The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani.
Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response.
Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind.
Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.

#REPORTERS - 🇮🇳 #India recorded 5,737 dowry-linked deaths in 2024, an average of around 16 women a day.
Despite being outlawed more than six decades ago, the practice of dowry – the transfer or money or valuables from a bride's family when she gets married – remains deeply entrenched across Indian society.

🇮🇳 In India, thousands of women have been taking to the streets calling for better protection of female students, following the suspected gang rape of a 17-year-old girl.
The alleged incident in an upscale neighbourhood of New Delhi prompted authorities to beef up protective measures, but the women say limiting their access to public spaces is not the answer.

Meer Faisal has received a legal notice from Siwan Cyber Police under the IT Act over his reporting on the alleged mob lynching of 25-year-old Shahzad Ali in Bihar's Shivrajpur village on May 30. Police have termed his report "misleading" and "factless."
According to Shahzad's family, he was dragged from his home, tied to a tree, and beaten to death. An FIR names eight accused, including Avadh Kishore Chaudhary alias Sanjeev Siwani. So far, only one arrest has been made, while several accused remain absconding.
Responding to the notice,
Meer wrote on X: Siwan Police has sent a legal notice claiming my report on Shahzad Ali's killing is "misleading." Yet the main accused, Avadh Kishore Chaudhary alias Sanjeev Siwani, has still not been arrested. A young man is dead. His family is demanding justice. One arrest has been made, while key accused remain absconding. Journalism is not a crime. Reporting on a case of public interest is not misinformation.
The priority should be ensuring a fair investigation and bringing all accused to justice, not intimidating those raising questions.
I respectfully disagree. The judiciary seemed to be having problem with talking about your ordeals on social media. Not everyone has the resources or influence to file an FIR, which in itself is a lengthy and exhausting process.
For many it is the last resort.

#Revisited - 🇮🇳 #Bengaluru is India's #SiliconValley — home to dozens of multinational tech companies and 31 of #India's 32 data centres.
The city is now at the forefront of the country's AI boom. But rapid growth comes at a cost: mounting pressure on water resources, overstretched infrastructure, and questions about the future of the workforce in an increasingly automated economy.

Focus - Dharavi, India's largest slum, braces for major redevelopment plan
➡️ go.france24.com/axLw
Khansa retweeted
#FOCUS - Dharavi, home to nearly a million people and one of #Asia's most densely populated slums, is set for redevelopment after decades of failed attempts.
Half of residents will be rehoused on-site; the rest relocated to the city's outskirts.
But Dharavi is also #Mumbai's largest open-air factory, sustaining a billion-dollar informal economy of tanners, potters, and recyclers. As workshops face demolition, residents welcome the promise of better housing while fearing for their livelihoods.
