Spine always grows in the back that is against the wall. America denied us crucial LOX/LH₂ cryogenic engine technology. We developed it indigenously and using it we now send American satellites into space.

Yesterday, in a prayerful mood, I visited the 800-year-old Sri Santhana Venugopala Swamy Temple at Mahadevpura near Bibinagar, a temple dating back to the Kakatiya era.

To my surprise, a Mazar has appeared under the sacred Ashwatha (Banyan) tree around which devotees traditionally perform pradakshina as part of temple worship.

How and why was a Mazar established inside a Hindu temple campus, beneath one of its most sacred trees? Was this done with the knowledge and consent of the temple authorities and devotees, or was it an overnight encroachment? These are questions that deserve clear answers.

This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.

First thoughts:

1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.

2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.

We must keep these two ideas in mind.

What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?

We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100+ billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.

Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.

Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

Rashtrapati Ji,

I am grateful to you for your warm wishes and kind words. Whatever has been achieved over the years is the result of the collective efforts and aspirations of the people of India. The affection and blessings of 140 crore Indians are my greatest strength and inspiration. I am particularly glad that you mentioned PM-JANMAN and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan. Our Government remains committed to ensuring that the benefits of development reach every section of society in the true spirit of Antyodaya.

➡️25 years ago, when the IAF projected a requirement for 126 Medium Role Combat Aircraft, Sweden came to the table with the Gripen C fighter.
➡️The baseline Gripen C would likely have been cheaper than India's upgraded Mirage 2000s (which were already between 26-30 years old when the upgrade process started).
➡️Successive Air Chiefs checked out the Gripen. Many told me this was EXACTLY the aircraft that they were looking for at the time. Single-engine, nimble, genuinely multi-role, upgradeable. With robust EW systems and an unmatched man-machine interface.
➡️The Gripen ultimately failed the IAF's down-select and the Rafale was picked, though only 36 were eventually ordered. Many in the know openly say the Gripen didn't have a chance given the Tejas programme. The Swedish competitor was in the class of the Tejas and Make in India was the priority.
➡️Fast forward to 2026. Sweden is now inducting the Gripen F as is Brazil - a jet which is comprehensively superior to the Tejas Mk-1 which we have in service.
➡️Number of Tejas Mk-1As in IAF service: Zero.
➡️Number of Tejas Mk-2 prototypes: Zero
➡️The point is this: Delays matter. Capabilities cannot be stagnant and fighter-jet development projects cannot be a national level SUPW exercise.
➡️Debate all you want - I reiterate - there is only one word that matters - `capability.' You either have it or you don't.
➡️China isn't waiting around. Neither is Pakistan.

Historian Romila Thapar recently stated that Buddhists and Jains were called ‘mleccha’ in Brāhmaṇical sources.

This is incorrect. Brāhmaṇical, Buddhist and Jain sources used the word ‘mleccha’ for foreigners, barbarians or speakers of non-Indo-Aryan languages. Watch for more.
