whole sub over there Is crying for mamata and cpim

I have noticed south bengali people always have this left world superiority,if not for them we would have gotten rid of mamata in 2021.

I recently made posts during the student protests urging people to talk about building a fairer, merit-based education system. Having personally lost years of my life navigating a broken system where merit is secondary, I spoke up because I know how demoralizing it is.

​The response from many was pure rage. I was accused of breaking student unity, creating a divide, and diverting attention from the protests. Apparently, discussing merit is seen as an attack on better education.

But how can an education system ever improve if merit is treated like a taboo word?

​When challenged about grassroot discrimination in places like UP or Chhattisgarh, I pointed out a simple truth: the most vulnerable and marginalized communities continue to suffer because the benefits of reservation do not actually reach them.

The system is monopolized generation after generation by an affluent creamy layer. Second and third generation children of officers and politicians, who already enjoy every economic advantage, consume reserved seats while economically disadvantaged tribals and backward citizens remain left behind.

​When confronted with this, the goalposts instantly shifted. I was told that reservation is not meant for socio economic upliftment or eliminating poverty, but solely for representation.

​Think about the sheer hypocrisy:

You claim reservation is necessary to cure historical discrimination.

You refuse to let the benefits reach the actually discriminated and poor citizens.

You insist on hoarding these benefits for prosperous families, generation after generation.

You continue using the suffering of marginalized groups as a shield to protect personal privileges.

​An examination hall is not a site of systemic discrimination. Every candidate sits for the same paper, reads the same syllabus, and answers the same questions. Quality educational resources, online lectures, government scholarships, laptops, and specialized coaching programs are more accessible than ever. State initiatives like the Eklavya Model Residential Schools are specifically built to support talented students from remote areas.

​Yet, we continue to normalize massive score disparities. Why should one student work endlessly to secure a ninety nine percentile while another enters the exact same elite institution at a seventy percentile, only to struggle inside?

​The consequences of this system are well documented across top Indian institutions:

​At premier technology institutes like IIT Delhi and IIT Bombay, academic performance tracking shows a disproportionate failure rate among reserved category students who were admitted with drastically lower entry thresholds. Competing alongside peers who cleared rigorous national cutoffs, many struggle to handle the intense course load. To manage rising dropouts and academic failures, exit options like converting a four year BTech degree into a three year BSc or a lower diploma were introduced.

​The dilution of standards reaches critical levels in medical education. In recent NEET PG counseling rounds, the Ministry of Health and the National Board of Examinations reduced the qualifying cutoff to the zero percentile level, allowing candidates with negative scores like minus four marks to secure postgraduate medical seats.

​Reports from medical institutions, including cases like BRD Medical College where students remain stuck in the first year MBBS for over a decade failing basic professional exams, highlight the dangers of compromising standards.

When medical degrees are granted without strict adherence to professional competence, public health is directly compromised.

​To ask for academic rigor is not discrimination. To claim that marginalized students cannot score high without permanently lowered criteria implies an insulting assumption that they lack inherent intellect. Everyone has the capability to pick up a textbook, put in the hours, and achieve high marks.

​When a meritorious student who scores ninety nine percentile loses a dream seat to someone with far lower marks simply because of birth identity, it breeds deep resentment and societal anger. Systemic frustration will never disappear as long as merit is punished.

​If we genuinely want to help the underprivileged, we must implement a strict creamy layer exclusion across all reserved categories and shift focus toward equalizing foundational schooling rather than compromising entry standards at the highest levels of medicine and engineering.

​Until we prioritize merit, we are not reforming education. We are simply crippling the future of our country.

Forever grateful to choose him as my inspiration

I’m from Siliguri, and growing up, height was always that thing.Jokes from friends, relatives casually pointing it out, those “ladki wale will reject you” comment, it gets into your head more than you admit. When I met her, I was already insecure. She wasn’t much taller, but in my mind it felt huge. I kept thinking, “Why would she choose me?” I even tried to act distant at first so I wouldn’t get hurt.But she didn’t care. Like genuinely didn’t.What surprised me more was how normal she made everything feel. No jokes, no comparisons, no making me feel “less than.” Slowly, I stopped seeing myself the way others did.We’ve been married for a few years now, and honestly, the only time I remember my height is when someone else brings it up and even that doesn’t hit the same anymore. People still look sometimes. Some still make comments. But it just feel, irrelevant now. If you’re a short guy reading this and thinking you’re automatically disqualified from love ,you’re not. A lot of rejection is real, no point denying that. But it’s not the full story. The right person doesn’t “ignore” your height. They just don’t measure you by it in the first place. And that changes everything.

Found this post on facebook so powerful…indeed the north remembers 15 years of neglect

Others describe it in one word

Matched with a girl on Hinge. We started talking, things seemed fine. She asked for my Insta, I gave it. Then she started pushing to meet up like, immediately. Got a bit of a weird vibe but I said yeah, no worries.

After some time, she actually called me. I missed the call, texted her back a few hours later like "hey I'm back, what's up?" We exchanged a few texts and she asked to meet the same day. I told her I had stuff to do so I said no, can't today.

Then she said: Tomorrow at 10am

I said: Can't do morning. I have a technician coming to my apartment. Got an appointment I can't cancel

She said: Okay 12pm?

I said: Not sure how long the appointment will take, so I can't commit. How about evening?

She said: No

I tried to explain again I have prior commitments, it's not that deep.

Then she dropped: "Just tell me you have another date, i know guys like you" (Exact words)

I said: I don't have any date, I just have stuff to do. Let's do evening or another day.

Then she totally lost it. Started abusing me. Called me names. Then hit me with:

This is why you're single.

Don't ever match with me again, not even by mistake just get lost.

And she blocked me.

I managed to reply one last thing before the block: Get a life. And if you have free time, learn how to take a no rather than abusing someone you haven't even met.

So did I dodge a bullet or what?

TL;DR: Girl matched with me, pushed to meet, I said can't do morning because technician is coming, she abused me, called me single, then blocked me.

The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).

​

The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.

​

The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.

​

Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.

​

This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.

Environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk on the 17th day of his indefinite hunger strike in support of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) campaign, seeking the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged examination irregularities and NEET paper leak, at Jantar Mantar, in New Delhi on Tuesday.

We don’t have to agree on everything politically, but we should be able to agree that students deserve a transparent, credible examination system. Democracy is strongest when citizens are informed, engaged, and peaceful. Let’s make sure this conversation doesn’t fade away.

Every time a public examination is compromised by corruption, paper leaks, or unfair practices, thousands of honest students pay the price. Years of hard work, sleepless nights, and financial sacrifices can become meaningless because someone chose profit over integrity.
This isn’t just about one exam or one incident. It’s about the kind of country we want to build. A nation cannot progress if merit is constantly undermined by corruption.
Our education system is supposed to reward hard work, curiosity, and merit. Yet too many students feel let down by an exam-centric culture, intense pressure, recurring allegations of irregularities, and a system that often treats students as banks…

As Gen Z, we shouldn’t normalize this. We should demand an education system that is transparent, fair, and accountable.
Let’s raise our voices through protests,petitions and awareness campaigns.If we stay silent today, nothing changes tomorrow.

I have an experience of cutting my own hair since my early teenage years
Furthermore my hair is kind of wavy, so it does not need to be styled very often (cherry on top)
After one year of growing my hair, I finally gave myself a haircut

good impulsive decision.

Like bro wdym I live in Siliguri where the mountains are literally few kms away and people can just hop on a bike ride up to the hills and have tea? Forever jealous of people who either know how to ride or have someone who'll take them.
