Indian Navy warship INS Trikand thwarted a piracy attempt in the Gulf of Aden last night. The Indian Navy Marine Commandos (MARCOS) boarded the affected vessel MV Golden Arsenal, which had one Indian crew member on board. The vessel was carrying critical cargo for India. The crew of the vessel had locked themselves in a safe room and informed about the piracy attempt on a communication channel. The pirates fled as the Indian Navy warship was coming towards the affected ship. The MARCOS sanitised the ship: Sources

38 is nothing. India survived a few million parasites travelled all through Britain between 1800 and 1947.

That time when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before Indian President Modi as a gesture of respect.
Then, at the last moment, the United States suddenly abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to wait and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.

What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had blown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.

This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.

And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear......

The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh was established in 1505. Sushruta had already been performing reconstructive surgery for over two thousand years by then. His ethical framework predates the Hippocratic Oath. East India Company surgeons were still learning rhinoplasty techniques from Indian practitioners in the 18th century.

What happened in Edinburgh this week is an overdue correction to Western assumptions about where foundational medical knowledge originated.

Unveiling of Sushrutha’s statue at the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh. What a great event, a historical event in the histories of both India & the U.K.

Kailasa was just scanned with lasers, and if you haven’t been following this place, hold on.
What’s being uncovered here won’t just rewrite Indian history. It could rewrite human history and prove Ancient India had tools far more advanced than we’ve been told.

But first, you have to understand what you’re looking at. Kailasa wasn’t built. It was removed from the side of a mountain. That means there was no room for mistakes while carving one of the hardest rocks on Earth. Between 200,000 and 400,000 tons of basalt were removed to create it. The first mystery is simple: we don’t know where it all went. We also don’t truly know when it was built. The main dating sources are two land grants, but that doesn’t tell us when the actual carving began. Dating matters because it would tell us what tools they had. Ancient India had steel by 600 BC, which later became the famous Damascus steel. But basalt is hardened lava. It’s around a 6 on the Mohs scale, meaning steel barely scratches it. In 1682, a Mughal emperor ordered 1,000 workers to destroy Kailasa. They failed. That alone shows how hard this stone is. Even with modern alloys, humans barely make a dent. Russian researchers tested this by having people strike basalt with modern tools, then measuring the removed volume with photogrammetry. The result? One person working every day for 3 years could remove only about 1 cubic meter. And since Kailasa is unfinished, we still have tool marks. Those marks show cuts deeper than what modern hydraulic breakers can achieve. To penetrate basalt that deeply, we’d normally need huge machinery. But machines that size wouldn’t fit in many of these spaces. So clearly, they had different tools. Not just powerful tools. Precision tools. The detail in Kailasa’s carvings looks like work done in soft soapstone, except it’s carved into basalt. What we know for sure is that our assumptions about ancient India are wrong. At minimum, they were far more advanced than we give them credit for. At most, something was happening back then that we still don’t fully comprehend.

@BLRAviation @BLRAirport @CISFAirport You r right, I should have tagged CISF. A person sitting in the middle of the road and scattering his belonging is suspicious as it is, but when it happens in a sensitive place lile an airport is a red flag

[Eshwar @eshwarchandra]

Today at T2 @BLRAirport there was a man acting strangely. He was sitting in the drop off area and scattered his belongings around. It was a red flag. Ideally @crpfindia shoud hav detained him but I just saw few folks taking videos and the security staff just looking at him.

Interesting fact 😂

Around 8.6 lakhs followers of “Cockroach Janata Party” are from a place called Topeka, USA. while the actual population of the town is only around 1.26 lakh 😂.

“Cockroach Janata Party” is nothing but deep-state propaganda, heavily driven by bots and fake IDs.

It’s only present gen that blackpills easily, our ancestors were very resilient.

When the plunder of Meenakshi temple in Madurai was imminent, the Pandyas constructed a wall infront of the sanctum sanctorum & placed a decoy linga Infront of it

Kafurs army believing this was the main deity damaged it while the actual deity stayed safe inside

You can see that damaged linga to this day inside meekashi Sundareshwarar Koli
