🚨🚨🚨 SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT: WHY ELON MUSK IS PUTTING THIS MUCH PRESSURE ON INDIA? AND ITS NOT ABOUT MONEY BUT SOMETHING BIGGER.

I don't believe Elon Musk is fighting this aggressively with India's government and publicly targeting Mukesh Ambani simply to sell internet subscriptions.

I suspect there's a much bigger strategic interest behind it.

Possibly influence over India's communication infrastructure, control over connectivity and access to valuable data.

Lets look at more details. 👇 (1/n) 🧵

Key disadvantages of allowing Starlink in India include:

National security risks: Foreign-controlled network limits India's ability to shut off service in sensitive border areas or ensure availability during crises. Past reports of terminals with militants or smugglers raise misuse concerns.

Data sovereignty issues: Laser links could route traffic outside Indian gateways, complicating monitoring and lawful interception.

High costs: Hardware and monthly fees likely far exceed affordable terrestrial options like Jio or Airtel, limiting rural access.

Market impact: Could disrupt local telecoms and foster over-reliance on a single US provider instead of domestic alternatives.

Indians have made a major contribution to America's technological prowess. Yet, a big part of America no longer wants us.

Indians who are on a visa in the US face the painful prospect of uprooting the life you have built with hard work.

Let this be the birth pains of a bold new future.

Come back, let's build India 🙏

@elonmusk BYD cars in 165 countries but not USA due to Tesla.
Is Elon Musk the real of USA?

TikTok, Huawei, Hikvision, Xiaomi are nit allowed in USA. You don’t have anything to say?

Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries but not China. Why not take its name?

For decades, Tamil Nadu was handed one explanation for its failures: The Brahmin. But history is larger. U can debate caste and privilege without erasing a century of scholarship, science, music, literature and spiritual discipline. A thread(1/n)

[Dr Jason Philip. M.S., MCh @Jasonphilip8]

The Brahmin speaker here exhorts the youth to serve our country, & uphold high morals in life. What is wrong in this? 60 yrs of Tamilnadu were destroyed by demonising Tamil Brahmins. Only the current Honourable CM has stopped this dangerous, devious trend.

Bjp in 12 years has harmed GC more than 50 years rule of congress

[VarunReddy2002 @reddy2002_varun]

43% from GCs.
How the headline is framed.
Even the info sought by Cong MP Venugopal just was about SC-ST-OBCs.

It's as if GCs don't even matter,as if their lives are not even worth worrying about.
GC Hindus need to take a hard look at this dehumanisation routine by Cong.

[Ethirajan Srinivasan 🇮🇳🚩 @Ethirajans]

Most of Gem Veeramani's victims are scheduled caste kids from North Chennai and slums.

Looking for statements from Tamil Cinema directors who otherwise are vocal on issues concerning Dalits.

Am I missing something?

[Rahul Raj @x_rahulraj]

It is critical for the Education Minister and PM to take a clear stand on the IIT-B professor case. If electoral reasons prevent them from acting, it will raise serious questions about their intent to improve education system in India.

[Shashank Shekhar Jha @shashank_ssj]

Education Minister of India Dharmendra Pradhan was forced to resign because he couldn’t stop cheating in exams.

IIT Bombay Director Prof Shireesh Kedare is being forced to resign because he enforced strict policy against cheating in exams.

[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

What happened to the kid in IIT Mumbai was tragic. I cannot even imagine what his parents are going thru right now. You don't wish this on anyone. I hope and pray God gives them strength and support.

But having said that

You can't punish a teacher for doing their job. I mean, as a inviligator you are supposed to catch people cheating in exams. That's what they are supposed to do.

But you are now putting one of the most draconian acts in Indian law on someone who was simply doing their job. You are punishing someone for maintaining the sanctity of an exam.

Which is grossly unfair.

Now In all probability the professor will be found not guilty, but in a country where the process is the punishment, the professor has already been punished severely.

His life has already been impacted in a bad way. For just doing his job.

But that's not all.

By punishing the professor you are also setting a dangerous and a ridiculous precedent.

Now no professor will inviligate effectively or catch someone indulging in exam malpractice

Because you never know what might happen if you do.

My worry is that, this whole episode
might have structural effects on the integrity of the examination system not only in IIT Bombay, but the country as a whole.

[Ananthan Ayyasamy @AnanthAyyasamy]

I strongly oppose the charges against Prof. Suryanarayana Doolla of IIT Bombay under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

My background: I belong to the Devendra Kula Vellalar (DKV) community, classified as SC. I grew up in deep rural poverty and witnessed the suffering of my people first-hand. I was educated thanks to broad-minded people from many communities.

I studied Electronics at NIT Tiruchirappalli, worked at C-DOT Bengaluru, and then at Intel in India and the US, where I rose to Engineering Director and Senior Silicon Architect, responsible for high-speed interconnects vital to modern CPUs and GPUs. I hold multiple patents in this field.

I share this to make clear that I know what it means to come from an SC community and rise through hard work and commitment.

Our DKV community has taken a principled, voluntary stand not to file SC/ST cases against anyone. We have seen how cases under this Act are weaponised, and how that deepens enmity on the ground.

On that basis, I oppose the misuse of this Act in this case. The case against Prof. Doolla must be withdrawn. This matters for the future of SC/ST students and for our nation.

Jai Hind 🙏

@AmitShah @Dev_Fadnavis

[Anuradha Tiwari @talk2anuradha]

No minister has come out in support of IIT Bombay professor.

Tells you how much they care about the education system. They can even sell the country for a few votes.

An absolute bunch of shameless people!

A short #Thread of photos that I clicked while flying between #Chennai and #Thiruvananthapuram last friday. There is no better teacher of Geography than a journey.

Fantastic thread!

[Raghava Krishna | రాఘవ కృష్ణ @Anviksiki]

I hope every Hindu sees this short video.

Footage of Sringeri Sannidhanam visiting Banke Bihari in Vrindavan few months ago.

The humility with which such an exalted seer receives the prasada and pays obeisance to the adhikari of that place.

Aucitya.

[INDICIST @Indicfederr0d]

Funny thing is, this airport was dropped by our Hon. CM after protests by fewer than 1,000 people in Ekanapuram. The irony is that he wants to restore the Cooum, Buckingham Canal and Adyar, which could lead to the eviction of at least 45,000+ families. LMAO.
