The World Through Rakesh Sharma's Eyes

  Modi, Shah, and Gyanesh Kumar Are in Jail: Just Think About It Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/09/blog-post_894.html I’ve kept your wording, arguments, and biting tone, while correcting grammar, sentence structure, and places where the meaning was getting lost. Unfortunately, people in India are just discovering how compromised the Supreme Court of India is. It took the case involving the ECI Chief’s daughter for people to see what the Supreme Court is capable of when it comes to twisting the laws in favor of people in the government. I have been alarming people through my blogs that the Supreme Court is compromised and that the BJP leadership has injected enough fear into the system that people would think twice before giving judgments against them. CJI Chandrachud was seen celebrating Ganesh Pooja with Modi after having given judgments that favored his government or staying silent when, in my view, he needed to act. This is how the BJP works...

  The 2026 Midterm Elections: What Kind of America Do We Want to Be? For the next few weeks, we need to focus on the U.S. midterm elections, with voting ending on November 3. Early voting is already available in some states, and I encourage every eligible American to vote early rather than wait until the last moment. Those who are afraid of ICE harassment simply because of their skin color should not have to live in such fear. No American should have to carry a passport to prove that they belong in the nation where they were born and have lived their entire lives. When people begin to fear their own government, we need to ask ourselves what is happening to this nation. I understand that we may have political differences, but let's look at the kitchen-table issues that every American is facing. Assume that your monthly living cost was $1,500. If that cost goes up by 25%, you are paying another $375 every month, or $4,500 a year. A 45% increase means another $675 every month. The...

  जब नागरिकों से वोट देने का अधिकार छीन लिया जाए , तो लोकतंत्र खतरे में पड़ जाता है English Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/09/when-citizens-lose-their-right-to-vote.html चुनिंदा लोगों के नाम मतदाता सूची से हटाने का मतलब है उनसे अपनी सरकार चुनने का अधिकार छीन लेना। जब नागरिक अपना यह अधिकार खो देते हैं , तो सत्ता में बैठे लोगों के खिलाफ उनकी आवाज़ भी कमजोर पड़ जाती है। और जब कोई सरकार हिटलर की तरह निर्दयी हो जाए , तो कौन जानता है कि आगे क्या हो सकता है ? नीचे दिए गए वीडियो देखिए और उन लोगों की आवाज़ सुनिए जिनके मतदान के अधिकार खतरे में हैं। कल्पना कीजिए कि आप जिस देश में पैदा हुए , जहाँ आपने अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी बिताई , उसी देश में अचानक आपसे वोट देने का अधिकार छीन लिया जाए और आपको यह साबित करना पड़े कि आप इसी देश के नागरिक हैं। लोकतंत्र जनता का है , किसी ऐसी सरकार का नहीं जो हर कीमत पर सत्ता में बने रहना चाहती ...

  When Citizens Lose Their Right to Vote, Democracy Is in Danger Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/09/blog-post_24.html Selectively removing people from the voting list means taking away their right to choose their own government. When citizens lose that right, they also risk losing their voice against those in power. And when a government becomes ruthless, as history has shown us under Hitler, who knows what could happen next? Watch the videos below and listen to the people whose voting rights are at stake. Imagine being born in a country, living your entire life there, and suddenly finding yourself unable to vote or having to prove that you belong to your own nation. Democracy belongs to the people, not to a government that wants to remain in power at any cost.

  Democracy Works When Leaders Are Accountable to the People My reflections on meeting Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison A personal reflection on democracy, public service, and the importance of leaders who remain connected with the people. Democracy can be a wonderful system when the people in power are honest, work for the people, and remain approachable. They openly face the public, are ready to answer any questions the people have, and are willing to face the media. Elected officials must remember that they serve the people, not the other way around. Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, whom I have known since he first ran for Congress. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear his vision for Minnesota, discuss the issues affecting our communities, and listen to what he has accomplished during his tenure. What I felt good about meeting Keith was the ease with which he comes across and discusses issues affecting the people an...

  भारत को कौन चला रहा है और उन पर नज़र कौन रख रहा है ? https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/09/who-is-running-india-and-who-is.html https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdmabROBZY9/ भारत में 140 करोड़ से अधिक लोग रहते हैं , लेकिन जब सत्ता से सवाल पूछने वाली संस्थाओं पर ही सवाल उठने लगें , तो सत्ता में बैठे लोगों को जवाबदेह कौन ठहराएगा ? मीडिया का काम सरकार से सवाल पूछना है , उसका प्रचार विभाग बनना नहीं। चुनाव आयोग का काम जनता के वोट की रक्षा करना है , न कि अपनी निष्पक्षता पर ही सवाल खड़े होने देना। न्यायपालिका का काम न्याय देना है , न कि जनता को यह सोचने पर मजबूर करना कि क्या ताकतवर लोगों के लिए कानून अलग है। पुलिस का काम ऊपर से आदेश आने का इंतज़ार किए बिना एफआईआर दर्ज करना है। अपराध , अपराध होता है , चाहे उसे कोई भी करे। पुलिस का काम शिकायत दर्ज करना , जाँच करना और मामला न्यायपालिका के सामने पेश करना है। फिर किसी की शिकायत दर्ज होगी या ...

  Who Is Running India and Who Is Watching Them? Hindi Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/09/blog-post_22.html https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdmabROBZY9/ India has 1.4 billion people, but who holds those in power accountable when the institutions meant to question them are themselves under question? The media is supposed to question the government, not act as its publicity department. The Election Commission is supposed to protect the people's vote, not leave them questioning its independence. The judiciary is supposed to deliver justice, not leave citizens wondering whether the powerful enjoy special privileges. The police are supposed to register FIRs without waiting for orders from the top. A crime is a crime, regardless of who commits it. Their job is to record it, investigate it, and present the case before the judiciary. Why should political connections determine whether a complaint is registered? And when students demand fair examinations, teacher...

  America Needs to Build Its Future, Not Shrink It When I read Donald Trump’s history, I see a man born into wealth and privilege. During the Vietnam War, he received four student deferments and a medical deferment attributed to bone spurs. It appears to me that his father’s wealth and connections may have helped keep him away from military service while other young Americans were sent to war. Trump later rose to power by presenting himself as a businessman who understood ordinary Americans, but I question whether a man who has lived with such privilege understands the struggles of families trying to make ends meet. I can speak about what I see in my own city. I have seen gasoline selling for more than $5 a gallon. A loaf of bread that once cost me $2.99 now costs $5.49, and milk and other necessities have become more expensive. I cannot speak for every city or state, but I know what these increases mean for my household. When I see coins bearing Trump’s face being sold, I wonder w...

Kuchh hi dinon mein inhone, Khuda khud ko bana liya hai.   Choron ke sang inhone, Is desh ko hai loota. Jitne bhi vaade kiye inhone,...

  राहुल गांधी ने भाजपा की अपनी ही ‘ पप्पू ’ वाली रणनीति मोदी के खिलाफ इस्तेमाल करनी शुरू कर दी है English Version: https://rakeshinsightfulgaze.blogspot.com/2026/09/rahul-gandhi-is-turning-bjps-own-pappu.html Watch this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdhFDRAOVxQ/ 19 सितंबर को राहुल गांधी ने इंदौर में एक रैली की , जहाँ उन्होंने छात्रों की समस्याओं और इस सरकार की नाकामियों को उठाया। राहुल समझ चुके हैं कि मोदी को कमजोर करने का एक तरीका उन्हें सार्वजनिक रूप से उन्हीं के शब्दों और कामों के जरिए कटघरे में खड़ा करना है। यही तकनीक भाजपा ने अपने आईटी सेल के जरिए राहुल को ‘ पप्पू ’ बताकर इस्तेमाल की थी। फर्क यह है कि राहुल अब मोदी की प्रधानमंत्री पद के लिए योग्यता पर सवाल उठा रहे हैं और उनकी सरकार पर भारत तथा भारतीयों की संपत्ति और गरिमा छीनने का आरोप लगा रहे हैं। यह राजनीति की एक पुरानी रणनीति है , लेकिन राहुल इसे अपने अंदाज़ में इस्तेमाल कर रहे हैं। ...
