A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.
And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.
New WhatsApp CEO Kunal Shah recently said Indian languages don’t have a word for “efficiency” & “productivity” because Indians don’t value time
I really liked how @MisraNityanand calls out this unfortunate & factually incorrect statement
🚨SHOCKING | A young child is seen repeatedly assaulting another child for almost 10 minutes while no caretaker intervenes.
The incident, reportedly from FirstCry Intellitots in Maharashtra, has sparked serious concerns over child safety in schools.
Why the long rope to them in Uttarakhand?
They are creating nuisance in Public Places
Being a Nihang does not give them the right to take law and order in their hands!
🚨 Ethnic Bias or Corporate Jihad in MNC? LyondellBasell’s Purge of Hindu Employees Exposed⁉️
In a shocking revelation, global chemical giant LyondellBasell (headquartered in Houston, with major India ops in Mumbai) stands accused of systematically removing every Indian Hindu professional from its Enterprise Architecture division in Mumbai.
What started as a quiet leadership shuffle in late August 2025 turned into a targeted purge within days.
A respected Senior Director known for merit-based, inclusive leadership was abruptly dismissed without explanation.
The very same day, Razi Dakhan, a Pakistani Muslim with public social media showing strong alignment to Pakistani and Muslim causes, took over.
In the next 10 days, all Indian Hindu employees across levels and tenures were let go. Not based on performance, not random purely on identity.
Sources alleged two-tier system under Dakhan’s superior, Kayoor Gajarawala: leniency for Pakistani nationals & Indian Muslims, harsh treatment for Hindus.
This wasn’t isolated.
Predecessor Nasir Zaidi allegedly built a network hiring almost exclusively Pakistanis & Indian Muslims, bypassing qualified Hindus.
That network remains embedded. Official reason? “Cost optimisation.” But it crumbles under scrutiny Indian tech talent is among the cheapest globally.
Why axe the most cost-effective team instead of higher-paid Western roles? Employees hired for upcoming projects, some just post-probation, were discarded overnight. Lives upended, careers ruined, families in distress. “Nobody felt safe,”
This raises alarming questions on religious discrimination in MNCs operating in Bharat. Is this “woke” DEI gone rogue, imported bias, or something deeper preferentialism that sidelines merit and Hindu professionals?
LyondellBasell must answer:
Why no due diligence on leaders with overt ideological leanings? Why ignore patterns of exclusion?
In “New Bharat,” we cannot tolerate such targeted marginalisation. Indian talent drives global innovation discrimination against Hindus while favouring others is unacceptable.
Time for investigation by authorities, HR watchdogs, and the company’s global leadership. Merit must prevail over religious networks.
Hindus deserve equal opportunity, not selective purges.
Share if you stand for justice!

Do you know Slavery System still exist in China 🇨🇳?
Although abolished in 1949 on paper, but people belonging to higher hierarchy still own people of lower status.
A video on Chinese Social Media is getting viral in which Owner caning a slave woman by the roadside in broad day light.

As an Indian woman from Muslim heritage, I write this rebuttal with the clarity and directness that comes from living the reality @Ilhan only tweets about from afar. Ilhan Omar’s claim that India has reached the “eighth stage of genocide” against Muslims is not analysis. It is reckless, fact-free propaganda that insults every one of us who actually live here, work here, raise families here, and exercise our rights every single day.
If there were even the beginning of genocide, our population would not have exploded. In 1951, Muslims were about 9.8% of India. By 2011, we were 14.2%. Today we are estimated around 14.5–15%, heading toward 18% by 2050 according to Pew projections. From roughly 35 million in 1951 to over 200 million now. Absolute numbers have multiplied nearly six-fold while the country’s overall population grew far slower in percentage terms. Genocide does not produce the world’s largest Muslim-minority population that keeps growing faster than the national average for decades. It produces mass graves and fleeing refugees. We have neither.
We vote in every election in the world’s largest democracy. We contest seats, win them, become MPs, ministers, judges, IAS officers, doctors, engineers, and business leaders. Three Presidents of India have been Muslim. We serve in the armed forces and police. We own businesses, run hospitals, produce films, and dominate segments of entertainment and sports. This is not the signature of a community facing extermination.
We are thriving and prospering — with real data and real lives. Yes, like every large community, we have internal challenges — lower average literacy and educational enrollment in some metrics, pockets of poverty, and the need for better skilling. But the narrative of uniform victimhood is a lie told by people who have never walked through a Muslim-dominated area in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, or Kerala and seen the middle class, the professionals, the entrepreneurs, and the young women studying medicine and engineering.
Prominent Indian Muslims — from business (Wipro’s Azim Premji built one of India’s largest companies), to cinema (generations of stars and directors), to sports, academia, and medicine — show what is possible when talent meets opportunity in a free society. Millions of ordinary Muslim families have moved from villages to cities, from informal work to formal jobs, from one generation of limited schooling to the next pursuing professional degrees. That is prosperity in motion, not persecution.
We enjoy specific rights and accommodations that Hindus as a group do not. This is the part Omar and her echo chamber never mention. Indian Muslims operate under a parallel personal law system for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and maintenance rooted in Sharia. Hindus do not.
After independence, Hindu personal law was comprehensively reformed and codified into a uniform framework (Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, etc.). Muslims retained the right to follow their own religious laws — including provisions for polygamy (up to four wives) and differential inheritance rules that the Hindu majority surrendered decades ago.
We also have constitutional minority protections under Articles 29 and 30 that allow us to establish and administer our own educational institutions with significant autonomy — rights the Hindu majority does not claim as a group because it is not classified as a minority. The Waqf Act gives Muslim institutions unique control over vast religious and charitable properties in a manner unparalleled for any other community.
In short: the Indian state has gone out of its way, through personal laws and minority safeguards, to preserve and accommodate Muslim religious and cultural identity in ways it has not extended equivalently to the Hindu majority. These are not “equal rights” in every narrow sense — they are deliberate accommodations that give us more space to live according to our traditions than the majority community receives under the same Constitution.
As a woman from Muslim heritage in India, I have the full protection of the Indian Constitution plus the framework of personal law. The criminalization of instant triple talaq in 2019 removed a specific vulnerability that existed under uncodified practice. I can study, work, vote, travel, criticize the government, wear what I choose (or not), and practice my faith openly — all while living in a country where my community’s population share has steadily risen for 75 years.
@Ilhan Omar’s “eighth stage of genocide” rhetoric is not solidarity. It is the lazy export of American culture-war talking points onto a country and a people she does not understand. It erases the agency of 200+ million Indian Muslims who are neither cowering nor waiting for rescue from Washington. It cheapens the word “genocide” while real atrocities happen elsewhere.
Stop peddling foreign fantasies about our lives. We are here. We are visible. We are voting. We are building. And we reject your narrative with the facts of our own existence. That is the view from inside — not from a podium in the United States.

@NewsAlgebraIND They are not inside temple but out on rough rocky surface. You expect them to injure themselves to prove a point to these zealous locals ?
Happy to have played out a crazy fighting game against Magnus.
Fortunate to have come out on top.
Looking forward to play more fighting games!

I want to share my experience with emergency helpline 112 when my mother suddenly went unconscious at home.
It was 10th May, around 8:30 PM. A person who was talking normally just moments before suddenly started vomiting blood and became completely unresponsive.
I was in shock, panicking, completely clueless about what to do next. I immediately called 112 for an ambulance.
The first few calls didn’t even connect properly. Some ended without a ring.
When one call finally got picked up, I was asked for my location, the patient’s condition, and other details.
In panic, I explained whatever I could.
Then I received another call asking for the address again.
Then another call saying a doctor wanted to understand the patient’s condition before sending help.
At that moment, every second mattered.
Instead of immediate emergency response, 10–15 minutes were spent on repeated calls and questioning.
I kept saying the same thing again and again “Please send the ambulance immediately, this is an emergency, we need to reach the hospital right now.”
While writing this, I genuinely have tears in my eyes because I remember how helpless I felt at that moment.
Eventually, with the help of family members, we somehow managed to take my mother in a personal car.
Through traffic, red lights, and panic, we rushed to the hospital ourselves.
The hospital declared her dead.
What is the point of an emergency helpline if, during the most critical moments of someone’s life, the system cannot act with urgency?
And the most painful part?
The very next day, after the funeral, I received a call from the same 112 asking me about my “experience” with the helpline.
Today, @DrSJaishankar and I signed a bilateral Critical Minerals Framework, marking a milestone in the strategic partnership between the U.S. and India.
This sets us on a path toward reliable & resilient mineral supply chains, reinforcing key objectives established by @POTUS.
@LauraLoomer@TulsiGabbard Jesus in Hindu view is another realized being in a list of several others who have graced Earth with their divine presence.
There is no exclusivity of divinity to him.
There are but many paths to the one ultimate truth. Hard to grasp but that is the Hindu / Upanishadic view
Romila Thapar’s false claim for 30+ years
For more than thirty years, eminent historian Romila Thapar has claimed that Patañjali compared the relationship or conflict between the Brahmanas and the Shramanas to that between the snake and the mongoose.
The claim is completely false. Watch to know more.
