In May I was invited to the Oxford Union to debate whether youth activism is "performative." But let’s be honest about what’s actually performative: sitting in wood-paneled rooms, debating , and sneering at a generation of young people who are trying to make change/ The reality? Gen Z isn’t driven to activism by TikTok or influencers. They are driven by the material reality of a capitalist system that has only ever offered them austerity, pandemics, climate chaos, and war. Revolutions don’t drop from the sky. They are the accumulation of a thousand different types of activism from climate strikes and BLM to the university encampments for Palestine. It is a molecular process. Young people are at the forefront because they have the most to lose, and they refuse to be burdened by the cynicism of the past. While the establishment sneers, a revolutionary wave is building. The question isn't whether youth activism is "performative" the question is how we organise that gut instinct to change the world into a real, material force that can actually overthrow the system at the root of the crisis. As Lenin once said: give us one generation of youth, and we will transform the world. We are not outnumbered. We are just out organised. Time to build.

VIDEO | Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan (Dharmendra Pradhan) on CBSE using OSM for examination paper evaluation, said, "Today, certain issues have come to light regarding the CBSE Class 12 examination evaluation process, and a re-evaluation process will now begin. Around 17 lakh students appeared for the examination, and the answer sheets of each student have been securely preserved. In total, there are 98 lakh answer-sheet copies, with each copy consisting of around 40 pages, which means nearly 40 crore scanned pages were evaluated for the first time by CBSE through the OSM process. OSM is a progressive instrument. Many universities and institutions in India, as well as several institutions across the world, are moving towards this system. It is student-centric and designed for the benefit of students. Through this process, students can transparently access information about their marks, and through scanned copies, they can directly view their answer sheets. It helps address students’ doubts and concerns regarding whether they received fewer or more marks, or whether any answer or section was overlooked during evaluation. This is the first time CBSE has implemented this system in the country. Certain discrepancies have come to our notice, and I take responsibility for them. These issues will be rectified, and appropriate solutions will be worked out. All of us are engaged in this task. We will not leave a single student’s unanswered query or concern unresolved."

CBSE Class 12 result 2026 has raised serious questions. In 2025, 16.92 lakh students appeared. In 2026, 17.68 lakh students appeared — 76,000+ more students. But despite more students appearing: • Pass percentage fell from 88.39% to 85.20% • 90%+ scorers fell from 1,11,544 to 94,028 • 95%+ scorers fell from 24,867 to 17,113 This happened in the first large-scale year of On-Screen Marking, where Class 12 answer sheets were scanned and checked digitally. CBSE had around 98.67 lakh answer sheets and around 70,000 evaluators. Simple average: around 141 answer sheets per evaluator. If checked in 8–9 days, that means around 16–18 papers per day. Teachers had already raised complaints about blurred scans, slow downloads, server issues and checking pressure. So the question is simple: If a new digital checking system was used, and the result pattern changed so sharply, why is CBSE not giving complete transparency? Students are not asking for free marks. They are asking for fair verification, affordable re-evaluation, answer-sheet access and accountability. CBSE must take responsibility!

#WATCH | Delhi: On meeting with CBSE officials, Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan says, "... CBSE has begun the revaluation process for the Class 12 examinations. Around 17 lakh students took part, with nearly 98 lakh answer copies — about 40 crore scanned pages in total. For the first time, CBSE has introduced a digital evaluation system, aiming for transparency and student‑centric reforms. Students can now access their scanned answer sheets to check marks and raise queries. So far, about 4 lakh students have retrieved their answer sheets, covering nearly 11 lakh copies. CBSE has involved top agencies, including IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras, to oversee the technology. Four PSU banks — SBI, Indian Bank, Bank of Baroda, and Canara Bank — have integrated payment gateways to support the process. The government acknowledges some discrepancies, accepts responsibility, and promises corrective measures. Officials will ensure that no student query left unresolved and accountability will be ensured at all levels..."

India is dealing with The rise of the graduated unemployed, where India has both high number of graduates per year and a rise in youth and urban unemployment How do we as a nation tackle this problem of the Graduated Unemployed and what is the solution ? Ronnie Screwvala spoke to me about how India’s formal education system needs to change with the times and make young people more job ready and employable. While the private education system is making that change, a lot more work needs to be done in the education space. Full chat is out now ✨

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade: “Are you thinking about taking Khartg Island where 90% of the Iranian oil goes through?” President Trump: “Yeah, but, Brian, I can’t answer a question like that. And you shouldn’t ask it. You shouldn’t even be asking it. It’s one of so many different things. It’s not high on the list, but it’s one of so many different things. And I can change my mind in seconds, but, you know, for you to ask the question — who would answer a question like that? You’re asking me a question. Kharg Island. Who would ask a question like that and what fool would answer it? Let’s say I was gonna do it or I wasn’t gonna do it, what would I tell you? ‘Oh, yes, Brian, I’m thinking about doing it. Let me let you know what time and when it will take place.’ It’s not — you know, it’s sort of a foolish question. A little surprising for you because you’re a smart man.”

We will charge a fee of Rs 100 from any student who wishes to view their answer sheets; a separate fee of Rs 100 applies if they wish to have their papers validated; and a fee of Rs 25 applies for the re-checking of the answer to any specific question.

The provision for re-evaluation has always existed within the CBSE framework... We will ensure that the marks awarded, including the totalling of scores, are absolutely accurate...

Queer theorist Judith Butler attempts a response to Matt Walsh's "What Is a Woman?" and it's just "You're angry and you hate Socrates" "I can't help noting that the people who pound the table like, 'It's a simple fact, we should have a simple answer.' They're angry. They're insistent. They're frustrated. I mean, just look at what the emotional aura is of that claim. 'We need a simple truth.' And like, whoa, why are we so angry about that?" "I ask the same question. What is a woman? Freud asked the question: what does a woman want? But you could also say, what is a woman? My own sensibilities say it's a great question, but it's wondrous. It's wonderful. Let's keep that question open, because you know what? There are going to be a lot of different ways of answering and will give us access to human complexity. And then we'll know more about the world and we'll be able to affirm the human in its complexity rather than putting it into fixed boxes and smashing in those nails. So for me, 'What is a woman' is a great question, but I would just keep it open." "This is a movement that seeks to control knowledge, to suppress knowledge, to stop us from questioning -- even to attack Socrates, who taught us the absolute importance of open inquiry." "The anti-gender ideology movement is an attack on knowledge and an attack on open inquiry."

Carl Sagan explains why a child’s simple question may be deeper than most adults realize. “Mommy, why is the grass green?” And very often the child gets an answer like: “Oh, who knows?” But that is not a silly question. It is an extremely profound question. Because hidden inside it are the fundamentals of biology, light, chemistry, and physics. How much better it would be to say: “That’s a good question.” “Maybe we can look it up.” “Maybe when you grow up, you can find the answer.” The tragedy is that many children learn the wrong lesson. They learn that asking deep questions is somehow bad. And when that happens, we lose something precious. We lose intellectual resources. We lose curiosity. We lose future thinkers. Because the complex and subtle problems we face can only be solved by people capable of complex and subtle thoughts. A child’s question is not an interruption. Sometimes, it is the beginning of science.

If you’ll let me answer what I saw in Pennsylvania—” SCHIFF: “No, I asked a simple question about massive fraud. I can only tell you what I saw. I know you want to answer a different question, but my question is, can you tell us whether there was massive fraud affecting the results of the 2020 election? Yes or no? Was there or was there?” BONDI: “Let me tell you what I saw when I went—” SCHIFF: “That’s not my question. So you can’t answer that question. You can’t speak that even easy truth to us, let alone to the president. So let me ask you a different question.”

This is my appeal to religious leaders, policymakers, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and all people of good will. Microplastics and nanoplastics are no longer just an environmental issue. They are being found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, and inside the human body. This is a question of health. A question of children’s future. A question of responsibility before God, before humanity, and before the world entrusted to us. From now on, I will be speaking more about this issue, because this is Spiritual Diplomacy in action: bringing together faith, science, public leadership, and human conscience to address threats that no one can solve alone. We need research. We need innovation. We need political will. And we need spiritual leaders who are not silent when creation itself is under threat. For the air we breathe. For the water we drink. For the children we love. For the life God has entrusted to us. #SpiritualDiplomat Spiritual Diplomats #Microplastics #Nanoplastics

Jeff Bezos on his favorite interview question “When I interview people, I ask them to give me an example of something they've invented. And I always point out, it doesn't have to be something that you actually took to the patent office. It could be a metric that you invented and followed carefully. It could be a business process that you invented. You want to select people who like to invent their way out of boxes.” A lot of people will immediately jump to what Jeff calls an “either or” solution (e.g. “We can do A or B.”). But as Jeff explains: “The right question is how can we do A and B? What invention do we need to be able to do both?”

I was asked in Iowa how the Democratic party can win again. The answer is simple. The American Dream has become unaffordable and inaccessible —and that should be unacceptable to us Democrats. The American Dream should be a shared reality, not a privilege for the few. We can't have a country where 10% of the kids do well and the other 90% get the shaft. Home ownership, health care, retirement security, and education are the foundations of the American Dream. Right now, all are inaccessible.

Elon Musk revealed why he keeps working despite of his $800 billion net worth: 1. As a teenager, Musk had a full existential crisis trying to figure out the meaning of life. Religious texts did not convince him. So he turned to philosophy. Reading Schopenhauer and Nietzsche as a depressed teenager, he says, was a terrible idea. 2. Then he read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and something shifted. Douglas Adams argued the real problem is not finding the answer to life. It is figuring out the right questions to ask in the first place. 3. In the book, Earth is a giant computer built to answer the meaning of life. It spends millions of years computing and delivers its answer. The answer is 42. The joke is that nobody knows what the question was. 4. That idea never left Musk. The universe is the answer. We just do not know what question it is answering. And to figure out the right question, you need a much bigger and more expansive consciousness than we currently have. 5. The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe. 6. This is why he wants more humans. More digital intelligence. More biological and artificial consciousness working together. Not for economic growth. Not for power. To collectively get better at asking the right questions. 7. This is why Mars matters to him. Not for the adventure. Not for the achievement. A single planet species is a single point of failure for consciousness itself. If something wipes out Earth, the question never gets asked. 8. "The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multi-stellar species, we have a chance of figuring out what the hell is going on." 9. Everything he is building, the rockets, the AI, the robots, comes back to this one idea. He is not trying to get rich. He is trying to keep the candle of consciousness alive long enough to understand why it exists. 10. With $800 billion he could stop tomorrow. He does not stop because to him stopping would mean giving up on the only question that ever actually mattered. What is this all for and what are we supposed to be asking?

Elon Musk revealed why he keeps working despite of his $800 billion net worth: 1. As a teenager, Musk had a full existential crisis trying to figure out the meaning of life. Religious texts did not convince him. So he turned to philosophy. Reading Schopenhauer and Nietzsche as a depressed teenager, he says, was a terrible idea. 2. Then he read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and something shifted. Douglas Adams argued the real problem is not finding the answer to life. It is figuring out the right questions to ask in the first place. 3. In the book, Earth is a giant computer built to answer the meaning of life. It spends millions of years computing and delivers its answer. The answer is 42. The joke is that nobody knows what the question was. 4. That idea never left Musk. The universe is the answer. We just do not know what question it is answering. And to figure out the right question, you need a much bigger and more expansive consciousness than we currently have. 5. The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe. 6. This is why he wants more humans. More digital intelligence. More biological and artificial consciousness working together. Not for economic growth. Not for power. To collectively get better at asking the right questions. 7. This is why Mars matters to him. Not for the adventure. Not for the achievement. A single planet species is a single point of failure for consciousness itself. If something wipes out Earth, the question never gets asked. 8.

🚨 WOW! Vice President JD Vance reveals he initially was not a Christian, but then started to realize — "If the Christians are right about the importance of virtue, and they're right about the importance of being a good father as opposed to how much money you make, and they're right about the importance of being a good husband as opposed to how prestigious your job is, then maybe they're right about these more fundamental questions!" "I start asking, how do I be a good husband? How do I be a good provider? How do I be good at the things that actually matter? And the more that I asked those questions, the more that I felt like Christianity had the best answers. And it's interesting that that really is how it started for me." "I didn't have a conversion on the road to Damascus. But I started to see these sort of rays of sunshine, these evidences of truth in Christian teaching."

Elon Musk reveals the single idea that explains why he keeps working despite being worth $800 billion "When I was a teenager, I had an existential crisis trying to figure out what's the meaning of life. It doesn't seem to be any meaning" "For me at least, the religious texts that I read did not seem convincing. Then I started reading the philosophers. You have to be careful of reading German philosophers as a teenager. It's definitely not going to help with your depression" "Reading Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, as a kid you're like, whoa" "Then I read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. What Douglas Adams was saying is that we don't really know what the right questions are to ask. The real problem is trying to formulate the question. To really have the right question, you need a much bigger computer than Earth" "The universe is the answer. What is the question? Or what are the questions?" "The more we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, the better we can understand what questions to ask about the answer that is the universe" "The more we can expand consciousness, become a multi-planet species, ultimately a multi-stellar species, we have a chance of figuring out what the hell's going on" "This is why I think we should have more humans and more digital, both biological and digital consciousness"

#WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand | A class 12th student, Sarthak Sidhant, says, “…I have written a blog that compares the tender documents of CBSE. I have uploaded and published it… There were at least 15 discrepancies, as per my blog. I would like to highlight three or four of them. Let me give a background about Coempt. It was known as Globarena, and they have a very shady background. 23 students killed themselves because of coempt… Now, I would like to tell you about RFP (Request for Proposal). What happens is the government issues a tender and asks the bidder to bid for it. CBSE issued this tender three times… I have compared the old RFP and the new RFP, and I found some discrepancies… The first discrepancy is that there were three clauses of poor performances which was completely wiped out from the new RFP. In the earlier RFP, there was a clause called blacklisted earlier, whereas in the new RFP, it was changed to blacklisted currently. Why would the board want a service provider which was blacklisted earlier? The third thing I found out is the 50 crore limit, which you needed to qualify, and coempt qualified that by 1.7% … The time frame of corrupt practices was halved, and there were project criteria changes… It shows a pattern that the industry giant TCS was not preferred, but coempt was preferred, which works as a very fragmented group of institutions…”
