"No European country has been attacked with Indian Weapons... So Keep that in Mind"...!!!
I think Europe was not expecting that answer from Minister @DrSJaishankar 👏

From a distance it may not look large, but the force is still clearly strong and fast-moving.
What you see behind Prime Minister Modi is a 700 MW nuclear steam generator, fully designed by NPCIL and indigenously manufactured in India by our own heavy engineering industry.
Only a handful of countries in the world possess the industrial depth to produce these at scale.
These are not ordinary pressure vessels. Each one is a colossal engineering masterpiece often exceeding 200–300 tonnes containing thousands of precisely fabricated, corrosion-resistant alloy tubes that must transfer intense heat flawlessly for decades under extreme pressure, temperature, and radiation. The welding, metallurgy, non-destructive testing, and quality standards involved are among the most demanding in any industry.
For a nuclear or mechanical engineer, this photograph is genuinely more impressive than most missile or aircraft images. Missiles and jets showcase brilliant design and systems integration. But this represents something rarer: complete industrial sovereignty over a critical, high-complexity component that very few nations can manufacture end-to-end.
This achievement is the result of years of sustained effort in India’s indigenous 700 MWe PHWR programme. It reflects the maturing capability of Indian companies (notably L&T Heavy Engineering and BHEL), the strength of our supply chain, and the policy push for Atmanirbhar Bharat in strategic sectors. These steam generators are now being delivered ahead of schedule for the fleet-mode construction of multiple 700 MW reactors, a model designed for faster, more cost-effective nuclear expansion.
More than just a photo, it quietly signals that India is no longer just assembling or importing nuclear technology. We are building the backbone of our clean energy future with our own hands, skills, and factories. This is the kind of hard industrial power that actually sustains nations for generations.
@ShivAroor@Isha_Gupta409 I have been having the same issue with insurance companies. The doctor has not asked for MRI but they want one. I live a completely normal life with medication but yet I am treated as someone who might take on all the diseases just tomorrow. This is another kind of apartheid.

Almost always the Indian crowd on an International flight is 5x more uncivilized than on a domestic flight.
People might expect some lack of civic sense on a blue-collar flight, often to Saudi/Singapore, but that’s coz it’s their very first flight. I can understand, But it’s the vacation-destination flights you will find the most uncouth assh*les, who would talk loudly, tease attendants. Misbehave for more alcohol. Even after they land, these are the people, who would talk loudly at public places, and display overall obnoxious behaviour. A couple was caught stealing food, and were laughing when they were caught. My last exp.
It’s mostly coz such people come from a negative correlation of education & wealth. Not much education or corporate experience, yet have wealth due to rent-seeking businesses/inheritance. They behave the same in India, but they get away by throwing money at a problem. It solves it here. But not abroad. If you ever try to instil some sense in them, their gag reflex is to tell you how many showrooms they own & they can buy you out. Sometimes they say it overtly, and other times passively by wearing a thick gold chain & brands that scream in your face. All CAPS.
Your worlds rarely collide in India, but they do when you are at the same luxury resort abroad. It’s the “Bharat shock” the India experiences abroad. :)
#WATCH Dr. Narayan Vyas, a world-renowned archaeologist, received Padma Shri 2026 for his contributions in the conservation and promotion of the World Heritage Sites of Bhimbetka and Sanchi in Madhya Pradesh and 'Rani ki Vav' (stepwell) in Gujarat.
During a conversation, Dr Vyas opines how we will make history unless we mine archaeology.

Delighted to host a dinner for the distinguished personalities who received the Padma Awards 2026 today. It was engaging to discuss with them about the socio-economic and cultural transformations they are striving for in various parts of the country.
Ahmedabad is a hopelessly boring Tier 2 city. Please don’t move here.
Living here is an absolute nightmare:
• Zero Adrenaline: Women are just casually roaming around at 2 AM eating ice cream without fearing for their lives or dodging intense police naka bandis. Where is the survival thrill?
• No Linguistic Pride: If you don't speak Gujarati, nobody even threatens to beat you up or smash your shop's signboards. They just awkwardly reply in broken Hindi. Absolutely no passion!
• No Traffic Trauma: The roads are so wide and well planned that you actually reach your destination in 20 minutes. How am I supposed to finish my audiobooks or rethink my life choices during a 3 hour bumper to bumper commute?
• Missing Action: Someone bumps into your vehicle, and they just say sorry and pay you instead of pulling out a hockey stick. No street fights, no "Tu jaanta nahi mera baap kaun hai." So dull.
• Zero Aesthetic Culture: No underground drug or Udta Punjab vibes. Just boring, safe, sober families existing everywhere.
Honestly, it’s unbearable. Please stay in your happening metro cities, enjoy spending half your life in traffic and keep breathing that sweet AQI 1000 air.
On March 30, 2026, the Home Minister declared the impossible: India is now Naxal-free.
But insurgencies don't just run out of bullets; they die when the State alters its posture.

Using public transport in Indian cities is a challenge because there’s no proper way to walk to the nearest bus stop, metro station or railway station. You have to take an auto or cab just to get there first. Sidewalks don't exist in our dictionary.
