🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* The renewed political battle over the Disha Salian case shows why a criminal investigation and a political contest must remain separate. Uddhav Thackeray has warned of legal action over what he describes as “character assassination”, while Amit Thackeray has publicly said he does not believe Aaditya Thackeray could be involved. A CBI investigation is now underway, following years of competing allegations and an earlier Mumbai Police conclu

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* The Election Commission’s interim decision preventing both rival Trinamool Congress groups from using the party’s established name and “Flowers and Grass” symbol in the West Bengal bypolls demonstrates the disruptive consequences of an unresolved organisational split. The Commission has not finally determined which faction is the legitimate party; its interim arrangement places both groups on a temporary equal footing while the dispute is

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* आपल्या शिक्षणव्यवस्थेत अमूल्य बदल घडवणे अत्यंत गरजेचे झाले आहे, कारण सध्याच्या अभ्यासक्रमात प्रत्यक्ष उपयुक्ततेचा अभाव स्पष्ट दिसतो. उत्पादकता (Productivity) हा विषय प्रत्येक व्यवसाय आणि क्षेत्रासाठी अतिशय व्यापक व महत्त्वाचा असूनही, तो केवळ इंडस्ट्रिअल इंजिनिअरिंगपुरता सीमित ठेवला गेला आहे. याउलट, आयआयटीसारख्या नामांकित संस्थांमध्ये 'ह्युमॅनिटीज'सारख्या विषयांचे वेगळे विभाग चालवले जात आहेत. वास्तविक अशा विषयांचा समावेश CSR उपक्रमांमध्ये करता येऊ शकत

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* अमेरिकन टेक दिग्गज 'मेटा' (फेसबुक, व्हॉट्सॲप, इन्स्टाग्राम) आणि भारत सरकार यांच्यातील अलिकडच्या घडामोडींनी डिजिटल नियमावलीचा नवा पायंडा पाडला आहे. जंतर-मंतरवरील पेड कॅम्पेन असो वा तांत्रिक गोंधळामुळे पंतप्रधानांच्या व्हिडिओवर झालेली कारवाई असो, या पार्श्वभूमीवर केंद्र सरकारने दाखवलेली कठोर भूमिका डिजिटल प्लॅटफॉर्म्सना योग्य तो धडा देणारी ठरली आहे. जागतिक स्तरावर बड्या टेक कंपन्यांची एकाधिकारशाही आणि मस्तवालपणा नेहमीच चर्चेत राहिला आहे. मात्र, भारतात

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* In 2014, BJP leaders like Laxmikant Vajpayee and Yogi Adityanath defied restrictions to hold meetings, symbolizing grassroots connection. Yet, after the 2017 victory, Vajpayee was sidelined while Dinesh Sharma was elevated as deputy CM, projected as close to Modi. The logic is clear: strong Brahmin leaders with direct public ties are often displaced, while compliant figures are rewarded. Today, Narottam Mishra faces similar treatment. BJP’

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Minakshi Natarajan’s Rajya Sabha bid collapsed in dramatic fashion. Assigned as Congress’s Telangana in-charge, she faced hostility from local leaders and even senior Congress figures like Digvijaya Singh. A past criminal case in Telangana was omitted from her affidavit, leading to her nomination being rejected. Reports suggest Telangana Congress leaders tipped off Digvijaya, who relayed it to BJP’s Mohan Yadav. Despite Congress flying 63

🖋️ From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane Railways Tighten Rules on Unreserved Tickets India’s digital revolution has transformed daily life, from mobile payments to booking train tickets through apps. Yet, the Indian Railways has now introduced a strict change: passengers traveling with unreserved tickets must carry a physical print copy. Showing the ticket on a mobile phone will no longer be accepted, and violators risk fines. This decision stems from rising fraud cases where adva

🖋️ From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane Discipline Above All in the Armed Forces. The Supreme Court’s recent ruling upholding the dismissal of Christian army officer Samuel Kamalesan is a landmark affirmation of military discipline. Kamalesan had refused to participate in his regiment’s weekly religious parade, arguing against the practice. His challenge to the Delhi High Court’s earlier decision was rejected by a bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, reinforcing that the armed f

🖋️ अभिजीत राणे लिहितात 'व्होट जिहाद' आणि राजकीय दुटप्पीपणा. निवडणुकांच्या काळात 'ईव्हीएमची भीती' किंवा 'मतचोरीची ओरड' ही नेहमीचीच असली तरी, भाजप नेते आशिष शेलार यांनी उपस्थित केलेले 'व्होट जिहाद'चे आकडे गंभीर आहेत. ३१ मतदारसंघांत २ लाखांहून अधिक मुस्लिम आणि ख्रिश्चन दुबार मतदार आढळल्याचा आरोप, ही केवळ मतदारांच्या यादीतील चूक नसून 'धर्माच्या आडून लोकशाहीवर हल्ला' करण्याचा प्रयत्न असल्याचे सूचित करते. या आरोपांमुळे, महाविकास आघाडीच्या नेत्यांच्या मतदारसंघांवर थेट प्रश्नचिन्ह उ
