India’s first LNG-diesel dual-fuel train has been flagged off from Sabarmati Station by Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The train uses liquefied natural gas (LNG) alongside diesel, with the initiative aimed at reducing diesel consumption and lowering emissions from railway operations. According to the details shared, the technology is expected to generate annual savings of around ₹23.9 lakh. The introduction of LNG as an alternative fuel for railway locomotives marks an effort to explore cleaner and more cost-efficient fuel options within India’s rail network.

Born Lal Bahadur Srivastava in 1904 into a Kayastha family, Lal Bahadur Shastri was deeply influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and the Arya Samaj from a young age. Rejecting caste-based identity, he voluntarily dropped the surname “Srivastava” while still a student and chose to be known simply as Lal Bahadur.

The title “Shastri” was not a family surname. It was an academic distinction awarded to him by Kashi Vidyapith in 1926 for his scholarship in philosophy and ethics.

His rejection of caste identity reflected the simplicity and values that shaped his public life. As Prime Minister, he led India during the 1965 Indo-Pak War and inspired the nation with the iconic slogan, “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.” Known for his honesty and humility, he had earlier resigned as Railway Minister after a major train accident, accepting moral responsibility and setting a powerful example of political accountability.

Though his life ended suddenly in Tashkent in 1966, Lal Bahadur Shastri remains remembered as one of India’s most humble, principled, and selfless leaders.

Mark Twain (1835–1910), born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, was an American writer, humorist, essayist, and social critic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest figures in American literature.

Best known for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain used humor, satire, and sharp social commentary to challenge hypocrisy, racism, inequality, corruption, and blind obedience to authority.

His writing often carried a deeper message beneath its humor. He believed that questioning accepted ideas was essential to a free society, and he was particularly critical of imperialism, slavery, and the political and social institutions of his time.

Twain’s legacy lies not only in his novels but also in his distinctive voice: funny, skeptical, rebellious, and deeply observant of human nature.

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
— Mark Twain

Bhagat Singh wrote “Why I Am an Atheist” in 1930 while he was imprisoned by the British and facing the possibility of execution. The essay was his response to a very specific question people kept asking about him: how could someone so fearless in the face of death not believe in God? Many assumed his courage must come from faith, while others accused him of becoming an atheist out of pride. Through this essay, he set out to clarify his position.

“Why I Am an Atheist” is not just about rejecting religion. It is a reflection of his commitment to reason, questioning, and personal integrity. He encourages people to think independently, challenge inherited beliefs, and take responsibility for shaping society.

Even today, the essay continues to resonate because it speaks about courage in its purest form. It asks us to consider whether we believe something because it is true or simply because it is comforting, and it reminds us that real change depends on human effort, not divine intervention.

Cartoons have healing powers, said Modi. Turns out, the government has a rather different prescription for cartoonists.

Satish Acharya’s Instagram account and a Manjul cartoon on the Election Commission have been withheld in India. And this is far from the first time.

In 2018, cartoons could heal. He forgot to say whom they would make sick.
