Durga Puja literally means ‘worship of Goddess Durga.’ No amount of intellectual gymnastics can change that in the slightest. 😂

Asking for safe schools by burning down the country 👏👏👏
From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in. In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes. In Spain, for affordable rent and housing. In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption. @JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south. He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment. The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future. In America, let us listen to our young. We need an economic and political transformation. America's Next New Deal.

This is a coordinated attack. Unfortunately, only nationalists can see this. Others have turned completely to psychological warfare.

The irony that Savarkar was the inspiration for Bhagat Singh and several others 🤦‍♂️
In 2002, Ajay Devgn won the National Award for 'The Legend of Bhagat Singh.' In 2026, Randeep Hooda is winning the National Award for 'Swatantrya Veer Savarkar.' The fall from grace.

Kailasha is a statement and an enigma!
What happened if someone chiselled a nose on just one of the sculptures wrong ? Did the whole temple need to be carved out again? Yet, they did not get it wrong .. how? Carved downwards out of a single piece of rock , with no tools other than hammers and chisels .. .. detail of carvings and sculptures within the temple are not just exquisite , but absolutely precise and accurate in form and in geometry.. from top to bottom .. that’s a mystery greater than the mystery of the Pyramids of Giza… The system of mathematics in ancient India came down from our scriptures and formed the basis of a lot of our music ( Taal ) , art and architecture, .. our Philosophy was not linear .. but circular .. where the finite met the infinite again and again in concentric circles .. like how the Universe is .. The closest modern science now comes to it is what we call Quantum computing , Quantum entanglement . The theories on which Google has built the ‘Willow’ .. the words fastest Quantum Computer. The British changed our education system and made it linear. The colonizers did not have any understanding or knowledge of Quantum .. we did .. but over time of colonisation.. we lost the knowledge and Wisdom .. .. yes, Wisdom too .. for knowledge without Wisdom is dry , with the true and wider meaning squeezed out of it . No wonder that when the greatest Indian Mathematician of all time was asked how he solved some of the most perplexing questions that all the greatest physicists and mathematicians in world were unable to solve ..

Rock-cut temple! What comes to your mind? Most of us would immediately think of the magnificent Kailasa Temple near Ellora. And rightly so - it's one of the greatest architectural wonders ever created. 🤩 But look at the video below. 👇 This is the Dharmrajeshwar Rock-cut Temple in Madhya Pradesh, a little-known monolithic temple dating to around the 6th–8th century CE. Like Kailasa, it wasn't built by assembling stones. It was carved out of a single rock. Just imagine the vision this required. Before the very first strike of the chisel, the craftsmen had to "see" the entire temple within the rock. What amazes me even more is how rarely we hear about places like this. These architectural marvels deserve to be far better known for the engineering brilliance, craftsmanship, and artistic vision of our ancestors. Perhaps "hidden gem" is the perfect description - not just because it's tucked away, but because so few of us even know it exists. The more I discover such places, the more I marvel at the ingenuity, patience, and spiritual vision of our ancestors. #ThroughMyLens vc : instagram/ministryofculturegoi

“Every single temple had to be rebuilt” Goes to show who payed the price of the savagery and “क़त्लेआम” and whose women and children were forced into slavery
Replying to @SamDalrymple123
In the next few hours, thirty thousand Delhi citizens were butchered and ten thousand women and children were forced into slavery. Every single temple in Delhi had to be rebuilt in the wake of this general massacre.

₹40,000 crore. That is roughly the size of the global probiotic market today. Pause for a moment. Modern hygiene first wipes out microbes with antibiotics, antiseptics, antibacterial soaps, sterilized surfaces, RO filtration. Then science discovers that humans cannot live without microbes. Suddenly the market is full of probiotic capsules to restore “good bacteria”. Kill them. Then sell them back. But traditional Indian life followed a very different logic. Not sterility. Balance. Consider the village house. Floors were often plastered with a thin layer of cow dung mixed with clay. To a modern eye this looks primitive. Yet dried dung contains soil bacteria such as Bacillus species that suppress harmful pathogens. The plaster also controls humidity and dust. Instead of chemical sterilization, the floor hosted a stable microbial layer. Clean. But alive. Now look at washing practices. Before commercial soaps, many households used ash to clean utensils or hands. Wood ash contains alkaline salts like potassium carbonate. When mixed with water it behaves like a mild soap, breaking down grease. It cleans. But it does not flood the surface with synthetic antimicrobial chemicals that wipe out everything. Hair care followed the same ecological logic. Reetha and shikakai were common cleansers. These plants contain natural saponins that produce foam and remove dirt, yet they are far gentler than modern sulfate shampoos. The scalp oils remain. The skin barrier survives. The microbial ecosystem stays intact. Oral hygiene was also interesting. People commonly brushed with datun sticks made from neem or babool. When chewed, the fibers fray into a natural brush. Neem carries antibacterial phytochemicals that suppress cavity-causing bacteria. But the mouth is not sterilized. The oral microbiome remains balanced. Water tells another part of the story. Drinking water came from wells, stepwells, ponds, and tanks. Groundwater naturally carries minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals influence gut chemistry and microbial growth. Modern RO filtration often strips them away. Water becomes chemically pure, but biologically poorer. Add one more layer. Traditional life meant constant contact with soil. Courtyards, fields, earthen floors, bare feet, clay vessels. Soil microbes interacted daily with human skin and immune systems. Today immunologists call this the “hygiene hypothesis”. When microbial exposure disappears, immune systems become confused. Allergies and autoimmune diseases rise. The pattern becomes hard to ignore. Traditional Indian hygiene did not aim for sterility. It aimed for equilibrium. Clean surfaces. Living ecosystems. Modern science is slowly rediscovering the same idea through microbiome research, fermented foods, and probiotic therapy. Which leaves an uncomfortable question. If the future of medicine is restoring microbial balance, were many traditional Indian practices quietly doing exactly that all along? 🧬

It was not in Indian waters. It waited 12 hours for Sri Lanka to give permission for entering their waters. India already granted refuge to IRIS Lavan at Kochi. This is very cockeyed view on India. PM Modi trip was not planned when the war began, it was planned much earlier.

Next she will say that the Mohan in her name is not the Manmohan Krishna we know but rather a Punjabi non denominational term!
Ajay, Basant is a festival primarily celebrated and originated in undivided Punjab. Not sure why the ‘Hindu’ bit was necessary.

Would it pain you to admit that the Mughal power was destroyed by the Marathas in early 18th century. The British defeated the Marathas and the Sikhs to conquer India because these two had overrun the Mughal empire and reduced it to the city of Delhi

Dumb arguments. If your car breaks down you would still use a bullock cart instead of walking for miles. Ayurvedic herbs may work differently, doesn't make them irrelevant or dangerous. The landscape of the human body has not changed, why should Ayurvedic herbs not be effective.
No, why discard ancient technology (bullock carts) which has served you and your forefather for several generations? You wouldn't be here if bullock carts were ineffective, we would've perished long ago. You unknowingly partake in bullock carting even today in your transit.
