Alexander , Ghori , Ghazni , Khilji , British , French , Communists couldn’t do it …… & here comes a person who cannot convince his own family about this …!! Bharat & Sanatan have withstood the test of time & generations .

What TN has shown today, rest of India has been doing for decades. Hindu majority states of Rajasthan, Bihar, Assam, Maharashtra and even Manipur have had Muslim Chief Ministers. Hindu majority Andhra Pradesh, Goa and Kerala have given many Christian Chief ministers. TN is just a new entry to that old club.

But the real question worth probing is: how many Muslim majority or Christian majority states have given any Hindu Chief Minister? Zero.

Forget Chief Minister, how many Hindu MPs or MLAs have ever been elected from a Muslim majority or Christian majority lok sabha or vidhan sabha seats?? Next to Zero.

Zero violence for the first time in the history of elections, particularly in West Bengal. Not even a single death in political violence. No booth capturing. No rigging. Record breaking turnout. No controversy around 'missing EVMs', papertrail or VVPAT. Seamless transparent process and real time live data reporting in all five states.

In short, of that's the job, then yes, Election Commission has won hands down.

[Mahendra Chaudhari @themahendrab]

For the first time in post-independence history, India stands free from communist rule across the nation, as we remember those who fought and sacrificed their lives for their beliefs, from Kerala to Bengal. #election2026

@sanghaviharsh Hope this bunch of expert talk about foot overbridge .. it’s need hours. Few specific points if we don’t do this than we are inviting more tragic accidents for sure

I wrote to Smt. Sonia Gandhi today. I requested her to speak to her colleagues in the Congress party and Opposition, drawing from the wealth of her experience and maturity, about the frequent disruption of Parliament and the disregard of parliamentary traditions.

It’s almost Half world war. Prayer for humanity.

Nobody is talking about the most important variable in the strike timeline. It is not the deadline. It is not Geneva. It is not the carriers.

It is Narendra Modi.

Tomorrow, February 25, the Prime Minister of India lands in Tel Aviv for a two-day state visit. He will meet Netanyahu. He will address the Knesset at 4:30 PM. He will visit Yad Vashem. He represents 1.4 billion people and the world's fifth-largest economy.

The 48-hour deadline expires the same day Modi's plane touches Israeli soil.

You do not launch a strike on Iran, triggering retaliatory ballistic missiles aimed at Israeli territory, while the leader of 1.4 billion people is standing inside the Knesset. The Secret Service equivalent for both nations would physically prevent it. The diplomatic fallout of endangering a visiting head of state during a military operation you initiated would collapse the very alliance Netanyahu is trying to build. He literally described the Modi visit as constructing a "hexagon of alliances" against radical axes, meaning Iran. You do not blow up the hexagon while assembling it.

This means the earliest realistic strike window opens the evening of February 26, after Modi departs. Which is the same day Geneva talks resume.

The timeline architecture is now visible in full.

The 48-hour deadline expires February 25. Nothing happens because Modi is on the ground. February 26, Modi leaves. Geneva talks convene the same day. If Iran arrives with nothing, or arrives with a proposal that does not meet zero enrichment, the diplomatic failure is now documented, witnessed, and internationally legible. The off-ramp has been publicly offered and publicly refused. The legal and political predicate for military action is established in front of the global press corps.

Then comes March 2. Purim. The Israeli holiday celebrating deliverance from a Persian plot to destroy the Jewish people. Multiple analysts, including the Sri Lanka Guardian, have flagged this date as a speculated strike window. The symbolism would be unmistakable and deliberate.

That gives you a seven-day sequence. Deadline expires Tuesday. Modi provides diplomatic cover through Wednesday. Geneva provides the documented failure Wednesday evening. Thursday through Sunday are preparation and final authorization. Monday, March 2, is Purim.

Now understand why India issued an advisory telling all Indian citizens to leave Iran immediately. Not "exercise caution." Not "defer non-essential travel." Leave. India knows when its Prime Minister is scheduled to depart Israeli airspace, and India knows what the window after that departure looks like.

Modi is not visiting Israel despite the crisis. Modi is visiting Israel because of the crisis. Netanyahu is collecting alliance signatures before the document they are signing onto gets executed. When the strikes come, Netanyahu needs to be able to say that the leader of the world's largest democracy was standing in the Knesset forty-eight hours earlier endorsing Israeli security partnerships. That is not a diplomatic visit. That is a pre-strike legitimacy operation.

The market is watching the deadline. The market should be watching the departure.

The clock does not start when the deadline expires. The clock starts when Modi's plane leaves Israeli airspace. And India just told its citizens to get out of Iran before it does.

@shanaka86 Amazing analysis.. very precise

[India in UAE @IndembAbuDhabi]

IMPORTANT ADVISORY

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

Dubai just shut down. The busiest international airport on earth. Closed. Indefinitely.

Dubai International and Al Maktoum International both suspended all operations on February 28 per official Dubai Airports statement. Over 280 flights canceled. 250 more delayed. The airspace that handles more international passengers than any hub on the planet went dark this morning because Iranian ballistic missiles were flying through it.

Now read the airline list and understand the scale of what just broke.

Emirates. Grounded. Etihad. Grounded. Qatar Airways. Suspended all flights to and from Doha after Qatari airspace closed. Air India. Every single flight to every destination in the entire Middle East. Suspended indefinitely. Turkish Airlines. Suspended flights to Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Qatar, and the UAE until at least March 2. Lufthansa. Dubai suspended. Air France. Tel Aviv and Beirut suspended. Wizz Air. Israel, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Amman suspended until March 7. British Airways. Affected. Virgin Atlantic. Affected. Japan Airlines. Affected. Norwegian Air, LOT Polish, Scandinavian Airlines, Aegean, Iberia, Air Arabia, PIA, Saudia, Air Algerie. All affected. All grounded or rerouting.

This is not a regional disruption. This is the global aviation network breaking at one of its most critical nodes.

Dubai is not just an airport. It is the single largest connecting hub between Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Every flight from Mumbai to London, from Singapore to Frankfurt, from Nairobi to New York that routes through the Gulf is now either canceled, delayed, or burning extra fuel on thousand-mile detours around closed airspace. IndiGo just suspended flights to Almaty, Baku, Tashkent, and Tbilisi until March 28. Not March 2. March 28. A month of Central Asian connectivity erased because Iranian missiles crossed the flight paths.

The cost is compounding by the hour. Rerouted flights burn more fuel when oil is spiking past 100 dollars a barrel because the same conflict that closed the airspace is threatening the strait that moves 21 million barrels a day. Airlines are paying surge prices for fuel to fly longer routes around a war zone that did not exist yesterday morning. Every hour the airspace stays closed, the losses multiply across carriers already operating on thin margins.

And here is what nobody is calculating yet. Dubai’s economy runs on connectivity. Tourism. Trade. Finance. Logistics. All of it depends on DXB being open. The UAE just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory with a civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from missile debris. The country that built its entire economic model on being the safe, neutral, connected hub of the Middle East is now closed for business because the country it had no quarrel with fired missiles through its airspace.

Iran did not just attack military bases this morning. Iran shut down the economic engine of the Gulf.

That is a cost Tehran cannot afford to repay and the UAE will not forget.

[Aditya Raj Kaul @AdityaRajKaul]

JUST IN: Dubai airport in UAE has suspended all flight operations until further notice.

[Yash Lahoti @YvLahoti]

Sitting in India right now, watching the world burn in real time. US & Israel striking Iran. Iran retaliating across the Gulf. Russia-Ukraine still raging. Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions simmering.

Missiles flying over Tehran, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Qatar.
And here I am, safe at home on a Saturday evening, in a democratic, peaceful country, worrying about none of this at my doorstep.

We don't say this enough - we are incredibly lucky. Not perfect, not without problems. But at peace. That's not a small thing in 2026.

[Mahendra Chaudhari @themahendrab]

@SandeepMall And specially people who retired from company and lived in company colony. So they miss the whole human circle outside that. That’s very tragic emotionally and mentally.

[Sandeep Mall @SandeepMall]

I just spent 7 days with 200+ senior citizens, and one pattern was impossible to ignore: high stress and low sleep, especially among men.
The culprit, as I could evaluate- Loss of identity.
Despite being financially stable and living with family, retirement stripped away their ‘reason to wake up.’ When the professional title vanishes, the void is heavy.
If you’re 45+, please start building a ‘Purpose Portfolio’ now.
• Find a hobby that challenges you.
• Join a community project.
• Volunteer or mentor.
The paycheck stops one day, but your need for a mission doesn't. Build your after-work identity before you actually need it.

[Harsh Goenka @hvgoenka]

Seeing President Macron running on the streets of Mumbai, two things stand out:
1. No visible convoy, minimal security, just blending into the city and doing his thing.
2. The fitness level. Leadership needs stamina as public life is demanding.
And think of our politicians 🙈!

[Yashwant Deshmukh 🇮🇳 @YRDeshmukh]

This should have been story of the day across all media platforms today. But then who has time for the real issues which shape future of India. It s so heartening to see that female education trendline has not only caught up with males; but actually has surpassed that. This is exactly were I feel the future of India is now in safe hands.
