Why should India import something it can build better? That's the question behind our next big move. For years, electric toothbrushes sold in India have largely been imported. That model worked. But it was never the end goal. The end goal was always to build. Today, we're excited to share that we're partnering with @SagarAwatade and @ORACURA for the next phase of Indianisation. The moulds are locked and the payments are done. Training visits begin in July. And soon, electric toothbrushes made for Indians will be made in India. Our vision is that every product we build it locally, creates: - skills - jobs - supplier ecosystems that ultimately makes us Atmanirbhar.

The West removes ancient experiential wisdom from its cultural context, maps it to a molecular pathway & names it something like Autophagy (which got a Nobel in 2016)/Intermittent Fasting and suddenly it is ‘science’. If our Indian grandma tells us to fast on Ekadashi, she is a backward dogmatist. But when Dr. Valter Longo does this for us in a Cell Stem Cell journal, it becomes a major medical breakthrough. When Ayurveda says Langhana (fasting) fires up Agni which burns Ama, they were indeed naming the very same phenomenon as Dr Longo. Ayurveda witnessed the forest: “When we stop putting wood in the fire, the fire burns the dead leaves inside the house. Modern Science says: “Glucose depletion negatively impacts the PKA pathway, activating a decrease in IGF-1 & initiating regeneration with hematopoietic stem cells.” Looking at the same mountain from 2 different angles shows two interpretations. 1 describes a user manual for life; the other a chemistry breakdown of the machine. Modern peer review is a gatekeeping mechanism with deep ties to the Western pharma & academic economy. Producing a scientific paper requires significant financial resources to support research, publication & distribution. There is no profit in telling people to eat nothing. Therefore, for decades, Western science actively ignored fasting research because it did not feed the trillion-dollar pharmaceutical pipeline. The moment it became clear that fasting could complement chemotherapy, reducing the toxic side effects of multi-billion dollar oncology drugs, suddenly funding appeared, papers were reviewed, and it became "validated." The West will continue to "discover" what India always knew. The goal for young India now is to stop waiting for a Western certificate of approval. We need to fund our own clinical research, study our own texts with scientific rigor & reclaim the narrative before it is packaged & sold back to us in a capsule.

Dhurandhar showed reality and it was termed as propaganda. But these deliberate changing of identity of people who were actually involved is not propaganda, it is creative liberty.
The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa). The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982. The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt. Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative. This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.

Missionaries often portray conversion to Christianity as a path away from caste-based discrimination and towards equality, while arguing that Hinduism is oppressive towards Dalits. If conversion is meant to transcend caste identities, then why do labels such as "Dalit Christians" continue to be used even after conversion?

The Himalaya's iconic Rhododendron is on the brink. 🏔️🌸 While climate change pushes it uphill, we are chopping it down for fuel, medicine, & "development." Supporting insects, birds, entire forest ecosystems—and livelihoods for rural communities—the fate of Rhododendron is at stake. If the Himalaya loses this flower, we lose a cornerstone of mountain life. Conservation isn't optional. It's survival. What will we protect first? 🤔 #Himalaya #Rhododendron #ClimateAction #WildlifeConservation #ForestGuardians @sakshijoshii @MrinalPande1 @pantlp @hridayeshjoshi @thebetterindia Pics: Ajay Singh Karki

Exactly. Moment you take a maritime view of world history, India is at the center of it. This comes as a surprise even to most Indians.
40 years in shipping gave me one unusual qualification as a historian: I had no academic orthodoxies to protect. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I followed the sea lanes backwards into deep antiquity. Without exception, they converged on the Indian subcontinent. This was not the book I had intended to write. I must give credit to my editor, who gave an unknown author with a controversial approach, an opportunity. His first attempts to find peer reviewers encountered significant resistance. The argument that India sat at the centre of ancient world trade, not its periphery, was considered, to put it gently, inconvenient. What I found, and what I could not stop finding, is that placing India at the centre of world history does not simply revise one chapter. It cascades. Correct the starting assumption and you are forced to reconsider the origins of mathematics, medicine, philosophy, linguistics, religion. Each conclusion leads to another. I came to call these the collateral heresies. My three books explain the architecture of how they connect. If you work in a field where received wisdom is protected by institutional interest rather than evidence, you will recognise the pattern. The question is whether the evidence eventually wins.

"Watch Kanhaiya Lal's beheading. You will receive the same fate. It is your turn now. Even Modi won't be able to save you." Scary threats to Hindu seer @drsumanandgiri because of his views. This cannot be normalised anymore. @HMOIndia should immediately provide him security.

"Police ko ham sambhal lenge. Bajrang Dal ko kaun sambhalega?" (We will handle the police. How are we going to handle Bajrang Dal?) This is what several clerics told Shahid Parvez when he went to mosques in Delhi's Okhla area with this Hindu woman to get conversion-nikahnama papers What this reveals: Laws matter but conversion networks fear alert local communities more For every case that reaches a police station, there are many many more that are stopped because ground warriors intervene. Naman to every one of them

Actor Prakash Raj faced a fierce reality check at today's press conference as journalists completely cornered him over his typical 'hit-and-run' remarks. Known for making provocative statements and safely walking away, he finally found himself in the hot seat with nowhere to run. When reporters demanded accountability and grilled him with sharp, evidence-based follow-ups, his usual rhetoric fell completely flat. Instead of giving clear, direct answers, the actor was seen fumbling, evading the core issues, and visibly struggling to maintain his composure under pressure. This total meltdown proves that sensationalism cannot survive the test of rigorous journalism. For too long, vague allegations have passed as commentary, but today the media held the mirror up to him. He came prepared to deliver a monologue but was left utterly speechless when forced into a real dialogue. A massive reality check and a complete embarrassment for the actor! #PrakashRaj #PressConference #MediaGrilling #Accountability #HitAndRun Politics

EXCLUSIVE: During Annual Day programme of Kids World English School in Partur, Jalna — school children danced on the Pakistani song of "Gustakh Nabi Ki Ek Saza..." with dummy swords. In the background, they had celebrated with photo of Pakistani terrorist Mumtaz Qadri, who had assassinated Pakistan's Punjab Governor — as he had spoken in defence of a Christian woman Asia Bibi, accused of blasphemy. This school claims to be affiliated with CBSE board ( @cbseindia29), and allegedly is promoting extremist ideology amongst children. We urge @NCPCR_ to immediately take cognizance of the matter, and direct security agencies to investigate it and take appropriate action. cc: @DGPMaharashtra, @sp_jalna

Europeans and American patriots! Tomorrow, the courts of my country, France, may decide to send me to prison for daring to say on television that “the main danger to women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men.” Meanwhile, my own attacker, a Tunisian migrant, is still at large. I need your help to generate media pressure and hope to be acquitted. They cannot silence the truth! Thank you for your support 💪🏻🇫🇷

Who built this mazaar right in the middle of a forest in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand? They are following the Kerala model where they build mosques (and churches) at every vantage point in the state. It is a form of territorial marking. First they construct a mosque, and then they claim the land around it. This immediately lowers the land value as Hindus start avoiding the area, making it convenient for Muslims to move in. @pushkardhami @BJP4UK are you sleeping?

I remain deeply grateful to Ambassador Shri TP Sreenivasan for his encouragement and steadfast support during my Lok Sabha election campaign in 2024, and for authoring Rajeev Chandrasekhar: Oru Vijayagadha, which beautifully captured my journey and vision and connected it with the people of Keralam. Wishing him good health, happiness, and many more years of an inspiring life. Happy Birthday, Sir! @Sreeniv

What a truly fantastic quote! Nothing reflects better the downfall of the Communists, the militant secularists, the terror enablers who are more usefully understood as Urban Naxals (terrorists with pens & PR basically for those unaware), and the ideological cabal which perpetuated all of the above, than this high-pitched whine from Arundhati. So, let us dissect for the pure pleasure of it: "Iran is standing up to them (USA), while India cowers". This is the sort of fantasy narrative - so extreme in its distance from reality - that people sometimes take seriously because of the level of delusion involved. "Standing up" sure, but the country is so badly damaged that and still no one knows the extent of it. And if people think this negotiated ceasefire is the end of it, they better keep reading what Arundhati has to say. The "while India cowers" though is the most extreme part of this extreme narrative. What she is saying is that India should have "stood up" like Iran has done. What does that mean in practical terms? We have around $200 bn in trade with the Gulf countries and $10 bn approx with Iran. In other words, upset our Gulf partners, the US (with whom we have another $100 bn in trade), Israel (with whom our links are multi-dimensional) and possibly even our EU partners, to satisfy whom? Arundhati and her camp followers, with near zero electoral value - to make them feel better ideologically? Clearly, beyond idiotic from a strategic perspective. The thing is, those she supports in India would have done exactly that - to the detriment of our national interest. They have done that in the past. "I am ashamed of how gutless, how spineless our government has been". When the Communists, the militant secularists, the Urban Naxals are "ashamed" - be proud, be firm and contemptuous of them, for you can be sure the government is doing the right thing; and that whatever these people are suggesting is on behalf of external ideologies and/or players. "Long ago we were a poor country of very poor people. But we had pride. We had dignity." Who is the "we" who had pride and dignity? Those of us begging bureaucrats for simple permits, licenses, signatures, those being kept out of the intellectual space, those pushed out of any discussion on national narrative? Or the desperately poor, who are now coming out of absolute poverty (250 million at last count) through increased access to commerce, digital communication, loans, simple bank accounts, electricity, cooking gas, water - none of which were widely available in the 60 wasted years when she and her ilk held the reins of state? These are the ones who had dignity & pride? No, the ones who had pride and dignity were these pretend intellectuals, second-rate at best, one-time literary wonders who, for pittances from foreign sponsors usually, wrote all sorts of nonsense aimed at turning Indians into perpetual cynics, without hope, without a sense of history and without any means to recover from a millennium of subjugation. This evil woman was one amongst them. She is still feted, mainly, by external sponsors and fellow travellers - and there are many of those, in countries all around the world. The ironclad rule should be that whatever she is chastising the country for is what we are doing right. Beware of the praise of such dark characters with zero integrity or authenticity.

🔥🚨 The unthinkable is happening in KERALA. 🚨🔥 CPM flag posts and illegally erected monuments are being removed by Corporation officials. Not in some BJP stronghold. In KANNUR. 🔥 The district that Communists once treated as their personal estate. Times are changing. The monopoly is cracking. Bold.. Historic. 🚩🔥 Communist Can’t even legally plant a flag post anymore. 😂 Kerala is changing. For good. 🔥🪷🚩

Yesterday, two women visited our @sewanyaya office Both work at a beauty salon One of them, Sandhya, was a smart and aware woman who was already familiar “love jihad.” When Sandhya learnt that her colleague Shobha was a victim she brought her to our office Shobha Yadav was a single mother of a 3-year-old daughter when an account with name “SK Yadav” contacted her on Instagram He told her he liked the cooking videos she posted. The two began chatting and, two months later, met in person The man, who introduced himself as “Suresh,” was 20 years older than her He told Shobha that he would marry her and give her daughter a good future, and that in return she should take care of household chores. She agreed. She moved in with him in Delhi’s Kalkaji area Shobha’s family lives in Bihar and, according to her, they do not really care about what is happening in her life Soon after, he took her to a mosque. There, she was shocked to learn that he was not Hindu but Muslim. He told her that he had concealed his identity because she would have left him otherwise. His real name was Shahid Parvez Shobha told us that this mosque, along with several others, refused to marry them because she was Hindu. In her own words, one maulvi told them, “We can’t tackle the police, but we can’t tackle Bajrang Dal.” The two returned home. Two days later, Shahid brought a document - a nikahnama - and asked her to sign it. She did Shobha says his behaviour changed after that. He had never been particularly loving, but now he constantly pressured her to do things she didn’t like including eating meat and keeping Roza. He also began wearing a skull cap, which she disliked Soon afterwards, she discovered that he was already married and had a son. Feeling helpless, she remained silent and accepted it Later, she learnt that he also had a daughter, who was 18 years old. She accepted that as well Last week, Shahid suddenly disappeared. Shobha says that when she woke up one morning feeling unusually dizzy - she suspects he mixed something into her food the previous night to make her very sleepy - he was gone Her gold jewellery was missing, and all of his clothes had also disappeared, confirming that he had left. His phone is switched off Shobha owns almost nothing apart from the gold jewellery. She has no bank balance, no assets After a week of feeling utterly cheated and devastated, she is slowly recovering. She has shifted to a much smaller room because she can no longer afford her previous rent. To keep her kitchen running, she has already sold much of her furniture I explained to her he is a fraud Nd a religious fanatic who only wanted to convert and exploit her for his dream of sex slaves-filled jannat, and he is never going to call again Shobha, like millions of women, are unaware of Islamist fanaticism and conversion agendas. She thought she was entering a relationship, if not for love, at least for a genuine commitment to marriage. Now she feels completely shattered I spoke to her at length. She cried, sobbed, broke down several times. It was difficult even to watch We @sewanyaya are helping her file a police case for cheating. We have also extended financial assistance Proud of @RealAzadVinod and @Ajayyadav_610, who are standing by her like brothers. Proud of Sandhya, whose awareness helped bring this matter forward Every woman must know this truth

Inderjit Singh Reyat, a British-Canadian citizen of Indian origin was, is and will remain the big slap on the face of all shameless characters who keep cooking imaginary stories against India in Kanishka Bombing case. Reyat became the only person convicted in the case. Reyat, who emigrated to Canada in the 1970s, was an active member of Khalistani separatist group Babbar Khalsa. He built the explosive devices used in the bombings. On June 23, 1985, a bomb exploded aboard Air India Flight 182 over the Atlantic Ocean off Ireland on June 23, 1985,killing all 329 people on board, mostly Indo-Canadians. A second bomb, intended for another Air India flight, detonated at Narita Airport in Japan, killing two baggage handlers. In 1991, Reyat was convicted in connection with the Narita bombing on charges including manslaughter and manufacturing explosives, receiving a 10-year sentence. In 2003, he pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter for aiding in the construction of the bomb used on Flight 182 and was sentenced to 15 years. He was released from prison in 2016 after serving his sentence. Responsible for mass murder and just like a hardcore terrorist, Reyat consistently refused to fully cooperate or name other conspirators, leading courts to describe him as a lier. The bombings remain Canada’s deadliest terrorist attack, with broader justice elusive. Belief is during his incarceration period, his family kept receiving good amount of money from his co-conspirators so as to keep his mouth shut. Thought of reminding Canadians as the deadly attack anniversary nears. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…
