The Indian Holocaust- This must go viral Hitler did not come to India - Then who put 20000 Indian Army Soldiers in Gas Chambers?? The Britishers did- 1930 British Holocaust on Indians for 10 years suspected to have killed over 20000 soldiers This story won’t give you goosebumps. 🇮🇳💔 It will leave you in silence. History often speaks of wars, but stays silent about what happened behind closed doors. In the 1930s and 1940s, soldiers of the British Indian Army were taken to military testing programs linked to Porton Down. Inside controlled gas chambers in Rawalpindi, Indian Army soldiers were exposed to mustard gas. Not in battle. In experiments. They were made to stand inside sealed chambers wearing minimal clothing so the effects on skin, eyes, and lungs could be studied. What they endured was not warfare—it was observation. Hundreds were exposed. Many suffered severe burns. Many developed long-term respiratory and eye damage. Some were hospitalized for weeks. Consent was not truly informed. Within the structure of colonial military authority, refusal was not realistically possible. For years, this remained hidden from public view. Later reporting, including by The Guardian, brought fragments of this truth into light. This was not a battlefield. This was controlled human experimentation done in the name of research. And the people inside those chambers were Indian Army soldiers who had no real choice in what they were part of. Some parts of history are not meant to give chills. They are meant to leave you with silence.

It costs around 10-15 lakhs per machine. Ladli Behna budget for Maharashtra- 30,000 Crore 30,000 Cr = 300000 river-cleaning robots. We can clean so many small rivers, lakes, canals with just one state freebies budget. But freebies win votes, so this will never happen !

1/5: When the UPSC results come out each year, the All India Rank 1 immediately becomes a national hero in India. But what happens next? ThePrint tracked the careers of 20 UPSC toppers, from 2003 to 2022, to capture what happened after the fanfare subsided.

The level of dictatorship was so high that 500 people died in a single state, and no one dared to point fingers at them.

🗣️ Rahul Gandhi: “Kejriwal came in a WagonR and went straight to the parking of ‘Sheesh Mahal’.” “He spent crores on his house and undid all the good work done by Sheila Dikshit.” => PS: Congress and AAP had contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections together to defeat PM Modi.

Her name was Shehla Masood. She was 38 years old, lived in Bhopal, and ran an event management company. Then in 2009, she discovered the RTI Act. She filed over 200 RTI applications in two years. She exposed illegal construction happening in plain sight. She fought to save tigers being poached by the very forest officers meant to protect them. She took on Rio Tinto, a global mining giant sitting on 27.4 million carats of diamonds inside a protected forest in Chhattarpur. Two district collectors were transferred to make that mining happen. She filed RTIs, went to parliament, and stopped it. A month before she died, she gave an interview. She said she feared for her life but would not stop, because the nexus between politicians and babus was slowly poisoning this country. On August 16, 2011, she sat in her car outside her home, about to leave for an Anna Hazare rally. A hired gunman shot her once through the throat. The CBI said the motive was a love triangle. Four people were convicted and sentenced to life. The mining angle was never investigated. Her father told investigators that high profile people had conspired to kill his daughter. Nobody listened. She was posthumously given the SR Jindal Crusade Against Corruption Award, an honour shared with APJ Abdul Kalam. India rewarded her with a bullet, then gave her an award, then forgot her name. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

DeepSeek just dropped a 1.6 trillion parameter open-source model with a 1 million token context window. OpenAI is charging $200/month,China is giving it away for free. This changes everything.

Meanwhile in Manipur … a forgotten north eastern Indian state.
