It's necessary for Hindus to know about both and teach others, to protect future generations!

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.

This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.

Let me tell you what actually happened.

The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.

381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.

India sent five kids.

All five came back with gold.

Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.

We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)

That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.

Now here is what the exam actually was.

Two papers. Each five hours long.

The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.

The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.

That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.

Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.

HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.

Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.

Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.

In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.

Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.

Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.

So who built this.

The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.

They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.

The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.

The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.

Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.

This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.

The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.

That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.

But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.

That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.

So yes, be proud. Loudly.

HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.

But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.

I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.

But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.

Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.

I had deactivated my X account two days ago. I was not feeling elated with my daily feeding Hindus who, in general, do NOT care about their Temples and Dharma - with victory news from Court actions or about the violations of Dharma and Law by the instrumentalities of the Government and the infamous @tnhrcedept
I did not want to be in Twitter for some time.

But Yesterday and Today - Hon'ble Chief Minister Shri Joseph Vijay @CMOTamilnadu and his Hon'ble Minister for the Hindu Religious Department @RameshOffcl have given me - and the Temple Worshipping Hindus in Tamil Nadu - very good news and great expectations! I activated my Twitter account to share the good news!

In the Governor's address in the Assembly yesterday - the intentions of the Chief Minister
- (1) that Temple Funds would henceforth be used only for the pious purposes of temples and
(2) the past instances of mismanagement in @tnhrcedept would be corrected
--- came out very clearly! Very positive developments !!!

As a follow up today Government has issued two G.O.s and has cancelled 46 projects of commercial wedding halls and commercial complexes using Temple lands and funds - which were announced in the previous DMK regime

Only a handful of us who took this matters to Court and struggled for the past 5 years to save the funds of Temples know what a great development this is. Incidentally - exactly one year ago on 19.06.2025 I got a massive stay order on commercial constructions using temple funds from the Hon'ble 1st Bench of Madras High Court, which the @tnhrcedept did not care to obey under DMK regime.
With deep anguish I had prayed for the welfare of our temples yesterday in Sri Koodal Azhagar Temple and in Sri Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple, Madurai - Gods have blessed us with good news. !!!

In my opinion it takes a great leader to do more and talk less. @CMOTamilnadu Shri Vijay is action oriented and we, Temple Worshipping Hindus, appreciate the positive steps taken by him.
Thank You Sir !

🚨Zinedine Zidane on Japan displaying Wataru Endō’s jersey after their 2-2 draw with the Netherlands:

🗣️“I have played football my entire life, and moments like that remind you why this sport means so much to people. When I saw Endō’s shirt hanging on the bench and his teammates holding it after the game, it genuinely touched me.

We spend so much time talking about tactics, formations, and results, but sometimes football gives you something far more powerful. It gives you moments of humanity.

Imagine working your entire career for one final World Cup, only for an injury to take it away just days before the tournament begins. Then imagine watching your teammates refuse to let the world forget you. That’s special.

What struck me most was that Japan didn’t do it for the cameras or the headlines. You could see the emotion on their faces. It came from the heart.

The 89th-minute equaliser was incredible, but I honestly think the image of Endō’s shirt will be remembered longer than the goal itself. Some moments are bigger than football.

As an opponent, you can’t help but respect it. You could see that this team isn’t just playing for themselves anymore. They’re carrying the dream of a teammate who should have been standing beside them.

That’s what makes Japan dangerous in this tournament. Not just their quality, but their unity. They look like a team willing to suffer for each other until the very last second.

And if I’m Endō watching from home tonight, I probably have tears in my eyes. Because no trophy, medal, or speech can replace the feeling of knowing that your teammates haven’t forgotten you.”

At the sacred Vasishta Guha in Devghat Dham, nestled by the holy confluence of the Kali Gandaki and Trishuli rivers, Sringeri Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji beautifully recounts incidents from the revered grantha 'Yoga Vasishta', connecting the wisdom of the grantha with the very land sanctified by Maharshi Vasishta. A rare and inspiring glimpse against the backdrop of one of Nepal’s most revered tirtha-kshetras.

Why is the West not curious on the great Indian 🇮🇳 civilization?

This week Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Norway. The government rolled out the red carpet. King Harald invited for lunch. All bigwigs of Norwegian business turned up. This is of course as it should be at such a historic visit.

Rather different was media. No curiosity, no real attempt to understand India. When the third most powerful man in the world visits Norway, you may expect some real interest? An attempt to understand the world’s third largest economy, a global green leader, one of the world’s brightest civilizations??

It’s not that Norway is overrun with visit at this level. Last Indian top visit was Indira Gandhi in 1983. Last Chinese president visit was 1996, last American president was 2009.

Here are some taste bits from Norwegian media:

* Aftenposten the largest newspaper printed a caricature of Modi as a snake charmer, many found it racist and derogatory. The accompanying article (written by an otherwise brilliant journalist) described Modi as a “slightly annoying man” and simply showcased that India is not high on the papers reading lists.

* Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), the state broadcaster, explained “why prime minister Støre is clearing his desk to receive Modi”. From everyone outside Norway I got exactly the opposite question: Why did Modi use his valuable time in such a small and insignificant place?

* Dagsavisen, a left of center daily, sent a young journalist to throw questions after Modi - claiming that India is 157 on a global democracy ranking. When a ranking is so contrary to common sense - why doesnt she ask those who created the ranking why they spread such nonsense?

I am not aware of one Norwegian journalist closely following India. NOT ONE! How can the public learn more?

Unless you believe democracy only fits a handful of small, homogenous, ultra rich western nations, India is the miracle of democracy. The large, complex, lingustically and religiously diverse nation with many poor people - which has etablished a vibrant democracy and is much less violent than Europe or America.

India can in fact make a claim to be the worlds most homegrown and impressive democracy.

We are entering the Asian century. Unless we Europeans become more curious - to civiliazation, history, politics and economy in the Global South - we will become the big losers of history.

Scary how meticulously planned this operation was. 10 gym owners, including gang leaders Imran and Khaliluddin, befriended 50 Hindu women visiting gyms, recorded videos, blackmailed them, forced them to convert, then sexually exploited them.

They are calling this Gym Jihad.

What started as an “interview” quickly turned into a live fact-checking session for Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng. She arrived armed with the usual toolkit, “Free Press”, “Human Rights”, and a suitcase full of assumptions, only to admit she neither visited India properly nor studied the subject seriously. That’s like reviewing biryani after smelling plain rice from outside the restaurant.

Gaurie Dwivedi, meanwhile, didn’t just answer the questions, she politely bulldozed the very foundation of them. Calm, sharp, and unapologetically articulate, she exposed how selective outrage and recycled narratives are often packaged as “global concern” whenever India refuses to fit into Western stereotypes.

The funniest part? The loud accusations collapsed faster than an opposition alliance after election results. What was supposed to be an attack on PM Modi ended up becoming a masterclass in how propaganda sometimes travels business class but returns economy with excess baggage.

And yes, ambassadors don’t just sit in embassies. Sometimes ordinary citizens, journalists, and professionals become representatives of their nation on global platforms. Gaurie did exactly that, with facts, confidence, and without needing a lecture from people who can’t even locate half of India on a map.

2. Constructed an old age home using temple lands and funds in the Kolathur Constituency of MK Stalin, former Chief Minister- this was done in violation of undertaking given to Hon’ble 1st Bench of Madras High Court and in violation of law.
3. Constructed shopping complexes and commercial buildings with temple funds even after the court ruled against them
4. He was summoned at least three times by the Madras High Court for disobeying orders.
5. Carried out civil works in heritage temples in violation of the stay order passed by Hon’ble Division Bench
6. Transferred Crores and Crores of funds of affluent temples to other temples to construct commercial buildings
7. Forced temples to invest in 2 third rate NBFCs of TN Government
8. Reduced the rentals of temple properties to please the Minister who was after vote bank politics at the cost of temples.
9. Looted Temple Administration Fund to build HRCE offices

English-medium schools: killed mother tongue, created ₹92,000-cr edtech

We hanged our mother tongue in the school assembly so the child could say “Good morning, ma’am” correctly.
Now the child speaks fluent broken Hindi to the grandmother who raised him.

1950s: 1,600 mother-tongue schools shut in first decade after independence.
2025: English-medium schools = 68% of private urban enrolment.
Edtech market (mostly English) = ₹92,400 crore, growing 31% every year.

Your grandfather wrote love letters in flowing Devanagari.
You write “thnx da” and pay ₹1.2 lakh/year to Byju’s so your kid can spell “entrepreneur” before “अनुप्रास”.

Village children once recited Kabir under a tree. Free.
Now urban children recite “synonym of diligent” for ₹1,800/hour on WhiteHat Jr.

80% of India still speaks no English outside the classroom.
Yet we decided the passport to success is a language 12% understand.

Grandmother’s lullabies replaced by Cocomelon in American accent.
Child grows up ashamed of “behenchod” but fluent in “bro wtf”.

Top 100 CBSE schools charge ₹18 lakh/year + “voluntary donation”.
Same fee buys 18 acres in the village where the child’s tongue came from.

We murdered Bhojpuri, Maithili, Tulu, Kodava for a fake British accent.
Then sold Duolingo and Grammarly to fix what we broke.

Every “English honours” degree is a death certificate for one Indian language.

GDP goes up with every red underline on a child’s Hindi essay.

By 2050 we’ll need subtitles to understand our own grandparents.

Who colonised whom this time?

Hope the JPC has also factored in the fiscal damage caused by perpetual election cycles, where parties repeatedly resort to unsustainable freebies to lure voters.
One election cycle means one round of populism, not endless handouts every few months.
