Parul Chaudhary keeps rewriting history! 🇮🇳🔥 The Indian distance runner clocked a national record-breaking 15:04.26 in the women’s 5000m at the Meeting Nikaïa in France, improving her own mark by over six seconds.⚡

Parties built around personalities rather than an ideology will face this threat sooner or later. As of today only the BJP(RSS) and the left (of whatever remains of it) has any ideology. You may like or dislike their ideologies but that’s the fact

Finally something happening with recurve

Indian athletics is finally coming of age. Give it few years and see the miracles

#WATCH | Chandigarh: Opinder Kaur Sekhon, a 65-year-old masters athlete from Chandigarh and mother-in-law of Vikramaditya Singh, Himachal Pradesh's PWD Minister, won four medals at the 38th Malaysian International Masters Athletics Championship. She said, "I participated in the 100-meter race, 200 meters, 400 meters, and discus throw at the 38th Malaysian International Masters Athletics Championship. This was my first international competition. I had set a goal to win four medals. I won a silver medal in the 100 meters, a silver medal in the 200 meters, a gold medal in the 400 meters, and a gold medal in the discus throw... Recovering from a brain tumor was difficult; it took me seven years to fully recover..." (12.06)

अंतर्राष्ट्रीय ख्याति प्राप्त शूटर जसपाल राणा के आकस्मिक निधन से मैं स्तब्ध और शोकाकुल हूँ। जसपाल एक उत्कृष्ट खिलाड़ी और कोच होने के साथ-साथ अत्यंत सहज, सरल और बहुत ही नेकदिल इंसान थे। भारत में शूटिंग को एक खेल के रूप में लोकप्रिय बनाने में उनकी बड़ी प्रभावी भूमिका थी। जसपाल राणा ने वर्ल्ड शूटिंग चैंपियनशिप एवं एशियन गेम्स में भारत को गोल्ड मेडल दिला कर भारत का नाम पूरे विश्व में रोशन किया। उनके निधन से भारतीय खेल जगत को एक बड़ी क्षति हुई है। ईश्वर उनके शोक-संतप्त परिजनों को इस पीड़ा को सहने की शक्ति प्रदान करें। इस कठिन समय में उनके परिवार और प्रसशंकों के प्रति मैं अपनी हार्दिक संवेदना व्यक्त करता हूँ। ओम शांति!

Iran’s fundamental mistake is that it believes this war is not existential for the US. This war is existential for the so called American pact aka Pax Americana. The pact in which the US provided investments, military protection, and a very sophisticated financial infrastructure. In return, the other participants focused on what they could do best. The division of labor, and comparative advantage: China: high quality labor, GCC Arabs: cheap and reliable energy, etc. As part of the pact, any excess capital from these participants would get invested in US financial markets, primarily in the form US treasuries, but also venture capital (eg Saudi money in Softbank), and other instruments. This did two things: 1-Lower the cost of capital in the US. This meant lower interest rates, higher stock market, more money available for startups, lower housing costs, and many other things. 2-The invested capital served as a hostage, a guarantee of good behavior by those in the system, which supplied some level of stability to the pact. The US could theoretically seize or freeze the assets of any misbehaving participants. Parts of this pact have already been going away. China is not a US satellite state or even a partner. It is a competitor, building its own pact in the form of Belt and Road Initiative. It is also reducing its exposure to US treasuries and increasing its gold reserves. If the US loses its dominance over the Persian gulf, another part of this pact will break. The GCC Arab states have lost their protection, while still having a hostage in the US. That’s an incentive to reduce their exposure and diversify their assets out of the US. It will also send a signal to everyone else in US orbit that the military protection is not available anymore. As these orbit states reduce their exposure to US assets, the cost of capital in the US will rise: higher interest rates, lower stock market, higher home financing costs, fewer startups, etc. Furthermore, the US has $31T public debt, with average maturity of 5.9 years. As the interest rates rise, the cost of rolling over this debt is going to rise. Last but not least, there’s about $1.6T in additional debt that gets added every year, which will be paying higher interest. As the debt/GDP ratio rises, the feedback loop kicks in: the US has to pay a higher interest rate to keep the same investor. This is why the loss of the Persian Gulf is so significant for the US. I might write a later post about the effect of rates on debt financing.

The only time i am use physics 😁😁

Many senior journalists have fallen into the trap of assuming that what is happening to the TMC has always happened in Bengal. This is patently untrue. Firstly, Congress leaders and workers stayed with the party throughout the long 34-year tenure of the Left Front. After the Left Front lost in 2011, it remained largely intact as a political entity despite the campaign of terror unleashed on its cadre in rural Bengal. Even in 2014, the Left Front got a 30% vote-share — a larger number of marginal voters switched, but the core remained with the LF. In fact, in the 2016 assembly elections the Left and Congress 'Mahajot' retained their aggregate vote share at 39% — roughly the same as what they had got in 2014, when they fought in opposing camps. The violent ouster of the Left cadre from rural Bengal accelerated after this, peaking during the 2018 Panchayat elections. After that the Left's core base switched en masse to the BJP, instead of joining or backing Mamata Banerjee. The Left's cadre needed a 'shelter' against the TMC's terror tactics in rural Bengal, and they found it in the BJP, which was in power at the centre. Not only do voting patterns after 2016 confirm this, but researchers who have worked in rural Bengal have reported this shift as well. What is happening now to the TMC is an entirely novel process. It is taking place because the TMC sustained itself around a personality cult of sorts. When the leader fell, everyone began deserting the ship. There is no previous parallel to this in West Bengal's political history.

News now: A young 'physician' in his early 40s working as medical officer at an Ayush Primary Health Center and an executive member of one of the leading Association of Homeopathy practitioners, developed infected diabetic ulcer related complications leading to progressive leg infection and sepsis with multiple organ injury. They took him to a proper hospital where, to control the source, they even chopped his infected leg. But it was too late and even that did not help and he eventually died of septic shock and multiple organ failure. He was on Homeopathic management himself, for diabetes. The Homeopathy community is shocked. The Medical science community is not.

A jet engine is incredibly complex to make. Temp exceeds 1500 deg C inside, most metal alloys melt at this point (recall Kaveri engines jamming). Technique of cooling is built by experience. Additionally a single average blade experiences a centrifugal pulling force of 20 tons.

What is a career politician? If its liking a party to a corporate then at least she is being candid. It is high time parties think about paying salaries to party workers. Will she get her pension from Vidhan sabha and RS seats? If yes then her assertion does not mean much

India's economy is genuinely in trouble. But this piece gets both the diagnosis and the cure wrong. Look at how it keeps score: money flowing in, the currency, stock-market rankings, how much foreign investors pulled out. That measures whether capital is comfortable, not whether the country can make things. By that scoreboard a place that produces nothing but keeps investors happy looks like a winner. The question is set up wrong from the first line. The cure it prescribes, lower taxes, fewer rules, woo capital harder, is the exact medicine India has swallowed for a decade, and the article's own evidence is the record of it failing. India chased Tesla, paid Apple to assemble iPhones, and treated investment inflows as a national scoreboard, and got a few assembly lines with little capability behind them. Telling a patient to double the dose that made him sick is odd advice. The protections it scolds, local courts before arbitration, capital-gains tax, a higher bar on imports, are ordinary tools for a country that wants to keep its own tax and regulatory powers and build its industry. India's real error was who it sheltered: Tata, Reliance, Adani, the incumbents who needed it least, while the protection never went toward forcing real competition. Wooing capital and building industry are two different jobs, and India keeps mistaking the first for the second. The weak rupee and the thin investment are symptoms. The missing industrial base is the disease. #India #Modi #Economy #Manufacturing

There is a pernicious subtext — implicit or explicit — in all the talk about the global decline in fertility that it is somehow the fault of women, perhaps even 'feminism'. Pregnancy and motherhood have life-changing effects on women that, within the space of a few years, disempower even the most privileged among them. Despite all the gains that women have made in the domain of rights over the past 50 years, society has done nothing to empower mothers. Any efforts to reverse the decline in fertility have to tackle this first.

This is how my parents used to say how they got to school

Yes, Britain famously transferred wealth to India. When British arrived in India its share of the world economy was 4%. When they left in 1947, they had taken it to 23%, roughly equal to all of Europe combined. On a serious note. The Indian railways were financed entirely by bonds sold on the London Stock Exchange. British investors were guaranteed a return of 5% per annum by the colonial government. A guaranteed return, in an era when no other safe investment in Britain offered anything close. And who guaranteed those returns? Indian taxpayers. Indians paid for the construction. Indians paid the guaranteed profits to British shareholders. Indians paid for the equipment, which was manufactured exclusively in Britain and shipped to India at inflated prices. One mile of Indian railway cost twice what the same mile cost to build in Canada or Australia, because the guaranteed return meant there was no incentive to control costs. The more it cost, the more British investors and suppliers earned. And what were these railways designed to do? Move raw materials from India’s interior to ports. Cotton from the Deccan to Bombay. Jute from Bengal to Calcutta. Coal from Bihar to wherever the Empire needed it. Tea from Assam to London’s drawing rooms. The routes connected mines and plantations to harbors. Not cities to cities. Not people to opportunities. Raw materials to ships. The Indian public’s transportation needs were, as Shashi Tharoor put it, entirely incidental. Oh, and the railways also moved troops. Very efficiently. So that when Indians protested being looted, the British could deploy soldiers to shoot them. That was the other “infrastructure investment.” But wait, there is more. Before the railways, India had the world’s finest textile industry. The British smashed the looms, broke the weavers’ thumbs (this is not metaphor, this is documented history), imposed tariffs on Indian cloth, and shipped raw cotton to Manchester to be manufactured into garments that were then sold back to Indians. India went from being the world’s largest textile exporter to an importer of British cloth within a generation. The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed an estimated 3 million people. Churchill diverted food supplies from Bengal to already well-supplied British troops and European stockpiles. When informed of the famine, his response, on the record, was to ask why Gandhi had not died yet. This is the “infrastructure investor” Musk is defending. India contributed 2.5 million soldiers to fight in two World Wars on Britain’s behalf. So let us summarize the colonial “investment” in India. They took a 23% global economy and left it at 4%. They destroyed the world’s finest textile industry. They built railways with Indian money, for Indian resources, generating British profits. They engineered famines that killed millions. They drained an estimated $45 trillion in today’s value over 200 years. That’s some unprofitable adventure.

Latur, Maharashtra Police ! Are we waiting for people to die at the hands of such Police Officers ? When are we going to say enough is enough ? The role of the traffic police is to regulate traffic, enforce road safety, and issue penalties (challans) for violations. They do not have the authority to inflict physical punishment on citizens. Any act of physical violence by an officer is a violation of the law and human rights. Right to Due Process: If a rider fails to stop, the legal recourse for the police is to note the vehicle's registration number, track the owner, and issue a challan or summon the individual to court.

Breakaway #TMC faction joining the NDA is morally a bankrupt move. But this doesn't make Mamata Banerjee a victim. It is just her karma payback for practicing haughty authoritarianism at the top and franchise politics at the grassroots. But the elephant in the room is a washing machine taller than that Sardar Patel statue. We are now officially behaving like a tinpot African state. Vishwaguru has gone to buy snake oil.
