@mahektetweet@_namespace People will stop watxhing high scoring games as well pretty soon,the viewer fatigue can already be seen. No harm trying some of those suggestions.
@saliltripathi The land of Vivekanand and Ramkrishna Pramahans , Tagore and Bose and S P Mukherjee has returned back to its original roots...
Bravo Bengalis for throwing out the Lefts first and then Mamta
@himganj153 Tulsidas began writing his masterpiece, the Ramcharitmanas, in 1574 CE (Vikram Samvat 1631) and completed it over two years, seven months, and 26 days, finishing around 1576–1577 CE.
all the indian simps who dumped on the parliamentary model in favour of a 'presidential' system are finding out in 4k res what happens when the wrong guy gets too much exec power 😅
none of the 4 top democrats (2 ex potus, 1 ex secy of state) have raised their voice either
The West poured $50 billion into fast breeder nuclear reactors and abandoned every single one. India poured $900 million and just achieved criticality on the first commercially viable one outside Russia.
The US spent $15 billion. Gave up. Japan spent $12 billion. Their Monju prototype had one sodium fire in 1995 and never recovered. The UK spent $8 billion. Germany spent $6 billion. France, Italy, all walked away. Six of the richest nations on Earth concluded this technology was too hard and too expensive to pursue.
India started building in 2004 with an initial budget of $420 million. Twenty-two years, a dozen missed deadlines, and a cost doubling later, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam just sustained a controlled fission chain reaction. The reactor is now alive.
The reason India never quit is a constraint most people have never thought about. India has only 1-2% of the world's uranium reserves. For a country of 1.4 billion people trying to build energy independence, that's a death sentence if you're running conventional nuclear.
But India has 25% of the world's thorium. The single largest national reserve on Earth.
The problem: you can't just burn thorium the way you burn uranium. A physicist named Homi Bhabha designed a three-stage nuclear program in the 1950s specifically to solve this. Stage 1: burn natural uranium in heavy water reactors, collect plutonium as a byproduct. Stage 2: feed that plutonium into fast breeder reactors, where it breeds MORE plutonium AND converts thorium into fissile uranium-233. Stage 3: burn thorium directly at scale.
India just entered Stage 2. Seventy years after Bhabha drew it up on paper.
The math on the thorium endgame is wild. At current energy consumption rates, India's thorium reserves could power the country for over 700 years. Most nuclear nations are playing a uranium game with maybe 80-100 years of runway. India is playing a completely different game with a 7x longer fuel supply.
The West quit because uranium stayed cheap and sodium coolant is terrifying. It catches fire on contact with air. It explodes on contact with water. Russia's BN-600 had 27 sodium leaks and 14 sodium fires between 1980 and 1997. And Russia kept going anyway because Russia doesn't quit nuclear projects. India watched all of that and kept going too.
When you have 1% of the uranium but 25% of the thorium, the engineering difficulty stops being a reason to quit. It becomes the price of admission to a 700-year energy supply that nobody else can access.
The Indians who left India back l between 70s to 90s … think that India is stuck in the same place as they left it. They have kids outside of India and their kids also grow up thinking that.
And it’s very evident when they talk about India. They don’t realise how stupid it comes across to people actually living in India rn.
@GauravSabnis1@AbhishBanerj@gauravsabnis is chomu of first order...blinded by hate, doesnt kniw real india, all he has done in life is faulty predictions and cheap analysis. Bigot of the first order.
@saliltripathi Why dont you create your own amazon, own wapo ...you guys are used to live on crumbs thrown to you by capitalists and then one day you decide to avenge the same capitalists when he stops giving you crumbs to survive !!! Beggers you leftist scums are...
@WaterBaker Apologies...i just was pkaying around with AI and first thing insaw was yournimage, so thought let me try what different AI tools do with it...chatgpt, gemini and meta ai all gave different output.
Outstanding press briefing by the Indian armed forces. Detailed, supported by imagery & full Q&A. Unlike the histrionic rubbish by ISPR.
Super impressed. Should be a standard template going forward. 🇮🇳
