Hindus should know they are in a long term civilisational war. Every Hindu must commit to do his bit and fight on till the goal is achieved. Ensuring global peace and diversity and pluralism depends on defeating the ideas propelling predatory, expansionist and imperialist faiths

[Rishabh Mukherjee @rishabhm]

Politicians in South and West India have been playing this game for decades. They must be laughing at the MP case for its miniscule scale.

This is basic Statistics which we are taught before ordering and interpreting any investigation for making a diagnosis!!!

If Passport is not a document of citizenship then what is??!!!
Strange statement by @MEAIndia!!!
Pray tell us what else constitutes a document of citizenship, @HMOIndia @PMOIndia

[Sidhant Sibal @sidhant]

Passport is a travel document, not document of citizenship, say MEA officials

[Sreemoy Talukdar @sreemoytalukdar]

All that painstaking verification and no less than a stamp by the President of India don't make you a citizen? Wow.

[ಮಹೇಶ 𑀰𑀸𑀲𑁆𑀢𑁆𑀭𑀺 @karatalaamalaka]

The West thought they won Cold War, but communist ideas are deeply entrenched in an influential layer of western society.

Similarly, the West thought they won the War on Terror, but Islamists are increasingly gaining power via leftist parties across America.

There should be clarity that the ideological battle of our times is positive-sum capitalism and American freedoms vs. zero-sum nihilistic Islamo-Marxism.

[Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal]

India should send a high level representative.

This is an opportunity to convey a positive political message to Iran.

It will also convey a message against political assassination of foreign leaders.

The on going peace talks between the US and Iran has created the necessary space for us.

[ಒಬ್ಬ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ @lousybug]

@chandrarsrikant Shouldn't be shocking at all. The US has a President who posts bigoted & racist slurs himself....

Vance’s ‘joke’ comparing wife Usha to Asim Munir reveals a profound moral failure.

My latest.

Suggest @AITCofficial to study history first!

That Sir Doctor Suhrawardy was the uncle of the Butcher Suhrawardy, and he was one who held on to freedom fighter Bina Das and handed her to the British police. He was given his ‘Sir’ title for that very reason that he had betrayed an Indian freedom fighter and saved a British governor!

Your Sir Doctor Suhrawardy was also a Muslim League supporter, and in favour of the ‘two nations’ theory, and later his daughter became a Pakistani politician. Just because he was educated doesn’t mean he was a nationalist. Even Osama bin Laden was an engineer!

Keeping all arguments aside, the name Suhrawardy should have never been used for a Kolkata road because of that name’s role in Direct Action Day riots, and removed right after independence. Any self respecting nation would have done that. But for Congress, Communists, and TMC, the words self-respect and dignity are unknown.

[Puyangan Adiyan @Puyangan5]

This statement keeps getting made ad nauseum. Whether Jinnah was religious or not is totally irrelevant. He was a crazed, hindu-hating genocidal Islamist fanatic who convinced large sections of Muslims that they can't coexist with Hindus in a single nation. The price for that was paid by the Hindus of two Pakistan as Jinnah's progenies committed a ruthless genocide. While hindus in India showed a kind of largeheartedness unprecedented in history and proved Jinnah's basic premise wrong.

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

In the decade preceding @myogiadityanath’s tenure, UP suffered 47,509 cases of Encephalitis leading to 8,373 infant deaths.

34 million vaccinations and 21 million tap water connections later, comes the news that for more than 2 years running, UP has reported 0 deaths. Stunning.

Wanted to highlight the @midf_org project

India's manuscripts picture today
- 1 crore manuscripts. 3+ lakh stone inscriptions. 5,000 years, 100+ scripts.

- Less than 1% of it is machine readable or searchable.

- Most "digitisation" was mostly high-res photos. Becomes a second manuscript locked in a second vault.

What MIDF is actually building:
- Smriti - a unified, open search engine on Indian servers.

- Semi-automatic transcription: AI suggests, a scholar corrects, every correction trains the model.

- Works on a funding-and-standards model: give grant to custodians who keep ownership and digital rights, on the condition they meet one ISO-like spec.

They've had a good pilot phase and are now looking to expand/grow. Do read and back them

Note to the Anglo-West (or east in this case):

This post would have been a good place to use the term "South Asia", since Pakistan didn't exist until more than 3000 years after this university's peak centuries

On the other hand, calling Pakistani grooming gangs "South Asian" is an example of a bad usage of the term, cos they wouldn't exist if you hadn't created Pak in 1947

[Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal]

Depth of Pakistan’s history?

Or depth of ignorance?

Or depth of diplomatic hocus pocus?

Takshashila was founded around 1000 BC. Islam itself emerged about 1600 years later and Pakistan itself was created in 1947.

[ಒಬ್ಬ ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ @lousybug]

India's history, High Commissioner!!!
Pakistan is just 79 years old.
And, more importantly, it identifies itself with the destroyers of Takshashila(Taxila) and actively opposes the ideas and culture spawned there !!!

[Timothy Kane @AusHCPak]

Walking through #Taxila, it’s impossible not to be struck by the depth of Pakistan’s history. For centuries, this was a centre of learning that connected people, ideas & cultures from across the region & beyond. A fascinating visit and a beautiful reminder of 🇵🇰 rich heritage.

[Somnath Mukherjee @somnath1978]

There was no Pakistan 1600 or even 160 yrs ago.

On the contrary, Bezos was merely given a taste of how WaPo covers India. I will count this as "reversing the gaze" 😄
