“பாரதியோடு பலர் என்னை ஒப்பிடும்போது எனக்கே மிகவும் வெட்கமாக இருக்கும். என் பாடல்களில் அவசரத்திற்காக எழுதப்பட்ட செயற்கைப் பாடல்களும் உண்டு. கவிதைக்குரிய பொய்கள் உண்டு, நான்விற்ற பொருளில் நல்லபொருள் அதிகமில்லை என்பது நானே எழுதிய வரி

ஆனால் பாரதியோ பாரதி முழுக்க முழுக்கத் தன்னுணர்வுக் கவிஞன்

நான் எழுதிய பாடலும் சரி எழுத்தும் சரி, என்னை போன்றே பாடல்கள் எழுதுபவர்களும் இன்னும் பல எழுத்தாளர்கள் எழுத்தும் சரி அவற்றை பாரதியோடு ஒப்பிடும்போது ஒன்றுமே இல்லை, அவன் எழுதியதாக கிடைத்தது சிறிய புத்தகம் என்றாலும் அதைவிட மிஞ்சி யாரால் எழுதமுடியும்?

சுருக்கமாக சொல்லி பெரிய காரியத்தை செய்துவிட்டு சென்றவன் பாரதி, பல்லாயிரமாண்டு இலக்கிய பரம்பரைக்கு தலைகீழ் திருப்பத்தை அவனே கொடுத்தான்

இன்று என் பாடல்களை நான்கு கோடி மக்கள் இரசிக்கிறார்கள்; பாடுகிறார்கள். அதைக் கண்ணால் பார்க்கும்போதும், காதால் கேட்கும்போதும் எனக்கு உற்சாகம் பெருக்கெடுத்து ஓடுகிறது. அதனால் மேலும் மேலும் நான் எழுதுகிறேன்.

அந்த வாய்ப்பே இல்லாமற் போனவன் பாரதி. தன் கவிதையை யார் இரசிக்கிறார்கள் என்று தெரியாமலேயே அவன் பாடினான்…

காலம் எப்படி வரவேற்கும்? யார் எப்படி இரசிப்பார்கள?” என்பது தெரியாமலேயே தனக்குத் தோன்றியதை எல்லாம் பாடினான். அதனால் எந்தக் கவிதையைப் பாடினாலும் தேன் வந்து பாய்கிறது காதுகளில்.

பாரதி ஒரு ஜாதிக்கு, ஒரு மதத்துக்கு உரியவனல்ல; அவன் சர்வ சமரசவாதி. அவன் வங்காளத்தில் பிறந்திருந்தால் நோபல் பரிசு தாகூருக்குப் போயிருக்காது.

துர்பாக்கியம் பிடித்த தமிழகமே!
பாரதியைக் கொண்டாடு!
அதன் மூலம் பாரதத்தை நீ கொண்டாடுகிறாய்,
தேச பக்தியைக் கொண்டாடுகிறாய்,
தெய்வ பக்தியைக் கொண்டாடுகிறாய்,
தமிழ் மொழியைக் கொண்டாடுகிறாய்,
பாரதியைக் கொண்டாடாதவனுக்குத் தமிழன் என்று சொல்லிக் கொள்ள அருகதை இல்லை.”

@saranstm Annamalai has a lot to prove. However his recent acts are not any different from typical regional petty politics. He has to fist decide whether he wants to be known as a refreshing leader or become like Kejerwal

@thekaipullai Congratulations 🎉

At 3:20 AM in India, history has been written. Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa is the Champion of Grand Chess Tour 2026 - and he is the first Indian player to do so! Pragg defeated Fabiano Caruana 15-13 in the Grand Chess Tour Finals at USA.

Praggnanandhaa's name should be synonymous with perseverence at this point. Its been close to a month since Pragg has been playing at the Saint Louis Chess Club in USA - first winning the Saint Louis Rapid and Blitz, then finishing 2nd at the Sinquefield, and now winning the GCT finals to win Grand Chess Tour 2026!

The road to the Championship was certainly not easy. Pragg lost the first classical game, and drew the second one - he had to cover a 6 point deficit. And he did - he won both the Rapid games to take back the lead, and kept his nerve in the Blitz. A draw in the final game was enough, and thats what Pragg did to secure the Grand Chess Tour title.

A huge congratulations to Praggnanandhaa, his team and his family for this incredible achievement - Pragg takes home USD 200,000!

Can you guess what this number is: 43 crore?

That is 430 million. Not vaccine doses. Not Aadhaar cards. Not UPI txns this time.

That is the number of free doctor consultations delivered by a govt telemedicine platform most urban Indians have never even heard of.

It is called eSanjeevani.....

And it might be the most quietly massive digital health system on the planet, bigger, by consultation volume, than any telemedicine platform any country has ever built, public / private.

Look at how fast this scaled, most people assume govt tech moves at govt speed.

This one did not....

- 2019: platform rolled out, mostly experimental.

- Mid-2020: crossed 3 million consultations, right as COVID lockdowns hit and OPDs across the country shut their doors.

- Within a couple more years: past 120 million.

- By January 2025: past 250 million.

- By November 2025: 430 million.

That is not linear growth. That is a curve that bent hard upward because a health worker sitting in a primary health centre in rural Chhattisgarh, with zero specialists for a 100 KMs, suddenly had a video line straight to a doctor at a district hospital.

How it actually works and why the model is smart:

- It runs on a hub & spoke system. 131,000+ rural health centres (the "spokes") connect to ~17,000 hospital hubs.

- A nurse / health worker at a village level centre does the first line consultation and if it needs a specialist, they do not send the patient on a bus ride to the nearest city. They connect them, live, on video, right there.

- And this is not a niche pilot anymore, 93%+ of all usage runs through this doctor to doctor model, meaning it has become genuine day to day rural healthcare infrastructure, not a COVID-era stopgap.

A few more fascinating data points for people mostly doubting any govt run schemes:

- 57% of beneficiaries are women, the demographic that has historically had the hardest time physically travelling to a city hospital for a routine consultation.

- 12% are senior citizens. This is reaching exactly the population that private telemedicine apps, built for smartphone literate urban users with credit cards, were never going to reach.

1 of the largest single interventions in healthcare access in human history, built quietly, by an Indian govt lab (C-DAC), running almost invisibly in the background of "Digital India" headlines that usually go to UPI and Aadhaar instead.

Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏

Never thought of a day when America will be looking towards India to secure our technology for their electoral process.

Elections in India are conducted through EVMs and India also customise it for other nations.

USA trusting Indian EVM is such a good news about our democracy.

[Nick Collins @nickcollins1953]

Migration out of India seeded the ancient world.

Two hills in southwest Ireland are named after a Rig Veda goddess. They are called the Paps of Danu. Every spring, farmers lit fires around them and drove cattle between the flames for protection. The Vedas describe the same ritual.

Danu is the Rig Veda mother goddess of the flowing waters. Her name is written into the geography of half of Eurasia. The Danube. The Dniester. The Dnieper. The Don. The Donau. Greek Demeter. Northern Greeks once called themselves the Dannuni. In Ireland, the pre-Christian pantheon called itself the Tuatha de Danaan. Children of Danu.

The mainstream story that pale steppe nomads invaded India around 1500 BC and imposed Sanskrit on a dying Indus Valley civilisation has been steadily dismantled over the last thirty years. The recent genetic and linguistic papers still cited in its defence describe contact at the edges, not replacement at the centre.

The direction of travel runs the other way. Out of India, in pulses, over thousands of years.

Iran took the name of the people, Aryans. Ahura Mazda is the Vedic Asura. The magi are the Vedic magoi.

The Germanic and Slavic pulse moved overland from the ninth millennium BC. They carried the sky-father Dyaius, who became Tyr in Scandinavia, Zeus in Greece, Deus in Rome.
The Italo-Celtic pulse moved by sea from the seventh millennium. When the Celtic branch turned up the Atlantic coast around 5,400 BC, it left place names all the way from Iberia to Ireland. Portugal. Galicia. Gaul. Pays de Galles. Cornwall. Galloway. Galway.

Then the Sarasvati river dried around 2000 BC. A military wave moved west into the Near East. The Kassites ruled Babylonia for 500 years. The Mitanni signed a treaty with the Hittite king Suppiluliuma in 1380 BC swearing by Mitra, Varuna, Indra and the Nasatyas. Four Vedic gods, on a Hittite tablet, thirteen centuries before the earliest date the invasion theory allows for the Vedas.

The Greeks came in the same window. Zeus is Dyaius. When Alexander crossed the Hindu Kush he met people at Nysa claiming descent from Dionysus. Some of their heroes, they said, had come this way.
