Hello @amazonIN I have received a package meant for someone else - the name, address are correct, but I have not ordered it, is not a gift. Your contact-us feature was great. It has now become a nightmare to contact customer care. No contact info in the below snippet too!

1/ My three-volume history places the Indian subcontinent at the centre of world civilisation. On the question of continuity, it is the most impressive case on earth, and the one Western scholarship has most consistently underestimated. 2/ At Bhimbetka's 30,000-year-old paintings, a dancing deity with bangles and trident immediately recalls the dancing Shiva of today, as Michael Wood observed, and as I cite in my own work. A 14,000-year-old yoni stone near Allahabad was recognised on sight by local villagers. This demonstrates continuity. Therefore the seal is a middle chapter in the whole story. 3/ The argument that Indian sacred symbols require a Elamite or steppe source was constructed in the 19th century by Max Muller, who never visited India. He later called his 1,500 BC date for the Rig Veda 'merely hypothetical.' Subsequent historians copied the original date and ignored the retraction. Voltaire said 'everything has come to us from the banks of the Ganges.' He was wrong about most things but right about this.

i could definitely afford my own computer. my dad bought me one in 5th class. clearly you're optimizing for engagement, but please don't make stuff up. it does a disservice to people who actually don't have the privilege.

No, the truck crossed the railway tracks at the wrong time, at a much lower speed than necessary. The locomotive is blameless and did not 'strike'.

Bengaluru: BSWML has launched 'DClutter' mobile app for doorstep collection of bulky waste such as old furniture, mattresses, cupboards, sanitary fittings & discarded clothes in Bengaluru. Such waste was often dumped on roadsides as it was not covered under regular collection. During a pilot drive, BSWML collected nearly 6,000 tonnes of bulky waste. Citizens can use the Android & iOS app to register, select items & schedule pickups for scientific recycling & disposal @BSWML_GBA

Insightful thread

And then the so-called 'historians' wonder why they are not credible any more. When your bias blinds you do much that you cannot do a simple fact check, it does not inspire high confidence in your version of history.

Implementing the announcement by PM @narendramodi to promote youth exchanges across Bay of Bengal region, @MEAIndia hosted a BIMSTEC Exchange Program for Young Leaders in association with @ArtOfLiving in Bangalore and Bhubaneswar on 25-30 April 2026. The initiative is in line with India’s strong commitment to strengthen sustainable regional cooperation in its neighborhood. It is expected to nurture future-ready leaders with an approach of integrating inner well-being with leadership, systems thinking, collaborative problem-solving and community engagement.

Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition. GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before. Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country. The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything. The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot. Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart. GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution. Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time. For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day. GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission. Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru. Take a bow!

In a world where leaders often get caught up in their own image, how can spiritual leaders stay grounded? In this clip, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (@Gurudev) shares his perspective on true leadership: it’s not about promoting yourself, but about walking the talk, serving society, and giving selflessly. He explains why spirituality thrives in love, connection, and humility, rather than ego or personal gain. Discover what makes a leader genuinely worthy of following.

A few weeks ago, Novo Nordisk cut the price of Ozempic in India by up to 48%. Some versions of the same molecule are now available for ₹1,290 a month, down from ₹8,800-11,175. A 90% price collapse in a matter of weeks. Novo Nordisk didn't decide to be generous. They were forced to. 🧵👇

Then came Canada. Canada is one of the first major Western markets where semaglutide patents had already lapsed. When Dr. Reddy's filed to sell its generic there, Health Canada asked for additional data that Dr. Reddy's and Sandoz couldn't provide. Their launch has been pushed down the line.

Goa became the first state in India to host The Art of Living Unsung Everyday Heroes Awards — marking the start of celebrations for our 45th Anniversary & Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's 70th Birthday.

Awardees: •⁠ ⁠Dr. Ashok Anant Amshekar – Business & Philanthropy •⁠ ⁠Raghuvir Mahale – Youth Leadership •⁠ ⁠Nitesh Sanjay Belurkar – Sports Excellence The evening also featured a sapling watering ceremony as part of a plantation drive 🌱, the launch of seva projects, and a powerful demonstration of the Intuition Process ✨

BBC’s Nikhil Inamdar pushes a misleading narrative Reality check👇 Delhi Metro: 65-67 lakh daily, 235 crore yearly, exceeded DPR projections, 99.9% punctuality. Bengaluru: 10-10.5 lakh daily, crossed 1 million milestone Mumbai: 8.5 lakh daily, network expanding beyond 100 km. Ahmedabad: 1.5-2 lakh daily, growing steadily. Lucknow: 1 lakh daily, scaling with Phase-I India didn’t “splurge” it built future-ready urban lifelines. Demand is rising, networks are expanding, and impact goes beyond ticket counts -productivity, real estate, congestion reduction. 🇮🇳 Follow the thread below for more 👇
