On a lighter note 🎵🎶 Bharatanatyam meets Michael Jackson. I personally, I think it's genius. It introduces many people into Indian culture and their dance. I love this 😍
The 2026 FIFA worldcup semifinals start from tomorrow. I usually keep sports separate from politics or history.
But just out of curiosity, I wanted to identify the country which has done the least historic crimes, among these four, so that I can cheer for it..
And the results:
England (British):
> $45 trillion looted from India.
> 1943 Bengal Famine where 3 million people died.
> Millions of Africans forcibly captured, transported, and subjected to chattel slavery in the Americas to fuel the colonial plantation economy.
> Genocide in Australia.
> Massive loot in Africa.
> Concentration camps in South Africa.
...the list is very long.
Spain:
> The native populations of the Caribbean and Mexico dropped by up to 90% in the first century of Spanish occupation.
> Enslavement and forced deportation of millions of African people to the Americas to fuel mining and agricultural industries.
> Forcing Indigenous peoples into grueling, often fatal labor in gold and silver mines (such as Potosí) and on plantations.
> The violent Spanish Inquisition.
France:
> Killing of 500,000 to 1.5 million Algerians, thousands in Madagascar and Senegal, and 400,000 in Cameroon.
> 17 nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara (Reggane and In Ecker), exposing local populations to severe radiation.
> Supporting the Hutu-led government leading to the 1994 Rwanda genocide.
> Transatlantic slave trade to Haiti and Guadeloupe.
Argentina:
> More than 60% of Argentina has descended from the Spanish, whose crimes are listed above.
> The systematic removal of Blacks from Argentina's demographics over the past 200 years. From one third of Buenos Aires population at one point, today Blacks are less than 1% of Argentina.
Now I am confused.. Any team to cheer from these four, after factoring in their history over the past 500 years??
The self-immolation of Tibetan Lobga Rangzen outside the UN headquarters in New York marks a tragic moment amid China's growing repression in Tibet. While more than 150 Tibetans have self-immolated inside Tibet since 2009, such protests on U.S. soil are exceedingly rare.
The act appears to have been driven by deep frustration over China's newly enacted "Ethnic Unity Law," which seeks to accelerate the forced assimilation of Tibetans and other ethnic minorities while extending Beijing's reach against dissent abroad. With China's pervasive surveillance and censorship making protest inside Tibet nearly invisible, Rangzen chose the UN — a place beyond Beijing's censorship — to draw international attention.
The self-immolation is widely seen as an expression of profound desperation. It highlights growing despair among many Tibetans that, after years of declining global attention, only the most extreme form of sacrifice can force the world to confront Tibet's plight. https://t.co/3Z3ekJP3UJ
Congratulations to Narendra Modi on becoming India’s longest serving PM.
He hasn’t just held office, he’s dramatically improved his country, with more infrastructure, better IT, and practical things like power and sanitation extended to remote villages.
Under Modi, India has become the world’s third superpower while maintaining free elections, a riotously free media and a robustly independent judiciary.
But for him, and the late Shinzo Abe, there would be no Quad so the entire free world owes him a debt of gratitude.
India has sent 96 people to America who started billion dollar companies. No one else is even close.
There's only about 5 million Indians in America. Almost one in 50,000 of them is a unicorn founder!
What a holy, special, beautiful people.
I will always fight for them.
Why is the West not curious on the great Indian 🇮🇳 civilization?
This week Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Norway. The government rolled out the red carpet. King Harald invited for lunch. All bigwigs of Norwegian business turned up. This is of course as it should be at such a historic visit.
Rather different was media. No curiosity, no real attempt to understand India. When the third most powerful man in the world visits Norway, you may expect some real interest? An attempt to understand the world’s third largest economy, a global green leader, one of the world’s brightest civilizations??
It’s not that Norway is overrun with visit at this level. Last Indian top visit was Indira Gandhi in 1983. Last Chinese president visit was 1996, last American president was 2009.
Here are some taste bits from Norwegian media:
* Aftenposten the largest newspaper printed a caricature of Modi as a snake charmer, many found it racist and derogatory. The accompanying article (written by an otherwise brilliant journalist) described Modi as a “slightly annoying man” and simply showcased that India is not high on the papers reading lists.
* Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), the state broadcaster, explained “why prime minister Støre is clearing his desk to receive Modi”. From everyone outside Norway I got exactly the opposite question: Why did Modi use his valuable time in such a small and insignificant place?
* Dagsavisen, a left of center daily, sent a young journalist to throw questions after Modi - claiming that India is 157 on a global democracy ranking. When a ranking is so contrary to common sense - why doesnt she ask those who created the ranking why they spread such nonsense?
I am not aware of one Norwegian journalist closely following India. NOT ONE! How can the public learn more?
Unless you believe democracy only fits a handful of small, homogenous, ultra rich western nations, India is the miracle of democracy. The large, complex, lingustically and religiously diverse nation with many poor people - which has etablished a vibrant democracy and is much less violent than Europe or America.
India can in fact make a claim to be the worlds most homegrown and impressive democracy.
We are entering the Asian century. Unless we Europeans become more curious - to civiliazation, history, politics and economy in the Global South - we will become the big losers of history.
In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
India is at war.
Not with bombs.
Not with missiles.
But with something far more brutal.
In 1192, Muhammad of Ghor walked in.
In 1526, Babur came through Panipat.
In 1757, the British Empire won Plassey.
And India fell.
Each time.
But this time is different.
The enemy has no face.
The battlefield has no border.
The weapon is invisible.
Until it isn't.
$1 = ₹96.
₹100 is next.
Forex reserves bleeding.
Markets in panic.
Social media screaming.
But wait.
Is this really about the economy?
Or is something far more sinister?
It was 2022.
The world demanded India condemn Russia.
India stayed silent.
It was 2023.
Stop buying Russian oil, they said.
India kept buying.
It was 2025.
In Rio de Janeiro.
At the BRICS Summit.
PM Of India stood up.
"BRICS is not anti-West.
It is simply non-West."
The West heard it.
And panicked.
Because BRICS today is not a club.
It is 11 nations.
46% of the world's population.
40% of global GDP.
A quarter of global trade.
Brazil.
Russia.
China.
India.
South Africa.
Iran.
UAE.
Saudi Arabia.
Under one roof.
Chaired by India.
In 2026.
With a summit in September.
That summit is the real story.
Six weapons deployed by BRICS.
1. CBDC interoperability.
Countries pay each other directly.
No dollar.
No SWIFT.
2. Local currency trade.
India already pays Russia in rupees.
The western system cracks.
3.NDB replacing the IMF.
No political conditions.
No forced alignment.
4. Hormuz and energy security.
India chairs the room.
Where Iran and UAE both sit.
Only India speaks to everyone.
5. UN Security Council reform.
46% of humanity.
Zero permanent seats.
Now, India will have a seat at the table.
6. Critical minerals cooperation.
Lithium. Cobalt. Rare earth.
All in BRICS territory.
The raw material of the future.
Six ruthless missiles.
Aimed at Western hegemony.
Launched from New Delhi.
In September.
Now tell me.
If you were the West.
What would you do?
When you can't stop the meeting.
You make the host bleed.
Five tools get deployed.
1. Currency pressure.
The rupee's value is decided in Singapore and London.
Not in India.
2. FII leverage.
₹1.14 lakh crore pulled out.
In one month.
3. Narrative warfare.
Every headline screams collapse.
Panic triggers more selling.
More selling weakens the rupee.
4. Trade deal conditionality.
America offered tariff relief.
The fine print said: Stop buying Russian oil.
Or the tariffs return.
5. Technology access.
Semiconductors.
AI chips.
Tejas jet engines.
All US controlled.
All can be switched off.
5 tools.
One target.
September 2026.
India is not passive.
India is fighting it with full force.
But here is what you see instead.
Influencers screaming collapse.
Anchors declaring failure.
Timelines flooded with panic.
None of them explained the September summit.
None connected the rupee to BRICS.
None named the five tools.
Ask yourself why.
India is not collapsing.
India is being pressured.
There is a difference.
11 Years of Governance Failure.
That is why Modi is asking us to buy less gold.
That is why Modi is asking us to save fuel.
Brilliant logic.
Except it is completely wrong.
Before you repeat that narrative.
Look at what 11 years actually built.
Not as BJP Supporter.
Not as Congress Supporter.
Let us count the failures.
One by one.
In 2013.
Per capita income: Rs 74,920 a year.
Today: Rs 2,05,324 a year.
Nearly 3x.
In 2013.
4 crore homes had no electricity.
Today: 99.5% electrified.
In 2013.
23.87 crore Indians had internet.
Today: 102.8 crore.
Four times the population of USA.
Mobile subscribers today: 116 crore.
Data cost in 2014: Rs 308 per GB.
Data cost today: Rs 9.34 per GB.
97% cheaper.
UPI did not exist in 2013.
Today, 21.7 billion transactions per month.
Accepted in 12 countries.
Highways in 2013: 91,287 km.
Highways today: 1,46,560 km.
11 km per day then.
34 km per day now.
Expressways in 2013: 93 km.
Expressways today: 3,052 km.
3,180% growth.

100 plus countries.
Made in India defence: 25% in 2013.
Made in India defence: 68% today.
NAViC.
BrahMos.
Semiconductor mission.
Nuclear capacity doubled.
A warship every 6 weeks.
If India was failing.
Why is energy demand exploding?
700 Mtoe in 2013.
1,213 Mtoe today.
Nearly double.
Mtoe = Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent
A failing economy does not double its energy demand.
A roaring one does.
Fossil fuels in power: 90% in 2013.
73% today.
Renewables: 12% in 2013.
50% today.
This is a civilisation in mid-flight.
Hit by a storm it did not create.
Brazil.
Turkey.
Indonesia.
All falling faster than the rupee.
Nobody writes those headlines.
Modi's speech was not weakness.
It was a war communication.
A message to OPEC: India will not beg.
Ask who benefits from the "India failed" narrative.
Ask who profits when Indians lose faith in India.
That is the real war.
Fought with words.
With headlines.
With manufactured despair.
India has survived invasions.
Colonisation.
Partition.
Sanctions.
It will survive this too.
The temporary pain is real.
Accept it.
The destination is permanent.
Believe it.
Forget killing cancer cells. South Korea just figured out how to talk them back into being normal.
Scientists at KAIST in Daejeon have done something the world has been chasing for decades.
They found a molecular switch that flips cancer cells back into healthy cells.
No chemo. No radiation. No destroying anything.
Just… reversal.
Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho and his team caught cancer in the act. That tiny window where a normal cell is on the edge of turning malignant but hasn't fully crossed over yet. They call it the "critical transition" — the same kind of jump that happens when water hits 100°C and becomes steam.
In that split-second window, the cell is unstable. Normal and cancerous at the same time.
And that's exactly where they hit the switch.
In colon cancer trials, they targeted three master genes — MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 — and the cancer cells didn't die.
They went back to being healthy intestinal cells. Like nothing ever happened.
The team built a digital twin of the gene network to map every move a cell makes on its way to becoming cancerous. Then they reverse-engineered the path home.
Their paper landed in Advanced Science, published by Wiley.
It's still early. Lab trials and mice. Human treatment is years away.
But the idea of curing cancer without killing a single cell is no longer science fiction.

Lenskart cannot respect your bindi.
Not because they hate you.
Because they literally cannot afford to.
Let me show you exactly why.
Peyush Bansal tweeted:
"We are proudly built in Bharat, for Indians."
Beautiful line.
Terrible lie.
Start with the factory.
Lenskart's India plant opened in 2023.
Before that, China joint venture.
That JV still runs today.
Frames.
Raw materials.
Supply chain.
All from China.
Indian factory mostly assemble.
Now look at who owns this "Bharatiya" company.
Peyush Bansal: 10.28%
Neha Bansal: 7.74%
Amit Chaudhary: 0.98%
Sumeet Kapahi: 0.96%
All four founders combined: 20%.
The remaining 80%?
SoftBank: Japan.
Temasek: Singapore.
ADIA: Abu Dhabi.
KKR: New York.
Fidelity: Boston.
Now here is what nobody tells you.
Every foreign investor runs ESG compliance.
Before writing a cheque.
ESG = Environmental, Social, Governance.
A scoring system that has nothing to do with Environment.
Built in New York and Amsterdam.
It decides who gets capital.
Inside ESG lives another animal.
Called DEI.
Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.
DEI was designed in America.
Built on American horrors.
Black minorities.
Gender wars.
LGBTQ rights.
Never designed for India.
Does not understand India.
Here is what DEI scores as "positive":
Hijab at work = Positive signal.
Turban at work = Positive signal.
Here is what DEI marks as risk:
Bindi = Majority religion marker.
Tilak = Majority religion.
Kalawa = Majority religion.
In Western DEI logic,
The majority is the oppressor.
Majority does not need protection.
So when Lenskart's HR writes a grooming policy,
They are not writing for you.
They write for their colonial masters.
Because Lenskart is chasing a $10 billion IPO.
Does your bindi sit anywhere in that number?
Their first customer is not you.
Their first customer is SoftBank.
Their first customer is ADIA.
Their first customer is an ESG agency in Amsterdam.
You buy one pair of glasses.
They invest $500 million.
Do the math on who Lenskart listens to.
Now the government.
You think they don't know?
They know everything.
Every ministry understands how foreign capital
erases civilizational identity.
SEBI approved the DRHP.
Not one clause protecting Hindu identity.
Because the government also wants the IPO.
GST. Tax. Economic headline.
Your kalawa / kada is not in that equation.
This is not a Lenskart problem.
This is every unicorn in India.
Swiggy.
Zomato.
Ola.
Meesho.
Zepto.
Check their cap tables.
Check the ESG reports.
Check the grooming policies in their HR folders.
Every company 60-80% owned by foreign capital
is a branch office of Western values.
"Built in Bharat" is a tagline.
"For Indians" is a marketing campaign.
The policy document tells you who they serve.
Your Bindi.
Your Kalawa.
Your Kada.
Your 5,000 years.
Irrelevant to billionaires chasing an IPO.
But minority appeasement?
That scores points in Amsterdam.
And we call ourselves an Independent Nation.
Her name is Alison Botha.
After 28 years in prison, her attackers were granted parole. The public outrage was so massive that the government reversed it and sent them back.
On December 18, 1994, Alison Botha was kidnapped outside her apartment in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Two men raped her, stabbed her 36 times in the abdomen, and slit her throat 17 times.
Her intestines spilled out. Her windpipe was exposed.
They left her for dead. Botha held her head onto her body with one hand and pushed her organs back in with the other.
She crawled to the road, where a veterinary student named Tiaan Eilerd stopped and kept her alive until paramedics arrived.
Her surgeon said he had never seen anyone survive such injuries in 16 years of practice. Both attackers were sentenced to life in prison.
After 28 years, they were paroled in 2023, sparking national outrage. In 2025, the government reversed the decision and sent them back.
Botha became a motivational speaker, author, and mother of two. She has shared her story in over 30 countries.
BREAKING: Soon after leaving the mosque where he had just been threatened, the Australian Prime Minister was heckled and called a dirty dog and a pig.
He wanted to show solidarity with the Muslim community and almost got lynched.
You can never appease these people.
🚨MASSIVE: Pakistan Betrays Daddy Trump By Providing Iran a Secret Arms Route From China
A major geopolitical revelation suggests that China secretly supplied nearly $5 billion worth of weapons to Iran via Pakistan, reportedly in exchange for oil, creating a strategic triangle involving China, Iran, and Pakistan.
The military aid allegedly included air defense systems, CM-302 anti-ship missiles, radar systems, and loitering munitions aimed at strengthening Iran’s capabilities amid tensions with the United States and Israel. However, several of these Chinese systems reportedly underperformed during deployment, raising doubts about their effectiveness.
Due to international sanctions that prevent Iran from using the US dollar in global trade, the deal was reportedly structured as a barter arrangement, with Iran supplying large quantities of crude oil to China instead of making direct payments. Reports indicate that millions of barrels of Iranian oil were quietly shipped to China through informal channels.
One of the most striking aspects of the operation was the logistics route used for the weapons transfer. Instead of moving through sea routes that could be monitored, the weapons were reportedly transported through Pakistan via the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) before reaching Iran.
Analysts believe China’s broader strategy is to strengthen Iran in order to keep the United States engaged in the Middle East, thereby diverting American military focus away from East Asia—particularly from Taiwan, where China has been increasing military pressure.
Pakistan’s role highlights its growing dependence on China for economic and military support, making it a key logistical link in this emerging geopolitical alignment.
🚨 STOP COMPLAINING — IT’S LITERALLY TRAINING YOUR BRAIN TO BE NEGATIVE
Ever notice how some people seem stressed all the time, even over small things? Science says it’s not just their personality — it’s their brain.
Research shows that repeated complaining actually rewires your brain. Every time you complain, your brain activates stress and threat-detection circuits. Do it again and again, and those circuits get stronger. This process is called neuroplasticity — your brain becomes better at whatever you practice most.
So if you constantly talk about problems, frustrations, and annoyances, your brain learns to search for negativity. What starts as a bad day slowly turns into a habit of negative thinking. Over time, the brain treats the world as a dangerous place, even when nothing is wrong.
This is why chronic complainers often feel tense, irritated, or overwhelmed by small issues. Their stress level stays high because their brain is stuck in “alert mode.” Even minor problems feel big, because the brain has been trained to react that way.
The powerful part? This can be reversed. Stanford researchers explain that once you understand how your brain works, you can retrain it. Shifting how you speak — focusing on solutions, gratitude, or learning — builds new, healthier pathways. Your brain can be trained for calm, resilience, and clarity just as easily as it was trained for stress.
What you repeat, your brain remembers.
So choose your words carefully — you’re shaping your mind every day.
She is Dr. Aida Rostami, a 36-year-old Iranian physician who was secretly treating wounded protesters in Tehran's Ekbatan neighborhood and other western districts during the nationwide Woman, Life, Freedom uprising sparked by Mahsa Amini's death in custody.
After tending to several injured people and realizing she needed more supplies like sterile gauze, she left to buy them. She called her mother from Chamran Hospital earlier that evening, asking if she needed anything on her way home. She never arrived.
The next day, police contacted her family claiming she had died in a "car accident" (some reports mention a fall from a bridge or overpass). They directed the family to collect her body from the forensics office.
What they found instead was undeniable evidence of extreme brutality: a smashed face, broken arms/hands, fractured shoulders, severe bruising on the lower torso (with some accounts indicating signs of sexual assault), and her left eye completely enucleated (gouged out).
The official forensics report vaguely cited death from being "hit by a hard object," but medical examiners reportedly told the family privately that they had been ordered to conceal the real cause that she had been tortured and killed by security forces.
Her family refused demands to appear on state television and falsely claim it was an accident or suicide. Aida is one of the thousand woman who was killed by brutal anti-women Khameini regime
