It will be good script for an excellent film on the heroic role of brave men of Punjab Police under Roberio and KPS Gill and patriotic people of Punjab who defeated the plot of Deep state of Pakistan (Pak Army /ISI) and Khalistanis.

Now if one comments on this gross subversive line of tweet, it reflects orientation of left, right, centre or pro anti government.
Is it ill advised, deliberate, lack of knowledge on national security matters.
It is best that these political parties take onboard professionals who can advise them.
Imagine, from Nehru, onwards everyone has talked of these areas as PoJK and with one tweet the whole structure is destroyed.
Today, people of PoJk don't call that area as Azad Kashmir. It is a prison for them and they are held hostage.
It is called PoJK. Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir. @INCIndia please advise @INCKerala.

12th Cheif of Army Staff of India was assssinated by Khalistani terrorists at his home in Pune and today some Generals & Bureaucrats want to glorify OGW Khalra of Khalistani’s. Have they ever spoken about the human rights of police personnel’s and Hindu families killed by same Khalistani terrorists??

Sutlej definitely is an eye opener for secular Indians !!

[Maj Digvijay Singh Rawat, Kirti Chakra (Retd) @Dig_raw21]

Glorifying assassinations of CM /PM / police / army officials justified in Sutlej … being promoted by many Retired Indian Military persons and Bureaucrats is worrying. These Khalistani went against the Nation and wanted it’s disintegration with support from Pakistan.

Police personnel families & innocent Hindus were targeted by Khalistani and their sympathisers. Khalistani’s wanted Hindus out of Punjab .

Gaining fame by saying “Kitne Gazhi aye Kitne gaye” and now promoting Khalistani’s !!!

Then what is wrong with terrorist in J&K and NE they are doing same thing, let them target Army and police ?? . In India people have not raised above their caste, colour, religion even the military, police and bureaucrats.

Many are asking me to comment on the E-20 debate going on. So let me make my comments and also predict that E-20 fuel is here to stay and will become mainstream in the long term.

But, as usual, I am of the opinion the GoI should stop imposing and mandating this forcefully. The adoption must be left to states and consumers for now. Those who want and have the right vehicles, let them use it.

At least incentivize the use for now by giving great discounts on the fuel. If even that's not done, then of course the public will feel like they are being given a bad deal by GoI.

The perception must also be better managed by GoI using proper tests, research, and scientific reports done by third parties which are widely publicized as E-20 is given more time for the public to adopt.

The anti-E20 propaganda by certain groups for strategic and political reasons should be better managed dispelling some of the myths they have managed to spread using issues faced by the public.

And the issues from E-20 fuel, like lower mileage and corrosion on vehicles, especially the older ones, are real. Simply denying these is not going to help anything and only create more anti-Govt sentiment.

At the same time, E-20 saves lakhs of crores in a year in Forex, provides farmer support in lakhs of crores, reduces CO2 emissions, and strategically helps India reduce import dependence and cushion oil price volatility.

Also, Ethanol is a good anti-knock agent. It improves combustion efficiency and knock resistance. Again only if the engines are optimized for the fuel. Which may become the case all over India in another decade. So that's why I believe E-20 is here to stay in the long term.

So until then, imo, the GoI mandating E20 and forcing it can cause backlash, give ammo to adversarial narrative, and create a hasty withdrawal of all E20 one day costing India a lot. And helping adversaries get their way in keeping India reliant on higher imports.

Having said all the above, I believe the GoI thinks giving choice will delay the scale up of blending infra and wide scale adoption. Hence the GoI believes it can take the backlash for now but still force the change.

I don't know, given the history of poor perception management by GoI, this may only backfire and help India's adversaries use it to fuel dissent and disillusionment against the govt.

Today, on the death anniversary of Colonel Chewang Rinchen, we pay our deepest respects to the legendary son of Nubra and one of India’s greatest war heroes. His courage, leadership, and sacrifice will forever remain an inspiration to Ladakh and the nation.

The history of Ladakh is a story of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering patriotism. No one represents that spirit better than Colonel Chewang Rinchen, the legendary son of Nubra and one of India’s greatest war heroes.

At the age of just 17, he raised the Nubra Guards to defend Ladakh during the 1947–48 war. Those brave local volunteers later became the foundation of what evolved into the Ladakh Scouts, the legendary “Snow Warriors” of the Indian Army.

Colonel Chewang Rinchen fought with extraordinary courage in the 1947–48 Indo-Pak War, the 1962 Sino-Indian War, and the 1971 Indo-Pak War. During the historic Battle of Turtuk in 1971, he led the operation that brought approximately 850 square kilometres of strategically important territory, including Turtuk, Thang, Tyakshi, Chalunka, and more under Indian control, helping secure India’s northern frontier and the approaches to the Siachen region.

For his exceptional bravery and leadership, he was awarded:

•Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) for gallantry in the 1947–48 war.
•Sena Medal (SM) for distinguished courage during the 1962 war.
•Bar to the Maha Vir Chakra for his outstanding leadership and bravery in the 1971 war—making him one of the very few soldiers in Indian military history to receive the Maha Vir Chakra twice.

Nubra is one of India’s most strategically important regions, sharing frontiers with both Pakistan and China. For generations, the people of Nubra—soldiers and civilians alike—have stood as the guardians of India’s northern borders.

It is our responsibility to ensure that the younger generation learns the true history and geography of Ladakh. The sacrifices of Colonel Chewang Rinchen, our brave soldiers, and the resilient border communities must never be forgotten. They are the reason we proudly call this land Ladakh, India.

We are proud to be from Nubra. We are proud to be the fighters of Ladakh.

Jullay. Jai Hind. Jai Ladakh.

For decades, the standard critique against the Indian Knowledge System (IKS) was: "Where is the empirical data? Where are the peer-reviewed papers? It is all just mythology."

Now, when institutes like the IITs, IISc, & AIIMS are setting up dedicated research wings to rigorously test, validate & document these ancient sciences using modern, empirical protocols, the critics have panicked. They have switched from demanding proof to screaming "pseudoscience!" & "the brand is gone!"

For centuries, Western medicine dismissed the idea that the mind could heal the body as superstition. Today, neuroplasticity & the placebo effect are multi-billion-dollar fields of peer-reviewed research.

If a modern scientist discovers something new, it is called a "breakthrough." If an IKS researcher uses modern tools to prove that ancient Indians already knew that exact concept 1000s of years ago, it is called "pseudoscience."

In 2015, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Tu Youyou for discovering Artemisinin (an anti-malarial drug) by looking into ancient Chinese medical texts. Similarly, India’s Ayush research ministries & global pharmacological bodies are finding peer-reviewed validation for compounds like Curcumin (Turmeric) & Ashwagandha for their anti-inflammatory & neuroprotective properties.

Why do these people have a problem with India documenting its own heritage?

If China can globally brand Traditional Chinese Medicine & the West can capitalize on indigenous knowledge, We have every right to scientifically document our own Itihasa & knowledge systems. Demanding peer-reviewed papers for decades & then throwing a tantrum when India actually starts producing them, shows intellectual dishonesty, not a love for science.

Be proud that we are witnessing the renaissance of Bhartiya knowledge. It is a long journey, but Satya always outlasts ideological noise.

Well done, IITs...Proud to be an alum.

A Bengali woman carrying a British merchant on her back…

📸 This photo was taken in 1903, at the height of British colonialism in the Indian subcontinent. This isn't just a picture…

it's a slap in the face to all those who sing the praises of "Western civilization." This is the true face of colonialism, which they still try to beautify in history books.

It's slavery and the humiliation of human beings, the crushing of human dignity, simply because they don't belong to the white race! And then they ask you about terrorism…

The history of Western colonialism is full of massacres, slavery, plunder, and starvation… But they reduce terrorism to oppressed peoples struggling for their dignity! 🩸

The effects of what British colonialism did in India—the killing, starvation, plunder, and contempt for humanity—are still evident today. Millions

were killed, wealth was stolen, and generations were displaced… all under the banner of a false "enlightenment"!

Does China have a caste system?

[The Emissary @TheEmissaryCo]

I genuinely mean this earnestly:

When Indians look at China, they by & large admire the progress the country has made & want India to imbibe it.

Ironically, the most detailed conversations I've had about China's progress have been with Hindu Nationalists who see how China united & industrialized and want India to do the same.

Meanwhile, Indian Communist observations about China rely on completely skipping the economic journey of Deng-Hu-Jiang (for obvious reasons of conceding to capitalism) & pie in the sky propaganda of it being an equal atheist utopia.

What is telling is the reaction to a barely over a day old troll.

And I really want to emphasize how wild it is to be so angsty over a bunch of anons on X sharing satirical theories & videos of China.

While Chinese social media is infamous for non-stop negative & voyeuristic coverage of India, many of it being completely false or exaggerated. Indians of course are not going to take kindly to this phenomenon which has been going on for years at this point. That goes without saying how that effort has been state sanctioned & organized while this recent bout was literally randoms on X.

One day versus multiple years. Anons shitposting versus state-sanctioned propaganda.

The gulf is that massive.

Respectfuly, I don't think these situations are comparable in the grand scheme of things.

[The Emissary @TheEmissaryCo]

Many of the attacks on Hinduism from India's Left are primarily centered on Vaishnavism.

Why would this be?

Because Vaishnavism IS Indian Nationalism.

To understand this, let's go from Big to Smol.

The universalism of the Bhagavad Gita, where Lord Krishna (Vishnu) proclaims his infinite & foremost nature – an element that subsumes all other gods & poses a sense of finality – is a declaration of oneness.

That no matter what god one worships or ritual one conducts, the essence of that action is recieved by Vishnu.

Beyond this, the Itihasa maps out the entirety of India's geography. The sacred land between the silver peaked Himalayas and endless Indian Ocean is the staging ground for the exploits of Avatars. Various regions venerate the footsteps of Lord Ram & Lord Krishna who graced their earth.

These tales bind every part of India with vernacular variations and cultural imprints passed down from grandfather to grandchild for generations. The morals & values imparted from the Itihasa became the North Star of Indian society.

Yet even more granularly, we see the same dark-skinned god popping up across all locales, protecting his devotees and becoming their beloved. His name is different each time, but the aura matches that whose complexion reminds the Yogis of thunderclouds strolling across the monsoon sky.

At each instance - the philosophy of the Gita, the lore of the Itihasa, the warmth of the Dark Savior - there is a thread that stitches itself across the subcontinent. A country bound by faith to Lord Vishnu & his emanations.

[Aravind @aravind]

The seal creators, the ancient Indians, were much smarter than these fake professors.

They put a Rhino, an Elephant, and a Tiger together on the seal along with a Yoga pose to ensure it is not appropriated by such charlatans saying it is from Elam (Iran) or the West or China.

These charlatans work in universities under the funding from the GLISCO-DS, the Globalists, Islamists, and Communists. You know the countries.

All three groups are on a mission to appropriate everything Indian and making them Western, Islamic, or Chinese to bankrupt India of its civilization and make Indians gullible to them.

Now see them invent reasons in their universities, publish papers, and tell Indians how Iran had Tigers, Elephants, and Rhinos. And how all three came to India from Europe, Arabia, and China.

Sadly, many young Indians will believe them too and fight with you for them saying there's no deep state or agenda here. This is because of the state's apathy in allowing its young generation to be programmed by social media.

[Rakesh Krishnan Simha @ByRakeshSimha]

This is the Alexander Monument. It is not in Macedonia, Greece or Europe but in Jhelum, Pakistan.

It is built at the approximate location where in 326 BCE Alexander of Macedon clashed with the Indian King Porus in the Battle of Hydaspes.

While the Greeks claim victory, the descriptions of the outcome of the battle indicate the Indians were winning and the Greeks called for a truce. At best, it was a draw. The Greeks admitted that the Battle of Hydaspes was the most traumatic and difficult battle they had faced in Alexander's entire campaign.

In fact, during the Greek exit from India, down the Indus river, they were met with fierce resistance from Indian kingdoms. It was during one such battle with the Mallians in Southen Punjab that Alexander was hit by an arrow that ultimately led to his death.

Yet, instead of honouring their braveheart ancestor Porus, the Pakistanis built the Alexander Monument to honour the foreign invaders who massacred their forefathers. In fact, Pakistanis adore every invader who caused death and destruction in Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Swat and Sindh - Muhammad bin Kasim, Timur, Ghazni, Ghauri.

Pakistan is a truly bizarre country. No sense of the past, no pride in history.

No matter who won or lost in each state, India's democracy has won yet again. And @ECISVEEP has once again done a tremendous job running elections for 4+ states - with almost the population of the US voting.

TVK's tremendous performance, INC's win in Kerala, and BJP routing an unpopular TMC in Bengal - all happened because India gave the power of vote to every citizen equally and fairly.

Next time, please don't fall for foreign psyops amplified by local politics that India's institutions are compromised, elections are rigged, or voting should be in paper.

The foreign forces and DS are trying to game India's democracy and make it malleable to them. Your favorite politician and party may win because of it temporarily.

But in the end, it is India and you who will lose in the long term. The foreign adversary will win without having to fire a bullet just making us doubt our institutions and hate our governments.

In the 1980s, most IITians would go abroad. In 1989, when I graduated from IIT Madras, I remember feeling extremely dejected about our country. Punjab, Kashmir and Assam were all burning.

My heart was not in engineering. I was mostly reading books in Economics and Philosophy - we had a good library. The burning question in my mind was "Why are we so poor?"

Some of my classmates and I wrote an article in the IIT campus newspaper in late 1988-early 1989 (there were two newspapers, Focus and Spectator, and I believe we published in Focus, they were reproduced using "cyclostyling" machines - please look them up!).

In my vague recollection, the thrust of the article was that the IIT system was failing to serve the needs of the country and the country itself was facing a profound stagnation (I wish I could get that article now - a copy may be in some dusty basement in IIT). I want to know what I thought and said as a 21 year old in 1989 that I agree with and what I disagree with today.

By 1989, I had become a committed anti-socialist, having lived through the socialist stagnation of India. By 1989, the collapse of the Soviet Union was on, and China was in turmoil - the Tinananmen student protests and their forced suppression.

By 1991, India needed an emergency IMF loan. The 1991 economic reforms by Shri Manmohan Singh happened due to pressure from the IMF. So you can imagine the mood in 1989.

That was the India I left in 1989. I was feeling miserable to leave but hopeless to stay. In 1990, I came home for a visit and thought of dropping out of my PhD and staying home. I was home sick.

I started to study Singapore and Japan during 1990-94 in my PhD years - the "Why are we so poor" question. By 1994, I decided I would be in the private sector and took up an R&D job in Qualcomm.

This is the indosphere. The areas of strong Indian influence in the world. Of course, the Indian subcontinent is very Indian, but look at nations in light orange. In south east asia, the under belly of China, the culture, language, religion, and scripts are still Indian.

Now, China itself is highly influenced by India. Though they will never accept now, much of their religion and cultural practices are shaped by indic religions. Even their language and tonal system has Indian influence.

The Indian influence extends as far as Japan. Where their religions, script, and culture has been influenced by India. But, we will still see Indians with colonized mind comment below, "how does it matter now?"

It matters because it is soft power. It can be revived and the indosphere can be a great ally and partner for India. Instead we are allowing adversaries to poison the people of these nations against India, while we ridicule ourselves.

[Open Letter @openletteryt]

At first glance, when you read a tweet like this, it sounds like some massive state action has begun against transgender people in India. That is exactly the impression it is designed to create. But then you actually search the news report you get a different picture.

The news report talks about Mumbai Crime Branch arresting a Bangladeshi national accused of kidnapping a 17-year-old boy, forcing him into begging, and sexually exploiting him. Police are also reportedly probing possible links to a wider trafficking network and whether other minors were similarly exploited. That is not an arrest for being transgender. That is an arrest over extremely serious criminal allegations involving a minor.

You can oppose discrimination against trans people, defend their rights, and still refuse to turn every criminal case involving a trans person into a fake “the state is targeting us” narrative. Identity is not a shield against scrutiny when the allegation is kidnapping, trafficking, forced begging, and sexual exploitation of a child.

If you have to hide the actual news headline to make your politics work, your politics is built on deception, not truth.
