October shelf update 📚. #RaisonDeR #BookShelf

Rajiv congratulated the scientists on the successful test of Agni on 22 May, 1989 & reminded the nation: “We lost our independence two centuries ago because we were disunited on the home front and not vigilant on the external front. We must remember that technological backwardness also leads to subjugation. Never again will we allow our freedom to be compromised.”

Is it a dream? Am I reading history? Or, it is merely a distant memory. 8-10% annual GDP growth. A prime minister giving unscripted interview. #DrManmohanSingh

ISRO popped in Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary. #ISRO #Nehru

🤯10% 🤯

Coincidentally on this day in 1883 Karl a Marx passed away.

“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

One of those moments when helplessness grows so heavy that even pain falls silent. Congratulations to those who voted for such a visionary leadership though!

Both former Fes, Salman Khurshid and one MoS who at least maintain a facade of secularism and intellect, even if they do not truly possess either.

State of the governance & media in nutshell 🥴

“Sources” own the world. We merely live in it.

@vsirnate It was obvious from the video that it’s a deepfake. 1. The voiceover was not consistent with movement of the mouth. 2. The content was too outrageous to be true. 3. Lack of surround noise.

Also since I don’t know much about AI etc, how does anyone find out who created a deepfake?

I think this should be investigated by a cyber crime unit. It is incredibly harmful for Indian diplomacy to have someone create a deepfake of the Indian army chief and have it spread across the world on social media. I saw some reputed handles share this. All I ask is please use your logic. Do you really think in this day and age with the kind of location tech that exists, any country needs to tell another country where a naval ship is? The US sub is probably sitting there going “are we a joke to you?” I want to know where this deepfake came from and of course there are issues of consent involved. Gen Dwivedi has a case against anyone who had a role in creating this.

@vsirnate It’s from Iran international. Run by diaspora in London with funding from Saudi [250 mil acc to The Guardian]. 99.999999999999% sure it’s a fake news.

I’m seeing a lot of amplification of a news item that says that a sailor on board the IRIS Dena told his father, shortly before the torpedo hit, that the US sub had issued two warnings to it. The captain of the Dena, according to this story, did not allow the men to abandon ship. Now, I first saw this tweeted by an Iranian news handle. Now it’s being amplifying through some other handles. The thing is we still don’t know if this is an accurate story. So if you see it, look for other confirmation. I’m looking as well but so far this is the only narrative out there purporting to be from a sailor’s perspective. Let’s wait for the other survivor accounts. Hoping the Sri Lankan press will take this one up even though I suspect they will not be allowed to speak to the press.

@johnstanly Any book recommendations to better understand the west Asia, particularly in the backdrop of the onging conflict?

Happy reading 🙏🏾

@indblackpill @WhateverVishal @indblackpill there’s a real world beyond your WhatsApp university. Bhabha at one point wanted to “constitutionally” outlaw the Nuclear Weapons in India.

@WhateverVishal Lmao Dr homi bhabha is the reason we are a nuclear nation and not the gandu family

They didn't asked US for any permission to make India a Nuclear Nation

And that is why it’s very critical to revamp its NavIC system.

Political power is societal trust. - Ex PM Manmohan Singh. Seeing Surrender Modi, it seems Modi has backstabbed the societal trust.

Perhaps what unsettles me most is the sense of disbelief. For many of us, the United States was a country we admired deeply—its institutions, its culture, its ideals. To see such callousness now, such indifference to the human cost of war, is profoundly troubling. Power exercised without reflection risks becoming something colder, something stripped of the moral restraint that once gave it legitimacy.

A mobile cold storage unit valued at Rs. 2.2 million has been donated by the Galle business community to the National Hospital in Galle to assist in storing the bodies of victims recovered from the Iranian vessel incident off Sri Lanka. Hospital sources said the donation was made after authorities faced difficulties storing the large number of bodies recovered following the maritime tragedy, as the hospital’s existing mortuary capacity was insufficient. Iranian authorities are expected to repatriate the bodies to Iran.

@Shubham96Tiwary He’s a reporter pretending to be a journalist and even in that one can see through the charade so easily. Never seen his expert and weighing opinion on anything of substance. At best he’s what Julie Benda called “a clerk.”
