Ukraine has received 4 proposals aimed at bringing a ceasefire and peace to the Russia-Ukraine war. The proposals are from India, the United States, Türkiye and Egypt.
Among these, India’s proposal has been described by Ukraine as the most comprehensive and broadest.
This is an important moment for India.
If India can help Russia and Ukraine understand each other better and bring them closer to a peaceful solution, it would be a remarkable diplomatic achievement.
And, if this actually happens, just wait and watch, a whole ecosystem will sit together and try to dismiss it. They will say it was all staged. They will find a new narrative, a new excuse, a new way to undermine it.
Because sometimes, when reality doesn’t fit the narrative, the easiest thing is to dismiss reality itself.
⚠️ New details on what happened inside the Flydubai cockpit, in Captain Smit Machchar’s own account to the Israeli PM:
1️⃣ The flight was normal. The co-pilot said he wanted to pray, something Machchar says was not unusual among local pilots.
2️⃣ Machchar faced forward while the co-pilot prayed behind him.
3️⃣ Four or five minutes later, Machchar says he was suddenly struck hard on the back of his head.
4️⃣ His first thought was catastrophic aircraft damage. Then the blows kept coming. He realised it was the co-pilot attacking him.
5️⃣ The initial blows left his vision severely blurred. He tried to fight back, but says he could barely see.
6️⃣ His next sensation was the aircraft plunging sharply. His memory of these moments remains fragmented.
7️⃣ He recalls managing to open the cockpit door once, but says the co-pilot apparently shut it again.
8️⃣ Lying on the cockpit floor, he could hear the aircraft rushing through the air and passengers screaming.
9️⃣ Machchar says he realised he had “one last fight” left. His thought was brutally simple: if he didn’t act, he was going to die.
🔟 He threw everything he had into reaching and opening the cockpit door. People outside were waiting to pounce. They entered, control was regained.
'Indian culture has something… could serve as an example, unique, diverse, united', says Russian Prez Putin, pointing to the country's multiple languages, diversity, scale
#WATCH | Russian President Vladimir Putin says, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is one of those world leaders who, despite our very good and even friendly relations, personal good relations, constantly raises the question and asks the question about putting an end to the conflict in Ukraine... He has an avid interest and very good ideas aimed at finding mutually acceptable solutions. In that sense, naturally, the Prime Minister takes a neutral position but with an interest in the end of the conflict. I think it's my duty to say that directly. And we are thankful to the Prime Minister for his ideas... We are thankful for his desire to put an end to this conflict through peaceful means and as soon as possible..."

The CJP issued a public ultimatum threatening nationwide protests and a return to Delhi for a "Jantar Mantar 2.0" standoff if the CEC does not resign within 48 hours.
Coinciding directly with this threat of urban disruption, Sonam Wangchuk made an outrageous statement claiming that India’s governance in Ladakh involves oppression worse than what China is doing in Tibet.
Beyond the sheer absurdity of Wangchuk’s remark, the timing itself reveals a familiar pattern. At the exact moment one group sets a deadline to incite street-level turmoil, the prominent face of earlier mobilizations deploys outrageous, anti-India rhetoric. This synchronized surge suggests that the usual network of agitation groups is gearing up to converge once again for another regime change operation. By leveraging psychological manipulation, public anxiety, and manufactured outrage, these coordinated efforts aim to join forces with the usual suspects to push a broader agenda of regime change.
The govt has been handling such disruptive tactics with kid gloves for too long; it must drop its hesitant stance, align with prevailing public sentiment, and take decisive, aggressive action to curb this deliberate strategy of chaos. This is one issue on which they'll get broader public support. People are tired. Just handle the chaos the way it should be handled.
"Bittu Tabahi" is an example of what individual and often solitary human endeavour is capable of achieving.

Two ways to get into prime time media
1. Study a lot , gain knowledge , stand for some ideology , articulate & speak well and keep trying for years
2. Abuse the PM /Army / nation and become viral & chill out . Instantly National media will make u the prime time !
Just watched Declassified: Operation Sindoor, which is a fantastic effort to showcase the entire unified operations of all three arms of the defense forces to teach Pakistan a lesson of their life till they go rogue again. But, whoever gave the idea of putting it behind a paywall rather than making it accessible to every citizen to watch it for free is not only doing a huge disservice to the immense efforts of our armed forces but also ensuring that the international doubting toms keep seeding misinformation. Hope sense prevails & the entire nation watches it.
@indhavaainko For the Interest of the Nation(al BJP), in the changed circumstances, it is wise for BJP to align with both DMKs for Modi 2029 and get as many MPs.
Anna(malai) has taken a diff path for TN 2031.
Modi for India. AM for TN.
So, its fine.
@podhigaimagal Madam, for the interests of the Nation(al BJP), in the changed circumstances, it is prudent for BJP to align with Admk & Dmk, and win as many seats under Modi in 2029.
Anna(malai) has started a diff path targeting TN 1st, and may align with BJP later.
But for now, this is fine.
Imagine a workplace, where you reach at 11am, pour yourself a cup of coffee, reach your desk, then you signal your entire team, they start shouting & sloganeering on the floor. The HR head appears, and suspends office for 3 hours, you guys go out, roam around, come back at 2pm, shout again, HR cancels the entire day. People go home. All of them get full salary.
This is our Parliament.

All knowledge already exists. Your mind is just a conduit. If you apply your mind and concentrate on a problem hard enough, the solution will appear. Or you can just meditate hard enough to access all knowledge, in Turiya. You can be Ramanjujan or the Buddha. The choice is yours.
