"There is an enormous treasury in Indian thought. Only now are we mining it and discovering its endless depth. It requires a certain amount of confidence; we don't have to wait for an external stamp."
Swami Sarvapriyananda ji on the relevance of Indian logical/philosophical traditions in the age of AI.
In the same discussion, he also mentions an observation of mine connecting Anvitābhidhānavāda with the Attention Mechanism in modern neural networks, calling it "an interesting insight"
A wonderful example of the conversations that emerge when classical Indian thought engages with contemporary ideas.
आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वतः।
IMPORTANT: World Bank Poverty and Equity Report October 2026: India has recorded one of the fastest poverty reductions in the world between 2011 and 2023, lifting an estimated 496 million people out of poverty.
Extreme Poverty ($3.00/day, 2021 PPP): The share of the population living in extreme poverty dropped sharply from 27.1% to 2.6%.
This is what transformation looks like.
Indian J&K: Soaring bridges, premier institutes, growing cities.
#POK: Poverty, neglect, and abandoned dreams.
Kashmir chose the right side in 1947— and it shows every day.

From India to Canada to the Middle East to Europe, countries no longer know whether they can trust America.
The consequences could be disastrous.
My take:
@elonmusk Trump refused to be drawn on a report that he had called Musk to ask him to lift restrictions to the service, but when asked about it he said: "Bottom line, he put it back."

Shashi Tharoor is speaking to Barkha Dutt but giving belt treatment directly to Rahul Gandhi 🤣🤣
He says SIR was needed to remove duplicate, relocated & dead voters
Few of the genuine voters removed got help from political parties & got reinstated
He also reminded of 4 other SIRs of 20th century under Congress
Even Congress leaders know that Vote Chori drama is just a ploy by Rahul Gandhi to shift blame of his losses 😹
SHOCKING REVELATION ‼️
Rahul Gandhi caught on camera admitting that his ultimate aim is to remove PM Narendra Modi and HM Amit Shah.
The names of the protests may differ, with different disguises and narratives—student protests one day, protests against Gyanesh Kumar the next—but the ultimate goal remains REGIME CHANGE.
Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.

🇵🇰 Pakistan-administered Kashmir is boiling over again, with crowds packing the streets of Rawalakot yesterday despite heavy tear gas.
Locals reported gunfire in several parts of the city, though no one has been reported killed so far.
The protests are led by the Joint Awami Action Committee, a rights movement banned under anti-terror rules in June, which called a region-wide shutdown on October 4 over electricity prices, subsidies and 12 assembly seats reserved for refugees.
Organizers say dozens have been killed since the unrest began in June, while officials dispute those numbers and blame armed elements for the violence.
Banning the movement was supposed to end the protests, and 4 months later the streets are still full.
