A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.

And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.

[Nithin Kamath @Nithin0dha]

In a landmark judgment on May 22, 2026, the Delhi High Court held Google liable for trademark infringement.

The case was between Hindware and Google. The court held that, by allowing competitors of Hindware to purchase the keyword “Hindware” (a trademarked name) through Google Ads, Google enabled trademark infringement. The court said that “Hindware” is not a generic English word but a specific brand trademark. By allowing competitors to place ads on that keyword, Google is enabling competitors to divert traffic that should have legitimately gone to Hindware.

This has been a big challenge for companies, both big and small. Even today, if you search for Zerodha, you will see search results from competitors. This has been happening for well over a decade.

Although it is hard to quantify, we have lost a lot of business to this. Think about what happens. Whenever someone searches for "Zerodha", the traffic should rightfully come to Zerodha. But what often happens is that the first couple of results on Google Search are ads, leading the customer to a competitor's website. In the process, we lose business that should have come to us.

This is made worse by the fact that we do not advertise.

There is also an even more ironic thing here. A lot of brands, just to capture the traffic that should have come to them organically, end up bidding on their own keywords. Think about it. If you own a business and have a trademarked name for your business, you still have to pay Google just to hopefully make your name too expensive for your competition to run ads on it.

But now, thanks to the Delhi High Court judgment, we have the option of taking legal action whenever we come across instances of other companies squatting on our keyword.

The other brilliant part about this judgment is that it levels the playing field. And this matters even more for startups, who are already starved for resources and have the odds stacked against them. The last thing they need is for competitors to bid on their brand keywords and steal their traffic.

This judgment now opens up a route for legal recourse whenever such deceptive practices occur.

While keyword squatting is most visible in Google web results, it is an even bigger problem when it comes to app stores. Whenever someone searches for your brand, the first couple of results, both above and below your app listing, often tend to be those of your competitors. And in the case of app stores, I think the ads are even more problematic. When a user clicks on an app-store ad, they often end up installing an app. That is a much higher-commitment action than clicking on a competitor’s web search result and then just closing the page. Because the user has installed an application, the conversions, at least anecdotally, tend to be much higher.

Again, brands that do not advertise are at the receiving end of this. So I welcome this ruling and hope this changes the unfair norms we've been living by for so long.

Stop throwing a fit. Delhi Gymkhana is a private club. No one’s taking away your membership of it. Just that, leave aside valid security concerns, taxpayers are no longer willing to subsidise to the tune of thousands of crores, your stale cutlets and evening swims.

Yesterday senior journalist S Balakrishnan @balettan visited #HathKataroKhamb in Goa. Here 1000s of Hindus were tied to and their hands cut by the Portuguese during the #Inquisition for not converting to Christianity!! We again request #Goa govt to turn it into a proper memorial with a plaque recalling the horrors! @DrPramodPSawant history is very important. Who planned a bridge over a historic place? ☹️

A 95-YEAR OLD'S PRAYER.
The BHOJSHALA is a metaphor for modern Indian "secularism" that has equated any attempt at reclaiming the grandeur of Hindu civilization with naked communalism. But fortunately the HC order has ensured that 95-year-old Vimal Godha from Dhar, who fought for years for the Bhojshala cause, can today without inhibition appeal to PM Modi to bring the idol of Goddess Vagdevi, currently kept in a museum in London, directly to Indore so as to accord him the opportunity of personally overseeing its installation there. The idol's return will bring closure to the suppurating wound caused by not just ISLAMIC but also CHRISTIAN supremacism.

Today is the beginning of Adhik Maas.

Ancient Indian astronomers realized that the lunar year is ~11 days shorter than the solar year. Without correction, festivals and seasons would slowly drift apart.

Their solution was Adhik Maas, an extra month added roughly every 32.5 months to create a self-correcting calendar system based on actual celestial motion.

One of the world’s oldest living examples of scientific timekeeping integrated with civilizational life.

[Kashmiri Hindu @BattaKashmiri]

When the sacred fire of Hawan rises again at Bhojshala, it is not just a ritual.

It is a Civilization announcing that it remembers.

Temples can be occupied.
Generations can be silenced.

But faith survives.

And when faith awakens, Civilizations return.🚩

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

I fully back @narendramodi’s call for austerity measures. But austerity must be guided by cost-benefit analysis, not emotion. Reducing Prime Minister’s security convoy is downright suicidal and exactly what our enemies want. India’s security depends on Modi’s security.

My views:

[Akash Dixit | ಆಕಾಶ್ ದೀಕ್ಷಿತ್ @dixithru]

Stop saying that i am from South India or i am from North India, Instead say that you are from the South Part of India or the North part of India. This small correction will make a difference and it unifies the Nation.

Touch influences the mind—this insight gave rise to Madi, a practice to preserve focus in worship. What was meant for inner focus was distorted into something that divides.

Something deeply disturbing is happening to our scriptures and most Hindus are not even noticing.

Two individuals recently visited a home carrying what they called the “Dwaita Bhagavad Gita.” When the family opened it, they found something that should shake every Sanatani to the core.

Inside the pages of our sacred Gita, they had inserted the words and examples of Jesus Christ.

Pause and think about that for a moment.

The Bhagavad Gita was spoken by Bhagwan Shri Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra thousands of years before Jesus was even born. The original Gita contains zero mention of Jesus. Not one shloka. Not one reference. Not one word.

So why is Jesus suddenly appearing inside our most sacred text?

This is not an accident. This is not a translation choice. This is a deliberate strategy.

When a young Hindu picks up this version for the very first time, perhaps a teenager exploring his own dharma, perhaps a college student wanting to read what Krishna actually said, what does he encounter? A Gita laced with Christian theology. A Gita that subtly tells him our scripture needed Jesus to be complete. A Gita that plants the seed that Sanatan Dharma and Christianity are somehow interchangeable.

This is how civilisational subversion works. Not through open conversion drives. Not through aggressive missionary tactics. But through quiet edits. Through inserted footnotes. Through “comparative” verses that were never there. Through smuggling foreign figures into our 5000 year old scriptures and waiting for the next generation to accept the mixture as original.

First they insert Jesus into the Gita.
Tomorrow they will claim Jesus walked during the Mahabharata era.
The day after they will write that Krishna and Christ were the same person.

This is the playbook. We have seen it before with our temples, our festivals, our deities, our yoga, even our Sanskrit terms repackaged and resold to us with a foreign label.

The Bhagavad Gita is complete. Untouchable. Eternal. It does not need Jesus to validate it. It does not need Buddha, Muhammad, or any other figure inserted into its verses to prove its universality. Krishna’s words stand on their own across millennia precisely because they were never borrowed from anyone.

Every Sanatani parent, teacher, and reader must check the Gita they bring home. Read the publisher. Read the translator. Read the commentary. If foreign figures appear inside Krishna’s words, reject that book. Choose a Gita Press edition. Choose an ISKCON edition. Choose a regional Sanskrit edition with proper acharya commentary.

Our scriptures are not a buffet for other faiths to season according to taste.

Sanatan Dharma is not a vacuum waiting to be filled with imported theology.

Protect the Gita. Protect Krishna’s words. Protect the dharma your ancestors preserved for 5000 years through invasions, persecutions, and erasures.

Jai Shri Krishna 🙏

This hotel is located on the Bangalore to Shivamogga National Highway, in the middle of Nittur Gubbi, it is called Vasudeva Adigas.

All KSRTC buses stop here for lunch. However, if you use Google Pay, you will be paid to a person named Ahmed Latif Khooba.

All the people in the hotel are Muslims.

I asked him if you are from Adiga. He said yes.

What does that mean? He doesn't know

I asked him first if there is non-veg, and he said, "Go there."

This is like cheating by using a Hindu name, what do Vasudeva Adigas say about this, the people of Nittur Gubbi should inquire about it.

If we inquire, a case can be filed against us as a communalist, the police should inquire about this and take action.

Hundreds of such hotels have been coming up on the national highway for the past 2-3 years. #FoodJihad

[The Indian Matrix @indianmatrix]

In 2005, India couldn’t meet 12.3% of its own peak demand. By 2007, the shortfall had widened to nearly 16.6%, and close to 18,000 megawatts were unavailable.

The early 2000s were years of genuine electricity poverty. Factories ran on diesel backup generators as a matter of routine. Homes in smaller cities and villages received power for a few hours a day.

Distribution, which is the final link between the grid and the household, was historically the most neglected and most corrupt part of the chain. Electricity theft was widespread, billing was unreliable, and state electricity boards were financially broken.

Reforms here were uneven and politically difficult, but schemes like UDAY, launched in 2015, restructured the debt of state distribution companies and pushed them toward financial viability. The Saubhagya scheme, from 2017, connected the last unelectrified households, around 25 million of them, to the grid by 2019.

India’s solar capacity in 2010 was negligible. Today, it is measured in hundreds of gigawatts. The price of solar panels fell globally by over 90% across this period, and India made a strategic bet to capture that cost decline at scale. Rooftop solar programmes brought electricity generation to homes, factories, and commercial buildings. And the International Solar Alliance, co-founded by India in 2015, helped build global momentum.

The timing proved critical. India’s peak electricity demand now falls in the afternoon, driven by air conditioning in an increasingly hot country. Solar generates hardest in exactly those hours.

On April 25, around 12:30 pm, solar plants and rooftop systems together supplied roughly one-third of all electricity being generated at that moment. Across the full day, solar’s share was around 22%.

India today draws 52% of its electricity from non-fossil sources. More than half of every unit generated comes from sun, water, wind, or nuclear.

The deficit percentage, which once sat stubbornly above 10%, has now collapsed. Since 2024, it has been effectively zero.

Reliable electricity means a small business owner does not budget for a diesel generator as a fixed cost. It means an electric vehicle is practical for someone who cannot afford to be stranded. It means a student in a rural home can study at night without planning around power cuts. It means a hospital runs its equipment on the assumption that the supply will hold.

Electricity reliability is, in the end, a quiet form of equity. When the grid is unreliable, those with money buy backup. Those without simply go without. India's closing of its power deficit means that the gap no longer falls along economic lines.

The country that once rationed darkness now delivers light on demand, at the moment of highest need, to everyone connected to the grid.

That took two decades and thousands of infrastructure decisions. It is not the kind of achievement that fits in a headline. But on an April afternoon, when 256 gigawatts flowed, and nothing broke, it showed.

We are helping this boy reclaim his lost childhood. Everyone must know his story - that is directly linked to the controversial comment recently made by a Allahabad high court judge

The boy is Vivek

At the age of 10, he went missing from home. While playing with some strangers, he boarded a train with them and ended up 10-s of kilometres away from his village

That group took him to a madrassa in Muzaffarnagar. Vivek was enrolled, ritually circumcised, renamed Mohd Umar, made to memorise Quran daily

Eight years passed

All this while, Vivek told madrassa managers the name of his village and his parents. But no effort was made to reunite him with his family

When he turned 18, madrassa decided to send him to a Gulf country for labour work. When Vivek went to passport office, his fingerprint revealed his Aadhaar-linked details - his real name and his address in a village in UP’s Hardoi

Passport official alerted the pradhan of a nearby Hindu village who alerted the police. Eventually, Vivek’s parents were traced and he was reunited with his family

@KanoongoPriyank took cognisance of the incident, raided the madrassa and issued directions asking all government-aided madrasas in UP to disclose how many children of Hindu parents were enrolled with them

As revealed yesterday, none has complied. Instead, an Allahabad High Court judge made a controversial remark on Kanoongo over this very order

I contacted Vivek recently. He is now 20

He wants to resume his education

He is practically illiterate and works as welding labour

We - @SewaNyaya and @RashtraJyoti - are going to help Vivek return to school

He will reclaim the years stolen from him. Will share details soon.
