The Int'l president of Vishva Hindu Parishad and Sr advocate Shri Alok Kumar (@AlokKumarLIVE) Asks IO to Examine Mrs. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra & Others Over Their Public Allegations in the Ram Janmabhoomi Case...

[RSS @RSSorg]

Statement issued by Dattatreya Hosabale, Sarkaryavah (General Secretary) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
New Delhi, July 3, 2026

The grand temple constructed at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi has become a center of reverence, faith, and devotion for the entire Hindu society, owing to the struggles of generations and the dedication, sacrifice, and martyrdom of crores of Rambhakts. (devotees.) The unfortunate incident of theft in the donation boxes kept at the Shri Ram Lalla temple in Ayodhya has deeply hurt the sentiments and faith of the entire society and Ram devotees; we are all extremely pained and angered by this event.

At the earnest request of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, the Uttar Pradesh government constituted a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and initiated legal proceedings based on its recommendations. It is essential to ensure that anyone found guilty after the investigation faces severe punishment.

It is natural for the entire Hindu society, including the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, to expect the Trust to treat this highly condemnable incident as an extraordinary matter and take effective steps to rectify all shortcomings in temple management and operations. This is crucial to ensure that the faith and reverence of crores of Ram devotees in the Ayodhya temple remain unbroken and steadfast. The current state of confusion and uncertainty must end. In this regard, we expect the temple management and the government-appointed SIT to take all necessary initiatives. We are confident that through proper financial management, flawless and transparent operational systems, and an atmosphere imbued with purity, sanctity, and true dharmikta, the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust will continue to strengthen the faith and trust of the Hindu society.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh also calls upon the entire Hindu society to display necessary patience and restraint during this difficult moment and to thwart the conspiracies of anti-Hindu and anti-national forces seeking to malign the Hindu dharma and society by exploiting this unfortunate incident.

Right response from Mohanji Bhagwat. Nehru banned RSS. When he lifted it, he only asked RSS to submit a written Constitition. RSS did & it is in govt records. Nehru didnt ask RSS to get registered under Societies Registration Act 1860. Nor did Indira, Rao or Manmohan.

An Indian Air Force (IAF) officer was posted in a border area, while his wife worked in property dealing in Nagpur.

One day, his wife's former classmate Ayyaz Taj Madare contacted her on the pretext of purchasing a plot and called her to a hotel to finalize the deal. He then drugged and raped her, recorded obscene videos, and later used them to blackmail and sexually exploit her.

The viral video shows Ayyaz Taj Madare forcefully holding her hands while chanting religious verses and repeatedly blowing over her, as she pleaded with him to leave her alone.

The woman alleged that two more people were also involved in the case - Ameen Sheikh and Hazrat Maulana.

So far, the police have arrested Ayyaz Taj Madare and Ameen Sheikh, while the third accused Hazrat Maulana remains absconding.

The Indian Air Force (IAF) officer is seeking Justice for his wife.

International crude prices have gone through the roof in the last 1 month from around 70 dollars/barrel to around 122 dollars/barrel. Consequently, petrol and diesel prices for consumers have gone up all over the world. Prices have increased by around 30%-50% in South East Asian countries, 30% in North American countries, 20% in Europe and 50% in African countries.

The Modi Government had two choices- either increase prices drastically for citizens of Bharat as all other nations have done or bear the brunt on its finances so that Indian citizen is insulated from international volatility.

Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji, in keeping with his Government’s commitment of last 4 years since the conflict in Russia-Ukraine started, decided to take a hit on its own finances again to safeguard the Indian citizen.

Government has taken a huge hit on it taxation revenues to ensure very high losses of oil companies (approximately 24 Rs/litre for petrol and 30 Rs/litre for diesel) at this time of sky high international prices are reduced. At the same time, export tax has been levied as international prices of petrol and diesel have skyrocketed and any refinery exporting to foreign nations will have to pay export tax. My gratitude to Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji and Hon’ble FM @nsitharaman Ji for this very timely, bold and visionary decision!

There is no such thing as Islamophobia @sardesairajdeep.

A phobia is an irrational fear. It is NOT irrational to fear Islam, an ideology that explicitly calls for the killing of all non-Muslims. How can you sit back and watch the Islamic massacre and raping of Hindus and defend the Pakistani invaders in your country who wish to make India a Muslim country?

Don’t you have any sense of national pride and a desire to preserve your country as majority Hindu?

You do not have a strong survival instinct.

[Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas #MoPNG @PetroleumMin]

Important advisory for citizens.

Petrol and diesel are adequately available at retail outlets across the country. Consumers are advised not to take or store fuel in loose or inappropriate containers, as it poses serious safety risks.

Retail outlets have been instructed to strictly follow safety guidelines while dispensing fuel, and any violation will invite strict action.

[Shikhar Dhawan @SDhawan25]

Deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Tarun Kumar in Uttam Nagar. It’s heartbreaking that something as small as a child throwing a water balloon during Holi could escalate into such violence. Humanity should never fall to this level. Prayers for his family and hope the culprits face the strictest punishment.

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

One detail from this Iran war should make every serious state sit up: credible reporting says Israeli leaders were shown an image of Khamenei’s body after it was recovered by Mossad agents - and that Israel had visibility on his fate faster than Iran could even confirm the death of it's supreme leader and shape the narrative. That’s not “tech”. That’s HUMINT + penetration.

Satellites don’t tell you who is in which room at what time. Signals don’t always survive encryption and discipline. What wins you wars and prevents surprises is human access so-urces, moles, defectors, recruited assets - the messy, thankless work of being inside the enemy’s bloodstream.

Israel has no luxury of being lazy at intelligence. It sits in a hostile neighbourhood with actors who openly want it erased. So it builds networks that aren’t “near the border.” They’re near the decision-makers. That’s what survival looks like when geography is unforgiving.

Now bring that lens to India. When you live next to Pakistan’s terror ecosystem and a Bangladesh theatre that keeps throwing up radical modules, you don’t get to be sentimental about “soft power” as a substitute for hard intelligence. You need early warning, deep penetration, counter-infiltration, and ruthless disruption - before the plot becomes a headline.

And this is exactly where the armchair moralists fail India. They love questioning operations after the fact. They hate the boring investments before the fact: intel budgets, source protection, language capability, field tradecraft, inter-agency fusion, and the political spine to back covert work without leaking it for TRPs.

Pop culture and superhit movies like Dhurandhar tells the story really well but makes it look stylish - one hero, one mission, one punchline. Real HUMINT though is the opposite: years of patience, ugly risks, zero credit, and often no medal because the best outcome is “nothing happened.”

This is not about chest-thumping. This is about statecraft. The world is moving into an age where wars are decided by who sees first, knows first, and shapes first. Israel gets that. India must get that - permanently. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi and our intelligence apparatus, NEW INDIA definitely gets it.

Because 'terrorist harbouring neighbours' don’t send calendar invites before they strike. They send handlers, money, propaganda, and sleepers. The only answer is being inside that machinery early enough to break it.

If you want deterrence, stop thinking intelligence is an accessory. It’s the foundation.

CIVILIZATION JUST SENT A MESSAGE

While Silicon Valley debates whether AI will end humanity, a 19-year-old in Varanasi just proved what can never be automated.

Vedamurti Devavrat Mahesh Rekhe completed the Dandakrama Parayanam: 2,000 mantras of the Shukla Yajurveda recited flawlessly over 50 days without a single interruption.

The first human to achieve this in over 200 years.

Not downloaded. Not prompted. Transmitted mouth to ear across 5,000 years of unbroken memory, predating every empire that rose and fell while this chain continued.

The leader of 1.4 billion people personally honored him. Not a billionaire. Not an influencer. A teenager who mastered what his ancestors mastered, in the exact city where they mastered it, using the exact method they used.

Here is what the modern world cannot compute:

No algorithm can replicate this. No server can store it. When the lights go out and the data centers fail, this tradition will still be passing from guru to disciple in the same sacred city where it has lived for millennia.

The West builds monuments to remember.

India builds people who ARE the monuments.

Every civilization that abandoned its transmission chains is now archaeology. Every civilization that maintained them is still here, still speaking, still breathing.

This is not nostalgia. This is not religion. This is the most sophisticated information preservation technology ever developed by humans: the living voice, the trained mind, the unbroken chain.

Empires end. Traditions do not.

A 19-year-old just proved it.

The Ascent Begins.

Applying Priyank Kharge’s own logic, how is this justified? How are people openly using government or public property without obtaining prior permission from the concerned authorities?
Will Priyank Kharge raise the same objections here as well, or does his questioning only apply selectively?

To the cinephiles and the global audience,
Dhaivaradhane stands as a profound symbol of faith and cultural pride within Tulunadu, the coastal region of Karnataka. Our films, Kantara and Kantara Chapter-1, were created with the purpose of respectfully portraying this devotion and celebrating the glory of the Daivas . We have strived tirelessly to ensure that the profound respect and unwavering devotion central to Dhaivaradhane were honoured, successfully spreading the significance and heritage of the Tulu soil with the world.
We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming positive response. However, we have observed that certain individuals have been imitating the Daiva characters from the movie and engaging in inappropriate behaviour in public spaces and gatherings.
Dhaivaradhane or Daiva worship, as featured in our film, is rooted in deep spiritual tradition and is not intended for performance or casual mimicry. Such acts amount to trivializing our belief system and deeply hurt the religious sentiments and faith of the Tulu community.
Hombale Films therefore makes a strong and sincere appeal to the public and audiences to refrain from any act that involves imitating, mimicking, or trivializing the Daiva personas—whether in cinema halls or in public places.
The sacred nature of Dhaivaradhane must always be upheld. We urge all citizens to recognize the spiritual importance of these portrayals and act responsibly, ensuring that the devotion we sought to celebrate is never compromised or treated lightly.
We appreciate your continued support and cooperation in preserving the sanctity of this invaluable cultural heritage.

Serious concern during a Zomato delivery 🚨

Faced a concerning delivery experience last night. The order was delayed due to multiple groupings. When the person finally came, I felt something didn’t match the registered name “Ashok Ram"

As he was leaving, I casually asked, “Kya naam hai aapka?” he instantly replied “Bismillahum”. When I asked again, he changed his answer saying people call him that but his name is “Ashok”.

I asked to see his ID card; he refused and left abruptly. His body language completely changed.

Forget the delay but this is a serious safety issue if the person is not registered with actual name? @deepigoyal @zomato please investigate if accounts are registered with fake credentials/IDs or shared by someone else(mechanism to detect this? Device binding?. Also delivery partners should have visible ID cards while delivering for everyone’s safety.

#WATCH | Kochi, Kerala | On RSS completing 100 years, Former Director General of Kerala Police, Jacob Thomas says, "I attended the centenary celebrations of RSS and the next one year is a time of celebration for RSS as RSS was established in 1925, it has flourished, grown and it continues to play a very significant role for the national growth, prosperity and also unifying the country...RSS is a unifying force of this country. People in Kerala are not against the RSS... They (RSS) don't engage in smuggling of gold, trafficking of these narcotic things. They don't engage in the financial frauds that we hear more about in Kerala...The sole objective of the RSS is to work for the prosperity of this country...To all such criticism that the RSS is a religious organisation, the very example of myself, who studied at St. Mary's School and then at St. George's College, and who also practised the Christian religion, is today presiding over an RSS function on the 100th anniversary of the RSS. How can anybody in Kerala say that RSS is a Hindu religious organisation?...RSS welcomes everyone and that's why I am in RSS"
