...a True Wise Person doesn't lament the loss of living beings, Krishna is preventing Arjun from going on that slippery slope where senses and emotions take control of the consciousness.

[William Seaborn @will_seaborn]

It’s actually a pretty flawed comparison when you look at how the two sides actually operate. Hindu groups like Iskcon in the West mostly focus on sharing philosophy, yoga, and meditation. They stick to their temples, and any Westerners who get involved do so completely out of their own interest because no one is chasing them down or pressuring them to convert. On the flip side, a lot of foreign Christian missionary groups going into India actively target poor or tribal areas with highly aggressive tactics. They often tie material aid, like free healthcare or schooling, to religious conversion, which basically leverages people's poverty. Hindu groups in the West just don't do that. They aren't handing out financial perks or incentives to get people to switch faiths. One is voluntary philosophical sharing, and the other is predatory.

First Chanakya Convergence Forum, an insightful evening on India’s Space Sector

India’s space sector is entering a new phase. The question is who will build what comes next? That was the central question at the first Chanakya Convergence Forum, the Space Edition, held at Accel LaunchPad.

In our home it is an unbroken tradition to make Ganapathi at home. This happened in every home in villages from where we come. I am making it since I was 8. That is how we learnt art sculpting music. In all village home they make Ganapathis even today. Happy Ganesh chaturthi

You cannot remotely imagine how extraordinary this is.
Maintaining a 6:00 min/km pace for 122 km at an altitude ranging from 12,000 to 17,000 feet is simply out of this world. It means running for 12 hours and 12 minutes at an average speed of nearly 10 km/h. 99.9% of people wouldn’t even be able to run a sub 1 hour 10K on a flat track at sea level. Mindfukinblowing 🤯

Peenya has worst roads in entire India. Peenya-Rajajinagar stretch has craters on Roads, if you want your children to get a feel of how craters on moon look like, you can bring them to this road. They can feel it too.

There are about 8-10k people who work in just NTTF college road in Peenya- there are compaines like Eurofins, Cyient, Gokuldas, Minebea and ours in this street. NO garbage dump truck ever comes to road. Where should be dump the daily waste ? GBA is a scam - the guy who drives dump truck asks for 5k per visit.

We (all industries in peenya) pay the highest taxes in all forms including waste remvoal.

@krishnabgowda sir- Without solving these problems, just trying to bring in new rules arround waste, roads and others will only make GBA a bribery powerhouse, leading to major scams in bangalore. Phased approach by fixing the problems is extremly important.🙏

[Sonu Nigam @SonuNigamSingh]

विवाद ये कतई नहीं है कि महिला क्या पहनें... दिक्कत दोगलेपन से है और हिंदू त्योहारों पर लोगों को उनकी परंपराओं से प्रभावित करने वाले हथकंडों से है।

क्योंकि ऐसा नहीं है कि कृति सेनन ने कोई पहली बार कुछ ऐसा पहना है और विवाद हो गया।

कब क्या पहनना चाहिए इसका एक सलीका होता है। उदाहरण के लिए गुरुद्वारे में जाने से सिर ढंकने की परंपरा है, मंदिर में आप भरे-पूरे कपड़े पहनते हैं। बहुत से मंदिरों में पुरुषों के हॉफपैंट पहनने तक पर रोक है, लेकिन वहां तो कोई कपड़ा पहनने की आजादी का तबला नही बजा रहा है।

इसलिए विक्टिम कार्ड खेलने की जगह लोकतांत्रिक देश में हिंदुओं की आस्था पर कुठाराघात करना बंद करें। हिंदू सहनशील है इसका यह अर्थ नहीं है कि आप बार-बार उसके संयम की परीक्षा लेते रहें।

GIVA ने ये एड हटा दिया है, इस हेतु धन्यवाद।

Few days ago- dear Riju Datta of TMC had thrown me a challenge

“If BJP wins Bengal i won’t come on tv debates and if BJP doesn’t cross 100 then Shehzad should not come”

Much like Derek’s arrogant challenge isn’t it Time to implement this challenge too?

RT so many times that it reaches Riju Datta

Strong nations don’t get distracted by noise or dragged into hatred. They build partnerships on trust and think in decades.

Yet seeing some voices fall into open racism toward Indians, reducing people to faith or identity, shows how ignorance is being weaponized.

Some even think calling me “Indian” is an insult. If anything, that’s a compliment. You’re associating me with one of the world’s oldest civilizations of thinkers, innovators, and entrepreneurs.

India is a great civilization. Not a target for sectarian bullying.
Progress is built on merit, not prejudice.

Real strength is respect, coexistence, and dignity, values the UAE represents every day.

When racism replaces reason, masks fall. And the contrast is clear. 🇦🇪

1. Watch #Dhurandhar on the big screen.I watched it today & came away thoroughly impressed at the finesse & execution of @AdityaDharFilms. With a brilliant cast where none is dispensable,a tightly written script & a scintillating background score, 214 minutes isnt long enough.

[Sharmishta Sharma @AnObserversView]

Today I watched Dhurandhar sitting beside my father. For him, it wasn’t a movie. It was memory of a trauma revisited exactly today 24 years ago. 

It was 13.12.2001 all over again, the day five Pakistan-trained terrorists launched a brutal attack on the Indian Parliament.
He was inside Parliament House. He heard the gunfire. He saw the chaos unfold. He survived what was meant to be a national assassination.

I remember I was in college and watched the news and rushed to the PCO to call up my mother who I still recall was worried seeing the news on TV. We had no news of my father’s well being. It took us back to the horror filled days of 1989 in Kashmir when he survived two attacks by the militants and we didn’t know about his whereabouts.

Dhurandhar isn’t just a movie. It’s a reality thousands of families like mine have lived. Some were lucky and some were not.

Dhurandhar isn’t anti-anyone or any religion. It is anti-terror. And those calling it “anti-Muslim” are either disturbingly ignorant or deliberately dishonest.

Let’s set the record straight:

Kandahar Hijacking, 1999 – real.
Parliament Attack, 2001 – real.
26/11 Mumbai Attacks – real.

Every frame in Dhurandhar draws from these blood-soaked pages of Indian history. And the terrorists in each of these real-life horrors were Islamist radicals, not imagined, not fictional, but very much alive, trained, armed, and deadly.

So here’s the question:

When cinema holds a mirror to documented, widely reported, and court-acknowledged terror events, why does it rattle only a section that suddenly cries “Islamophobia”?

And to the lame actors and movie critics I ask where was your outrage when Bollywood romanticised gangsters and terrorists? Or whitewashed historical tyrants? Or vilified Indian traditions in the name of creativity? Your selective morality is showing. And it reeks.

India bled.
Civilians died.
Brave men in uniform were martyred.
This film reminds us of that. It’s simply anti-terrorists so why is your backside on fire? If Dhurandhar feels uncomfortable, maybe it’s not the film. Maybe it’s your conscience.

A big note of thanks to @AdityaDharFilms and his entire team for such great cinematic experience! Each actor has done an exceptionally great job. It’s flawless! @RanveerOfficial ♥️ @ActorMadhavan 🫡 #AkshayeKhanna 🤗 Rakesh Bedi 👍
