@gaandfaadtits That's one way to look at Kirsten's role in the 2011 wc victory. The other way to look is that in 50 years of 50-over WC, India has won this format only twice and the South African happens to be in our camp on that rare occasion.

🚨 VIRENDER SEHWAG BELIEVES GARY KIRSTEN IS OVERRATED 🚨 - People unnecessarily hype Gary Kirsten and call him a “great coach.” Come on, he hasn’t really done anything extraordinary. - He went to England but failed to achieve anything with the team. - He coached Pakistan and couldn’t achieve anything there. With South Africa, he again just reached the 2015 World Cup semifinal and lost. - It’s not like Gary Kirsten is some legendary coach who went around winning trophies with different teams. - The reality is, the Indian team at that time was already extremely strong, that’s why they won the World Cup. - He didn’t have a major role in that victory; he was just part of the management, which is fine. - The real credit goes to the players who were on the field performing for India.

Qudrat ka Nizam moment for Pakistan! A final chance to qualify for the T20 World Cup semi-final after New Zealand fumbled at the finishing line against England.

Modi lands in Israel today. And the deals being signed tell you this visit was never about diplomacy. Israel has offered India full technology transfer for Iron Dome and Iron Beam. Not a sale. A transfer. Joint production, domestic manufacturing, integration into India’s multi-layered air defense grid. $8.6 billion in defense agreements expected to be formalized before Modi’s plane leaves Israeli airspace tomorrow. Iron Beam is the part that should stop you. A 100-kilowatt laser weapon that destroys incoming drones and rockets at $2 per shot. Two dollars. An Iron Dome interceptor costs $50,000 to $100,000 per missile. Iron Beam makes the economics of attrition warfare irrelevant. Israel has never transferred this technology to anyone. Not the United States. Not the UK. Not Germany. India is the first. Now ask yourself why Israel is handing its most advanced defensive technology to the world’s fifth-largest economy this week, of all weeks. Because Netanyahu is not selling weapons. He is buying an alliance. The “hexagon” he described publicly, a coalition against what he called radical Sunni and Shiite axes, requires India to have skin in the game. You do not give a country your most classified defense technology unless you need that country committed to your security architecture for decades. Iron Dome technology transfer makes India structurally dependent on Israeli defense integration. Maintenance, upgrades, software updates, threat library sharing, all of it creates institutional ties that outlast any single government. This is not a transaction. It is a binding commitment disguised as a procurement. And the timing is the signature. Modi is addressing the Knesset at 4:30 PM today while a 48-hour deadline expires on Iran. He is signing defense agreements while 11 F-22s sit on Israeli tarmac. He is formalizing a security partnership while Turkey plans border incursions and China sells Iran supersonic anti-ship missiles. Netanyahu is assembling his coalition before the action, not after. Every alliance signature collected before the first bomb falls becomes a diplomatic asset that cannot be retracted once the operation begins. India cannot condemn an Israeli military action 48 hours after its Prime Minister stood in the Knesset endorsing the security partnership that enables it. Modi did not travel to Israel despite the crisis. The crisis is why the invitation was sent.

Do you think this movie loaded with political messaging, would have seen the light of day, if it was released on 26th January, 2026?

Everyone is hyped about Claude… but barely anyone knows how to actually use it to replace real work. I collected 700+ mega prompts that turn Claude into a full-blown productivity engine. Comment "AI" and I’ll DM you everything.

India is building a 5th gen fighter that runs on software owned by 3 countries :) In May 2025 the US cut off EDA tools to China in one week. India has no backup plan. We spend lakhs of crores on defence but zero on making our own design tools. This is a gap nobody wants to talk about -Major Risk (Kill Switch) Look at what happened to China. Synopsys and Cadence got pulled overnight. China at least has Huawei and Empyrean trying to build domestic tools. India has nothing. We are second biggest buyer of CATIA and Siemens NX but we own zero of this tech. One export licence change and AMCA sits in a folder. France and Germany get paid twice. Once for selling us the jets and parts. Again for the software we use to design everything. India captures none of the IP value chain. We talk about Atmanirbhar in airframes and engines but the design brain runs on foreign code. That is the real dependency nobody counts - ( give PLI Creativity incentive + R&D) India has 5 positive indigenization lists covering 4666 defence items. Not one of them includes CAD software, simulation tools, or SCADA systems. The lists ban imports of hardware but say nothing about the software needed to design that hardware. Nobody in the policy room is even asking this question? In May 2025 the US cut EDA tools to China. India watched and did nothing. We are in Tier 2 of US export controls. Access is allowed but conditional. One policy shift in Washington and every chip design house in Bangalore goes dark. ISRO built PraVaHa for CFD. Nobody else has even started. France bans Zoom but keeps CATIA. That tells you what they think is strategic. India buys both from France and America. We pay for Dassault software to design jets, then pay Dassault again for Rafales. The vendor wins twice. India captures no IP value in the chain. Just the assembly work, if India not think today then should private this domain at least + give incentive + PLI

@alok_bhatt Mr Bhatt, perfectly explained that to be a journalist, you need to be subservient to the person he or she is reporting about. Unfortunately, that's how a journalist has been defined in the past few years. Someone who bends over backward to please the political class.

This man has been cunningly spreading anti BJP narrative for long but then he also gets an audience with BJP CMs and leaders. It is important that BJP leaders and ministers go by how journalists like him treat BJP, its govt and leadership and not on the basis of personal relationships. If a journalist is anti govt / leadership, he deserves no favours or audience at all.

@desimojito Sahi baat hai. Gajab ki baat yeh hai ki Delhi CM ke paas ek peon ko suspend karne ka power nahi hota. Only LG ke paas permission hai suspend karne ka...Sarkar badalte hi ke paas power aa gayee hai. Big win for aam aadmi.

Rekha Gupta ki zero tolerance policy sirf bolne ke liye nahi hai. Kapashera ka Sub-Registrar suspend. Mehrauli ka Tehsildar suspend. Deed writer ka licence cancel. Saalon tak Aam Aadmi Party corruption par sirf baat karti rahi. Delhi CM Rekha Gupta ne Aam Aadmi ke saath khade hokar action liya. Ye hota hai real governance. #RekhaGuptaAgainstCorruption

@Benarasiyaa The most pertinent point. The cops registered FIR only AFTER the attack video went viral. Tells you everything about how the law & order system. This is how the goons, the rich, the powerful manage to get away. If you don't fall in the categories, then be ready to compromise.

Update: After the video of the attack of right-wing group on the cafe went viral, Bareilly police have now registered FIR against people who disrupted the birthday party and assaulted the attendees, SP (city) Manush Pareek confirmed.

Here we go again with our Amurs…Apapang, Alang and Ahu Just when you think their journey can’t surprise you anymore, they do. As Christmas lights spread cheer, Apapang is around the City of Harare in Zimbabwe, reminding us how closely nature and cities can overlap. Alang has drifted further west into the magical Okavango Delta in Botswana and Ahu… she’s still transmitting from Xaafuun in Somalia.

Gridlock traffic from Mehrauli terminal to Qutub Minar roundabout. Cars from pubs parked illegally, no cops in sight. A menace for Mehrauli residents during weekends and festive days. @dtptraffic

Folks, There was time to discuss Govt's agenda, there was time to discuss Oppn's agenda but there was no time to discuss the People's agenda. Not even a second dedicated for pollution crisis across cities & towns in our country. Parliament is turning out to be a hangout zone.

@Iyervval Next on the ban list.

Everything except crop burning. Everything.

@rajatpTOI And the demarche issue is made public through 'sources', while China screams out from the rooftop!

China officially says it has never recognized the so-called Arunachal Pradesh illegally set up by India! And here we are happy to just issue a démarche on the matter of Chinese immigration authorities detaining an Indian woman from Arunachal Pradesh for 18 hours at Shanghai!

Hello again to all those glued to Amur Watch ! The Amur Falcons are rewriting the limits of endurance. From the forests of Manipur, three satellite-tagged travellers Apapang, Alang and Ahu have taken the world by storm. Here is the latest update from their epic journey. You will notice Apapang and Alang have crossed into Kenya... while Ahu continues to stay at the northern tip of Somalia. They are likely to stopover at Tsavo National Park in Kenya Apapang (Orange tag) The hero of the season. 6,100 km in 6 days 8 hours nonstop. A single unbroken arc across continents. Alang (Yellow tag) The youngest with incredible grit. 5,600 km in 6 days 14 hours, including a night halt in Telangana and a 3-hour breather in Maharashtra before powering towards the Arabian Sea. Ahu (Red tag) steady and strong. 5,100 km in 5 days 14 hours, with a night pause in western Bangladesh before joining the great transoceanic push. (Her distance is lower because she took a more northerly and relatively shorter route to Somalia.) Together, they embody the raw beauty of migration, precision, instinct, wind, stamina, and courage. What a season ! What a journey ! As told by @SureshWII @wii_india to @supriyasahuias #AmurFalconMigration

In 2006, then Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh had termed Naxalism as “single biggest internal security challenge ever faced by our country”. Nearly 20 years later, the govt in Centre has vowed that the country would be free of Naxalism by March 31, 2026...

He was involved in 27 deadly attacks including the 2010 Dantewada strike that killed 76 CRPF personnel, the 2013 massacre that almost wiped out Chhattisgarh’s Congress leadership and the 2017 attack that killed 27 CRPF personnel...
