The Legendary 17 Parachute Field Regiment 🇮🇳 – Honoring Courage, History, and Glory
A unit with unmatched bravery, illustrious history, and battle honors like Zojila and Poongli Bridge. From World War II to modern operations, here’s the story of the 17 Para Field Regiment of the Indian Army. 🧵👇
1975-77: 1,10,806 people detained without trial (Shah Commission). Citizens barred from courts over their fundamental rights. Elections postponed. JP, Vajpayee, Advani and Morarji Desai jailed. Ruthless already has a gold medallist. https://t.co/nKtkGzOYgM
In all, Narendra Modi has abused his powers more ruthlessly and over a longer period than any other Indian leader. And yet, Indian democracy is more resilient than many make out https://t.co/THcVFRWS0J
Neha, अख़बार में “निजी हाथों में सौंपे जाएँगे” लिखा था तो तूने तुरंत हिंदू खतरा + अखंड भारत जोड़ दिया?
ये PPP है। मालिकाना हक सरकार का ही रहेगा। अंबेडकरनगर, बांदा, बरेली, चित्रकूट के चार अस्पतालों में स्पेशलिस्ट और सुपर-स्पेशलिस्ट लाने के लिए किया जा रहा है क्योंकि सरकारी सिस्टम में डॉक्टरों की कमी और absenteeism दशकों से चल रहा है।
अगर अस्पताल चलाना नहीं आता तो देश कैसे चल रहा है? रेलवे, सड़कें, AIIMS, डिफेंस, UPI, सब सरकारी ही हैं। बस हेल्थ में जहाँ डॉक्टर नहीं पहुँच रहे थे वहाँ प्राइवेट एक्सीलेंस लाने की कोशिश हो रही है।
और “देश भी निजी हाथों में सौंपा जा चुका है” वाला कॉन्स्पिरेसी थ्योरी वाला गाना छोड़। तू फोकसिंगर है, फैक्ट-चेकर नहीं। अख़बार पढ़कर हिंदू-अखंड भारत का जोड़ लगाना बंद कर।
अख़बार में ख़बर है कि चार सरकारी अस्पताल निजी हाथों में सौंपे जाएँगे. क्या ऐसा करने से हिंदू खतरे से बाहर आ जाएगा? अखंड भारत के निर्माण के लिए अस्पतालों का निजीकरण क्यों जरूरी है?
अगर ये सरकार अस्पताल नहीं चला पा रही है तो फिर ये देश कैसे चल रहा है? कहीं ऐसा तो नहीं कि ये देश भी निजी हाथों में सौंपा जा चुका है और हमें पता ही नहीं है? सरकार चलाने वाले निजी हाथ आख़िर किसके हैं?

Pakistani media and social media handles are busy running campaigns telling people, “Don’t visit India, it’s not safe.”
Seriously? Let’s talk about what happened at Minar-e-Pakistan on Pakistan’s own Independence Day.
A woman was surrounded by a mob of over 400 men. Her clothes were torn, she was groped, assaulted and thrown around in broad daylight. The video went viral, and police registered a case against 400 unidentified men.
And the reaction from large sections of Pakistani society? Instead of standing with the victim, people started blaming her. “She asked for it.” “It was staged.” “Not all men.” The same excuses, the same victim-blaming.
The US and UK have issued serious travel warnings for Pakistan, citing terrorism, crime and kidnapping. Large parts of Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and areas near the LoC face warnings against travel. Even in 2026, there are reports of women being surrounded by angry mobs in Karachi after minor road accidents.
Meanwhile, India welcomes millions of foreign tourists, including women travelling alone, every year.
Yet Pakistani media handles somehow think they’re qualified to lecture India about women’s safety.
Nobody is claiming India has zero crime or that every Indian street is perfectly safe. But running a coordinated campaign to paint India as dangerous while ignoring mob violence and victim-blaming in your own country is hypocrisy.
Maybe start by questioning the men who assaulted that woman and the people who defended them before preaching to India about safety.
So remind me again, who’s lecturing whom about safety?
2020 gang rape of a French tourist on the Sialkot-Lahore Motorway. The victim was travelling with her three children when her vehicle ran out of fuel and she was attacked after being dragged from the car.
#Pakistan is Safe saaar #P0rkistan is safe saaar 🤬

A female tourist visiting India was allegedly raped and mistreated, and her hair was also cut off. This incident raises serious concerns about women's safety in India, not only for foreign tourists but also for ordinary Muslim women living there.

Rishi bhai, 22 likes and you’ve already appointed yourself a film trade analyst?
Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana is apparently a vanity project. North India has been ignored. The ₹4,000 crore budget is a PR stunt. Hans Zimmer’s music isn’t devotional enough. Ranbir and Sai Pallavi have no chemistry. And now two different cuts are supposedly another marketing disaster.
Dude, the film hasn’t even been fully released and you’ve already written its obituary.
Since when did putting a producer’s name on a major film become a scandal? Baahubali, RRR and Kalki all pursued international audiences. Why exactly should Ramayana limit itself to India?
And having a longer Indian cut and a tighter international version isn’t some grand conspiracy. Different versions for different markets aren’t unheard of.
As for the ₹4,000 crore figure, trade reports have been throwing around budget estimates for ages. Question the numbers all you want, but don’t treat every reported figure as an audited production expense.
The VFX, Hans Zimmer’s score and Ranbir-Sai’s chemistry deserve criticism if they don’t work. But shouldn’t we actually see the finished film before declaring all three failures?
You’ve listed six “major missteps” with the confidence of someone who attended every marketing meeting at Namit Malhotra’s office.
Then, after declaring the whole thing a PR disaster, you casually end with “drop your thoughts.”
Of course. Nothing brings engagement quite like manufacturing a controversy before the audience has even watched the film.
If the audience genuinely feels disconnected, the reviews and box office will make that clear.
Until then, your 5,000-view thread with 22 likes isn’t exactly a trade report.
The audience will decide whether Ramayana succeeds. Not your prematurely written X thread.
Was the execution of #Ramayana doomed by its own marketing choices? 🤔
Across X and trade forums, the audience has highlighted these major missteps:
> The Tag ("Namit Malhotra's Ramayana"): Putting a producer's vanity name on a sacred epic turned off core fans right away.
> Ignoring North India: Zero real ground promotions in the Hindi heartland. They ran to LA premieres and international press, forgetting the main domestic audience.
> Confusion Over 2 Cuts: Cutting 30 minutes for the West while giving India a 195-minute version created unnecessary confusion about the story's pacing.
> Flexing the ₹4,000 Cr Budget: Boasting about massive money set an impossible visual bar that the actual VFX couldn't match.
> Music Disconnect: Even with AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer, the score feels like a Western action film instead of hitting deep devotional roots.
> Wrong Pitching & Casting: The promotion made it look more like a Yash action film, while Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi lacked classic screen connection.
Big budgets don't matter if you disconnect from the real audience.
Is this the biggest PR failure for a mega-budget Indian movie recently?

Sunday night, 22:47 Kyiv time. Phones across Ukraine go red. Radiation threat in Kyiv. Then a chemical threat. Then "street fighting is taking place in Kyiv. Don't go outside."
None of it was real. Ukraine's official Air Alert app had been hacked. One message, in Russian, gave the game away: "Hi! There will be a nuclear alert across Ukraine. Don't worry, it's Oreshnik flying." In Lviv region the fake alert even set off radiation warnings on loudspeakers.
A few hours later Russia's Emergencies Ministry said its own app had taken "a massive cyberattack" and pushed fake information to the public. Atesh, a Ukrainian partisan group, shared what it said was the Russian alert: nuclear warheads on drones headed for every region, stock up on food for three weeks and hide.
Same night, same lesson on both sides. An alert app is the most trusted voice on your phone. Whoever gets the keys gets that voice.
What held up was the old stuff. Sirens, TV, radio, SMS. Russia's ministry called its app "only an additional, ancillary" service. Ukraine's app team switched off push notifications and told people not to click links in suspicious alerts.
Kyiv got lucky in one way. The hackers wrote in the wrong language.

@sabeer The same clowns who think telling a child “no” kills critical thinking throw a tantrum every time someone tells them “no”, then spend their entire adult lives parroting the same five opinions like toddlers with Wi-Fi.
@Anushitiwari22@DelhiPolice Haan Khala, Lahore vich baith ke tainu Delhi sarhdi vi dikh gayi? Wah ji wah, nazar taan baaz ton vi tez aa, bas sach vekhan vele kamzor ho jandi aa.
Come on Taklu Uncle Calling it “misplaced loyalty” is ridiculous.
We’re talking about an Indian company whose ports handle nearly 30% of the country’s cargo and which operates several major airports. You think protecting infrastructure of that scale is just about defending a billionaire?
Every major economy protects its strategic infrastructure. Ports, airports, power plants and logistics networks keep businesses running and millions of people employed.
Of course, the company should face scrutiny and be held accountable for any wrongdoing. But there’s a difference between demanding accountability and wanting a major Indian infrastructure company to collapse.
A billionaire losing money is one thing. Critical infrastructure being disrupted is a problem for the entire country.
Funny how protecting national infrastructure suddenly becomes “blind loyalty” when the company happens to be Indian-owned.
Indians have a strange understanding of nationalism. They seem more concerned about protecting Adani’s rights than protecting their own economic future. When did defending a billionaire become more patriotic than defending the interests of 1.4 billion Indians? That’s not nationalism. That’s misplaced loyalty.
