Attempting to influence and intimidate the court by showing up in such a mob, I believe no Leader of the Opposition has ever stooped to such a level before. And then, jumping out and running to the other side, breaking through their own security cordon to try to enter from another gate—this shows that either they have lost their mental balance or they are being manipulated by dubious forces to such an extent that they are prepared for any stunt, just so disorder can be displayed on India's streets.
Just today in Kerala, where the Congress-Muslim League alliance government is in power, the Congress's Kerala unit has posted something utterly reprehensible on X.
In it, using words like "Dear Suryakant" for the Honorable Chief Justice of India, it says: Resign.
And it says that law and order is not your domain, so resign. We'll appoint a new one.
Crores of countrymen should understand that law and order isn't the court's domain anyway, so the Supreme Court has said something entirely in line with the Constitution.
The Congress unit in one state is saying the Chief Justice should resign, and we'll choose a new option. In other words, the wish that was in their hearts has now become crystal clear.
First, they demanded the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar ji,
then the resignation of Home Minister Amit Shah ji,
then the resignation of Prime Minister Modi ji,
and now they demand the resignation of Chief Justice Suryakant ji.
The meaning is now clear, and it's been made clear by the Kerala Congress, where their alliance government with the Muslim League is in power, and both Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi have represented it.
In other words, it's now absolutely clear that the Congress, having fully become a Muslim League Maoist Congress, with the mentality of brainwashed Naxals, is completely shameless and brazen, going to any extreme to foment anarchy in India by dismantling every constitutional institution. I believe crores of countrymen should pay attention to the fact that at this moment, the Congress Party and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi ji have become the biggest threat to India's constitutional institutions and the Indian Constitution. 4:04AM 13 October 2026

In this vein, I also wish to remind you that within our constitutional framework, the Supreme Court of India is not endowed with any administrative powers to deal with the issues highlighted in your letter. However, in the exercise of our jurisdiction under Article 32 of our Constitution, along with other plenary powers, including that of judicial review, we are duty-bound to consider on judicial side the gravamen of issues affecting the citizens of India.
Supreme Court of India reiterates its commitment to preserve and protect the Fundamental Rights of every citizen of India and they are entitled to seek enforcement of such rights at all hours through the procedure known in law. It would thus be more appropriate on your part to invoke the judicial powers of the Supreme Court of India, instead of submitting a memorandum on the administrative side. Incidentally, some matters highlighting similar issues are scheduled for hearing on Tuesday, 13.10.2026. If so advised, you may submit your petition on Monday, either physically at the Supreme Court of India, between 10:30 A.M. and 04:30 P.M., or alternatively, by utilising the e-filing option, which permits filing at any time and on any day. You have my assurance that any such petition shall be heard at the earliest possible opportunity, in accordance with the law." 9:50PM 12 October 2026

"We told the Supreme Court many times that the voters' names are being wrongly deleted and wrongly included, we argued for months. The evidence is before the public. And the appellate tribunals now say 93% of the voters were wrongly removed. So the Supreme Court must have known. But no relief was given.

The flight, which connected Dubai to Tel Aviv, was carrying 170 passengers and was flying at 34,000 feet over Jordan.
Then, the Omani first officer attacked. Captain Machchhar was stabbed multiple times. Blood covered him. The cockpit suddenly plunged into chaos.
But Captain Machchhar did not give up. He defended himself and intervened to maintain control of the aircraft. The plane then began a catastrophic descent, losing nearly 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds. The passengers were screaming. The plane was diving.
Alerted by the commotion, the cabin crew members entered the cockpit. Several people joined forces to bring the situation under control. The first officer was ultimately subdued. The plane was able to be stabilized.
Captain Machchhar, injured and covered in blood, remained at the controls. His mission was to save the plane and everyone on board. Nothing else mattered. The descent continued in a controlled manner. Emergency signals were transmitted to air traffic control. Israeli fighter jets were sent to intercept.
But in the cockpit, a captain was fighting to save 170 lives.
The crew assessed the various options. Tabuk, in Saudi Arabia, was the nearest suitable airport. The descent continued, level by level. Every decision was made with precision, despite the violence, the blood, and the injuries.
Tabuk Airport. Flight FZ1073 landed safely. The 170 passengers were unharmed. The two pilots were hospitalized. Captain Machchhar had sustained severe stab wounds, but he had accomplished his mission.
A captain who refused to let a violent first officer destroy the plane and endanger the lives of everyone on board.
He fought to the end… and saved the plane.7:11AM 2 October 2026

VanDyke, a veteran of covert wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, was arrested in March alongside six military-trained Ukrainian partners. According to Indian court filings, the group belonged to a larger international network that smuggled drones into India before routing them onward to Myanmar. The National Investigation Agency initially invoked the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, India’s premier anti-terrorism statute.
Then came the dramatic climbdown. After U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally raised VanDyke’s detention with New Delhi, the NIA dropped the UAPA charges. VanDyke and all six Ukrainians have now been released on bail and permitted to return home.
The episode recalls a familiar pattern. From the Bhopal gas disaster and the Purulia arms-drop affair to the Enrica Lexie Italian-marines case and Ottavio Quattrocchi’s escape in the Bofors scandal, India has repeatedly seen high-profile criminal proceedings against foreign nationals or entities diluted, abandoned or rendered inconsequential under diplomatic or strategic pressure.

Weak and structurally unsafe buildings are a consequence of market distortion in real estate sector. Also the shortage is not just in terms of accommodation for students, as is being focused now due to collapse of an illegal PG accommodation. It is in other spheres of building use too, including residential accommodation.

God forbid if earthquake of significant magnitude strikes, it will expose the system at a massive scale.

It did not even have the courage to tackle it. The entire banking system of India was pushed to the brink of collapse. In 2008 itself, there was a horrific terror attack in Mumbai. The government of the time came under pressure from outside but did not even have the courage to teach Pakistan a lesson...Over the past six years, we have faced major crises. First came the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the entire world to a standstill. Then the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out. After that, there was a period when trade and supply chains began to be weaponised. Then came the crisis in West Asia. Every time, people said, "Now India will not survive." And those who are my biggest admirers were happy, thinking, "Now Modi is trapped. Now Modi has fallen. Now they will crush him."

The record speaks for itself.
May 2026, UAE: a brief stop, massive yield. Strategic petroleum collaboration with ADNOC, including potential storage of up to 30 million barrels in India. A long-term LPG track for homes and industry. A Strategic Defence Partnership framework covering manufacturing, training, maritime security and cyber. A ship-repair cluster at Vadinar. Around $5 billion in announced investment into Indian infrastructure and finance.
That is energy security when West Asia is on fire and sea lanes can become pressure points overnight.
February 2026, Israel: sixteen agreements. An agricultural research and innovation centre on Indian soil. Deeper defence and technology cooperation. Cyber. R&D. Cultural and digital ties. An FTA pushed onto a faster track.
That meant technology and capability coming back to Indian farmers, Indian industry and Indian defence.
June 2026, France: the Innovation Roadmap 2030. A series of agreements across innovation, defence, space and technology. An economic-security dialogue. A mechanism aimed at doubling trade.
July 2026, Indonesia: fourteen agreements and new initiatives. BrahMos cooperation—a serious step forward for Indian defence exports. Critical minerals and rare earths. Maritime security. Space. Steel. Healthcare.
And, crucially, an attempt to reduce Chinese dominance over the materials that will decide the future of batteries, electronics and weapons.
Australia: civil nuclear arrangements opening the door to uranium supply, a Maritime Security Collaboration Roadmap, defence agreements and a growing trade relationship. New Zealand added another maritime track.
These are not souvenirs from foreign visits.
They are part of the road map for a more secure, more resilient and more self-reliant Viksit Bharat. Atmanirbhar Bharat.
Today, The New York Times published an article headlined: “Modi Is Hedging Against Trump, One Deal at a Time.”
Its central point is simple: Modi has used each foreign visit to push India’s interests in security, trade and energy.
The India-US trade talks launched in February 2025 under President Trump were expected to produce haste and concession. Duties piled up, at one point heading towards 50 percent, including a penalty linked to Russian oil.
The expectation in some capitals was simple: India would fold.
India did not FOLD.
It refused a rushed, one-sided bargain. It held its ground on reciprocal access, domestic industry and agriculture.
It bought time.
And then used that time.
While talks dragged on, Delhi built alternatives: Gulf energy security, Israeli defence technology and agricultural innovation, French industrial and technology partnerships, Indonesian minerals and missile exports, Australian uranium and maritime cooperation.
That is how a continental economy stops negotiating from weakness.
Even after the February 2026 interim move towards an 18 percent reciprocal rate, Indian negotiators continued to hold out for terms that did not sacrifice agriculture or leave India permanently worse off than its competitors.
Even news media, whose first instinct is to criticise PM Modi, started to understand the value of his initiatives. Reuters described an increasingly confident India drawing strength from new partnerships. The Wall Street Journal wrote that New Delhi’s deal-making with middle powers had strengthened its hand with Washington.
That is the point.
You do not gain respect at a difficult negotiating table by talking about old friendships.
You gain it by showing that you have choices.
Beyond the international coverage of Modi and Trump, reporting on tariffs, tensions and the unfinished trade bargain, something else is happening:
India is no longer waiting for others to solve its problems.
It is securing supply chains, energy, minerals, defence partnerships and markets first and then negotiating.
That is why India can deal with America without surrendering its interests and deal with China without being intimidated.
The world does not hand out influence.
You have to build it.
And 2026 is a brutal year in which to do so.
Energy routes are under threat. Great powers are openly transactional. China remains ambitious. America is demanding.
In that environment, speeches do not keep the lights on. Statements do not fill strategic reserves.
What does?
A Prime Minister who treats every foreign visit as work.
Modi’s personal standing with world leaders is not branding. It has strategic value for India.
It gives India access, trust and room to manoeuvre.
And the growing confidence in India abroad is not charity. It comes from agreements signed, supply chains opened, capabilities built, markets expanded and promises delivered.
This is interest-first statecraft. Relentless.
History will not remember who mocked whose boarding pass.
It will ask a harder question:
When the world became unstable, who came home with oil, minerals, missiles, technology, markets and greater bargaining power?
That work is underway.
It is unfinished.And it is exactly the work required to secure India’s interests and India’s rightful place in a world that respects countries which have options .6:23PM 29 August 2026

India on the other hand, resisted American dominance and refused to simply align itself with America's policies, even when faced with heavy tariffs and criticism during Operation Sindoor as opposed to Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Instead, India focused on developing and manufacturing its own defence systems and defence capabilities. (Make in India).
The result today is that countries such as Vietnam, UAE,Chile,Brazil Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Brazil, Chile, South Africa, Saudi Arabia & Egypt are increasingly looking to India for defence equipment and military platforms.
And even "atami taaqat" nations think a hundred times before provoking India.
You may ridicule mock and denigrate PM Modi for his political science degree, for his desi accent of English or for his hugs, but it is an established fact that he made India stronger economically militarily and Internationally. That is what a capable Prime Minister does.5:25PM 22 August 2026
Demand for meritocracy by young students and youtubers for Viksit Bharat. ANI on X: "#WATCH | Delhi: On the Jantar Mantar protest against caste-based reservation, YouTuber Ajeet Bharti says, "Our biggest demand is that the government should come up with a white paper stating that the reservations you've given to people for 80 years... I come from Bihar. Research https://t.co/Auucz8VAaH" / XI come from Bihar. Research how dire the situation of the Musahar community is. Their children aren't getting reservations. Why? Because those caste groups don't even have leaders... The second demand is quota within quota, on which the government has also said that we will not implement the creamy layer in it. Why will you not implement it? It is so absurd that the government is bowing down to those few Dalit leaders who only talk about their caste group... The third demand is minimum marks. You cannot sell the dream of a developed India by compromising on merit. If 50% of the deserving youth or boys and girls who are studying will not get admission in the IITs, IIMs, or higher education, your efficiency has reduced by 50% right there... Then the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) should be made a part of the Scheduled Castes (SC). The class whose definition says economically weaker, you are neither giving them a facility in buying the form, nor are you waiving their hostel fee, nor is their course fee being waived; what will you achieve by merely recognising it?... At least indicate that we are going to have a sit-down talk about this..." 6:15AM 22 August 2026

STAR Boy TARUN on X: "CJP Protest: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly First, the Ugly ▪️This is not the end, it is only the beginning of a new era of protests. Many more will follow in the future. ▪️All enemies of India have now understood the winning three-point template to pressure the Modi government: https://t.co/2I8a3ho9u8" / X the winning three-point template to pressure the Modi government:
1. Pick an emotional issue, target any powerful group (Dalits, minorities, farmers, youth, etc.), and use social media to provoke them.
2. Bring them onto the streets by arranging logistics and create a law-and-order situation.
3. Keep repeating steps 1 and 2. The moment there is a real possibility of the situation spinning out of control, the Modi government will be forced to accept their demands.
The Bad
It is extremely difficult to stop their social media propaganda because the algorithms are left-biased and they enjoy support from foreign countries.
Left media also has massive funding support from organisations like IPSMF.
They deploy organised fake news, AI-generated videos, provocative thumbnails, half-truths and heavily edited clips to provoke people, making it very hard to counter them.
The Good
We have now also understood this 3 point template and can plan better to counter their next moves.
Suggestions
Enact a strict law against fake news. If we can stop the propaganda at the first step itself, their entire toolkit will be punctured.
Love for genuine ones, Fear for bad ones. Dont spare those bastards who created law and order situation this time and those who abused PM Modi
Build a street army of 1 crore Hindus who can assemble any time at one call
