Proto-Elamite?
The Pashupati seal has an elephant, a water buffalo and a rhinoceros. Ancient Elam was centred in southwestern Iran. Elephants, water buffalos and rhinoceroses are not native to ancient Elam. BTW, they are native to India. Also, the figure is seated in a Yogic posture. Is Yoga also Elamite now? Seriously?
Your profile says you are a professor. I don't mean to sound rude, but your students deserve a refund. And seriously, Western universities need to improve their hiring practices.
@ShivrattanDhil1@gautam_adani@TheVijayMallya Do you understand how the record breaking 100 m sprint by Gurindervir Singh was possible after support from @reliancejio Punjab doesnt have enuff facilities. Longer we are stuck in communist mentality trap harder it will take to elevate.
@indumathi37 It is Pantheism not Polytheism. Creater is not separate from creation and divine permeates everything and anything in the cosmos. God is in the matter as well as the process.
@ShivAroor I remember when the HAL Tejas crashed in Dubai on 21 November 2025 and how the media outrage focused on the pilot’s incompetence and the aircraft’s technology. Well, I don’t see any such news now.
The man on Jinnah’s right hand side is his right hand man, Nawab Mohammad Ismail Khan.
A Cambridge grad with aristocratic descent, Khan started off with Congress but quickly segued into separatist politics with Jinnah’s Muslim League.
Man was not a mere member, but a veritable high-priest of Islamic politics second only to Jinnah in influence and authority. When Jinnah temporarily relocated to London in the early 1930s to attend the Round Table Conferences, Ismail Khan essentially took over the sole leadership of the Muslim League in India.
Was also instrumental in reorganizing the League in 1930s and was a key backer of the 1940 Lahore Resolution, where the demand for Pakistan was formally announced.
Died at the age of 73 in 1958 and today lies buried in Delhi, not far from the shrine of Nizamuddin Auliya. Wait a minute...Delhi?
Why Delhi?
Because he died in Meerut.
That’s right, Nawab Mohammad Ismail Khan, one of the founding signatories of the Pakistan Resolution and Jinnah’s closest confidantes...
Never moved to Pakistan. His three sons did. But he didn’t. Despite several invites with incentives of ministerial positions. Why?
He wasn’t alone. TWENTY-SEVEN other champions of the Pakistan Movement not only refused to migrate to the country they armtwisted into creation at the cost of 2 million lives, but even went on to influence our Constitution as members of the Constituent Assembly.
Some call it patriotism, others call it conquest. I lean in favor of the latter, your mileage may vary.
#WATCH | The team of the Indian Army’s 418 Independent Field Company (9 Mountain Brigade), along with sevadars of the Shri Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara Management Trust, successfully reached the Shri Hemkund Sahib Gurudwara complex today, achieving their objective. After offering prayers (Ardas), the team opened the gates of the Gurudwara complex, allowing them to stay and continue their work on-site. Earlier, they had to return to Ghangaria every evening, but they will now remain stationed at Hemkund Sahib to carry on with their duties.
The sacred portals of Shri Hemkund Sahib are scheduled to open on Saturday, May 23, 2026. The first batch of pilgrims will depart from Rishikesh on May 20, 2026.

@san_x_m Your half-truths are more dangerous than outright lies & I will not let them stand unchallenged.
I served under Vishnu Bhagwat when he was Chief of Staff in Mumbai. Am aware how he connived with Admiral Ramdas to file a fabricated legal case against Admiral S. Jain, a decorated officer, simply to engineer his own promotion to Vice Admiral. This was not ambition. This was betrayal of the uniform.
And Admiral Ramdas? A warship sank under his command in peaceful times. Fourteen officers & countless sailors perished. In any navy that holds itself to account, that ends a career. Instead, Ramdas was handed the top job, Navy Chief. Why? Because when Rajiv Gandhi, then PM, routinely commandeered warships, submarines, aircraft carriers, fighter jets & helicopters for private family holidays to Bangaram Island with his Italian in-laws, Ramdas bent over backwards to oblige. He made himself useful. He made himself untouchable.
Ramdas then returned the favour. Vishnu Bhagwat was elevated to Chief of Naval Staff. What followed was a masterclass in institutional sabotage. Open defiance of government orders, deliberate insubordination, & a naked contempt for civilian authority that left the Navy’s chain of command in tatters.
Bhagwat’s sacking was not a tragedy. It was overdue.
If that were not enough, Bhagwat then published a vindictive book attacking the Navy, timed, with breathtaking arrogance, to coincide with the International Fleet Review presided over by the President of India.
Let history record this plainly: Ramdas & Vishnu Bhagwat did not serve the Indian Navy. They used it, damaged it & when it no longer served their ambitions, they turned on it. The institution deserved far better than both of them.
@India_Policy You conveniently forgot that roots of BJP's CAA come for Nehru Liyaqat pact on minorities which was uninforceable ab initio...India more than adhered to its part but muslim majority pakistan never cared about its minorities. Tell me how situation is different in Bangladesh?
@peyushbansal Now that it has come to your attention, who have you Fired?
We don't want your empty assurances & apology, we want accountability.
Give us the names of people responsible and the ones you FIRED!
@ShefVaidya I was the manager of a flagship store in Pune. At Lenskart, third-party audits are conducted to check grooming standards. In October 2024, my store lost points specifically because we were wearing *kalwas* (sacred threads); the audit was conducted by a person named Ayush Verma.
سلام دوستان ایرانی، آیا میدانید دانشمند هستهای که پایه و اساس انرژی هستهای مدرن هند را بنا نهاد چه کسی بود؟ هومی جهانگیر بابا، اجداد او از پارسیان بودند. او در یک خانواده ثروتمند پارسی در بمبئی هند متولد شد.
Build your nuclear reactors.
Build your Jet engines.
Build your Drones.

Diplomacy without leverage at the end of the day boils down to Dalaali.
