The Civilizational contract in the Rigveda,the starting point of Sanatan Dharma:  Rigveda is one of our oldest text,can be called as India's Bronze age text, more than 4000years old. It was formed after the battle of 10 kings,when the victorious king Sudas of Bharata Tribe, invited all the scholar, thinkers,seers and poets of the victorious as well as defeated tribes together to sit down and compile all their knowledge, information and mantras into 4 texts, which are now known as Vedas.Rigveda was one amongst those 4 texts. The first mention of the word Bharat is found here.The civilizational contract for Bharat is present in the last chant of Rigveda Hymn- 191 of Mandala 10:  Aikamatya Suktam (emphasizing importance of unity & harmony) – "समानो मन्त्रः समितिः समानी समानं मनः सह चित्तमेषाम् । समानं मन्त्रमभिमन्त्रये वः समानेन वो हविषा जुहोमि ॥ Assembled together, speak together, Let your  minds be one accord, Let all the ancient Gods take their rightful  place around the sacrificial fire. Their place is common, common the assembly, common the mind, so be your minds united,Common purpose do I lay before you,united in your resolve, may be perfect fellowship amongst you” It is also known as Aikamatya Suktam, emphasizing the importance of unity and harmony. This unique idea of assimilation as opposed to imposition, was the starting point of Bhartiya civilisation. ‘All Gods have a place around the sacrificial fire’ is our civilisational contract. The central theme is highlighting it's focus on civilisational unity and agreement and call for collaboration and working towards common goals and participate in united worship. This is the point of start of Santana dharma.

We scream about cultural pride while this lies rotting in the open. A writing system that predates what we were taught was India's first script. Zero protection. Zero funding. Zero care. Double-engine sarkar. Double-speed chest-thumping. But when it comes to actually preserving what rewrites our timeline? Silence. This petroglyph connects Indus Valley seals to Brahmi script — the missing link historians said didn't exist. It challenges the colonial claim that Indians had no writing before the Mauryan period. And it's just... lying there. Exposed. Eroding. May be another 10 years before this 3500 years old evidence gives up. Who's winning when we protect the narrative but abandon the evidence?

She is Madhavi Latha BJP leader from Hyderabad. She went to the women’s prayer room at Delhi airport. Muslim women were offering namaz there, when she started reciting “Durga Stuti.” She tried to provoke and disturb the Muslim women. What kind of behavior is this?

Ever wondered why gold is yellow? The answer is Einstein’s Special Relativity. In Gold (Atomic Number 79), the nucleus is so massive & packed with protons that the inner electrons have to orbit at incredible speeds (~58% the speed of light) just to avoid crashing into the center. At these relativistic speeds, the electrons gain mass (according to E=mc^2). This mass increase shifts the energy levels of the electron sea. Cos of this relativistic contraction, Gold's electrons become better at absorbing blue & violet light, rather than reflecting them. Since the blue is stolen by the atoms, the light that bounces back to our eye is shifted toward the yellow/red end of the spectrum.

Foreign trolls could earlier sit in London/Pakistan, farm Indian outrage, collect Indian eyeballs, and get paid off anger. Now X is shifting payouts towards local impressions , your money comes mainly from people in your own country seeing your content. That means: If you live outside India and spam anti‑India bile, Indian engagement will NOT pay you. Your hate is suddenly a charity project, not a revenue stream. To make real money, you must speak to your own society, not parasitically monetise India from afar. Indians will no longer subsidise foreign hate against India. Well done @nikitabier Let's all laugh at : @Anc_Aesthetics @WallStreetMav @CodexIndia @AsianDigest and so many more.
Abhishek@AbhishBanerj

Super! X is saying they will prioritize "local impressions" Means if you are sitting in Germany, you can't make money by trolling India 😄 You will have to make content for Germans Hope Youtube does the same thing soon 😂😂😂

What if I told you that 2000 yrs ago, Indian smiths cracked a metallurgical code that modern blast furnaces are still chasing? Pure iron melts at 1538 degrees C. Ancient bloomery furnaces usually maxed out at 1100 - 1300 degrees C. So how did they get liquid steel? The fact is, they did not melt the iron; they dissolved it. By packing the iron inside a sealed clay crucible (the Ghara) with carbon-rich organic matter (like Avaram leaves & Calotropis), they created a high-carbon environment. Adding carbon to iron acts like salt on ice, it lowers the melting point. At around 1.5 - 2% carbon, the melting point of the mixture drops significantly. The ancient Indian smiths were using plant chemistry to bring the iron’s melting point down to a temperature their charcoal could actually handle. 1 might ask why these specific leaves? Why not just wood/coal? Cassia auriculata (Avaram) & Calotropis gigantea are rich in organic compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, & hydrocarbons, along with trace minerals including manganese & silica. When these leaves decompose inside the sealed, oxygen-deprived crucible, they do not just burn. They undergo pyrolysis, releasing a complex gas phase of hydrocarbons. Recent studies suggest that the trace metals naturally present in these plants (like iron/manganese in the leaves themselves) acted as nucleation catalysts. These catalysts grabbed the carbon atoms from the decomposing leaves & spun them into microscopic tubes: Carbon Nanotubes.

There is a remarkable Physical Binary system that existed in the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) almost 4500 yrs ago: long before Leibniz developed binary notation. Archaeologists found that the standardized weights of the Harappan civilization followed a clear binary-decimal hybrid system. The smaller weights progressed in strict binary ratios: 1 : 2 : 4 : 8 : 16 : 32 : 64 times the basic unit (≈ 0.85 g). After reaching 16, the system pivoted: larger weights then used decimal multiples of the 16 unit (160, 200, 320, 640, etc.). This hybrid approach was extremely efficient for trade. The number 16 became deeply embedded in Indian metrology. It survived for 1000s of years, most famously as 16 annas = 1 rupee, a standard that remained in use until India’s decimal currency reform in 1957. This was not accidental at all. 16 is a highly composite number (highly divisible by 2, 4, & 8), making repeated halving & subdivision very practical. Harappan merchants had developed a sophisticated binary-based weighing system optimized for commerce while much of the ancient world was still using far less flexible systems. It was not true hexadecimal positional notation (like modern computing), but it was a brilliantly practical binary-decimal hybrid that gave them enormous advantage in trade & accounting....centuries before similar ideas appeared elsewhere.
Lloyd Strickland@Dr_L_Strickland

Hexadecimal wasn’t born in Silicon Valley. It was born on scraps of paper in 1679. Leibniz invented base 16 — and never published it.

The biggest colonial legacy isn’t the English language — it’s the colonial mindset: the belief that we arrived late to history and needed others to teach us everything. This wasn’t an accident. It was a long con. In 1835, Macaulay wrote: “We must at present do our best to form a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect.” (This was Macaulay’s blueprint for enforcing the Matriculation system.) And then came this colonial gem: “A single shelf of a good European library is worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia.” 1) What? 🤣 That’s not ignorance -- that’s propaganda disguised as policy. Let’s get real. The Mahabharata alone has over 100,000 verses -- that’s more than 10x the Iliad and Odyssey combined. 🫩 It’s not just longer; it’s a philosophical cosmos, not a fairy tale. 🫵🏾😹 And that’s just one epic. 🤷🏻‍♂️ We had: – the Vedas and Upanishads, exploring metaphysics and consciousness – the Ramayana and Mahabharata, epic narratives with complex dharmic debates – Ayurveda, Siddha, Tantra -- systems of holistic medicine and transformation – Sangam poetry, rich in ethics, love, war, and ecology – architecture, astronomy, linguistics, martial arts A civilizational archive, not a footnote. Knowledge systems that shaped Asia, Arabia, Greeks & Romans for millennia. They didn’t colonize us to civilize us, they did it to justify their thefts, their genocides, their guilt. How can they civilize us when they themselves were barbaric? 🤷🏻‍♂️ (Their hygiene? Didn’t show up till the 20th century.) They didn’t win real battles -- they fixed them.. They didn’t conquer people -- they corrupted kings. From Mir Jafar’s treason to the Doctrine of Lapse. From Bengal’s loot to Punjab’s betrayal. Their empire wasn’t built on bravery -- It was stitched together with betrayal. Through bribes, broken promises, divide-and-rule And by recasting flexible jatis into a rigid caste prison. #BritishEngineeredFamines #GreatBritishGenocides And when they realized they couldn’t match our memory, they tried to erase it. British surveys in the 1800s recorded over 100,000 native schools across India: long before 'modern' schools existed in much of Europe. These schools were community-funded, locally managed, inclusive, and diverse: teaching math, logic, medicine, linguistics, and metallurgy. By mid-century, they were gone. Banned. Defunded. Dismantled. - Our Gurukulas, Pathshalas -- wiped out. - Martial arts like Kalaripayattu, Silambam, and Vajramushti -- banned. - Dance and ritual arts seen as “uncivilized” -- banned or distorted. - Temple architecture and sculpture patronage -- defunded for missionaries. - Even our calendar systems, timekeeping, and indigenous legal codes -- dismantled. Entire cultural ecosystems were not just neglected -- they were criminalized. What they couldn’t understand, they called primitive. What they couldn’t steal, they tried to erase. In its place, they installed Macaulay’s “civilizing” education -- the Matriculation System: A system not designed to empower, but to condition. To manufacture clerks for the Empire. Not thinkers. Not rebels. Not sovereign minds. And we’re still living under that shadow. We read our own history like strangers. We measure our worth in someone else’s language. We treat our past as a burden, not a blueprint. Even today, we mock our sciences, dismiss our traditions, and internalize inferiority. Colonialism didn’t just loot our gold or kill our ancestors. It murdered our memory. It shattered our sense of self. The barbarians left in 1947. (@RoyalFamily & @GOVUK ) But their scars still whisper: in our syllabus, our language, our self-worth. It’s time to break the illusion not just with facts, but with fire. #Decolonize -- not just the land, but the mind. Because we didn’t arrive late to history — we built its foundations.

You should worry more about abt the damages sustained by America- 16 American jets have been shot down and several Americans have died ! Tell us more about those missiles fired at Washington DC by Iran spanning over 4500 miles which the great superpower was not able to counter and not saying a word abt..(Your decline as superpower has just begun and this is only the start 😁) Two word on the deaths of 165 innocent little school girl in Iran caused by multiple missile strikes by America directed by your "orange humanitarian"? 🙄😏 🤡

No, there is no equal to the United States and there won't be for a long time. The U.S. maintains over 30 military bases across the Middle East, projecting power and protecting its interests without apology. It is time to liberate the Iranian people from the stranglehold of tyranny. If you have the ability to free an entire nation from oppression, by all means — do it. You did it with Bangladesh. The Iranian people deserve no less. I would always urge India to do the same , put its national interests first, unapologetically, and do whatever it takes to secure them. No hesitation. No half-measures.Power talks. Nothing else. 🇺🇸🇮🇳
