@sabeer Don’t trivialise spiritual pilgrimage; it has both spiritual, economic and cultural benefits . Don’t you see it connects nation so beautifully

[prashanthabib @prashanthabib]

@sabeer So true , these people have terrorised the surface of earth. 🌍 from Pakistan to Europe from Australia to Japan .

[prashanthabib @prashanthabib]

@aravind @Tushar15 @grok what is DS here

[Dr Jason Philip. M.S., MCh @Jasonphilip8]

The world sees Praggnanandhaa as a chess prodigy. They see the trophies, the headlines, the victories over Magnus Carlsen,& the enigmatic smile across the board. They didn't see the journey of this Chennai star.

I saw a middle class Tamil family deciding that a child's dream was worth every sacrifice they could make. They don't see a father working tirelessly so that tournament fees could somehow be afforded. They don't see a mother travelling endlessly with her son, carrying home cooked food across continents because every rupee mattered. Yes, even food. They don't see the thousands of lonely hours spent staring at 64 squares while other kids watched Cable TV.

What makes his story remarkable is that he wasn't even the family's 1st chess prodigy. His sister, Vaishali, was already making waves. Many younger siblings would have lived in that shadow. Instead, he quietly built a light of his own.

By 12, he had become one of the youngest Grandmasters in history. But talent alone never explains greatness. Chess at the highest level, is never merely a test of intelligence. It is a test of resilience. Nezhmetdinov, Parimarjan Negi, Sultan Khan... They were all supremely talented. Yet never made it big.

Praggs had the doggedness, when the path was strewn with thorns & pebbles, the peak was not visible. A test of whether you can keep thinking when exhausted, keep believing after defeat,& keep improving when the world isn't watching.

Then came Magnus Carlsen. For most young players, facing Magnus is like standing at the foot of Everest. Praggnanandhaa climbed anyway. He beat him. Then beat him again. And again. What initially looked like an upset slowly became the arrival of a new force.

But perhaps the most extraordinary thing about him is his temperament. In an age that rewards noise, he remains quiet. Unassuming. In a world obsessed with self promotion, he lets his moves speak. He wins without arrogance. He loses without excuses. There is a rare dignity about Praggs.

Sometimes I think about the absurdity of it all. In a universe containing billions of stars and countless worlds, on one small planet, in one corner of Chennai, a boy sat before a chessboard,& dreamt the impossible. Not because success was guaranteed. It never is. Not because the odds were favourable. It never was. But because he loved the game, his family believed in him.

That, more than any rating or title, is what makes Praggnanandhaa special. His story is a reminder that greatness rarely arrives with fanfare. It is built quietly, one sacrifice, one setback, one ordinary day at a time, until suddenly the world looks up and calls it extraordinary. Jai Hind!

@JaipurDialogues @grok what is the girl saying

[Amish Tripathi | Author | Broadcasting | History @authoramish]

Proto-Elamite?

The Pashupati seal has an elephant, a water buffalo and a rhinoceros. Ancient Elam was centred in southwestern Iran. Elephants, water buffalos and rhinoceroses are not native to ancient Elam. BTW, they are native to India. Also, the figure is seated in a Yogic posture. Is Yoga also Elamite now? Seriously?

Your profile says you are a professor. I don't mean to sound rude, but your students deserve a refund. And seriously, Western universities need to improve their hiring practices.

@Mrsinha @fgautier26 @grok please fact check if this is true

Good for communists

This country needs a Kooda Mantri. Someone who can be in charge of garbage disposal in the country. Municipalities are incapable of handling this gargantuan challenge.

@tishasaroyan While rest of the world is trying to reclaim their original history in its true form , the slaves in India are still peddling lies spread by their masters

[prashanthabib @prashanthabib]

@tishasaroyan kind attention

[Tamil Labs 2.0 @labstamil]

On the trending topic of "Who is a historian?", Shri Vikram Sampath says:
"The great Jadhunath Sarkar started out as a English professor before becoming a historian. DD Kosambi, a Marxist historian had a BA in Math, not history.
I have a PhD in history and I'm a fellow of Royal Historical Society, but it is still not qualification enough for leftists as I'm not dyed in the wool with a JNU stamp" 😂😂

@tishasaroyan Madam, wake up to reality . Most ppl are driven by passion and purpose and not by mere degrees . Steve jobs , Elon musk, Bill gates never had degrees in Computer science or Space tech . Yet they have been to achieve what a show off degrees could even think of

[prashanthabib @prashanthabib]

@tishasaroyan So scary
