Can Casteist Slurs on Social Media Fall Under the SC/ST Act? The Calcutta High Court has held that “public view” under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, is not necessarily limited to physical spaces — and can extend to the digital domain. This means casteist abuse posted on social media may attract provisions of the Act when the statutory requirements are met. Sections 3(1)(r) and 3(1)(s) deal with intentional caste-based insult, intimidation or abuse occurring “within public view.” But there is an important distinction: not every caste-related remark automatically constitutes an offence under these provisions. Supreme Court precedents have stressed that courts must examine the circumstances of each case, including whether the alleged conduct was connected to caste and whether it occurred where members of the public could witness or hear it. #CalcuttaHighCourt #SupremeCourt #SCSTAct #SocialMedia #IndianLaw #LegalNews #CasteDiscrimination #DigitalLaw #CyberLaw #IndianJudiciary

SpaceX Crew Sets U.S. Speed Record to the ISS A four-member NASA crew launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule, reaching the International Space Station after an approximately eight-hour journey and setting a new U.S. speed record for a crewed trip to the orbiting laboratory. The mission also marked a historic first, with Commander Jessica Watkins becoming the first Black woman to lead a crew into orbit. The launch came after a three-week delay caused by a fuel-system leak. Watkins is no stranger to the ISS—she previously spent months aboard the station in 2022—and will now lead the crew during its planned six-month stay in orbit. Beyond the records, the mission represents another milestone in the continuing partnership between NASA and SpaceX, which has become central to transporting American astronauts to and from the International Space Station. A faster journey to orbit, a historic command, and another chapter in commercial human spaceflight. #SpaceX #NASA #JessicaWatkins #ISS

UPSC Completes 100 Years: A Century of India’s Public Service Commission 🇮🇳 On 1 October 1926, India’s first Public Service Commission was established — beginning an institutional journey that would eventually lead to today’s Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). Its roots extend further back. The Indian Civil Service examination was introduced in London in 1855, while the examination was held in India for the first time in 1922. The Public Service Commission was established in 1926, became the Federal Public Service Commission in 1937, and after the Constitution came into force, became the UPSC in 1950. Today, UPSC is an independent constitutional body responsible for conducting examinations and recruitment for key services of the Union. #UPSC #UPSC100Years #CivilServices #IAS #IPS #IndianCivilServices #UPSCExam #IndianHistory #PublicService #India #GovernmentJobs #UPSCJourney

Trust is what holds our societies together. But trust has increasingly been shifting from humans to AI. As we lose trust in bankers, we put more trust in computer-controlled cryptocurrencies, and as we lose trust in journalists, we put trust in social media algorithms providing our news. What happens when we stop trusting each other completely? #YuvalNoahHarari #TheEconomist #Quotes #Trust

Day complete. Now let it go. If you completed your targets today, acknowledge the effort. You stayed committed to what you had planned, and that matters. Now switch off, recover, and give yourself proper rest. If the day did not go according to plan, don’t end it by blaming yourself. Take a few minutes to reflect: What distracted you? What could you handle differently tomorrow? Learn the lesson, make the correction, and then close the day. Don’t carry today’s guilt into tomorrow. Reflection gives direction; guilt only consumes energy. A good day doesn’t need celebration at the cost of sleep, and a bad day doesn’t need punishment at the cost of peace. Today is finished. Rest well. Tomorrow, we begin again with a clear mind.
