The @BJP4Maharashtra govt is either spineless or arrogant. How can the govt allow a person not connected with the school to enter with a crowd? @Dev_Fadnavis @mieknathshinde

[Subhi Vishwakarma @subhi_karma]

The Cockroach drama at another school!

This man visited another school today and asked students to wait outside the classrooms; he brought a group of 50 people.

Who is he?
A Politician?
A government servant?
Member of some commission?
By what authority is he raiding government schools?

What's happening in Maharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis?

[S V Manjunath 🇮🇳 @imsvmanjunath]

@krishnabgowda Is the garbage problem solved? It would be good if the Minister travels through out the city - one can see garbage everywhere. Gone are the days when one could fool the public. With social media, the truth is out even before you finish saying the sentence.

There are so many problems in SIR in Bangalore. What is the @BJP4Karnataka doing about it? @BYVijayendra @Tejasvi_Surya

[S V Manjunath 🇮🇳 @imsvmanjunath]

If online forms are not considered, why were people encouraged to submit them? I had submitted the online form within 2 days of the SIR exercise starting. This action of BLO is pure harassment. @ceo_karnataka @ECISVEEP

[S V Manjunath 🇮🇳 @imsvmanjunath]

The SIR in Bangalore seems a sham.The BLO had not come to our house.I had filled form 8 online. It still shows as submitted.However,my name now appears in the ASDDO list under Permanently shifted category.This is blatantly false.I am a voter since last 20 years.@ceo_karnataka

@garg_trupti These restaurateurs will increase their prices and will pass on the cost of the renovation work to the common public. I support what Tukaram Mundhe is doing. But the govt should also ensure that the public should not be fleeced.

@AmitShah Great work by Indian security forces. Salute to them. @AmitShah

[Amit Shah @AmitShah]

Modi govt destroyed the ISI-backed terror group Shahzad Bhatti Network ahead of Independence Day and thwarted its plans for subversive attacks by arresting more than 200 operatives.

Indian security forces ripped apart the network by launching coordinated operations across different locations in 14 states upholding a brilliant example of India's zero-tolerance towards terrorism.

Substantial recoveries, including IEDs, grenades bearing Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings, pistols, live cartridges, and CCTV cameras used for espionage, were made from the ISI-funded group. The network was involved in several terrorist activities.

@VinamreKasanaa @abhijeet_dipke From the outset, it was clear that CJP was never about student protests. It was a facade to launch their own political careers. They are still trying to fool people.

The Great Andhra Heist: The Andhra Story Nobody Tells

[ Important Thread🧵. Please read in full ]

In 1971 census,Andhra had 14 Lakh christians.
In 2011 census, Andhra had only 6 Lakh Christians.

Where did the Christians disappear?

Vote-bank politics, foreign funds, conversion mafia, corruption and fraudulent reservation policies has created a mega fraud that threatens to consume Andhra today. Details below:

One more reminder that @sachin_rt @DineshKarthik, @shishhattangadi supported the foul mouthed,gutter words at #CJP where none of them were actual students. Same cricketers,now absolutely quiet on the genuine protests of #Jharkhand students. Hope @narendramodi @AmitShah take note.

#WATCH | Jharkhand: JPSC-JSSC aspirants’ protest in Ranchi | Student protestor Prem Nayak says, “Today marks the 23rd day of the protest and the 13th day of the hunger strike... The government is not serious at all. I don’t think I will survive much longer; the situation is critical... The fever started yesterday. They tried to take me away for treatment, but I refused... They took Devendra Nath Mahato away and are not allowing him to return. Their intention is to break the movement...”

He further says, “... Discussions regarding laying siege to the CM’s residence are ongoing; nothing has been finalised yet... In my view, a ‘Jail Bharo Andolan’ would be better than laying siege to the Chief Minister’s residence... Shutting down all schools and colleges is another excellent idea; these are two measures worth considering...”

In the scorching summer of 1984, the Northern Railway reservation office at New Delhi station was a circle of hell.

100,000+ passengers descended on the station daily. Behind wooden counters sat clerks buried alive under 1000s of bound, leather-backed ledgers called Charting Sheets. To book a ticket, a clerk had to physically find the ledger, cross out a berth with a fountain pen, hand write a paper ticket, and file a duplicate slip.

If you wanted a return ticket from Madras to Delhi? You could not buy it in Delhi. You had to send a physical telegram to Madras, wait 48-72 hours for a manual reply, and pray the seat was not sold twice.

This is where CMC Limited (Computer Maintenance Corporation) slowly entes into the scene, a public sector company staffed by young, intense Indian systems engineers, working alongside a dedicated task force from Indian Railways.

The mandate was terrifying: Digitized reservation did not exist at this scale in the developing world. Foreign vendors wanted astronomical sums for custom software. The team had to build it from scratch, using bare metal hardware.

They chose VAX/VMS minicomputers and picked a language built for raw numerical calculation, not transaction processing: FORTRAN.

They named the software IMPRESS (Integrated Multi-train Passenger Reservation System).

On 15th Nov, 1985, a quiet pilot went live at New Delhi station for just 2 trains: the Tamil Nadu Express and the Grand Trunk Express.

There were no satellite beams / grand reveals. The software was bug riddled, the clerks were terrified of the green phosphor CRT monitors, and paper backups were kept open on the desks just in case the system crashed.

When the 1st green terminal screen printed a clean, automated ticket in < 60 secs without a clerk touching an ink pad, the engineers in the back room did not celebrate. They held their breath, waiting for the system memory to dump.

It did not......

By 1987, IMPRESS was expanded to Bombay, Calcuttta, and Madras. But there was a catch: They were island nodes.

Bombay had no idea what Calcuta was doing. A clerk in Delhi could still only sell tickets for trains originating out of Delhi.

To manage this growing digital beast, Indian Railways created CRIS (Centre for Railway Information Systems). CRIS inherited 5 massive regional databases: Delhi, Bambay, Calcutta, Madras, and Secunderabad.

Each region was an isolated digital kingdom running on different hardware iterations.

As travel exploded in the 1990s, the "Island Problem" became a crisis. Passengers did not travel in single regions.....

CRIS engineers were tasked with the ultimate computer science nightmare: How do you synchronize 5 massive, high throughput, realtime transaction databases across 4,000 KMs over unreliable copper telegraph lines and primitive telecom links?

If a user in Secunderabad tried to book a seat on a train running from Howrah to Bombay while a user in Ahmedabad tried to book the exact same berth at the exact same second, how do you prevent a deadlock without crashing the entire national network?

The CRIS team went to work on a master architecture: CONCERT (Country-wide Network for Computerized Enhanced Reservation and Ticketing).

They had to engineer custom distributed database protocols. They built networking software that could handle dropped packets, noisy BSNL landlines, and sudden power blackouts. Where landlines failed, they rigged up hybrid data pipes, combining microwave links, leased telecom lines, and early satellite VSATs for redundant failovers.

The system was rolled out region by region starting in 1994. The pressure on the CRIS software architects was unbearable, a single logic bug in memory locking could lock up 100s of 1000s of seats across the nation, halting the economy overnight.

Finally, in April 1999, the final switch was flipped....

For the 1st time in human history, a passenger walking up to a remote ticket window in Guwahati could instantly query, lock, and purchase a ticket for a train running between Trivandrum and Mumbai in < 2 secs.

It was a 15 year relentless siege by teams at CMC and CRIS, writing low level C and FORTRAN code, fighting hardware limitations, and building custom networking protocols long before modern cloud infrastructure existed.

When IRCTC was launched in 2002 to bring ticket booking to web browsers, it did not build the core reservation engine. It simply built a web frontend that plugged into the massive, bulletproof CONCERT backend built by CRIS.

Today, that same underlying architectural logic handles over 1.5M+ bookings a day, serving a population larger than entire continents.

Remember, this was done without any massive VC funding. Just pure, unyielding Indian engineering built line by line in the dark.

Remembering Sri Aurobindo on his birth anniversary.

A towering philosopher, nationalist, poet and thinker, Sri Aurobindo dedicated his life to India’s freedom as well as to the larger quest for human progress. His works on various subjects continue to inspire generations across the world. Very importantly, his faith in the destiny of our nation and in the limitless possibilities of human transformation remains deeply relevant.
