@AsYouNotWish After they frame the narrative,...we release Durandhar 3 worldwide.

Something deeper than routine image management appears to be unfolding in Pakistan. As per multiple Pakistani sources familiar with elite thinking in Islamabad, a calibrated image-transition project is underway to gradually reposition Field Marshal Asim Munir in the global imagination: not as the archetypal Islamist general, the ‘Hafiz-e-Quran’ soldier associated with ideological rigidity, but as a stable, pragmatic and internationally acceptable power centre. Once you begin looking at recent developments through that lens, scattered events start appearing less random. After years of suppression, Basant has quietly reappeared in Pakistani public discourse. Christmas festivities last year were unusually visible across parts of Pakistan, complete with state-backed messaging around harmony and coexistence. Senior political and military leaders publicly engaged Christian delegations; churches and minority celebrations suddenly became part of official optics. There has also been a visible attempt to revive conversations around Pakistan’s pre-Partition civilisational identity, including selective emphasis on Hindu roots, older place names and layered cultural inheritance. Make no mistake, none of this is accidental. Pakistan’s power structure understands that its long record on minorities, sectarian violence and institutional intolerance increasingly carries geopolitical costs in a world where optics, narratives and global legitimacy matter as much as military capability. The concern in Islamabad, according to these sources, is that Pakistan’s ‘communal state’ image has started becoming a strategic liability internationally, especially as the country seeks continued Western investment, Gulf confidence and diplomatic space amid prolonged economic fragility. This is why many Pakistani insiders increasingly describe the current phase not as reform, but as narrative restructuring. What makes the story even more interesting is the suggestion that the project extends beyond personality management into symbolic civilisational repositioning: selective rediscovery of pre-Partition heritage, softer cultural messaging and curated outreach designed to project Pakistan as a plural, historically layered society rather than an exclusively ideological Islamic republic. There are also whispers in Pakistani circles, impossible to independently verify but persistent enough to note, that sections of an Indian ecosystem are also being informally engaged for perception management and lobbying. The logic is pretty straightforward. No image reset for Pakistan can fully succeed globally if India continues framing and exposing it as a permanent exporter of religious extremism. None of this necessarily signals ideological transformation inside Pakistan, though. Pakistan has also selectively tightened pressure on Islamist groups that have started becoming liabilities to the state itself, particularly outfits such as Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan, whose aggressive blasphemy campaigns and street radicalism project precisely the kind of religious intolerance Islamabad now seeks to soften internationally. Crackdowns against such groups help create the impression of a state confronting extremism and restoring moderation. But the distinction remains important. The groups facing pressure today are largely those seen as destabilising Pakistan internally or damaging its global image. Meanwhile, anti-India jihadist infrastructure and strategically useful extremist networks continue to exist within a very different ecosystem of tolerance, ambiguity and, at times, overt patronage. In that sense, what is unfolding appears less like deradicalisation and more like controlled reputational management. The real story, therefore, may not be whether Asim Munir has changed, but whether Pakistan’s establishment has concluded that the world now needs to see him differently.

@AbelAmos @svembu I took the Vande Bharat from Mumbai to Pune some time and it was the best experience ever.

@svembu Ull be lucky if mumbai pune train reaches in 4hrs. Forget mumbai che

"He [Ashwini Vaishnaw] stated that the last financial year was the safest in the 150-year history of Indian Railways, as accidents had been reduced by 90 per cent" We don't appreciate this kind of unsexy progress enough. As a frequent night train traveller, thank you Ashwini Vaishnaw-ji 🙏 I agree with him that most of our flying should be replaced with high speed trains. India is the ideal geography for trains, both high speed trains and local trains. We can travel Delhi-Mumbai or Chennai-Mumbai in 4-5 hours (Beijing-Shanghai is about the same distance). Now let me come to local city/suburb/exurb train networks. Japan's local train networks are a marvel of both engineering and business planning. Japan has real estate companies that run private local train networks, connecting various suburbs/exurbs. They combine train stations with shopping malls, hospitals and the like. In India, a lot of idle capital locked up in semi-urban or urban real estate can be used to finance the build up by private companies. Japan presents a very interesting model. Now my personal passion: we must build trains to every panchayat in India (250,000 station network!). Building the network will massively stimulate the economy and create rural jobs. Once the infrastructure is done, it will attract higher value economic activity. It will set off a 10-15 year economic boom!

One mother forbade medicines to the dying, converted them, then laughed at the death count; the other mother has provided free treatment to 5.9 million, built 13 million sqft, 95 OT, 101 speciality, 4050 bed hospitals employing 1540 doctors. The first mother got the Nobel Prize.

@ShashiTharoor I guess that is why kerala is spiraling towards the bottom. In the realm of infrastructure, power and water it barely beats sub saharan countries.

One #KeralaStory from the recent election results that communalists should note: a Muslim majority constituency, Thavanur, elected a Christian, VS Joy; a Hindu majority constituency, Kalamassery, elected a Muslim. VE Abdul Gafoor; and a Christian majority constituency, Kochi, elected a Muslim, Muhammed Shiyas. Despite some influence from the national trends in favour of identity politics, Kerala remains a model of communal harmony, a state where people see human beings first and caste or religion later @incindia @inckerala

@PSLlufc @CivitasSameer Doesn't care about foriegn kings, but has a profile picture of some foreigner.. 😂

@CivitasSameer Sameer we dont care about foreign Kings that doesnt mean we will stop you . You can even use Napolean Bonaprte in your saffron flag . We dont care

I am a Kannadiga Hindu. I respect Ch. Shivaji Maharaj, of Maharashtra. I respect Raja Marthanda Varma of Kerala. I respect the Cholas of Tamil Nadu. I respect Raja Hemachandra Vikramaditya of Rajasthan. I respect Rana Pratap of Mewar. I respect Raja Lalitaditya Muktapida of Kashmir. I respect Lachit Borphukan of Assam. I respect Bappa Rawal of Rajasthan. I respect Rani Naikidevi of Gujurat I respect Maharaja Ranjit Singh of ancient Punjab. I respect Krishnadevaraya of Karnataka. I respect Rani abbakka, Sangolli Rayanna of Karnataka. I respect the Kakatiyas of Andhra Pradesh. This list is not finite, and I know I have missed many important names. But the point is, I respect the countless warriors, from every single part of our Bharatavarsha, who have given their lives and spirit for the defence and growth of our shared Hindu civilisation. And every Hindu must do so if they value our culture.

I usually let this pass, but this time it felt necessary to address it. This reaction is exactly what Macaulay intended in his Minute on Indian Education (1835). He wanted to create a class of people who were Indian in blood & colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, & in intellect. When someone mocks the term Vishwakarma but celebrates Steve Jobs as a visionary, they have been programmed to believe that innovation is a Western monopoly. They are not mocking me/you; they are mocking a version of India they were taught to be ashamed of. They are victims of an education system that replaced the Gurukul (which produced architects & scientists) with a Clerk-Factory (which produced employees). Why is it that when Elon Musk talks about 1st Principles Thinking, it is genius, but when we talk about Vedic Logic, it is "baba-talk"? This is Cultural Gaslighting. For 200 yrs, Indian knowledge was labeled superstition to justify colonial rule. Today, the West is patenting Turmeric (Haldi), studying Yoga for neuroplasticity, & using Sanskrit-based logic for AI while the Macaulayized Indian is still stuck in the 1990s mindset that anything Desi is unscientific. The troll is likely using a Zero in their computer code & Place Value in their bank account.. both of which are the Ancient Wisdom they claim is a scam.

@thekaipullai Those were the days of "chalta hain" attitude. Silent majority recently grew a spine.

Sometimes I wonder, have we as a society become very touchy nowadays, and anything people say is usually misrepresented and then in most cases, cancelled. We have lost the ability to be tolerant. So much so, that things that most of us loved in the 90s and 2000s, will be cancelled today. Let's take the Song "Chaand Tare, Tod laun" from the movie Yes Boss. When it came out, it was universally loved and praised. I have not met a single person, who hasn't liked that song. But had it come out today, people involved in it would have been cancelled brutally. For example the song goes, "I want to be the biggest person in the world, I want diamonds, I want a Golden Palace and I want power" Some people would have cancelled the song by saying it encourages materialism, is soulless, doesn't respect the ethos of the Indian society, is autocratic and non democratic because the protagonist wants to be a dictator with all the money and power in the world" Someone else would have picked on the line "I want all beauties to lose their hearts over me (Haseenaien bhi dil ho khoti"). They would have called it patriarchal, masochist, non inclusive, encourages unhealthy beauty standards and portrays women as materialistic. And finally one more group would have brought up the "Dil ka yeh kamal khile" line and would have called SRK a political right winger, a fascist enabler, a Nazi backer and would have accused him of subtly campaigning for a particular political party. I don't think anybody would have enjoyed that song had it come today.

@krishashok This is a stupid post to make people eat something coming out of an animal when she ovulates... Just by claiming it as vegetarian. Shame on you.

India has a strange blind spot when it comes to eggs. For starters, we have, against all common sense, declared it non-veg, which automatically comes attached with moral baggage, and then on top of that, even in families that eat meat, the idiotic idea that eggs are “heating” (taseer) reduces its daily/weekly consumption.

@RajivMessage Now suddenly Rajivji spouts Gandhi logic... We should not waste time debating with the snakes in the Ganga.

This is terrible if true. I have known Madhu for many decades and though I don’t agree with her on many issues, freedom of speech must be protected. The authorities should be able to handle criticism and demand evidence rather than criminalize dissent. Take her on in public debates and expose her if she is wrong. But muzzling critics will backfire.

@Ashish86475106 @SanjeevSanskrit Can we do some things ourselves, instead of relying on the Govt for everything. End of the day it is your own dharma.

@SanjeevSanskrit But Sir BJP Governments of Maharashtra , Rajasthan and MP have abandoned Hindus.

I am happy to see that entire Hindutva community united against Corporate Jihad. This proves that all this BJP IT Cell vs GC warrior or BJP vs anti-Urduwood battles are internal Sagar Manthan. Against predators, we are one pariwar. 🔥 Hence, let Sagar Manthan continue in full flow. Something good will come out.

@kingtaluka @ThamizhTharmar Btw... as far as I know, kerala does not harp on malayalam.

@ThamizhTharmar One question for you When people from the North move to southern states, suddenly every state asserts its linguistic identity—Tamil Nadu insists on Tamil, Karnataka on Kannada, Kerala on Malayalam. Unity seems absent in those moments.

Hey North Indian brothers 👋 Genuine question from a South Indian: What's your honest opinion on the upcoming Delimitation exercise? Do you think seats in Lok Sabha should be purely based on current population (so North gains a lot more seats)? Or should other factors like GDP contribution, population control success, and economic performance also be considered so South doesn't lose relative influence? Curious to hear your thoughts – no agenda, just want to understand the perspective from your side. Let's discuss respectfully 🔥 #Delimitation #NorthSouthIndia #IndianUnity

Riddle Time ⏰ Difficulty - Medium 😬

@LalitAditya1212 Shivaji is a hindu icon. Please read history.

I am not a fan of the BJP or even the way Hindutva is being popularised, but the growing Hindutva wave in Kerala, though it is extremely miniscule, makes me quite happy. The only change I want is there is no need to copy Marathi icons (like Shivaji) or North Indian rituals (like Kumbh Mela). The focus should be on the preservation of the local Hindu culture.

@mosquitobatman Siddhartha means One who has achieved the purpose in life. In samskritam... सिद्धार्थ: -> सिद्धः अर्थो यस्मात् |

It'd actually surprise many people Buddha's name was Siddhartha Not Xong Jingxi Or Tanaka Hirohito

Imagine a civilization of centuries ago. A civilization without bricks, cement, aluminium, iron, or glazed tiles. There were no milk processing factories, no Mother Dairy or Amul. Humans lived in groups, protecting themselves from predators and the forces of nature. They needed to build homes using mud and grass. People discovered that the dung of a gentle animal acted as a natural binding agent, helping them construct sturdy homes. It kept houses cool in summer, warm in winter, provided a smooth finish underfoot, and even had antiseptic properties. This gentle animal never refused to share its milk with the families that cared for it. It gave its nourishment selflessly. Humans survived by cooking food using fuel made from its dung. Even cooking meals on chulhas made with mud and dung of this animal. They built homes with it, and their children grew strong and healthy from its milk. That animal came to be revered as Maa, or Mata, Mother, because entire civilizations survived, thrived, and flourished because of Gau Mata. Then came modernity and industrialization & internet. Gau Mata was no longer seen as essential. She was neglected, ignored, abused, and eventually consumed as outsiders entered the land. Those who continued to worship her were ridiculed by people whose own generations had survived on her milk and her contributions. They loved their pets, dogs, cats, bakris, and never consumed them. But they ate Gau mata, the one animal who was responsible for the existence and survival of their species. Man is the most selfish and cruel creature on this earth.

@Fintech03 Since @SaketGokhale is aligned with the Flat Earth folks, we really can't fault his post.

People have already pointed out how Greenwich was chosen in 1884, Ujjain was the Zero Meridian"(Madhyarekha) of the world in Indian astronomy (Surya Siddhanta). Since the claim here is Parallel lines never meet. Let me focus on that :)) Parallel lines only never meet on a flat, infinite 2D plane (Euclidean geometry), On a sphere (like Earth, in spherical geometry), things are different: There are no true parallel lines in the strict sense, all straight lines are great circles, which are the shortest paths on the sphere, like lines of longitude/the equator. Any 2 great circles always intersect at two antipodal points (all lines of longitude meet at the North & South Poles). However, the claim parallel lines never meet stay valid if we consider earth as a flat surface.
