Over the last 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting @narendramodi ji on several occasions. What has stayed with me every single time is his warmth, generosity, and genuine kindness.

Despite carrying the immense responsibility of leading our nation, he always makes every interaction feel personal. This quality of his, among so many others, is something I find truly special.

Yesterday, I got a call from a scammer.

He asked me to pay a credit card bill of ₹2 lakhs.

I asked him, "Which bank are you calling from?"

He replied, "RBL Bank."

Then I asked, "What is the full form of RBL?"

He answered, "Why do I need to tell you?"
After that, he started shouting at me, so I started shouting back at him.

The funny part is that he was trying to call someone else and say, "You have used Murthy's credit card, so pay the bill." But I am Murthy myself! 🤣🤣🤣

What surprised me even more was that he knew my address as well. The question that still remains in my mind is: how are they getting access to people's addresses and phone numbers?

Bear in Russia was seen waiting at a bus stop… waiting for someone to get off the bus.

At 8 in the morning, a woman was walking toward the bus stop when she saw a bear standing there like it was another passenger waiting for the next ride. At first, she froze.

The woman kept her distance, confused and a little afraid, until the bus finally pulled up. That’s when everything made sense.

The driver stepped down, reached into his bag, and handed the bear a piece of his sandwich.

The bear took it gently, ate it, and stayed near the bus stop for a while as the driver got back on the bus.

When the woman finally asked what was going on, the driver smiled and said the bear had been showing up for almost a month.

He had first seen it digging through the trash near that same stop, looking hungry, so he gave it part of his lunch. After that, the bear started coming back every morning, waiting for the one person who had been kind to it.

People online called it strange, but the woman said she understood. Because in some places, a bear at a bus stop is terrifying.

In Russia, it might just be waiting for its friend.

US just learnt hard lesson AGAIN.

US tried hard to pressure Modi Sarkar not to implement FCRA Amendments. Rubio went to Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. Amb Gor rushed to meet HM .@AmitShah very next day of G-7 Summit.

Modi Sarkar said STFU. No compromise on Religious Affairs & Internal Security of Bharat.

Bharat has amended FCRA rules OVERNIGHT to tighten foreign funding of NGOs.

- Foreign-funded NGOs can no longer use categories like "religious education", "preservation of faith traditions", or "indigenous belief systems" for Conversion/Attempted Conversion activities.

- Fresh restrictions on foreign nationals as key functionaries.

- Ultimate Donors must now be disclosed (money laundering through shell identities screwed).

- Social media accounts will be Scrutinised (such accounts were used to incite Manipur vi0£ence)

- Mandatory field verification of fund use.

- Dormant NGOs to lose licences.

US opposing FCRA Amendments is understandable, but why's CONgress opposing?

Anyway! Who cares! Modi Sarkar has done what Bharat needs desperately.

🚨MODI Strikes Back!

India has amended FCRA rules OVERNIGHT to tighten foreign funding of NGOs 🤯

— Big middle finger to US Senators pressurising India on FCRA Bill 🤣

Key Changes:
- Foreign-funded NGOs can no longer use categories like "religious education", "preservation of faith traditions", or "indigenous belief systems" for PROSELYTIZATION activities.
( Proselytization = Attempt to convert)

- Explicitly inserted “excluding proselytisation” in multiple religious categories 💥
- Fresh restrictions on foreign nationals as key functionaries.
- ULTIMATE DONORS must now be disclosed.
- Social media accounts will be SCRUTINISED👏🏼
- Mandatory field verification of fund use.
- Dormant NGOs risk losing licences.

For years, many missionary networks operated under religious/social work umbrellas. These new rules directly target that ecosystem🔥

National interest and cultural security first. What will Congress say?

@Fintech03 This is the biggest desh droh committed by then government. We could have become a major air power by now.

[Parimal @Fintech03]

The sidelining of the HAL HF-24 Marut by the Indian govt is 1 of the most frustrating chapters in our defense history. It was not sidelined because the design was bad; it was sidelined because the airframe was a magnificent, world-class sports car that the govt forced to run on a 3 cylinder auto-rickshaw engine.

Kurt Tank designed the Marut’s gorgeous, area-ruled, swept-wing fuselage specifically to achieve Mach 2. Yet, it lived & died w/o ever fulfilling its true aerodynamic potential. The program was systematically starved & eventually abandoned due to a toxic mixture of internal short-sightedness, bureaucratic failure & brutal international arm-twisting.

When building a fighter jet, we normally pick a proven engine & design the plane around it. India did the exact opposite: we designed a flawless Mach 2 airframe 1st & assumed we could buy/build an engine later. HAL initially pinned its hopes on the British manufacturer Rolls-Royce to develop an upgraded, high-thrust version of their Orpheus engine (the Orpheus 12). Rolls-Royce offered to co-develop it with India for a development cost of about £3 million.

The Indian bureaucracy, suffering from extreme penny-wisdom, rejected the offer as too expensive. India then tried to collaborate with Egypt, which was developing a promising engine called the Brandner E-300 for their own fighter project. India even sent a Marut airframe to Egypt to test it. But following the disastrous 1967 Six Day War & subsequent political shifts, the Egyptian engine program imploded.

Left with absolutely no options, the govt ordered HAL to fit the Marut with twin Bristol Siddeley Orpheus 703 engines. This was the exact same engine used in the tiny Folland Gnat fighter. It was entirely un-reheated (no afterburners) & grossly underpowered. The Marut’s frame was designed to handle immense supersonic forces, but its engines could barely push it past Mach 1 in a steep dive.

The Indian Air Force found itself operating a cutting-edge interceptor that was functionally obsolete in top speed the day it rolled out. While India was struggling to find an engine for the Marut, the Soviet Union walked into New Delhi with a highly seductive, ready-made solution: the MiG-21.

The Soviets offered a full domestic license-production agreement with tech transfers in local currencies (rupee-ruble trade). For a govt facing severe economic strains & immediate military threats from neighbors, the temptation was too high. Why pour millions of rupees and a decade of painful research into stabilizing a homegrown, underpowered plane when the Soviets could hand you a mass-produced, Mach 2 capable interceptor right now?

The Ministry of Defence shifted its priority, funding & focus toward compiling the massive MiG-21 ecosystem, quietly leaving the Marut to starve in the background. The final nail in the Marut’s coffin was geopolitical. In 1974, India conducted its 1st peaceful nuclear test (Smiling Buddha) in Pokhran. The Western world reacted with instant fury, slapping India with strict, sweeping embargoes on dual-use technologies, aerospace components & specialized alloys.

The Marut, despite being "indigenous," still relied on critical British spares & components for its basic Orpheus engines. Overnight, sourcing parts to maintain even the existing fleet became a diplomatic nightmare. Any lingering hopes of importing a Western engine to upgrade the Marut to its true Mach 2 state were permanently vaporized by international sanctions.

The most tragic element of the Marut's demise was a complete lack of long-term vision within the defense establishment. Despite being heavily underpowered, the Marut was an absolute beast at low altitudes. During the 1971 Indo-Pak War, it flew over 300 combat sorties, hitting enemy positions relentlessly. Because of its brilliant aerodynamic design, it was incredibly stable & resilient; several Maruts returned to base safely after taking heavy anti-aircraft fire & having 1 entire engine blown completely apart.

Yet, the decision-makers at the time failed to realize that building an indigenous aerospace industry requires absorbing massive structural failures & investing consistently through the iterations. Instead of viewing the engine crisis as a challenge to conquer by setting up an indigenous jet engine development lab right then, the program was quietly capped at just 147 units & phased out entirely by 1990.

By stopping the Marut program instead of fixing its propulsion bugs, India effectively caused a 30 yr systemic gap in its indigenous design memory. When we finally started the LCA Tejas program in the late 1980s, we had to relearn the entire physics of fighter jet design from scratch & we faced the exact same bottleneck again: the lack of a homegrown engine :((

Avni Kejriwal from Ranchi scores 500 out of 500 marks in CBSE's 12th class after re-evaluation.

"We weren't expecting 500 marks. I am so happy

I had 19 marks deducted in English, which I wasn't expecting.

English is my favourite subject and my strongest subject.

That's why I applied for re-evaluation.

And I got 100 out of 100 in English too"

[The Analyzer (News Updates🗞️) @Indian_Analyzer]

A very interesting point by PM Modi.

There was a time when people demanded basic roads.

Today, states debate:
- Why Vande Bharat is going elsewhere
- Why semiconductor plants are coming to another state
- Why high-speed rail corridors are not reaching them.

That is perhaps the biggest transformation, the ASPIRATIONS of Indians have changed.

The demand is no longer for development, it is for MORE DEVELOPMENT. Do listen to this.

Chronic Dissatisfaction

Modi’s Epic ‘Kambal Kutai’ of the Left-Congress Ecosystem-

▪️This ecosystem perpetually complains: “Why don’t we have 24x7 electricity?”
But when we build power plants, they dispatch their dhapli gangs to block construction.

▪️They ask, “Where are the rare earth mineral sources?”
Yet the moment mining begins, they launch fierce protests against it.

▪️They question, “What is the Modi government doing for AI?”
But when data centres are set up, they cry about “wastage of water.”

▪️They scream about corruption, but the moment corrupt individuals are arrested, they start beating their chests in outrage. 😂

Today Modi has brutally exposed their hypocrisy.

Dear friends we all know this is the season when Dooars & other parts see a lot of rainfall.

Many of the roads are passing through forest only.

Remember wildlife has first right of way on such roads. Give them space and way. Drive slowly and safely.
