Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented. Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped. Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals. Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world. Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics." Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology. Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

Pranaam, @mmpandit sir. Sounds like a serious and scholarly attempt, though the dating seems way off.
According to this new analysis by Matteo Genini, the Mahabharata War occurred in 7937 BCE. Even if one finds it too early, it may be worthwhile to examine his astronomical arguments academia.edu/168531891/THE_A…

Congratulations to Praggnanandhaa on becoming the first Indian to win the Norway Chess tournament - one of the ultimate tests of endurance, intellect and temperament in the world of chess. To defeat the world’s absolute best on one of chess’s grandest stages is a remarkable feat. But what makes it even more special is the spirit with which Pragg plays. Fearless - Focused - Deeply Indian. @rpraggnachess, you represent the confidence of a rising, youthful India. The entire nation is incredibly proud of you, Pragg. 🇮🇳♟️

Quite extraordinary. One would have thought Putin would know better.

Media Blackout: The Islamization of Russia Is Accelerating - And Putin Is Actively Leading the Charge! Just days ago, on May 27, 2026, Eid al-Adha prayers turned major Russian cities into Islamic strongholds. Moscow’s central streets were completely shut down as hundreds of thousands of worshippers spilled out from the Cathedral Mosque onto roads, sidewalks, and public spaces because the mosques couldn’t hold the crowds. Prayer rugs covered entire city blocks. The same scenes played out across St. Petersburg, Kazan, Ufa, Chechnya and beyond. This visible takeover of public space is now impossible to miss in a country that was once the heart of Orthodox Christianity. And the signs are multiplying fast: • Halal sections are now standard in supermarkets nationwide - Russia’s halal market has hit 2.5 trillion rubles and is growing 15-20% per year, far outpacing everything else. • Sharia-compliant Islamic banking is being fast-tracked: the pilot program was extended to 2028, and the country’s first full Islamic bank is launching in 2026, with Putin’s government and Sberbank pushing it forward. • Sharia Hijabs are now officially allowed in passport photos and government ID documents. • Prayer rooms are popping up in airports, malls, universities, and public buildings while the call to prayer (adhan) echoes louder from over 8,000 mosques (exploded from just ~100 in 1991). • De facto Sharia elements are tolerated in Chechnya and parts of the Caucasus. Putin is personally fueling every step of this. He sends glowing official Eid greetings every year, repeatedly calls Islam a “great” and “integral” part of Russia’s cultural code, meets regularly with Grand Muftis, praises their “patriotism,” and has approved new state funding for Quranic madrasas. At the same time, his regime keeps borders wide open to mass migration from Muslim Central Asia — visa-free entry, fast-track citizenship, and even army recruitment bonuses. Hundreds of thousands of Tajiks, Uzbeks, and Kyrgyz pour in annually while ethnic Russian birth rates collapse. Russia’s Grand Mufti has openly predicted Muslims could reach 30% by the early 2030s. Academics see it climbing toward one-third or even half the population by mid-century. This is the exact same demographic jihad playbook hitting every country on Earth: higher birth rates, mass migration, street prayers, and growing Sharia accommodations. Europe’s no-go zones, Britain’s grooming scandals, France’s banlieues, America’s parallel societies, and Russia are simply repeating the West’s mistakes in fast-forward. Russia’s Orthodox heartland is being hollowed out. Public spaces are being conquered. And the man in charge is rolling out the red carpet. Wake up. The writing is on the wall, and it’s written in Arabic.

Did you know? During Partition in the year 1947, Muslim League mobs encircled the Golden temple of Sikhs in Amritsar. They were about to destroy the temple. It was RSS Swayamsevaks of Amritsar who fought a pitched battle with the mobs. They saved the Sikh Golden temple from destruction on March 6 1947. The Muslim League mobs marched towards Harmandir Sahib. They raised slogans like "leke rahenge Pakistan" and "let us do what Abdali did" But then, there was a surprise awaiting the jεhadi mobs. They were encircled, fiercely attacked and repelled. Muslim League had to run for their lives. The protectors were none other than RSS Swayamsevaks. The jihadis were particularly terrified of one Swayamsevak called Bijli Pehelwan. RSS stationed hundreds of Swayamsevaks around the Harmandir Sahib shrine to protect it from desecration by Mμslim League mobs. The Swayamsevaks guarded the shrine 24*7.  The Swayamsevaks were posted around the shrine for the entire year  "The contribution of RSS Swayamsevaks during Partition is no way less than that of Jawans"- Brigadier GS Singh. Amritsar, December 1947  The Muslim league mob attacked again on March 9, 1947. The Sevadars of Harmandir Sahib asked RSS for help. Durgadas Khanna, the RSS head of Amritsar, gave them assurance. RSS swayamsevaks promptly defended and repulsed the second invasion as well  Source: "The fiery saga of RSS" written by award winning journalist Manikchandra Vajpayee.

Indian babies have been sleeping with parents for centuries. Same with babies in many parts of Asia & Africa. The West forgot the basics & started separate rooms, controlled crying & all that nonsense. That was blindly followed by the "progressive" set in India. Now it seems common sense is coming back in fashion
Co-sleeping with children can help regulate the nervous system, teaching the brain to handle stress more effectively and supporting emotional resilience and secure attachment throughout life.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹. Sunlight is medicine. Not a metaphor. Literal medicine. Morning sun exposure within 60 minutes of waking sets your cortisol rhythm, anchors your circadian clock, and improves insulin sensitivity for the entire day. UVB exposure triggers vitamin D synthesis that supplements can't fully replicate. Near-infrared light from the sun directly stimulates mitochondrial function. We've lived under that sun for 1,000's & 1,000's of years. We've been indoors under fluorescent lights for about 80. And we wonder why chronic disease exploded in that same window. 10 minutes of morning sunlight costs nothing. The metabolic return is enormous. Stop optimizing everything else and not getting sufficient sun exposure.

Well said.
Always fascinating that Hindus mass migrate to USA in 60s and within 10y establish a temple in Pittsburgh reminiscing their homeland While all those European steppe "Aryans" came to India 1500y ago, wrote the Vedas and left NOT ONE reference to Europe or its native culture?

Pay tributes to Veer Savarkar on his Jayanti. He preached & followed Hindutva nationalism. 'Varam janahitam dhyeyam kevalaa na janastutihi as unalloyed (Not praise of people, public welfare alone!)' was the mantra of Savarkar's life, even as a teenager. This has a message for today’s politics of populism. He started the Abhinav Bharat Society to overthrow British rule at a time when British Raj was considered a boon. He established the Patit Pavan Mandir, a temple open to all, when orthodox Hindus opposed temple entry of the so-called lower castes. In the times of appeasement under the name of Hindu-Muslim unity, he stood for equal rights for all. Though dubbed as communalist, he did not stop fighting for Akhand Bharat. In the era of Panchsheel and non-violence as foreign & security policy of India, he advocated militarisation of the youth and upgradation of the armed forces. He predicted partition 10 years before it happened in 1947 as he knew that it will be the end result of Congress politics of Hindu-Muslim unity at any cost & complete non-violence , which he rightly thought, would be exploited by Muslim League. He did one of the biggest works of Bhasha Shudddi in modern India . How many people know that he coined now know words like Doordarshan for TV , Mahapaur for mayor , Parshad for municipal councillor, ‘Amar Rahen’ for ‘Zindabad ‘ etc. He predicted the 1962 Indo China war 8 years before it happened when he saw that Pandit Nehru’s weak strategy with China would whet China’s appetite for swallowing India’s land.

A.k.a security theatre. The GoI is just kicking the can down the road. As if our defence forces have nothing better to do. We pride ourselves on secure, EVM based elections for nearly 97 crore voters. Why can't the exams be moved online, as was announced?
🚨 HUGE! Modi Govt is seriously considering a major reform: Handing over Question papers of all important national exams (including NEET) to the Defence Forces for SAFEKEEPING🤯 A high-level meeting was held at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence to make NEET & other competitive exams completely secure and transparent. Several measures were discussed in detail to make the entire process FOOLPROOF & eliminate any possibility of irregularities or leaks in the future. This would be a landmark step to restore full credibility in India’s examination system. Defence Forces guarding exam integrity, big move coming! 🔥🇮🇳

Great example of the incompetence in the CBSE. Regional head cannot distinguish between the offline exam and the online system that they use for paper correction, re-evaluation etc. Oh, man!

Chandigarh: On CBSE's On-Screen Marking system, CBSE Regional Head, Rajesh Kumar Gupta says, "Regarding your question about the website being hacked, I completely deny it. I am rejecting this allegation outright. Because exams are being conducted offline so there are no questions of website being hacked..."

This Scientific American expropriation of Pranayama and renaming it in their own image is neither science nor respect. They have just touched the surface of Pranayama that should be aligned with all eight limbs of Yoga and the realisation of the Purusha, the Seer and Self beyond the body and mind.
Thoughts on this?

'NCERT threw us under the bus.' Academic Michel Danino speaks first to @IndianExpress after SC recalled its ban on him over a reference to corruption in judiciary in a Class 8 textbook. Measured but unsparing, Danino says he was "disappointed" with how NCERT handled the issue, though "not finally so surprised," because institutions in India often "try to save their skin." Full Q&A here: indianexpress.com/article/in… via @IndianExpress

More shameful stuff from Central Govt. educational institutions.
Everyone one of us should read this first interview of Michael Danino with @IndianExpress after the Supreme Court recent recall of ban order in the NCERT row. "So personally, I would not go back to this work. In any case, there is now no chance because NCERT immediately excluded us without even contacting or informing us. We were removed from all the committees. Still, out of a sense of honour, I formally tendered my resignation. It was, in a way, a post-dismissal resignation, you could say, but I felt it was important to do so. Every experience is a learning experience. As I said in my affidavit, my own philosophy is Nishkamakarma, and that is what guides me. I do not care for praise or condemnation. I will continue my work come what may. I am not disheartened, and I learned a great deal even through these proceedings." @RitikaChopra__ Excellent Coverage. Thank you.

What with the CBSE exam paper correction fiasco, the security problems reported with the website and app and now this, I am glad my kid isn't studying in the CBSE. Looks like a bunch of incompetent folks are running the show in CBSE right now.
In April 2026, when the CBSE announced that three languages for Class VI students shall be made compulsory and 2 of the three languages shall be native to India, I was one amongst many who welcomed this decision that allows Children to learn multiple languages from a young age, which would help them to broaden their understanding of India’s diverse literary landscape. In the very same notification released in April 2026, it was explicitly mentioned that the Third language for Class IX children studying in CBSE schools will be made compulsory only from the Academic year 2029-30, which is 3 years from now. However, on 15th May 2026, the CBSE sent a notification to all affiliated schools introducing the third compulsory language for Class IX students from this academic year, rolling back its previous commitment to make it compulsory only from the academic year 2029-30. This has come as a shock to many parents, especially those from TN, as their Children have already selected a language of choice in Class VI, and now the revised notification mandates that Class IX students learn 3 languages, 2 of which are native to India, with effect from 1st July 2026. Expecting a Class IX student to learn a new language in a short time will only pressurise children and affect their overall learning outcomes. I request the Ministry of Education to roll back this notification immediately and to stick to the previous commitment to introduce the learning of 3 languages, of which 2 shall be native Indian languages, for Class IX, from the academic year 2029-30.

A 19-year old broke into India's largest high school examination system of 2M students a year, the CBSE, and was able to view and CHANGE any students' marks. He responsibly wrote to the team 3 months ago, and it took them 3 days to fix only one of the issues. Today, they took the entire website down. This is a absolute embarrassment. The futures and lives of millions rests in the hands of the utterly incompetent. There is also no mass media reporting on the matter. This topic is close to me because not only is this the education system I went through, but 12 years ago and silently for 5yrs since, I'd written about and reported a much less severe vulnerability allowing me to scrape these results too. More than a decade later, not much has changed. This 19yo, Nisarga Adhikary, wrote a great piece outlining each vulnerability he reverse engineered: - the master password leak - the client-side 2fac / OTP validation workaround - tokenless access to the entire internal app (dashboard, evaluator details, etc) setting dummy browser values - changing any password without knowing the old one - an IDOR vuln allowing you to act as any user and edit exam marks For those interested in a beautiful study in security breaches, this is a must read (link below). If there's any light at the end of the tunnel, it's that a 19yo who never went to college can do things 99% of top engineers couldn't figure out.
