The highway in question is cratered with potholes due to shoddy, cut-rate roadwork that disintegrates at the first sign of inclement weather.

The worst part? There's a train between those same two cities, but the state of the railways in this country is beyond the pale, ironically because the government is pretending to invest in shiny new roads that...are cratered with potholes and disintegrate at the first sign of inclement weather.

So they changed the name for majority appeasement. But,

How exactly will rebranding help fix corruption?

The Indian government is considering grounding Air India’s Boeing 787 fleet, Indian broadcaster NDTV reported on Friday, a day after one of the airline’s aircraft of the same make crashed in Ahmedabad city, killing more than 240 people, according to the Reuters news agency.

This looks like what we would call a museum.

A month old take into Byju's history

The recent escalation followed a deadly attack on 22 April, in Pahalgam, a town in Indian-administered Kashmir. Twenty-six tourists, mostly Hindus, were killed.

The Resistance Front, an insurgent militia, initially claimed responsibility, then retracted the statement, saying that its account on a digital platform had been hacked.

India blamed Pakistan and promised retribution. Pakistan denied involvement in the attack and called for an international investigation. Days later, India launched Operation Sindoor, a wave of air strikes, describing them as “non-escalatory” in nature.

Many of the drones used in the operation were Israeli-made. Among the systems deployed was the Harop, a “suicide drone” developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). Designed to hover above a target area before diving for impact, the Harop carries a 10-kilogram warhead and can remain airborne for nearly six hours.

Since acquiring the Harop, India has increasingly relied on it. Oshrit Birvadker, a fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security, told The Times of Israel that India’s use of Harop drones reflects “Israel’s growing footprint in Indian defense.”

India and Ukraine are the world’s two largest arms importers.

Over recent years, India has become Israel’s most dependable buyer. Between 2001 and 2021, India imported $4.2 billion worth of Israeli arms. India’s support for Israel has also grown during the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

In May 2024, Spain denied docking rights to the Marianne Danica ship carrying 27 tonnes of explosives bound for Haifa, a port city in Israel. The cargo had originated in Chennai, India. The incident underlined India’s role not just as a buyer but also as a supplier of arms.

We cannot let the genocidal state act unchecked. Please spread the word and show up in droves!
