'Mini-India', a space for all: Jantar Mantar's special place on Delhi's protest map
I was born here, and the area used to be peaceful. Protests happened elsewhere, and even in the early 2000s, the problems were not as severe. Our troubles began with the Anna Hazare movement in 2011. It is not just me; residents of hundreds of homes along Curzon Road, Barakhamba Road and Tolstoy Marg have been affected.We hope everyone will finally get some breathing space,
Delhi is once again flooded with people standing up to save democracy. If Modi thinks taking away Jantar Mantar will put an end to protests, he is mistaken. Jantar Mantar is not just a location but a spirit of resistance that nobody can ever take away,
Protest site are spaces to be heard, where media can come, people's representatives can come. Jantar Mantar had access issues and it was a smaller space but Burari, Ramlila Maidan and CBD ground are farther away and have their own problems. The protests should be moved back to India Gate laws which have broader roads, larger space and it is closer to Parliament. People have a right to be heard,
Roads leading to our homes are barricaded, there is noise and garbage, and our daily lives are disrupted. If you were living in my place, you would argue the same way. We are relieved by the order because we hope this decision will finally bring us some peace,
It was an open space for people to gather and present their demand to government. We have attended many democratic protests at India gate laws, boat club where government ministers, leader of oppositions or senior bureaucrats would come to receive the representations. Tens of thousands of people could assemble near the center of power. In Washington, people cab gather right outside the Capitol Hill. Why should we be moving people away to Burari, CBD ground,

Abhishek may not have contributed heavily in the 2026 T20 World Cup win, but he came out a better player for it
He's a world-class player. Kudos to him, for sure. But I guess our Plan B was to just be as defensive as possible and try to make him get singles and twos rather than boundaries. Nothing too extravagant,
When they have such a field placement, it allows me to make room and play those shots,

India need bowlers like Shami for 2027 World Cup: Kaif
Kaif was a key middle-order batter and an ideal foil to Yuvraj Singh’s flamboyance when India reached the final of the 2023 edition, the last time the 50-over World Cup was staged mainly in South Africa
One player will not win you the World Cup abroad, Kohli is the main player, but a lot of others will need to help,
A lot of batters are in the queue, but in bowling there is no one. Who after Jasprit Bumrah we have to figure out,
Shami had a big impact in the 2023 tournament. In Africa, you will get flat wickets, you need experienced players. Shami is a skilful bowler... He is an ICC event bowler, he has performed in every World Cup. Bhuvneshwar’s selection has given hope to other experienced bowlers,
The conditions have become much better in South Africa, there are a lot of batting-friendly pitches. So, I don’t think bowlers will dominate. I feel batters will dominate, so which team has better bowlers will do well,
The focus is on Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, I think they will be fine. If India has to win, bowling and fielding must be sorted, they are the two important aspects,
