Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.

The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.

This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.

A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

The West poured $50 billion into fast breeder nuclear reactors and abandoned every single one. India poured $900 million and just achieved criticality on the first commercially viable one outside Russia.

The US spent $15 billion. Gave up. Japan spent $12 billion. Their Monju prototype had one sodium fire in 1995 and never recovered. The UK spent $8 billion. Germany spent $6 billion. France, Italy, all walked away. Six of the richest nations on Earth concluded this technology was too hard and too expensive to pursue.

India started building in 2004 with an initial budget of $420 million. Twenty-two years, a dozen missed deadlines, and a cost doubling later, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam just sustained a controlled fission chain reaction. The reactor is now alive.

The reason India never quit is a constraint most people have never thought about. India has only 1-2% of the world's uranium reserves. For a country of 1.4 billion people trying to build energy independence, that's a death sentence if you're running conventional nuclear.

But India has 25% of the world's thorium. The single largest national reserve on Earth.

The problem: you can't just burn thorium the way you burn uranium. A physicist named Homi Bhabha designed a three-stage nuclear program in the 1950s specifically to solve this. Stage 1: burn natural uranium in heavy water reactors, collect plutonium as a byproduct. Stage 2: feed that plutonium into fast breeder reactors, where it breeds MORE plutonium AND converts thorium into fissile uranium-233. Stage 3: burn thorium directly at scale.

India just entered Stage 2. Seventy years after Bhabha drew it up on paper.

The math on the thorium endgame is wild. At current energy consumption rates, India's thorium reserves could power the country for over 700 years. Most nuclear nations are playing a uranium game with maybe 80-100 years of runway. India is playing a completely different game with a 7x longer fuel supply.

The West quit because uranium stayed cheap and sodium coolant is terrifying. It catches fire on contact with air. It explodes on contact with water. Russia's BN-600 had 27 sodium leaks and 14 sodium fires between 1980 and 1997. And Russia kept going anyway because Russia doesn't quit nuclear projects. India watched all of that and kept going too.

When you have 1% of the uranium but 25% of the thorium, the engineering difficulty stops being a reason to quit. It becomes the price of admission to a 700-year energy supply that nobody else can access.

#Dhurandhar 2 is not just a movie; it is a full-blown kaccha chitta of how obsessively Pakistan is invested in destabilizing India, the kind of plots it cooks up, and how ruthlessly India and RAW shut them down.
If you watch it with a victim mindset, you will probably cry that it is “against Muslims, it is full of hate.”But if you watch it as an Indian, from a geopolitical viewpoint, you will see exactly what it is about, India vs Pakistan, plain and simple.
I loved every second of it, the raw bloodshed, brutal fights, unpredictable twists, hard-hitting dialogues, and perfectly timed comic relief. The background score slaps, and every actor shows up to deliver. No lazy performances, no fillers.

Ranveer Singh as Hamza Ali Mazari & Jaskirat Singh looked stylish as ever, delivered a performance that was raw and electric.
Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal was cold, controlled, and gripping. Rakesh Bedi as Jameel Jamali, Gaurav Gera as Mohammad Aslam, Mustafa Ahmed as Rizwan, and Danish Pandor as Uzair Baloch all delivered solid, convincing performances. Sara Arjun as Yalina held her own and added emotional weight where it mattered.

But the man who truly owned the screen was Madhavan as Ajay Sanyal. His entry scene alone was worth the ticket price. The swagger, the authority, the way he smokes like he is signing death warrants, pure cinema. Meanwhile, Ranveer as Jaskirat perfectly captures shock, confusion, and admiration in front of him. That dynamic was gold.
What surprised me the most was the theatre itself, packed with Gen Z of Indian origin, cheering loudly for India. Watching teenagers and young adults erupt in applause at scenes of India hitting back at cross-border terrorism was both heartwarming and powerful.

Love it or hate it, Dhurandhar 2 does not try to be politically correct. It picks a side, speaks loudly, and makes sure you feel every punch it throws. And honestly, that is exactly why it works.
Applause to Aditya Dhar for delivering this unapologetic, hard-hitting masterpiece.

- The ship was in international waters off Sri Lanka.
- India has nothing to do with it.
- India has no obligation to escort or protect it.
- Iran is in war with the US, not India's war.
- The ship did not call for help from India.
- The ship was not in Indian waters or even EEZ.
- Your claimed US strike has not been confirmed yet.

Islamized India – There is not a nation Islam is not trying to conquer.

Thousands of Kashmiris just seized Lal Chowk - Srinagar's symbolic core, shut down streets for hours, waved black flags, paraded portraits of dead Iranian tyrant Khamenei, beat their chests in matam, and roared "Death to America" + "Death to Israel."

All for funeral prayers to a foreign Shia ayatollah who had zero connection to India.

Where was that same furious mobilization when:

🔺40 CRPF jawans were butchered in Pulwama?
🔺Hindu pilgrims get slaughtered in Jammu?
🔺Kashmiri Pandits were ethnically cleansed from the Valley?
🔺Indian soldiers die defending the nation?

Nowhere. Absolute silence. No crowds, no shutdowns, no rage.

But Tehran calls? Streets paralyzed overnight. Ummah loyalty overrides everything.

This is textbook conquest playbook:

Flood public space with numbers
Disrupt normal life to show dominance
Broadcast foreign allegiance loudly
Normalize disruption while crying "victim" if questioned

It's happening in every non-Muslim country - Europe, America, India. Slow infiltration, then open flexing.

The "peaceful minority" narrative peddled by leftists and liberals? Total lie. This is Islamization in action: claim territory inch by inch, street by street.

Bharat is bleeding while parts of its own soil cheer foreign tyrants over its martyrs.

Wake up before Lal Chowk becomes every chowk.

@priyankac19 Whoever thinks what Trump claims is true and is exactly what India will actually do are too naive. The only take away is US has come down and reduced tariffs immediately which is verifiable. All other things are his claims. Not India's.

Who will tell her??

In 2013, BJP protested against EU FTA because they wanted Agriculture, Poultry and Dairy Products out of FTA as this will be dangerous for our Farmers..

In 2026, BJP signed FTA with the EU and kept Agriculture, Poultry and Dairy out of the deal.

13 Years, Same Ideology !!

Got your answer @SupriyaShrinate ??
