What kind of nonsense is she peddling .

Apart from claiming ridiculously that in liberating Goa the Indian state was acting against its own people , she claims that the Pakistani state hasn’t deployed its army against its own people the way India has.

When ignorance and ideology are mixed you get this turgid brew.

Pakistan used its air force and tanks and forcefully internally displaced hundreds of thousands in operations in South Waziristan (2009) and North Waziristan (2014). Musharraf used artillery to kill Baluch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti in 2006.

The God of Small Things should also have Small Mercies on us by sparing us such spite.

This photo of the sun might not seem too impressive… until you realize it was taken at night - not by looking up but by looking down, straight through the entire Earth, using neutrinos rather than light. Amazing! https://t.co/B11FRgpkkg

Is @ShashiTharoor in @IndianExpress saying that

Make india a presidential democracy instead of parliamentary democracy?

Also if no changes are done will delimitation still not kick in automatically?

How can any other democracy have 850 members no one has this population

Every time I see before and after photos of Varanasi, I feel sad.

How can one person destroy the aesthetics of Varanasi in the name of making it look clean, accessible, and beautiful?

Especially the satellite view of Kashi Vishwanath. Earlier, you could easily spot it on the map by looking at the Gyanvapi dome. Now, the Gyanvapi structure has been pushed into a corner.

Why did you do this, Modi ji?

90% posts i read on the Internet posting about the CJP, have 0 idea about the issue itself! I will not be wrong if i say 99% also.

It’s fashionable to share and comment on a trending topic but most don’t know that they don’t know anything!

Asking your government questions is surely your RIGHT but escalating it after having received the answer is agenda! It’s difficult to go against the heard but it’s time someone speaks up.

May 3- NEET examination. Within 4 days, the NTA detected fraud. The very next day, it informed the police. The investigation began. The Government cancelled the May 3 examination.

May 12 - The Ministry of Education filed a written complaint. The CBI registered the case. Special investigation team (SIT) were formed immediately.

May 15 - Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan addressed the nation. He apologised. Accepted moral responsibility. Announced the re-NEET schedule.

Then came the bigger announcement. From next year, Major national examinations would move towards
computer-based, multi-encrypted testing (CBT). A permanent solution.

June 21.
Fresh NEET examination conducted successfully.

July 16.
Results declared.

Meanwhile,
The CBI moved fast. Arrests began. 13 accused were behind bars.

Why did the matter escalate so much then? And let’s face the fact, is this the first time papers have leaked? But this is surely the first time the government addressed it so quickly & most national exams have moved to CBT so that this does not repeat in the future.

Now you might wonder what’s happening then, Let’s decode the motive!

The joke is on you if you think this is not politically motivated! Let’s talk about the 2 stars of this campaign Abhijeet Dipke and Sonam wangchuk

Abhijeet Dipke was associated with AAP between 2020 to 2023
Sonam’s father was a congress MP and you think this has nothing to do with politics?

Let’s talk about the motive now,

Ofcourse reviving failed political ambition is one but very importantly
FCRA (Foreign contribution Act) bill which is supposed to be tabled in this monsoon season

It’s a know fact how foreign elements fund India NGOs to stall India’s economic growth. Over the last few years a lot of NGO licenses have been cancelled because they have not been able to provide the source of their foreign funding in which one of them was Sonam’s NGO! But the problem so far was that when the license was cancelled the assets of the NGOs were not freezed and hence they were re using the assets to continue their activities is what the FCRA bill intends to stop! Once passed, the license and assets will be frozen if NGOs can’t prove the source of the funding

Now you will ask why would foreign elements fund NGOs and how do NGOs help them?

Latest example is your Nicobar project. The biggest reason why Iran is able to push US back in this war is because it controls the strait of Hormuz from where ~20% of the world’s crude move. India also has this strategic advantage in Nicobar because majority of chinas crude moves from there. So if we build Defense there and control it, will it not hurt China?

Now NGOs are others (you know whom) are funded to stop this from happening and stall India’s development.

So my friend there is a permanent solution offered to the paper leak problem and still if this matter is not getting solved please understand this is beyond paper leak.

Remember, when the cause has a supporter, you are in the right direction but when the cause has a sponsor, you know something is wrong!

I am with you that we should ask questions to the government & could the police situation had been better managed, absolutely a yes but let’s not get played by the vested narrative on the Internet

Also, this is not about CONGRESS, BJP or AAP, I speak because this is about India! I pay tax & vote as well most who don’t do any also have a problem.

Jai hind!

Allow each college to take students on their own and make people aware with ranking qualitative and quantitative. Move govt central and state out of higher education. Charge taxes and run primary education for free. Pay teachers very good salary and build good schools.

Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.

I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.

Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."

Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.

What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.

When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.

In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.

So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

Everyone is posting the exact same launch photo today, so I'll talk about what’s actually cool about Vikram-1 that geeks me out.

​First, the entire rocket is carbon composite, even the motor casings. Most launch vehicles still rely on aluminum and steel. Carbon fiber is incredibly light and strong, but it’s a total nightmare to engineer, which is why almost nobody builds a fully composite rocket. Skyroot nailed it on their very first try.

​Second, the upper stage engine is entirely 3D printed; it completely changes the game for production. Instead of waiting months for hundreds of machined parts, they can print a finished engine in days at half the weight. That is the reason a monthly launch cadence is even on the table.

​Plus, that upper stage can restart mid-flight. That means a single launch can drop different satellites into totally different orbits, which is exactly what small-sat companies pay a premium for.

​But the biggest deal is the strategic angle. Because it uses solid fuel, you can keep the rocket ready to go and launch on short notice without needing a massive launchpad. Right now, that’s just a great commercial selling point. In a few years, it becomes a massive national asset - the ability to replace a satellite in days if you need to.

​This is a huge moment for Indian engineering. Massive congrats to Pawan, Bharath, and the entire Skyroot team.

Clip of an interview of Indira Gandhi from 1984 where she talks about terrorism in Punjab.

She avoids naming Bhindranwale or his org, and largely blames Akalis for the killings. She also avoids naming Hindus as specific target of this hate politics, and makes it more about Sikhs.

While Akalis are not at all doodh ka dhoola and they are largely to blame even for the current wave of rise in Khalistani sentiments (starting with their u-turn on Farm Laws), Indira erred by making it was more about electoral politics than deeper societal problem.

By not talking about Hindus, perhaps thinking that it will be a ‘communal’ thing to do, she ended up erasing some stories and diluting historical narrative.

Politicians of today, especially of the mainstream national parties, must avoid both these mistakes. Though in all likelihood, both will be repeated.
