Of ‘sabka saath’ & ‘beti bachao’: The myth and reality in India

'Beti bachao' is not a convincing phrase in the mouths of those who free convicted rapists for coldly-calculated political benefit.

'Sabka Saath' is a lie or a delusion. More likely a lie because exclusion is deliberately perpetrated and institutionalised in the BJP. It has no Muslim MP or MLA but says “sabka saath”. Who is it fooling? asks Aakar Patel.

Terrorism takes out another Russian nationalist with a big mouth.

Russia blames Ukraine for these attacks, but I suspect it's more likely to be native Russians who have had enough of Putin and his sycophants.

Note that the woman arrested is a known anti-war activist; did she do it? We'll probably never really know for sure.

[the Russian Foreign Ministry paid tribute to a "defender of the truth". "Russian journalists constantly feel the threat of reprisals from the Kyiv regime," said ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. "It is thanks to Russian war correspondents that the world sees the real images of the operations and discovers what is happening in Ukraine".]

That's doublespeak, no?

They know we're used to interpreting politician-speak, right? Does anyone not read "Thing A that you are asking about must be 'balanced' with things X, Y and Z" as "We don't give a shit about thing A, go away and stop asking, prole"? They might as well have just said "The so-called 'rights' of the little people are unimportant" and had done.

“Some officials briefed on the intelligence said that it was relatively weak and that the Energy Department’s conclusion was made with ‘low confidence,’ suggesting its level of certainty was not high. While the department shared the information with other agencies, none of them changed their conclusions, officials said.”
How can it be “highly likely” with “low confidence.” Oxymoron.
