Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nationโs policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. Indiaโs national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, Indiaโs programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAGโs 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite โน39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the worldโs most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.

This map doesnโt open on the Seven Kingdoms. It opens on a rising India. ๐ฎ๐ณ
Every bridge over a river, every tunnel through a mountain, every road to the last village feels like the opening credits of a nation building its future.

First they will ignore you: 2011
Then they will laugh at you: 2013
Then they will fight you: 2015, 2020
Then you will win: Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal, 2024/2029. (4/n)
Itโs time for journalists in India to stop simping for Pakistani terrorists and to start fighting for the survival of the majority Hindu population of India.
Stop pretending like you can coexist with people who want to replace you and kill you.
Thereโs a reason why nobody wants Pakistan to have nukesโฆ
I simply said the quiet part out loud.
Nobody wants terrorists to have nukes. @sardesairajdeep
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim. @IndiaToday
Mangalore to Kasaragod distance is 45 KMs & 2 Toll gates in NHAI. @nitin_gadkari said minim distance between 2 tollgate is 60km but here distance between 2 tollgates is 23 Kms. @NHAI_Official how do you justify this?Is this even legal? Aren't you ashamed to loot people like this?
As an Ayyappa bhakt, the pain and hurt I felt earlier has now deepened even further ๐
What is coming out now is far more disturbing than what we first knew.
The looting of Sabarimala was not limited to 4.5 kg of gold. Investigations now show that under the LDF-appointed Devaswom board, 4 Panchaloha idols were taken out of Sabarimala and sold to international criminal networks.
Most shocking of all - parts of the sacred Pathinettam Padi, which were replaced during UDF regime in 2015, were tampered with and looted.
As I said earlier, arresting a Unnikrishnan Potty or a Vasu is not enough. This is a larger political conspiracy started under Congress-UDF and perfected under CPM-LDF.
This is not just loot. This is sacrilege. This is a betrayal of Swami Ayyappa and millions of bhakts like me across the world.
A SIT cannot uncover the truth, only a CBI probe can.
And let us not forget, CM @PinarayiVijayan tried to coverup this shameless crime, as a โslip-up.โ
We will ensure justice for Ayyappa bhakts.
Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa ๐

Travelling in Rajadhani express From RC to KSR train number 22692. The coach is full of garbage near the washroom. They have kept some baggage there I think they are giving bedsheets or pillow covers from that. If that is the case it's concerning. Please have a look into it.

เฒฏเฒพเฒตเฒพเฒ release เฒฎเฒพเฒกเณเฒคเฒพเฒฐเณ ?? We are waiting, request the kantara team to release at the earliest. Film alli ardakke nilsidri, we need full version of it.
@hombalefilms@shetty_rishab@KantaraFilm
@maheshscofieldd@alluarjun What was the need of this scene till now I didn't understand, just for the sake after watching the Kantara hype they wrote this scene to get audience. The comparison is out of the box.Pushpa is just a mere copy of the kgf franchise.
There are questions about where Zoho is developed and where the data is hosted and who hosts it. There is a lot of false information we want to correct.
1. All the products are developed in India. Our global headquarters is in Chennai and we pay taxes in India on our global income. As a global corporation headquartered in India, we have offices in over 80 countries and have a strong presence in the US which is a big market for us.
2. Indian customer data is hosted in India (Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai, soon Odissa). We have over 18 data centers globally and they host the respective country or regional data. We are committed to hosting each country data in their own jurisdiction.
3. All our services run on hardware we own and software frameworks we developed, on top of open source like Linux OS and Postgres database.
4. We do not host our products on AWS or Azure. Arattai, specifically, is not hosted on AWS or Azure or GCloud. We use some of those services for regional switching nodes to speed up traffic but data is not stored in them. We are adding many such "points of presence" (POPs) as we speak.
5. Our Zoho Developer account in the App Store and Play Store lists our US office address because the account was registered in the very early days of those stores by one of our employees in the US just to test them out. We never changed that.
We are proudly "Made in India, Made for the World" and we mean it๐
@IRCTCofficial@RailMinIndia@AshwiniVaishnaw I am traveling in 16594 NED-SBC train(2AC), PNR-4738646869,would like to bring to your attention a serious issue on that several passengers holding general (unreserved) tickets have entered the 2AC coach and are refusing to vacate
What's the use of paying so much money and with no proper facilities We request immediate intervention from the railway authorities, TTE, and RPF personnel to resolve this issue, ensuring the safety of reserved passengers.
