⚡The US couldn't bend the Iranians even after bombing them relentlessly.
The Iranian President hears the message of Hinduism from our seers and...
"He touches the feet of the Hindu Seer to seek his blessings"
This is absolutely unprecedented in history.

BRICS gives India more than a seat at the table. It offers:
🌐 Access to huge markets: BRICS represents almost 50% of the world’s population and around 40% of global GDP.
💰 Alternative financing: India is the second-largest recipient of NDB loans, with more than $4 billion in outstanding loans as of 2024.
💳 Cheaper cross-border payments: India is pushing for interoperable payment systems among BRICS nations.
🗣️ Greater diplomatic leverage: A larger platform to advance issues such as global institutional reform.
🌏 Stronger Global South ties: Deeper economic and political partnerships across Asia, Africa, West Asia and Latin America.
🇮🇳 Strategic autonomy: India can engage with multiple power centres without being locked into any single bloc.

Bharat is taking a quantum leap into those fields which were considered unthinkable and even mocked by self styled experts.
Now, Thanks to dynamic and visionary leadership of PM Sri @narendramodi ji,
The acknowledgement of this splendid success is transcending to overseas.
Every Indian should know this one, and here is why.
Five students from IIT Madras just got a patent granted by the toughest patent office in the world. :)
Now here is what they actually invented.
See, satellites look at Earth two ways.
The first is a normal camera, just a very good one.
Sharp, full colour, easy to read. The catch is it needs sunlight and clear sky. Clouds block it. Night blocks it. Smoke blocks it.
Over India during the monsoon, it is basically blind for months.
The second is radar.
It fires radio waves at the ground and reads the echo. Radio waves pass straight through cloud, smoke and darkness, so radar works at 3 am in heavy rain.
But the picture it gives you is grey and strange. It shows shape and texture, not colour. Reading it takes a lot of training.
So one gives you a beautiful image you often cannot capture. The other gives you an image you can always capture but struggle to understand.
The fix obviously is to combine them.
People tried for years and it did not work well, for a simple reason.
The two images came from different satellites. The camera photographed a field at 10 in the morning from one angle. The radar satellite scanned it at 4 in the afternoon from a different angle. Lay one over the other and nothing lines up.
Different time, different position, different view. You are not looking at the same moment.
GalaxEye's patent covers a way to put both sensors on one satellite and make them fire together. Same instant, same patch of ground, same angle.
The invention is the architecture that keeps the two locked in.
The same technology was already patented in India. Now the US has recognised it too. The company says this makes it the first Indian startup to hold a US patent for satellite imaging technology.
Obviously there are plenty of applications for that technology like defence radars to see through camouflage and tree cover.
In farming, the technology will allow us to watch crops during monsoon, exactly when normal satellites cannot see.
Interestingly, the idea came from a real problem. Suyash Singh was assessing wildfire damage in California using satellite data.
The camera images were useless because of the smoke. The radar images were available but were hard to interpret.
Now you understand why the solution is simply genius. :)
GalaxEye was founded in 2021 by five IIT Madras alumni. Suyash Singh, Denil Chawda, Kishan Thakkar, Pranit Mehta and Rakshit Bhatt.
They met while building Team Avishkar Hyperloop.
In 2019 that team was the only Asian entry to reach the finals of SpaceX's global hyperloop competition. They built India's first self propelled hyperloop pod.
Then they decided to build satellites instead. Incubated at IIT Madras, based in Bengaluru, backed by Mela Ventures, Speciale Invest, ideaForge and Rainmatter.
On 3 May this year they launched Mission Drishti on a Falcon 9. The world's first OptoSAR satellite. At around 190 kg it was India's largest privately built Earth observation satellite at the time.
So, five people who were students seven years ago had an original idea, patented it in India, built the hardware, flew it on a Falcon 9 and then got the invention recognised by the US patent office.
Amazing! 🇮🇳
After 77 years of independence, Indian Railways connects the Mizoram capital for the first time via the 51 km Bairabi-Sairang project
Wonder why the Congress never did it in 60 years of its rule?
Naraz Phupha is a full-time career.
Highway? “Who has a car?”
Expressway? “Why reach early?”
Superpower? “Why even try?”
7.8% growth. Same uncle. Same sulk.
Bharat moved. He didn’t. 🇮🇳
This is that typical self-loathing, deracinated, inferiority complex ridden ‘Indian Liberal Intellectual’ who is neither Indian, nor liberal, nor an intellectual!
Raghuram Rajan represents a particular class of sore losers, who leave India at the first opportunity, live in their one million dollar homes/apartments in Amrika, and lecture Indians on how we should remain poor and underdeveloped! https://t.co/Wl61tuJRXG
Almost immediately after India’s Q1 GDP print of 7.8%, the questions began: Where is the growth? Can we trust the number?
My answer: don’t look at one number , look at all of them together.
GDP: 7.8% | GVA: 8.2% | Nominal GDP: 10.3% | Manufacturing: 9.2% | Investment: 11.9% | Household consumption: 7.1% | Exports: 12% | Financial, real estate & IT services: 12.1%
And the momentum hasn’t stopped:
📈 July industrial output: +6.7%, capital goods: +16.1%
📦 April–July exports: +13.16%
💰 August GST collections: ~₹2 lakh crore, +14.8% YoY
🚚 E-way bills: 13.9 crore, +7.7%
🏭 Purchasing Manager Index: 54.1 , 15
Month high
💵 Forex reserves: all-time high of ~$741 billion
How many indicators have to move in the same direction before we accept that India is growing?
This strength isn’t confined to the Centre. In August alone, the Government sent States an extra ₹1.09 lakh crore in tax devolution. The 16th Finance Commission has locked in ₹4.35 lakh crore for our villages and panchayats over the next five years. A stronger Union means stronger States and stronger States mean more reaching our people. That’s who all this is for: WE THE PEOPLE.
And all of this, while the world battled war, oil shocks and inflation. No LPG crisis. No ₹150 petrol. Reserves at a record high instead of collapsing. That’s resilience.
Beneath the headline numbers, something bigger is happening: India is becoming a manufacturing power. Electrical equipment: +27%. Transport equipment: +20%. Capital goods: +15%. Electronics and semiconductors are moving from announcement to implementation.
For decades, India imported what it consumed. Today, the ambition is different: Make in India. Design in India. Innovate in India. Manufacture in India, for the world.
This didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of years of investment in highways, railways, airports, ports, power, digital infrastructure and manufacturing ecosystems under Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji.
And the world is opening its doors to match that ambition. India has built a growing network of Free Trade Agreements -with Mauritius, the UAE, Australia, the EFTA bloc, and the UK - opening new markets for our exports while pulling in fresh investment and jobs, with more deals, including the EU, in the pipeline.
Question the Government on legitimate issues. Demand employment, jobs. That is democracy. But there is a difference between questioning a government and questioning every single Indian achievement.
GDP rises, question it.
Exports rise , question them
Reserves hit a record, question that too.
Global companies invest, dismiss it.
At some point: what evidence would satisfy you?
Do not tell India’s youth that their country can not win. They have watched it happen in real time, and they will keep watching it for years to come.
There was a time when Indians looked at China’s extraordinary growth and wondered: When will India grow like this?
Today, India is among the world’s fastest-growing major economies.
Why should we not be proud of that?
Question India where India needs to improve. But when India delivers, have the courage to say so.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳

I am really sorry to say this, as a fellow IIT-IIM alumnus. Raghuram Rajan has been talking real crap about the Indian economy for the last several years.
He was IIT JEE AIR 100 in 1980. I was 218. My wife was 76. So I guess I have a right to feel especially disappointed :)
75-yr old senior talks about AI, space technology, Digital India and Yuvaneta talks about caste and Manusmriti. If you fail to see the difference, you have failed as a taxpaying citizen of India.
