Let's get started from scratch. 😎🚀🤘 In a way it was good to be off X for the last 4 months. But I accept, I did miss it.

Breaking down US statement, that marks an escalation over the issue of 3 Indian seafarers being killed by US Navy, here's what it says: 1. Vessels must comply with US orders (Why?) 2. US forces are seeking to uphold peace and security( By shooting unarmed ships?) 3. In the Strait (But US ships are in the Gulf of Oman) 4. Violations of US Blockade ( which have been many) 5. Illicit transport of Iranian oil (Not according to international law, and US sanctions are only punitive economically) 6. Won't be tolerated (Regardless of loss of lives, or contravening international law) Awaiting MEA response. state.gov/releases/office-of…

Nitin Gadkari must resign! #ethanol

Indian govt isn't Indian anymore, and the US govt isn't a govt anymore, reckless uncivilized thugs. What a world we live in.

PM Modi is the most cowardly and foolish Prime Minister in India's history.

Xi Jinping took charge of China in 2013. Modi of India in 2014. Maybe instead of comparing Modi with Nehru ji, it'll be a more fruitful exercise to compare his performance with that of Xi Jinping. On AI On R&D On STEM On Exports On Employment On Manufacturing On Public nutrition On Public education On Mass prosperity ... Maybe that'll help all of us much more in setting our national goals better.

Good morning! Just got to know this! 1/2 A whole government Ministry is unleashed on me - because I speak against unscientific practices and primitive traditional healthcare that can harm, I communicate scientific information for public and patients alike. This was an official memo released during the Ministry of Ayush meeting on 12-6-2026 fully dedicated towards shutting down my social media presence. Imagine - the people in this meeting were eating biscuits and drinking tea, paid for by the citizens of the country - to decide how to gag and shutdown a citizen doctor who educates people on medical science via social media. Yesterday, my Instagram account was briefly hacked, but I got back control and removed unauthorized access within an hour. The Article 51A(h) of the Indian Constitution outlines the fundamental duty of every citizen to develop a "scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform". Added during the 42nd Amendment in 1976, this non-justiciable directive promotes logical reasoning, critical thinking, and rationality. The Ayush system is not scientific, it kills scientific temper, it does not promote the spirit of inquiry, it lacks logical reasoning, has the deadest version of critical thinking and none of its products and practices are rational. The only thing that needs to be shut down, is an unscientific body like Ayush that goes against the Indian Constitution and wastes public tax money... and not me. Also, please look closely at the person at the end, who is copied to, by the Ministry. His name is Vaidya K P Manikandan and he is the owner and founder of CNS Ayurveda Hospital, where children are treated for chronic conditions such as severe mental health disorders, autism and epilepsy (please see an official release from the hospital in the next post). One such victim of his was saved by my team (we reported it: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3629…) and he put a criminal defamation case against me and the authors (for publishing a scientific peer reviewed paper!) which was later "stayed" by the High Court of Kerala. This has nothing to do with service to patients, but everything to do with protecting the business of alternative medicine (especially Ayurveda). These low life complaintants should be ashamed.

BIG UPDATE 🚨 Auto driver arrested by Police. Shiv Sena workers tracked down the auto driver who beat a senior citizen in Thane for simply asking him not to spit & gargle on road 😳 The senior citizen is currently hospitalized with a fractured leg.

Scary visuals. Bad shivyagal langauge. An older gentleman asked a rickshaw driver not to spit in public. He got beaten up for it. Thats where we are now. Spit on the road, break traffic rules, ride on the wrong side, jump signals & if someone dares to object, respond with abuse, threats, or violence. The rule breaker are empowered. The citizen asking for basic civic behaviour gets punished.

The satisfaction after watching this video, some civic sense forcefully getting taught. ;)

NEW: Earlier this year, an obscure startup in Texas announced that it had received at least $100 mil from one of the richest men in Asia. We dug into the backstory. We discovered a saga involving Donald Trump Jr., Russian oil, and an Indian billionaire family’s private zoo.

SUNROOF MADNESS ON A GHAT ROAD 🤦‍♂️ This driver was dangerously overtaking on a double solid line at Shiradi Ghat while a child stood through the sunroof with their head sticking out. One mistake. One oncoming vehicle. A tragedy waiting to happen. Why do some people treat sunroofs like a sightseeing deck? 🚗💨

(Watch till the end) Many of you who have travelled with me are already familiar with this, but I wanted to share this video from Manas National park for everyone’s awareness. Rhinos, hippos, and gaurs are extremely powerful and unpredictable animals. While our guides sometimes get a bit adventurous and approach them closely, I would strongly recommend maintaining a safe distance unless you have a deep understanding of their behaviour. And in the unlikely event that one of these animals charges at your vehicle, please do not jump out of the jeep. They are usually targeting the vehicle, not the passengers. Jumping out can isolate you and draw their attention directly to you. Staying inside the vehicle is by far the safest option. This is also why wearing camouflage clothing is so important in the jungle, something many people tend to overlook. Stay safe and enjoy the wildlife responsibly!

Ravi Gupta at its best. That isn't a joke. Thats the reality 😭

There is a little less than a week left to apply for the 5th CV4Ecology Short Course!! Come join us at the @smithsonian next January! Please share to folks you think would benefit from hands-on skill building in AI for ecology!

What if I told you that forests hidden in our oceans may be more valuable than many forests on land ? Coral reefs, seagrass meadows and seaweed forests are among Earth’s most important ecosystems. Coral reefs cover just 0.1% of the ocean floor yet support nearly 25% of all marine species and the livelihoods of 500 million people. Seagrass meadows support about 20% of global fisheries and can store up to 140 tonnes of carbon per hectare. Seaweed forests generate billions in economic value. However there is deep crisis unfolding underwater. @UNEP and the @IPCC_CH warn that up to 90% of the world’s coral reefs could disappear by 2050, while seagrass meadows and other blue carbon ecosystems continue to decline. Tamil Nadu is at the forefront of marine conservation. With more than 77% of India’s seagrass meadows in the Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar, the State is restoring seagrass, coral reefs, mangroves and islands with @WorldBankGroup such as Kariyachalli to secure the future of dugongs, sea turtles, seahorses and countless marine species. On #WorldOceansDay, we must do our bit to conserve these marine forests. #OceansDay #WorldOceanDay

Instead of promoting Electric vehicles and providing more charging stations which is a feasible task and don’t have any foreign country’s dependency ,Suddenly govt started promoting Ethanol blended petrol and made E20mandatory for all the vehicles , is a subject of PhD research.

There are roughly 100 influential automotive journalists in India who help shape public opinion and the direction of the auto industry. Yet not one of them is seriously questioning ethanol blending, E85, isobutanol in diesel, or the long-term impact these policies may have on consumers. The silence is deafening. Why? Because speaking against powerful interests comes at a cost. I have experienced it myself. When I criticized Mahindra, people connected to the company started making inquiries about me, my earnings, and even attempted to influence me. Now there are efforts to pursue defamation claims. When I spoke about Tata’s vehicles, I was subjected to personal attacks, and event invitations for my team were affected. Recently, after posting a video about ethanol, I received pressure and threats that ultimately led to the video being taken down. This is why I openly say that much of the automotive media ecosystem is compromised. Paid promotions, paid tweets, and sponsored narratives are far more common than people realize. I know how these systems work, and I believe that is one of the reasons why very few are willing to speak critically about ethanol-related policies. The reality is that millions of consumers will be affected by these decisions. Don’t wait for journalists to be your voice people must speak for themselves. As for me, I will continue to ask questions and share my views. I have never done paid posts, and I never will. No amount of pressure, influence, or money will change that! 🙏🏻

He's fixing policies that helps him and his family make money. Clear cut conflict of interest at the cost of people But, not one is raising this issue from the opposition. You know why? Cuz they're all in this together. They're making a chu out of us!

Commercial Shipping Project to Strategic Asset: How Great Nicobar Project Was Recast thewire.in/environment/comme…

"Strategic Port?" 1/ The Centre has long called the Great Nicobar port — the biggest piece of the island's ₹81,000-crore project — "strategic," and used that label to deny information on its environmental clearances. Turns out the strategic veneer was an afterthought. 🧵
