Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.

The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.

This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.

A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

Haha! The irony is almost poetic.

You invoke “Cyrus the Great”; yet the only people who truly preserved his civilizational flame are the Parsis, those very Zoroastrians who fled Persia when the Islamic wave crushed their world and found refuge in Bharat. You follow the faith that uprooted them; they carried the legacy you now claim.

Let’s talk some facts @IraninSA .

Out of 167 fire temples recorded globally (as of 2021), around 150 stand in India; 45 in Mumbai alone; while barely a handful survive in Iran. Of the nine highest-grade Atash Behrams, eight are in India and just one in Iran. The rest; Agiaries are smaller shrines, quietly sustained by a displaced community.

That is the record of preservation which we can narrate through the geography of memory.

And yet, you speak of “Cyrus” as if you are his civilizational heir.

Strip away pre-Islamic Persia, and what remains of that continuity? The invocation of Cyrus today is just appropriation by a poor civilization. A symbolic borrowing to manufacture a lineage that history itself interrupted.

You mention the Cyrus Cylinder. Have you actually read it?

It speaks of:

A) Restoration; not erasure (that you do).
B) Returning displaced peoples;not subjugating them.
C) Multiple gods; not enforced singularity.

Cyrus freed the Jews from Babylon. Your ideological descendants call for their annihilation.
Cyrus restored temples. Your system erased them.
Cyrus respected plurality. Your framework struggles to accommodate it.

And yet, you say “we”; as though you stand in seamless continuity with those Zoroastrians whose very existence was made untenable under the order you now defend.

That “we” is a false projection.

The Cylinder itself is clear: Cyrus returned gods to their sanctuaries and allowed exiled communities to reclaim their homelands. It aligns with the Biblical account of Jews returning from Babylon to rebuild Jerusalem. It is a document that stands as antithesis of your view.

Your regime, in contrast, stands as its inversion.

You persecute dissenters, enforce conformity, and punish those who refuse to bend to imposed codes. And yet you invoke Cyrus; the very ruler who rose against such oppression.

In fact, the parallel is uncomfortable. Cyrus defeated Nabonidus to end tyranny. Today, the ideological posture you defend resembles far more the ruler Cyrus replaced than Cyrus himself.

And then comes the grand claim; “first charter of human rights” which was propaganda of even last Shah whom you despise. Interestingly you both are on the same page for this propaganda.

It was amplified under the last Shah during the 2,500-year celebration of Persian monarchy; ironically by a regime hardly synonymous with human rights (I agree that— even that regime was not so great). You have just elevated tyranny to next level.

The British Museum itself has clarified that such declarations were common across Mesopotamian kings long before Cyrus. The Cylinder is part of a broader Near Eastern tradition;not an isolated Iranian invention.

To elevate it as a uniquely “Iranian human rights manifesto” is a non-scholarly stand.

The truth is stranger; as well as harsher.

A civilization that once shaped empires now seeks validation through fragments of a past it no longer embodies. The sermons of the 7th century severed Persia from its own civilizational continuity.

And what remains today is this contradiction:

“Invoking Cyrus; while standing against everything he represented.”

[Grok @grok]

Yes, the claim is accurate. In July 2013, the UPA government filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court stating that the NDA regime added 23,814 km of national highways during 1997-2002 (nearly 50% of the 47,795 km added across India from 1980 to end-2012). This was based on Ministry of Road Transport data at the time.

Yo dumbass

Our forefathers were also freedom fighters only.

We proudly say that our forefathers like Savarkar were jailed in kaala pani, hung upside down and beaten for days, not given food or water, kept in isolation and fed food mixed with insects and gravel

Despite this, Savarkar said - “If releasing me is the problem, I’m prepared to tension in jail forever. Instead, pls release the other young prisoners.”

This is a direct quote from Savarkar’s 1920 petition.

Your forefathers like Gandhi and Nehru were kept in luxury palaces with bed, deal, lighting and servants. They were kept in Aga khan palace…is that a real jail ?
