JEE to INVESTMENT WITH FNO BOOSTER : MATHS CAN CHANGE YOUR DESTINY

[V. Ramgopal Rao, Ph.D. @ramgopal_rao]

I am disturbed to see Prof. Suryanarayana Doola being vilified over the recent controversy at IIT Bombay. I know Surya personally. He is one of the finest faculty members I have known in the IIT system, and a gentleman of the highest integrity. Whatever concerns have been raised should be examined fairly. A public campaign against an individual serves no one.

With over 25 years of experience at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi, here is my take on the entire controversy and also a solution, which I believe we must look into.

The problems we are seeing are all primarily because of the one size fits all approach in IITs.

With students coming through an intensive coaching culture, and classrooms bringing together students whose JEE Advanced ranks range from single digits to five digits (in the same class -for example CSE in IIT Delhi), we now have highly heterogeneous classrooms across the IIT system. Language also further adds to the challenge.

The question to ask therefore is, with such heterogeneity, can we expect every student to learn at the same pace?

There is nothing wrong with opening the doors of our best institutions to students from different backgrounds. The question is whether we have addressed this heterogeneity in our teaching-learning methods.

A faculty member cannot pitch every class at several levels at once. Move too slowly, and some students lose interest. Move too quickly, and others are left behind. In my classes, I have also seen students with excellent JEE Adv ranks struggle. Coaching had prepared them to solve familiar types of questions quickly. Many are lost when they see a question which they haven't solved before.

This is not a difficulty confined to any admission category. The move from coaching to independent learning can be hard for anyone.

Here is a solution.

I feel we should consider moving our https://t.co/KVfDlMnXUZ programmes to five years in IITs. Those who meet the credit requirements could complete it in four years, or perhaps three and a half. Others could spread out their courses over five years and receive more academic help, including recorded lectures, online material and support with language where needed. The pace would be decided by performance within the IIT, not by a student’s admission category or entrance rank.

Calling it a five year programme for everyone has a psychological advantage. Students who need more time would simply be following the programme as designed, while those who are ready could complete it sooner. No one would be singled out for taking a fifth year.

We must uphold academic standards. We must also recognise that students do not all arrive at the same point, or learn at the same pace. Giving them the time and support to meet those standards is a responsibility of the system.

[Ayurveda Monk, The Dr. 🩺🧘‍♂️🍀 @AyurvedaMonk]

He had abdominal pain, weight loss and intermittent blood in stool. The clue came from inside his WATER PURIFIER.

In July 2026, a 40 year old man from Lucknow consulted me online with:

1️⃣ Shifting abdominal pain for 3-4 days every 7-8 days (from last 1 year)
2️⃣ Progressive weight loss: 59 to 54 kg in one year
3️⃣ Blood in stool at few months intervals

Despite a detailed consultation, I couldn’t find any obvious explanation for his problems.

Then he mentioned something important 👉🏼 He had been using a COPPER RO for over a year.

I asked him to send pictures/videos of the inside of the copper tank.
👇🏻
What I saw was striking.
The inside of the copper tank had turned extensively GREEN (video in 2/n)

In Ayurveda, Tamra (copper) Bhasma undergoes several classical quality/safety examinations before therapeutic use.
One traditional test involves keeping the Bhasma with curd for several days 👉🏼 if the curd shows “even slightest abnormal green discoloration”, the Tamra bhasma is considered TOXIC and & unsuitable for therapeutic use.

Considering this Ayurveda parameter, I advised him to stop drinking water from that copper RO immediately and replace it with a non-copper RO.

His Ayurvedic treatment is still ongoing. So far, he reports approximately 10-20% improvement in his symptoms.

Was the copper exposure responsible? We cannot conclude that from this single case.
But the case raises an important question:
When symptoms remain unexplained, are we looking closely enough at the patient’s everyday environment - including the water they drink?

Individual case experience ≠ proof of causation.

Note - If you drink water from a copper vessel, you MUST watch a case video attached at 3/n

BRICS बैठक की खामियाँ निकालने में बड़ी मुश्किल हो रही है।
कोई IFS अधिकारी के खाने का वीडियो वायरल कर रहा है। कोई मेनू में नॉन वेज नहीं होने का मुद्दा उठा रहा है। तो कोई मोदी, पुतिन और शी के बीच एक IFS अधिकारी के फोटो से फ़्रेम ख़राब होने का मुद्दा उठा रहा है।
यही BRICS की बैठक की सफलता का सबसे बड़ा परिचायक है।
वैसे मेरा मानना है कि जब हमारा देश इतना बड़ा अंतरराष्ट्रीय आयोजन की मेजबानी कर रहा हो तो व्यक्तिगत विचारधारा से उठकर इसे देखना चाहिए। ये किसी एक सरकार, किसी एक पार्टी का कार्यक्रम नहीं होता है। ये पूरा देश का कार्यक्रम होता है।
सच पूछिए तो मेरे विचार से ऐसे मौके पर आलोचना राष्ट्रविरोधी हरकत मानी जानी चाहिए।

The Aurat Bazaar

If a female did not die in the mass immolations of JAUHAR, like the Kshatriya and other willing ladies, the Aurat Bazaar was her fate.

The Christian Reverend Robert Welsh, who served as the priest to the British Embassy in Constantinople during the Greek Revolution, starts his book A Residence in Constantinople with the horrifying scenes of women and children taken as slaves by the invading armies of the Turks.

He states: The manner of making slaves, and securing a property, is this - Any fellows who join an expedition as volunteers for plunder would enter a house, and after setting fire to it, and killing generally the adult males, they carry off the property, with the females and boys.

They then proceed to the next custom-house, and having paid twenty piasters, or about ten shillings, they take out a ticket, which certifies the slavery, and then the persons of the unfortunate family become the property of the captors for ever, with all their posterity!

The usual place where slaves are sold is the Aurut Bazaar or Women's Market.

But the oversupply of unfortunate women and children of Chios of Greece was such, that they were exhibited for sale in any public place, even the streets.

The most usual was the Baluk Bazaar, or Fish-market. Here a number of poor girls, of the age of twelve or fourteen, were sold like cattle at an English fair.

Several of them were without trousers, or the necessary articles of dress. Terror and anxiety had so affected them, that they exhibited the most deplorable picture of human suffering I ever beheld, and such as cannot be described.

Despite their suffering, they were treated by the Turks with contempt, without the courtesies of decorum (a sense of modesty) that a Turk shows to any other female.

They were taken and handled with the roughness of butchers examining young cattle, and generally sold at the rate of one hundred piastres, or 3 pounds a head. (382 Rs = 3 UK Pounds today)

You have heard it said that the volatile Greek women are not much affected by change of circumstances, and are readily reconciled to the lot which casts them into the enjoyments of a Turkish harem. Never believe it.

The horror and repugnance felt by the free-born Greek women to slavery among the Turks, under any modification, is invincible, and they infinitely prefer death.

@HomerPavlos

--------------------

Therefore, if the free-born Greek women preferred death, why would the free-born Hindu woman not prefer death in the Jauhar? Slave women were considered worse than cattle and treated with utter contempt while being sold in the Aurut Bazaars of the Islamic world.

The word "Aurut" comes from the Arabic root word ʿawrah' (عورة). In classical and religious Arabic, ʿawrah' means 'the private part of the body'.

Not only was a woman reduced to her vagina, but her value was 382 Rs, cheaper than a good-quality packet of dog food today. At this price, a muslim Turk could buy her for her whole life and do as he pleased with her.

From these Aurat Bazaars comes the Persian/Indian term "Bazaaru Aurat", which means "a woman of the market".

Nowadays, it is used as an insult to describe a woman as being of "bad character," loose morals, or acting in a vulgar or promiscuous manner. In legal and traditional contexts, it is synonymous with terms like prostitute or harlot.

Today, the Halala women who enjoy enslavement and humiliation dare to call the Kshatranis and other brave women who committed mass suicides cowards.

Cowards because 'choosing life' and being a "bazaaru aurat" is their idea of women's empowerment.

Thooo. 🤮

Never Forget and Never Forgive.

BAPS has messed up in France. They have given ammo to anti-India forces operating across Europe spreading hate against Hindus & India. French media is full of this issue (read the issue in comments below).

They have hurt their own reputation and now they are being linked to India, Hindus, and Modi (as he inaugurated them) to destroy their reputations as being anti-women & patriarchal.

There are many Christian institutions in Europe that are exclusively male. But they do not go to a public place and ask women not be present to create a controversy. Even though if they did that there would be little controversy like this.

When you know you are being targeted by some forces, you need to be a lot more careful and sensitive. How difficult is this? The fault lies with the tower operator too but BAPS is the one that made the request.

It is important the BAPS leaders in France and Worldwide give proper public statements, appear in media widely, dispel the myths and propaganda being generated.

@MEAIndia @IndiaembFrance must issue statements and reach out to French media widely to say BAPS request and the tower operator's decision had nothing to do with India. And "India always stands for inclusivity and women participation as a country and civilization."

But, unfortunately, it is likely we won't see such media outreach and counter correcting the issue as everyone will imagine the problem will go away with time. I hope I'm wrong.

Stopped at a dhaba on the Jaipur highway yesterday. Hotel Jammu Himachal Dhaba,

Cheerwa, Udaipur. Bill came: ₹641.90 food + ₹32.10 GST. CGST 2.5%, SGST 2.5%.

Before I paid, I did what I always do. Opened https://t.co/o1skUj6JJH. Typed in the GSTIN from the bill. Hit Search.

Status: Regular Taxpayer.

I paid without a second thought.

But here is what most people don't know and what I have seen go wrong at dozens of small restaurants, dhabas, and shops across India:

A Composition taxpayer CANNOT collect GST from you. Ever.

Under the GST Composition Scheme, a dealer pays a flat tax to the government from their own pocket - 1% for traders, 6% for service providers. They cannot add GST to your invoice.

They cannot charge you CGST or SGST. The moment they do, that amount is being collected from you with zero legal basis.

It does not go to the government. It stays with the owner.

That is not a tax. That is a collection.

How to check in 30 seconds:

→ Open https://t.co/o1skUj6JJH
→ Search Taxpayer → Enter GSTIN from your bill
→ See: Regular / Composition / Suspended / Invalid

If it says Composition and they charged you GST you have the right to refuse payment of that amount and raise a complaint on the GST portal.

This dhaba was clean. Not every one is.

Check before you pay. 🧾

Another north-south divisional movie. You want know what the fictional divide is?

GDN is a Coimbatore industrialist and self-taught engineer often called the “Edison of India.” He was born into a Telugu farming family(omitted from the movie) in Kalangal village,

"A north Indian back-stabbed Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu" is completely fictional rather than a historical fact.

Confirmed with AI before posting here about the fictional part.

Kollywood will never learn. They keep dividing people. Always instill hate against North India in the name of creative liberty.

Tamil Hindus should not fall into their trap and be vigilant.
