India and Russia will now be able to station up to 3,000 troops, along with a limited number of naval ships and aircraft, in each other’s territory under an agreement signed between New Delhi and Moscow in February 2025.

I think anyone could have predicted if they had followed the news on refinery fires in a pattern around the world. There were refinery fires in Mexico, Canada, US (two sites), Russia (two sites), Australia, Ecuador etc one after the other in just the last 20 days or so. Some DS hand with its local elements seems to be behind many is my strong hunch. I could still be wrong, but I think such a series of fires world over in oil refineries is no coincidence. One side wants to cause an oil crunch having prepared for the war with all sorts of buffers, and another wants oil to flow in plenty to arm twist the other more. A simple piece which can be fit into the pattern to see the incentives in such refinery fires. Plus I know for sure adversaries and their DS doesn't want India to benefit from refining Arab and Iran oil in plenty once the war settles. As I had said before, India is to benefit a lot by next year if everything goes as I had forecasted. They also want to hit India economically and destabilize it politically. We all know this, no matter what's your ideology, this has always been the conspiracy against India. Hit jobs on industries and refineries can serve many purposes in one. Geopolitical, economical, and political. A clear pattern I just noticed is a plethora of accounts trying to blame Modi and Govt for the fire. How come so fast, so well organized they are in this propaganda? Is GoI responsible for the fires in Texas refineries, Russian refineries, Australia refinery too? Ridiculous. Or are they all also losers as these comment psyops imply? The 0.5 front of the DS is being used to attack India by all means. Online and offline. By psyops on people and sabotage ops on the country. India still needs to be careful. Should adopt what I call a "conspiratorial preemptive defense posture." We should believe there's a conspiracy against us and the enemy uses all sorts of dirty tricks to attack us, so think in those lines and try to preempt. I know it is easy to say but very difficult to do. Yet starting with vetting the workforce in all strategic sectors may be a good beginning.

This is unique. Tiger, Cheetah & leopards are seen at the same tourism zone in Ranthambore. While a young tiger from Ranthambore was spotted in Kuno & settled down, Cheetah from Kuno NP moved in to Ranthambore.

I don't know who this lady is, but she is absolutely right. Gyms have started zumba and what not dance classes where such behaviour is rampant. Time for all girls to take a pause and think hard.

When Pakistan split from India, they had this perception that they were more martial and militaristic than us, and in a war they would defeat us easily. At least that was the Kool Aid given to the public by their leaders. Unfortunately for them, all their perceptions of superiority and awesomeness keeps getting rudely shattered repeatedly and frequently. They have been humiliated, not once, not twice but more than six times in the last 70 years. They have not managed to come close to winning one single war against their supposedly cowardly neighbors. Despite being born out of the same military womb of the British Military, inheriting the same structure and training, why does Pakistani suck so badly at war, especially against India? Because the Indian military has only one job. Fight wars and protect the country. They train for that and when time comes, they fight. And they usually win. But the Pakistani military, doesn't fight wars. I mean they don't fight only wars. Because Pakistani Military is one of those rare militaries in the world, which also runs a business. Multiple businesses in fact. In fact they run so many businesses, that they are Pakistan's largest Conglomerate and they give Tatas an inferiority complex. Don't believe me. This is what Pakistani Military's commercial operations look like. They sell Urea Fertilizer Cement Corn Flakes. Yes actual corn flakes that we eat in breakfast Butter Cheese Milk Juice LPG cylinders Then they operate a full fledged bank. Like giving loans, paying interest, tracking NPAs and collecting bad debts etc. And then there is real estate They build and sell high end houses, villas, apartments, plots. You remember seeing all those real estate ads on TV where they promise land at cheap rates at places "Close to Mumbai and Chennai" only for you to find out it is 100 kms away. In Pakistan, the military does this. That's not all. They run shipping companies, aviation services like cargo handling and aviation fuel supply. They even have warehouses where people can store goods. They even indirectly ran an airline. But just like their country, it was run into the ground in 2018. And given their proud martial status, they do some martial business as well. They provide security guards for private citizens, operate ATM Cash vans and supply CCTV cameras. And when they have some time left after running all these businesses, they do military coups and try to run the country also. All the businesses run by the Pakistani military generate an annual turnover of $20 to $30 billion dollars. It's like their main job has now become to safeguard their business interests. The business side of Pakistan military is now so huge that it has relegated their real military duty to a side show. They are now so preoccupied in running their dhanda, that they have forgotten how to fight wars. Or rather, they don't want to fight wars, because it will now actually harm their business. No wonder they always lose.

This is complete fake news. இது முற்றிலும் பொய்யான செய்தி.

Basic question: If Nida Khan is just a process associate with no involvement in the #TCSNashik scandal, why is she on the run? Fact: 78 complaints were ignored while she allegedly linked victims to predators. Fact: Nashik cops are hunting for her in Mumbra and Thane. Fact: She has already moved court for anticipatory bail. Cops have also questioned her husband. ​If you have nothing to hide, Nida, why not face the SIT? Come forward and tell the truth. Using medical grounds to avoid the law while 9 FIRs of exploitation and coercion pile up is not onnocence, it’s an escape.

This is serious. Tamil Nadu Bishops’ Council is an FCRA-registered body (Regn. No. 076040254) receiving foreign funds. Legal Rights Protection Forum has filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India regarding the alleged circulation of politically motivated pamphlets during Sunday prayers in Tamil Nadu on 19 April 2026. As per material widely seen in circulation, the pamphlets, reportedly distributed in churches, contain structured political messaging, evaluation of parties, and appeals that may influence the voting behavior of a particular religious community. The content raises serious concerns under Sections 123(3) and 123(3A) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, which prohibit appeals to voters on religious grounds and the promotion of communal divisions in connection with elections. The involvement of an FCRA-registered body receiving foreign contributions in the dissemination of such material necessitates scrutiny under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, particularly regarding the use of foreign funds for activities with political implications. An immediate inquiry, verification of authenticity, identification of responsible entities, and strict action as per law have been requested. Free and fair elections must remain free from religious mobilization and external funding influence. A copy has also been marked to Shri @KirenRijiju @RijijuOffice ji for information and necessary action.

It is shocking—and now entirely indefensible—that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and the Government of India have failed to secure the return of the eighth Indian Navy veteran, Commander Purnendu Tiwary. Hon’ble Prime Minister had publicly stated that all 8 Navy veterans had returned to India from Doha. Yet, Commander Tiwary was left behind, while his 7 peers were brought back on 12 February 2024. The explanation of “paper formalities” is no longer tenable. More than two years have passed, and the consequences of this lapse have been grave. Commander Tiwary has endured nearly four years of extreme hardship in Doha and has now been languishing in jail for almost five months. He is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) along with other serious medical conditions. His health is deteriorating rapidly. This is not a delay—it is a humanitarian failure. What is even more alarming is that the cases against him were stitched out of the very same case for which he had already been pardoned by His Highness, despite having no role in the company’s financial matters. The responsibility for finances and contractual obligations rested solely with the company owner. Yet, in a clear attempt to shift blame, CEO Khamis implicated Commander Tiwary. The Qatar High Court, in its unequivocal judgment dated 12 March 2026, rejected these allegations and declared Commander Purnendu Tiwary innocent. Despite this clear judicial finding, he continues to remain in jail. For over two years, the family waited in silence, trusting repeated assurances from MEA. That trust now stands completely shaken. It is heartbreaking—and unacceptable—that his 87-year-old mother still waits while her son remains behind. This is not merely a lapse—it reflects a serious failure of urgency and accountability in a matter involving the life, dignity, and survival of an Indian citizen and a former naval officer. Commander Tiwary’s condition is now critical. Every passing day increases the risk to his life. 🚨 Immediate and decisive intervention is required now. 🙏 An earnest appeal from his sister to the Hon'ble Prime Minister & Hon'ble EAM —please bring Commander Purnendu Tiwary back home without any further delay. His 87-year-old mother is still waiting. @PMOIndia @narendramodi @narendramodi_in @DrSJaishankar @rajnathsingh @RajnathSingh_in @AmitShah @MEAIndia @MOS_MEA @indiannavy @IndiannavyMedia @IndEmbDoha @IndianDiplomacy
