Surprisingly, no Australian is saying:
Why did the attack happen? Why were there no security forces already at the beach?
Who benefits from this attack? The govt! Hence, it’s proved it’s an inside job.
Sarhad par tanav hai kya? Pata to karo, Australia mein chunaav hai kya?
No one is born a terrorist; circumstances make them. Australians should look within to understand why the youth is turning to terrorism.
Because only terror apologists resort to conspiracy theories, deflections, whataboutery, and low-grade philosophy to shift the onus from the terrorists and their motives to everything else, something Australians don't have, but we have in abundance.
A few words. India is a really powerful country. No one treats a nuclear power like Gaza or Somalia and India did that, no one stopped a Chinese invasion troop in it's tracks and India did that, and the Chinese army is still struggling to understand what is it doing in Ruthog. The reality is that India is a nearly unstoppable force.
But then. No one is actually concerned about India's military might. Two reasons - one, India is out of the global geopolitical zones, two, India is never interested to become a, forget global, even local hegemon.
On one side we see India capable of inflicting severe pain as like we saw during Sindoor and on the other hand, we see India tolerate infinite pain and don't even bother to react even after very major attacks. This confuses the world - is India weak or is India patient? India not interested in flexing it's muscles and India not responding even to major attacks - the world simply treats India as meek and weak. And when India decides to show it's true power, the world erupts into shrieks and tantrums.
When someone asks, “Why memorize ten thousand mantras when you can store them in one gigabyte?” the answer is: why run forty-one kilometres when you can cover the same distance in a car? The marathon is not for the road. It is for the runner. The climb is not for the mountain. It is for the climber.

Both guys are building things that are essential to building a huge industrial base.
Adani is undertaking all projects that are an absolute turd to execute but just need to get done. Most of this stuff has meagre financial upside. Ports, Power, Mining, Airports, SRA, and Media are basically crap RoC businesses.
RIL is doing more consumer facing stuff, that requires more distribution and expertise to build. I can't begin to describe what a game changer Jio has been. But their work in Energy, Petrochemicals, Financial Services, Media and retail is strategic and critical.
People like to think that they are BJP assets. That's a lazy take. These folks are proxies of the state. They work for whoever is in power. INC yesterday, BJP today, someone else tomorrow.
There are other rich people who can also innovate and build things. These two folks are using their money to build important things. No need to hassle them.
Young people need to see this
Back in 2009, UPA govt was desperately begging Naxals for talks
And Naxals were saying NO
Today Naxals are falling at feet of govt on PM Modi's birthday and begging for peace
India has changed.
Masculinity is not rage, aggression, animated expressions, explosives ness. These are feminine qualities of Shakti.
Masculinity is silent, gambhir, still, stable and un wavering.
It's the Bindu around which creation dances.
Like Grahas move around Surya
Prakriti weaves creation around Purush
Kali Ma rages and Calms down when touched by Shiva
Shakti comes once the Bhairava has been instilled
Gopis dances around Krishna
Kundalini moves towards Sahasrara
Rivers moves towards Ocean
Just like that Femininity flows towards Masculinity.
A meditative yogi is more masculine than a ranting, screeching, wining man
Masculinity has gravity.
It needs absolute nerves of steel veins with ice cold blood to be this man. Not a single word towards all the rage baits. Let Navarro shout and be dealt by citizens of India. And responds in kind to sane messages.
He is teaching the world a lesson in diplomacy.
For the first time in the 11 years that India has battled the ‘anti-India forces’ paranoia, I am a believer of it.
Not because i read it somewhere or because Nepal is protesting. But it just makes sense
1. The world’s eye is on India and Modi for standing up to DJT and White House.
2. Clearly, prima facie, India’s stance is victorious. The photo ops from the SCO have spooked White House.
3. India is the freeweight in the Allies vs DragonBear polarity of the new world. Wherever India goes, weight will shift.
4. Modi has shown he is hard to break. But, that opens up space for an opposition that will collude and that will make the deal. Its just how democracies work. The incentive is personal victory, and the hope is that personal victory and national victory will align in the long run. Any reasonable opposition or alternative would be interested in outing modi, and any foreign power would be interested in helping them.
5. Peace (or the symptoms of it) have come in too cheap and too easy. It took only (one sided) verbal jousting over a few weeks. That means gears have shifted, and not necessarily for the best.
6. The entire subcontinent and neighbours have been disrupted over the last 5 years- Mayanmar, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka…
The reason for this is to declaw china and re empower allies. India is the last bastion.
Tricky times ahead for India for sure. Dont be so sure of peace. Be grateful for the stability we live in.
This was here long before you came here, long before you existed there. It’s not an assault on your rights, it’s where your rights emanate from.
It’s not even a Hindu figure. Commissioned by a Buddhist regime, carved by Zoroastrian carvers, Hindus had nothing to do with it.
And yet, once unearthed, we Hindus preserved it, upheld it, accorded it a pride place in the gallery of national sigils. India is the Hindu Rashtra that made a non-Hindu figure its national emblem. That’s our inclusivity.
Your patriotism is questioned not just because you’re outsiders, but because you stand out like a sore thumb in rejecting everything that makes us compatriots.
Why such visceral hatred, but more importantly, why the demand for love and tolerance in exchange for such visceral hatred?
India is nonaligned in the Russia-Ukraine war, much like the US was nonaligned during the Napoleonic Wars, freely trading with both the French and British. The prevailing global power at the time, Britain, was so irked in the early 1800s that it imposed a trade embargo on the then fledgling US and forcibly conscripted neutral American seamen (impressment) into their war effort against Napoleon’s France
An indignant President James Madison set off the War of 1812 in a speech to the US Congress declaring, “It has become, indeed, sufficiently certain, that the commerce of the United States is to be sacrificed, not as interfering with the belligerent rights of Great Britain; not as supplying the wants of her enemies, which she herself supplies; but as interfering with the monopoly which she covets for her own commerce and navigation. She carries on a war against the lawful commerce of a friend, that she may the better carry on a commerce with an enemy; a commerce polluted by the forgeries and perjuries, which are, for the most part, the only passports by which it can succeed.”
Replace the words “United States” with “India”, and “Great Britain” with the “United States” in Madison’s speech, and you get the same exact geopolitical circumstance today
India feels no different as President James Madison did in response to @realDonaldTrump-@RealPNavarro-@LindseyGrahamSC-@SenBlumenthal’s sanctions/tariffs for the former’s Russian oil purchases

After destroying hundreds of Grand Ganesh temples with towering statues, some Mughal local landlord allowed this artist to paint Lord Ganesh it seems.
But only as a minature painting in Mughal style where Ganesh Ji himself looks Mongol with Turkic headgear.
This Mughal patronizing patronage is what we need to celebrate according to the current offsprings of genetic losers against medieval Mughal oppresion - the epigentically mentally colonized Mughal sepoys in India today.
Again read the above para and try to understand it. I am serious in explaning to you the behaviour of some today:
The ancestors of these people were brutally oppressed, their women raped, their wealth taken, to force them into submission.
It passed on as an epigentic trait to survive, with the gene still switching on today in many, from award winning kollywood heros to award winning goan journos, to automatically be a sepoy for the long gone Mughals and their progeny, promoting them even today.
This is the elite which India inherited in 1947 and which was coopted by Nehru and his family, and they in turn became the loyal followers. In the true tradition of a Mughal Kabila, India is just a piece of land for extracting revenue and resources. That's why it does not matter is they rule over Indians or if local population is replaced by Bangladeshis or Rohingyas or even Pakistanis. As long as they are the chosen masters, the nature of servants don't matter.
Walk into any college classroom in India and ask students about Direct Action Day and the Great Calcutta Killings, you’ll find blank faces.
Our misdeed of whitewashing history. Nation’s misfortune.
Other countries, including China and US, would have come to negotiating table with Naxals, Khalistanis and Kashmiri Jihadis after decades of battle
But it was only the Indian state which had the stamina and cortisol tolerance to fight it out and defeat the menace
Sending battalions after battalions, taking casualties day in and day out
We should learn from these countries
Portugal – Nationwide sterilisation & vaccination drives, coupled with adoption incentives. Euthanasia banned for healthy animals.
Netherlands – Achieved “zero stray” status without killing a single dog through mass sterilisation, microchipping, strict breeding laws, and heavy fines for abandonment.
Chile – Mobile veterinary units provide free spay/neuter services in rural and urban areas, making prevention accessible to all.

I humbly disagree that my post is “idiotic.”
It is not idiotic to say that the Indian IT sector has failed India in the age of technology for over three decades by failing to invest the money it has earned in local innovation.
This lack of investment has hindered India’s progress in becoming Atma Nirbhar in so much of tech we use. Unlike in the case of UPI and Aadhar which came with a hard GoI push and investment.
Btw, both UPI and Aadhar became a huge success in Indian tech innovation for the masses thanks to the GoI and private IT sector working together.
This is one of the reasons I advocate for a government push using a Sovereign Wealth Fund, created by a forced down the throat regulation, from the idle capital of our IT companies to give an impetus to Indian innovation in tech.
It is not idiotic to say that Indian IT companies have exploited Indian labor only for their profit using labor cost arbitrage. But failed to invest that profit for creating India's own tech.
They will call for 100 hour work weeks from employees. But will never say they will make 1 truly innovative Indian tech product out of 100,000 employees working 100 hours a week to replace a foreign tech used in India by 1 billion.
Their foreign slaving practices have persisted even after they have earned sufficient profits to invest in developing innovative technology products for an attractive market of a billion people created by the GoI with cheap data and internet access.
It is not idiotic to say that Indian IT companies do not invest as much in our startups and researchers as they should.
Why would they when they can easily make money by hiring cheap tech coders from colleges instead of funding Indian tech researchers at universities who can innovate products for our people?
Just to say my post is “idiotic” to other Indians, it has to be unfortunately on an American-owned platform on American-developed computing and servers, going up to protocol level.
Even if some technology can be claimed as “Indian,” it will only be considered Indian innovation in name, not in control.
This tech enslavement of India is a reality that will only worsen as technology progresses rapidly in the West in this age of AI.
It is not idiotic to recognize that India should not become tech slaves of the United States, or soon, China.
The presence of Fortune 500 and foreign companies with R&D centers in India does not negate the fact that they are also utilizing cheap Indian labor to create and own the technology.
This is not different to how Reuters and BBC employ Indian sepoys to attack India, generating and owning anti-India narratives on a daily basis.
If the US wants, it has the power to shut down much of useful internet access in India at will. There would be no platform where I could post my “idiotic” posts.
It is so bad that the Prime Minister cannot reach his hundreds of millions of followers on the internet, as his social media platforms, apps, and website all rely on numerous US services.
It’s not idiotic to ask why Indian “IT Services” companies aren’t able to provide simple similar services to this day to the PM?
Even the “Dot in” domain is not managed by India. In August 2018, India’s National Internet Exchange appointed Neustar Data Infotech, a subsidiary of Neustar Inc. from the USA, as the country’s new registry services provider.
Should we wait for Trump to order them to block all .in domains for a day or a US company like Cloudflare to block access to half of the websites Indians use for many days?
It is not idiotic to question why Indian IT “services” companies aren’t still offering these essential services like DNS and Cloud Security to a billion people and why GoI is not pushing and enabling them to do this.
Now to answer her question: If you deploy one security personnel per 10,000 sq. m, India’s entire army and paramilitary force would be exhausted in just 3–4 major districts of Kashmir.
That’s why deployment is based on threat intelligence, not constant visibility. Pahalgam is a tourist zone, not a combat post, forces aren't normally stationed there, not even in the past.
Yes, it was an intelligence failure, but no system is 100% foolproof, especially when the enemy is trying to harm you 24x7. They need to succeed only once, while you have to succeed every time. It's like a football goalkeeper. Even US intelligence couldn’t stop 9/11, nor could Israel prevent October 7. Intelligence is bound to fail occasionally.
Constantly blaming intel failures shifts focus away from the real culprits, the terrorists and their sponsoring country, and unfairly puts it on the affected country and its forces. If I forget to latch my door one night, that doesn’t absolve the thief or make the robbery my fault.
Even high-security zones can face surprise attacks, and hindsight criticism ignores operational and logistical realities.
