This brave police officer was 4 months pregnant.

Abhijit Dipke's goons pelted stones on her. The doctors said it would be difficult to save her unborn child.

And that TERRORIST Abhijit Dipke is still sitting on Jantar Mantar.

Can someone explain why?

“End Muslim appeasement. Those who stand for Hindu interests will lead the nation.”

A powerful message from CM Dr. Mohan Yadav in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly as the state passed the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) Bill. 🇮🇳

A landmark reform aimed at ensuring equal rights, equal justice, and one law for every citizen. A bold step toward strengthening constitutional values, empowering women, and moving beyond vote-bank politics.

Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.

I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.

Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."

Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.

What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.

When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.

In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.

So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

It's a shame no major film has been made about Biju Patnaik. He lived a life that sounds almost fictional:

In 1938, he flew his entire wedding procession by aircraft to Rawalpindi for his marriage to Gyanwati Sethi (who became the first Indian woman to hold a commercial pilot’s license, and the couple later flew daring missions together.)

While serving in the Royal Indian Air Force (including as head of Air Transport Command), he secretly ferried freedom fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Aruna Asaf Ali to their hideouts. He also airdropped 'Quit India' leaflets to Indian troops while evacuating British families.

The British once jailed him for transporting nationalist leaders and distributing anti-British literature but also honored him for bravery in evacuating civilians from Japanese-occupied Burma.

During WWII, he flew daring missions delivering arms and supplies to Soviet forces in Stalingrad, and over the treacherous 'Hump' route to China in
support of Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese.

In July 1947, he and his wife flew a Dakota into Indonesia, landed on an improvised airstrip while evading Dutch anti-aircraft fire, rescued Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir, refuelled using abandoned Japanese fuel, and flew him safely to India via Singapore.

A couple of months later, during the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, he airlifted one of the first Indian troops into Srinagar.

The same year he founded Kalinga Airlines, one of India's earliest private airlines.

As Odisha CM post-1962 India-China war, he secretly visited CIA headquarters at Langley to forge a covert India-US partnership against China, which led to the Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia, which supported U-2 recon missions over Tibet.

He was also a legendary administrator and statesman, laying much of the foundation of Odisha's industrial empire (mines, ports, heavy industries etc).

When he passed away, Indonesia observed 7 days of state mourning. Russia observed 1 day. He remains the only person in Indian history whose body was draped in the national flags of 3 nations - India, Indonesia, and Russia.

Few public figures have left such a footprint.

His extraordinary life needs to be brought to the big screen.

For a long time, I was wondering why @annamalai_k gives a jar of organic turmeric powder at weddings instead of standard luxury gifts. Now I got the answer 😍 The real reason is incredibly eye opening.

It all started during his visit to a restaurant in Coimbatore. What he saw on a board there hit the nail on the head and completely changed his perspective.

Instead of empty slogans, Annamalai anna scaled that exact idea now, every single jar he gifts prints the exact name and details of the organic farmer who grew it.

This is the heartbeat of a true farmer’s son who is genuinely starving to do good for the farmers and people of Tamil Nadu. He turned a repetitive social routine into a direct livelihood for our soil’s heroes.

Vipin Kumar is an Indian construction worker in Romania.

One day, while he was walking near Nicolae Romanescu Park in Craiova, he saw a girl slip through a thin layer of ice and start struggling in the sub-zero water. Her father tried to reach her but became trapped in the broken ice.

Without any hesitation, Vipin used a nearby sledge to slide toward her. When the ice broke beneath him as well, he plunged into the freezing water, managed to grab the child, and held her above the surface for nearly 30 minutes until emergency crews arrived.

Both Vipin and the girl suffered severe hypothermia and were rushed to the hospital, where they received treatment.

Romania granted honorary citizenship to Vipin Kumar for his bravery and for risking his own life to save the girl.

Nowadays, social media is filled with hate against India, and Indians are increasingly being targeted. But when stories like this emerge, they rarely receive the same attention. They are not shared as widely, and somewhere along the way, these stories get buried and forgotten.

Narcotics are dangerously infiltrating TN, threatening our youth and our collective future. To combat this crisis, @WTLFoundation has prepared a policy paper for a Drug-Free Tamil Nadu. The policy paper elaborates on the crisis at hand and also explores the best practices worldwide in the fight against drugs.

https://t.co/SZqMKx6CZa

This policy paper also outlines a definitive 5-year roadmap focused on rigorous enforcement, prevention, rehabilitation, and reintegration to kill the demand for drugs in our state entirely.

[Sonam Mahajan @AsYouNotWish]

Yasin Malik’s men didn’t stop at raping the 27-year-old Kashmiri Hindu nurse Sarla Bhatt. They then murdered her, engraved the acronym ‘JKLF’ on her body, and mutilated it out of sheer contempt for her Hindu identity. After that, they issued multiple warnings to her family against cremating her remains according to Hindu rituals. The family still went ahead with the cremation, defying the threats. When they went to collect her cremated remains (asthi) later, a mob of around 200 Islamists descended upon the crematorium and stomped over them.

They didn’t stop even at that. They then bombed her family home with a grenade.

Do you really think all 200 of those monsters who showed up at the crematorium were foreign infiltrators, Pakistani terrorists, or JKLF members? These are the questions that make many Kashmiri Muslims very uncomfortable. The moment you raise these issues, especially when they present a narrative portraying their community as victims, they label you an Islamophobe or resort to similar accusations.

I have seen all kinds of Islamists, but the tribe in Kashmir is the craftiest. Many of them pretend to be atheists in private, yet their public behaviour and political leanings tell a completely different story. Very hard to take their words at face value.

Newly published: A landmark book on Indian mathematics

I am honoured to be one of the first recipients of this new book by Prof. K. Ramasubramanian of IIT Bombay. “The Elusive Ratio and the Advent of Calculus in India” is the result of meticulous multidisciplinary research in mathematics and Sanskrit.

Prof. Ramasubramanian is a renowned scholar of both Sanskrit and mathematics (he holds a doctorate in Theoretical Physics, a master’s degree in Sanskrit, and a bachelor’s degree in engineering). He has authored three books on Indian mathematical treatises—“Gaṇita-Yukti-Bhāṣā”, “Tantrasaṅgraha”, and “Karaṇapaddhati” (all published by Hindustan Book Agency and later by Springer Verlag).

In his latest book, running to around 450 pages, Prof. Ramasubramanian documents and explains the development of approximations of and expressions for pi (π, “the elusive ratio”) given by Indian mathematicians over hundreds of years. It starts with Vedic ritual geometry and the Śulbasūtras, covers the seminal contributions of Āryabhaṭa and Brahmagupta, and culminates in the infinite power series for π given by Mādhava of Saṅgamagrāma. The book thus traces the lineage of mathematical ideas that predated some aspects of modern calculus, developed in Europe, by three hundred years. The book offers an accurate account of the history of mathematical ideas in India: there is no hyperbole, no tall claim, and no sweeping history in the book. It situates the Sanskrit works in their historical and intellectual context, presents the Sanskrit verses and text, and explains their meanings with detailed diagrams, tables, and notes.

The book is a must-read for students and scholars of the history of mathematics and Indian Knowledge Systems. I congratulate Prof. Ramasubramanian and the publisher, Garuda Prakashan, for bringing out this landmark book. I also thank Prof. Ramasubramanian for sending me a complimentary copy.

Bibliographic details: K. Ramasubramanian. “The Elusive Ratio and the Advent of Calculus in India”. City of Gurugram: Garuda Prakashan Pvt. Ltd., June 2026. ISBN 978-93-476-9139-3. Paperback.

Decades before the UK grooming scandal, India suffered the 1992 Ajmer grooming and mass rape horror. Journalists and politicians hushed it up for fear of being branded Islamophobic. Children who were raped still do the rounds of courts to get justice. As grandmothers.
