BREAKING on @NDTV: Sonam Wangchuk breaks his fast. Minister JP Nadda by his side.

This map presents nothing but explains everything

@VasukiVibes @RakeshK32229480 @Prakhar81420407 @sanghaviharsh too small in size versus Maharashtra

@RakeshK32229480 @Prakhar81420407 I want Gujarat to be in the top two positions. @sanghaviharsh kai karo baapu

India has failed. We're growing at only 3–4% and soon Vietnam could overtake India in GDP. Just look at their export performance.

@jinder788 @bahlawat11 why will hindus not accept? after you kill them for years and then assassinate a PM are they just supposed to keep dying? there is always a limit beyond which any community retaliates and hindus have a lot of patience

@bahlawat11 And hindus didn't accept that they killed Sikhs but congress ...such self portrayal victims of this great democracy

Sikhs to a large extent were like the Germans who watched their Jews neighbour getting slaughtered by the nazis in their own Mohalla / pind / district / city The issue is Sikhs are NOT prepared to accept - They killed Hindus - they were complicit ( a lot many) in teaming with Sikh militants and forcing Hindu exodus and grabbing their lands for nothing - they were OK if the Sikh militants were able to successfully cleanse Hindus from Punjab - they were chanting - Na Hindu, Na Hindi, Na Hindustan Accept Apologise and we can then move on

@iswearthisntme @crkt_myrelgn abe gandu, this wa before punjab police unleashed terror or the terrotists and killed them like dogs! Don’t defame a decent and innocent officer for your agenda

DIG AS Atwal shot dead by Khalistani Terrorists as he stepped out of the Golden Temple complex after offering his prayers. Varinderjit Singh, an 11-year-old Sikh boy too died in the same attack. Policemen and their families were rampantly targeted by Khalistanis and no movie will show that. Because Policemen who fight Terror have no Human Rights and no AFSPA shield like Army.

@Kallol_Roy_ @ValliSubrama @ramprasad_c such subtle sarcasm can only come from an elevated leftist mind 😂😂

@OregonIndian @ValliSubrama @ramprasad_c But Modi can do in Australia what Mamata cannot do in Kolkata. So cute 😍

More than 30,000 people packed Marvel Stadium in Melbourne yesterday to see Modi. Albanese was on the same stage. Anti-immigration protesters gathered outside. The usual commentary followed: Why are these people more loyal to India than Australia? Why is a foreign leader holding political rallies on our soil? Where is the assimilation? Let us work through this with some numbers and some common sense. First, the crowds. India has 1.4 billion people. The Indian diaspora is the world's largest, at over 32 million. People of Indian origin now make up more than 5% of Australia's population. India-born Australians have just overtaken England-born Australians as the largest overseas-born group in the country. When the Prime Minister of a nation of 1.4 billion visits a country where his diaspora numbers in the hundreds of thousands, large crowds are a base rate phenomenon, not a loyalty crisis. Modi is also genuinely popular. You do not have to like his politics to acknowledge that he draws crowds that most world leaders cannot. Second, the "foreign leader holding a rally" framing. Every world leader engages with their diaspora abroad. Trump gets grand receptions in India. Obama addressed thousands in Kenya. Macron holds townhalls with French citizens overseas. Diaspora engagement is standard diplomacy. It builds people-to-people bridges, facilitates trade, and strengthens bilateral relationships. Albanese was standing right next to Modi at Marvel Stadium. He called Modi "the Boss" during the 2023 Sydney event. This is not a hostile foreign incursion. It is a jointly hosted diplomatic event that both governments wanted. Third, and this is the uncomfortable part, let us talk about assimilation. Those demanding assimilation rarely define it. What exactly do they mean? Language? Indian immigrants in Australia speak English. Rule of law? Indians in Australia have among the lowest crime rates of any immigrant group. Economic contribution? Indian Australians are disproportionately represented in medicine, engineering, IT, academia, and small business ownership. They are high-income, high-education, high-tax-paying residents. Family stability? Indian families in Australia have among the lowest divorce rates and strongest intergenerational support structures. Not being a burden on the state? Indian immigrants are net contributors to the Australian economy and social security systems. So what is left? Is it religion? Skin color? Food? Festivals? The willingness to stop being visibly Indian? That is not an assimilation argument. That is a racism argument wearing a policy hat. Full cultural integration, including interracial marriages, deeper social mixing, and the gradual blending of traditions, happens over generations. It always has. The Italians in Australia were once considered unassimilable. So were the Greeks. So were the Vietnamese. Today they are "Australian" without anyone questioning it. The Indian community is earlier in that arc. Give it time. It is not something that can be forced or demanded. It happens naturally when people live alongside each other. Finally, the economics. Australia runs a trade surplus of over $6.5 billion with India. Bilateral trade hit $24.1 billion last year. India's exports to Australia have more than doubled in four years. Since January 2026, all Indian exports enter Australia duty-free. India is the world's fastest-growing major economy. Australia is betting its economic diversification strategy on the India relationship to reduce dependence on China. In this context, protesting the Indian Prime Minister's visit is not just xenophobic. It is economically illiterate. Citizens of any country should put their country first. No one disputes that. But attending a diaspora event for the leader of your country of origin is not disloyalty. It is not an endorsement of a political party. These are not election rallies. They are cultural and diplomatic gatherings. An Indian Australian cheering Modi at Marvel Stadium and then going home to pay Australian taxes, follow Australian laws, raise Australian children, and contribute to the Australian economy is doing exactly what a good citizen does. Unlike many modern nations that were founded on a constitutional idea, India is a civilizational state. Its people carry deep cultural, linguistic, and spiritual bonds that do not dissolve at immigration counters. That is not a threat. It is an asset. A diaspora that maintains strong ties to its roots while building a life in a new country creates the "living bridge" that both Modi and Albanese described. The alternative, a diaspora that severs all connection to its origins, is poorer for everyone. The protesters outside Marvel Stadium had every right to be there. Free speech is non-negotiable. But their argument does not survive contact with the data.

@ValliSubrama @Kallol_Roy_ @ramprasad_c the joke is that MoMota cannot gather a crowd without free curry and rice even in Calcutta 😂😂

@Kallol_Roy_ @ramprasad_c You think we are talking about mamata here?

@shabanamir1 @TheSeeker268 occupation to pakistani tribes ne kiya madam! The king had already signed an instrument of accession! The Indian state has been too soft and tolerant with this “occupation” nonsense without any reciprocal softening! Chinese hote toh ab tak puri demography badal gayi hoti.

@TheSeeker268 So he landed Indian Occupation troops into Kashmir, beginning a decades-long violent Occupation. Good to know.

It's a shame no major film has been made about Biju Patnaik. He lived a life that sounds almost fictional: In 1938, he flew his entire wedding procession by aircraft to Rawalpindi for his marriage to Gyanwati Sethi (who became the first Indian woman to hold a commercial pilot’s license, and the couple later flew daring missions together.) While serving in the Royal Indian Air Force (including as head of Air Transport Command), he secretly ferried freedom fighters like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, and Aruna Asaf Ali to their hideouts. He also airdropped 'Quit India' leaflets to Indian troops while evacuating British families. The British once jailed him for transporting nationalist leaders and distributing anti-British literature but also honored him for bravery in evacuating civilians from Japanese-occupied Burma. During WWII, he flew daring missions delivering arms and supplies to Soviet forces in Stalingrad, and over the treacherous 'Hump' route to China in support of Chinese Nationalist forces against the Japanese. In July 1947, he and his wife flew a Dakota into Indonesia, landed on an improvised airstrip while evading Dutch anti-aircraft fire, rescued Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir, refuelled using abandoned Japanese fuel, and flew him safely to India via Singapore. A couple of months later, during the Pakistani invasion of Kashmir, he airlifted one of the first Indian troops into Srinagar. The same year he founded Kalinga Airlines, one of India's earliest private airlines. As Odisha CM post-1962 India-China war, he secretly visited CIA headquarters at Langley to forge a covert India-US partnership against China, which led to the Aviation Research Centre (ARC) at Charbatia, which supported U-2 recon missions over Tibet. He was also a legendary administrator and statesman, laying much of the foundation of Odisha's industrial empire (mines, ports, heavy industries etc). When he passed away, Indonesia observed 7 days of state mourning. Russia observed 1 day. He remains the only person in Indian history whose body was draped in the national flags of 3 nations - India, Indonesia, and Russia. Few public figures have left such a footprint. His extraordinary life needs to be brought to the big screen.

@Gunnster3 @NotKennyRogers by fast you mean slow 😀

@NotKennyRogers Those mail-in goals can change things fast.

Not so fast, Belgium. The city of Los Angeles still has another 29 days to count all the goals from tonight's match.

Shame on @Swiggy for treating its delivery partners this way. We placed an order from Baskin Robbins that should have arrived in 45 minutes. Instead, after 50 minutes, the delivery executive came to our doorstep without the order because the restaurant had been closed since the afternoon. He had video proof, proof that he had reached the location, and messages sent to Swiggy asking for help—but Swiggy never responded. We even called the restaurant ourselves, and they confirmed they had been closed for hours. So why was Swiggy still accepting orders? We got our refund, but that’s not the issue. Despite repeatedly telling Swiggy that the delivery executive was not at fault and had all the evidence, they still slapped him with an ₹850 penalty. To make matters worse, Swiggy customer care disconnected our call while we were trying to resolve the issue. They also kept insisting they were trying to contact the delivery executive, even though he was standing right in front of us and didnt receive a single call. This is unacceptable. A company worth billions should not be forcing hardworking delivery partners to pay for its own system failures. Stop punishing the people who keep your business running and take responsibility for your own mistakes. #Swiggy #DeliveryPartners #GigWorkers @SwiggyCares

@VishalBhargava5 @BesuraTaansane and tu rota reh! fukat ka influencer ban kar negativity failata rehta hain!

@BesuraTaansane After what you were debating 3 days back on potholes - I’d recommend that you don’t go on a grand lecture regarding “facts”

When the Missing Link of Mumbai-Pune E-Way opened - it was bumpy. Then when potholes appeared it was a logical extension to poor workmanship. And now this. We can keep blaming Rains all we want but if we don’t build infra keeping that in mind - then the blame is on us.

राष्ट्रीय अध्यक्ष तो बहुत बड़ी बात है , मैं याद हूँ की नहीं ?

@Delilah423 @feelsdesperate @HistoryBoomer it’s going to be a long wait. Leftist don’t debate facts - it’s all about intuition, feelings and opinions 😂😂

@OregonIndian @feelsdesperate @HistoryBoomer Odd since I was the one who provided facts. Sorry it bothers you that the Biden Admin deported/returned/removed/expelled so many. You might want to read all my comments in this thread wherein I discuss the issues I have with immigration law; they won't be what you assume.

To answer a few folks... Yes, I know, most people who favor immigration mean *legal* immigration. (A tiny minority of extremists on the left want open borders.) Most of those who oppose immigration, however, don't "just want legal," they want zero. And remember that a minority of extremists on the right oppose immigration because they don't want non-white people. If you offered to send 1 million Indian professionals—doctors, engineers, etc—they would say "no," because they don't want our culture changed by these non-white folks. This latter group is small in the real world but very active on Twitter. In the end, most Americans, 79%, think immigration is good for the country. Most of them want reasonable limits, but they also want to welcome immigrants.

@JulioRepublica @AfgZoroastrian You are clearly ignorant Sir! The left hates Hinduism, probably as much as Judaism and more than Christianity. The problem is that most Christians also hate hinduism and hence are blinded to the hate of the leftists

Can somebody explain why the left hates Christians, Jews and Hindus, but loves Islamists? 🤔

@Delilah423 @feelsdesperate @HistoryBoomer typical leftists loony - ran away as soon as facts entered the room 😂😂

@feelsdesperate @HistoryBoomer "Joe Biden had an open borders policy" is a big fat lie.

If we want America to flourish for another 250 years, it starts with one simple mission: raise children who love this country as much as we do. 🇺🇸

I was born in Germany, I grew up in Spain, I’ve lived in the US for 15 years, and I’ve been a US citizen for about a year. I never really understood patriotism until I became American. Usually, when people move to other countries they are expats. A German in Spain for example. When people move to America they become American. It’s the greatest country on earth and an experiment worth fighting for. Happy 4th of July. 🎆
