Heartiest congratulations Prof. Sen sir! Richly deserved for his work on string theory
MATTER OF GREAT PRIDE FOR INDIAN SCIENCE!
Ashoke Sen becomes the first Indian to win the prestigious Oskar Klein Medal (2026), jointly awarded by Stockholm University and the Nobel Committee for Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for his pioneering work in String theory.
deccanherald.com/science/ben…
String theory gives a unified description of all matter and the forces between them based on the postulate that the elementary constituents of matter are tiny one dimensional (string-like) objects instead of point particles. Sen’s breakthrough work has shown that multiple string theories are all different versions of a single underlying theory.
Incidentally, I met Ashok Sen for the first time, when both of us were elected as FRS (Fellows of Royal Society) in 1998. Ashoke ( nominated by Stephen Hawking himself) was young 42 yrs and
I was an oldie - 55 yrs though!
What struck me was Ashoke’s incredible simplicity. His wife Sumathi Rao has reportedly said that Ashoke bought his first suit and needed some assistance to wear his first tie for that prestigious 1998 FRS ceremony in London, when one signs in the same book that Sir Isaac Newton has signed.
A film made on the life and work of Ashoke Sen, when we at the
H K Firodia Award in Science & Technology honoured him in 2005 in Pune, will inspire all our budding scientists - showing how science & simplicity goes together.

We all feel so so proud Ashoke!

BIG NEWS 🚨 A Delhi trader breaks down over the losses caused by the CJP protest.
"My monthly rent is ₹80,000, and I don’t even have ₹20,000 left in my pocket right now. Daily I am losing Rs 10-12K" 😢
For Dhruv Rathee, Abhijit Dipke, it may be just another political issue, but for small traders, it means their livelihoods are at stake 😠
Who will compensate them for their losses?

BIG WIN FOR INDIA 🇮🇳
Trump backs off on sanctions and tariffs targeting countries buying Russian oil and gas.
India stood its ground, refused to bow to pressure, and put its national interests first.

स्वघोषित कॉकरोच अभिजीत दीपके से जब दिल्ली पुलिस ने बार-बार पूछा कि उनके लिए बस या फ्लाइट करवा दी जाए, वो वापस अपने घर जाएंगे? तो उसने कहा, “I’ll Stay…”
एक बार नहीं, कई बार! सुनिए, और सोचिए.…
अपनी दादी के निधन पर भी जिसने ओछी राजनीति चुनी हो, वो कैसा आदमी होगा? खैर, एक बात तो तय है, नौटंकी में इसने केजरीवाल को तो पीछे छोड़ ही दिया है!

Several social media handles are claiming that as Sh. Abhijeet Dipke is in detention, he has not been informed about the demise of his grandmother.
In this regard it is being clarified that the information regarding the demise of Abhijeet’s grandmother was promptly conveyed to him with due sensitivity. He was also informed of the scheduled funeral time and offered all possible assistance to facilitate his travel to his hometown on humanitarian grounds.

Education lost today. 🙏
After Prof. Suryanarayana Doolla resignation, IIT Bombay Director Prof. Shireesh Kedare has also been forced to resign by students, just because they stopped a student from cheating.
Director Shireesh Kedare said today that he didn’t want to drag the students’ protests any further because it could affect their studies, so he decided to step down from his position tomorrow, Sept 21.😓
Today, I literally lost all hope in India. The so-called Gen Z forced a professor and director to resign for doing their jobs honestly.💔

आज कुमाऊँ विश्वविद्यालय के भीमताल परिसर में नवनिर्मित 'सीडीएस जनरल बिपिन रावत फार्मेसी अकादमिक ब्लॉक' का वर्चुअल लोकार्पण किया। भारत के प्रथम चीफ ऑफ डिफेंस स्टाफ जनरल बिपिन रावत के नाम पर समर्पित यह भवन केवल एक अकादमिक संरचना नहीं, बल्कि अनुशासन, ज्ञान, अनुसंधान, नवाचार और राष्ट्रसेवा के मूल्यों का प्रेरक केंद्र है।
मुझे विश्वास है कि यह अकादमिक ब्लॉक राष्ट्रीय शिक्षा नीति-2020 की भावना के अनुरूप गुणवत्तापूर्ण एवं शोधोन्मुख शिक्षा को नई दिशा देगा। उत्तराखण्ड की औषधीय एवं सुगंधित वनस्पतियों की समृद्ध विरासत को नवाचार और वैज्ञानिक अनुसंधान से जोड़ते हुए हमारे युवा विकसित उत्तराखण्ड और विकसित भारत के निर्माण में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाएंगे।

Mr. Sonam Wangchuk has ended his fast after Union Ministers Shri JP Nadda and Shri Jitendra Singh met him at Medanta Hospital, Gurugram, and assured him of the government's commitment to address the concerns.
Shri JP Nadda said:
“The government is positive on not registering cases against those protesting peacefully at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, and those participating in the march to the Parliament on July 20, 2026. The government has already assured threadbare discussions to find solutions to paper leaks and educational reforms for exams in the Parliament. Besides, the government is also positively considering suitable compensation for the suicide victims of recent NEET paper leaks."
Mr. Wangchuk’s decision to end his fast reflects his trust in the Modi government's commitment to students' interests. The government has time and again reiterated its resolve to act firmly against paper leaks and strengthen examination reforms. The interests of the nation's youth remain a top priority for the government.
As PM Modi said, India's youth are a force for nation-building and every culprit operating against the nation’s future will be punished.
Prof Diwan S Rawat retweeted
We welcome Prime Minister @narendramodi ji’s decision to set up fast-track courts to ensure exemplary punishment for those involved in the paper leaks. This thoughtful decision shows that the GoI places youth at the heart of its functioning. In the spirit of harmony and healing, we earnestly request Shri Sonam Wangchuk ji to end his fast in the interest of our students. Our students’ future is the future of our nation. @Wangchuk66
