जैन धर्माला "परप्रांतीय" म्हणणाऱ्यांना अक्कल कधी येणार? 🤣
विदर्भ,मराठवाडा,खानदेश,पश्चिम महा.इतकेच नव्हे,तर कोकणातही जैन धर्माचा इतिहास आहे.
आज अनेक दिगंबर जैन मुनी हे मराठी आहेत.त्यामुळे जैन धर्माचा महाराष्ट्राशी असलेला संबंध केवळ ऐतिहासिकच नाही,तर आजही तितकाच जिवंत आणि दृढ आहे.
In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!
During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.
May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?
Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?
In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?
The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.
It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.
Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.
Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?
India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
On the pious occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, we pay tribute to the timeless teachings of Mahavira - apostle of peace, non-violence, and truth.
Across the length and breadth of India, his serene presence lives on through exquisite sculptures carved in stone - silent yet powerful reminders of a philosophy that transcends time. This visual journey brings together glimpses of these remarkable depictions preserved at various heritage sites.

Home Minister Amit Shah demolished years of propaganda of the likes of Suzanne Arundhati Roy, Kanhaiya Kumar, Nandini Sundar, Nivedita Menon, Human Rights Organisations and Naxal sympathiser Gang of JNU in four sentences.
"When naxal girls were rehabilitated by us as part of the rehabilitation program run by certain NGOs and voluntary organisations, the young girls used to weep tears of joy while putting on nailpolish, mehendi as they had not enjoyed this luxury ever."
"Grown men while meeting their parents, would start fighting with them, blaming them for destroying their life &future by keeping them in the custody of naxals."
Amit Shah : "It is very convenient to talk about the human rights of Urban Naxals sitting in AC premises, writing articles on them or in universities with police protection, but one should visit these rehabilitation camps to fully comprehend that your baseless prejudiced support for the urban naxals, destroyed the lives of more than 15000 young kids."
The 1990s and 2000s were among the most challenging periods for the Indian Army in Kashmir. It fought the world's most severe insurgency with limited resources and support. During this time, there was little distinction between civilians and terrorists, as Islam served as a powerful unifying force, making locals inextricable in the conflict against Hindu India. Footage shows how locals, including women, organized protests and blocked roads, obstructing troop movements. Terrorists, including Afghans and Pakistanis, operated freely with sophisticated weapons that the Indian Army did not possess at the time. Foreign-funded human rights organizations hindered anti terror efforts, exerting undue influence over the state and centralgovt. I am a testament to those times—indeed, very difficult times.
Dear GoI,
“Sources” is not a valid medium. Press release is, press conference is, parliamentary statement is, MyGov is, even tweets from official handles are.
When you want to say something, say it. Don’t play Chinese whispers.
You’re a government. Act like one!
As you look at the horrific pictures of the bombed Iranian school…
Pause for a minute and think..
Indian Air Force and the Army were given 2 and 7 terror targets respectively to hit on the night of May 6-7 in Op Sindoor…
Each was fully destroyed…
On the morning of May 8, the IAF carried out extensive air defence suppression using long-range kamikaze drones…
On May 9-10 the IAF targeted 14 PAF bases or radar stations/missile batteries…
Destructive evidence of almost all these strikes cane up in satellite pictures…
All strikes were carried out by precision munitions from long distances…
Not one missed aim or strayed to harm civilians… no school, no village or city, no hospitals. None…
This despite not having a fraction of the US military weapons, sensors or surveillance ability…
And in a furiously contested air space against near-peer PAF and its Chinese air defences…
Let’s give credit where due. To our armed forces in this case…

Yes, this is the reality of trains on the Mumbai–Howrah Main Line once they enter #LateDivisionCKP jurisdiction.
This has been happening daily for 2–3 YEARS.
Passengers suffer. Silence continues.
Meanwhile, corporate maalgaadis get priority over Superfast & Premium trains.
We urge @narendramodi Ji, @AshwiniVaishnaw ji to urgently review operations of #LateDivisionCKP #LateZoneSER
How long will passengers suffer? 🚆💔

Rang De Basanti’s message was, “kill corrupt politicians and die doing so.”
Animal’s message was, “kill anyone who offends your father.”
One was a “classic,” the other was a “bad effect on our kids.”
Gangs of Wasseypur’s message was “you kill my men, I kill yours, rinse, repeat.”
Dhurandhar’s message is “Pakistan a terror state. Terrorists ought to die.”
One was “art,” the other is “too much testosterone.”
And you wonder why reviewers are no longer relevant?
3 years ago 70 African kids, 68 of them less than three years old, died after taking cough syrup from a Haryana manufacturer. Reason? Toxic contamination.
The contaminant in question is diethylene glycol or DEG, an industrial solvent commonly used in antifreeze, paints, brake fluids, and plastics.
Cough syrups need solvents too, but the preferred choice is glycerine, which is safer and approved for pharmaceutical use.
Problem is, while pharma-grade glycerin can run up to ₹80 per kilo, DEG can easily be procured at ₹50 or even lower.
Both are similar in viscosity and sweetness, which makes it a bit harder to tell. The adulteration is not some inadvertent result of negligence or poor hygiene. This is deliberate malpractice to cut costs, a practice too common in India to even raise eyebrows anymore.
But how did this get approved by the state FDA?
A 2023 letter to the ACB accused the state drug controller, Manmohan Taneja, of accepting $5 crore to switch samples.
In the same year, WHO issued a “medical product alert” against two items from the Noida-based Marion Pharmaceuticals. Of course, the Indian government did nothing to probe and the company’s syrups continued to be exported to other countries in carefree abandon.
The following year, 68 kids died in Uzbekistan after being administered a Marion-manufactured syrup. The Uzbek Supreme Court sentenced an Indian to 20 years in prison for importing the product into their country.
The Maiden founder was jailed in 2023 but we don’t know if anything happened to the FDA officials who approved the batches. We also don’t know if anything happened to the folks at Marion.
This is the rot we’re living with.
This country does not value life.
Neither others’, nor its own.
And of course I’m saying all this as a Soros-funded deep-state agent planted to destabilize India. Hope I’m doing a good job.
Go and ask your Lord Vishnu to do something. You say you are his staunch devotee. So go and pray. - Chief Justice of India BR Gavai to a Hindu petitioner seeking restoration of the beheaded idol of Lord Vishnu at the Javari temple.
After the proceedings at the SCO Summit venue, President Putin and I travelled together to the venue of our bilateral meeting. Conversations with him are always insightful.
