Congrats India 🇮🇳 - now the world’s second largest solar market.

→ 50 Gigawatt of new solar capacity added in 2025 alone
→ Total installed capacity now at 150 Gigawatt
→ China holds #1. The United States has slipped to #3.

US is still number 2 in total installed solar capacity, but India passed in actual deployment. This will be supercharged by the war in the Strait of Hormuz. The sun is Indian. The wind is Indian. The great rivers of india are Indian. Every drop of oil India replaces with renewables, make India richer and more energy independent.

The first 50 gigawatt took India 11 years. The next 50 gigawatt tok India 3 years. The last 50 gigawatt, the one that pushed India past the US, took 14 months.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.

May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?

Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?

In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?

The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.

It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.

Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.

Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?

India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

Listen to Ravi Kemmu, father of actor @kunalkemmu and then have the guts to say that 'The Kashmir Files' is Propaganda.

'@VishalDadlani In your opinion the better source would be @ArvindKejriwal
& @msisodia who made fun of the plight of Kashmiri Pandits in Delhi Assembly while debating to make #KashmirFiles tax free ? #Dhurandhar2‌TheRevenge @AdityaDharFilms https://t.co/tLaP3G0t8J

Some pick up a gun and call it victimhood.

Others pick up the truth, reclaim the story and make sure it’s never buried again.

#Dhurandhar2‌

[Nandini @NBDwrites]

Only a few years ago two Kashmiri Pandits glossed over the gore and trauma, recasting Kashmir as little more than a tale of estranged friends and urged viewers to ‘move on’ for the ‘greater good!’

Karma, in its own inexorable way, intervened.

On behalf of those who were killed, those who continue to live in exile, and the enduring shadow of Islamist terror that India confronts even today, Karma ensured that it would be a Kashmiri Pandit who would finally tell the story as it was - as it needed to be told.

For the sake of truth, and for posterity.

[vintage tipu sir_ 53.78_ @onetiponehand_]

They ignored the plight of Kashmiri Pandits for years. Now a Kashmiri Pandit is giving them back in style.

*Navreh Poshte* 🙏 👍 is a traditional ritual observed by Kashmiri Hindus on the occasion of Navreh, which marks the Kashmiri New Year (Chaitra Mass), the arrival of Spring season.

On the eve of the festival, a,*thal* is prepared with rice, curd, bread, walnuts, a pen, a coin, flowers, a mirror, and the new Janthri (almanac).

On Navreh morning, family members look at thal first thing after waking up. It’s believed that seeing these items sets a positive, prosperous tone for the entire year

Why Kashmiri Navreh Gives Goosebumps:

In 3076 BCE, something shifted.

At dawn on Hari Parvat, as Goddess Sharika was illumined,
the Śrī Chakra is said to have revealed itself—a spontaneous sign.

The ancients looked up at the sky.

They took the Saptarshi—the eternal witnesses
and aligned them with Magha, the seat of the ancestors.

In that moment, they made a profound choice:
Time would begin when awareness aligns with memory.

They built not just a calendar—but a living engine:

7 Rishis → the witnessing intelligence

27 Nakshatras → the fields of experience

100 years in each → the rhythm of generations

2700 years → one full civilizational cycle

And that moment still lives.

Today, in the year 5102, you are still inside that same cycle.

When you look into the Navreh thali—
mirror, rice, coin, almanac, the world manifest—

It is not ritual.
It is recognition.

You are awareness.
You are memory.
Behold, you are THE Saptarshi, seeing the world anew.

And just like that—
you step into timeless time.

Happy Navreh.

Dear Kashmiri Hindus, I want to wish you happy Navreh but every time I think of you, I think of the hollowness of my wishes, I think of how we failed you, I think of how 700,000 of you still cannot return to your homes, and so please accept not my wishes but my apologies.

Sorry.
