The reach and impact of influencers are so significant that even politicians such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi have recognised their value—the National Creators Award is proof.
Economists say there are weaknesses in India’s GDP data. But statisticians claim the accusations are based on flawed understanding, saying while GDP has problems, the economists are looking in the wrong places.
Coaching centres for Army aspirants in Jhunjhunu are shutting down due to plummeting admissions in the face of a lack of job guarantees under Agnipath Scheme.
Left unraised is the wisdom of even conducting a “ravan dhahan”.
Festival celebrations involving large numbers of people in the public square often end in tragedy. How is that “victory of good over evil” working out?
Superstion and Religion are non-negotiable it seems. We are willing to put the blame on railways, politicians. Organisers, etc. But superstition and Religion?
seems that Raiway authorities were not advised about the programme. Had they been advised Loco pilot of the train would have advised in advance by issuing caution order, there by it becomes manadatory for the pilot to reduce the speed and look for any possible obstruction on the track
I really don’t understand. I have sat in one of these Punjab DMUs, and travelled a stretch of, I think, two hours or so. For most part it almost crawls, and has stoppages every 5-6 minutes. For hardly any patch of the run does it really “gallop”. Then, we know that every railway engine has a headlight which is pretty strong. If revellers didn’t hear the DMU approaching in the loud burst of crackers etc, then didn’t the driver see people on the tracks? As I said, this transport practically never travels at “high” speed, then why couldn’t he apply the breaks? Did the breaks fail? Because these DMUs have to stop every few minutes, how come the driver didn’t know the brakes weren’t working?
I personally won’t be surprised if it turns out to be a sabotage, and therefore a terrorist act. We have had cases of heavy trucks ramming through crowds. I think it happened in Paris or somewhere.

For once Rahul Gandhi can’t play politics with this particular tragedy. His own party men are involved.
