In 2018, I visited Rohingya bastis in Jammu

An intelligence (IB) officer told me he had recorded 1,548 Rohingya families living in the region by then

I asked one Rohingya, 60-year-old Sayed Hussain, how he ended up in faraway Jammu after crossing the border in West Bengal. “I boarded the first train I saw [at Kolkata station]. It was noon. The journey ended at Jammu," he said

Hussain said he was among the first Rohingya to have settled in Jammu’s Bhatindi area 10 years earlier

Another Rohingya, 27-year-old Mohammed Tahir, also gave the same reason

Later, the IB officer laughed at this explanation. Told me, “By all accounts, they boarded the Sealdah Express that crosses Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Punjab before reaching Jammu. It’s an arduous two-day journey. Why did they not get down at any of the stations in between?”

There is a syndicate active in Kolkata that has facilitated Rohingya migration to Jammu for years. They tell the Rohingya that the only Muslim-majority state in India is their "natural home"

Ironically, most settle in Hindu-majority Jammu and not Muslim-majority Kashmir. The officer showed me figures on how Rohingya are scattered over 42 sites across Jammu, meaning they are being settled all over the region, and many Army camps were now surrounded by them

In 2015, Abdur Rehman al Arkani, a Jihadi killed by security forces in south Kashmir, was from Rakhine from Myanmar. He went by pseudonym “Chota Burmi”

Role of several Rohingya men in helping Pakistani Jihadis trespass Jammu border had surfaced by then. They are considered experts in infiltration as they are deft in cutting the fence, know tunneling, and are skilled in camouflage. Plus, they have a victimhood narrative of being wronged by qafirs - the Buddhists of Myanmar

In Jammu's Bhatinda are I visited, it was a surprise how quickly they had flourished, as if being pampered and nurtured. An entire lane of shops was called "Burmi market". Most dry fruits factories were employing Rohingya women for cracking walnuts

Local Hindus told me how these infiltrators had bigger and better stocked shops than them, who had lived here for generations

The officer told me how using the UNHCR cards, which have no legal status or validity in India, Rohingya have obtained Aadhaar cards, ration cards and, in some cases, even permanent resident certificate (PRC) cards, all through fraudulent means

Eight years later, these Rohingya are all still there in Jammu. Apparently the govt is running an anti-encroachment drive these days asking them to clear the areas they have illegally occupied, and some of them have reportedly begun to leave

But the exercise is looking more like a temporary inconvenience for the infiltrators than a serious effort to clear Jammu and India of them.

In the last months of his life, Allama Iqbal did one more thing. He went looking for someone to build the intellectual foundations of the Islamic order he had imagined.

He found a young scholar in Hyderabad, editing a journal of Quranic commentary. At Iqbal’s encouragement, in March 1938, that scholar moved to Pathankot in Punjab, to a project called Darul Islam. Iqbal died a month later.

Guess who the scholar was?

The young man’s name was Syed Abul A’la Maududi.

The cultural theft from delhi and north india is too much. The BIRTHPLACE of qawwali is North India. The language she is singing in is called Braj, not a Pakistani language. Hindi words like "maala", "nirdosh", "tilak" and "pritam"! The reason so many qawwalis are in Braj like “chhhap tilak sab chhheen li mose naina milaike”, "Najariya ki maari, mari mori guiyaaan" is because it was developed in the north indian gangetic plains. The Braj region is here. Amir khusrous mother was a Braj Khanzadih, he trained the Qwwal Bachchon ka Gharana. Delhi Gharana still exists. You are not the birthplace, or you would have used a language other than Braj.

With China planning a 60 GW mega-dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo, India’s proposed 11.2 GW Siang Project acts as a critical strategic shield. Beyond energy security, it safeguards over 4 crore lives across Arunachal Pradesh and Assam against upstream water security risks.

The scene in Prabhas’ upcoming period drama "Fauzi" depicting a meeting between Netaji and H*tler is entirely fictional. The actual meeting was nothing like this.

The following is a broad outline: In May 1942, Bose was flown to "Wolf's Lair," accompanied by Adam von Trott, the director of Special Bureau for India, and Wilhelm Keppler, H*tler's economic advisor. On arrival, he was formally received by Ribbentrop, the German Foreign Minister, and several others, including Martin Bormann representing H*tler. Bose first had discussions with Ribbentrop and Himmler, who had also arrived. The foreign minister then personally accompanied Bose to H*tler's personal study. Bose could speak German but chose to speak in English to avoid any misunderstanding.

Bose was received very warmly by H*tler, who first asked Ribbentrop whether Subhas Bose was being looked after well. After they were seated, H*tler asked him about his work in Germany and if he was facing any difficulties. Bose expressed his satisfaction and thanked him for the facilities provided. H*tler then said he deeply appreciated the work done by Bose, adding that India could be freed only by force of arms. The meeting lasted for over an hour, much longer than the time allotted. When Bose left, H*tler shook hands with him and wished India well.

Easy to criticise Kharge ji for that outburst. Difficult to be in his shoes. Anybody would lose it if faced with an audience that's smaller than the people on stage.

@theskindoctor13 Hopefully bundelkhand will get some industries too , this region is full of natural resources

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Development is relative. While one part of the world tracks hyperloops, another celebrates its very first train. It is a historic day for Sidhi, Vindhya, and Bundelkhand as 118 km of rail connectivity brings joy and comfort to people's lives.

Sidhi is a remote, tribal district in Madhya Pradesh known for its difficult terrain and past history with Naxalism. Now, for the first time since Independence, the district was connected to the railway network with the inauguration of two rail sections spanning 118 km: the 53-km Satna–Devendranagar and 65-km Rewa–Churhat lines.

Though envisioned back in the 1990s, years of delays kept it on hold until until a renewed push from the PM and the state CM brought it over the finish line. For most of India, a new train line is just another piece of boring news, but for Sidhi, it is the end of a 78-year wait. Connecting to the national grid changes everything, making travel, jobs, and healthcare finally accessible and affordable.

We have taken all necessary action to ensure that animal welfare activist Jagriti Mishra receives every possible support.

An inquiry into the Junior Engineer’s conduct has been ordered, and police have been directed to register a case against those responsible. District Magistrate has been instructed to assist her in setting up the animal shelter.

Financial assistance of ₹5 lakh from CM Relief Fund has also been assured.

Our government will not tolerate harassment of citizens or misuse of authority. Those found guilty will face strict action under the law.

[ED @dir_ed]

ED conducted coordinated PMLA searches on 23.10.2026 across Mizoram and Manipur in three money-laundering cases linked to cross-border drug trafficking from Myanmar and narco-hawala operations, in coordination with NCB and Mizoram Police.
ED froze 1,424 bank accounts, provisionally attached properties worth ₹17.82 crore, taking total assets secured to over ₹26 crore, and arrested six accused. Arrest proceedings against four more accused are underway.

Keralam is for all Malayalees.

Malayalees alone will decide the present & future of Keralam. Our food, our culture, our celebrations.

Keralam is part of India. Every Malayalee is an also an Indian.

I agree with CMs sentiment in his post. However legitimate questions arise about political culture thats developing in Keralam-

➡️Why do some people glorify Jinnah - a man who divided of India on basis of religions?

➡️Why do some politicians justify, defend and encourage proscribed Terror organisations like Hamas and their violence?

➡️Why do political parties like Cong and CPM hv political alliances with avowed anti-secular, anti-constitution orgn like JamaatEIslami ?

As much as CM @vdsatheesan twists and turns in the political wind to justify this destructive political culture, let this be clear - the only reason some people think they can get away with insults and insensitive behavior (Dont forget this cafe is named after Kashi - the holy hindu city) is because they get a free-pass (encouragement) from Cong/CPM for this

Imagine CM Keralas tweet and response if someone opens a restaurant named after a Muslim holy city and served Pork ? He will find himself being an Ex-CM or fleeing for his life or both.

I was abused and targeted by @pinarayivijayan for speaking against Hamas radicalisation effort in Keralam.

Art 19 - right to free speech and expression applies to every Indian.

Art 19(2) restrictions to free speech apply to every Indian.

So my advise to CM Satheesan is this - ensure sensitivity and respect to ALL Malayalees equally. Hindus, Christians and Muslims.

Do not encourage anti-India , anti-Hindu insults/discourse/actions/sentiment like Jinnah worship.

In that you will have our support.

But selective secularism and selective talk of communal harmony will make you like every other fake politician before you. And we will resist it. Fully. Everytime.
