Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.
In the zero hour today raised the issue of judicial over reach in the case of banning Professor Michel Danino and two academics from any role receiving public funds for including a chapter on judicial corruption in NCERT Class 8 textbooks
Marya Shakil is the daughter of Shakeel Ahmed Khan.
A minister who handled Power, Law, and Minority Information in Bihar under Lalu family’s Jungle Raj.
So when she says, “Bhura baal saaf karo was a political necessity,” she speaks from that legacy.
Shame on @IndiaToday for amplifying such voices.
I have been heavily reported by gangs of Neo Nazi Aryan supremacists of Germany and Iran. My visibility has been heavily suppressed.
Please RT if you can see my tweet.
This guy @mehdirhasan? It is as good as inviting Hafiz Syed! Seriously @tatalitlive? What is he going to speak on? How terr0r attacks by Hamas are good?
The same Supreme Court that threw #NupurSharma publicly to the wolves is now refusing to act against Udhayanidhi Stalin for his hate speech against Hindus! India’s judiciary is #antihindu. RT if you agree! https://t.co/LQgYNB5VbD
Can’t believe @bharadwajspeaks is hounded in such a way that he is leaving this platform now.
Its a loss for every Hindu in this platform.
I wish Hindus could understand You. We dont deserve You.
The BJP wants to hang True Indology. In Public. For his referenced, historically cited commentary.
The one who was unparalleled in intellect, who demolished Leftist and Islamist propaganda every waking day, who was the source of strength to millions, is to be hanged in public.
.@bharadwajspeaks has bursted leftist propaganda for yrs & this party that garners it’s maximum vote from Hindus are trying to jail him.
We should show them hindu power in 2024 by not voting for them if this backstabbing continues.

Dear Hindus,
Watch this video..
BJP @Dev_Fadnavis says @bharadwajspeaks should be h@nged in public?
Hαηgεd?
Is trueindolgy a tεπποπιst that he should be hαηged? Is writing a thread such a crime?
Please show him ur support

Responses are pouring in for the "#Ancient#Sanskrit#grammatical puzzle solved after #2500 years" #Cambridge headline. Vyakarana Scholars have said that the claims are far from "pathbreaking"(from the #Grammar perspective).
