Men are so private online. A guy could be moving to another country or having his first child, and he’d still only post a random football score on his story.

@KiranKS There is “Throwpathy Amman” temple too :)

12 years ago Peta held a rally in India asking Muslims to turn Vegan at Eid. Their activists were thrashed so badly they might have been lynched had cops not intervened. Peta never held a rally on Eid ever again.

All the sermonising is reserved exclusively for Hindu festivals.

Recently discovered Kannada inscription in Nitturu, (Siruguppa, Ballari) has been deciphered. It is from the reign of Akalavarsha Krishna (Krishna I), the same emperor who commissioned the Kailasa temple in Ajanta.

This inscription holds significance in the history of Kannada. It stands as evidence for:
• The use of ancient Kannada language and script as an administrative language
• The land grant system during the Rashtrakuta period
• Regional administrative divisions
• The tradition of religious blessings and curse clauses in inscriptions

Key highlights of the inscription:

• It belongs to the reign of Akalavarsha Krishna I (756–774 CE)
• It records the royal grant of 12 "mattars" of irrigated land to an individual
• The land was measured according to “Rajamana,” the royal system of measurement
• The grant also included rights of “Unchabhoga”
• It mentions two administrative divisions ending with “100” and “70”
• It also refers to the official administering the Nittur region

The inscription concludes with a customary religious warning.

What makes this inscription even more remarkable is its proximity to the region associated with Ashokan inscriptions, highlighting the historical importance of this area from the Mauryan era to the Rashtrakuta period.
inscription clearly demonstrates that Kannada had already been firmly established as an administrative language by the 8th century CE.

Inscription was discovered by a team led by Manu Tekkalakote and Ashok Abkari.

South Bangalore woke crowd aah ?

Moron, South Bangalore is the most culturally rooted area of the city. It’s one of the most anti woke urban areas in the country

Raghunath Mandir in Kashmir Valley was closed in 1990s by Islamists.

Finally reopened after 36 years amid security.

This is about a Hindu Mandir in Hindustan.

India's Nuclear energy achievement

The 500 MW Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam has attained criticality. India just achieved something monumental in global nuclear energy.

→ 72 years: Time since Homi Bhabha conceived the plan
→ 22 years: Time to build it
→ 100% indigenous
→ ₹7,700 crore total cost

A thread on why this matters.

India has now attained criticality in a commercial, 500MW power producing, fast breeder nuclear reactor.

(We had experimental one before, but this is a big commercial one that can produce power.)

Criticality means reactor is running by itself without needing to keep re-igniting it. Breeder means it makes more fissile fuel than it uses.

Nobody wanted to give India such tech. Because these reactors can create nuclear fissile material. So India created the tech itself in spite of sanctions.

Only Russia has this tech (true commerical fast breeder reactor) running. US, UK, France say they have given up on this. China has one prototype based on Russian tech but it is not yet commercial.

India has refused to put its Fast Breeder Reactor program under international scrutiny. It is a big, big, no HUGE thing for India's energy independence.

But, as usual, most Indians won't know how big as we don't play up our achievements. I was recently amused seeing some posts by Gen-Z advising Indian govt to go for Thorium cycle etc in some condescending tone.

Because India has been on it quietly for sometime. And this reactor going critical now and commercial soon means it can sustain itself for infinity. This cuts India's imports of Uranium. And paves the way for Thorium based reactors as well. (Stage 3 of India's nuclear program, we just passed Stage 2 with PM's post).

Also, what PM didn't say is, this reactor can help generate some 100+kg of weapons grade Plutonium -with which India can make many warheads and expand nuclear stockpile if it wishes so.

But India will never do that, you know, as India is a very peaceful nation promoting world wide nuclear disarmament ;)

@HateDetectors Nothing will happen. The court will grant bail and then case will go away from public memory
