क्या आज के दौर में कोई ऐसा इंसान हो सकता है जो अपनी 35 साल की नौकरी की पूरी सैलरी, अपनी पेंशन और जीवन में मिले तमाम पुरस्कारों की ₹30 करोड़ की राशि अनाथ और गरीब बच्चों के लिए दान कर दे... और खुद दो वक्त की रोटी के लिए किसी होटल में बर्तन धोए या वेटर का काम करे?

सुनने में यह किसी फ़िल्मी कहानी जैसा लगता है, लेकिन तमिलनाडु के पालम कल्याणसुंदरम (Palam Kalyanasundaram) जी ने इस त्याग को अपनी पूरी ज़िंदगी बनाकर जिया है। इसी महानता की वजह से पूरी दुनिया उन्हें 'भारत का सबसे अमीर गरीब' और 'Man of the Millennium' के नाम से मान देती है।

तमिलनाडु के तिरुनेलवेली जिले में जन्मे कल्याणसुंदरम जी ने बचपन में ही पिता को खो दिया था। माँ की दी हुई इस सीख को उन्होंने दिल में बसा लिया—"जो कुछ तुम्हारे पास है, उसमें से दूसरों की मदद करो।"

लाइब्रेरी साइंस में गोल्ड मेडलिस्ट और इतिहास व साहित्य में मास्टर्स करने के बाद उन्हें कॉलेज में लाइब्रेरियन की सरकारी नौकरी मिली। लेकिन उन्होंने अपनी नौकरी के पहले ही महीने से तय कर लिया था कि वे अपनी सैलरी से एक रुपया भी खुद पर खर्च नहीं करेंगे। 35 सालों तक वे हर महीने अपनी पूरी तनख्वाह अनाथालयों और बच्चों की पढ़ाई के लिए देते रहे और अपनी रोजमर्रा की ज़रूरतों व खाने के लिए नौकरी के बाद होटलों और लॉन्ड्री में काम करते रहे!

हद तो तब हो गई जब 1962 के भारत-चीन युद्ध के दौरान प्रधानमंत्री नेहरू जी की अपील पर 23 साल के कल्याणसुंदरम जी ने अपनी सोने की चेन देश की सुरक्षा कोष में दान कर दी थी।

उन्हें भारत सरकार द्वारा 'बेस्ट लाइब्रेरियन इन इंडिया', पद्मा श्री सम्मान, जेएनयू द्वारा 'विश्व के टॉप 10 लाइब्रेरियन' और संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ (UNO) द्वारा '20वीं सदी के सबसे उत्कृष्ट लोगों' में चुना गया।

कपड़ों के नाम पर आज भी सिर्फ एक सादी धोती-कुर्ता पहनने वाले इस संत पुरुष ने यह साबित कर दिया कि दुनिया में सबसे अमीर वही है, जिसका दिल दूसरों के लिए धड़कता है

भारत भूमि के इस सच्चे राष्ट्रनायक को हमारा कोटि-कोटि नमन!

In 1987 America refused to sell India a supercomputer.

It then offered a weaker model instead, with conditions. Civilian use only. No technology transfer. No re-export. And an American official would be posted in India to monitor how the machine was used.

India said no, and handed the job to a man who had never seen a supercomputer in his life.

His name is Vijay Bhatkar.

He was born on 11th October 1946 in Muramba, a village in Akola district in Maharashtra. He started school directly in class 4. He took his engineering degree at Nagpur, a master's at Baroda and a doctorate at IIT Delhi.

India had wanted the machine for a very ordinary reason. Weather forecasting, which for a country of farmers is not a luxury. The Indian Institute of Science wanted one for research.

The Americans classed supercomputers as dual use technology, meaning it could also help a nuclear or missile programme. So the export was blocked.

In March 1988 the government set up the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing in Pune, and made Bhatkar its founder and executive director.

Before that, the Prime Minister asked him 3 questions.

Can we do it. Bhatkar said he had never seen a supercomputer, only a photograph of the Cray, and that yes, they could.

How long will it take. He said less time than it would take to keep trying to import one.

How much will it cost. He said the entire effort, including building the institution, would cost less than buying the Cray.

He was given about 30 crore rupees and 3 years.

The start was not glamorous. He has said that for the first 6 months he could not recruit a single person, including his own secretary, because of bureaucratic delays.

His team took a different route from the Americans. Instead of building 1 enormous processor, they linked many ordinary processors together to work in parallel, using parts that could be bought off the shelf.

The prototype was ready in 1990. They called it Param, which in Sanskrit means supreme.

Then came the part he did not expect. Nobody believed it was a supercomputer. It did not look like a Cray. He has said even his own computer science professors doubted it.

So he took it abroad, to a major international supercomputing conference, and had it demonstrated and benchmarked in public. It was formally recognised there as a supercomputer.

In 1991 they completed PARAM 8000.

An American newspaper carried the story under a headline that has stayed famous in India. Denied supercomputer, angry India does it.

Versions of the machine were later exported to Germany, the United Kingdom and Russia. India went from being refused the technology to selling it.

He has one line he repeats.

Great nations are not built on borrowed technology.

Good news: India's Forex Reserves are at $716.9 billion. The last time it exceeded $710 billion was in the first week of March. We are close to pre-war levels. Another underrated win for the Modi Government despite the storms in the crude market.

𝗦𝗼, 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗷𝗶 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗵𝗿𝘂𝘃𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗲𝗿𝗮.

Let me give you three examples which I have read while researching on Indian Economy.

1. Bajaj Auto had customers waiting years for scooters, but the Licence Raj restricted how many it could produce. Bajaj owner said that 'he was ready to go to jail to produce more scooters'.

2. Premier Automobiles faced government-imposed production limits even when demand existed. Even the Supreme Court said why the company's production was not being allowed to happen as per its capacity.

3. And in nylon filament yarn, Indian plants were often just ¼ to ⅒ the size of plants in competing countries because licensing restrictions blocked expansion. Nehruvian Socialism effectively blocked us from competing in the world.

We had demand. We had entrepreneurs. We had factories. What we didn’t have was permission to produce at scale.

People have no idea how much damage Nehruvian Socialism has done to this country. Millions of people lived a subhuman life for decades because we had Congress ruling us.

Mi nombre es Shani Louk, soy una joven judía de 23 años, fui asesinada por terroristas palestinos el 7 de octubre — mi cuerpo sin vida fue paseado por Gaza en la parte trasera de una camioneta de Hamás.

Los civiles inocentes de Gaza me ultrajaron con escupitajos, palazos, insultos y maldiciones. Yo les aseguro que no hay inocentes allí.

Me convertí en un símbolo internacional del terror que azotó ese día, pero yo hubiera preferido estar viva y continuar con mis sueños, como los de todos Uds.

No me olviden, soy Shani Louk.

The more Congress targets Veer Savarkar, the more PM Modi seems determined to honour his legacy by naming and rebuilding institutions and public landmarks after him.

1. Veer Savarkar International Airport. Formerly Port Blair Airport
2. Savarkar College, Delhi University, Najafgarh, Delhi.
3. Savarkar College, Beed, Maharashtra
4. Veer Savarkar Sports Complex, Naranpura, Ahmedabad.
5. Savarkar statue, Sri Vijaya Puram.

🚨 Modi Govt turns the tide on water security in Ladakh!

For decades, precious glacier water from Stok Kangri was flowing straight into the Indus and ending up in Pakistan while our farmers in the cold desert of Ladakh struggled for every drop.

After the Indus Waters Treaty was put on hold, the Modi government has now diverted 9 crore litres of water from Stok Nala into the Igoo-Phey irrigation canal without any extra budget!

✅ Flow increased by 60%
✅ Thousands of acres of barren land in 12 villages are now getting daily water
✅ Decades-old water rationing finally ends

Earlier, under the Indus Treaty, India had to seek Pakistan’s permission, share blueprints, and wait years. Pakistan routinely objected.

Now India is free to use its own water for its own farmers without seeking anyone’s approval.

This is real “Jal Shakti” in action.

India first. Always.

Total rubbish. You had no business talking a mob to go to a school with young children. The villagers were right in coming together to protect their children. The safety and security of students is paramount not an outside mob.
If you folks were true, 2 or 3 will visit, talk politely and do a full study not lead a mob to do anarchist publicity. The villagers have a right to defend their children. @republic @CNNnews18 @TimesNow @RShivshankar @navikakumar

It is deeply concerning that Union Minister @KirenRijiju continues to publicly mischaracterise my brother Sharjeel @_imaams speech as a call for the secession of Assam from India. Sharjeel’s case has consistently been that he was speaking of a chakka jam, a road blockade as a form of protest, not cessation or secession from India. These very speeches and their legal interpretation are sub judice, and there is no final judicial finding that Sharjeel advocated secession. At a particularly crucial stage, when arguments on framing of charges in FIR 59/2020 are underway, such categorical public pronouncements by a senior Union Minister risk prejudicing the atmosphere surrounding an ongoing criminal trial and impinge upon Sharjeel’s right to a fair trial. I request Mr. Rijiju to allow the courts to decide the evidence and law, and not defame my brother or prejudge his case for political gain.

Yesterday - I issued notice to the Secretary, Religious Endowments Department - Commissioner of @tnhrcedept and the Executive Officer of Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam (who is functioning without valid legal orders) to evict the TN Government Hospital which is occupying the temple's 2.58 acres land - without paying one paise of fair rent for the past 50 years.

One of the biggest and chronic encroachers of Temple lands is the Tamil Nadu Government who is occupying many temple properties without any sense of guilt or remorse.

In the last 60 years of Dravidian DMK & AIADMK Rule - Temple properties were deliberately made vulnerable to encroachment, looting and usurpation with Government leading the way.

@CMOTamilnadu can set things right through special focus on audit of temple lands and orders passed in the last 40 years relating to them.

2.58 acres of prime property in Srirangam Town, Tiruchirappalli - Town Survey No. 732/1 - currently worth more than Rs. 80.00 Crores has been shamelessly encroached by the Tamil Nadu Government's Directorate of Medical and Rural Health services to run the Srirangam Hospital for more than 50 years.

One might say that running a Govt hospital is a good purpose, but it begs the question wether the same Govt will have the audacity and temerity to encroach a Wakf Land or a land belonging to a Church in the same manner - without paying any rent for 50 long years.

The prime reason is - IAS Fellows have been made Commissioners of the @tnhrcedept for the last 50 years instead of District Judges or Judges from State Higher Judicial Service as primarily required by TN HR&CE Act, 1959.

These IAS Fellows are never loyal to the Deities of the temples - They do not care to obey HR&CE Act provisions - They do not care for the Fundamental Religious Rights of Hindus - guaranteed by the Constitution - They only want to please their political bosses and do everything to get plum postings throughout their tenure.

I have further stated in my notice dated 18.08.2026 to set right 64 other serious land issues relating to Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Srirangam highlighted by the auditors of the @tnhrcedept

I request Hon'ble Minister @RameshOffcl to look into this matter urgently - as this seems to be another big SCAM like the Pazhani Mutt Land matter. More than Rs.14.00 Crores is due to Srirangam Temple from TN Government which should be paid immediately to the temple with interest, compounded quarterly.
