This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.
First thoughts:
1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.
2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.
We must keep these two ideas in mind.
What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?
We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100+ billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.
Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.
Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

All the Gandhis of Congress party for generations are not just North Indians but from the same family, you don't have a problem with that Sir?
Indian groups going abroad for vacations should undergo a week-long civic sense course before being allowed to travel.
Nearly every tourist-friendly destination has developed hostility towards all Indians because of the uncouth and loutish behaviour of many of them.
#WATCH | Kolkata, West Bengal: BJP leader Swapan Dasgupta says, "There are few challenges which are immediate. There are many long-term challenges, but the immediate challenge is to crack down hard on criminals and restore the law and order situation in the state, which includes putting an end to this entire syndicate. Completing the incomplete central projects which are there. Creating an environment so that the image of the state, which was so badly damaged, is repaired and people can invest safely."
“If India bows to domestic PR campaigns and leaves its easternmost flank demilitarized and underdeveloped, we are effectively handing over the Indian Ocean to adversarial naval powers”.
Read this timely thread explaining the several imperatives of developing Nicobar Island as a strategic maritime hub for India. The naysayers should not be allowed to block this game changing project!
A new chapter in India’s energy journey begins.
With OALP Round-XI now live, we unlock vast frontiers beneath our land and seas—powering growth, resilience, and self-reliance.
Round-X (~25 blocks; ~182,589 sq km) and Round-XI (~80,228 sq km) are now on offer - together unlocking ~262,817 sq km for exploration.
This is a decisive step aligned with the vision of Hon'ble Prime Minister Sh @narendramodi Ji under #SamudraManthan: fast-tracking bidding, expanding acreage, and strengthening India’s energy security.
The quest to discover India’s hidden energy wealth continues. 🇮🇳

Liar and manipulator
The case that Supreme Court heard was about a pastor illegally converting Hindus to Christianity while feigning Hindu identity on papers so he can use SC atrocity act against anyone who tries to stop his conversion propaganda
The only story to be done here is how blatantly the constitutional provision under Article 341 is violated all across India to convert Hindus
While Pakistani in India are seething, some real Pakistanis are simping over the film.
> Accepts LeT does terrorism
> Supports jihad against IA in Kashmir 🤦
> Accepts Pakistan used to make anti-Hindu movie and Dhurandhar is not against Islam
This is the potency of good cinema
People keep complaining about @IndiGo6E ground handling so here’s my experience today at Khajuraho airport.
Three check in counters open & manned but two refuse to accept passengers. Every one is directed to one counter manned by a trainee.
As I am checking in I ask the counter supervisor why the other counters won’t accept passengers.
“They are only for fast forward.”
Me: I thought there was no fast forward any longer!
“It’s not on the site but we do have it”
Me: What do you get in fast forward?
“You get priority baggage handling and priority boarding.”
Me: If I had known I would have taken it.
“You can still take it.”
I hand over my credit card. He swipes it. As the luggage is being tagged I notice there is. no Fast Forward tag and ask about it.
“ We stopped doing priority baggage handling for Fast Forward. It only gives you priority check in. “
But I had already checked in. I wouldn’t have taken it if you
hadn’t told me about priority baggage handling .
“I never said priority baggage handling.”
Yes you did . I heard you.
“Okay at least you can
board any time you like.”
I ask for the manager. The supervisor insists he never said anything about baggage handling.
Manager: “I will not accept that my staff are lying.”
But you think I am lying?
He shrugs.
The sum of money is small &
the issue is minor. But given how much we have heard about the culture of lying in @indigo , firing one gora scapegoat may not be enough.
The rot has infected the culture
DHURANDHAR is not a film , it is a QUANTUM LEAP in INDIAN CINEMA
I believe that @AdityaDharFilms has completely and single handedly changed the future of Indian cinema , be it north or south ..That’s because Duradhar is not just a film.. it is a quantum leap
What Dhurandhar achieves is not just scale, but a never before experienced vision not just in sight but in the mind . Aditya Dhar doesn’t direct scenes here… he engineers the states of minds of both the characters and us audience
The film doesn’t ask for your attention.. it commands it. From the very first shot , there’s a sense that something irreversible has been set in motion, and the audience is no longer a spectator but an accomplice to the happenings on screen
This is a film that refuses to be polite. The writing cuts with intent, the staging breathes menace, and the silences are as weaponized as the thunderous sound effects . Dhar understands that power in storytelling is not volume… it’s pressure building . Every sequence feels compressed, like a spring being wound never knowing when it will snap . And when it does, the impact is not just brutal but it is also symphonically operatic
The Performances in the film aren’t designed to be liked but they’re designed to linger long after we leave the theatre .. Characters walk in carrying history on their shoulders, and the film trusts the audience enough to read their scars rather than spoon feed their backstories. This confidence which could be easily mistaken for arrogance is precisely what marks Dhurandhar as a turning point for Indian cinema . Dhar assumes that the audience are intelligent which is the highest respect a director can pay to an audience , whereas most film makers believe in dumbing down their films
Technically, the film redraws the grammar of mainstream Indian cinema. The sound design doesn’t decorate scenes, it stalks them. The camera doesn’t observe but it circles it like a predator. Action here isn’t choreography for applause.. it’s perspectively justified and extremely ugly , the way real violence should feel.
But beyond craft, what truly elevates Dhurandhar is its intent. This is not a film chasing trends or validation. It is a solemn declaration, that Indian cinema doesn’t need to dilute itself to become successful and doesn’t need to mindlessly copy Hollywood. Dhar proved that it can be rooted and still be internationally cinematic.
When the final credits roll, you don’t feel just entertained, you feel altered. And that’s the mark of a filmmaker who isn’t just making movies, but he is reshaping the very ground that all us film makers stand on.
