Appalling reaction from incharge Chairman, BoG, IISER Pune.
Umar Khalid has been in jail far too long, and now they are even banning his PhD thesis from academic campuses.
What are they afraid of?
We are looking for faculty. In particular, the computational biology group, but also other groups. If you want to work in a small, informal, institute on leading-edge areas of computational biology, broadly interpreted: please apply! And please share

US has Iran and Afghanistan envy. In their worst aspects. theguardian.com/world/2026/o…
So the government is
* closing 50+ metro stations in Delhi
* cancelling all trains going to New Delhi or Nizamuddin
* shutting down mobile internet.
Is this a strong response, or an utterly terrified response?

Not only did this year’s Nobel ignore co-inventor Ed Boyden for being a student at the time, it also entirely dismissed Zhuo-Hua Pan, who invented optogenetics months before this team did, only to get rejected everywhere. Story from ten years ago archive.ph/FAqsp
23 years ago when I was a postdoc in NY, someone mentioned the Canadian dish Poutine. I said, that's how the French spell Putin. Because if they pronounce "Putin" phonetically...
Everyone cracked up.
23 years later this p***** is still around and a welcome visitor in New Delhi.
Actually, the amazing thing to me is
1. This site posts all this bigoted nonsense, unredacted, as if it is a good thing. ("The complete, original, unedited teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada online"). Including audio.
2. People still support ISKCON.

There are many more such things he said, about lower castes, about women, everything. Do read.

Hey @TataMotors @Tataev the point of the underbody protection is to protect the battery. How can your service centres deny warranty based on minor scratches like this?

A reply to another post but I feel like I should RT it as its own thread.
Scholarship: Manmohan and Nehru would be top two, in some order. Absolutely no question about that.
What order? Maybe Manmohan top on depth, Nehru top on breadth.
Tagging @cctpolice -- one of your people must have done this. The photo online shows a tiny fraction of my number plate, with no indication of what the alleged offence is. How do I escalate this?
Hey @MORTHIndia I got a challan for, apparently, parking obstructing traffic. I did not do that, I always park carefully in allowed spots. And when I try to raise a grievance I get this information.
So if you don't have a GRO assigned I can't raise a grievance?

A car was vandalised by Kanwariyas over allegations of desecration in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Police at the spot could be seen standing as mute spectator.

Do the students in Kota preparing for JEE really not understand English?
But many may not understand Hindi. They don't all come from the Hindi belt.
Imagine a world where the US and Britain had not conspired to overthrow Mossadegh.
