@AnilAgarwal_Ved In Memory of Agnivesh (1976 – 2025)
Some lives are measured not in years but in the impact they leave behind. Agnivesh was a force of nature—strong, compassionate, & deeply human.
A builder of industries & a nurturer of dreams, he embodied the spirit of a modern India cont'd..
A still closed Strait means the adverse scenario is now weeks, not months away
Capital Economics has outlined two distinct paths for the evolution of the Iran conflict, moving from a "baseline" of relatively quick resolution to an "adverse" scenario characterized by prolonged disruption and severe economic consequences.
The primary difference between the two scenarios lies in the duration of the conflict and the resulting damage to energy infrastructure and global supply chains.
Capital Economics warns that we are currently approaching a tipping point where the baseline scenario may no longer be tenable. Unless a breakthrough occurs to reopen the Strait in the next few weeks, commercial oil stocks could reach critically low levels by the end of June, forcing a shift in forecasts toward the adverse scenario. This impasse is exacerbated by Iran's use of the Strait as strategic leverage and the U.S. demand for significant curtailment of Iran's nuclear program as a condition for resolution.
कोई तो है जिस ने आज हिम्मत दिखाई है । कुनिका सदानंद जी का तहे-दिल सम्मान है । आज एक फिल्मी जगत की अभिनेत्री ने साहस दिखाकर देश और देश की जनत��� को सतर्क कर रहीं हैं और बाकी मूक दर्शक बने बैठे हैं । देश का लोकतंत्र खतरे में है । EVM हटाओ देश बचाओ । जय हिंद जय भारत ।
BJP Mahila Sammaan Rally optics gone wrong. Citizen loses cool over BJP leaders & ministers blocking the road & inconveniencing a busy Mumbai road. She says ‘go to a park & shout, get out of the road’
Mr. Gyanesh Kumar,
CEC, @ECISVEEP
Did you really ask CP Kolkata, Sri Ajay Nanda: “How did you become an IPS officer?”👇
If yes, then you have grossly exceeded your brief as Chief Election Commissioner. This is not only unbecoming of your high constitutional office but also deeply disrespectful and insulting to a senior IPS officer.
You owe an immediate, unconditional apology to Sri Ajay Nanda.
And let me remind you plainly: the very same question can, and should, be asked of you — “How did you become an IAS officer, and how did someone with such a poor track record end up as Chief Election Commissioner of India?”
The office of CEC demands dignity, restraint, and impartiality — not arrogance or condescension. Live up to it.

JUST IN: There are roughly 50,000 MRI machines operating worldwide. Each one requires liquid helium cooled to minus 269 degrees Celsius to keep its superconducting magnets functional. A single non-operational MRI eliminates 20 to 30 patient scans per day. Those are the scans that detect tumours before they metastasise, strokes before they kill, spinal injuries before they paralyse. The helium that makes those scans possible came, until 31 days ago, from Qatar’s Ras Laffan facility, which produced a third of the world’s supply as a byproduct of liquefied natural gas. Ras Laffan was struck by Iranian missiles on March 18. It declared force majeure. Fourteen percent of its helium capacity is permanently destroyed. Repairs will take three to five years.
Helium prices have doubled. India’s hospitals are already reporting MRI cost spikes and scan delays. European facilities are rationing non-urgent diagnostics. Air Liquide has warned customers of unfulfilled orders. And 200 cryogenic containers holding 41,000 litres each are stranded in the Persian Gulf with 35 to 48 days before their cooling systems fail and the gas vents irreversibly into the atmosphere. Helium is the only element that escapes Earth’s gravity once released. It does not come back.
Here is the connection that should stop every health minister, every defence secretary, and every AI executive in their tracks. The same helium that cools the MRI magnet scanning a child’s brain for a tumour in Mumbai also cools the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine printing the two-nanometre transistor in Hsinchu that powers the AI model selecting bombing targets over Isfahan. Hospitals and semiconductor fabs are now competing for the same shrinking pool of the same molecule at the same temperature. The war has created a zero-sum allocation between healing and killing, and the molecule does not care which one wins.
TSMC holds 6.2 weeks of inventory and recycles 68 to 95 percent on site. Samsung holds six months but sources 65 percent from Qatar. Both are rationing toward AI and high-bandwidth memory, starving consumer chip production to keep the advanced nodes alive. Hospitals are nominally prioritised in allocation queues, but when a single TSMC fab consumes 500,000 cubic feet of helium per year and a trillion-dollar AI buildout depends on keeping those fabs running, the allocation queue is a polite fiction masking a brutal triage.
Newer MRI machines use zero-boil-off technology, sealed systems holding as little as 0.7 litres of helium that never need refilling. In India, 3,500 of 5,000 machines already use this technology. But the legacy fleet, the machines in rural hospitals, developing nations, and underfunded health systems, still requires 1,500 to 2,000 litres per fill. Those are the machines that will go dark first. Those are the patients who will be diagnosed last. The geography of helium scarcity maps precisely onto the geography of healthcare inequality.
The war’s casualties are not only soldiers and civilians in the strike zone. They include every patient whose scan was delayed because the helium that should have cooled their MRI machine is boiling off in a container drifting 57 kilometres northwest of Dubai. The body count of a chokepoint war does not end at the chokepoint. It extends to every hospital, every diagnostic centre, every oncology ward that depends on a noble gas extracted from natural gas that transits a 39-kilometre strait controlled by a navy that no longer exists but whose mines, drones, and shore batteries still function.
The molecule does not distinguish between a magnet in a scanner and a magnet in a missile. It cools both to the same temperature. And today, there is not enough of it for both.

Why did India so badly misread Iran? A civilisational answer — not just a strategic one. I write for @thewire_in
• India didn’t just make an intelligence failure on Iran. It made a philosophical one. The Modi-Shah worldview is transactional. Iran is civilisational, built on sacrifice, endurance, and three thousand years of Persian memory.
• Iran survived four decades of sanctions and assassinations, but did not collapse. This was never irrational stubbornness. It was istiqamat, principled steadfastness.
• Nehru understood Iran not as a problem to be managed but as a civilisation to be engaged. He saw in Iran’s anti-colonial instincts a mirror of India’s own, a proud people refusing permanent subordination to great power dictates. It gave India the credibility to speak to Tehran, Cairo, and Belgrade simultaneously. It’s a credibility that was built over decades and squandered in recent years.
• Gandhi came from the same Western Indian transactional tradition, yet transcended it entirely. His method was tapasya, voluntary suffering as moral weapon.
• Modi’s foreign policy is the precise opposite. It needs the world’s most powerful military alliance behind it before venturing any independent position.
• India once knew better. A thousand years of Persian-Indian civilisational exchange gave India the tools to read Iran, in poetry, architecture, philosophy and statecraft. Nehru’s non-alignment gave India credibility with Tehran that no other major power enjoyed. That inheritance was discarded with contempt.
• The BJP, and more fundamentally the RSS, holds the institutional wisdom of the Congress era in deep contempt. Not because it has been examined and found wanting, but because it flows from a tradition the Sangh never accepted as its own.
• The BJP adopted an Israel mirror trap, seeing Iran through Israeli intelligence and American assessments. The same sources that fabricated WMDs in Iraq and misread Afghanistan completely. Ideological alignment had fully displaced independent strategic thinking in New Delhi.
• The cost: Chabahar hangs in uncertainty. Hormuz energy chains face disruption India wasn’t prepared for. And India’s most precious asset, credibility as an independent voice in a multipolar world, has been gravely diminished. The transactional mind finally met its opportunity cost.

PMCARES - a secret fund?
- ₹2,400 crore donated by PSUs
- Hundreds of crores donated from salaries of govt employees
- On PM’s advice, Indian embassies, including in China & Pakistan, publicised the fund
- Govt allows full exemption from FCRA requirements
But when citizens ask questions govt says it’s a private entity & not under RTI!

🇧🇷 The President of Brazil declares: Iran has also been attacked. I am very angry! Why does everyone with power think they own the world?! We are no longer colonies. We have our independence. Come, let us cry out!
The empire bombed Iran. Sanctioned Venezuela. Blockaded Cuba. Invaded Iraq. Destroyed Libya. Colonized Palestine. And the world is supposed to stay silent.
Brazil speaks. The Global South rises. We are no longer colonies. We are not asking permission. We are declaring independence. Come, let us cry out. Not with tears. With voices. With unity. With resistance.
This explains why I kept a safe distance from Modi from the time he assumed power in May 2014. I did not even go to gift him a copy of my book on him. Just sent an unsigned copy through his favourite bureaucrat Bharat Lal!
The names of women who were made MPs and ministers by Modi due to intimacy with him were being whispered loudly enough within Sanghi power networks right at the outset. That is why I took precautions very early on.
The names of those like Hardeep Puri who provided him special services while he was Gujarat CM were also being shared in hushed tones as soon as Hardeep and Jaishankar were included in the Cabinet!
In 2014, when I went for lectures to America, there too tales of his aiyyashi were doing the rounds.
Appointment of 12th pass Smriti Irani as Education Minister had given credence to other scandals, till then hidden from public view.
The scandal involving Mansi Soni had already reached the Supreme Court.
Someone close to Modi gave me a whole set of papers submitted in the Supreme Court by the incarcerated IAS officer who too was having a rollicking time with Soni.
In addition, people from Gujarat, including some of those close to Modi, shared with me disgusting stories of his sickly dalliances with women while he was Gujarat CM.
And earlier while he was pracharak and BJP office bearer!
Hearing those stories, I became so averse to his presence that I avoided even those functions, including marriage receptions, where Modi was likely to show up!
So traumatized I was by the gory accounts that I actually sank into deep depression in 2014 which deeply impacted my health. Went for 21 days to an Ayurvedic healing centre in Coimbatore in 2015 in the hope of recovering from multiple shocks.
I remember when I shared my grief at the reports I was hearing with a very senior RSS intellectual, he shrugged it off saying, "why are you so shocked? Why should his personal life bother any of us?"
The appointment of #pornpeddler Amit Malviya as BJP's Social
Media incharge was yet another proof of the inclinations of the top bosses of BJP!
I might have overlooked his predatory sexual conduct, if he had done well on other fronts.
But his aggressive peddling of genocidal vaccines and brazen attempts at crushing Hindu samaj and demonizing Hindu dharma, his outrageous patronage of Bheemtas and Meemtas to launch lethal attacks on Hindus, his slavish conduct vis a vis the Globalist Mafia, his devilish conduct in persecuting Hindus during the Kathua Kand (described in detail in my book The Girl From Kathua, A Sacrificial Victim of GhazwaE Hind) and much else, made me realize in the first term itself that we are saddled with a Satanic ruler, a CIA plant who has been put in power to wreck India, and decimate Hindus!
Modi's personality disorders have convinced me that we should pay far more attention to sexual corruption of our leaders.
Those who are compromised on this front very easily succumb to blackmail by enemies of Bharat, than those who are financially corrupt!
Will soon provide proof of how he is being blackmailed from day one.
Hence the vulgar 56 inchiya boasts!
Prayagraj: Cold storage building collapsed, ammonia gas leakage, dozens killed in Phaphamau. Horrific incident!
In this video, police personnel are seen rushing injured workers to hospitals for treatment.

Eminent Economist Jeffrey Sachs warns INDIA against becoming a 'Vassal State' of the United States.
India had NEVER faced such a situation in 80 years of Independence.
PROCESS IS PUNISHMENT: in 2019, Prannoy and Radhika Roy were stopped from leaving the country in what was an act of pure harassment and vendetta as detailed in my 2024 election book. It’s taken another 7 years and an iconic media company taken over for the Look Out Notice against them to be quashed. Bananaistan?!😡
BIG STORY: when HDFC bank chairman resigns citing practises at a leading bank ‘not in congruence’ with personal values or ethics. Will truth be told of what those unethical practises are? Bank customers deserve transparency, no?
This is enough to Force a Prime Minister in a Democracy to resign after giving an explanation in the House.
But neither Epstein revealations, nor Rafael scam, nor COVID-19 mismanagement, nor Vote Chori, nor Pulwama RDX mystery, nor the fraud Demonetisation, nor Godhra carnage, nothing has even dented Modi Regime. Why❓
Because the Modi Regime is not validated by your votes. It is the ILLEGITIMATE TOOL in the hands of Zionist Regime.
India, like USA, is fighting Israel’s War.
So, the following 3 persons warned @realDonaldTrump that #Iran might attack USA and the war monger in chief, now back as @POTUS, Trump decided to push the entire world to precipice.
What makes this even more astonishing is that Iran does not possess operational Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.
The voices whispering in Trump’s ear were:
1️⃣ @jaredkushner: Trump's own son in law and an American businessman and investor
2️⃣ @SteveWitkoff: A real estate developer turned into US envoy to Middle East
3️⃣ @PeteHegseth: A combative (nay blood thirsty) former @FoxNews host. who fervently supported Trump in his shows and, after his elevation, got Department of Defence renamed as Department of War in September 2025.
As for @SecRubio@marcorubio, he appeared to be vacillating, even struggling to coherently explain his own intriguing remarks on why the United States attacked Iran.
