Welcome to 2026 where everyone including Presidents, foreign ministers and field marshals of warring and negotiating countries gamble in the Options markets! Why? Because these Options markets are bigger than their combined National GDPs.

Hausla-Eendhan-Badla! Hausla = Ordinary Hindu Nationalists who never lost faith Eendhan = The RSS' ability to keep building grassroots strength Badla = Decolonisation of the Indian mind through Congress-mukt-Bharat That is how @narendramodi completes 8931 days in power!

@sunder_ They are fundamentally limited to static predictions, so will hit math limitations (at some point) soon. The alternate path focusses on causal models and brings dynamic efficiency into the picture.

@5Forty3 It doesn't make any sense! Is there any literature with some tangible results in this direction? Transformers haven't yet hit a wall - which is evident with each subsequent model release. They are throwing compute at it because the `scaling law` of transformers still holds!

Two hidden trends that matter in the Ai world right now; Continual Learning and World Models This is what India has to focus on. The fact is that GPTs and their products, the LLMs and their core architectural constraints, the Transformers are all at a dead end. The LLM world doesn't know how to impact the real economy or productivity on this path. They are throwing the sink at it and hoping some magic will come out of it just by deploying the sheer compute at scale that costs billions and trillions of dollars (this was the classic mistake of early dotcom era bust too). Yet they are nowhere near solving the 2 basic problems of "bad generalisations" and even worse "sample efficiency". In fact, if anything they may hit mathematical limitations of RL soon. India needs to bet on an alternate path, an alternate destiny for mankind. Fund a new architecture. Liberate intelligence from the abstract layer of Human language constraints and focus on narrow intelligence dominance in specific domains with continual learning. No preformed biases, no pre-trained models, no frozen training weights. This is a revolution that can differentiate Bharat from US and China, it can give us that edge that nobody currently has, in less than 2 years! But current data-centre deployment in India is minuscule compared to the world at around 1.5GW (US has 54GW and China 32GW). If India can strategically plan to deploy the next 2-5GW of hyperscale datacenter for CL and world models with more efficiency rather than just throwing all the labelled datasets at it and instead deriving intelligence beyond mere human language understanding, then there is a potential path to achieve massive intelligence gains in specific domains at a fraction of the cost and compute. Interestingly, this aligns with our ancient wisdom of the Sindhu-Saraswati civilisation. Most of us think of Sanskrit as a language born to communicate ideas amongst us humans (like all other languages), but what if you think of Sanskrit as a layer of intelligence beyond the mundane human existence? in fact, it was probably a layer specifically designed to capture intelligence from a higher level. Vedas were then downstream to that intelligence capture and so very complex in nature that most parts have either been lost or remain only partially deciphered till date. Can Bharat achieve such a paradigm today? Let the world focus all their energies on the current backprop-Transformer-GPT-RL-LLM models and throw the sink of data and compute to arrive at a magical intelligence layer, maybe they will achieve success. But if they won’t (which is more likely), we will be in a commanding position to walk on an alternate path in 2 years. As a nation we need to institutionally and strategically focus on deploying compute at scale towards CL and world models to achieve narrow AGI in specific domains. Can we, for once, find the courage to do something different and lead the world rather than be led?

You will not find better analysis than this of Sunny paji & how #Bollywood has not used his Stardom . A must read for #SunnyDeol fans & Bollywood lovers .

Our collective civilizational memory understands how a society goes into chaos without a patriarch to guide and patriotism to unite. Liberalism is a disease that spreads in a society without moral ethos or love for motherland. The goal of liberalism is to de-anchor you and to create rootless individuals

As an analyst of mass behavioral patterns, the Sunny Deol phenomenon has always been a mystery to me. He is arguably the greatest mass star ever, probably bigger than Amitabh Bachchan himself! But we know nothing about it because nothing has ever been analysed. No "Angry Young Man" hypothesis, no impact on societal state analysed, no pop social psychology. Nothing. He gave some of the biggest blockbusters of 90s, but all literature is about Khans. He gave Gadar, the greatest movie in mass memory since Sholay, but we have not even a paper written about why India reacted the way it did to partition wounds after 50+ years. Today he is once again delivering one of the greatest blockbusters on India-Pak war when he is nearly 70 and we will see zero sociological analysis of this too. in a way I understand this. A society willingly shuts up certain stories even if they are staring them in the face just to keep the narratives intact. The story of the rise of Khans in the 90s is selected, Sunny Deol's patriotic movies are discarded. And we will always be unaware of why Sunny had such a massive appeal.

Energy = compute = intelligence. This is the new reality. US, the hegemon has now secured Venezuela and working towards securing Iran. What will India do when we realise that our labour arbitrage is gone in just a few years and we neither have the compute nor the energy to compete? The only window we have is probably a year when we have to simply go 💯 nuclear without caring about anybody in the world and build nationwide compute to pair with it. Build an intelligence layer so big that the labour arbitrage becomes irrelevant anyways. Will India do this? Highly unlikely. A nation run on bureaucracy will never understand the coming revolution of 4th turning until it's too late.

The way BJP has regrouped and covered the gaps after 2024 underperformance is a legend that will be taught in history books. The sheer organisational strength required for this feat is hugely under appreciated. This is also Hindu renaissance at its best in a millennium. We may have finally overcome our biggest weakness of becoming fragile at the smallest of setbacks. The way RSS has matured to find opportunities in defeats and setbacks is the greatest redeeming story of our times. The 2004 to 2014 decade of darkness has made us infinitely stronger!

The Hindu regret vote keeps giving fruits to the BJP. Wait till UP elections, you will see the full impact of that remorse where it had hit the hardest!

RJD-Congress didn't exist in Bihar for the last 30 days. Every pollster/analyst got it wrong. It was a wave election in the end

Looks unlikely that Bihar is a close contest.

FPV drones being deployed by Afghanistan to hit Pakistan deep inside... Guess where these drones were manufactured? We can play the geopolitical chess game too ;)

Поговорил со своим другом Президентом Путиным и выразил теплые поздравления по случаю его дня рождения, а также пожелания крепкого здоровья и долголетия. Глубоко признателен за его личную приверженность укреплению индийско-российского партнёрства в грядущих годах. @KremlinRussia_E

if US can impose whatever it wishes on India, why can't India finally act in her national interest and nationalise all the internet data produced by Indians within the confines of Indian geography? Why continue to give US tech giants a free run worth trillions of dollars?

I am DISGUSTED. A hardworking Indian American was BEHEADED in front of his wife and child. WHY didn’t this get even 5 MINS of prime-time coverage? If this isn’t a national story, what is? This man’s HEAD was cut off — and the killer casually PICKED IT UP. How is this not front-page news everywhere? Lately, I’ve seen an alarming rise in hate toward Indians and Indian Americans online. Are we just going to ignore it until it escalates again?

When 3 of the world's 4 biggest economies join hands, the world quickly realises that the US and the 'liberal' west is nothing but a glorified banker to the rest of us, we can do a lot better without them!

Always a delight to meet President Putin!

Had a fruitful meeting with President Xi Jinping in Tianjin on the sidelines of the SCO Summit. We reviewed the positive momentum in India-China relations since our last meeting in Kazan. We agreed on the importance of maintaining peace and tranquility in border areas and reaffirmed our commitment to cooperation based on mutual respect, mutual interest and mutual sensitivity.
