When the British entered India, Britain’s GDP was estimated at around $10 billion, while India’s was around $74.3 billion. They arrived as a much smaller economic power and spent centuries ruling and extracting from India.
Between 1875 and 1925, an imperial enterprise systematically slaughtered wildlife for bounties, sport, and forest clearance, killing over 80,000 tigers, 150,000 leopards, 200,000 wolves, 50,000 hyenas, and 2,000 Asiatic lions, along with tens of thousands of elephants and rhinos. The Indian rhinoceros was pushed to fewer than 50 survivors.
Today, India generates roughly $19.1 trillion in GDP at PPP, compared with around $4.7 trillion for the UK.
Protecting our wildlife isn't some extraordinary act of selflessness by a “relatively poor” country. It's simply a country protecting its own natural heritage and fixing the damage left behind by colonial rule.
@MacRumors Mine is a 15 ProMax, 256 GB bought on 14 October 2023. It has 92 % battery Capacity after 334 cycle counts. I had switched on the 80% charging limit and most of the time never allowed it to go below 50% battery before charging it.
A jet plunging 16,000 feet in 30 seconds would feel like a 'very, very vertical roller coaster,' said Alberto Paduanelli, who recreated the flydubai incident in a simulator. Unlike a roller coaster, however, passengers would not expect the drop https://t.co/G3zSvHpFkZ
@johnternus What about the Iphone 18 Promax AT&T network issue? Why did it even happen? Will it later affect the other network carriers also? Who is liable for this? Many questions but no concrete answers from Apple @Apple
The Indian pilot who was allegedly attacked by his co-pilot during a FlyDubai flight to Tel Aviv earlier this week is describing the moment he managed to open the cockpit door, realizing he had "one last fight left in me." https://t.co/jbePWQ14sE
A jihadist terrorist was sitting in the cockpit of an Israel-bound flight.
If he had gotten that door shut, a planeload of people would be dead.
Changes have to be made NOW.
We can’t keep letting these monsters do this.
BREAKING:
Indian pilot and hero, Captain Smit Machchhar, just told Netanyahu exactly how the Omani Islamist terrorist tried to crash a passenger jet bound for Tel Aviv.
He says that the co-pilot wanted to pray and that he looked forward out of respect and in order not to disturb him.
After about four or five minutes he felt a heavy blow to the back of the head, then more blows, and only then realized it was the other person in the cockpit who was attacking him.
He said his vision blurred, he opened the cockpit door once, the co-pilot shut it and he fell, then he felt the aircraft plunge and used a last effort to open the door again so people waiting outside could enter and overpower the co-pilot.
It’s clear from his statements that it was an Islamist terror attack and that the attacker’s goal was to crash the plane.
Western mainstream media outlets, such as the CNN, BBC and Reuters downplayed the attempted mass-murder by calling it “a scuffle” or “a spat” between pilots.
In Israel, the UAE and India, the press quickly realized that Islamism was behind yet another mass-murder attempt.
The Western media elite, and large parts of its political elite, refuse to face reality.
Admitting that Islamism is a deadly threat would undermine their attempts to continue mass-immigration to Europe from North Africa and the Middle East.
During a visit to Captain Smit Machchhar… the flydubai pilot who embodied the highest degrees of courage, responsibility, and care for human life.
From us, and from the leadership of the nation, he has our full appreciation and praise.
We are proud that he is part of our team… part of the story of our nation… and part of what the UAE stands for… a nation of compassion… a nation of peace… and a nation of life.
"We are not people who take lives, we are people who save lives."
Echoing the powerful words of PM @narendramodi. The Embassy of Israel in the UAE salutes Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery. True heroism and the sanctity of life know no borders.
We wish Captain Smit "Refuah Shlemah" (רפואה שלמה) — the traditional Jewish prayer for a complete and speedy recovery. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
How does this woman have a visa? @SecRubio you should take her visa away.
Why do we allow anti-America Muslim sympathizers to have visas?
She should have her visa revoked and be deported.
@RanaAyyub is a foreign agitator.
Smit Machchhar, the hero Flydubai captain who fought off a savage attack by his copilot, kept fighting because he could not "let everybody else die," he said in his first public remarks since Wednesday's suspected hijacking attempt. https://t.co/t6xMiO6RAr
The hosts thought it would be a great idea to get a pilot on to discuss the Flydubai hijacking
Then the interview went sideways HARD!!!
You can always count on Aussies for some straight talking 😂

Captain Smit Machchhar, we salute you! 🇮🇱🇮🇳
I was so honoured to share this special message with the National Convention on Indian Jews & India-Israel Festival organized by the Embassy of India @indemtel in Israel last night:
💪 HERO: Captain Machchhar tells 🇮🇳PM Modi what happened in the FlyDubai 1073 cockpit:
“When I was on the ground, I realized that the aircraft is going down, and I told myself, ‘This is the last push Smit. The door is right there.’
And I was still getting hit, but I opened the door.”
