She writes for Newslaundry and every article targets the same government and all the Kashmir pieces mirror Pakistan's narrative. Interestingly, every fact check reveals the same omissions. 🧵

A superb chapter from Cambridge Histories Online of the very complicated development of agriculture in the subcontinent, which is really the story of four different developments, in the northwest (including the Indus valley), north (the Gangetic plains), south and east, each with different timelines, crops and animal husbandry to account for. There are still gaps in the evidence, and much to be learned in the future, but the authors draw out a comprehensive, summary portrait: ". . . the Neolithic in South Asia, as elsewhere, was an era of change in which food production tended to replace foraging, sedentism [living in one place for a long time] increased over mobility, and population density tended to increase. The Neolithic period, and how it is defined chronologically, varies by region in South Asia, beginning by c. 7000 BCE in some areas, or by 3500–2500 BCE in others. By the end of the Neolithic, sedentism was present in many parts of the subcontinent, pottery production was nearly universal, and some textile production and metallurgy had been established. This period continued in many areas up to c. 1000 BCE, with the direct transition to what was in effect an Iron Age. A distinct Bronze Age is only recognized in the Indus valley region and is associated with the rise and decline of the urban Indus civilization. It has also been suggested that it was during the Neolithic that much of the basic linguistic geography of the subcontinent is likely to have been established, including the regional distributions of Dravidian, Munda, and Indo-Aryan language families" (p. 262-3).

In 2012, a 19-year-old aeronautical engineering student from Coimbatore presented propulsion research at a NASA event. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam noticed, sought him out for a meeting, and handed him a recommendation letter with one challenge: prove your concept.

That student was Rohan M. Ganapathy. Three years later, he and family friend Yashas Karanam co-founded Bellatrix Aerospace from IISc's incubation lab in Bengaluru. The problem they chose to solve touches every satellite in orbit.

Nearly all satellites run on hydrazine, a propellant that has been standard since the 1960s. It is deeply toxic, carcinogenic, and so hazardous that it requires specialized crews and loading facilities near the launch site. India imports all of it. Nobody was building an alternative.

Bellatrix built two. Rudra is India's first high-performance green propulsion system, delivering hydrazine-equivalent thrust while cutting handling costs by over 60%.

Jal is a microwave plasma thruster that uses water as propellant, which Bellatrix claims is the world's first such system built by a private company. Both have been tested in orbit: Rudra fired on ISRO's POEM-3 in January 2024, and again on POEM-4 in January 2025.

Their third product, Pushpak, is an orbital transfer vehicle the company says can bring satellite deployment costs from $45,000 to $25,000 per kilogram. In October 2024, Bellatrix signed an MoU with ISRO's commercial arm, NewSpace India Limited, to integrate Pushpak into its launch missions. The company has raised $31 million to date, backed by BASF Venture Capital, Inflexor Ventures, and Cactus Partners.

For India, a domestic green propulsion stack means less dependence on imported hydrazine, lower costs for Indian satellite startups, and export-ready technology in a global market actively moving away from toxic fuels.

Kalam asked Rohan to prove his concept. More than a decade later, the proof has been fired in orbit.

Rakhigarhi's scale confirms what the maritime record already shows: this was never a landlocked civilisation. Lothal's dock held 30 ships at once. Dholavira and Kalibangan were working ports. Beads from Gujarat reached Queen Puabi's tomb in Ur around 2450 BC. The largest Bronze Age civilisation on earth ran on trade.

Media reports that the supreme sacrifice of six bravehearts during #OperationSindoor have been acknowledged or brought to public notice for the first time only recently are incorrect. The nation paid homage to these fallen heroes at the earliest opportunity, well before the reports in question. During the official press conference held on May 11, 2025, then Director General of Military Operations paid solemn tribute to these brave soldiers and specifically acknowledged their sacrifice in the line of duty during Operation Sindoor.

These bravehearts were conferred with gallantry awards and this was published in the press release of August 14, 2025. This constituted a formal and national recognition of their valour and supreme sacrifice in keeping with the highest traditions of the Indian Defence Forces.

Simultaneously, the Indian Army’s official social media platforms carried tributes to these bravehearts without delay. The nation’s recognition of these heroes has continued thereafter.

Everyone is still asking if India can build its own AI.

@sarvamai stopped asking and shipped it.

Raised $234M building India-first LLMs. 10 million API calls a day. Half a million hours of audio transcribed a month. In languages no global model bothered to learn.

Built from India. Built for the world.

Here's their story:

अनिल मिश्रा, न्यासी, हटाए गए।
टिन्नू समेत आठ लोग गिरफ्तार।
मुख्यमंत्री ने जब 15 दिन के समय सीमा की बात की तब यह कोई नाटक नहीं था। यह कोई चुनावी बयानबाजी नहीं थी। मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ अपनी बात पर कायम रहते हैं। और योगी जी जो बोलते हैं वो करते हैं।

Indian students are DIYing a semiconductor fab at IIT Bombay.

In just 10 months they've built:

1. A DLP-based lithography machine.
2. A tube furnace to oxidise silicon.
3. A DC plasma sputter.

Total cost: ₹30 lakh.

Here's a rare behind-the-scenes look at HackerFab IITB.

With rape cases provoked by porn happening almost on a daily basis , it has become incumbent on followers of Guru Golwalkar, 2nd RSS Sarsanghchalak & father of Bharat’s cultural nationalism, to enact a law to stop p0rnography in Bharat by punishing purveyors of evil content.

In the latest, a taxi driver kidnapped a 10 yr sleeping girl from footpath in Delhi & raped her before killing her. In another case a 12 yr boy raped his 9 month niece - both cases undoubtedly provoked by p0rn easily available on phones.

Officially, scores of such cases are happening on a daily basis , particularly in slums. But against this there are hundreds & hundreds of such cases which go unreported. The situation is grim but few are talking or doing anything about.

Many say that stopping porn is an impossible task. Our @scsb_f , which is spearheading the fight against evil content, believes that nothing is impossible in a country that has produced heroes like Ch. Shivaji & Maharana Pratap & spiritual figures like Swami Vivekanand, Shri Aurobindo, my guru Swami Pranvanand & Trailanga Swami, a matchless saint who lived life for 280 years before leaving the world in 1887.

Ramkrishna Paramhansa called Trailanga Swami a living ‘ Lord Shankar’ when he came from Kolkatta to see the Swami in Varanasi in 1868.

What is startling is the present day nationalists frequently invoke RSS icons like RSS founder Dr Hedgewar, Guru Golwalkar & Veer Savarkar but are failing to address an issue that is the biggest threat to cultural nationalism.

Below is my appeal to the nation on this burning issue:

Marking his 64th birthday, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, today launched Vande Bharatam, a national initiative to identify and support innovators, entrepreneurs and problem-solvers from across India.

The programme will reach all 36 States and Union Territories, more than 800 districts and multiple Indian languages. Open to participants of all ages and backgrounds, it aims to bring promising ideas and entrepreneurial talent from beyond India's traditional start-up centres onto a national platform.
