My piece on Jaish-e-Muhammad (#JeM), #Pakistan's all-women wing, Jammat-ul Mominat, just published in #Terrorism Monitor @JamestownTweets.

#JuM is certainly a strategic expansion of Jaish/#MasoodAzhar, merging religious instruction, digital outreach, family ties, and cross-border guidance, blurring the line between education and #militant/#jihadist #indoctrination.

The academic study of political violence must remain anchored in rigorous, verifiable data that accounts for counter-trends and structural institutional resilience.

Framing isolated vigilante lawbreaking as an existential transformation of the state's foundational philosophy overlooks the capacity of India’s constitutional machinery to self-correct, adapt, and maintain macroeconomic and social stability amidst extreme global volatility.

Dr. Jaffrelot @jaffrelotc, given that official national crime databases show a multi-decade structural decline in major communal riot cascades alongside the rapid expansion of non-discriminatory digital public welfare to minorities, how does your "post-instrumental ethnic cleansing" framework account for these massive, macro-level contradictions?

I created this poster to provide a clear explanation about why the IVC Pashupati Seal clearly cannot be derived from the Proto-Elamite "Master of Animals" motif.

How are digital and Odia-language propaganda shaping local pathways to radicalization? Are existing security and intelligence mechanisms prepared for evolving hybrid extremist threats?

Instead, the state is witnessing the growth of facilitation, recruitment, ideological dissemination, and logistical support networks. The article raises key questions: Is Odisha becoming vulnerable to decentralized extremist penetration?

India Tests Agni-5 with MIRV Capability

The successful test of the Agni-5 with MIRV capability serves as a clear signal of India’s credible nuclear deterrence posture.

This post might be a bit lengthy, but it should be worthwhile. I wanted to share some meaningful books I came across while reading and researching the Sanatan tradition and Hinduism. These books offer wonderful perspectives, from philosophical and civilizational to revivalist, liberal, pedagogical, and academic viewpoints. I’ve picked a few to share here for anyone interested in exploring #Sanatan #Dharma and #Hinduism beyond the common topics of caste, rituals, mythology, or politics.

I often find myself curious about why Hinduism is sometimes misunderstood or simplified, with only certain aspects highlighted, while its rich civilizational core, dharma, pluralism, ethics, sacred geography, cultural memory, and spiritual exploration remain overlooked.

At the same time, Hindu society faces pressures from aggressive proselytizing currents within #Abrahamic faiths, ideological homogenization and hostile global narratives. The question is not whether #Hinduism will survive (btw, it has endured for millennia ) but whether Hindus can intellectually defend, explain, and transmit their inheritance with confidence.

Let me list them all here. This reading list is not exhaustive, for sure. DO share and comment.📚📚📚

"We call our numbers #Arabic numbers because that's where the West got them from. But the Arabs got them from the Indians; they still call them #Hindu numbers."

"Thanks to #Aryabhatta, we have algebra, algorithms, and binary."

"#Islamic scholars in 12th-century Spain described #Indians as masters of mathematics, and if you go to Silicon Valley today, people will tell you the same story."

This seems like an outright scamming @nobrokercom. Very unfortunate Dr Nihar @NiharNayak23. Please lodge formal complaints with them and with the relevant agencies, including the Delhi Police Cyber Cell/ Consumer forums/courts, if they do not refund or resolve the issue amicably at the earliest.

Also, consider sending them a Legal Notice if they are evasive and incommunicado. 🤨😤
