@navdeepdahiya55 Hi, thanks for the updates!
Does this system look strong enough to cause blockages around Zoji La? I intend to cross it on May 31 morning with family.
@JamieMoranUK OT: I just played for 20mins or so to test it out. I couldn’t really feel the difference in terms of texture quality, graphics etc between 5 and 6, both maxed out on PC. Do you think we have it a plateau? What’s next for this genre realistically?
In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
@DevilsAdvoc4t@charlieINTEL I hear you, and maybe you didn’t get my disappointment. I’ve been an Xbox fanboy. I own a PS too, just 4 the exclusives. I’ve been little upset since Xbox decided to discontinue with the concept of Xbox exclusives. Now I feel the new Xbox hardware will be pointless.

We should not call out states. We should call out such drivers. Trash is everywhere. We need to clean this trash, together.

Pls see pics of a suspicious car just before Mahipalpur around 3.57pm on DEC 5, 2025, while coming from GGN towards Delhi. The plate is deliberately hiding couple of numbers front and back. Driver had sun blinds on his window & wearing a mask.
Don’t spread or fall for FAKE NEWS ON Sanchar Saathi aap.
Is the mandate to pre-install Sanchar Saathi a way for the government to snoop on your phone?
Short answer: No.
Sanchar Saathi cannot read your messages, listen to your calls, or access your personal data.
Sanchar Saathi is a telecom safety and verification platform, designed to enhance user security.
The mandate is aimed at fraud prevention and stolen-device tracking — not surveillance.
What Sanchar Saathi actually does
•Enables users to report suspicious calls, spam, and malicious links.
•Allows the blocking of lost or stolen mobile devices.
•Provides visibility into all mobile numbers issued in a user’s name.
•Identifies international calls spoofed as domestic numbers.
•Offers verified helpline contacts for banks and essential services.
These functions are purely preventive and user-initiated. There is no passive monitoring, data extraction, or hidden activity.
Why Sanchar Saathi is necessary today?
India is witnessing a significant increase in:
•IMEI duplication and device cloning.
•Fraud in the second-hand smartphone market.
•SIM misuse and identity-based mobile fraud.
•Cyber scams targeting new and unaware smartphone users.
The platform’s impact is already substantial:
•42.15 lakh mobile devices blocked before they could be misused.
•26.14 lakh stolen phones successfully traced.
•2.89 crore citizens verified SIM cards issued in their name.
•6.48 lakh scam and fraud reports resulting in 40.96 lakh preventive actions.
The bottom line:
Sanchar Saathi is a cybersecurity safeguard, not a surveillance mechanism.
It does not track users, monitor personal activity, or access private data.
It simply ensures that every citizen has a built-in layer of protection at a time when cybercrime is escalating globally.
A secure digital ecosystem begins with secure devices and Sanchar Saathi is a crucial step forward.
