These are disturbing reports. Kerala has long been host to a liberal, progressive practice of Islam, fully in tune with the coexistence and communal harmony prevalent across the state. Kerala is proud of its record of educating Muslim girls and women to the same levels as boys and men. The import of conservative and even reactionary attitudes and customs from abroad, as suggested by this report, is fundamentally at variance with what Kerala has long been about. This requires serious introspection and internal discussion within the Muslim community as well.

I am loving this ! This is so beautiful. Apart from the few disturbing things in the state, Keralam is the best example for Dharmic pluralism ! #Keralam

Muslim women of Kerala freely celebrate Onam, meanwhile Hindu women can’t celebrate Holi in North India in public for reasons you know why.

A mammogram missed her cousin's breast cancer. By the time it was found it was too late, and she died.

About 6 months later a second woman in the same family was diagnosed. She died as well.

The woman watching this happen was an artificial intelligence researcher.

Her name is Geetha Manjunath.

She grew up in Bengaluru. She took her bachelor's degree in computer science at UVCE, then a master's and a doctorate at the Indian Institute of Science, where she was a gold medallist.

Her first job was at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, where she was part of the team that built India's first commercial supercomputer in the 1990s.

She spent 17 years at Hewlett Packard Labs as a principal research scientist. She then became a lab director at Xerox Research in India, heading their data analytics research.

Then the 2 deaths in her family happened, and she went and read about the disease.

What she found is worth knowing.

In India, roughly half the women diagnosed with breast cancer die of it. Her own words are blunt. Every alternate lady detected with breast cancer is dying.

The reason is almost never the treatment. It is that the disease is found too late.

Mammograms are the standard test. They use x-rays, they are expensive, they are uncomfortable, they need a large fixed machine, and there is a specific medical problem with them. In younger women the breast tissue is denser, and dense tissue and tumours both show up white on the scan. So the tumour can hide.

That is what happened to her cousin.

She started working on it in her spare time, on weekends, with a small team, while still employed.

The idea was to use thermal imaging instead. A cancer uses more energy than normal tissue and the blood flow around it increases, so the area is slightly warmer. A thermal camera can see that heat pattern from a distance, without touching the body and without any radiation.

The hard part is reading it. Heat patterns are messy. That is where her actual expertise came in. She trained machine learning software to interpret them.

Their first test was with a medical college in Manipal, using thermal images of 72 cancer patients.

It worked.

In 2016 she left her job and started a company with a former colleague, Nidhi Mathur. They called it Niramai, which stands for Non Invasive Risk Assessment with Machine Intelligence, and which in Sanskrit also means free from illness.

The test needs no radiation, no touch, no pain, and no one else in the room. It works on women of any age and any breast density. The equipment is portable, so it can be taken to villages.

More than 400,000 women have now been screened across over 250 locations in India. More than 2,000 cancers have been found.

The technology has regulatory clearance in the United States and in Europe. She holds 14 American patents.

She has one line she repeats.

Nobody needs to die of breast cancer, if you can catch it early enough.

This is huge: PM Modi announced free online coaching for education and competitive exams.

RIP coaching Mafia and "educational" activists...

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Today we mark #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay. We recall the courage of all those who were impacted by Partition. It was a moment in history that tore apart several lives…families were uprooted, loved ones were lost and immense suffering was endured.

At the same time, overcoming this, people rebuilt their lives from nothing, turned adversity into achievement and contributed immensely to our nation’s progress. Their life journeys remind us of the strength of the human spirit.

May this day deepen our resolve to preserve harmony and brotherhood in our nation and collectively work towards building a Viksit Bharat.

Christianity with Dharmic influence is something unique to Bharat. If faith respects the culture it grows within and drops confrontational proselytising, coexistence becomes beautiful. To a large extent, Keralam has that Dharmic co-existence. #Keralam

Converted Christians in Kerala perform a Hindu dance, in Hindu attire, with Hindu traditional lamps and Hindu temple music, in a church. If you have rejected the religion of your forefathers and have accepted a foreign, inclusive ideology, then stick to your Latin, Syrian, American or European rituals. Why do you copy Hindu customs and traditions? Inferiority complex?

🚨 Bengaluru startup Voxelgrids is making India's first MRI machine, which will reduce scan cost by up to 70%.

An average MRI scan in India costs nearly Rs 10,000, making it unaffordable for many families in the country. 🙏

Students of Samarthanam Trust School beautifully performing National Anthem in sign language. My heart and eyes are so full 🥹❤️

[Rashmi Raghavan @Rashmi9Rocks]

Very much needed in Delhi ! Good initiative 👏

[Rekha Gupta @gupta_rekha]

We are soon launching the Child Beggar-Free Delhi Campaign across all 13 districts to protect children found begging and secure their future.

Children will not be moved by force. With DCPCR and NGOs, we will counsel families, address their difficulties and provide better alternatives. The campaign will also identify and expose organised gangs forcing children into begging.

Have a suggestion? Comment or DM us.

Indian Automakers just topped the world in EV efficiency. Not Tesla. Not BYD. Tata and Mahindra.

Among the world's 22 largest automakers, Tata Motors and Mahindra posted the lowest energy consumption per km in 2025, beating Tesla and BYD on efficiency.

Indian engineering, built for Indian roads, is now setting the global benchmark.

#WATCH | Delhi | Daughter of a Delhi Police SI (Sub-Inspector) who sustained injuries during the clash between Police and protesters in Delhi, says, "...Before joining the police, my father served as a Marine Commando in the Indian Navy. He dedicated 15 years of his life to the Indian Navy. My father was present at the main protest site. He was on the front line near the barricades, where there was a large crowd. Whenever my father came home at night, he used to say that the protest no longer seemed like a student protest. Many antisocial elements had become involved in it. The very next day, on the 25th, my father was pulled by a rowdy mob and was almost lynched near the stage at Jantar Mantar. This happened on the 25th at around 2:00 PM. He remained unconscious at RML Hospital for about four hours. Around 10:00 PM, his colleagues brought him home, and his uniform was completely stained with blood. It was extremely painful for us to see him in that condition...When I opened social media, I saw that my father was being called a criminal. The very next day, I came to know that the people who had attacked my father were approaching the Supreme Court to wash away their crimes and were filing complaints against him and all the police personnel. I felt very hurt and decided that I should also seek justice for my father. I received support from other police families, and we went to the Supreme Court. We requested an advocate to present our case before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The advocate assured us that we, too, have equal rights as citizens of this country and that we would also get justice"

The worst part of the student protests, for me, was seeing young women normalise foul language and gaali-galoch as a badge of honour. That was shameful.

After 78 years of Independence, Railways finally reached Mizoram and locals are enjoying every bit of their travel journey.

[Rajeev Chandrasekhar 🇮🇳 @RajeevRC_X]

It may hv started as Students genuine grievance being aired.

But it is 100% clear that @RahulGandhi and other interests did everything possible to create anarchy and violence. These troublemakers arent students wanting to discuss their future - but political goons being organized to create chaos.

It is a wake up call for all of us. eyes wide open.

I hope these "overseas" volunteers are all scrutinized and investigated

[Rohan Dua @rohanduaT02]

It took India a decade to embrace Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Meanwhile, CJP & protesters who ordered food, colas, beer, KFCs during sit-in left 60 tonnes garbage behind!

Add littering to abuses & pelting.

This was a public disorder masquerading as activism

[Geetanjali Mishra @geetanjali800]

As a woman, it hurts to see this behavior. We talk about dignity, feminism,womanhood but resorting to foul abuse and then playing the victim card ruins our credibility. If you disagree with me and tagging me in defense of this, show the videos of these girls,swearing to your own mothers and sisters ,daughter first…Disagree politically all you want, but don't excuse vulgarity under the guise of victimhood….
