Har gali me Jantar Mantar ! Friday, 23 October, 2026 People’s March to Restore Democracy Let’s Rise to the Challenge

UN experts called for an independent investigation into Indian authorities' conduct in a recent crackdown on protests, where they said demonstrators had sustained injuries and some reported being subjected to ill-treatment reut.rs/4iaP2oq

How can any civilised country justify keeping two young men in tihar for more than a week now for doing this?

A regular reminder for all fan bois and girls of Shashi Tharoor on the nationalist side,why the man doesn't deseve it. Here he is trying to shame the Indian govt for not congratulating a rabid India hater for winning the Nobel Peace prize 🤦🏻‍♀️

👉 SRI MADHVA JAYANTHI🙏 ✨ Hari Sarvottama - Vayu Jeevottama ✨ On the highly auspicious and sacred occasion of Sri Madhvacharya Jayanthi, I am blessed and humbled to share my eBook, "SriMadAananda Theertharu (Madhvacharya)", with all spiritual seekers and devotees. As we celebrate the appearance of Jagadguru Sri Madhvacharya today, let us invoke his divine presence through this sacred prayer: ब्रह्मान्ता गुरवः साक्षादिष्टं दैवं श्रियःपतिः । आचार्याः श्रीमदाचार्याः सन्तु मे जन्मजन्मनि ॥ brahmāṃtā guravaḥ sākṣādiṣṭaṃ daivaṃ śriyaḥpatiḥ | ācāryāḥ śrīmadācāryāḥ saṃtu me janmajanmani || May my lineage of spiritual masters extend all the way up to Lord Brahma. May my supreme, worshipful Deity always be Bhagawan Narayana, the consort of Goddess Lakshmi (Shriyahpati). And may my ultimate preceptor and guide be Jagadguru Sri Madhvacharya, life after life, in all my future births. 🙏 This book is a humble tribute to the third incarnation of Mukhya Prana, who descended to Earth to dispel ignorance, revive the true meaning of the sacred scriptures, and establish the eternal foundation of Dvaita Tattvavaada. 📖 Read - Share & Download the eBook for Free on Internet Archive: 👉 archive.org/details/sri-mad-… May Sri Hari-Vayu-Gurugalu bless us all with Bhakti, Jnana, and Vairagya! 🙏 Summary: This eBook serves as a spiritual guide exploring the divine life, mission, and philosophical tenets of Jagadguru Sri Madhvacharya (Sri Ananda Teertha). Drawing inspiration from the profound compositions of Madhva saints—such as Sri Raghavendra Swamy's Pratahsankalpa Gadhya and the historic Sri Sumadhva Vijaya—the text articulates the preamble behind the descent of Vayu Deva in Kaliyuga. It outlines how true scriptural knowledge was restored at the behest of the deities and Lord Vishnu Himself, culminating in the establishment of the Srimad Vaishnava Siddhanta (Dvaita-Tattvavaada). Anchored by the spirit of the ultimate Guru Parampara prayer (Brahmāṃtā guravaḥ...), this book is an essential read for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Sadachara, scriptural truths, and the unmatched glory of Hari Sarvottama, Vayu Jeevottama, tailored especially for beginners. न माधवसमो देवो न च मध्वसमो गुरुः न तद्वाक्यसमम् शास्त्रम् स च तज्ञसमः पुमान् ॥ Sri MadhveshaArpanamastu (श्री मध्वेशार्पणमस्तु) 🙏 Naaham Karta Harih Karta (नाहं कर्ता हरिः कर्ता) गुरु मध्व रायरिगॆ नमो नमो गुरु मध्व संततिगॆ नमो नमो ಗುರು ಮಧ್ವ ರಾಯರಿಗೆ ನಮೋ ನಮೋ ಗುರು ಮಧ್ವ ಸಂತತಿಗೆ ನಮೋ ನಮೋ 🙏🙏🙏 #AanandaTheertharu #DvaitaTattvavaada #Madhvacharya #MadhvaJayanthi #MadhvaSampradaya #SanatanaDharma

#India Colleagues and I have repeatedly alerted the Indian authorities to undue restrictions on peaceful assembly, excessive use of force, arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, and the targeting of student activists. 👇🏽

In France mobs are desecrating Churches. Christians are quiet. In Saudi a couple was beheaded for kissing in Mosque. Rationalists are quiet. In Albania Supreme Court was burned. Constitutionalists are quiet. In Afghanistan Taliban said women's education is forever banned. Feminists are quiet. In Kashmir doctors said choose Burqa over degree. Secularists are quiet. When it comes to Islam everyone is quiet 🤔

With the increasingly autocratic Modi restricting the media and civil society, the battle for India's democracy has taken to the streets in the form of the "cockroach" movement. trib.al/kR6G8kf

Can the Police Judge Its Own Case? Why Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka's Imprisonment Defies Basic Legal Principle writes Ramsha Sartaj. “The two leaders were sent to judicial custody by a Special Executive Magistrate. An SEM is appointed by a state government. They are a government officer who carries out certain functions of preventive justice. Notably, they are not a judicial officer. “ m.thewire.in/article/law/spe… via @thewire_In

कनाट प्लेस के व्यापारियों के साथ खेल हो गया! कनाट प्लेस पर अपना व्यवसाय चलाने वाले एक व्यापारी मित्र टकरा गए। उन्होंने जो बताया वो चौंकाने वाली बात है! बहुत से व्यापारियों के पास पुलिस अधिकारियों समेत कईयों के फोन आए कि प्रोटस्ट के ख़िलाफ़ बयान दो। बताओ कि बिज़नेस मारा जा रहा है। व्यापारी मित्र रूपी सूत्र के मुताबिक़ जो नहीं कर रहे थे ऐसा उनको बार फ़ोन किया गया। मित्र-सूत्र का कहना है कि व्यापार प्रभावित हुआ है इसमें शक नहीं लेकिन वो इसलिए हुआ है क्योंकि सरकार ने जंतर मंतर बंद कर दिया और प्रदर्शनकारियों को रोकने के लिए बैरिकेडिंग कनाट प्लेस के इलाक़े में कर दी गई। और ये भी कि शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शनकारियों से व्यापारियों को डर नहीं था और न है बल्कि उन ‘हुड़दंगी तत्वों’ से डर था और आगे भी होगा जिनके हुड़दंग पर भी पुलिसवालों मूकदर्शक बने नज़र आए। मेरे इस पोस्ट के ख़िलाफ़ भी पुलिस/मोदी सरकार का इकोसिस्टम फ़ोन कर व्यापारियों से बाइट दिला दे तो आश्चर्य मत करिएगा!

yesterday I was on @TimesNow : was told 20 mnts interview 1 to 1 on #Frenchriots but the anchor @HeenaGambhir cut me short repeatedly to put forward her own point of view. Lasted 5 mnts. So much for fair journalism ! @timesofindia @toi

THREAD: Across Europe and beyond, a fresh wave of street mobilizations is being read by some observers as the latest chapter in a resurgent global contest between left and right. - In France, high-school blockades over teacher shortages, overcrowded classrooms and crumbling buildings have drawn in major unions and the far-left La France Insoumise, with marches swelling into broader cost-of-living actions. - In Spain, tenants’ unions and labor federations (CCOO and UGT) have driven nationwide protests against soaring rents and evictions, culminating in a snap election. - In Belgium, the socialist and Christian unions have led anti-austerity marches, joined by students protesting education costs in a movement explicitly influenced by events across the border. - In India, the Gen Z-led Cockroach Janta Party has partnered with left student organizations such as AISA and SFI have found street mobilisation opportunities manufacturing public concerns over electoral rolls and earlier exam irregularities. What unites these episodes is the organizational weight of left-leaning unions, student federations and parties that have supplied structure, framing and political grammar to ever present general grievances rooted in education quality, public-service strains and youth economic insecurity. Interestingly, a Fox News investigation has observed that a transnational network of communist and socialist groups, amplified by media outlets linked to Shanghai-based financier Neville Roy Singham, has helped project the French protests internationally. We investigated and discovered the same pattern in India.

एक सूत्र ने बताया कि करोड़ों के गोदी एंकरों के ज़रिए प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र का फ़र्ज़ी प्रभामंडल बनाने की जो कोशिश चल रही होती है, उसमें मेरे ट्वीट्स और यूट्यूब वीडियो पिन चुभोने का काम करते हैं। इसलिए BJP IT Cell ने एक पूरा दल मुझे ट्रोल करने के लिए रखा है। कुछ आउटसोर्स भी किया गया है जो सेंट्रल दिल्ली के ट्रोल सेंटर से काम करते हैं। लगे रहो कुकुरमुत्तों 😃

First time in 21 years of practicing law I have heard of sureties being asked ‘address and parentage’ of the accused or indeed any questions at all. How long does this govt think such tactics will work? Economy is tanking; they recommend making pakoras or driving taxis; people who protesting are locked up. Vinaasha kaale vipreet buddhi.

Message to Modi

Pple are on the streets from Milan to Athens, Brussels to Buenos Aires, Tunis to Tirana… and France, where lakhs marched against collapsing schools and rising costs… Same anger over rents, education, jobs and a future they never got to shape. Not only in India. But here, Jantar Mantar protests or demand accountability by Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation, the BJP’s instant theory is ready-“Foreign hand.” In India any protest against Modi Govt it’s a conspiracy.
