4. Indexed to inflation, the real income in the hands of fresh engineering graduates fell by 60% in TCS and 49% in Infosys. Factoring in the inflation, it should have been 7.89 lacs in TCS and 6.40 lacs in Infosys.

Thanks to Ashraf for hosting us on the All Indians Matter. It was really a great conversation about the past, present and future of India's journalism and information scenario. Do have a listen when you can.

1/3 Hicky’s Bengal Gazette (1780) was India’s first printed newspaper but a widespread and sophisticated news system existed for centuries before that. The origin of Indian media has its roots farther back in time than most believe.

Economic condition of India’s working classes continues to deteriorate. From 2022 to 2024 India’s GDP grew at the robust annual rate of 6.7%. Profits of NIFTY 500 firms grew even faster. But wages during the same period fell by 0.07%. We must not look away from this.

For heaven's sake, turn the question around and imagine Allah hu Akbar being yelled in a temple. What would the judgment then be?

Too-clever-by-half? How I wish some people could trade some of their intellect for more of spine.
Former CJI DY Chandrachud says his observation that "the Places of Worship Act does not bar ascertainment of religious character" was part of a discussion in a Court hearing and cannot be regarded as a final verdict. "Any discussion in the court has to be understood in the context of a dialogue in the court. Questions are posed to lawyers to elicit the truth. Sometimes judges play a devil's advocate to tell the lawyer a contradictory position. These are instruments to elicit to truth. To say that an observation or a dialogue in the court is reflective of the position the Court would ultimately take would be doing a disservice to the nature of dialogue in the court, " Justice Chandrachud tells Navika Kumar in Times Now's 'India Economic Conclave'. "Unless the last word of the Court is printed in the judgment, whatever said by the Court is just an observation for that moment. It has no precedential value. It cannot be used in any future proceedings," Justice Chandrachud says.

One of our finest, bravest journalists and fact checkers continues to be hounded. An FIR filed against @zoo_bear for a tweet against Yati Narsinghanad. India is a rare country where calling out hate speech is a bigger crime than hate speech.

Down to 31 squadrons, of which 2 are essentially not flying to just make up the numbers. Lower than what they were in 1965. After 10 years of Modi as PM.

In Germany, Nazis started their pogroms against Jews by having them paint the Star of David on their businesses and homes and wearing armbands with the Star of David in yellow. Not surprised that their Sanghi Chela are going down that path.
