History resurfaces in Varanasi! 🌊 An intricately carved, 200 kg Shivling dating potentially to the Mauryan era was retrieved from the Ganga by local fishermen. Every grain of sand in Kashi belongs to Shiva.🙏

His name is Ranjitsinh Disale. He wanted to be an engineer. When that did not work out, his father suggested he train as a teacher instead. In 2009, he was posted to a government primary school in Paritewadi, a small village in Solapur district, Maharashtra. The school was a crumbling building wedged between two storerooms, one of which had been used as a cattle shed. What he found there troubled him. Girls were being married off young instead of being sent to class. Attendance was poor. The textbooks were written in a language many of the children, who spoke Kannada at home, could not properly read. He decided to fix all of it, starting with the books. He learned the children’s mother tongue and rewrote their textbooks in a language they could actually understand. Then he did something no one in India was doing at the time. He printed unique QR codes inside the textbooks, allowing students with access to a phone to scan a page and instantly access audio poems, video lessons and practice questions. A village school in Solapur had built a digital classroom out of paper and printed squares. The results changed the village. Girls’ attendance reached nearly one hundred percent. Teenage marriages in the area stopped. His QR code idea worked so well that the Maharashtra government adopted it across the state. The following year, the national education body embedded QR codes in textbooks across the country. In 2020, Ranjitsinh Disale won the Global Teacher Prize. He was chosen from more than twelve thousand nominations across roughly one hundred and forty countries and was the only Indian in the top ten. The award carried one million dollars, around seven crore rupees. Then he did something no winner had ever done before. He announced that he would give away half the prize money, dividing it equally among the other nine finalists so that their work could continue as well. He said teachers are the real change makers. He meant all of them, not just himself. A man who became a teacher only because engineering did not work out changed how an entire country learns, and then gave half his fortune to the people he had competed against.

#GratitudePost 🇮🇳🇮🇳 This is what Nabhastra Private Limited wrote on naming their new defence drone in honour of raja beta 'Today, Nabhastra takes immense pride in unveiling AKSHAY — our indigenous VTOL UAV platform, named in honour of Major Akshay Girish, a brave son of India whose courage, sacrifice, and devotion to the nation continue to inspire us. AKSHAY is a symbol of resilience. A reminder that true heroes never leave us. And a commitment that the values they stood for continue to guide our mission. As this platform takes to the skies, it carries with it the spirit of a soldier who gave everything for the nation he loved. May every flight honour his memory. May every mission reflect his courage. May his legacy continue to soar above the clouds he once protected. To the family of Major Akshay Girish, we offer our deepest respect and gratitude. We are humbled to carry his name forward. Built in India. Built for India.' Thank you for this huge tribute 🙏 Jai Hind 🇮🇳 #AkshayDrone #Nabhastra #VTOLUAV #DefenceInnovation #MakeInIndia #AtmanirbharBharat

Just small rain turns Hyderabad into Venice. No BRS or Congress govt fixed the drainage system in Hyderabad. But they will talk about national and international issues.

Her name is Vijayalakshmi. She is playing 'Gayathiri Veena" which was made by her father and it has only one string. She recently won a Guinness World Record for playing the Gayathiri Veena for 24 hours continuously. She played 64 songs at a time. Surprising factor - she is blind.

Comparisons are futile but for me one of India's greatest engineering achievements remains the 217 feet tall shadowless Brihadisvara Temple built by Raja Raja Chola I in 1010. Crafted with giant interlocked stones and crowned by an 81 ton kumbam, it was built within six years.

People say the Taj Mahal is a symbol of love for one of his favorite wife who died in her fourteenth child birth. But I would say the Kailasa temple at Verul (Ellora) is a much bigger symbol of love. The Rashtrakuta king Krishna I became seriously ill and his queen prayed to Bhagvan Shiva that she would get a grand temple built, if the king recovered. The king did recover and the queen declared that she would give up food till she sees the kalash of the Shiva temple. The king was shocked as completing the kalash of a grand temple could take months if not years. So he checked with a lot of sculptors and one suggested the top down approach where the kalash would be made first and then the rest of the temple carved later. Thus, the queen was saved. I consider it a much bigger symbol of love (and devotion) than the Taj Mahal.

His name is Bailochan Juang. He is from Nadam village under Barahagada Panchayat in Keonjhar district, Odisha. His family belongs to the Juang community, one of the particularly vulnerable tribal groups in the state. The Juang live in the hills of Keonjhar, in villages where a road is a promise, not a certainty, and where safe drinking water, electricity and a nearby school are things other Indians take for granted. They have very little money. This is where Bailochan grew up. This year, he scored 83 percent in his 2 examination. For most students, that score opens doors. For Bailochan, it raised a question he did not know how to answer. His family could not afford to send him to college. After he passed Class 10, he had already understood what was coming. He realised that without money, higher studies would be impossible. So he began thinking about how he could earn it himself. He travelled to Bhubaneswar and worked as a daily wage labourer. According to his family, he returned home after he was not paid the wages he was owed. Back in his village, he took up work at a hotel to save money for his own education. A boy who scored 83 percent was washing dishes to pay for the college he had earned a place in. His story was picked up by local media. It spread. The district administration, which had not known he existed, was suddenly made aware of him. The District Collector directed officials to visit his village. The District Welfare Officer travelled to Nadam, met Bailochan and his father, and assured the family that his education would not be allowed to stop for want of money. The administration said it would prepare a detailed report and send it to the government so that support could be arranged. Bailochan said this: “After passing Class 10, I realised that without money it would be difficult to pursue higher studies. That is why I started thinking about how to earn. If the government helps me, I will be able to concentrate fully on my studies and perform even better. I will work hard to fulfil my dream.” He earned the marks himself. He found work himself. The system arrived only after the cameras did. He is still waiting to find out if he can go to college. Follow for verified stories every Indian deserves to know.

'Experiments with truth' of our time

Claude scanned every Polymarket wallet and GitHub repo overnight. Woke me up with $3,582 in profit. The edge was not predicting the future. It was finding the 11 wallets and 4 patterns that actually work while everyone else bleeds. Most traders are chasing alpha in the wrong places. Claude found it in: → Wallet behavior patterns across 12,000 addresses → Open source trading scripts with proven P&L → Position sizing that scales with edge confidence → Arbitrage windows that close in under 90 seconds It built an agent that combined all four. Deployed at midnight. Ran while I slept. 94 trades executed. 87% win rate. $3,582 profit from $200 starting capital. No predictions. No guessing. Just math exploiting information gaps. The setup takes 1 hour to deploy. The agent runs 24/7 after that. You only need Claude device 1 hour to start. Giving This Free for 24 hours. To get it: 1. Comment the word CLAUDE 2. Like and Retweet this post 3. Follow me @codewithimanshu (so i can DM you) Save this post. Build the agent this weekend. Start with $200. Scale on evidence.

The Delhi anti-Hindu riots in February 2020 did not begin on the streets. And this revelation might be the beginning of the end of the careers of charlatan 'activists'. The Delhi Police's 2700-page chargesheet says it began in rooms where activists, lawyers, student leaders and professional “dissent managers” discussed mobilisation, chakka jam, social media narratives and mosque-led street pressure. The question is: how many riots in India were first drafted in such drawing rooms before they exploded on the streets? This expose by @UnSubtleDesi in @OpIndia_com is clear: Prashant Bhushan’s Jangpura premises hosted one of the earliest conspiracy meetings attended by Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam and Yogendra Yadav. opindia.com/2023/12/delhi-an…

For years, major institutions have framed India and Hindus through the lens of nationalism, extremism, and suspicion. But what we've uncovered on @Wikipedia raises a deeper question: who gets to write the public record? Our investigation found that a small cluster of anonymous editors controlled more than 80% of the @HinduAmerican page. Among the findings: Blatant Conflict of Interest: The editors aggressively shaping HAF’s page were the exact same people controlling the Wikipedia profiles of HAF's legal adversaries and academic critics. Inserting False FARA Allegations: Editors laundered complaints from HAF's opponents into "facts," using demands for a DOJ investigation to falsely brand HAF as a foreign agent Administrative Silencing: An admin with supreme platform permissions deleted quotes from HAF's leadership, stripping the organization of its right to reply to allegations. Over four years (2021-2025), editors systematically erased HAF’s identity as an American civil rights group, transforming its Wikipedia page into a heavily curated dossier of accusations. Our report from @npovmedia documents how it happened. 👇

36 km from Tirupati, there is a temple most people drive right past on their way to Balaji. It’s called Srikalahasti. And once you know what it actually is, you’ll visit that for sure🧵 The name itself tells a story. Sri = spider. Kala = serpent. Hasti = elephant. Legend says these three creatures worshipped Lord Shiva at this very spot to attain moksha. The spider wove a web over the lingam. The serpent offered its shed skin. The elephant poured water from the Suvarnamukhi river over it every single day. Three creatures. Three elements. One devotion. The temple is named after all three. Now here’s what makes it extraordinary. Srikalahasti is one of the Pancha Bhoota Sthalams five temples across South India, each representing one element of nature. Earth is at Kanchipuram. Water at Thiruvanaikaval. Fire at Thiruvannamalai. Sky at Chidambaram. And air (Vayu) is here at Srikalahasti. This is the Vayu Lingam. The temple of the wind. And here is the part that gives people goosebumps. There is a lamp inside the inner sanctum that flickers constantly even though the sanctum is sealed and there is no wind. The flame moves on its own. For centuries. This is why it’s called the Vayu Lingam. The air element is said to live here, swaying a flame that should be still. The lingam is white, shaped like an elephant’s trunk. The priests do not touch it directly even the abhishekam is done with great care. There is more. Srikalahasti is the most famous Rahu-Ketu kshetra in India. Most temples don’t even perform Rahu-Ketu pooja, it’s considered inauspicious. Here, it is the main ritual. Performed daily from 6 AM to 6 PM. People come from across the country to remove the planetary doshas they believe are blocking their lives. The history runs deep. The inner temple dates back to the 5th century, built by the Pallavas. The Cholas expanded it in the 11th century. And Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagara Empire built the grand structure in 1516. It is mentioned in the Skanda Purana, Shiva Purana, and Linga Purana. They call it Dakshina Kailasam, the Kailash of the South. If you’re ever in Tirupati, give Srikalahasti half a day. Stand in front of a flame that moves without wind, in a temple older than most countries. Some things you have to feel to understand. వెయ్యేళ్ళ చరిత్ర, గాలి కదలకుండా వెలిగే దీపం, శ్రీకాళహస్తి అద్భుతం. 🙏 🙏

Starting tomorrow, Supreme court of India is on a six-week summer vacation and will be operating at just 19% of its capacity. There are 53 million cases pending in Indian courts - 93,143 of them are pending in the Supreme Court. A judge can go on a vacation, a judiciary cannot.

Researchers from IIT Madras and IISc Bengaluru have solved a chemistry puzzle that remained unanswered for over 70 years. As reported in The Indian Express, the team led by Prof. Sundargopal Ghosh and Stutee Mohapatra from the Department of Chemistry, IIT Madras, along with Prof. Eluvathingal Jemmis from IISc Bengaluru, has synthesised a carbon-free molecule that mimics the iconic ‘sandwich’ structure of ferrocene. Using osmium and boron-based rings instead of carbon, the breakthrough marks the first stable carbon-free version of the molecule — something scientists worldwide had long attempted to achieve. Published in the prestigious journal Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…), the discovery could open new pathways for designing advanced materials with unique chemical and structural properties.
