@AstroSharmistha Madam, i will be grateful if you could do a prediction for this year's FIFA world cup starting on 11th June in USA, Mexico and Canada. Like to know about Argentina's fortunes
Excellent. Tight, stinging slap on the faces of the ridiculous 'antels' by @kamleshksingh I wholly agree. The most annoying, pretentious and fake among them are in Delhi, West Coast and London. Bengal poll results slapped the living daylights out of them.

@AstroSharmistha@JaipurDialogues U must have heard that Mamata doesn't intend to give her resignation and will not go to the Raj Bhavan to meet the Governor..... while power will anyway get transferred to BJP on 9th May, will this now cause chaos and mayhem in Bengal in the next few days ?
Iran has waived all toll charges for every ship heading to India. This is exactly how India’s foreign diplomacy delivers real results
Things some stupid YouTubers won’t understand
@AstroSharmistha You have been amazingly accurate till now and that does a world of good to our faith back on astrology as a subject. Kudos to you.
Just one question....as per your prediction, how many seats do u think TMC will get this election?
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.
Illustrating distribution & intensity of built infra across the country, the paper maps urbanisation through built-up volumes across districts of India for 3 parameters:
(1) Levels of Built-up Volume
(2) Growth Rates of Built-up Volume by Area
(3) Built-Up Volume Per Capita

Listen to how Islamism dismantled Iran, dissent crushed, minorities forced to convert, flee, or perish.
Now look at INDIA.
After a millennium of invasions, forced conversions, and Partition, it did not turn into a theocracy. Instead, it became a refuge, for Parsis from Persia, Jews from the Middle East, Sikhs and Christians from Afghanistan, Hindus and Jains from Pakistan, Buddhists from Tibet, Muslims from Myanmar, Tamil Hindus from Sri Lanka.
Compare that with what happened to Hindus and other minorities in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and the exodus from Jammu & Kashmir.
India’s tolerance isn’t accidental. It survived because its civilizational core refused to become what persecuted it.
Don’t take it for granted. And don’t for a second sympathise with these Islamists.
@stats_feed This ranking is based on what voodoo economics ?? Take for example Turkey being ranked above India - turkey has an inflation of 50% plus with a Debt to GDP ratio of 25% plus. India has an inflation of less than 5% with a debt to GDP ratio of less than 19%. How is India lower
@realAtlasPress That's a serious joke ! All it effectively did was to Suck out wealth from these countries and make Britain rich. So is for most European countires
@stats_feed China more powerful than India ?? U can't judge power basis the quantum and kind of weaponry or the shear number of military personnel of a country! What about real battle experience ? China 1, India at least 6 ! And we all know the "effectiveness" of chinese AD and missiles !!
