This is one of the biggest engineering wins India has had in years, and it deserves so much appreciation! What got tested today isn't just any missile. It's a missile that can carry many nuclear warheads at once, with each warhead going to a different target hundreds of kilometres apart. On top of that, the warhead doesn't fall in a normal arc that enemy defence systems can predict. It glides at over five times the speed of sound and changes direction mid-flight, which makes it almost impossible to shoot down with anything any country has today. Putting all three things into one missile, MIRV, hypersonic glide, and 5,000 plus km range, is incredibly hard. The only countries in the world that have done this are the US, Russia, China, and now India. That's it. The story behind it is the part that should make every Indian proud. This whole journey started in 1983 under Dr APJ Abdul Kalam at DRDO. Five missiles to be built, all indigenous, with names you'll recognise. Prithvi, Agni, Trishul, Nag, Akash. The West had blocked us from buying any of this technology. We had to figure out everything ourselves. The materials. The on-board computers. The fuel. The guidance. The warhead miniaturisation. Every part of this is a separate hard problem, and DRDO labs along with ISRO, BARC and dozens of partners cracked them one by one over four decades. Forty-three years from a small missile programme to a missile that puts India in the same club as the US, Russia and China. Done under sanctions, on a fraction of their budgets, with no foreign help. There aren't many engineering stories in the world that look like this. :) The bigger point is what this means for India's safety. With this missile, no enemy can wipe out India's nuclear weapons in a surprise attack, because the launchers can move anywhere, each missile carries many warheads, and the warheads can't be shot down. Hats off to DRDO, the Strategic Forces Command, and every engineer who has spent decades quietly building this capability for India. And a quiet thank you to Dr Kalam, whose dream in 1983 has finally taken this shape. 🇮🇳

Watch: How we got a “house church” shut down in Pune What is a “house church”? People are told house churches are private prayer gatherings. But in reality, they are unauthorised congregational centres inside residential houses, where non-Christians are invited to “experience the Holy Spirit” through Pentecostal-style faith-healing, deliverance, laying of hands, exorcism and miracle-cure claims In short - A structured Pentecostal-conversion machinery that uses miracle-healing claims as the bait Their script: accept Jesus, receive the Holy Spirit, get cured of diseases, addiction, evil spirits, family distress, poverty, depression Recently, the Enforcement Directorate revealed how a single Pentecostal organisation named The Timothy Initiative channeled Rs 95 crore into India in just last 6 months for “church-planting”, mainly inside houses This is what we are up against.

Rama is the greatest of all time because he lived a life where the choices he made were always in the benefit of the greater good, duty over desire, and sacrifice over self. His legacy continues to enhance and empower humanity over time and bring the belief in the goodness of the human spirit to resolve all conflict and bring peace to the world.
