Apparently, in March 1978, Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi gave a speech in a RSS Shakha in Punjab after saluting the saffron flag.

A few months ago, the entire Hindu Twitter debated 'Bhajan Clubbing' like crazy. Some called it "degeneracy", while others called it "spiritual revival." Many supported it as a 'gateway', while others dismissed it as 'vibes'. When I actually studied the phenomenon, I realised it is much more than a black-and-white debate and demands a nuanced explanation. So I went on the ground and created the:

Best Explanation of Gen-Z's BHAJAN CLUBBING | Bhakti or Vibes?

The video features nuanced arguments from both sides, insights from traditional scholars, organisers, and questions that go beyond surface-level takes. Please do check out the full video on my YouTube channel - Prateek Express. Link is in the next tweet.

कौन था वह
जिसने तुम्हारी बाँहों के आवर्त में
गरिमा से तनकर समय को ललकारा था !

कौन था वह
जिसकी अलकों में जगत् की समस्त गति
बँधकर पराजित थी !

कौन था वह
जिसके चरम साक्षात्कार का एक गहरा क्षण
सारे इतिहास से बड़ा था, सशक्त था !

During the interview for the Indian Civil Services in pre-1947 era, an Indian named RN Noronha was asked “Tell me, Mr Noronha, apart from the salary, what attracted you to the I.C.S.?" He replied with another question “Apart from the salary, is there any attraction?”

The man went on to top the list of Indian candidates.

Gulzarilal Nanda, acting Prime Minister of India for two 13-day tenures and home minister in Indira's govt. was quite a Hindu traditionalist.
- associated with Swami Karpatriji
- gave interviews to RSS journal- Organiser and told them ‘Sadhus can be a political asset in a religious country’
- met with Golwalkar and asked for his help in maintenance of law and order
- defended RSS in the parliament as a cultural institution

[Bloomberg @business]

Bloomberg has retracted a post on X based off an inaccurate Bloomberg Economics report https://t.co/XtCWbLM03p https://t.co/JrW6Pymib4

Smooth demolition of the sellout foreign analysts in this thread!

[Indian Strategic Studies Forum @ISSF_India]

Did the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) secretly sell USD 12 BILLION of its gold reserves to defend the Rupee?

A recent Bloomberg report claimed exactly that.

The RBI and Indian Govt stepped in, calling the report "FAKE". So, who is right?

Let’s break down the exact math that Bloomberg and other so called Economist used to fool the public. 🧵👇

When Patel praised RSS as ‘patriots who love their country’ in January 1948, Muslims complaint to Gandhi against him. Gandhi replied back that it was Muslim community which had to change its mentality and ‘forget the lesson which has been taught to them of the two Nation theory.’
