Once valued at $1.5B, Builder.ai sold shiny AI dreams but quietly hired thousands of Indian coders to mimic automation—proving in 2025 that “AI” stood for “Actually Indians,” while investors funded hype, not hardware, and mistook humans for bots

In the 1990s, Bihar plunged into a period infamously dubbed the “jungle raj,” a time when crime and chaos ruled and politicians openly sheltered gangsters. At the heart of this era was a chilling nexus between Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and his protégé, Mohammad Shahabuddin, a notorious strongman from Siwan.

"Freedom by expiry": Jailed in 1977 for a murder he didn’t commit, 104-year-old Lakhan Pasi walks free after 48 years—just as the Supreme Court begins its 2-month summer vacation, because what’s a lifetime lost when justice can nap in May and June
In a country where even the shadows of delayed justice stretch longer than lifetimes, the highest temple of law – the Supreme Court of India – currently lies dormant in its grand two-month summer hibernation. Yes, two full months of silence in the name of rest. If justice is a pillar as critical as healing the sick or guarding the frontiers, then surely the Chief Justice must also summon back every doctor from emergency wards and every soldier from their posts to enjoy the same privilege. Because after all, what’s the hurry? The lives they’re responsible for can wait — just like justice has w…
