There has been a long lament on India’s top businesses not supporting deep work on IKS. @gautam_adani has changed this. Time to shift the gear and aspire for big.

What Indian Universities Once Believed They Could Be Did you know? When Prof. Meghnad, the famous astrophysicist, left Allahabad University in 1938, the university offered the position of Head of Physics to none other than Erwin Schrödinger. And this wasn’t before his fame. Schrödinger had already won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 and was recognized worldwide as one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics. He accepted the offer, but World War II prevented him from traveling to India. Finally, in 1942, the post went to K. S. Krishnan, co-discoverer of the Raman Effect with C. V. Raman, who went on to become Director of the National Physical Laboratory. Think about that for a moment. Indian universities once had the confidence and ambition to invite the very best minds at the peak of their global fame, while also nurturing pioneers of our own. This is the scale of vision our universities had prior to Independence. Today, as we speak of Viksit Bharat 2047, it’s time to make careers in education aspirational again. Because if Indian universities could dream of Schrödinger in 1938, imagine what we should be dreaming of in 2025.

Who would believe that we weren’t making tempered glass till now! Many more items still remain to be Made in India.

A small lifestyle change with happy outcomes: Starting last week, @SoumyaAgg92 and I keep our phones right at the entrance of the homes. Now, we don’t bring them into the rooms or anywhere in the house. What was the trigger? We wanted to spend more time reading, talking, playing with the family. Phones are a distraction and an ineffective use of time, especially in the night and morning hours when usually there is nothing that needs our attention. (The phone is on ring so we can attend if someone calls). What is the result? Screen time is already down by 30%! My guess is that it will go down slightly further. Sleep is better. Night time screen exposure is one of the biggest hurdle for a good sleep. Kids are watching us. They don’t do what their parents tell them to do. They do what their parents do. Just like night, mornings too have become better with a relaxed start, giving more time for fitness and family. The first phone pick up is usually an hour after waking up. Try this out for a week. Make a phone station with a stand/table and a charger right after you enter the door. Leave the phone there. You will feel much better.

🚨 New Article Series — in Arabic! Over the past week, my analysis on India’s response to cross border terrorism and Pakistan’s desperate elevation of General Asim Munir to Field Marshal has been featured in multiple Arabic-language publications with readership across the Maghreb region and the wider Arab world. (Article links at the end ⬇️) Key points discussed: 🎯 For decades, cross-border terrorism has remained a low-cost, high-deniability instrument for Pakistan — but India’s response to the Pahalgam terror attack signals a fundamental shift in the deterrence equation. 🎖️ The desperate elevation of General Asim Munir is a propaganda stunt aimed at deflecting attention from military failures, public discontent, and deepening internal instability. 🗡️ His appointment also reaffirms the Pakistan Army’s enduring hostility towards India as a cornerstone of its institutional identity, and a means for the military-jihadist complex to maintain domestic control. ⚠️ Munir’s rise has been marked by an increasing use of Islamist symbolism and rhetoric to consolidate personal authority — an ominous trend with long-term implications. 🛡️ New Delhi’s posture reflects a growing unwillingness to tolerate provocation without consequence, rejecting both diplomatic indulgence and nuclear blackmail. 🌍 The international community must call out Pakistan’s use of terrorism as an instrument of state policy, and its dangerous reliance on the outdated playbook of denial and deflection.

Had visited Naxal-infected areas in Chhattisgarh as a college student. Bastar was a no-go zone. I had only read about it in @rahulpandita's book. That it might get back to normalcy was a distant dream. What an achievement! timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

The Neuroliberal Agenda Is Failing Our Children. At the recent launch of our book 'Who is raising your children?' at Rishihood University, I explained how the latest ideologies, such as Neuroliberalism, indoctrinate children to comply with the woke and the globalist agendas. Watch👇

We need to increase the awareness on strategic and security issues, including in our education system. Was a pleasure to host @shivkunalverma at Rishihood and getting familiarized with his wonderful work in this area.
