  NEWS SNIPPET-2502 SARASIJ||27SEPT.25 GLOBAL KALEIDOSCOPE - Despite more than a century of understanding that the 14th Amendment confers citizenship on people born in the United States, the Trump administration told the Supreme Court in an appeal that notion was “mistaken” and that the view became “pervasive, with destructive consequences,” and asked SC to review its constitutional validity.   CNN James Comey, the former FBI director fired by President Trump in 2017, was indicted in rushed proceedings by a federal grand jury in Virginia Thursday night. “There are costs to standing up to Donald Trump,” Comey said in  a short video response . “I am not afraid. My heart is broken for the Department of Justice. But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I am innocent. So let’s have a trial.” FREE PRESS Netanyahu is addressing the UN General Assembly (UNGA) today amid heightened international pushback to Israel’s war in Gaza and plans for the Wes...

  NEWS SNIPPET SARASIJ MAJUMDER||26Sept.25 1.0: Prime Payout: Amazon reached a $2.5B settlement with the Federal Trade Commission yesterday, ending a civil trial over claims it enrolled customers in Prime without consent and intentionally made cancellations difficult. The company's shares fell 1% on the news. Without admitting wrongdoing, Amazon will pay a $1B civil penalty—the largest in FTC history—and refund $1.5B to affected consumers. Prime, with over 200 million paying members, helped generate almost $24B in subscription revenue in the first half of 2025. However, the FTC alleges Amazon locked nearly 40 million consumers into recurring subscriptions with deceptive page designs, including a four-page, six-click, 15-option journey to cancel called "Iliad Flow." Amazon revised the flow in 2023 and must continue streamlining user journeys under the settlement.   In recent weeks, the FTC settled similar lawsuits against Match Group for $14M and Chegg for $7.5M a...

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years.

KNOW THY LEADER AND IDENTIFY ENEMY

Image
  KNOW THY LEADER AND   IDENTIFY ENEMY SARASIJ MAJUMDER Think about it—the man who has effectively FIRST MARGINALIZED   AND THEN ALMOST ERASED Arvind Kejriwal (AK-49) & HIS   PARTY without even uttering his name. AK-49 was once a ‘DEEP STATE’ man, later dumped. Uddhav Bhai is gasping for political life!! Congress party IS LIVING SOMETIME IN ICU , SOMETIME IN VENTILATOR for the last 12 years . And who ensured that elections were conducted relatively peacefully in a state like West Bengal—where, at one time, voting was synonymous with violence, gunfire, bombings, and loss of hundreds of lives. Who, and whose party and whose Leaders achieved the above? Introspect. Who revoked Article 370—a decision that Political Pundits & Critics once claimed would start with   a bloodbath in Kashmir, ultimately end with getting Kashmir joining with PAKISTAN. Well—the situation is different!! Who has largely brought the menace of stone-pelters in Kashmi...
