Centuries ago, people with a Congress-like mindset plotted to divide Sanatan into Shaiva and Vaishnava.

How did Adi Shankaracharya unite Sanatan from South to North?

When did Shaiva priests in Vishnu temples & Vaishnavas in Shiva temples begin? @Shh_Shaili explains.

->Full props to Ex IAF Chief Bhadauria for always being in support of Tejas , Tejas MK2, AMCA,despite his peers hated Tejas .... After Manohar parrikar, no person from the IAF top bras has shown this kind of spine & patriotism, and kept explaining the magnitude of importance of investing in our fighter programs.
-->MRFA rafale scam lovers r rattled since ,
Tejas MK2 rollout is near....they r deliberately spreading fake news to kill Tejas MK2, and trying to sell Rafale as some kind of miracle weapons.
They fear, Tejas Mk2 wil finsh trials by the time 1st licesne screwdrive rafale rolls out, and lost out to Tejas MK2 in adopting Indian weapons systems.

Muslim terrorists changed aviation security forever.

Cockpit doors used to be easy to open. Then came 9/11. Now they are reinforced and locked.

We used to walk through security in our shoes. Then came the shoe bomber.

We used to carry bottles of liquid. Then came the liquid-explosives plot.

Aviation changed because terrorists found the weak spot and used it.

So after Flydubai, two questions:

Should a crash axe still sit in the cockpit? Should a pilot be allowed to stop flying and pray at the controls?

Security rules exist because the lesson was paid for in bodies.

🚨 Israeli media reports suggest that, in order to set an example, the UAE could hand the death penalty to Omani co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami, who attacked Captain Smit Machchhar and attempted to crash the Israel-bound Flydubai flight.

One of the biggest blind spots in the Western conversation about jihad is South Asia.
India and the wider subcontinent have been dealing with this struggle for generations.

I have lost count of how many random Israelis have come up to us in the last two days telling us how much they love India and how Capt Machchar is a hero!

[Nupur J Sharma @UnSubtleDesi]

Like clockwork, Parsi priest former Justice Nariman sings the same tune.

Robington Nariman is a deeply anti-Hindu former Judge. Spoken against Ram Mandir, called Hindus dictators and tyrants, spoken in favour of Mughal invaders and spoken against legitimate raid against BBC.

The infiltration of the Judiciary is a subject of study, frankly.

[Sankrant Sanu सानु संक्रान्त ਸੰਕ੍ਰਾਂਤ ਸਾਨੁ @sankrant]

You show me any anti-men law and I can demonstrate how it is anti-women.

"The battle of the sexes" is a Western trap, which our politicians have happily endorsed.

In Indian darshan, the genders are symbiotic, not oppositional. Everything which affects one, affects the other.

[Anuradha Tiwari @talk2anuradha]

This pilot should be given a government job immediately to fly all sitting ministers.

Dubai’s crown prince visits Captain Machchhar in hospital

[Alpakanya @Alpakanya]

Indian tourists who were visiting an Indian restaurant in Hanoi, Vietnam were thanked by Israeli tourists for the heroic Flydubai act of Captain Smit. India shining! World is singing his praises, what a proud moment this has been for India 🇮🇳

Air Foce Chief ACM AP Singh : If there is delay in AMCA, we may have to look for other options -- read import.
https://t.co/CdP5Ob3RCa

Just the other day, Def Sec cast doubts on the future of LCA Mk2.

All the nonsense of needing Mk2 to build AMCA and spliting limited resources into multiple projects have led to delays and have left us with nothing in hand when we need them, setting the stage for import for even 5th gen fighter. I for one have repeatedly warned against this.

[Aravind @aravind]

Another function in Tel Aviv, Israel to felicitate Capt. Smit and celebrate the safe landing of the FlyDubai flight.

[Saynotolibrandu @saynotolibrandu]

This was almost 278 years ago. Hindus still remember, but unfortunately a lot of Sikhs have forgotten.

[Maria Wirth @mariawirth1]

Around 1984, I heard a ✝️ priest in Shantivanam, a ✝️ ashram in TN, say, "we need to make the Dalits aware of their massive oppression by Brahmins".
It was a malicious agenda and sadly successful.

[GimpelTheMaccabee🎗️ @MaccabiGimpel]

The Omani pilot asked the Indian pilot if he could leave his seat to pray and after being granted permission, he attacked the Captain with the axe from behind.

This is actually a great metaphor for the west.

[Historianunkil @SudsG5]

This here is the crux of the Indian senior military leadership's thought process.

China spends 3.7x of India on defense. India spends 8x of Pakistan.

Capex on defense - China is 5x but here, India is 9.8x.

But now compare this to equipment,

Fighters - 3.5:1 China India vs 1.8:1 India Pakistan

Though we spend 10x the Pakistanis on capex we barely hold an edge over Pakistan conventionally. The Chinese spend 5x more but have a vastly superior fleet.

Awacs - 10:1 China India vs 1.16 : 1.

Every procurement general, marshal whoever and the defence minister must ideally be tried for sedition here! We have exact parity with the Pakistanis here.

Even the avg infantry trooper. The Indian and Pakistani soldiers are still equipped in 1960's era kit. The Chinese infantry soldier is pretty much cutting edge.

So I ask these generals, where is all that money going?

[Char @cqc_coffee_guns]

The phrase 'the man behind the machine' implies that pilot skill and tactical prowess can overcome technological gaps.

But when the IAF immediately grounded the entire Vampire fleet the very next day after the Chhamb engagement in 1965, wasn't that an explicit admission that romanticizing a pilot's spirit cannot save them from a vastly superior aircraft?

[Sankrant Sanu सानु संक्रान्त ਸੰਕ੍ਰਾਂਤ ਸਾਨੁ @sankrant]

The Yezidi share many practices with Hindus.

In the “no compulsion in religion” lands they faced 74 violent campaigns for their eradication. ISIS was the latest.

These were official “firmans” of the Islamic States to eliminate them.

Hindus face this fate.

[Neeraj Atri @AtriNeeraj]

This should be a warning for all Pilots.

Can you trust to fly with a co-pilot who is a Jihadi?

Speak out now. Don't become a victim of political correctness.
