'Tough to face China now". CLEAR EYED ASSESSMENT BY DG ITBP ON THE GAP BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA IN CONVENTIONAL MILITARY CAPABILITY. But DG ITBP holds out hope. Says developing Drone capability is an opportunity. Cites Ukraine. DG ITBP Shatrujeet: "To face China through traditional ways would be tough now. Because, China has invested heavily in the modernization of its forces and has moved ahead. But through drones, small nations can fight bigger nations, as we have seen in the Russia-Ukraine and Iran-USA conflicts. Every Day Russia is sacrificing 10000-15000 soldiers every month."

She theatrically waved her hands to deflect. Her colleagues conspired to shut India down... "BUT WHO CREATED THE PROBLEM?" With that one line opening NDA minister Piyush Goyal gives a master class to censorious, patronizing Europeans on climate double standards and their sneaky way of blaming "those developing countries" for the climate mess they themselves created. IT'S GREAT TO SEE INDIA IS NO JUST A PARTICIPANT AT THE GLOBAL HIGH TABLE BUT IS CONFIDENTLY HOLDING ITS OWN.

Now, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav demands that electoral rolls be linked to Aadhaar and biometric verification be made MANDATORY at every polling booth. Why?

THE LAST TIME INDIA WILL SEE THEM? FIRST AND LAST PICTURE OF "TEAM" MATTHEW VANDYKE? The Matthew VanDyke (American mercenary with Sons Of Liberty International) module (which included Ukrainian mercenaries) travelled illegally into India's North East. Whence in Mizoram the module crossed the border into Myanmar. The NIA says they proceeded to Camp Victoria a base for Shin insurgents that have ties to India based insurgent groups. The NIA claimed VanDyke and team trained the insurgents and provided them military grade drones. They crossed back into India and were apprehended before they decamped. Now, months later they get a court pass to exit India without consequence. WHO GETS AWAY THIS EASILY? WHO IS THEIR POWERFUL BACKER? HAS INDIA CAPITULATED? Questions. Few answers.

THE CASE OF DR DOOLLA: FROM AWARD WINNING PROFESSOR AND EXAM INVIGILATOR TO SC/ST FIR. Dr Doolla completed his MTech and PhD from two IITs. He has won multiple honours and awards. On Friday, Sahil Wakode (20), a second-year Dalit student in the Energy Science section, was caught using a mobile phone during an examination conducted between 2 pm and 4 pm. Dr Doolla was the invigilator. A few hours later, Wakode died by suicide. Soon after, protests broke out on campus with students blaming the "SYSTEM" that puts too much exam pressure on students. In response IIT Bombay put out an official statement saying no formal disciplinary action had been initiated against Wakode. The institute claims the student was counselled by faculty and assured that the incident would not derail his academic career. NOW, THE SAME PROFESSOR WHO INVIGILATED THAT EXAM HAS BEEN NAMED IN AN FIR INVOKING PROVISIONS OF THE SC/ST ACT. The act was invoked because Wakode's parents accused Dr Doolla of "casteism".

"I AND ITALY NEVER BEG" MELONI SLAYS TRUMP AFTER HE SAY: "Meloni? She begged me for a photo, I felt sorry for her" Giorgia Meloni's rasping response: "Donald Trump's statements are completely made up, I'm frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; after all, it's not the first time it's happened. I can only say it's a shame that he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaderships toward which he instead proves much more accommodating; however, one thing he must remember: I and Italy never beg."
