Tomorrow at 12:29pm IST, @NavamCapital portfolio company @GalaxEye will launch the world’s first satellite that combines optical + Synthetic Aperture Radar (optoSAR) sensors on a single platform - at a weight of ~190 kg, it is also the largest satellite built by a private company in India. The engineering significance is colossal. By fusing SAR with multispectral imaging in one pass, the optoSAR payload produces inherently aligned, analysis-ready imagery with roughly 3x the information of single-sensor systems. For India, this translates into special strategic capability: persistent border and maritime surveillance with no weather or night blind spots; real-time tracking of convoys, camouflage detection, and change detection; and faster military decisioning through onboard AI. This is precisely the kind of dual-use, IP-differentiated deep tech that the New India must invent rather than import. For five years, the young team at GalaxEye - @thesuyashsingh, Denil Chawda linkedin.com/in/denil-chawd…, @ThePranitMehta, @KishanHarshadT, @rakshitbhatt98 - has built with grit and persistence toward this moment. Their work demonstrates what India's engineering talent, properly empowered and backed by patient risk capital, can deliver! Tomorrow is a historic day for GalaxEye, and for space tech. Follow Mission Drishti and the launch here: galaxeye.space/mission-drisht… 🛰️ 🚀 🇮🇳

PROTECT ALL WILDLIFE@Protect_Wldlife·
Well done Greece 🇬🇷. Greece’s highest court has issued a landmark ruling: animals must be made unconscious before they are killed. This ends a long-standing exemption that allowed slaughter while animals were still fully aware. The court based its decision on animal welfare law and said the goal is to reduce suffering at the moment of death. In plain terms, animals cannot be killed while they are awake and able to feel pain. Any slaughter method that skips the step of making the animal unconscious is affected. That includes some halal and kosher practices, though not all halal methods avoid stunning. Slaughter remains legal, but the animal must not be conscious when it happens. Supporters call this a major step toward reducing cruelty and updating animal protection standards. Critics say it interferes with religious traditions and the freedom to practice them. The court chose to prioritize animal welfare, saying preventing unnecessary suffering comes first under current law. Whether people agree or not, the message is clear: if animals are killed for food, it must be done in a way that reduces pain and fear as much as possible. Many say this change is long overdue and reflects what we now understand about animal suffering.

For Abkhazia, Paganism is already the majority's "normal." Most researchers fail to grasp this, because on paper and across countless copy-pasted sources the Abkhaz appear to be roughly 60% Christian and 20% Muslim. But practically, even during Ottoman and Soviet times, it was never like that. The Abkhaz were predominantly pagan, believing in their own myths. Islam, Christianity, and even Judaism among the Abkhaz practically do not exist in any meaningful sense; instead, belief in old pagan rituals and supernatural forces is woven into cultural patterns of individual and social life, regulating people's attitudes and behaviors called as "Apsuara". To illustrate: none of my teammates knew anything about Christian practices, even though a few wore crosses or had cross in their car's mirror. The Muslims among them had no idea about Islam either. In a class I taught at Abkhaz State University, I noticed on my calendar that the next day was a significant Christian holiday. Curious whether it was an official holiday, I asked and none of the 40 students had any idea. I asked if any of them were Christians; a few raised their hands but said they weren't really into it. I then asked if there were any Muslims. One student raised his hand and politely asked me what "Bismillah" meant. I was shocked, because "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim" is one of the most core phrases in Islam, among the very first things one learns. He said he was simply curious about its meaning, because his grandmother always said "Bismillah" right before slaughtering chickens. Then, to my great surprise, I asked the whole class what their religion was, and all together, in a blissful voice, they answered: "We are Abkhaz." The Sukhum synagogue and the Abkhaz Jewish community are no different. I had known a wonderful person in Abkhazia for years, and when he heard I was going to visit Tel Aviv, he told me his brother was there too and that we should meet up. I asked what his brother was doing in Israel, and he said his brother had become an Israeli citizen ten years ago. Still not understanding, I noted that it's nearly impossible for non-Jews especially citizens of de facto states like Abkhazia to obtain Israeli citizenship. He then told me his family was Jewish, which shocked me, because they were hardcore Abkhaz in every sense. He had never mentioned it before, and he was surprised by my surprise - because for the Abkhaz, religion simply doesn't mean that much. Yet, like every other Abkhaz, even as a Jew he deeply believed in the old Abkhaz tales, mystical creatures, and mythical events. But the strangest example: during late Ottoman times, in a rural area, there was a building commonly used as both a church and a mosque, divided by a wooden wall and door. So far, fine. But the truly remarkable part? The imam and the priest were the same person. Another thing to show how Abkhaz society is hardcore secular is that, our friends that were to get married did not know each other's religion till the first Ramadan. Nobody cared, yet they knew each other's both paternal sides for their families-clans. Long story short: never take for granted the widely circulated "sources" that get copy-pasted endlessly without anyone questioning the information's current accuracy.

Uatsdin — also called Atsag Din or Assianism — is usually described as a polytheism based on the text of the Nart epic, a collection of tales about the Nart heroes, considered the ancestors of all Ossetians. 🔗 Read more: oc-media.org/how-ossetian-u…

Ten lifetimes won't be enough for your Bangla Birodhi Gujarati gang and their stooge Gyanesh Kumar to put even a dent in my DIAMOND HARBOUR MODEL. Bring everything you have got. I challenge the entire Union of India- Come to Falta. Send your strongest, send one of the godfathers from Delhi. If you have got the nerve, contest in Falta.

Being said about the murder of a woman who wanted to practice Bharatnatyam, by the way. Apparently, Natraj and his teachings mean nothing. It is also impressive how gutless these people are about not converting to religions that advocates for the baseless murders of women.

@EkThiSarabi She did the act against the wishes of her swamy just to please the village? If her husband didn’t agree, why did she go against his decision? Though the death is unfortunate but she was a traitor in the first place.

Its the birth anniversary of Satyajit Ray, and we still remember the genius for films like Charulata and the Apu Trilogy. What is less known outside Bengal is the amazing impact he had on children and young adults. Some of his finest work was in the Feluda and Professor Shonku stories he wrote and filmed, and his children's magazine Sandesh, started by his grandfather in 1913 and still around today. The stories were part travelogue, part history lesson, part science class put together in such an engaging package that even adults could enjoy them. Ray's body of children's and young adult work is a large reason for the intellectual curiosity that is so often associated with the state. Both these covers were designed by the master himself.

कुछ दिन पहले हमने अपनी विशेष इनवेस्टिगेटिव रिपोर्ट में खुलासा किया था कि कैसे मुंबई प्रेस क्लब की छत का इस्तेमाल उन लोगों को इकट्ठा करने के लिए किया गया, जिन्हें अदालत ने आपस में मिलने तक की मनाही की थी। आज उसी मामले में NIA की बड़ी कार्रवाई हुई है! पूर्व अध्यक्ष गुरबीर सिंह और अन्य के निष्कासन के तुरंत बाद, NIA ने क्लब पहुँचकर 19 जनवरी की उस रात के सारे सबूत, CCTV फुटेज, एंट्री रिकॉर्ड्स और बिल, अपने कब्ज़े में ले लिए हैं। @sharmasimran_ | @himanshi__bisht
