This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.
First thoughts:
1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.
2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.
We must keep these two ideas in mind.
What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?
We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100+ billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.
Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.
Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Chad Indian men performing Kalaripayattu.
It is a 3000 year old ancient martial art that originated in Kerala, India.
It is considered the mother of all martial arts, including Kung Fu and Karate.
This gets worse.
So not only did the US Navy fire two missiles and kill three Indian sailors they refused to rescue the 24 Indian crew despite saying they are on fire, the vessel is sinking and that they are an all Indian crew.
The Omanis rescued them.
Pakistan poverty rate surged to 28.9% in FY2024-25, reversing years of progress and pushing millions more Pakistanis below the poverty line.
Meanwhile, education spending fell sharply to just 0.8% of GDP in FY2025, down from 1.5% in FY2023.

TMC MPs are EXPOSING TMC now❗️
Rebel TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh writes sensational letter to West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari.
“TMC RS MP Ahmed Hassan Imran, Bano's close aide, is allegedly associated with Extremist JuM in Bangladesh & SIMI”😡
As of 2026, Tamil Nadu is the only state in India that does not have any Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs). As the name indicates, this policy was formulated when Congress was in power and the BJP has continued it.
It is generally a bad idea for one state to keep resisting policies every other state, including non-BJP states, accept.
DMK pursued that arrogant policy and lost.
Given that the Congress is in the ruling alliance in Tamil Nadu, I hope they push for Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya schools in the interest of our Tamil Nadu students.
Accepting Jawahar Navodaya Schools would not lose a single vote and in fact may win many votes from grateful parents. Pragmatism in such matters is politically wise.

Pale Cave with 1st Century BCE Inscription✨
The hilly region of Maharashtra on the western coast of India is famous for a long and rich tradition of rock-cut architecture, with world heritage Buddhist and Brahmanical sites such as Ajanta, Ellora and Elephanta.
With the exception of Ellora, little is known about the Jaina caves in the region, although some were briefly mentioned in early reports of the Archaeological Survey of India in the mid-late 19th century. This was at a time when there was general confusion between Jain icons and Buddha which resulted in many caves being attributed as Buddhist, which typically persisted even in caves where there was no iconography to be found at all.
Entrance to Pale Cave
In the intervening 150 years our understanding of rock-cut caves has increased dramatically. Today about 70 Jaina caves have been identified in the hilly regions of Maharashtra distributed across 19 sites, dating from the 1st century BCE to the 14/15th century CE. All these caves are attributed to the Jains, and surprisingly there are still new discoveries occurring in a region you would think has already been extensively explored.
