On 29 May 2004, a prominent left-leaning national daily in India offered Narendra Modi some unsolicited advice.

Exactly a decade later, Modi seemingly took that advice to heart packed his bags and moved to Delhi, this time as the Prime Minister of India.

For that timely “2 cents,” we remain grateful to the media house even today.

And we remain equally grateful to Narendra Modi ji for proving them wrong, rising higher, and ultimately earning the nation’s mandate.

Thank you, Narendra Modi ji. You didn’t just become Prime Minister you proved why you deserved to be one.

Those doing or promoting such stunts against India in some countries for photo-ops cannot be just termed as the problem of their host countries only. I have no issues if those countries are willing to provide separatists their land to please the bunch of jokers. But when our leaders are threatened, our diplomats are disrupted from discharging their diplomatic functions, when everyday dramas are allowed in front of our Missions, when our airlines are threatened, when our National Flag is desecrated, when the Indian diaspora not agreeing with them is threatened, when our events there are disturbed, and when Mandirs are vandalised, it no more remains only those countries’ problem. It becomes India’s problem as well. Hence this can’t be allowed to go on endlessly.
Hope our leadership takes a tough call on this.

@Jairam_Ramesh & the entire Indian leftist cartel:

You campaigned for months against Adani’s ₹1.8-2B JKIA upgrade. Project killed.

Now Kenya has handed it to Chinese CCCC for $2.9 BILLION — $1B more expensive.

Not a single protest. Not one statement.

You didn’t stop Adani. You stopped India. China won.

Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti hai. Shame.

It is incredibly frustrating to watch celebrity chefs & pop-history influencers look directly into a camera & confidently state, "Did you know our favorite South Indian staple, the Idli, actually came from Indonesia?" This entire narrative is a colossal house of cards. It is a classic case of academic confirmation bias that transformed into viral disinformation.

When an entire nation is taught to believe that they could not even figure out how to steam w/o foreign intervention, we have to look at the raw data to puncture the bubble.

Almost every single article/tweet/celebrity chef video claiming that the idli is Indonesian can be traced back to exactly 1 source: a single speculative paragraph written by the late food historian K.T. Achaya in his 1994 book, Indian Food: A Historical Companion. Achaya theorized that between 800-1200 CE, Indonesian kings traveling to India brought royal chefs who introduced a fermented, steamed dish called "Kedli."

Yrs after this book was published, investigative food journalists (such as Janaki Lenin) & linguistic researchers actually went to Indonesia to look for this legendary precursor. The word "Kedli" does not exist in any Indonesian language/dialect/historical dictionary. There is no historical record/recipe/anthropological trace of an ancient Indonesian dish called "Kedli." Achaya completely misread/manufactured the term based on a loose phonetic guess, yet it became an accepted "fact" because no 1 bothered to check the data.

The claim that India did not have idlis until the 12th century is thoroughly obliterated by our own ancient libraries. The evolution of the idli is meticulously recorded in indigenous Indian encyclopedias & literature centuries before Achaya’s timeline:

- 920 CE (Vaddaradhane): A classical Kannada text by the Jain monk Shivakotiacharya explicitly details a dish called Iddalige. It was a staple food item offered to Jain ascetics. - 1025 CE (Lokopakara): The earliest available Kannada encyclopedia, written by Chavundaraya II, gives a literal recipe for it: soaking split black gram (Urad Dal) in buttermilk, grinding it into a fine paste, mixing it with spices & the clear water of curd.
- 1130 CE (Manasollasa): The Western Chalukya King Someshvara III wrote a monumental Sanskrit encyclopedia detailing royal cuisine. He explicitly gives the recipe for Iddarikā describing how the urad dal cakes are prepared & cooked.

When skeptics are confronted with these ancient texts, they quickly shift the goalposts. They argue: Okay, fine, India had Iddalige, but it was just made of Urad Dal. It did not use rice/long fermentation/steaming... those techniques came from Indonesia! This is textually & technologically false.

Critics often cite the 7th-century Chinese traveler Xuanzang, who claimed India did not use steaming vessels. But we do not need a specialized metallic Chinese steam-cooker to steam food. For millennia, Indians practiced Kopotapaka & basket-steaming, tying a thin muslin cloth over a standard clay pot (Kunda) filled with boiling water, placing the batter on top & covering it with a lid. In fact, the Kanchipuram Idli is still steamed in traditional bamboo baskets lined with Mandhara leaves.

To say India did not understand fermentation until the 12th century is a historical joke. India is the cradle of complex biomaterial fermentation. The Rigveda & Ayurvedic Samhitas from 1000s of yrs ago are packed with advanced formulas for fermenting grains, herbs & dairy to create Asavas, Arishtas, Kanji & Dahi (Curd). The natural wild bacteria (Leuconostoc mesenteroides) required to leaven idli batter live natively on the husks of black gram found right here in the subcontinent.

Why do celebrity chefs keep repeating this lie? Because of a deeply ingrained post-colonial inferiority complex that dominates modern food media. There is a structural bias that assumes any advanced, scientific culinary technique, like molecular leavening/pasteurization/specialized steaming must have been imported to India from somewhere else. It sounds edgy, counter-intuitive & intellectual for a chef to tell an Indian audience that their national breakfast is not actually theirs.

The idli is a native, organic, ground-up evolutionary masterpiece of South Indian kitchen science. It evolved naturally from the lentil-based Iddalige of the 9th century into the perfectly balanced rice & lentil fluffy wonder we eat today. The next time a chef tries to tell you the idli is from Indonesia, ask them to show you the recipe for "Kedli." Watch how fast they fold.

I am 76 today. When I turn back it was poor childhood. Someway death kept itself away and I survived. Later i went to the seminary where I studied religions, English, philosophy. After knowing Jesus is a made up figure I left the seminary ans studied engineering & HR. Taught in college, became a manager, CEO, wrote 35 books, took inspiring sessions. Each day I do 75 minutes' exercise. Weight came down from 85kg 20 years back to 64 now. BP climbed down from high to below 80/120. Eat only twice-good veg, fish, fruit nuts, spices, drinks water & coffee. Enjoy teen like energy. Study how to prevent diseases, keep health span & impart it to all. I am grateful for having got a chance to pass this way. In the cosmic time scale we come & go like a bubble but let us enjoy each moment. We are a part of this universe to which we will return & our energy will remain there for ever.

Gandhi and Ambedkar are a couple in the world of Cockroach Janta Party.

There was hardly anything common between them; Ambedkar literally expressed 'relief' when Gandhi was killed. Such level of intellectual incoherence and cognitive dissonance can exist only in politicians.

FRAUD by @tnhrcedept continues in Kanchipuram Sri Varadaraja Perumal Temple!

After the Learned Judicial Magistrate - 1 - Kanchipuram issued final order on 05th June 2026 in C.M.P. No. 124 of 2026 directing the Vishnu Kanchi Police Station officials to register an FIR on a compliant lodged on 04.12.2025 -
-- the Commissioner of @tnhrcedept has now relieved the Assistant Commissioner Ms. R. Rajalakshmi of the Department illegally functioning as the "Executive Trustee" of the Sri Varadaraja Swamy Temple, Kanchipuram. (more about this lady Rajalakshmi, later)

But in her place one Mr. Srinivasan, an Executive Officer, who is now functioning in Sri Subramania Swamy Temple, Ettukudi, Tiruvarur District (Another Temple where Executive Officers have been functioning only by FRAUD) has now been posted as Executive Trustee (Additional Charge) of Kanchipuram Sri Varadar Temple.

Ettukudi Temple is 300 kms away from Kanchipuram. This is in complete violation of Section 25-A of the TN HR&CE Act, 1959. A strained FRAUD by the Commissioner who had to remove the corrupt lady from the Kanchipuram Temple.

The above posting by the @tnhrcedept Commissioner is - in Contempt of the orders of the Constitutional Bench of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India and the orders of an Hon'ble Division Bench of Madras High Court.
I request Hon'ble Minister @RameshOffcl to cast an enquiry into this continuing FRAUD by the Commissioners of the @tnhrcedept and the Secretaries to Religious Endowments Department and put an end to the FRAUD. Hon'ble Minister should not allow this continuing Contempts of Court Orders by his Department officials.

Nothing exposes the distance between elite politics and civilizational reality more brutally than this letter (attached snippet from SELECTED WORKS OF JAWAHARLAL NEHRU, SECOND SERIES, VOLUME 47).

Hindus were fleeing East Pakistan amid persecution. Their lives, honour, homes, lands, temples and futures were becoming increasingly uncertain. They crossed the border seeking safety in the only country they could call their own.

And Nehru’s concern?

“My anxiety is that we should not do anything which encourages people to migrate to India…” as he writes himself.

The Hindu victims of Partition were treated as the problem. The persecution that produced them became secondary. In contrast, when Sardar Patel made similar demands for Punjab and even proposed to use vacated houses of Muslims and mosques to house refugee Hindus, Pandit Nehru repeated the same anxiety. There were many reasons why the gap between Patel and Nehru had widened so much that the former had chosen to resign (we have the draft letter which wasn’t submitted). He had gone to see Gandhi to convey his resignation but was pacified by the Patriarch. Gandhi had proposed a meeting between the two (Nehru and Patel) which would never happen, as the day Patel visited him was 30.01.1948.

For generations, Indians were taught a carefully curated version of history. Then the archives opened.

Paper has a habit of preserving truths that propaganda cannot bury.

Tamil Nadu produces 1.5 lakh+ engineering graduates every year.

But TN engineers are SELLING SAREES, NOT BUILDING ENGINES.

Not because they lack ambition — because the system failed to create jobs worthy of their degrees.

📌 Only 6 in 10 https://t.co/h7fU9kaZb9 grads are considered job-ready (India Skills Report 2025)

📌 Average salaried worker earns ₹21,285/month — not enough to live with dignity in any Tamil Nadu city

📌 Only 3% of jobs promised under GIM 2024’s ₹6.64L cr investments have materialized

When engineers become showroom salespeople, it’s not a career choice. It’s a policy failure.
