This is a major development. According to this report, DoJ’s decision came after Adani hired one of Trump’s personal lawyers, and Adani’s legal team promised prosecutors that he will invest $10 billion in the US economy and create 15,000 new jobs.

Why does so much Indian TV news sound permanently out of breath/breathless? Every debate feels like a national emergency, every headline like a battlefield dispatch. Anchors speak in rising crescendos, panels shout over one another, graphics often flash like alarm systems. The Iran war for instance is depicted on screen framed in flames and “mahayudh” screaming all over it. We are unique in this pitch of constant crescendo. It is not merely a broadcasting style. It reflects something deeper about us. Our television news evolved in the age of ratings wars, political spectacle and 24/7 competition for attention. Calmness came to be mistaken for dullness. Excitement became a business model. Nationalism, grievance, triumphalism, insecurity, outrage, aspiration, wounded pride, civilisational assertion, all coexist simultaneously. The result is a media register that sounds permanently adrenalised. But older Indian broadcasting was very different. Listen to archival Doordarshan clips from the 1970s or 80s. The tone was measured, restrained, even austere. News was delivered as information, not performance. Television producers have learned that perpetual urgency creates emotional addiction. If everything is historic, explosive, shocking, decisive, existential, viewers remain physiologically engaged. The problem, of course, is exhaustion. Nations cannot permanently exist at emotional fever pitch without consequences for public discourse. Today we often sound perpetually excited, perpetually mobilised, perpetually “on”. Perhaps television has become the mirror of a society itself in emotional overdrive: restless, aspirational, anxious, performative, seeking validation every minute. The irony is that true authority rarely needs to shout. Confidence usually speaks in a quieter voice. So the raised pitch is not just acoustics. Today the country is increasingly performing itself to itself. And yes, I know I am about to be eaten alive for saying this, on Indian television and social media alike. That is perfectly fine. But perhaps it is time we introspected a little on what we have become, and why we now seem unable simply to speak to one another in a normal tone. Much of our television news increasingly resembles coloratura without pause: high-pitched, breathless, emotionally over-ornamented, forever climbing toward some impossible crescendo. Every night, the nation seems to be singing at full volume. But societies cannot live permanently at operatic pitch. At some point, we must learn again the power of modulation, silence, restraint, and calm.

@Megatron_ron Peace through strength.Trump’s confronting Iran’s nukes & aggression after Biden weakness. Short-term pain for long-term security. America first. MAGA.

Shri Balbir Punj Ji was a prolific writer, thinker and public intellectual. He made a rich contribution to the world of media. His writings were widely read, reflecting his strong passion towards national regeneration. His Parliamentary interventions were rich in facts and theory. Shri Balbir Punj Ji worked tirelessly to strengthen the BJP, especially among students, professionals, scholars and intellectuals. He was in-charge of various states, including Gujarat. Fondly remember our interactions from those times. Pained by his passing. Condolences to his family and friends. Om Shanti.

Big Revelation by Vikram Singh, who served as former DGP during the SP government: "Atiq Ahmad had contact with the Pakistan-based terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba and ISI... Atiq had confessed to this. Even Pak made bullets & cartridges were found at his home during search."

If America attacks you, your revenge fantasy is against India! This is not strategic thinking. This is the IQ of a neighbourhood thug who gets slapped by one man and threatens the nearest bystander. And perhaps that is what years of being pampered by India’s useful-dimwit opposition ecosystem did to him. Too many drawing room conversations, too much false importance, and Abdul Basit - former High Commissioner of Pakistan to New Delhi - began imagining India would forever remain Pakistan’s easiest pressure valve. Sorry Basit but this is not the old India. If your entire doctrine still begins and ends with threatening India for problems created by Pakistan’s own paranoia, failures, and delusions, then you are not a strategist. You are just a loudmouth from a failed state with a nuclear prop. Please concentrate on Afghanistan and Balochistan, the disintegration of your failed country has already begun.

Holy shit. Waves of unauthorised drones recently flew over the U.S. Air Force’s Barksdale Air Force Base which houses nuclear-delivery B-52 strategic bomber squadrons

Some dreams are worn as uniforms. Others become something even greater. Kanishka Gaud, a 19-year-old from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, carried a dream that many only speak of — to serve the nation by joining the National Defence Academy. Her life reflected that goal in every way: disciplined, focused, academically strong, and deeply committed to fitness. But beyond all this, she carried something even more powerful — a sense of purpose. Before she could take her first step into the armed forces, tragedy struck. A road accident took away a life that was just beginning to rise. In that moment of unimaginable loss, her family made a decision that turned grief into hope. They chose to donate her organs. Through that one act of courage, Kanishka gave life to five people — and gave the gift of sight to two others who had been waiting in darkness. She may not have worn the uniform she dreamed of, but in the end, she lived its values more deeply than most ever will. Duty. Sacrifice. Service before self. Kanishka’s story is not just about loss — it’s about legacy. It reminds us that true service isn’t always seen on a battlefield; sometimes, it is found in the quiet, selfless choices that change lives forever. Even in her absence, she continues to serve. #KanishkaGaud #ServiceBeforeSelf #OrganDonationAwareness #GiftOfLife #InspiringIndia

Very interesting & potentially highly impactful...

माँ भारती के वीर सपूत, देश के प्रथम CDS, 'पद्म विभूषण' जनरल बिपिन रावत की जयंती पर विनम्र श्रद्धांजलि। राष्ट्र की सुरक्षा, सैन्य सुदृढ़ता और आत्मनिर्भर भारत की संकल्पना को साकार करने में उनका योगदान सदैव स्मरणीय रहेगा।

Pray for this martyr who laid down his life to protect our forest today🙏🙏 Vijay Shinganjude died in the line of duty due to burn injuries sustained while attempting to control forest fire in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra. My deepest prayers for the frontline green soldier.
