Bant Singh is a Sikh labourer and singer from the Jhabhar village in Mansa district, Punjab, India, who has emerged as an agricultural labour activist, fighting against the power of the landowner. Described by Amit Sengupta as "an icon of Dalit resistance he has been active in organizing poor, agricultural workers, activism that continues despite a 2006 attack that cost him both of his lower arms and his left leg." After his minor daughter was raped by some powerful men in 2000, he dared take them to court, braving threats of violence and attempted bribes. The trial culminated in life sentences for three of the culprits in 2004. On the evening of 7 January 2006, Bant Singh was returning home through some wheat fields. He had just been campaigning for a national agricultural labour rally to be held in Andhra Pradesh in January. He was suddenly waylaid by a gang of seven men, suspected to be sent by Jaswant and Niranjan Singh, the current and former headmen of his village who have links with the Indian National Congress party. One of them brandished a revolver to prevent any resistance while the other six set upon him with iron rods and axes beating him to a pulp. He was left for dead, and a phone call was made to Beant Singh, a leading man in Jhabhar, to pick up the dead body. However, Bant Singh was alive, though barely. He was first taken to civil hospital in Mansa but was not given proper treatment there. Then he was taken to the PGI at Chandigarh, where both lower arms and one leg had to be amputated since gangrene had set in by then, and his kidneys had collapsed due to blood loss. The doctor was eventually suspended for his conduct

India needs this type of parenting !!! We are all Indians. 💪💪

From not being able to speak a single word properly for almost the first 2-3 years of his life… to confidently standing on a stage and anchoring an entire school event at just 6 years old.

My little cousin has come such a long way and I genuinely cannot explain how proud I felt watching him today. 🥹❤️

Life moves quietly sometimes. One day you’re worried sick about a child not speaking properly, and another day you’re sitting in the audience trying not to cry while he speaks into a microphone in front of hundreds of people.

Jai Hind 🇮🇳

I think it's a good initiative and I am really positive about it, but we can't deny the fact the in the mean time Govt also need to improve education sector.
Many education Affordable and Accessible for every child, so that people can trust Govt Schools again.

Dr. Kalam’s vision was unique in its own right. Picture children who don’t waste their days cramming JEE formulas but actually learn in workshops, welding, repairing motors, making stuff. Sounds cool, ( to me at least)

The proposal sounds very practical on paper. A mere 25% skill training could produce makers, not degree holders. The NEP 2020 itself began this process.

However, harsh realities lie beyond this dream.

Expansion to lakhs of schools? Nightmarish.
Some schools have lack of resources, instructors, poor infrastructure.
ON TOP OF THAT !!!
Parents will oppose – “My son/daughter should become an engineer or doctor.”

Implementation is the key challenge. Funds will be misappropriated, quality compromised, rural areas disadvantaged.

Nevertheless, Dr. Kalam was way ahead of his time. With strong political commitment, industry cooperation, and pilot programs, it might revolutionize India.
Otherwise? Another forgotten document.
Thoughts? Worth pursuing or merely a utopian fantasy?

Be positive and respectful, if you disagree on something please mention it nicely don't ruin sub's vibe and mind your language.

India is reportedly planning to eliminate physical toll plazas by the end of 2026 and replace them with a barrier-free toll collection system using MLFF (Multi-Lane Free Flow) technology.

Under the proposed system, vehicles may no longer need to stop at toll booths. Instead, tolls would be automatically deducted through FASTag, GPS tracking, and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) systems while vehicles continue moving at highway speeds.

According to government estimates, the move could save nearly ₹40,000 crore annually by reducing fuel wastage, congestion, and travel delays caused by long toll queues. It could also reduce manual toll operations and lane bottlenecks on major highways.

Sounds futuristic, but it also raises questions around GPS tracking, privacy, wrong deductions, and implementation across rural highways.

Do you think India is ready for a completely toll-booth-free highway system?

For years, Indian highways had one predictable thing—toll queues. Long. Slow. Annoying.

Now that might be changing.

Somewhere near Surat, on the Mumbai–Delhi highway, a car just drove past a toll point… without stopping. No barrier. No waiting. Just speed. This is happening at Choryasi on NH-48. India’s first barrier-free, Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system. Sounds technical, but the idea is simple—keep moving.

The system uses high-resolution ANPR cameras and RFID tech. FASTag does the job quietly in the background. You don’t slow down. You don’t roll your window down. The toll just… gets deducted. And if someone tries to skip it? Not really possible. The cameras catch the number plate, a digital invoice is sent. Ignore it, and things can escalate—penalties, even blocking of vehicle services. So yeah, not worth trying shortcuts.

What changes on the road is noticeable. No idling engines. Less honking. Less fuel being wasted for no reason. Travel feels smoother… almost like highways in developed countries, finally. And this isn’t a one-off experiment. The plan is bigger. Much bigger. Over 1,000 toll plazas across India could shift to this system by 2026. That’s the goal, at least.

It’s a small shift when you look at it. Just removing a barrier.

But sometimes, small changes move things forward faster than expected.

#Opinion (Answer to Why it took 70 years?)

We took 70 years to make our own big Tunnel Boring Machines because we lacked the advanced technology and large-scale industry. Most countries, including developed ones, also depended on just a few global companies.
After the 2020 Galwan clash, when China started blocking supplies, India took it as a challenge. In a short time, Indian companies partnered with Germany and successfully built massive "Made in India" TBMs like Arjuna. Yes, it took time, but now we are becoming self-reliant in this critical technology. Better late than never!

(fact check) Edit -  India is transitioning from pure import to localized assembly and partial manufacturing, it has not yet achieved complete indigenous design and manufacturing of TBMs.  The machines are assembled in India using imported core technologies and components.

But unfortunately, saw many such comments like:

" Gold kab?"

" Bronze leke itni khushi?"

" Is the achievement in the room with us?"

And I can go on. But I think any kind of achievement is ACHIEVEMENT. It should be celebrated, appreciated and encouraged. Only the people who are frustrated with their lives pass comments like these. When I used to take part in any cultural activities, I used to secure 1st or 2nd position most of the time. And those moments were priceless. Never felt that it's nothing, it's a small thing. And here they literally got into international level. People are so mean these days.

Sonam Zomba successfully retained her MFN Women’s Strawweight World Title at Matrix Fight Night 18 by defeating Brazil’s Maristela Alves via armbar submission in the third round.  
The 27-year-old fighter from Arunachal Pradesh, who trains in Assam, neutralized Alves' striking advantage with tactical grappling, securing the victory at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Indoor Sports Complex in Greater Noida. 

This win extends Zomba’s unbeaten streak to seven consecutive fights since her 2022 comeback, improving her professional record to 7-1.  Her performance drew praise from Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu, who hailed her as a symbol of excellence and an inspiration for young athletes across India.  Zomba previously won the vacant title at MFN 17 with a unanimous decision over Russia’s Anna Safeeva

Indian Railways is implementing metro-style entry and exit gates at select stations to enhance crowd management, ensure only valid ticket holders enter, and prevent overcrowding. 

New Delhi Railway Station has recently installed high-tech turnstile gates similar to those in metro stations, following a fatal stampede last year.  These gates allow entry only for passengers with valid tickets, while a large holding area near Ajmeri Gate accommodates thousands of travelers to reduce platform congestion. 

In Mumbai, Western Railway is piloting metro-style gates at 12 stations, including Bandra Terminus, Borivali, and Andheri, alongside nine stations in Gujarat.  This initiative aims to streamline passenger flow, curb fare evasion, and improve safety through designated entry and exit points, with ticket checks and security screenings conducted at these gates.

#Opinion
I think it would work and helps improve crowd management and will stop without ticket passengers form entering. No long lines, No Chaos, and less waiting hours.
BUT only if the implementation will be done correctly.

India doesn’t get chances like this very often. And this one? It’s big!

Japan stepping in with the Mogami-class frigates isn’t just another defence deal. It feels different. More serious. More… strategic.

Think about it. A 4,000+ ton stealth warship. Quiet. Hard to detect. Built for modern naval warfare, especially anti-submarine operations—which, honestly, is becoming more important every year. The oceans aren’t as empty as they used to be.

Now imagine these ships not just being bought, but built here. In India. That’s where things start to get interesting. Because this isn’t only about adding firepower. It’s about learning how that firepower is made.

Japan offering tech transfer? That’s huge. India has been pushing “Make in India” for years, but real progress only happens when advanced know-how actually comes in. Not just assembly. Real engineering. Real capability. This deal moves things in that direction… slowly, but clearly.

And then there’s the bigger picture. The Indo-Pacific is getting crowded. Tensions, competition, silent rivalries. India and Japan both know it. So this isn’t just about ships—it’s about alignment. Quiet cooperation. A shared understanding of what’s coming.

Also, let’s be practical. These frigates are not insanely expensive compared to Western options. Yet they still pack serious performance. That balance—cost and capability—is rare.

So yeah, on paper it’s a defence acquisition. But in reality?

It’s technology. It’s strategy. It’s signalling.

And maybe… it’s India preparing for a future where the seas matter more than ever.

Really appreciate her effort, she showed how a single person can challenge the wrong. Most of us are here online, don't have the courage to do it. BUT she really won, I think anyone can do it, but you really need to stand strong ( IF YOU ARE RIGHT, PEOPLE WILL PROTECT YOU)
