We’re already the world’s fastest-growing major economy. But the next frontier isn’t a factory floor or a data centre. It’s the mind, and the heart behind it. My new blog post is up, do read and let me know your thoughts. 😊 aditipatwardhan.wixsite.com/… #india #rationalthinking

Oft quoted story with good intent but is a bad example. Valmiki Ramayan has NO episode of Ramji sending Lakshman to get gyan from Ravan. 1. Ravan died instantly 2. He hadn't just abducted Sitaji, he was an adharmi who violated many women & harassed Rishis. He didn't know better

In case you don't know In 1973, Israel & Arabs went to war Indira Gandhi rushed to declare full support to the Arabs In return, Arabs demanded $12 per barrel for oil, instead of $3 As a result, India's inflation rose to 28% in 1974 But liberals accusing Modi of being weak 😂

Pro palestine = Very less humane towards others Anti caste = Only in case of Hindus Atheist = Only against Hindu gods Pro Lgbtq = Everywhere but not in palestine Misandry = Love rejection or Daddy issues Overall, no knowledge of politics, religion, or rights, but highly opinionated
Having all this in your bio just to go completely mum when the victims are Brahmins, Hindus face exodus, or Indians experience racism. Simple ga anti-Brahmin, anti-Hindu, anti-India ani rasthey saripoyedi

Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented. Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped. Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals. Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world. Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics." Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology. Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

Tamil-Brahmi, Sanskrit, and Prakrit inscriptions found near Pharaohs' tombs reveal the remarkable reach of ancient India. History is bigger than we think.

Darling of Brown Sepoys and the Indian ruling class elites, Churchill hated Hindus from his core.

Who are the Indians actually destroying India's image spreading Pakistani anti-India propaganda? They need to introspect. Doing it for politics and profits is not worth it.

Something most people don't know: India holds the largest written record of any civilisation. 1 crore manuscripts. 3 lakh inscriptions in stone. We gave the world zero. Wrote down surgery and calculus centuries before the West did. Today, less than 1% can be read or searched. The rest is quietly turning to dust. In the age of AI, knowledge a machine can't read is knowledge the world will never use. MIDF is working to change that. Help us keep India's memory alive. Donate below

In Sindh, Buddhists actively sided with the Arab invaders against the Hindu population, a decision that ultimately led to their own disappearance. Their support for the Arabs began even before the defeat of Raja Dahir. reddit.com/r/IndianHistory/c…

Right from the mentions in Mahabharata w.r.t. Parshurama (जामदग्न्य) to Gerald Aungier in 17th century to current times, the land in the ocean is getting reclaimed since forever. ततः शूर्पारकं देशं सागरस्तस्य निर्ममे, सहसा जामदग्न्यस्य सोऽपरान्तमहीतलम् || “The sea suddenly created Shurparaka desha (Sopara in current times) by vacating the place for Jamadagnikumar Parshuram; Which is also called Aparant Bhoomi” - Mahabharata, Shanti Parva, 49, 66-67

This hurts a lot. But sadly true. We can have Ambanis and Adanis but to truly have brilliance work in India is impossible. Mediocrity will never allow excellence to succeed. It feels threatened. Reason why America will remain great that they allow brilliance to flourish. Chinese have also adapted differently. India remains stuck to 1947.
Indians are blaming Infy/Murthy/Nandan for a lack of home-grown LLM. But that blame is misplaced. Infy/Murthy/Nandan could never start an AI company. They had money and they could have fund something. But that again, is their money and why should they risk it? The real culprit here is Amitabh Kant and other IAS like him. These are the people, why I left India and started two companies in the US. These are the people, why much of Indian talent left to work for US based companies. And these folks did well. Let's say the government gives me $10B and ask me to set up an AI lab in India. Am I qualified to do it? YES. Will I do it? HELL NO And you would ask why? Some would say that I have a cozy life in the US. Some would say, I have deep connection in the US, including family. All of that is correct but does not pin point the reason why I wont start a company in India. The real reason is Babu. Unlike, many In India who think competing for 1000 seats using some bullshit essay writing contest makes Babu some wizard, I have not come across one, I will hire as an analyst. Under no circumstance, I am gonna report to a babu (Happy report to Dharmendra Pradhan or Smriti Irani though). Also, under no circumstances, I will accept a position where I am unable to fire and put an IAS in jail if they reported to me and indulged in some corruption. Till this babu problem is fixed, no NRI would come to India. If I were the CIA or CCP, trying to ensure that India does not gain AI independence, I would make every effort to protect Babu fiefdom.
