The Gender Studies Cell at St. Stephen’s College issues a defamatory statement
Supreme Court advocate J Sai Deepak verified on Twitter that the Gender Studies Cell of Delhi’s St. Stephen’s College has vehemently rejected’ his invitation to lecture on his new book, India that is Bharat — Coloniality, Civilization, and Constitution, given by the college’s leadership cell.
In a Tweet thread, Supreme Court attorney J Sai Deepak revealed images of a deplorable article published by students of St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell against him, while protesting an invitation offered to him by another college department.
“Free speech,” he said on Twitter. A wide range of viewpoints. Toleration. Inclusion. St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell. While uploading screenshots of the post posted by students of St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell, I sang “Vande Mataram.”
While opposing the invitation, students from St. Stephen’s College’s Gender Studies cell used derogatory names for the senior SC barrister, such as “bigoted,” “sexist,” “casteist,” and “misogynistic.” Students in the Gender Studies cell department went on to label J Sai Deepak as Islamophobic for his public statements on the recent Burqa row, which erupted into a major controversy due to the left-liberal intelligentsia’s ongoing efforts to instil fear psychosis in the minds of Muslims by painting a dystopian picture of the current state of affairs and portraying the centre as working against Muslims.
Rather than holding recalcitrant Muslim girls who insist on wearing burqas to colleges and schools in violation of established rules and regulations, liberals have blamed college authorities and administration for the current crisis, alleging that Muslim girls are being denied entry to institutions is part of a sinister government plan to target Muslims.
Furthermore, several students at St Stephen’s College “condemned the invitation, urged for a cancellation of his presentation, and a boycott if the event is still held” because of J Sai Deepak’s public stances on the Sabarimala judgement, Citizenship Amendment Act, and Article 370.
A Supreme Court counsel named J Sai Deepak is a prominent figure in Indian politics. Indeed, because of Mr J Sai Deepak’s public statements on the Citizenship Amendment Act, Article 370, and illegal migration, Jamia Millia Islamia cancelled J Sai Deepak’s lecture on ‘Minority Rights’ in 2020. Jamia Millia Islamia was at the core of the anti-CAA rallies that became violent in November, with Islamists joining in and engaging in unrestrained stone-pelting, burning, and destruction. The ‘protests,’ however, were initiated in the guise of safeguarding constitutional values.
Navi Mumbai Civic Body Bridges the Healthcare Gap with Free Screenings and Follow-up Care Across Local Centers.
The Drive
In a major boost to public health, 1,292 citizens were screened during a free cancer detection drive conducted across various health centers by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC).
The initiative focused on early detection for common cancers including oral, breast, and cervical cancers giving local residents access to crucial preventive care close to home. Medical teams set up diagnostic stations at Urban Primary Health Centers (UPHCs) to ensure seamless access, particularly for working-class and middle-income families.
Beyond basic checkups, civic health teams provided guidance on early warning signs, lifestyle risks, and the importance of routine health monitoring. Citizens identified with potential symptoms received direct referrals to municipal hospitals for further testing and subsidized follow-up treatment.
Community health drives play an essential role in saving lives by catching illnesses before they progress. By making preventive care accessible to all, NMMC continues to strengthen healthcare infrastructure across the city.
Community comes together in Kukshet Village to honor Maharashtrian heritage with folk games, music, and local camaraderie.
Celebrating Tradition
Highlighting the rich cultural fabric of the region, women across Nerul gathered at the Shri Vitthal Rukmini Temple in Kukshet Village to celebrate Nag Panchami. Organized under the guidance of former Mayor Sujata Patil and local representative Suraj Patil, the annual festival brought Ward No. 23 alive with traditional music, energetic games, and community spirit.
The temple courtyard transformed into a vibrant hub of Maharashtrian heritage as over 100 local women participated in age-old folk traditions that are increasingly rare in modern urban life. Attendees filled the air with traditional Nag Panchami and Mangalagaur songs while joining hands for lively rounds of Zimma and Phugdi. The day featured classic games including Kombda, Katwatkhana, blowing into copper pots (Kalshi Phunkne), and dancing with decorated earthen pots.
Beyond the cultural performances, the gathering highlighted strong neighborhood ties. Local residents expressed deep appreciation for the safe, supportive environment fostered in the area, noting that community initiatives like these strengthen mutual trust and preserve local culture for younger generations. With smiling faces, traditional rhythms, and shared prayers for prosperity, this year’s Nag Panchami reaffirmed the power of community traditions in keeping local heritage vibrant and strong.
Meta Multispeciality Hospital in Ghansoli opens with free care for newborn baby girls and elderly citizens.
The Hospital
Access to quality healthcare just got a major boost for local families. Meta Multispeciality Hospital officially opened its doors in Ghansoli Sector 4, promising state-of-the-art medical technology alongside a deeply human approach to community care.
The facility was inaugurated by Forest Minister and Palghar Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik, who toured the premises to inspect its emergency wards, OPD facilities, and advanced diagnostic machinery. Speaking to attendees, Naik praised the hospital’s leadership for prioritizing affordable, high-quality treatment for middle-class households.
What sets the hospital apart, however, is its landmark social welfare initiative announced during the opening by community leader Sagar Chougule and hospital administrator Dr. Swarna Shelke:
- Free Maternity Care for Girl Child Deliveries: To celebrate and encourage the birth of female children, the hospital will waive all delivery charges for mothers giving birth to baby girls.
- Free OPD Services for Seniors: Outpatient consultations will be entirely free for senior citizens aged 65 and above.
“Healthcare shouldn’t feel like an unbearable financial burden,” said Dr. Shelke. “Our primary goal is to bring modern medical infrastructure within reach of every everyday citizen.”
With monsoon-related illnesses on the rise, the team also plans to host free community health camps to catch seasonal infections early. By blending modern medicine with genuine community compassion, the new hospital aims to build a healthier, safer Navi Mumbai.
