India must learn from China how to handle a crisis.

Devastating flood hits Tibet. China takes swift action: deletes every video, every post, every inconvenient death count circulating on social media.

Result: Officially only 16 dead on the Tibet side.

Meanwhile Nepal reports over 1,000 dead and thousands missing.
This is what happens when your country is 100 years ahead.

Watch the liberal media now do chest-thumping, praise Beijing’s “efficiency,” and lecture Modiji on how to run a country.

[India in USA @IndianEmbassyUS]

India’s position is clear and consistent.
The so-called Court of Arbitration was illegally constituted in breach of the Indus Waters Treaty. Its “award” on interim measures and the status of the Treaty has no legal standing. India never recognised this body, never appeared before it, and will not be bound by its pronouncements.
Sovereign decisions on the Indus Waters Treaty remain firmly in India’s hands. The Treaty stays in abeyance.

If any Western Army had pulled something like this off for a casevac in a vintage helicopter manufactured in the 60s, their entire state machinery would’ve gone bonkers praising their own & would’ve called it the sortie of the century. Most folks don’t fully realise that the probability of not coming back from such a flight for the pilots is more than a safe return. Next time in an airshow near you, try if you can get a glimpse of the Cheetah’s cockpit. A Maruti Swift dashboard has more components on it.

And yet, our warriors go on and on. Probably landed back, made a good night call home & went to sleep, woke up today for business as usual. Probably both pilots in their late twenties or thirties. Unreal commitment to duty & professionalism. Indian Army for you.

Chandrasekhar died exactly 31 years ago today. At 19, on the boat from India to Cambridge in 1930, he worked out that a white dwarf above ~1.4 solar masses could not remain stable. Eddington publicly rejected the result. 53 years later, Chandrasekhar won the Nobel Prize for his work on stellar evolution.

Brits murdered 35 million of us, contrived 12 devastating famines, looted $45 trillion, reduced India to an opium economy, broke us in two, left us with a life expectancy of 32 years. But we survived.

India is beautiful because Indians are beautiful. Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳

My mom needed surgery, and our U.S. options were around $45,000. We were actually looking at South Korea before my doctor friend recommended India. We came here and paid about $4,500 at a top hospital, including the stay. The quality of care was honestly amazing. If India can fix the travel, logistics, and safety side of medical tourism, the opportunity is massive.

These 6 people knew EXACTLY what RapeLaundry had done by August 2025.
Yet, they made an informed choice to fund RapeLaundry for:
• normalising child rape
• enabling rape
• attacking rape victims

I am afraid Modi doesn't understand that among the urban GenZ that opposed him, no one gives a flying fuck about these videos.

You talking about indic culture won't work for a crowd that's barely Indian. Your disruptive speeches, strongman image, and anti-corruption positioning is what brought you to power and that is what will be appreciated by this cohort as well.

No one is going to tell their friends about your handloom videos. Arrest a few bureaucrats and politicians. Make a reel about that. Talk about crimes of the naxals and how you eliminated them. That shit will be talked about for weeks if not years.

These reels are far more important than your political rallies now. Portray strength for that's who you are.

[Joseph T Noony @JoeAgneya]

There are 3 ancient texts from the St Thomas Tradition-

Gospel of Thomas
Acts of Thomas
Infancy Gospel of Thomas

The first book is FULL of wisdom sayings taken directly from Mahayana sources, especially the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra

The 'Hymn of the Pearl' embedded in the Acts of Thomas is a direct and audacious plagiarism of Pañcāvudha Jātaka- an Indian story about a prince of Kāsī being sent by the King and Queen to Takṣaśilā to be trained on a mission. The audacious author of the Pearl actually named this work 'The adventures of Thomas in the land of the Indians'.

The third book is a retelling of multiple infancy stories about the 'Child prodigy' from the Lalitavistara. ‘Humbling the teacher’, prodigious numeracy/literacy, giving life to birds etc.

Dear Congressman Moore, please don't use St Thomas for Geopolitics. It will horribly back fire one day when the source-critical findings of recent research become public knowledge.

[apoxahsara @jagadaramsha]

the pakistan india rivalry is so unfun and forced at this point. we've so clearly diverged in every aspect of society that there's just no point in this anymore. just beating a dead horse.

we need to close the gap with China, the China-India rivalry is a very good replacment

Glasgow 2026 just concluded yesterday.

A slew of medals & a fourth place overall finish for India.

But of everything from these games, two stories touched me deeply.

A judoka whose father fixed cycles for ₹300 a day, in a mud house, & didn’t live to see his daughter become the first Indian, man or woman, to win Commonwealth Games judo gold.

And a farmer’s son from an Aligarh village who ran on dirt trails just to pass the Army fitness test, & last week became the first Indian ever to win two track medals at a single Games.

Asmita Dey. Gulveer Singh.

No shortcuts, no head starts.

Just hunger & the refusal to stay where they started.

This is what ‘Rise’ actually looks like.

A mud house & a village trail.

No words would be enough to explain why they inspire me.

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Heartbroken & so inspired 💔💔🙏🏽

The Commonwealth Games is becoming a daily roll-call of young Indians who have emerged from unimaginable hardship & horrors to win gold.

Look at 23-year-old judoka Asmita Dey, who is now the first Indian to win Commonwealth Games gold in the women’s 48kg category.

7 months ago, she lost her father to a brain stroke. A bicycle mechanic who earned barely ₹300 a day, he raised his family in a mud house in a small village in Tripura. When a knee injury threatened Asmita’s career, he found the money to take her to Delhi for treatment.

Even as the family mourned, Asmita’s mother urged her daughter to return to training, believing that abandoning the dream would betray everything her father had sacrificed for.

She now stands on top of the Commonwealth Games podium with a gold medal around her neck.

Moment FCRA bill is passed and notified:

End card will start rolling in.

There could be token protest till 15th August.

No NGO would spend cash thereafter. They know their free run has ended.

They'd go into "save cash" mode.

No cash, no protests, no activism.

Bear for now.

[Zahack Tanvir — ضحاك تنوير @ZahackTanvir]

“Modi is a dictator.” Dude, he hasn’t even reached the “D” of dictatorship. Try doing in China, Iran, or the Middle East what you’ve done in Delhi. They’ll give you a real taste of what dictatorship actually looks like. Don’t abuse the leniency!

[Preity G Zinta @realpreityzinta]

While it’s important to support our students and ask for educational reforms that positively impact the future of our youth, it’s also very important that peaceful protests by students are Not hijacked by anti national elements to create chaos & change the nature of the protest.

Seeing so much hate & divide online makes me wonder if bad elements in & outside our country have already started to work overtime to weaponise the anger & frustration felt by our students.

I have always believed in hard work, equality and excellence & that should never be compromised. I also believe in our democracy, law and order & our government, therefore I sincerely hope that both sides enter into meaningful & constructive dialogue & weed out any nefarious elements & agendas out of this protest & conversation , so the future is bright for our youth and for our democracy ! 🇮🇳 Jai Hind !

A los argentinos cuando Maradona metió un gol con la mano no les pareció sospechoso. Cuando su dictadura robó el mundial de 1978 todo estaba bien. Los 5 penaltis en 7 partidos de Qatar tampoco les pareció sospechoso. Todo lo que hemos visto en 2026 hasta la final no les pareció raro… Pero perder una final en la que tiraron 0 veces en 120 minutos les esta pareciendo un robo y todo muy conspiranoico.
