This Deepavali, may I suggest gifting the light of knowledge to your children, especially if they are teenagers and older.
Or, to yourself, if you're interested in what Indian philosophy has to offer for modern life- from Yoga to Ayurveda to Meditation, or the meaning of life itself!
Happy Deepavali!

Everyone has turned a blind eye to the Hindus in Bangladesh because it doesn't suit their narrative.
This Jindal Steel video captures this rise perfectly. This is after all the land of the Chandragupta Stambh, the Kodachadri Pillar and Wootz Steel.
(youtu.be/UvGwIFVUK7M?si=d_9S…)
In 2014, India made less steel than Japan.
In 2025, India made more steel than the US and Japan put together.
Read that again.
87 million tonnes in 2014.
165 million tonnes in 2025.
Almost doubled in one decade. In the same decade, Japan fell 27%. The US fell 7%.
India is now the world's #2 steel producer. Only China is ahead.
And steel is not a services story / an app story. It is what a nation builds with railways, bridges, factories, ships, guns. The countries that ruled the 20th century were the countries that made the most steel.
The strange part? Nobody is talking about this. Just one quiet line in a World Steel Association release.
Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏

Parents don't take to people targeting their young lightly. A message has been sent. But the Hindu community has no friends on the leftist-communist aisle either. The story moves to another chapter.
Congratulations @Jon_RosenthalTX!
When the story of this Texas election is told, it will be told in two chapters: the hateful rhetoric aimed at our community, and the response at the ballot box.
Even Shri Krishna had patience only for 100 insults.
A formal complaint has been filed against Neha Bora (AISA) @neha_aisa before the SHO, Sansad Marg Police Station, New Delhi, concerning her sweeping public statements alleging that women are raped inside temples by pujaris.
Such reckless and sweeping allegations against an entire community of religious functionaries have the potential to create communal disharmony, promote enmity between groups and disturb public tranquillity.
Freedom of speech is a constitutional right, not a licence to make irresponsible and inflammatory statements. Those exercising this right must remain within the boundaries prescribed by law and be held accountable for their words.
She has to understand her limitations, and freedom of speech is not absolute.
No one is above the law.
Heartfelt thanks to Sr. Adv. Makarand D. Adkar (@AdkarMakarand) for his guidance.

The @indiannavy's anti-piracy missions with a 100% success rate, without collateral damage are one of the most underappreciated events.
Most such rescues don't even find a mention in international media outlets, and only a passing reference in national news.
Of course, it doesn't help, that most of the mission files are still classified.

🇮🇳 India counted 🇮🇹 'Fibonacci' numbers first.
Virahāṅka (600 to 800 CE) counted metres of short (1 beat) and long (2 beat) syllables: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…
Each adds the two before.
Hemacandra c. 1150 CE. Fibonacci 1202 CE.

Indian engineering excellence hitting the bull's eye. Top notch messaging on top of that,
The @sssdefence G72P is India’s only polymer frame, striker fired pistol in 9x19 mm that’s built on a modular drop in steel chassis. As on date, it’s India’s largest selling service pistol for military & law enforcement & sets the benchmark for indigenous sidearms.
German pistols come with a 200 page manual. Italian pistols are gorgeous & come with a love letter. Brazilian ones are like Samba - lots of movement. The G72P is like our masala chai - reliable performance & made with Indian ingredients. Oh yes, it also come with a phone number in Bengaluru that somebody actually takes the pain to answer.

The G72-P, taken apart. It’s a compact 9×19 with a drop-in steel chassis, factory suppressor-ready threading, 17 rounds & optional tritium sights. It’s built for concealed carry, close protection & everyone whose duty doesn’t come with a rifle. 🇮🇳

Around 1900 BCE, during the Bronze Age, a Harappan artist carved this magnificent humped bull from naturally banded agate - a stone with a Mohs hardness of approximately 7.
Bronze was widely used for tools, but it was not harder than agate. Shaping such a stone required abrasive techniques and considerable skill.
Now look at the bands.
They are not painted. They are not inlaid. They are part of the stone itself.
The artist had to envision the bull within this naturally patterned material, making every carving decision around the stone's existing structure.

Remember when I called out @nytimes for relying on Majid Freeman to wrongly blame Hindus chanting “Jai Shri Ram” for Leicester, UK violence?
Well, Freeman was just jailed by a court for spreading a false rumor that Hindus “kidnapped” a Muslim girl, leading to communal riots for days.
I trust @meganspecia will report that her source was just convicted & correct the record.
A side by side comparison with the @BBCNews is telling, and one can’t help but wonder what drives the @nytimes reporting.
Why would @meganspecia platform Majid Freeman whose disinformation was reported as the proximate cause of the troubles? @BBCNews was clear on that. Compare👇🏼
