A Bengali Girl Finally Sang to Kali Maa Without Fear

A young Bengali woman in Kolkata, who lived years in fear and silence, finally lights a diya before Maa Kali and sings her voice cracking with relief, her terrace touched by a saffron dawn. This is the song of a Bengal that never lost its Sanatan soul, only waited to breathe again. 🙏🏾 Jai Maa Kali 🙏🏾

Dear @narendramodi. You asked us how best to celebrate Vande Mataram.

Reinstall in it this stanza omitted by Nehru on Jinnah’s demand:

त्वं हि दुर्गा दशप्रहरणधारिणी
कमला कमलदल विहारिणी
वाणी विद्यादायिनी नमामि त्वाम्
नमामि कमलां अमलां अतुलाम्
सुजलां सुफलां मातरम् ॥ वन्दे मातरम्

Prof Shyam Sundar Jyani, the visionary from Rajasthan who initiated the Familial Forestry movement where plants are being managed & protected by families.

His efforts of 22yrs led to mobilising 2mn families who planted 4mn saplings in the desert.

The real environmentalist!!

Friends, need your help.

@antarikshB, a senior from IIT B has launched an incredible project of organizing all Sanskrit literature in one place, in a user-friendly manner.

The service is free, not-for-profit, created purely out of passion. Media coverage will go a long way in ensuring the service reaches the right people.

Could you help by RT-ing and perhaps tag the right people?

The Aryan Invasion Theory, a narrative of Aryans invading and subjugating the native population of India, has resulted in the creation of a racial divide in our society. Following a petition filed by Shri. Mahalingam Balaji in Sept 2024 in the Madras High Court, seeking to restrain the NCERT and the State Textbook Committee (SCERT) from teaching the Aryan Race/Invasion Theory in our schools, Shri Balaji attended a hearing at the NCERT and submitted evidence refuting the Aryan Race Theory, in February 2025.

It is heartening to note that, in response to this, the NCERT has confirmed that the Aryan Race Theory references will be removed from Class 8 textbooks from the next academic year.

Please follow this link to learn more about this important subject and sign the petition in support of the removal of the Aryan Race Theory from school textbooks.

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics!

Announcing the Genesis project — after a 24-month large-scale research collaboration involving over 20 research labs — a generative physics engine able to generate 4D dynamical worlds powered by a physics simulation platform designed for general-purpose robotics and physical AI applications.

Genesis's physics engine is developed in pure Python, while being 10-80x faster than existing GPU-accelerated stacks like Isaac Gym and MJX. It delivers a simulation speed ~430,000 faster than in real-time, and takes only 26 seconds to train a robotic locomotion policy transferrable to the real world on a single RTX4090 (see tutorial: https://t.co/bEkIlCKqdf).

The Genesis physics engine and simulation platform is fully open source at https://t.co/DhBv7NdyqH. We'll gradually roll out access to our generative framework in the near future.

Genesis implements a unified simulation framework all from scratch, integrating a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art physics solvers, allowing simulation of the whole physical world in a virtual realm with the highest realism.

We aim to build a universal data engine that leverages an upper-level generative framework to autonomously create physical worlds, together with various modes of data, including environments, camera motions, robotic task proposals, reward functions, robot policies, character motions, fully interactive 3D scenes, open-world articulated assets, and more, aiming towards fully automated data generation for robotics, physical AI and other applications.

More languages, more insights!

A few interesting takeaways:

* Java and Kotlin are quick! Possible explanation: Google is heavily invested in performance here.
* Js is really fast as far as interpreted / jit languages go.
* Python is quite slow without things like PyPy.
