Norway's biggest paper just ran a cartoon of PM Modi as a snake charmer, calling him 'a sneaky and slightly annoying man.'

This isn't journalism. it's colonial-era racism dressed up as commentary. They can't stomach India's rise, so they reach for the same tired stereotypes their grandparents used.

The mask slips every time.

Meet Kanpur Mayor Pramila Pandey.

She has been the Mayor of Kanpur since 2017.

Let’s see what Kanpur actually looks like under her nearly decade-long tenure.

An explosive thread 🧵

[Harinder S Sikka @sikka_harinder]

The lady in clip below is spot on, except for one part. My comment below clarifies it all.

Meghna Gulzar knew that the moment I saw the Director’s Cut, I would object. So she kept it away from me & quietly screened it for Army officers in Delhi, behind my back.

After the release, I spoke the truth, loud & clear. What followed was a calculated attempt by Gulzar & Meghna to discredit & sideline me. I was warned about their questionable integrity. I just couldn’t believe it.

This was not ‘Creative Liberty.’ It was a deliberate, premeditated distortion. And the same pattern resurfaced again in Sam Manekshaw.

India does not have to look far for enemies outside. The gravest betrayals come from the traitors within.

Prime Minister Modi’s aircraft has departed Israel and is now in Saudi airspace.

While he was on the ground in Israel, the odds of the U.S. striking targets inside Iran were close to zero — the risk of retaliation against Israel during Modi’s visit was just too high.

The possibility of U.S. military action is now back on the table.

1858. Banda Fort. British forces "discover" 140 cartloads of gold bricks, 40 lakh rupees, jewels worth 9 crore total.

Nine million sterling. From one location. In one afternoon.

Convert that to 2026 prices: over $100 billion. 💰🏴

The newspaper called it a "large haul." Like finding loose change. They congratulated the Madras Regiment for the "discovery" — as if 140 cartloads of gold just appeared.

This wasn't war. This was organized plunder with documentation.

Banda wasn't unique. It was routine. Multiply this across every fort, every palace, every temple treasury from 1757 to 1947.

We're taught they gave us railways. They don't mention what they loaded onto those trains.

How much wealth did India lose? And why don't our textbooks show receipts?

Found this scam called Akash Tablet launched by Kapil Sibal when he was the Telecom Minister. I'd purchased it. Never worked properly even for a day.

[Bhagyesh Shah @bhaaagyesh]

@michaelmccleary @ViralVideos Correct but to add to it there were 1-2 million Indians casualties (both civilian and military), Indians fought for the British, forced taxes and bonds from India funded British troops

Every single person, EVERYONE in Uttarakhand and across India reacted with sorrow and revulsion to the murder of Anjel and demanded harshest punishment .
And yet, you will find such vultures circling. Trying to drum up hate on outright fake claims.
They don’t care for Anjel.
Sick.

12th September 1948. Jinnah had died the day earlier. The time was perfect for the Indian Army to roll into Hyderabad State and put an end to the atrocities being heaped on Hindus of the State. An angry Nehru, who had committed to Dickie Mountbatten that India wouldn’t take military action against Hyderabad and having been fed stories by his British commanding officers of how the Hyderabad Air Force would bomb Delhi and Bombay and Gen Edroos would roll his tanks across India like Rommel’s Afrika Corps, threatened Sardar Patel that he would look after Hyderabad affairs from now on. The Sardar simply looked at Nehru and without saying a word, walked out of the room.
Operation Polo began the next day. A peacefully sleeping Gen Edroos was awoken by his terrified juniors that the Indian Army was just 30km from Hyderabad city. The Razakars who committed innumerable atrocities against hapless unarmed Hindus ran for their lives without firing a shot when the Indian Army came calling. The Nizam surrendered to KM Munshi, whom he had imprisoned. It was all over. Hyderabad was liberated in just eight days.
A great victory was however followed by a great betrayal that is rarely discussed because the truth is so unpleasant. You will get to read about it soon.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Indian Americans are among the least burdensome and most productive groups in this country, they are high earners, job creators, and taxpayers. They leaned Republican for years… until the white nationalists hijacked the party. You picked the wrong minority to alienate. Fucking nut jobs.

@SelflessCricket Without T20 we wouldn’t have revolutionized ODIs to the same level it is today, also 2 balls were in place for pretty much the full careers of Rohit and Virat. Not saying both of them are not good batsman or not in same class but highlighting comparing them is slippery slope

"Fire on these sons of b!tches"

This day in 1945, hundreds of Indian National Army prisoners of war were gunned down in Nilganj detention camp in Bengal by the British loyalists in the Indian Army. Rather than inquiring, Government of free India covered up this instance of war crime.
