I've been following the Jensen Huang story for a few days, and I can't shake the feeling we're only being shown half of it.
Yes, there's a real scandal here:
Huang has admitted the affair, and US intelligence believes the woman, a Megaspeed executive, was working for China's Ministry of State Security. That's serious, and it deserves a proper investigation.

But look at who benefits -
For two years, Huang was the biggest single obstacle to a full shutdown of AI chip sales to China. He was in Washington constantly, arguing that cutting China off would just hand the market to Huawei. Like him or not, he was winning that argument more often than the hawks wanted.

Now look at what happened in one news cycle.
His credibility on China is gone.

Anything he says about easing controls will now be read as a possible foreign influence op, whether it is or not.

The US mainstream media works in sync with agencies:

Reporting on H200 buyers in China, with empty offices and links to sanctioned and military-linked firms, lands at the same moment. (NyT)
Together, the two stories make the case for freezing licenses and closing the Southeast Asia loophole almost unanswerable.
And Nvidia's board has opened an independent investigation into its own founder, while House committees on China, foreign affairs and intelligence start digging into the company's security. That's a level of oversight Washington could never have imposed on the world's most valuable company otherwise.

Here's one interesting detail that bothers me most:
A memo about this alleged spy reportedly circulated among US policymakers earlier this year. So the concern wasn't new. The question is why it went public NOW, at the exact moment the export-control fight was coming to a head.
None of this means the spy allegation is false. It means someone may have decided when the public would hear about it, and what it would be used for.
Watch the closed-door hearing. If it ends with tighter controls and Nvidia on a short leash, ask yourself whether this was ever really about an affair.

To be fair, there's a simpler explanation for the timing. The New York Times had been reporting on this for more than a week, starting with an Oct. 29 story on U.S. intelligence officials' conclusions about Alice Huang, and the board probe followed Huang's own admission. Lawmakers from both parties are also calling for investigations, which doesn't fit neatly with a single coordinated operation.

Big mistake. They voted to punish him.

The country is under a constitutional crisis. There was a near coup de etat just two days back. PM Tusk and the President are at logger heads....
Who on earth in Poland is expecting the Indian minister there?
But Indian diplomats are a different breed.

"Indentured"- 17th-century immigrants who traded years of labor in American colonies in exchange for boat passage.

It has a strange colonial context that is deeply offending to India.

Behold once again, Indian Media's fetish for the facade.
Observe the distinguished diplomat, armed with a script that even the punctuation appears to have been cleared through highest channels. She reads every syllable with the solemnity of a person trying to diffuse a bomb, lest the dreadful contingency arise that might actually think and utter something of her own accord.

You don’t train, you pick talent” —

Right! And how exactly do you identify talent?

The US Army PSYOP Qualification Course at Fort Liberty runs roughly a year: regional studies, a foreign language, target-audience analysis, media production.
Nobody is “picked and honed” into that. They’re taught it.
Same story elsewhere. The UK stood up 77th Brigade in 2015 specifically to build a trained, doctrine-backed information cadre. NATO set up a Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence in Riga in 2014 to run courses, research and red-teaming for all member forces. Nations don’t build schoolhouses for a talent-scouting exercise.

Now the real problem with that sweeping statement of yours- ‘it is propaganda’ NO, Gen, it is not!

Propaganda is one-way messaging. Modern information warfare is a contested, two-sided fight over an entire information environment. It includes:
• Counter-disinformation & fact-checking at speed
• OSINT — Bellingcat-style analysis exposed Russian units at MH17 and in Ukraine using open data
• Cyber and electronic warfare — Estonia was knocked offline in 2007; Russia’s 2015 attack cut power to ~230,000 Ukrainians
• Deception & signature management (Ukraine’s decoy HIMARS, wooden launchers)
• Protecting your own troops’ phones and metadata from targeting
None of that is “propaganda.” Most of it is defensive.

Your adversaries certainly don’t think it’s just propaganda. China formalised its “Three Warfares” (public opinion, psychological, legal) into PLA doctrine in 2003. Russia’s General Staff has argued for years that non-military means now outweigh kinetic ones. NATO calls the newest layer “cognitive warfare” — attacking how people decide, not just what they see.

Nobody denies militaries also do influence messaging, but calling this entire space as mere “propaganda” is like calling cybersecurity “just spam.”

[Birender Dhanoa @bsdhanoa]

@ajaynewsman @thetribunechd @HQ_IDS_India @CENJOWS @adgpi Laughable stuff. You don’t train. You pick talent and hone it for such propaganda (and let’s be clear it is propaganda). And you ensure that there’s a common thread that runs through the three services for such purpose, which is aligned with the national narrative.

Interesting:

US Media reporting that after 5 failed attempts to get PM .@narendramodi Ji on phone, Trump agreed to Bharat's key demands in Trade Deal. Only then, Modi Ji tentatively agreed to meeting with Trump in France.

More Interesting:

US has included Modi-Trump meet on 17 June in official itinerary but Bharat Sarkar hasn't. Modi Ji's itinerary just mentions 'bilateral meetings with leaders on sidelines of summit'.

US seems more excited about the meeting than Bharat.

From Brasstacks to Bra Straps

If you want to kill an army- kill its spirit first.

Start with questioning every decision of the Brass. Call them names, use slur innuendos and outright abuse. Let the accusations of incompetence, bribery and corruption fly thick and fast- don’t worry about the evidence- make it up as you go. Every time Brass takes a pause to breathe and reflect on things- give them शत्रुबोध.

Follow up with the family- calling out tattoos and bra straps. Invade the sanctum- violate the privacy- pick from personal and private moments and find flaws with dresses, locations and places of study. if that doesn’t work- there are always Tattoos to mock. Pass off your misogyny as nationalism. There is nothing more manly than 'कट्टर देशभक्त' in the profile name.

Pick on the young- soldiers and officers. Give them lectures on weapons to tactics (and everything in between). Don’t forget to berate them for their failings. When out of talking points- use religion or working conditions to create schism. Call yourself the guardians of the faith- true सनातनी. It works everytime

All you need is a bunch of entitled and pompous clowns, who have never done any service to the nation. Hiding behind anon handles, egged on by cheerleaders with large followership, these dingbats will ragebait the whole day. A tough sounding profile name, free wifi and a sense of entitlement are the only few qualifications.

That’s it- that’s the formula for killing an army- Kill the spirit- coz that’s the glue that holds it together under fire.

General Anil Chauhan #CDS, formally launched the Tri-Services Tele Directory Web Application. The application has been developed inhouse by DG Signals.

Envisioned as part of the initiative to promote enhanced integration, the initiative represents a significant milestone in strengthening coordination, improving operational efficiency and fostering integrated functioning across the Defence Forces.

[PIB Fact Check @PIBFactCheck]

An Instagram video by the account (casarthakahuja) is claiming that all Indian citizens must obtain an income-tax clearance certificate (ITCC) every time before leaving the country.

#PIBFactCheck

❌ This claim is #FAKE

✅ Under Section 230, tax clearance certificates are not mandatory for everyone; they are only required for specific individuals under certain legal circumstances. This rule has remained unchanged since 2003, even after the amendments vide Finance (No. 2) Act, 2024.

[Tarique Rahman @trahmanbnp]

March 25, 1971 is observed as Genocide Day. On the occasion of Genocide Day, 1 pay my deepest respect to all the martyrs.

In the history of freedom-loving Bangladesh, 25 March 1971 remains one of the most disgraceful and brutal days. On that dark night, the Pakistani occupation forces carried out one of the most heinous genocides in history against the unarmed people of Bangladesh in the name of 'Operation Searchlight".

They indiscriminately opened fire on teachers, intellectuals and innocent civilians at various places, including Dhaka University, Pilkhana and Rajarbāgh Police Lines, killing many people.

The genocide of 25 March was a pre-planned massacre. Why this organised killing spree could not be resisted remains a matter of historical research regarding the visible role of the political leadership of that time.

However, on the night of 25 March, the 8th East Bengal Regiment in Chattogram formally initiated armed resistance against the genocide by declaring 'We Revolt'. Through this resistance to genocide, the long nine-month armed Liberation War began.

To convey the value and significance of independence to the present and future generations, it is essential to know about the genocide of 25 March as well. Let us all strive to honour the sacrifices of the martyrs by establishing in the state and society the spirit of the great Liberation War - equality, human dignity and social justice.

Let us work together to build a just, developed, prosperous, self-reliant and democratic Bangladesh.

I pray to the Almighty Allah to grant forgiveness and eternal peace to the departed souls of all the martyrs.

On the occasion of Genocide Day on 25 March. I wish every success to all the programmes organised to observe the day.
