When the British entered India, Britain’s GDP was estimated at around $10 billion, while India’s was around $74.3 billion. They arrived as a much smaller economic power and spent centuries ruling and extracting from India.
Between 1875 and 1925, an imperial enterprise systematically slaughtered wildlife for bounties, sport, and forest clearance, killing over 80,000 tigers, 150,000 leopards, 200,000 wolves, 50,000 hyenas, and 2,000 Asiatic lions, along with tens of thousands of elephants and rhinos. The Indian rhinoceros was pushed to fewer than 50 survivors.
Today, India generates roughly $19.1 trillion in GDP at PPP, compared with around $4.7 trillion for the UK.
Protecting our wildlife isn't some extraordinary act of selflessness by a “relatively poor” country. It's simply a country protecting its own natural heritage and fixing the damage left behind by colonial rule.
A dog used to follow pilgrims to a Hindu religious site in Sri Lanka, and videos of it were shared warmly in Sri Lankan Hindu circles.
In late June, offended by the videos, a Muslim man went to the pilgrimage site, located the dog, kicked it, and uploaded the video, sparking outrage. During one such argument, a Sri Lankan Muslim wrote a derogatory post against the Hindu deity.
Anojan Sivarasa, a Sri Lankan Hindu working as a laborer in Saudi Arabia, didn't like the comment and responded with a reply that was allegedly derogatory to the Prophet.
Anojan's well-wisher immediately warned him. He took down the comment and issued a video apology within five minutes in which he said he was responding to an insult to his faith. However, it was too late. Anojan's fellow Sri Lankan Muslims had already taken a screenshot and emailed it to his employer in Saudi Arabia. His employer promptly reported it to the authorities, who arrested Anojan and put him on trial. He has been sentenced to death.
Saudi Arabia rarely reverses a decision once it has made one, but there should be global outrage over this. Blasphemy laws or whatever, the man was only responding to an insult to his faith, deleted the comment, and issued an apology within minutes, yet he will still have to pay with his life while those who provoked him are rejoicing in Sri Lanka. This is unacceptable. Anyone calling themselves a free speech supporter and not opposing this is a hypocrite of the highest order.
"130 million Indians removed from voting" - this is the propaganda being spread around the world now by a coordinated operation.
Let's see where this "130 million" is coming from.
SIR is a constitutionally required revision of electoral rolls as per a section in Art 324, 1950 of the Indian constitution.
The govt has to do it. It was last done in 2003. It must have been done again last decade by 2013, but it was delayed for various reasons.
The world's largest population, India, registers deaths of about 5-6 million people a year (Covid was higher. And as per these same foreign propaganda accounts, it was "millions more").
Since 2003, until 2026 when SIR was done, in 23 years, 138 million Indians have died at 6 million deaths a year. Or 115 million at 5 million deaths a year.
Apart from this, so many Indians migrated to other cities, towns, and states. So they will also be removed from existing rolls as they already have new addresses to vote from.
Now, during 2026 SIR, EC has only made a draft count of Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate entries - and this comes to 130+ million. It is not even final deletion - the list is challenged by parties, people via appeals, goes to court etc to get finalized.
So this "130 million removed from voting in India" is fake news and fear mongering deliberately done to make the world believe "India has deleted 130 million eligible voters in some unconstitutional scam operation."
The fake news and fear mongering is being spread in a coordinated way internationally. Along with planted nothing-burger reports creating doubts on EC and a protest movement on the same in the name of Gen-Z.
The GoI is totally failing in at least fighting the fake news and misinformation.
They seem to have zero independent network to counter these 'paid to post' international SM influencers that don't look like an IT cell defending the govt.
As for any influence in international media - forget it, India seems to have ZERO, while pauper Pakistan seems to run whatever news it wants on major media orgs. Shame.
And Indians themselves are not being educated well by GoI on what's SIR, the need for it etc. Forget fighting the misinfo campaign at international level.
Such gaps in information, communication, and PR is so easy to be used by adversaries for planting their own fake news to turn even Indians against the GoI.
Apathy and ineptitude in fighting infowar and PR cost. No matter how successful we are in internal and external security, and in fighting traditional means of war against the country.
I have said this before and will say it again - everything from some deranged boys throwing stones on Vande Bharat, to a perverted group doing gang rape, to riots in some cities, to protests and huge movements for regime change, are all being triggered and run via Social Media.
If our own people can be easily turned against us using misinfo and fake news within our own country, and we cannot do anything about it, then we are still weak.
This dumbass post by Dipke got 2.1 m views, while Narendra Modi video call with Smit Machchhar hasn’t even crossed 2.5 million views, despite the video being quoted by hundreds of people worldwide.
Western platforms are intentionally suppressing content related to the Modi Govt.
Modi govt has achieved a historic milestone by securing the deportation of hardened narco-trafficking kingpin Navpreet Singh from Türkiye.
Obtaining Turkish citizenship under the fake identity of Navab Virk, he had continued to smuggle heroin and methamphetamine to India from Afghanistan. Our agencies tracked him down, ripping apart veil after veil to unmask his true identity, and secured his deportation. Today he has been brought back to India and put behind bars in connection with cases involving drug trafficking and other crimes he is accused of. Congratulations to all the agencies for this success.
Modi govt is committed to destroying every narco-cartel before Dec 2029.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
