Tiny hands, pure innocence, and a presence that feels like Maa herself has entered the home. ❤️✨
A civilisation which survived 2 waves of hate infused barbarity, spanning almost 2,000 years without becoming barbaric themselves, has much to be powerfully proud, whilst they hold the line against todays enslavers and barbarians.

A tribal farmer from Wayanad died this week at 74. In his old mud house, he kept more than 60 traditional rice varieties alive.
His name was Cheruvayal Raman. People called him Ramettan.
He belonged to the Kurichya tribe in Wayanad, Kerala. When he was 17, his uncle died, and the family's traditional rice seeds came to him.
Wayanad once had around 160 native rice varieties. Most of them have disappeared.
He grew each old variety in its own small plot. Every year he harvested it, dried the seeds, and stored them in his mud house for the next season.
He stopped using chemical fertiliser in 1978. He said the earthworms came back after that.
It cost him around Rs 70,000 a year. Some years, his family lived on ration rice.
When other farmers came asking, mostly tribal families, he gave them seeds without taking money.
In 2023, he got the Padma Shri. Kerala Agricultural University made him a professor of practice.
He once said, "Don't call me a hero. Make sure the seeds survive. That is enough."
SHOCKING: Two women, Noorjahan and Shainbiya Bibi, have been named in an FIR for pouring fish-cleaning waste and water on a Navratri annaprasadam event in Hyderabad’s Sainikpuri. Noorjahan has been arrested.
Imagine the outrage if someone did this to another community’s religious event!
Despite this provocation, the Hindu community showed restraint. H
The Dance of Fire 🔥
Inside Gujarat’s 70-Year-Old Mashal Raas
In the streets of Jamnagar, Gujarat, Navratri features an extraordinary visual tradition: the Mashal Raas (or Angara Raas).
Dancers move in tight synchronization holding dual flaming torches, dancing barefoot directly over a ground scattered with burning embers.
To the beat of the dhol and traditional chanting, dancers rotate live torches in rhythmic unison.
Where Does It Come From?
Back in the 1950s, local communities in Saurashtra, especially around Jamnagar, began performing this unique form of Garba during Navratri.
Traditionally, it happens late at night during the final days of the festival.
Long before it became a ritual dance, manipulating torches was part of traditional warrior training in Saurashtra, used by soldiers for night patrols and agility drills. Over time, those martial drills transformed into an offering of devotion, formalizing into this community tradition after 1950s.
In Indian tradition, fire represents purity, energy, and inner courage. This is community devotion, focus, and physical discipline in its purest form.

New: Counter Statement by another Harvard India Alumni Group on Protests:
“We are deeply concerned by the negative public discourse and concerted campaign against India’s constitutional institutions, including the Election Commission of India, the Supreme Court, the office of the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India, and Parliament. Also troubling are reports of the use
of Harvard University’s name to lend credibility to a political campaign without appropriate authorisation.
The language used to describe India as being under “siege” and to characterise constitutional authorities as “thieves” or “compromised” raises serious concerns about the intent to undermine public trust in democratic institutions. The actions of law enforcement agencies to uphold public order deserve fair scrutiny, but sweeping accusations and abusive rhetoric cannot substitute for evidence, due process or institutional accountability. The dignity of public servants and the offices they hold must also be respected.
The Constitution, rule of law, and civil liberties must be respected at all times, not just when it suits our interests. Our l commitment must remain to the Constitution, not convenience; to justice, not selective outrage; and to democratic institutions, not the politics of accusation.”
To all the beautiful young patriots in India:
This is not the time to be silent. @abhijeet_dipke and the @Cockroachisback are being funded by donors in the U.S. who are against Prime Minister @NarendraModi and your future under his leadership. Do not fear, my young patriots. Your Prime Minister, who has served India for 25 years, 12 years as Prime Minister, elected three consecutive terms, is not going to bow to disruptive forces from my country.
And these select donors have a pattern globally - target conservative global leaders, find an U.S. educated person from the country, radicalize them, send them back to the country, and fund them to start chaos and destruction. None of them have been successful but have impacted the development and governance of the country.
It is time for a new voice in #India, born, raised, educated on the soil of India, to RISE UP, organize, and peacefully protest the disruptive spirit of the Cockroach Party. There should always be a counter movement to uphold democracy and freedom.
Rise up, young patriots! Rise up!
