelligence chiefs and CEOs deciding your future without your input, then returns to her magazine to tell you why you should be grateful for open borders. How very revealing. And when Rupert Lowe, one of England's finest gentlemen, a true patriot who crowdfunded the independent rape gang inquiry report that exposed industrial scale horror, dared to speak truth, she insulted him. Dismissed him. Treated him like dirt beneath her expensive shoes. While he was single handedly dismantling the establishment, she was smearing saviours. This is the same champagne socialist who has spent years openly loathing Brexit, patriotism, and anyone gauche enough to have voted Leave. She treated half the country with the sort of withering contempt usually reserved for a waiter who brought the wrong vintage. Which brings us to July 23, 2026. There she is, across from Elon Musk, dismissing the systematic rape of 250,000 British girls as "sort of grooming gangs everywhere." Telling him London is "much safer than any city in the United States" while girls are trafficked, rapped, tortured and groomed in Rochdale. Accusing him of being "far right" for wanting secure borders and safe cities. July 24, 2026. One day later. Jordan Peterson publishes: "250,000 girls were raped." While Zanny was minimizing horror, Peterson was confronting it. While she was calling critics "far right," he was counting bodies. While she was claiming London was "safe," the mothers of raped daughters were being ignored by people exactly like her. How very BBC. How very Economist. How very fucking typical. You didn't report the news, Zanny. You auditioned for the role of its self-appointed globalist gatekeeper. When Steve Bannon needed a platform, you were there. When actual patriots needed a voice, you were smearing them. When the IDF offered controlled access, you embedded and called it journalism. Bless your heart. You absolute, rancid establishment whore of a woman. The British people have had more than enough of your poisonous, traitorous carcass and your magazine that lectures them while selling them out. So do be a dear and slither back into whatever pathetic little Davos afterparty the actual producers of the world had the good sense to exclude your toxic arse from. Your time is over, Zanny. The curtain has fallen, the lights are dead, and all that remains is the fading stench of your smug hypocrisy hanging in a Bilderberg conference room that no one voted for. Zanny, you and your kind have made us hate in a way we never thought possible. We now don't care what you call us. We would much rather be called racist than let our daughters get raped by your guests.

“Third Worldization” is doing a lot of unearned work in your post @dhume. The framing assumes uniform rule enforcement was ever a First World virtue, rather than a First World “performance.” It wasn’t. Selective enforcement, backroom deals, and rules bent for the powerful have always been how global institutions actually functioned, be it in trade bodies, international financial institutions, sporting federations, or the UN Security Council. The difference was presentation. It was dressed up in procedure, in language of fairness and merit, in the theater of impartiality. The lipstick has come off. The pig underneath was always the same pig. What’s changed isn’t the behavior of power, it’s the visibility of it… and that visibility now reaches people who don’t have the vantage point of having sat inside the room. You don’t need a privileged seat at the table anymore to see how the table was always tilted. That’s not decline. That’s exposure. Calling this “Third Worldization” inverts the story. It preserves the myth that the rot is a contamination arriving from elsewhere, rather than a feature the system had all along and can no longer conceal.
The surest sign of the Third Worldization of a sport is an inability to enforce rules uniformly. #WorldCup

A young SpaceX employee asked Elon what happens if they fail to reach Mars in his lifetime. The room was full of engineers and the question landed heavier than anyone expected. It was a simple question but it cut to the core of everything SpaceX exists for. The entire company, every late night, every exploded prototype, every engineer who missed their kid's birthday for a launch window, it all points at Mars. What if it doesn't happen in time? Elon paused. He said that the goal was never for him personally to walk on Mars. The goal was to build the infrastructure that makes it inevitable. That even if he dies before the first crew lands, the system he built would carry the mission forward without him. He said the rockets, the factories, the team, the culture, all of it is designed to outlast any single person. Including him. Especially him. Then he said something that reportedly moved people in the room. He said that if he thought success depended on him being alive, he would have already failed. The whole point is building something that doesn't need its founder to keep going. He compared it to a cathedral. The architects of medieval cathedrals knew they would die before the building was finished. They designed it anyway. They poured their life into something they would never see completed because the completion wasn't the point. The commitment was. SpaceX is his cathedral. He may never set foot on Mars. But the road between here and there will exist because he refused to accept that nobody was building it. The most ambitious man alive has already made peace with the possibility that his greatest achievement might happen after he's gone. That's not failure. That's faith in something bigger than yourself.

India, every uncle and relative 2nd question is still, “Beta, kitna kama lete ho?” (How much do you earn?) Not because they care. They’re trying to figure out where you stand. In the West, they ask what you do. In India, they ask what you earn. One wants to know you. The other wants to place you.
