🚨 BAD NEWS FOR ANTI-HINDI GANG

Russian state media RT has now launched its digital news platform in Hindi. 🇮🇳🤝 🇷🇺

Hindi is going GLOBAL 🔥

[Parimal @Fintech03]

In 1971, amidst the mud & blood of refugee camps, 1 man defied the entire medical world. While doctors begged for IV drips that did not exist, Dilip Mahalanabis mixed salt & sugar in plastic drums & told the dying to drink. He was a ghost who used the physics of the human gut to defeat Cholera. He never patented his formula, choosing to save millions instead of making millions. He died in 2022, an unrecognized giant who gave the world its most successful medicine for the price of a pinch of salt.

Born in 1934 in West Bengal, Dilip Mahalanabis was a pediatrician by training. He was a researcher at the Johns Hopkins University International Centre for Medical Research & Training in Calcutta. He spent his early career in the Silo of elite academic research, studying how fluids move through the human body. Despite his elite training, he was a man of the people. He did not want to stay in a comfortable air-conditioned hospital while a crisis was brewing.

During the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, millions of refugees poured into West Bengal. A cholera epidemic broke out in the camps. People were dying in heaps. There were not enough IV fluids/needles/trained doctors. The conventional medical wisdom said: "Only IV drips can save a cholera patient."

Dr. Mahalanabis knew the physics of S.N. De’s discovery. He knew that if he could get the concentration of salt & sugar exactly right, the gut would pump the water back into the body. He prepared the Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) in massive drums, using untrained volunteers to distribute it to dying refugees.

The mortality rate dropped from 30% to 3%. He proved that a 5 paise solution was more effective than a 50 rupees IV bag. He never patented ORS. He believed that something so fundamental to human survival should belong to the world. Because there was no money/corporate patent attached to his name, the world used his work but forgot his face.

For decades, he lived quietly in Calcutta. He was a global consultant for the WHO, helping eliminate cholera in dozens of countries, yet in his own neighborhood, he was just the retired doctor from down the street.

He died in 2022. It was only after his death that many of his relatives & neighbors realized he was the man The Lancet described as the creator of the most important medical advance in the 20th century.

We finally awarded him our 2nd highest civilian honor, Padma Vibhushan, but it came after he passed away. He lived & died a Ghost.

PROPER 🦏
Dhurandhar is technically good cinema, but it is also pure, unadulterated, and unacceptable propaganda. You don't need to see the full 3.4-hour film to conclude that. I haven't. Now you have to hear me out before you go out to watch this piece of gratuitous gore wrapped in a spy thriller cover.

Aditya Dhar is an insidious bigot, proven by his deliberate choice to show Pakistan in a poor light. He could have chosen Mauritius, which has beaches where the lady spy could prance in a bikini. But no, he chose the lovely Lyari in Karachi. Do we not have kachchi aabadi in India?

My bigotry of low expectations is so profound that I patronisingly conflate 25 crore Indian Muslims with Pakistan, and by extension, Islam, and therefore, I cannot endorse this 'Islamophobia.'

​I must offer my disservice now by preemptively attributing motives to Dhar and questioning the existence of any cinema, however well-made, that my indoctrinated intellect can't easily process.

I haven't seen the film, and I hope I don't like it when I do. My review will follow, but for now, know this: This is not my India. This is not my Bollywood.

​Dear YRF, only your spy universe can salvage what is left of our nice little insulated universe. Please show an Indian spy making love with a terrorist-spy who has vowed a thousand cuts on India. Make love, not war. Peace and out. ♥️☮️♥️

I expect all like-minded global citizens to believe me and support me as I raise the heat in a already hot and fractured society. I will not allow Aditya Dhar to damage the fabric the threads of which I have been pulling so carefully as I pull the wool over your eyes.

Wait for my review where I will condemn the chutzpah of Dhar and pan his big outing after watching the film. Also, Yami shouldn't have married this man. She is a bigot too. Deepika shouldn't have married the nutcase who looks brilliant as the protagonist. She is a bigot too. Compromised by JP Nadda with a brand ambassador role. Also, anybody who watches this film is a bigot. Except the critic with a conscience, like me.

Rating: Dhurandhar gets 0 stars. It's an assault on our collective lack of conscience.

The strongest 3 arguments for India playing Pakistan in Asia Cup

1. Did we not participate in the SCO in spite of Pakistan's presence?
2. Did Neeraj Chopra not compete against Arshad Nadeem in Tokyo?
3. Have we not already avenged Pahalgam with Op Sindoor?

Well,
1. We did not have a bilateral in Tianjin. Pakistan's presence didn't matter. Pakistan exists so it will be present in places where we too are. Like your neighbour goes to the same grocery store but you don't say hi to him because he is an asshole.

2. Neeraj did not play against Nadeem. That sport doesn't pit one against the other like cricket or hockey does. No interaction needed. It's like you and that rubbish fella standing in the same queue at the airport, doesn't mean you help with his luggage. He is a rubbish fella. Let the bugger stumble and fall for all you care.

3. The boycott isn't meant to avenge Pahalgam. The defence forces did that by bombing the terror camps and later pummelled enough airbases to keep their men at work for months.

The no cricket policy, if ever, will be a signal that we are serious about keeping no relations with a state that sides with terrorists. No relations means no cultural or sports exchanges. Zero.

That we will give them a walkover is the weakest argument. They can walk away with a cup for all we care.

No means no touch points.

We can't choose our neighbours but we can choose to have absolutely no business with the neighbour who keeps throwing firebombs into our compound. The only business acceptable is a firebomb from this side.

Letting the kids play gully cricket while the neighbour sharpens his sword is called not learning a lesson ever.

Screw sporting etiquettes. Screw ICC. Screw BCCI. Screw the sports ministry's myriad majbooriyan. And curse the Asia Cup.

Dear Peter Navarro,
India’s boardrooms aren’t run by Brahmins.
Tata? Not Brahmin.
Reliance? Not Brahmin.
Mahindra? Not Brahmin.
Wipro? Not Brahmin.
Birla? Not Brahmin.

But India’s soldiers, scientists, poets? Many were. From Param Vir Chakra heroes to Nobel minds like C.V. Raman, S. Chandrasekhar and Tagore. Unlike some others who are trying to lobby for the Nobel prize, our Brahmins got their prize only through merit.

– An Indian (not a Brahmin)

Kamlesh Singh Ji has a gift that very few have. He can weave words so beautifully that I look forward to the weekly episode of Teen Taal. I also want to give a shout out to his other two co hosts as it is the trio and their back and forth that makes teen taal such a magical experience.

What a beautiful tribute by @AiyyoShraddha to #MileSurMeraTumhara. I loved it. It is also a call to end language fights in a beautiful manner. Go ahead and relive those times. It is a song that doesn’t leave you.

A breakthrough has been achieved by demonstrating quantum entanglement based communication in an experimental setup through DRDO-Industry-Academia Centre of Excellence (DIA-CoE), IIT Delhi. The free-space quantum secure communication using quantum entanglement over a distance of more than one km was shown via a free-space optical link established on the IIT Delhi campus.

Another day, another arrest for speech. State of free speech in India.

Speech, even those in poor taste, is a universal fundamental right. The first amendment to the Constitution put reasonable restrictions on that right and left the citizen at the mercy of law enforcement.

[IIT Madras @iitmadras]

“Operation Sindoor is not just an assertion of National Security — it is a powerful lesson in leadership, technological preparedness, strategic thinking, and national unity.”

In this inspiring message, Prof. V. Kamakoti, Director of @iitmadras, reflects on the significance of Operation Sindoor and the lessons it imparts to us as citizens, students, and future leaders.

A reminder that true strength lies not just in power, but in timely action, empathy, and collective effort.

To the Right Honourable Dr. @ShashiTharoor ,

In an age assailed by orchestrated disinformation and calibrated deceit, your resolute dismantling of Pakistani falsehoods upon the global stage was nothing short of an act of intellectual valour and statesmanlike fortitude. It was a thunderous reaffirmation of civilisational integrity, marshalled through forensic articulation and irrefutable command over truth.

What you delivered was neither performance nor polemic, but a strategic obliteration of duplicity, executed with linguistic puissance, historical clarity, and moral ascendancy. As a thinking follower of your work, I stand both edified and emboldened by the precision of your intervention and the dignity with which you carried the weight of our collective voice.

With the highest measure of esteem and solidarity,
SKS

P.S.: Penned this while wrestling with a thesaurus for 20 straight minutes... trust it does justice to the gravitas of your stand.

शशि थरूर का बड़ा बयान!

"1971 की परिस्थिति एकदम अलग थी,

आज की परिस्थिति एकदम अलग है,

1971 में हमने पाकिस्तान को दो हिस्सों में तोड़ दिया था,

ऐसा इसलिए हो पाया था क्योंकि बांग्लादेश खुद भी अपनी आजादी की लड़ाई लड़ रहा था।"

Some would get this … from the #GodFather

“But let me say this. I am a superstitious man, a ridiculous failing but I must confess it here. And so if some unlucky accident should befall my youngest son, if some police officer should accidentally shoot him, if he should hang himself in his cell, if new witnesses appear to testify to his guilt, my superstition will make me feel that it was the result of the ill will still borne me by some people here. Let me go further. If my son is struck by a bolt of lightning I will blame some of the people here. If his plane should fall into the sea or his ship sink beneath the waves of the ocean, if he should catch a mortal fever, if his automobile should be struck by a train, such is my superstition that I would blame the ill will felt by people here. Gentlemen, that ill will, that bad luck, I could never forgive. But aside from that let me swear by the souls of my grandchildren that I will never break the peace we have made.”
