#WATCH | Guwahati: On Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation, Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma says, "... Resignation is his decision, but as I said in my tweet, Dharmendra Pradhan has helped Assam a lot. Under his leadership, Assam got the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), and he played a major role in implementing the National Education Policy (NEP). My view is that history will judge him positively. I have not been following the current developments closely, but I believe history will judge him as the person who implemented the NEP in India and worked to decolonise the country's education system."

Mesopotamia Was Never the Cradle of Civilisation. India Was.
The 19th-century assertion of Mesopotamia as civilization's cradle is flawed. Evidence from history, linguistics, genetics, and archaeology points to India's earlier and more central role.

[Nick Collins @nickcollins1953]

Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.

I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.

Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."

Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.

What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.

When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.

In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.

So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

@issf_official Congratulations to all Shooters for bringing home the medals and making India proud 🙏🙏🥳🥳

Talent knows no limits, and @ArcherSheetal proves it time and again.

Heartiest congratulations on being named Para Archer of the Year 2025. Your journey of courage, belief and extraordinary will continues to inspire millions across the nation.

I loved Dhurandhar-1, but The Revenge surpassed the original in both scale and soul.
The writing, casting, technical execution, music, world design and direction are flawless…. But it’s the emotional stakes that really ground it.

The writing manages to weave plot twists that create genuine tension charged with emotion. @AdityaDharFilms, you hit it out of the park. It takes guts to make and release a film 4 hours long. The audience is glued to the seat till the last frame. 🫡

@RanveerOfficial, what a performance man… The sequence with the sister in the shed is a masterclass in acting. From that beginning to the heart-wrenching climax, you mesmerized us both as Hamza and Jaskirat.

@ActorMadhavan garu, you carried the helplessness and frustration of a nation so well that we felt your sucess as ours..

Congratulations to the entire team for the resounding success… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@jsaideepak Watched it once today. Amazing rollercoaster of a movie.

The Indus “script” is almost deciphered, except for a few glyphs that need careful study. The Indus “seals” still require scrutiny.

The book "Indus Seals Deciphered" is coming soon for further examination.

The seal catalogue will follow thereafter, and the sequel too.

[Sushant Misra @sushantmisra]

@RapperPandit Yes, however, the bigger message is duality is an illusion and reality is the pure observer or the pure subject. Or as Shankaracharya says "ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या जीवो ब्रह्मैव नापरः।"

@JaipurDialogues @jsaideepak @ARanganathan72 what is this ? How do we stop this? It does not feel safe to send children to school, lest they be manhandled, insulted .

[Sushant Misra @sushantmisra]

@Ayudhika1310 Amazing and inspiring

[Sushant Misra @sushantmisra]

@ragarwal1111 @ArchitectRupa @NileshOak @sanjeevsanyal I would agree @sanjeevsanyal ji can definitely help. Basically as @ArchitectRupa ma'am said, as Kings did in earlier times we would need Indian Goverment's direct or indirect support.

[Sushant Misra @sushantmisra]

@ArchitectRupa Ma'am have you written a book or paper on the Rig Ved, highlighting these facts in detail. I would really like to go through to get a better perspective.

[Sushant Misra @sushantmisra]

अद्भुत, अद्वितीय!!

Meet Devavrat Mahesh Rekhe, 19, from Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra.

He went to Kashi to study the Vedas and recited the Shukla Yajurveda flawlessly for 50 days (165 hours), covering 2000+ mantras, without ever reading a manuscript.

Only the second time in India’s history! Scholars will honour him with the Dandakrama Vikramaditya symbol. 🙏🔥

Much respect to whoever is this man in this DRDO test going at 800 km/hr to test a fully indigenous ejection seat system. Also, only three countries could do tests like these, now India joins them. Kudos to DRDO scientists.

The Forgotten Link Between Egypt & India Over 2,500 years ago, Greek historian Herodotus, the “Father of History,” traveled through Egypt and was shown a remarkable lineage of kings preserved in temple records. Among 341 rulers stood the memory of their very first human king—said to have lived 14,000 years ago. His reign was described as so perfect, so righteous, that it resembled a divine golden age. Herodotus preserved this ruler’s name as Rhampsinitus. Many believe this is not just coincidence, but a Hellenized version of Lord Ram, the legendary king of Bharat. The Egyptian priest’s description of his perfect reign mirrors the Indian idea of Ram Rajya, a kingdom of justice, prosperity, and Dharma. This stunning parallel suggests that the memory of Lord Ram was not confined to Indian tradition alone—it may have been etched into the annals of civilizations thousands of miles away. If true, this is one of the oldest cross-civilizational references to Ram, proving that his legacy transcended borders and shaped global memory

@NileshOak Will there be a session in Delhi

[Sushant Misra @sushantmisra]

@ArchitectRupa @NileshOak Thanks for your enlightening replies ma'am. So much more to learn from you.

[Sushant Misra @sushantmisra]

@NileshOak ji and @ArchitectRupa ji what do you have to say about this analysis if Vedas

[Sanjeev Newar | सञ्जीव नेवर @SanjeevSanskrit]

After detailed review of all Veda Samhitas, my stand is as follows:

1. Vedas do not contain history.

2. Words in Vedas are conceptual, not proper nouns.

3. Later people named places and persons after Vedic terms.

4. There is no sound basis to claim sequencing of the four Vedas. They look co-emergent.

5. Vedic Sanskrit breaks the foundations of the pseudo science called modern linguistics. The language is far more conceptual, layered and preserved than any known language. A hum-bum-dum origin of language cannot explain how such a complex system emerged and later all other languages merely simplify it.

6. Any language capable of high abstraction can be derived from Vedic models. This includes Hindi, English , German, French, Greek, Latin. Veda is the parent.

7. Aryan Invasion, Proto language and such theories are colonial ego constructs to avoid accepting Vedic civilization as source. No primary evidence whatsoever.

8. Vedas are the oldest coherent texts, meticulously preserved. Everything else is conjecture.

9. Unbiased position today is simple: Veda Samhitas are the source layer of language and culture. They do not record history and we do not have a dating for their codification.

10. Vedas are the most powerful cognitive engineering text known. Every word, prefix, suffix, order carries compressed, multidimensional themes. There is no parallel.

Conclusion: our approach to Vedas, to Hindu civilization, and therefore to world civilization needs a drastic relook. Veda is the source, not a derivative. 🔱
