Rail-Road tunnel to Mangalore from Bangalore can unlock the true potential of our entire coastline and port.
But our politicians lack the vision and will to do it.
3 decades of illegal encroachment, cleared 3 years ago & Nature has reclaimed what was rightfully Hers.
The majestic elephants are back at the southern periphery of Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary.
Eviction DOES result in restoration and its continuation will be OUR policy.
Good that leaders are doing this. Why do Indians litter in their own surroundings has to be case study. Even if something good is built for them they'll mess it up, dirty it and ruin it. Most of Basanvangudi is still so clean would be tragic for it to be dirty.
EPFO website is down since last 4-5 days and they have put a notice that it will be back by 30th June and as expected, it is still not up. Atleast change the deadline to 30 June 2047.
We can't maintain a simple website man and we claim to live in digital India.
I just published: Israel Is More Than a Country.
This is my second visit to Israel. The two trips were not the same, and the difference is the whole point of this report. The first visit, in January 2025, was about understanding. The second, at the invitation of the Consulate General of Israel to South India, was about experience. The first taught me why Israel matters. The second showed me what Israel is. Together they have carried me from observation to conviction, and now toward action.

The idea that to be "secular" one must be anti-Hindu is one of the worst low IQ ideas of progressive "intellectuals". That is why they hold conferences to "eradicate" Sanatana Dharma.
The very fabric of Sanatana Dharma is "secular" in the sense of being broad-minded and doctrinally accepting of various faiths, including no faith at all.
So what the progressive intellectuals follow is fake secularism of the worst kind. It attempts to replace the broad-minded spirituality of our ancient land with dogma.
The Deepam Row in Tiruparankundram is a direct consequence of the Sanatana eradication program of the DMK.
@TVKVijayHQ would be wise to reject the pseudo-intellectual garbage of the DMK era.
This does not mean accepting the BJP political philosophy. It means respecting the spiritual heritage of Tamil Nadu and Bharat.
My prayers to Subramanya Swamy of Tiruparankundram to guide us towards a better approach🙏
Shibu Soren took a 50 lac bribe to save the Congress govt. The case was so open & shut that a judge even ordered his bribe to be taxed. But the Supreme Court let him off as bribes came under Parliamentary privilege.
Yesterday, Mr Soren was posthumously awarded the Padmabhushan.
Tulunad themes in KFI are hitting a saturation point.
Any regional dialect and aesthetic becomes exhausting when the industry churns out the exact same formula on loop.
Mandya-themed movies suffered the same fate a decade ago. Now it’s the coastal belt's turn. Stahp already.
If I was India A coach or manager I would have left Vaibhav Suryavanshi out for this game v AFG. Only to let him know that’s it’s not OK to get physical on the field. Whatever the provocations.
Trump retweeted an India Today magazine cover and an entire cottage industry of analysts is now decoding the "signal." He is signaling appreciation. He is signaling strategic depth. He is signaling that Pakistan is merely tactical but India is the real partner.
Stop. Please.
Trump posts a lot of crap daily. He reposts flattering magazine covers the way a grandparent shares photos on a family WhatsApp group. If the cover had his face on it with a nice headline, he was going to share it. That is the entire calculation. There is no signal. There is no doctrine. There is no grand strategic chessboard where a retweet is a carefully calibrated diplomatic move.
Trying to extract foreign policy intent from Trump's social media is like seeing patterns in clouds. The pattern you see is the pattern you want to see. It says more about the analyst than the subject.
Here is a simpler framework that proper analysts use: Ignore what Trump says. Watch what he does.
What has he done? He slapped 50% tariffs on Indian goods last August, including a 25% punitive levy on Russian oil purchases. He recently reduced it to 18%, which is still among the highest for any major trading partner. His military killed three Indian sailors in strikes on commercial vessels off Oman. When asked, he said, "It is a rough profession." He praised Pakistan's military chief Asim Munir, the head of an institution that has sponsored terrorism against India for decades. He claimed he mediated the India-Pakistan military standoff after Pahalgam, a claim India publicly rejected. His Secretary of State Rubio, who once sponsored legislation to cut Pakistan's military aid, now thanks Pakistan for its "partnership in fighting terrorism."
That is the relationship. Not the retweet. Not the "beautiful man" comment. Not the "we will be there for India" line at the G7. The tariffs, the dead sailors, the embrace of Pakistan, and the lies about mediation. That is the substance.
Indian media and analysts have a peculiar weakness for American validation. A US president shares a magazine cover and suddenly the relationship is back on track. It is not. The structural tensions are real and growing. The gap between Trump's words and Trump's actions is not a mystery to be decoded. It is the entire point. The words are designed to distract from the actions.
PM Modi understands this. India's foreign policy establishment understands this. The only people who do not seem to understand this are the commentators who keep mining Trump's feed for meaning that is not there.
