Abhijeet Dipke, an Indian 🇮🇳 national facing criminal charges in India, is getting deported back to India. And now he’s claiming that he’s coming to India for a revolution, playing the victim card, and targeting both India 🇮🇳 and America 🇺🇸, when in reality, he’s getting deported back to India!
Stop this drama Mr Abhishek Dipke (the so called fonder of Cockroach Janta Party) 🪳and show us the passport stamp if you have guts!
🇺🇸🇮🇳 A big thank you to everyone who helped me through this whole process!
Another day of making America a safer place for all Americans by deporting so-called leaders who incite violence among students and Gen Z and violate the rules of their temporary visas while living in America.
Make America Safe Again 🇺🇸❤️
Dear @DGCAIndia@NIA_India@airindia
Wanted to draw your attention to a very serious matter.
I was on AI 2469 Pune to Delhi. At three different times, when the flight was close to Delhi, three successive high power green colored lasers were beamed at the flight.
I was able to capture only one. The flight path and log will be able to give you exact locations of the one I wasn’t able to capture.
1. Around 2120 - by the time I could get my phone and camera out, the plane had moved on and the beam stopped. Area unknown to me.
2. Around 2124 - I was able to record. The area was Churu- Tatanagar as informed by photo location feature. Recording attached.
3. Around 2128 - again, it flashed only for few seconds and by the time I started recording, it stopped. Area was Noida - Chapraula. I’ve highlighted the general area in the image attached.
Threes successive beams, at regular intervals - you might want to check. There was a recent case in US just couple of weeks back where this laser pointing was taken very seriously by the agencies.
And one odd guy fooling around is one thing. But same green colored laser, on path of a flight, beamed successively, requires an investigation for sure.

Had an informal meeting with recently appointed Chairman of @prasarbharati Shri @prasoonjoshi_ ji !
Congratulated him and discussed many issues including promoting development/constructive media.
घुसपैठ और अन्य कारणों से Unnatural Demographic Change किसी भी राष्ट्र के वर्तमान व भविष्य के लिए एक बहुत बड़ी चुनौती है।
इसी चुनौती से निपटने के लिए 15 अगस्त 2025 को प्रधानमंत्री @narendramodi जी ने ‘High-Level Committee on Demographic Change’ की घोषणा की थी। मुझे बताते हुए हर्ष हो रहा है कि सरकार ने इस कमिटी का गठन कर लिया है।
जस्टिस प्रकाश प्रभाकर नावलेकर (सेवानिवृत्त) की अध्यक्षता में बनी इस कमिटी में जनगणना आयुक्त के साथ श्री दुर्गा शंकर मिश्रा (Retd IAS), श्री बालाजी श्रीवास्तव (Retd IPS) और डॉ. शमिका रवि समिति के सदस्य होंगे। संयुक्त सचिव (Foreigners-I), गृह मंत्रालय, इस समिति के सदस्य सचिव होंगे।
Demographic Change हमारी संप्रभुता के साथ ही राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षा, कानून व्यवस्था, सामाजिक संरचना में गंभीर बदलाव और जनजातीय समाज के संरक्षण से जुड़ी एक गंभीर समस्या है। यह कमिटी, अवैध प्रवास और अन्य असामान्य कारणों से पूरे भारत में हो रहे demographic changes का व्यापक मूल्यांकन करेगी और धार्मिक एवं सामाजिक समुदायों के स्तर पर असामान्य जनसंख्या परिवर्तनों के pattern का विश्लेषण करेगी तथा इसका सुनियोजित और समयबद्ध समाधान प्रस्तुत करेगी।
This is why Modi Govt is special.

“India is being run by Adani-Ambani. They get every project.”
The most over simplified, lazy take on Indian political economic discourse is actually is a universal feature of every industrializing economy.
A quick walk thru the pattern.
🇬🇧 Britain:
The original template as the Rothschilds financed governments and railways across Europe. Brunel and the railway barons built the rails. A handful of City of London merchant banks underwrote it all.
🇺🇸 Uncle Sam:
Carnegie owned American steel. Rockefeller controlled oil and ~90% of US refining. JP Morgan bailed out the US Treasury & consolidated GE, US Steel, AT&T into existence. Vanderbilt ran the railways.
🇩🇪 Germany:
Krupp & Siemens became national champions. Deutsche Bank was founded specifically to finance them - it underwrote Krupp’s bonds, brought Bayer to the Berlin bourse, and financed BASF, AEG, Mannesmann.
🇯🇵 Japan:
The zaibatsu - Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Yasuda formed Japan to a powerhouse. The Meiji state literally sold off state enterprises at concessional rates to bootstrap a private industrial base. Layer, the keiretsus took shape and shaped Japan to what it is today - Toyota, Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic grew inside cross shareholding. A few families. An entire industrial economy.
🇰🇷 South Korea:
The chaebols - Samsung, Hyundai, LG, Daewoo, SK sculpted much of a Korea’s ascent. - funded mostly by the state. Korea went from poorer than Ghana to OECD membership in one generation on this model. The chaebol families were the main executors.
🇸🇪 Sweden:
The quiet success story is of he Wallenberg family that has controlled large parts of Swedish industry - ABB, Ericsson, Atlas Copco, SAAB, AstraZeneca’s predecessors - for five generations.
🇮🇳 Now India:
Reliance and Adani capture a big chunk of the massive infrastructure push of the last two decades. The Tatas and the Birlas, the so called erstwhile cronies of the congress era, along with the Bharti’s, JSW, L&T, Vedanta, et al are a part of th 6-8 groups executing ports, airports, highways, transmission, refineries, telecom rollouts, semiconductors, data centres, green hydrogen, semiconductors, et al.
This is not a bug. This is what every growth-stage economy looks like.
The pattern nobody wants to admit:
- Markets are too thin for atomized capitalism to build a port. A $5 billion deepwater terminal requires finance, execution, political access, and 20 year horizons. There are 6-8 groups in India that can do this. Not 600.
- The state almost always picks winners. Explicitly (Korea), implicitly (US land grants), or via credit allocation (Germany, Japan). India’s PLI scheme, infrastructure bid pipelines, and bank credit flows are no different in structure - only in transparency, which is a fair fight to pick.
- These groups always attract moral outrage in their time. Rockefeller faced trust busting. Morgan was hauled before Congress. The zaibatsu were dissolved after WW2. Chaebol chairmen still go to jail periodically in Korea. Outrage is part of the cycle - it’s how societies eventually negotiate the transition.
- They leave behind the rails on which the next stage runs. Carnegie’s steel built Detroit. Krupp built the German industrial base. The chaebol built Korean semiconductors. Whatever one thinks of Adani or Ambani, Mundra port, Jio’s fiber, and India’s longest transmission grid don’t unbuild themselves.
The honest question is not “why do Adani Ambani exist?” The honest question is the bargain.
What does the state extract in return - infrastructure delivery on time, export performance, technology absorption, tax revenue, jobs? How transparent are the auctions? How independent are the regulators?
And critically, how cleanly does the country manage the transition when the economy outgrows the model and these groups need to be opened up to competition?
That’s the debate worth having. “Adani-Ambani chala rahe hain” is not intellectual analysis but a just an outrage meme.
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Now that both in Assam as well as West Bengal, there are @BJP4India Govt.s safe in the saddle; detecting, deleting and deporting foreign Nationals should become a lot more possible. Could permanent dis-enfranchisement be also thought?
My piece in @NewIndianXpress today.
@AmitShah@RSSorg
The name sounds British, but it is actually a purely Indian acronym. In 1952, a 55 yr old grocery store owner from Nagpur named Keshav Vishnu Pendharkar decided to shut down his shop, pack up his family of 10 children, & move to Bombay. He wanted to create a chemical-free, swadeshi alternative to the foreign cosmetic brands that were ruling post-independence India.
He started his business in a tiny, cramped godown in Parel, Bombay. He named his company after his father: Vishnu Industrial Chemical Company. V-I-C-C-O. There was no British Lord or foreign laboratory. It was just a middle-aged Marathi man & his sons working out of a shed with a dream to revive ancient texts.
Keshav Pendharkar’s brother-in-law held a basic degree in Ayurveda. Together, they huddled over ancient scripts & formulated a tooth-cleaning powder made from 20 rare herbs & barks (including Babool, Bakul, & Neem).They called it Vajradanti.
In the 1950s, urban Indians were rapidly switching to chemical, white, sweet-tasting toothpastes imported by MNCs like Colgate. When the Pendharkers tried to sell a brown, astringent Ayurvedic powder, shopkeepers laughed them out of their stores. Keshav & his sons refused to surrender. They literally walked the streets of Bombay, going door to door to hand out samples, educating people on how chemical foam was destroying their gums, & manually building their empire 1 household at a time.
In 1971, Keshav passed away, & his son, Gajanan Pendharkar, took over. Gajanan looked at the skincare market & saw it was utterly dominated by colonial-legacy snow creams like Afghan Snow, Pond's, & Nivea. All of them were stark white. Gajanan decided to launch a face cream containing Turmeric (Haldi) & Sandalwood oil. When the product launched, shopkeepers panicked. They screamed, "Baap re! If women put this on their faces, it will turn them yellow!" Nobody wanted to buy a yellow cream because the world had been conditioned to believe that beauty products had to be white.
The Pendharkars weaponized the traditional Indian wedding ritual of Haldi-Chandan. They sent salesmen into the markets armed with handheld mirrors. The salesmen would manually apply the cream onto the shopkeepers' faces right then & there to prove it absorbed completely into a vanishing base, leaving a glow w/o any yellow stains. If you remember the iconic jingle: "Vicco Turmeric, Nahi Cosmetic, Vicco Turmeric Ayurvedic Cream"... you should know that those words were not just a clever marketing tagline. They were a battle cry born from a massive legal warfare.
In 1975, the Central Excise Department of India dropped a bombshell on Vicco. They insisted on classifying Vicco Turmeric & Vajradanti as "Cosmetics." If classified as cosmetics, the govt could levy a crippling 105% luxury tax on the products, which would have priced Vicco completely out of the market & forced them into bankruptcy. The Pendharkars refused to pay. They argued that their products were manufactured under a formal Drug License & were Ayurvedic Medicines (Drugs), which attracted significantly lower taxes.
This was not a minor dispute; it turned into a historic, grueling 25 yr legal battle. The case climbed all the way up to the Supreme Court of India. While battling global giants in the market, the family spent their resources fighting their own govt in courtrooms for ~3 decades. Finally, in the 2000s, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Vicco, legally decreeing that their products were indeed medicinal, cementing the truth of their tagline forever.
How did a homegrown brand from a Parel godown become globally famous? Through sheer marketing brilliance before the internet existed. In the 1980s, South Asian immigrants abroad were obsessed with watching Bollywood movies on rented VHS video cassettes. Gajanan Pendharkar realized this & started buying ad space directly inside the video cassettes distributed globally.
Long before foreign networks recognized Indian brands, families in the US, UK, & Middle East were singing along to the Vajradanti jingle before their favorite movie started.
Despite controlling a multi-million dollar empire, the house had only 1 giant mega-kitchen. Every single meal was cooked in massive industrial-sized pots, & the entire family sat on the floor together to eat. Gajanan believed that if the family broke bread separately, the business would fracture into pieces.
In the early decades, the sons & grandsons who worked for Vicco did not get individual corporate salaries/luxury allowances. The company took care of all household expenses centrally. If a family member needed a car/a dress/a medical trip, it was cleared by the family elders, ensuring that personal greed could never overtake the company's mission.
Vicco did not survive because it was backed by British capital/Western tech. It survived because an Indian family was willing to go door to door with brown tooth powder, rub yellow cream onto skeptical faces, & spend 25 yrs in court defending the scientific validity of Ayurveda. The name might sound like a colonial legacy, but the blood inside the tube is Sampoorna Swadeshi.
1. Just got off a call with @UnSubtleDesi. I couldn't be happier for her and both of us couldn't help but discuss the harrowing days of post poll violence in West Bengal in 2021. So I am going to share what happened five years ago just so ppl know what happened. #WestBengal2026.
Hats Off to PM @narendramodi ji, HM @AmitShah ji and @BJP4India President @NitinNabin ji as also all leaders of @BJP4Bengal including @SuvenduWB ji for a epoch-making mandate secured by them for the Party!
This victory in West Bengal, completes the dawn of #Purboday! Tomorrow’s sunrise in Kolkata will be far too brighter as it ends the darkness of lawlessness, vote-bank politics and massive corruption!
Congratulations to all our Vang Bandhus and Bhaginis!
Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition.
GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before.
Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country.
The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything.
The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot.
Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart.
GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution.
Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time.
For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day.
GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission.
Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru.
Take a bow!
Just read the EC's order for repolling. Masking tapes on EVMs. Videos missing. Application of perfume on button to identify who the person voted for.
All these where the ECI put officers whom the TMC did not want and challenged it in courts. So much in an election which has been scrutinized against their wish .... Just imagine what they would have done had they got officers of their choice!!!!!
People still want to defend this as democracy because you don't like the other Party on the ballot???
In about 10 years:

7) FDI number 1
8) Data centre number 1
9) Startup’s Number 1
10) CSN as new manufacturing hub
11) Gadchiroli as Steel Hub
12) Medicity and Educity
Today “missing” link now “connecting” to make Mumbai- Pune the most sought after growth corridor of the country
One Man led a state and has set the stage for greater glory of Maharashtra.

We will see an explosive growth of Bollywoodiyas claiming the heat wave is a result of the incredible urbanisation of India - expect them to connect it to 'tree cutting'. First of all, this is possibly a 150 year record breaking El Niño in progress. Full thread: 🧵
