Merely Possessing Aadhar Card, PAN Card, Voter ID Card Not Proof Of Being Indian Citizen : Bombay High Court https://www.livelaw.in/high-court/bombay-high-court/aadhar-not-proof-of-indian-citizenship-pan-card-voter-id-citizenship-act-300662 A Single-judge denied bail to the Petitioner, who was booked by the Thane Police, last year, on the ground that he was a Bangladeshi national and that he misled the Indian authorities and obtained Aadhar Card, PAN Card and also a Voter ID Card, income tax records, gas and electricity connections, fraudulently.
Comment:
WA: SS: That Aadhaar is not a proof of citizenship has been pronounced umpteen times. But, what about the voter's card!?
The SIR exercise is cancelling already issued voter's card. The ECI is telling it's not obliged to tell why!? Even passport, which is issued only after mandatory police verification being disallowed!
JD: The more they reject different types of IDs, they are only proving that the whole system is corrupt, and that they are "incompetent". The same bureaucracy and law and order machinery, that handled the election during the elections, managed great things , in fact became Vishwa gurus, has now been reduced to playthings at the hands of this one! And the judiciary is allowing themselves to be tied up in knots by Tushar Mehta and his ilk! Of course they have an excuse -- the EC is a constitutional body - which they themselves allowed to be appointed in an partisan manner... We dont ! Blow Hot Blow Cold, we just put things in the back burner till retirement do us part!

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has been granted permission to hold a 'peaceful assembly' against the Israeli genocide in Gaza. https://www.barandbench.com/news/litigation/cpim-granted-permission-to-hold-rally-against-gaza-genocide-mumbai-police-to-bombay-high-court .
On July 25, the Court had rejected a petition filed by CPI(M) to hold a protest on the issue at Azad Maidan. At the time, the Court had also strongly criticised the party, observing that that instead of focusing on issues thousands of miles away, the party should concentrate on problems affecting India.
The CPI(M) moved a fresh plea. When the matter was heard yesterday, the Court had asked the State's Additional Public Prosecutor to take instructions on whether it can allow the protest with some conditions to ensure that it doesn't affect public order.

What Sholay says about 1970s India https://www.hindustantimes.com/opinion/what-sholay-says-about-1970s-india-101754836643574.html By
Rajni Bakshi (Read the whole article to check if I am not twisting the tale)
Sholay was released on Independence Day in 1975. the Emergency was declared on June 25, 1975. .The producers of Sholay changed the ending . the police , persuade Thakur to not kill Gabbar. (A sign of the Time or the future?)
Earlier, Hindi films critiqued the system of governance in order to project stories of rebellion or idealistic struggle. In Sholay, there is no samaj (society)..(.Just ) raw, personal, need for revenge versus Gabbar as an individual.
In India after Sholay, the validation and celebration of vengeance, by individuals and collectives, became a cultural and political phenomenon. ...The political discourse, using digital era propaganda mechanisms, has generated collective forms of victimhood and projected vengeance as both natural and justified.
a wide variety of audio-visual media.. now appears to be a collective bloodlust. ... ... mass acceptance of vengeance makes restoration of the justice system increasingly difficult or even impossible. (Check out ideas on this in https://www.youtube.com/@AhimsaConversations - ab tak 138 views)
... the rejected original ending of Sholay, which can be found on YouTube. For, this version leaves us with some difficult questions. After Thakur succeeds in killing Gabbar, he crumbles to the ground looking stunned. As Viru, the surviving hired-gun, tries to comfort him, Thakur breaks down and sobs bitterly. ..is Thakur also weeping because his victory somehow feels empty?ssed are personal
