E 20 WAS STARTED to avoid fuel shock due HORMUZ CHOKE. PPL say it impacts sugar availability as sugar cane used for ethenol. You can import sugar but can't import oil due to war. Hope u understand.
What a brilliant performance by Arnab, @shantanug_ and the entire team! The discussion raised some very important points, especially the argument that people indulging in vulgar acts at Jantar Mantar should not be allowed anywhere near school premises (for self righteous school inspections) and that the possibility of invoking the POCSO Act deserves serious consideration. The bigger question is about the kind of political culture we want to encourage. The AAP’s approach increasingly appears to rely on provocation and spectacle rather than responsibility.
Dangerous emergence of a “Cockroach Janta Party” style of natak politics !
“These concessions [truncating of #VandeMataram under Muslim League pressure] will not save the situation…If we set them forth as concessions they will only become points for further agitations and will make no gain for peace. On the other hand, the concessions may give rise to a weakening of Hindu psychology and produce depression all around.” - C.R Rajagopalachari (1939)
(Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, Vande Mataram: the Biography of a Song, 2013)
Had C.R.been around today the #DimagiNaxals & parasites of the Congress-I would boycott/showcause him on his stand & views! @crkesavan #VandeMataram150
What happens when a modern political misstep meets a century-old civilisational symbol?
👇In my latest piece for @HinduPost, I dive deep into the recent Vande Mataram controversy and why Bankim Chandra’s vision still shakes Indian politics today.
For me, this isn't just about a loose ball in a political cricket match. It is about a deeper awakening—the fusion of Brahma-tej (spiritual wisdom) and Kshatra-tej (the courage to stand against injustice).
🌟🛡️Bankim Chandra didn't just write a song; he transformed our geography into a living Mother. 🇮🇳
We explore:
• Why the Atatayi (aggressor) is defined by actions, not identity 🛑• The two competing visions of Indian secularism ⚖️• The challenge before PM Modi to turn a political slogan into a true philosophy of duty

A Free Hit for the BJP: Sonia Gandhi Misreads the Brahma-Tej of Vande Mataram !
A few seconds of a political moment can sometimes reveal the deeper currents of history.
The debate around the rendition of Vande Mataram has once again brought Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and Anandamath back into national focus.
For millions of Indians, Vande Mataram is not merely a song. It is the union of devotion and duty, of Brahma-Tej and Kshatra-Tej — spiritual elevation and the courage to protect what is sacred.
Bankim’s vision was not of weakness but of a civilisation rooted in wisdom, discipline and strength. The Atatayi in this framework is not defined by religion or identity but by destructive conduct and aggression against the innocent.
The controversy has therefore reopened a larger debate: can India rediscover its civilisational confidence while remaining faithful to its constitutional values?
For critics of Sonia Gandhi, the episode represents a political misreading of the emotional power of a symbol deeply embedded in India’s national memory.
For the BJP, it may become a moment of opportunity — a chance to present itself as the carrier of Bankim’s vision.
Whether this becomes a political turning point or a passing controversy will ultimately be decided by the people of India.
But one truth remains: Bankim’s Vande Mataram continues to awaken something deep in the Indian imagination.

India is currently under a well-orchestrated regime change operation. Coordinated efforts will be made to target and demolish the personal image of PM Modi and his government by framing various manufactured issues related to the common public and youth
Modi will be presented as weak, corrupt, and serving only a few capitalists.
The following methods will be used to target him:
▪️Flash Mobs: People will gather at crowded places and chant against Modi. In reality, they will be CJP members but will be portrayed as angry common citizens. Another team will record these events, and a third team will spread the videos on social media to create the impression of widespread public anger against Modi.
▪️Fake Videos: Fake AI-generated videos or unrelated videos with misleading captions targeting Modi and his govt will be circulated on social media.
▪️Stand-up Comedy: Vulgar and satirical jokes targeting Modi will be created and widely shared on social media.
▪️Music: A large number of anti-government and resistance songs will be composed and promoted.
Social media algorithms have been tweaked to promote anti-Modi content and suppress pro-Modi content. Indian print media and Global mainstream media will also part of this operation
The overall objective is to artificially manufacture public anger against Modi and defeat him in the 2029 elections or force him to quit prior to that
Was delighted to connect once again with Malabika Bhattacharya. She presented me a copy of the history of Vande Mataram by her late husband Sabyasachi Bhattacharya (Bappa). He was one of the finest historians of our day.
Thank you to the Hon. President of India for mentioning in her address to the nation on the eve of our 80th Independence Day, “12 forts built to safeguard national pride, associated with the Maratha military tradition, have been included in the #UNESCO World Heritage List last year. And, this year, Sarnath, the site of Bhagwan Buddha’s first sermon, has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.” Her words inspire us to work even harder to preserving and conserving India’s cultural heritage. Immediately after inscription, inspite of hurdles visited Maharashtra and Sarnath (UP) to interact with local officials.
Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
