"Su30 n Rafale combo is tops" -@ActorMadhavan Bruhhhh

Stop whining Ma’am, you are no longer the foreign secy. You are just a common Indian citizen like the rest of us, and you will be judged SOLELY on the merit of your ideas, not on your ‘qualifications’, not on your last held job, not on your page 3 connections. This is what is known as ‘democratisation of the discourse’. As the Gen Zee says, COPE HARDER!

@babumoshoy The tiffin mothers used to pack when one had a troubled stomach.. only the sondesh is missing.

India signs surprise deal for 114 fighter jets. Delivery to begin “immediately,” with full ToT, source code, and engine rights included.

Man accused of sexually assaulting multiple women and raping kids says something completely on brand:

India is officially Naxal-free. If you grew up in the 70s and 80s in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, or large parts of central India, you know what this means. This isn't some abstract news headline. This is the end of a terror that shaped our childhoods. As a kid, I witnessed an assassination for the first time when Naxals murdered a small-time farmers' leader who didn't give in to their demands. They killed a friend who was in college. They put my uncle on their hit list. Their threat was at the doorsteps of many ordinary people. They killed Andhra's Home Minister Madhava Reddy. MLA after MLA. Police officers. Student leaders in hostel rooms. They nearly assassinated Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu in Tirupati in 2003. No one was safe. Not politicians, not police officers, not college kids, not farmers. The numbers: Naxalism killed more Indians than Islamist terrorism and Khalistani terrorism combined. Let that sink in. Naxalism (1980–2025): ~20,000+ killed. 12,000+ civilians. 3,000+ security forces. Over 30,000 violent incidents since 2000 alone. J&K Islamist insurgency (1990–2020): ~14,000 civilians + ~5,300 security forces killed. Devastating, but concentrated in one region, and episodic in rest of India. Khalistan insurgency (1980s–90s): ~21,500 killed including ~12,000 civilians. Intense but contained to roughly a decade. Naxalism wasn't episodic. It was chronic. It hit daily, across 180 districts, for nearly six decades. Yet Naxals got the most extraordinary cultural cover. Telugu cinema built an entire genre around romanticising them. They were portrayed as Robin Hoods fighting injustice. The revolutionary fighting the system. Nobody wanted to criticise them. Not filmmakers. Not intellectuals. Not the media. They destroyed schools, roads, mobile towers. They killed the very tribals they claimed to protect. They didn't fight the system. They were the system in those forests. A brutal, unaccountable one. From 180 affected districts to zero. From 2,258 violent incidents in 2009 to near zero. An 85% drop in civilian and security force deaths. This is the biggest internal security achievement in independent India's history. And it deserves to be talked about as exactly that. The Red Corridor is gone. Let's never romanticise what it was.

April fools is not part of our culture. It is a western concept. In India we have Secularism.
