Very gratifying...that local residents stood up for their Muslim neighbor...Bravo to this group in Bengaluru...& demonstrates how to resist the kind of casual hatred that is being nurtured/ A query: is the person casting such asperions a 'former army officer' ? @raviprakash_rtv

A deeply disturbing incident has come to light from Bengaluru. A former army officer and his wife allegedly called a Muslim man a “terrorist” and a “Pakistani.” However, when residents of the apartment confronted them and reminded them that this is India , where people of all religions live together with love and equality. they questioned why he was being labeled in such a manner. Following strong objections from the residents, the ex-army officer and his wife eventually apologized. This is exactly how hate should be dealt with. @BlrCityPolice @CPBlr @DgpKarnataka @siddaramaiah @CMofKarnataka

What happened to the Huge Oil and Gas discovery near Andaman and Nicobar?? What happened to the Rare earth material discoveries in many states??

@sumanthraman GenZ first time voters influenced by Vijay

As of now around, 27 lakh more people have voted in Tamil Nadu yesterday than those who did in the 2021 Assembly elections. That's an extra 4.8%. Might end up at an additional 5% turnout. That is significant. Don't know why one side is downplaying this. #TamilNaduElections2026

@ParuChirps Mostly GenZ

I get the charisma of J. Jayalalithaa or even Rajinikanth but Tamil Nadu’s obsession with Vijay Joseph is hard to comprehend.

Poor math as usual

@venugopal15 @GulteOfficial 85 and above have the privilege of voting from home. Don't know why they are not using that facility

@GulteOfficial Atleast 100 plus should have special privileges of voting from home

MOMENT OF THE DAY: Ganesa Iyer, a former Bank employee who is 106 years old, stepped out to vote with his son and grandson in Pallavaram, Tamilnadu. #TNElections2026

@RShivshankar Poor in math. Denominator has reduced due to SIR

BENGAL 5PM TURNOUT 89.9% That means more absolute number of voters have voted than they did in 2021.

@jctnmd @ndtv Election duty is getting over

@ndtv Maha-dalal was feeling sidelined and now wants some attention 😂😂😂

🔴#NewsAlert | "India could play any role, PM Modi has appealed to both sides" : Union Minister Rajnath Singh signals India's mediation in Iran war

@TheSincereDude Please give him a few days. He is in a very important activity till Apr 26.

This needs to be on every Indian’s screen. 👇 The sitting President of the United States just reposted a letter calling India a “hellhole.” India. The world’s largest democracy. A $3.5 trillion economy. A nuclear state. And our PM’s response? Silence. Remember, Rahul Gandhi said in Parliament: “If Modi had the courage of Indira Gandhi, he would stand up and call out Trump’s lies.” He doesn’t. He can’t. He won’t. That’s not foreign policy. That’s surrender with a smile.

“ ममता दीदी में लाख बुराई हो , लेकिन वोट हिंदू मुस्लिम करके नहीं माँग रही है “ मछली दिखाकर नहीं माँग रही है , झालमुड़ी दिखाकर नहीं माँग रही है ! अपने काम पर वोट माँग रही है ना की राम जी के नाम पर यही आरके अच्छे नेता की पहचान होती है ! और यही काम है एक काबिल नेता का !

Not a TMC fan but this is absolute Gold and Truth !

@drshamamohd My guess. If TMC wins and forms government and investigation finds that most of the 34 Lakh cases were genuine, ECI will countermand the election and call for re-election. What say? Currently only only 138 cases were investigated and 134 are found to be genuine.

Out of 34 lakh appeals before tribunals, only 139 are eligible to vote today in West Bengal. About the rest, nobody knows—not even the Supreme Court. In the history of India’s democracy, it has never happened that such a large number of voters are not being allowed to vote without hearing their cases. Many of them have even submitted passports as documents. Congratulations to CJI Suryakant and CEC Gyanesh Kumar.

US has 2 reusable rocket companies, frontier defence tech & and fully domestic energy to intelligence stack. China has all the raw materials, manufacturing culture & knowhow, and own drones and robotics. Yet, some folks want you to believe this is India’s century.

China is testing robot dogs and attack drones in training it’s army. Meanwhile in India the new national past time is putting tilak and tying kalava on Lenscart employees…

To save 1 litre of imported crude, India is spending 2,860 litres of groundwater. That's the single statistic missing from the entire E85 debate. E20 is done. The government's draft notification for E85 (85% ethanol, 15% petrol) is ready. Most reactions are either "great, energy independence" or "my mileage dropped." Both are shallow. Here is the actual trade India is making. The economic logic is real: India imports 85%+ of its crude. The FY25 import bill was ~$137 billion. Ethanol blending has already saved ₹1.08 lakh crore in forex and put ~₹92,000 crore in farmers' hands since inception. Every 1% of blending = ~$1 billion in annual savings. But ethanol is not a free lunch: 🔹 Ethanol has 33% less energy per litre than petrol. 🔹 US DoE data: FFVs on E85 get 15 to 27% fewer miles per gallon than on petrol. 🔹 The offset is octane. E85 rates ~105 vs petrol's 91. In purpose-built engines (turbo, high-compression, direct injection), higher octane recovers most of the energy loss. The catch. India's fleet is 90% E10-ready at best. You cannot pour E85 into a Swift. Flex-fuel vehicles need stainless fuel lines, upgraded pumps, 30% larger injectors, ethanol content sensors, and recalibrated engine maps. The hidden cost nobody is pricing: 🔸 E20 at today's consumption needs ~1,016 crore litres of ethanol annually. 🔸 At 2,860 litres of water per litre of ethanol, that is ~2.9 trillion litres of water per year. The annual water footprint of 200+ million Indians. 🔸 E85 scales this 4x+. 🔸 60% of India's ethanol now comes from maize and broken rice. India, a net corn exporter, imported 1 million tonnes of corn in 2024 because of ethanol diversion. 🔸 Retail sugar moved from ₹40 to ₹45/kg in two years partly due to cane diversion. The reframe most people miss: The ethanol programme is not an energy policy. It is an agricultural subsidy dressed as an energy policy. The forex savings are real. The farmer income transfer is real. Both are the actual goals. The mileage drop is a tolerated cost. The water and food inflation risk is the hidden tax. E85 will happen anyway. The listed winners sit in three buckets: 🔸 Sugar and distillery players with integrated ethanol capacity 🔸 Auto ancillaries making ethanol-compatible injectors, pumps, fuel lines, sensors 🔸 OEMs going flex-fuel first (Toyota, Maruti and Hyundai are already prototyping) Energy independence is not free. India is trading barrels of oil for billions of litres of water and millions of tonnes of grain. Whether it's worth it depends on which constraint matters more in 2040 — your oil bill, or your aquifer.

We have lost 12 precious years to this “गाय-गोबर” politics when the world moved forward with clean energy systems, AI infrastructure, and semiconductor capacity. These rotten oranges have pushed India back to where we were 70 years ago.

इस चुनाव में भाजपा ने है सब कुछ झोंक दिया है। इलेक्शन कमिशन पूरी तरह से भाजपा के पक्ष में उतर गई है। हज़ारों ऑब्ज़र्वर बाहर से बुलाए गए हैं। लाखों आर्म्ड पुलिस बंगाल के बाहर से बुलायी गई है। इलेक्शन कमिशन ने 90 लाख लोगों को वोटर लिस्ट से हटा दिया है।लेकिन फिर भी बंगाल के लोग बंगाल को बचाएँगे!

Biswa’s calling Pawan Khera G@ ndu is okay?

When Modi called Sunanda Pushkar “50 crore ki Girlfriend”, Sonia Gandhi a “Jersey Cow”, Renuka Chaudhary “ Surpanakha” and catcalled Mamata Banerjee with “Didi… oh, Didi” It was not an insult to all women across India?
