"..But was Godse also wrong in his reasons for killing Gandhi? "
"Gandhi never wanted India to be partitioned."
"Gandhi cannot be completely absolved of his role in creating “circumstances” that led to the Partition." Godse thought so.  "Indian politics, “in the absence of Gandhiji”, would surely be better," 
" He was proved wrong. India became a vibrant polity,  but not in Gandhi’s absence but through his eternal presence."

THE DANGEROUS IMPLICATIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT DENYING BAIL TO UMAR KHALID AND SHARJEEL IMAM

THE DANGEROUS IMPLICATIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT JUDGMENT DENYING BAIL TO UMAR KHALID AND SHARJEEL IMAM https://pucl.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/18Jan2025-PUCL-Position-Paper-SCUmarSHarjeel.pdf 18th Jan 20026

the judgment indicates that the Supreme Court has given the supreme imprimatur to the criminalisation of the constitutional freedoms of
speech, association and assembly, especially when exercised by Muslim citizens of India. It also lays down a troubling interpretation of the UAPA with serious implications for the future of the constitutional freedoms of speech, association and assembly.

PUCL states that the Supreme Court judgment, which has ignored set precedent and broadened the scope of terrorism under UAPA to include acts of civil disobedience and democratic protest by citizens, requires judicial review and scrutiny. UAPA has been systematically used against political dissenters and protesting citizens since its enactment. The amendments over the last decade have made the provisions even more draconian, leading to denial of bail in most cases, even where no or questionable evidence exists

As BMC elections near, BEST buses slip out of political focus

As BMC elections near, BEST buses slip out of political focus https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/as-bmc-polls-near-mumbais-best-buses-slip-out-of-political-focus-10464690/ The change is most visible in air-conditioned services. BEST owns only 25 AC buses, while 1,720 AC buses on city roads are run by private operators. Even among non-AC buses, privately run vehicles now far outnumber those owned by BEST. This growing dependence on private buses has come with worrying safety figures. Between January 2023 and December2025,BEST buses were involved in 958 accidents, in which77people were killed and 217 were injured.

Comment: Meanwhile the busses are cramped to a capacity which violates every rule in the Laws relating to public transport.  At places at like Churchgate the Driver will keep a packed audience locked, and go to the BEST counter, and even take a short break.  Sometimes the AC is not working.   The new Electric buses, with the gearless system also does not meeting the standards of steady driving, especially when the bus if overloaded and our roads damaged.  So standees have to hang on for dear life..
