Every time someone in India loads a website, the DNS query routes to a root server in the US to get resolved. One of the world's largest internet populations has zero root server clusters of its own - and India is now pushing ICANN to change that.
- MeitY wants a root server cluster in India for the first time
- ICANN runs clusters in Singapore, Europe, the US, Egypt and Kenya, none in India
- India could get 18 servers mirroring all 13 root servers that underpin the internet
- In-country servers cut DNS latency and let ISPs contain cyber attacks at the gateway
good move

The manner in which some so-called Nihangs have allegedly held the sevadars of Nagarasu Gurudwara hostage for the past several days is deeply unfortunate and concerning.
A serious question arises: were the Local Intelligence Unit (LIU) and the police completely unaware of these developments?
Repeated warnings were being given to the state government that some anti-social elements had entered under the cover of the Hemkund Sahib Yatra.
Had these concerns been taken seriously in time, this situation might have been prevented.
This is not a conflict related to any religion or faith.
It is purely a law-and-order issue and should be addressed as such.
The responsibility of maintaining peace and security lies with the state administration.
Unfortunately, the state government's handling of the matter appears inadequate.
Swift, impartial, and strict action must be taken against those responsible.
The rule of law must prevail, and such incidents should not be allowed to recur in the future.
The next major conflict or war between 🇮🇳 and 🇵🇰 will be a clash between the Indian Defence industry v/s Turkish+Chinese Defence industries.

This is Keratosis pilaris. A common, harmless skin condition that causes tiny rough bumps, mostly on the arms and thighs. Also called chicken skin or strawberry skin. Here's how to handle it:
1. Moisturise: Apply a thick, oil-free, fragrance-free cream at least 2-3 times a day. One application should be within five minutes after bathing on damp skin, and another after exfoliation (point 2). Prefer creams over lotions. Look for ingredients such as urea, lactic acid, shea butter, glycerin, or ceramides.
2. Gentle Exfoliation: Start with two to three times a week to remove dead skin and smoothen the bumps. Use mild chemical exfoliants like urea* 10–20%, lactic acid* 10–12%, ammonium lactate 12%, salicylic acid 2-3%, or retinoid creams (if prescribed). Apply them as directed and then apply moisturiser immediately after or within a few minutes.
3. Shaving or waxing can worsen keratosis pilaris. If hair removal is done, apply a cool compress for a few minutes to soothe the skin, then moisturise.
4. To avoid dryness, keep baths short, around five to ten minutes, use warm rather than hot water, and avoid over-washing as once daily is usually enough.
5. Avoid bar soaps because they dry the skin. Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser instead.
6. Do not scratch, pick, or attempt to remove the bumps manually. Avoid harsh scrubbing. Do not use harsh loofahs, rough exfoliating gloves, or scrub the skin hard, as it irritates and worsens keratosis pilaris.
7. Wear soft, breathable clothing. Choose loose, comfortable cotton fabrics. Tight or synthetic clothing causes friction and can worsen the bumps.
8. Still not helping, visit a dermatologist.
*Urea and lactic acid can function as both moisturisers and exfoliants, depending on their concentration. At lower concentrations, they primarily act as moisturisers, while at higher concentrations, as exfoliants.
