Italy is also a democracy like India. Millions don't like and didn't vote PM Meloni in Italy.
Yet, when Trump recently made a silly remark about Meloni "begging to take pics with him", the whole country, including opposition, have stood behind her.
Nobody is mocking her using Trump's comments. Nobody is saying she has made Italy look weak. None in Italy is taking the side of Trump mocking their PM for some silly political gratification.
My dad turned 82 today.
At 3, he arrived in India as a refugee from Pakistan, settling in a small town in Haryana that didn’t even have a primary school. He helped my grandfather at a tiny shop by a bus stop and sold bidis on buses to make ends meet.
At 12, he moved to Meerut for secondary school, living with relatives where he was expected to do household chores and often treated as an outsider. The stories from those years are heartbreaking.
After Class 10, he started working in Delhi as a typist. One step at a time, he brought his entire family to the city—three younger brothers and two sisters—and ensured they all received a proper education.
At the same time, he never stopped learning. Graduation. Law. Company Secretary. Chartered Accountancy. He studied through every stage of life, even after his three daughters were born, and went on to become a director of several prestigious companies.
For all his achievements, he asked only one thing of his daughters: become professionals and never give up your careers.
Everything I am today is built on that foundation.
Happy Birthday, Dad. ❤️
A Turk goes to Lahore, Pakistan for tourism, and Very quickly, he finds out that the city is nothing but a piece of shit slums basically everywhere. 😭🤢
Just so you know:
A member of Norway's royal family is convicted for 4 rapes
Got just 4 yrs in jail for 4 rapes
More like 4 yr vacation in a luxury "jail" (resort) probably like this
Also linked to Jeffrey Epstein
But Norway's free press is busy asking questions to PM Modi!
Decipherments are notoriously opposed for decades. Champollion s Egyptian hieroglyphics were not accepted till after his death. Linear B was opposed for decades and Ventris was young enough to so he lived to see his acceptance.
Indus script decipherments in journals is always reviewed by 3 people who have sworn that it is not a script.
The work is published and scholars like Sproat and Witzell (who have thoroughly read every update - I get notifications when they do) have struggled to mathematically or linguistically falsify it for years. They should be easily able to do it if they wished. However they resort to argument by disbelief and other fallacies.
It is important enough to them that they inject these fallacies in unrelated conferences.
Don’t talk about things you have no knowledge of.
🚨 SMITA PRAKASH : Your message for Youngsters?
CEA NAGESWARAN ⚡⚡ : "The era of Software, Computer and MBA advantage is over.
I give advice to my children that professions such as welding, plumbing, carpentry and electrical work should be given importance.
Switzerland, Germany, Japan, Korea & even China place a lot of respectability on trade skills.
AI cannot easily replace where human presence is required"
How a single Indian anon (@AgniVesa_07) infiltrated & exposed 42 anti-Indian hate groups...
...And in the process discovered the disturbing role of an Indian political party in all of this.
Saying it again -
Their Empire.
Their colony. Their plunder. Their laws. Their justifications etched in military dispatches and civil records.
Their newspapers and books crafting a narrative of warm fuzzy goodness wrapped in glory.
Their historians.
But as Africa reminds us: Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter.
This lion has learned to write.
~For India, #Churchill was no hero~
What is the need and necessity of constructing a church in such close proximity to a temple, particularly when it could become a source of local tension and public order concerns? The High Court appears to have taken these factors into consideration while rejecting the permission.
The making of Thanjavur Rajarajeswaram temple Vimana Shikara. It is not a monolithic stone, nor it weighs “80 ton". Its real marvel lies in the Chola engineering that assembled dressed stone blocks into one of the finest Shikaras ever built.
Most of us should take inspiration from @SuryahSG.
Born into a lower-income middle-class family, he rose through sheer merit and hard work. His mother was born deaf and mute. He lost his father at just 23, and his mother survived a major accident at the same year.
Despite having no major source of income, he dedicated himself fully to @BJP4India. He faced numerous setbacks in his early political journey, worked tirelessly for 4 years in the #SouthChennai Parliamentary constituency but wasn’t given the opportunity to contest. He then doubled down, working relentlessly for the #Velachery Assembly segment, yet again missing out on a ticket.
Many would have quit. But He didn’t.
Instead, he placed complete trust in the organisation and continued serving with humility and commitment. Despite never being given a chance to contest an election, he continues strengthening the party from within, believing that one day his efforts will contribute to bringing the BJP to power in TN.
A true and humble Karyakarta. An example of dedication, patience, and loyalty.

Even I grew up in Brahmin house with same rules of Madi/ pathu/ echchal. But moved on now, never made a big fuss over the past nor took as a badge of honor for breaking the rules unless you want to malign a community. More to to do with hygiene than caste.
I grew up in a Brahmin house where the rules lived in the hands. Which fingers could touch the rice. Who ate first. What you were allowed to want. A new essay on caste, food, and the things I am deciding not to hand down to my children.

The only army and country that has largely remained clean on the issue of war crimes - is India. That's not because we have a secular govt. That's because we have an unbroken culture that looks down upon war crimes.
That, my dear folks, is the definition of civilization.
They met in college.
Love at first sight.
Both families agreed.
The wedding was beautiful.
He worked in finance.
She worked in marketing.
Two salaries.
One dream.
Then life happened.
Year two of marriage.
EMI on the flat.
EMI on the car.
Office pressure on both sides.
Coming home tired.
Eating in silence.
Sleeping with phones.
The promised love didn't just end.
It evaporated.
That's when he appeared.
A colleague.
A "good listener."
He asked the right questions.
She gave honest answers.
For the first time in months, she felt heard.
He said: "You should speak to someone."
He even had a name.
A number.
The counsellor listened for 40 minutes.
Then delivered her verdict.
"You deserve so much better than this."
No reconciliation discussed.
No communication tools suggested.
Just: you deserve better.
Then came the twist nobody sees coming.
The counsellor handed her a card.
"She's a very good advocate.
She helped me too."
The advocate heard 10 minutes of the story.
Did not ask for the husband's version.
Looked up and said:
"You have a very strong case."
Then added: "You should be independent now."
Independent.
That word landed like a bomb.
498A was filed the next week.
Cruelty.
Dowry harassment.
Cognizable.
Non-bailable.
He was home on a Tuesday evening.
Police knocked.
He didn't understand what was happening.
NCRB data tells the rest.
1 Lakh+ such cases per year.
Conviction rate: 13%.
He hired an advocate too.
And after 3 years of case in the court he said:
"Brother, let's just settle.
This will drag forever."
The settlement ran into crores.
Monthly maintenance: lakhs per month.
She was employed.
Earning well.
The judge granted it anyway.
Both advocates shook hands after.
Now zoom out.
The office friend who "listened."
The counsellor who "cared."
The wife's advocate who "fought."
The husband's advocate who "helped."
The judge who "decided."
Different designations.
One direction.
One wallet.
The husband's.
This is not a coincidence.
This is a supply chain.
Entry point: emotional vulnerability.
Product: manufactured conflict.
Raw material: a struggling marriage.
Output: extracted wealth.
No laws broken.
Everything perfectly legal.
This industry runs at an estimated Rs. 10,000 crore annually.
Across every metro.
Every tier-2 city.
Targeting educated, dual-income urban couples.
The constitution lists victims.
The husband is not among them.
That word.
Deliberately absent.
He will work for the next 20 years.
Not for his dream.
For a settlement he signed.
Under a system that never once asked his side.
When will we stop assuming the man is guilty before he speaks?
PS: This post is not against divorce.
This is against the industry built around it.
