India enters the big 5 in manufacturing toppling South Korea. At current growth rates, even considering rupee depreciation, India will displace Japan to become the world's third largest manufacturer (> $1 trillion) by 2029.
Also,
1960: $3 billion -> 2015: $328 billion
2015: $328 billion -> 2025: $781 billion
So India has added as much in manufacturing in the last 10 years as it added in the last 70+ years.
While Europe was under ice, someone in Ratnagiri carved a 14-metre map of India.
It's an elephant. Head west to the Konkan, tail east.
Inside it: a tiger in the east, a langur in the north, a boar in Madhya Pradesh, a pangolin in the south. Each animal where it actually lives.
Seven mountains. The Mahabharata also names seven. It was carved 10,000 years before the Mahabharata.
Now the part that should end the argument.
The map's width-to-height ratio is 1.167. Modern India is 1.04. Doesn't match.
Because they weren't mapping modern India.
Reverse-solve 1.167 against the coastline of 12,000 BCE — when the sea was 120m lower and the Sunda Shelf was dry land — and the eastern edge lands at ~100.9°E.
The eastern shore of the Malay Peninsula. The exact limit of the world you could walk to from India at the time.
A decorative outline doesn't do that. A map does.
The oldest known map is supposed to be Çatalhöyük, ~6,200 BCE. This predates it by 6,000 years.
It's on an open plateau. People play cricket near these carvings. The monsoon is erasing it.

India has overtaken the US in having the longest road network in the world as per Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
India is now having 6.7+ million kms of roads, followed by the US at 6.6 million kms, and China 5.5 million kms. India also has the highest road density in the world.
India will continue to lead as India is now adding around 7,000-10,000 kms of highways a year. And will quickly catch up to China in paved roads, where China leads India by 0.5 million kms (India, US come second & third).
10,000 kms of road addition is like laying a road from Tokyo to London every year. This is no joke because if you think post 2020 India's infra boom was spectacular, India has only doubled its investment in infra now compared to 5 years ago.
This gets worse.
So not only did the US Navy fire two missiles and kill three Indian sailors they refused to rescue the 24 Indian crew despite saying they are on fire, the vessel is sinking and that they are an all Indian crew.
The Omanis rescued them.
"Dancing is very bad behavior only when it is Indians doing it in foreign places. If foreigners join in, it becomes an art and celebration of life." - Self hating, Low self-esteem, colonized sepoy minds of India.
This is a big win for India in the last decade.
But even with all such positives, there's an attempt at psyops by foreign seeded narrative using local politicians & account farms that India's environment is at threat.
So it can be used to program the public to fight India's strategic Andaman Nicobar port and military base development.
Public should not fall for it. Remember they are the same forces and it is same playbook adopted in Kenya to evict Adani from doing a project and capture it later.
Indian worker Vipin Kumar has been awarded honorary citizenship by the city of Craiova, Romania, after he jumped into an icy lake and saved the life of a 5-year-old girl. 🇮🇳🇷🇴
For nearly 30 minutes, he held the child above freezing water until rescuers arrived.
This is the side of Indians the world rarely sees in headlines: courage, sacrifice, compassion and humanity.
Yet stories like this seldom receive the attention that anti-India narratives do. No coverage from Western media outlets.
As India's envoy noted, Vipin's actions embodied the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam "The World is One Family." ❤️
Five years ago, in Comilla, Bangladesh, under a Durga Puja pandal, a horrific conspiracy was allegedly hatched against Hindus by placing a Quran under the feet of the Durga idol.
What followed was severe violence: over 500 Hindu homes were set on fire, and more than 23 Hindus were killed, reportedly in response to allegations of blasphemy.
CCTV footage was later examined. It showed a Muslim youth personally carrying the Quran into the pandal. The footage revealed that it was indeed this youth who placed the Quran there.
At that time, Sheikh Hasina’s government was in power. Upon interrogation, the youth stated that Baharuddin had instructed him to place the Quran in exchange for 50,000 (currency unspecified).
Following this, the Bangladesh police began searching for Baharuddin. However, no trace of him was found.
Two days ago, someone reportedly spotted Baharuddin in Kolkata, India, and a video of him circulating online confirmed this sighting.
This morning, Kolkata police arrested the alleged terrorist Baharuddin.
It was reported that his wife, son, parents, and five other family members — eight people in total — were living peacefully in Kolkata. They were said to possess Indian documents including Aadhaar cards and ration cards, indicating that official documentation had been obtained in India.
This woman TMC leader had stocked 100s of white saris (symbol of widowhood) to give out to Hindu women, signalling the murder fest TMC had planned after May 4 results.
Just imagine the cruelty.
Now, people of West Bengal have draped her in a white sari.
Things that are being discovered daily, in Bengal now:
Relief materials were being hoarded.
Hafta was collected from practically all sectors.
People's properties were forcefully occupied.
Colleges were used for $ex & storing weapons/ illegal money.
TMC homes/offices stored ammunition, crude bombs, swords, daggers & daos
Yet some still have no shame & try to gaslight us!
Aditya Sharma’s father is on X pleading for help finding his son.
Not a statistic. Not “collateral.”
He is talking about his SON.
Three Indian seafarers are missing after a reported U.S. Navy missile strike on M/T Settebello off Oman. 21 Indians were rescued. 3 REMAIN missing.
So answer the questions:
Why and who authorized the strike on a civilian vessel ?
Were Indian civilians identified onboard?
What warnings were given?
What rescue was launched?
The U.S. government cannot put civilians in danger and hide behind the word “precision.”
Find Aditya Sharma.
Find Suresh Patnala.
Find Shiv Anand Chorasiya.
CIVILIAN lives are NOT collateral damage in your stupid geopolitical game.

@IndiaToday@journovidya Seriously, You are covering this as some news?
Wow.. If journalists are working to solve smallest of the smallest problems like this, India today could have been so different.
The 2,000+ year-old Thiruparankundram Subramaniya Swamy Temple, the first sacred abode of Lord Murugan stands atop the holy hillock of Thiruparankundram in Madurai.
A Sikandar Badusha dargah was planted on the same sacred hill just 600 years ago.
Today, Hindus are banned from lighting the traditional Deepam on the ancient lamp pillar… because it might “hurt minority sentiments.”
You may call it secularism, but in reality, it is pure humiliation.
@drsunita02 Madam,
Being a doctor - How did you miss this important factor. Late marriages, Struggling for pregnancy, C-Sections, Less support from elders unlike before due to nuclear families.
UP elections are nearing, and the ecosystem is back in action.
Yesterday’s Samajwadis are today’s “student activists.” A look at their old posts is enough to expose the rebranding. This account changed username 53 times.
Student issues are merely the vehicle; the real goal is to manufacture resentment against the govt and create political unrest ahead of elections.
