In his latest 'Hum Dekhenge' column for The Quint, Harsh Mander examines the campaign against madrasas and what it means for education and the constitutional rights of India’s #Muslims.

The prayer meeting that evening was hardly the kind of gathering that would suggest an attempt at religious mobilisation. It was being held inside a #Christian family's home to remember a deceased person. Across #Bengal, Hindutva groups are increasingly sharing videos of confronting and harassing Christian evangelists.

Caption: I spent the entire night on the road outside Jantar Mantar, on the T-point where Sansad Marg meets Tolstoy Marg, standing between CJP protesters and the police. Word spread through the night that this was where the confrontation would happen. Tear gas. Lathi charge. Crackdown. Reporters rushed in and stayed put, waiting. So did the police. So did the protesters. The signs were all there - riot gear, tear gas van, water cannons. Every few minutes, someone's eyes would drift to the officer sitting atop the tear gas vehicle. Is he getting ready? Here's what happened next! Eshwar reports.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s appearance at a New York City event titled ‘Universal Oneness’ may look like a routine diaspora outreach programme. But look closer at who is behind it, and the picture gets more complicated. The event is being hosted by American Hindus for Engagement and Dialogue (AHEAD), a relatively new organisation that describes itself as an advocate for interfaith dialogue and an inclusive future, with no mention of ties to the RSS. But AHEAD’s registration records tell a different story. Its incorporating agent, Khanderao Khand, is associated with the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), widely described as the RSS’s overseas wing. Khand has also hosted BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September 2024. The event comes amid repeated RSS claims that it does not operate overseas – and follows an investigation into its lobbying efforts in the US. Read The Quint’s full investigation:

An unidentified man allegedly threw ink at AISA National President Neha Bora during the ongoing Assembly march in Ranchi on Friday, briefly disrupting the protest before he was overpowered by police personnel and taken into custody. The march, called by the All India Students' Association (AISA), is being held in support of the ongoing agitation by JPSC and JSSC aspirants, who have been protesting over alleged irregularities in Jharkhand government recruitment examinations. Hundreds of students have joined the procession, which is moving towards the Jharkhand Assembly amid slogans demanding transparent recruitment, accountability, and action over alleged examination lapses. The ink-throwing incident occurred as Bora was leading the march with student protesters. Police officers stationed along the route immediately intervened and detained the unidentified man. His identity and motive were not immediately known. The protest comes after days of demonstrations, sit-ins and hunger strikes by aspirants, who have been demanding reforms to the state's recruitment process and action over alleged irregularities in JPSC and JSSC examinations. More details are awaited.

A fresh video shared by the All India Students' Association (AISA) shows the moment its National President, Neha Bora, was allegedly attacked with ink during Friday's Assembly march in Ranchi in support of protesting JPSC and JSSC aspirants. In the footage, the man identified as 26-year-old Amarnath Pandey can be heard chanting "Jai Shri Ram" before the incident. Following the ink attack, he was caught by protesters, assaulted by some supporters at the scene, and later taken into police custody. Bora later said she would "wear this ink with pride" and alleged that the attack was a case of political targeting. She further alleged that the BJP and the RSS were "disgruntled" over AISA's participation in the student movement at Delhi's Jantar Mantar alongside the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), which she said culminated in the resignation of former Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Bora claimed that this was the reason she had been targeted.

Nine years ago, S Anitha became the first victim of NEET in Tamil Nadu, and one of the most prominent faces of Tamil Nadu’s fight against NEET. In 2017, the 17-year-old from Ariyalur had scored 1,176 out of 1,200 marks in her Class 12 Tamil Nadu State Board exams. Her medical cut-off score was 196.75 out of 200 — marks that would have placed her among medical aspirants under Tamil Nadu’s earlier admission system. But that year, NEET became mandatory for medical admissions. Anitha, who had prepared through the state-board syllabus, could not secure a medical seat through the national entrance exam. She became one of the earliest voices opposing NEET in Tamil Nadu, arguing that a common entrance test would disadvantage students from rural areas, government schools and marginalised communities. Anitha’s brother S. Manirathnam, who has now joined the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) protest in Delhi, says her fight was deeply personal. He says Anitha was raised by their father, a daily wage labourer, after their mother died when she was seven. He recalls that Anitha wanted to become a doctor because their mother’s death due to an illness had shaped her dream of entering medicine. “She wanted to become a doctor because she had seen the suffering caused by the lack of medical care,” Manirathnam said, recalling his sister’s journey. Anitha joined the legal battle against NEET and became one of the petitioners before the Supreme Court, seeking relief for Tamil Nadu students. The Court did not grant the exemption sought by the state, and days later, on 1 September 2017, Anitha died by suicide at her home in Ariyalur. Speaking about the impact of NEET on his family, Manirathnam said, “NEET has destroyed my family.” Years later, he has joined the CJP protest, saying Tamil Nadu’s opposition to NEET began with students like Anitha, who questioned whether a single national entrance exam could account for the inequalities faced by students across the country. Eshwar reports.

"When the Pulwama incident (of 2019) happened, I told PM Modi it was our fault. He asked me to keep quiet about it. I thought they would initiate a probe. A while later, NSA Ajit Doval called me and asked me to keep quiet too. He was with me in law school. There has been no probe since. They started taking political benefits from it right from the next day saying, 'When you vote, remember the sacrifices of Pulwama soldiers'," said Satya Pal Malik, former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, as spoke about the 2019 Pulwama terror attack. Today marks seven years since 40 CRPF personnel were martyred in the terror attack that shook the nation on 14 February 2019. Here's a lookback at Malik's conversation with Eshwar in February 2024 in which he levelled allegations against his own party's government. When asked why he did not step down as the Governor following the attack, he said: "The truth is, I had spoken up two hours after the incident. The PM was on a shoot at Jim Corbett National Park. He met me in the evening and asked about what happened. I thought there would be a probe. All this was while I was the Governor. They had asked for 5 aircraft which they had denied. I would ferry stuck students in aircraft. If they hadn't taken the road, the incident would not have happened." "People say whatever they want to. If one is to look at it responsibly, I was the head of a state. I was not there to precipitate a crisis. I could only try to explain things. I did that. I spoke to the PM about that. But I cannot be expected to resign every day over everything. I highlighted it, and I spoke up," he said.

“As doctors, we know that prevention is better than cure.” For several days, doctors and FMGE aspirants have been protesting at Maharaja Ranjit Singh Park in Gautam Nagar, Delhi, over alleged irregularities in the FMGE exam held in June 2026. The protesters allege that the examination pattern was changed without prior intimation and that video-based questions were introduced unexpectedly. Following protests at the Jantar Mantar protest site, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) acknowledged irregularities and assured aspirants that such issues would not be repeated in future examinations. However, aspirants have begun fresh protests as the key demand for compensation for the aspirants who appeared in the FMGE remains unmet. #Doctors #FMGE #Protest

"This isn't Delhi. This isn't a metro city. Look at the state of our protest site. There is water everywhere, and students have stood firm all night in the rain," said Devashish, as he turned his camera towards the open grounds of the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium, the site of the students' protest in Ranchi. The eldest of three siblings from a farming family, Devashish said that for him, a government job meant the upliftment of his siblings and ageing parents. Devashish's story resonates with scores of students who have taken to the streets across Jharkhand in the past several days against paper leaks and repeated irregularities in examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC) and Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC). In this interview with Eshwar , Devashish narrates the years of struggle faced by Jharkhand's youth, which have now converged into anger on the streets. Watch the full interview here:
