It is now safely parked and set into Sleep mode.
APXS and LIBS payloads are turned off.
Data from these payloads is transmitted to the Earth via the Lander.
Currently, the battery is fully charged.

Maharana Pratap, who took the entire Sultanate head-on, without making a humiliating friendship with Akbar, believed that the enmity of a formidable M*uslim ruler is necessary for the sanctity of Dharma and Hindu Pad-padshahi !" - V. D. Savarkar (Six Glorious Epochs)

Meet Athira
Her friends told her that it's stupid to worship idols. They gave her books including a book on converted women. She was scared after reading about hell. She listened to speeches of radical preacher Zakir Naik
Athira left home & converted, later returned to Hinduism
In 1920s, Jinnah protested against Rama Navami processions in "Muslim areas" of Lahore and Karachi.
These demands were meekly complied. Hindus "respected" these Muslim areas and did not take religious processions into them.
In 20 years, "Muslim areas" became a theocratic Muslim state that kiIIed and drove away Hindu minorities.
What are we learning from our history? What are we learning from the sacrifices of our ancestors?
If we repeat the same mistakes, the result will be the same.
Not Gandhi. Not Nehru.
Hindu King Krishnaraja Wadiyar was the pioneer of India's development.
He pushed India towards modern development.
The prosperity of Bangalore's software sector and lives of millions today is indebted to his vision.
A thread about the forgotten hero 🧵
If you ever were wondering why such a fuss over Independence Day, just ask these two people. They will explain it better than any lecture can. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳
