WHAT !
Tahari Biryani is Vegetable Biryani !!
Noooo !!!

As per legend, Tipu Sultan ordered this Biryani to be created, when he hired vegetarian Hindus as his bookkeepers !?

Typically, rice is cooked along with different kind of vegetables in a handi with potatoes and carrots being the most used vegetables in this dish.

EC EVM Votes Count Mismatch: ADR files petition in SC demanding order directing Election Commission to collate accurate data before the declaration of final result of any election https://www.thequint.com/news/india/supreme-court-to-hear-petition-on-mismatch-evm-votes-polled-and-counted

@wabbster @musafir @Sushubh @kushal @digitaldutta @jamewils @sanjayuvacha @stux @Gargron if you guys are serious about this we should look at having a tor service for the server too. somebody had done it already, that's real censorship resistance.

@Sushubh that's what I meant. The cost isn't a big issue. Running it is. We will of course need more people to pitch in the discussion.

@kushal @digitaldutta @jamewils @sanjayuvacha @stux @Gargron can we have more people to talk about this please?

Good people of #mastodon #india - have we set up any new instances in the last few weeks? I recall @h_tejas was talking about it. And @musafir already has the perfect name for it - Tootistan. 😂

@stux and @Gargron have been very kind and gracious hosts, like the rest of the Fediverse. But given we're probably going to have some pretty dark and intense takes on politics and society, I'm wondering if the right thing to do would be to volunteer to build and maintain our own space?

Can we keep @Mastodon free from any bullshit related to a shitty person called Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga?
Please?
It's a request.

@iladikshit sounds great! Looking forward to your comments upon completion. :)

The year is 2040. A 15 judge bench of the Supreme Court of India is sitting on the question of whether a review petition filed against the decision of the 13-judge bench in 2036 on whether another review petition filed in 2031.....

"No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all."

These days, I worry a lot about a severely mentally unwell loved one. When I try to break it down there are few things that stand out—

★the grief that our relationship is just a memory now
★their experience of me is altered irreversibly
★their inability to love me the same
★me struggling to not let our love fizzle out
★fear of growing resentful of them

I feel like I'm in a bad relationship with the Supreme Court. My mood swings every day depending on what I hope they'll do, what they actually do, and what they don't do.

A request to my #Mastodon friends. Just like old times Twitter, this is the format of mass-mentioning in a reply.

@ rest of the people who were in the thread

JNU Admin is lying about rolling back fee hike.
- 95% of fee hike incl user charges remain
- patriarchal dress code & curfew & scrapping of 24*7 library timings remain
- Partial roll back of room rent ONLY for students w/ families in BPL list, w/ income of below Rs 27000 per annum - just Rs 2250 per month! (So even min wage earners not counted poor)
- 40% JNU students' families earn less than Rs 144000 per annum - Rs 12000 per month, these wd not benefit from roll back! #JNUFeeHikeRemains

We have now here 👇

#mastodon gets richer!

@moonlighting Considering there was a difference of 2% jump the current GDP could be as low as 2%.

At 7% GDP think the government contribution is around 2%. Which would be mean that the growth of GDP outside of the government would be less than
0.5% as there haven't been any significant drop in gov spending.

Unveiling the new logo for Indian Civil Liberties Union in the color blue which symbolizes justice, faith and confidence we have in the idea of India

‪The eagle has since ancient times symbolized strength and vision. The eagle is our inspiration for courage, strength of character and self-reliance. Like each color in our logo we hope tobridge gaps and reach new heights, hand drawn, it is a tribute to each one of you

Kudos to in house brilliance @sanobarfatma

Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

No, no more praises for Chandrachud et al.

After CIC's tenure and salary was brought under the executive control, none of these long eloquent judgements on #RTIAct mean anything.

Besides, Kashmir is still under seige and this court hasn't found time for emergency hearings.

So please sit down, as Fundamental Rights trump everything; even transparency.

This is SO messed up.

This investigation reveals 265 coordinated fake local media outlets serving Indian interests. All of them linked to New Delhi.

*Someone* seems to be putting in money into spreading disinformation across the world using fake websites. If THIS gets traced back to our Government, it would be incredibly INCREDIBLY embarrassing.

Chilean protesters are using lasers to bring down drones. Facial recognition cameras, drones and robots in general will make it hard for humans to protest in future.
