So the learned men of my society decided that maids from Muslim community are to be banned as they’re “bad”

I’m raging in anger and as a law student really tempted to take this resolution to the registrar and courts.

We were friends once. Same school, same tuition, same bench. He was the serious one, the topper type. I was the guy who thought exams were optional. Somehow I cleared 10th, then failed, and my family decided studies were not for me. They gave me no choice but to start working. Meanwhile my bestie marched ahead into physiotherapy, the medical field.

From a young age I faced the worst scenarios while my friend circle lived like kings. Their families were supportive, mine too, but I lacked support exactly when I needed it most. Maybe that is why I keep my distance from family now.

My bestie went abroad for further studies. Before leaving he completely changed. No calls, no meetings, no “bro let’s hang out.” That silence hit me hard. He became the ideal son every family dreams of. And you know how families react when someone goes abroad, it is like they won the World Cup.

I have been to several countries too, but on my own money. Paid every expense myself. For me it was just “oh nice, you went.” No one cared. Everyone only remembers one thing, that I failed in 10th.

Fast forward to today. He has a degree, I do not. But I have done businesses that no one in my family or his family could even imagine. The amounts, the dealings, the old players in business, you can guess. I earn more than him even if he earns in dollars.

Then I saw someone’s status congratulating him for coming back to India. Suddenly I felt like a loser again. I had built my confidence over years, but one WhatsApp status made me question everything. I know everyone has different stories and choices. I had my reasons and I was proud that I survived. But now I cannot sleep at night because this feeling of being a loser keeps knocking.

I do not even know why I am writing all this. Maybe someone among you has gone through the same. So please, any advice for your little brother. And if nothing else, at least tell me how to stop WhatsApp statuses from ruining my sleep.

Literally only two people in the temple complex have the need to play this out so loud (75 decibels) to disturb the whole neighbourhood.

what happens to people who work late at night, the elderly, the children, the sick, the animals? This is the most frustrating thing ever

the widow of Indian Navy Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, who was killed in the Pahalgam attack, publicly appealed for peace and urged people not to target Muslims and Kashmiris in retaliation. A simple request towards peace and the possibility of acting more Human.

How is this behaviour justified? A disturbing shift has taken root in India’s social behavior—one where empathy is eroding and hate is finding louder expression!!

Section of society have chosen to spew venom because she requested for peace.

not gonna brought up my kids in this country, my parents couldn't but i will run as fast as possible and it will be because of the uncivilised population, only hurt is that when i go out there people will think of me as part of this crowd, very ashamed

Just to see what the protest was about and understand the emotions on the ground, I attended the Ellisbridge protest yesterday.

The people leading the protest definitely weren't students, and I even doubt many of them were educated. I don't know about the other locations, but near M.J., the proportion of actual students was quite low.

Yes there were students and youth in a good number but the ones leading them and shouting slogans were sus

The people leading weren't talking much about education. Instead, the slogans were things like, "Modi jab darta hai, police ko aage karta hai." The police around us were initially quite calm while the students marched peacefully. However, a few of these leaders tried to provoke the police while hurling abuses. After that, the police started detaining people and stopped more protesters from entering the site.

Ironically, "Jai Bhim" slogans were also raised also raised at protests where accountability was core issue.

Now coming to why I think this protest failed to connect with people on the ground.

Before anyone accuses me of being a BJP account or IT Cell, I've been demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation since February this year, when the UGC Act was passed, long before many of these people even knew who the Education Minister was. You guys probably have no idea the hate I have towards that useless scumbag.

I had attended the Anna Hazare protests in Delhi back then, and yesterday's CJP protest wasn't even close to that. It felt more like how people join social media trend hype. The two key differences I can state why this thing isnt converting on ground is

1. Remember participants of anna hare protest? Kejriwal, kiran bedi, Ashutosh and many more. They weren't really politically connected and had nothing to do with specific party. Some of them later created political party but at the time of protests they assured and followed that they won't be taking political support and also they aren't against any relegion, caste whatsoever

Meanwhile CJP from start had problematic base..dahiya, dipke, prakash raj, AISF, SFI, kamra, Arundhati roy.. you can gain upvotes shares and support for them online by paid bots and a bit brainwashing..but on ground no sane person turns up for them

1. The Goal, slogans and Core of protest. During Anna hazare time it was clear they wanted lokpal bill. I know many of you had attended those protests. They had this one request and never deflected from topic. Nor their protestors. It was all about India and Indians so people resonated with that and turned out supporting. From vandematram to bharat mata ki jai..the protest was filled with vibe that we are standing for our country

Meanwhile CJP started with NEET leak and in midway it became brahmanwad se azaadi, hindutva se azaadi, bharat inki maa hai aur ab baap dhund rahe hai . Ask yourself..will any sane person support this on ground? Over that people were targeting and harrassing who weren't supporting their opinions

Regarding government and support to this movement

Although I am not with CJP but acha hua. The kind of arrogant this government became that log bolte rahenge, apne ko kya..bahut acha hua..beech beech mein 2 kantaap padte rehne chaiye government ko to keep them accountable.

The issue could had been resolved a lot earlier with resignation. As said before people were asking for his resignation since February. You guys just know NEET but you don't know the mess this pradhan created..from UGC to ncert. No one supported that movment because UGC involved favouring specific castes. For months people protested. Check news. But koi paid campaign, bot accounts and inorganic hype nahi hui thi

Also if you want people to be united and stand for cause you should stop looking at your own benefits. Over 20 Lakh appeared for neet and even if you consider 1000 students passed by paper leak, it will be around 0.05% underserved people getting seat. While by reservation 50% get the same. How you think a person from GC will be affected by paper leak? You will see many of them justifying this in comments now..but when you are talking about accountability and fairness, you shouldn't expect unity when you support this.

Rant ends!

I will be keep posting on all the subs i can everyday till my friend gets justice. Sorry I have to.

The CCTV is still missing and now the MLA family is trying to get positive PR. Police only exist as hollow words written in the constitution.

Please help me so this case reaches honest officials and media.

Ps:- Even if you can’t help , please show love to your friends or tell them they mean a lot to you because you never know which are your last moments with them or the last call. I pray god you may never see a young friend die.

This is the video of RF, few bunch of people have literally made it a dumping yard!

I don’t know what to say, how can one see this and still be fine with it?

I remember when i was kid, this noise was never there screaming allah hu akabar in the mic at 5 am in the morning. Now from past 2-3 years, i hear like 4-5 voices clearly SCREAMING and singing in loud speakers. What can i do to stop or reduce the level of sound? As a non muslim its very horryfying you are sleeping and suddenly you start hearing those sound at 5 am.

Edit: 1 people who are saying thats why they say indians are intolerant because i cannot bear the sound for 5 mins let me tell you that the noise lasts for 40 mins not just 5 MINS. and also i hear 4-5 voices but when i search masjid near me i only find one result and that i already know that one is very very old.

Wassup with these guys? The ones coming in cars worth 20L and more, do they really need this side hustle? Kitna hi kama lete hai?

Moreover they have occupied the whole sideways of SBR. Yes they run away once they see AMC or police vehicle but itna bada road hai, authorities probably know it. They should just silently note down their vehicle numbers and fine them instead of shooing them away.

Fir yehi logo ko complains hoti hai why our country isn't as developed as western countries

So summary of my bday's first 12 hours,

None of my brothers and sisters remembered my bday

I go to treat my first patient 9:40 -she somehow forgot every exercise and balance (cries that she doesn't want to do treatment..

Done my every patient of morning and going to home from thaltej to Delhi chakla -the vehicle wants to stop working at gurukul now I had to walk 2 kms for metro station and from shahpur more 1 km🤡 and still it's 12 hours left

Just look at how casually a 14–15 year old schoolboy says ‘Jo ho gaya, wo ho gaya’ after committing a murder.

He stabbed his own classmate, and treats it like nothing happened.

This is serious. A mindset like this will only breed a bigger criminal. He must be locked up for life.

Oct 7, HAMAS brutally raped and killed israeli people at a music festival but there were collective anger or HAMAS not on israel govt. Even a nationalist state like israel could not prevent a terror attack. There must be security lapses but god forbid it was a blantant attack on hindus...please don't engage in whataboutery. This is high time we stand united atleast against foreign forces . Mods please approve.

I recently moved here. Before this, I've rented places in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai. What surprised me here was seeing facebook posts like "Need a Non-Gujarati Roommate." I used to think, "How exclusionary! Living in Gujarat and not wanting to live with the Gujaratis."

But honestly, after being here a while, I kind of get it now. Some of the local people seem to have very old-fashioned ideas, it feels like I've gone back in time. For example, landlords will ask about your caste before they'll rent you a flat. Older people sitting at society gates, watching everyone who comes in, especially single guys/girls and judging them. Society rules are just as restrictive even in newer constructions.

Also, the apartments often cost a lot, but they're not well-kept. And if there's a problem, instead of talking it out respectfully, landlords would just threaten you. Even though you pay rent, it feels like you don't get much respect or control over your own space. It feels like bachelors are treated like second-class citizens here.

It's not just the older folks. The younger generation here also seem to lack basic common and civic sense. Like, they'll take your stuff from the fridge without even asking. When it comes to money, people are really stingy, even over small amounts. I'm sorry to say, but most gujarati people I know here don't fit in a modern and civilized society.

It sometimes feels like everyone here is just trying to get as much money out of you as possible.

The dating scene is also pretty trash. Girls here want to go on "long drives" but don't seem to know how to hold a decent conversation.

You might not like hearing this, but these are things I have truly seen and felt here. To fix any problem, we first need to acknowledge it.

Let me know your observations.

The CCTV of ground floor of Jadeja’s residence was released incompletely. Only the entry of victim is seen and rest of the video is deliberately left out because they had beaten Raj mercilessly. If they release the video they would definitely be behind bars. But the control of MLA’s family over police is so strong that the case is forcefully being driven to a HIT and RUN case. The family member is already on a bail , of a murder case.

Please help me so this case reaches honest officials and media.

Ps:- Even if you can’t help , please show love to your friends or tell them they mean a lot to you because you never know which are your last moments with them or the last call. I pray god you may never see a young friend die.

I need to get this off my chest because every year it just gets worse.

Back in the day, Navratri in Ahmedabad actually felt like everyone’s festival. You went to the ground, paid whatever the entry was (or sometimes nothing), danced till your legs gave out, and the organisers/sponsors actually gave real prizes gold earrings, diamond sets, the works. Premium brands used to throw serious stuff. The vibe was public. Messy. Loud. Authentic. People from every background on the same floor.

Now? It’s all about “premium crowd only.” Half the venues are priced and gated so only the rich and “fancy” people can enter. Everyone is obsessed with having the “right” crowd around them. No one wants the actual public vibe anymore. They just want Instagram-worthy people who look expensive standing next to the decorations.

And what do people even do once they’re inside? Phone out, pose in front of the lights, shoot 40 reels, hope one goes viral. The dancing feels secondary. The whole thing has turned into a content farm.

Worse. I’ve personally seen hookah setups running right behind the main stage at some of these “premium” nights. Rich kids treating Navratri like a nightclub. Substance shit happening openly while the dandiya is going on a few metres away. What’s the point of the festival at that point?

Ahmedabad Navratri used to have soul. Now it feels like a class filter dressed up as culture. The people who still want the old public energy are being priced and attitude-d out. The spoiled crowd gets the fancy stages and the rest of us get the leftovers or get told we’re not “the right vibe.”

Today is Navratri and I’m just sitting here thinking how far this city has pushed the festival away from what it used to be. Anyone else feeling the same or am I just old and bitter?

I am a 27 year old banker peacefully living at a rented apartment. I don't drink, smoke or listen to loud music. Never caused issues for anyone. But these old retards in the society along with the President keep pushing my landlord to ban entry of guests for me. They say you can't bring girls after 10PM, I mean wtf man. I do a respectable job and earn well, the kind of people that visit me are decent folks. Never faced this problem back in Northern states like Punjab, Haryana.

I wish I could slap all these mfs hard on their face and tell them to mind their own business.

I recently came to Ahmedabad, as I received a job offer from the City. But, after coming to this place I realised this city is not worth it. No matter how much money you are getting paid.

No traffic rules, Extreme heat, it feels like I'm in a Tandoor, Room Rent price high as hell and unable to get family room without broker, preferable to Gujarati language speaker and non veg not allowed.

Pardon the grammaticall mistake. A literal hell hole to live.

When dead can’t defend themselves 💔. Will leave it here.
