Today we mark #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay. We recall the courage of all those who were impacted by Partition. It was a moment in history that tore apart several lives…families were uprooted, loved ones were lost and immense suffering was endured.
At the same time, overcoming this, people rebuilt their lives from nothing, turned adversity into achievement and contributed immensely to our nation’s progress. Their life journeys remind us of the strength of the human spirit.
May this day deepen our resolve to preserve harmony and brotherhood in our nation and collectively work towards building a Viksit Bharat.
The USS Gerald R. Ford is not parked near Iran. It is parked off Israel. And nobody is asking the only question that matters: why.
The $13.3 billion crown jewel of the US Navy, the largest warship ever constructed, just positioned itself off Haifa. Not in the Arabian Sea where the Lincoln sits 850 kilometers from Iranian shores loaded for offensive operations. Not in the Gulf where strike range is optimal. Off Israel. Defending Israel.
This is not redundancy. This is architecture.
Two carriers. Two missions. Two entirely different strategic functions. The Lincoln is the sword, positioned to launch strike packages into Iranian airspace within hours of an order. The Ford is the shield, its Aegis missile defense systems creating an umbrella over Israeli population centers against the retaliation that follows the first Tomahawk.
America just split its carrier doctrine into offense and defense simultaneously. That has not happened since the Pacific theater in 1945.
But the positioning reveals something deeper than tactics. When Iran retaliates, and every wargame says Iran retaliates, its missiles and drones fly toward Israel. They will fly through the same airspace where a US carrier strike group is now stationed. Every Iranian missile aimed at Tel Aviv or Haifa must traverse the Ford’s defensive envelope. Shooting at Israel means shooting at, around, and through an American carrier group.
Iran cannot retaliate against Israel without engaging American naval assets. The Ford’s position makes that physically impossible. The carrier is not defending Israel as a favor. It is positioned so that any Iranian response to American strikes automatically becomes an attack on American forces, triggering the full unrestrained weight of US military response without a single additional political decision required.
This is escalation insurance written in steel and seawater. If the campaign goes longer than planned, if munitions run thin in 7 to 10 days, if allies hesitate, the Ford’s position ensures that Iranian retaliation does the political work Washington cannot do alone: it transforms a limited American strike into an act of self-defense that no ally can refuse to support.
You do not park a $13.3 billion carrier where the enemy’s return fire will hit it unless you want the enemy’s return fire to hit it.
The Ford is not there to prevent escalation. The Ford is there to guarantee that if escalation comes, it comes on terms that make American restraint politically impossible and allied participation politically unavoidable. https://t.co/BrzGRrU3VW
VHP helps bring back 500 to Sikhi after their conversion. Question is what are Sikh organisations doing if ‘others’ have to do this job?
Fact is they’re not others. We are theirs and they’re ours. Apne to apne hote hai.
Thank you @VHPDigital

anti-indian racism is so beautifully, childishly pure. they speak english, they're here legally, they work, they don't commit terrorism, they're not in gangs. people just don't like them because they're brown and have weird names. it's like how a Planeteer would explain racism
The U.S. will begin revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.
From “We are the descendants of Turks, not Hindus” to “Mohenjo-daro is in present-day Paxtan, saar. We are part of the ancient Indus Valley civilisation.”
What chameleons.
Rohingyas have a problem in Myanmar because it's a non-Muslim country. So they cross a Muslim country Bangladesh and go to India, a non-Muslim country.
It's called refugee Jihad! #Rohingya
