The name sounds British, but it is actually a purely Indian acronym. In 1952, a 55 yr old grocery store owner from Nagpur named Keshav Vishnu Pendharkar decided to shut down his shop, pack up his family of 10 children, & move to Bombay. He wanted to create a chemical-free, swadeshi alternative to the foreign cosmetic brands that were ruling post-independence India. He started his business in a tiny, cramped godown in Parel, Bombay. He named his company after his father: Vishnu Industrial Chemical Company. V-I-C-C-O. There was no British Lord or foreign laboratory. It was just a middle-aged Marathi man & his sons working out of a shed with a dream to revive ancient texts. Keshav Pendharkar’s brother-in-law held a basic degree in Ayurveda. Together, they huddled over ancient scripts & formulated a tooth-cleaning powder made from 20 rare herbs & barks (including Babool, Bakul, & Neem).They called it Vajradanti. In the 1950s, urban Indians were rapidly switching to chemical, white, sweet-tasting toothpastes imported by MNCs like Colgate. When the Pendharkers tried to sell a brown, astringent Ayurvedic powder, shopkeepers laughed them out of their stores. Keshav & his sons refused to surrender. They literally walked the streets of Bombay, going door to door to hand out samples, educating people on how chemical foam was destroying their gums, & manually building their empire 1 household at a time. In 1971, Keshav passed away, & his son, Gajanan Pendharkar, took over. Gajanan looked at the skincare market & saw it was utterly dominated by colonial-legacy snow creams like Afghan Snow, Pond's, & Nivea. All of them were stark white. Gajanan decided to launch a face cream containing Turmeric (Haldi) & Sandalwood oil. When the product launched, shopkeepers panicked. They screamed, "Baap re! If women put this on their faces, it will turn them yellow!" Nobody wanted to buy a yellow cream because the world had been conditioned to believe that beauty products had to be white. The Pendharkars weaponized the traditional Indian wedding ritual of Haldi-Chandan. They sent salesmen into the markets armed with handheld mirrors. The salesmen would manually apply the cream onto the shopkeepers' faces right then & there to prove it absorbed completely into a vanishing base, leaving a glow w/o any yellow stains. If you remember the iconic jingle: "Vicco Turmeric, Nahi Cosmetic, Vicco Turmeric Ayurvedic Cream"... you should know that those words were not just a clever marketing tagline. They were a battle cry born from a massive legal warfare. In 1975, the Central Excise Department of India dropped a bombshell on Vicco. They insisted on classifying Vicco Turmeric & Vajradanti as "Cosmetics." If classified as cosmetics, the govt could levy a crippling 105% luxury tax on the products, which would have priced Vicco completely out of the market & forced them into bankruptcy. The Pendharkars refused to pay. They argued that their products were manufactured under a formal Drug License & were Ayurvedic Medicines (Drugs), which attracted significantly lower taxes. This was not a minor dispute; it turned into a historic, grueling 25 yr legal battle. The case climbed all the way up to the Supreme Court of India. While battling global giants in the market, the family spent their resources fighting their own govt in courtrooms for ~3 decades. Finally, in the 2000s, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Vicco, legally decreeing that their products were indeed medicinal, cementing the truth of their tagline forever. How did a homegrown brand from a Parel godown become globally famous? Through sheer marketing brilliance before the internet existed. In the 1980s, South Asian immigrants abroad were obsessed with watching Bollywood movies on rented VHS video cassettes. Gajanan Pendharkar realized this & started buying ad space directly inside the video cassettes distributed globally. Long before foreign networks recognized Indian brands, families in the US, UK, & Middle East were singing along to the Vajradanti jingle before their favorite movie started. Despite controlling a multi-million dollar empire, the house had only 1 giant mega-kitchen. Every single meal was cooked in massive industrial-sized pots, & the entire family sat on the floor together to eat. Gajanan believed that if the family broke bread separately, the business would fracture into pieces. In the early decades, the sons & grandsons who worked for Vicco did not get individual corporate salaries/luxury allowances. The company took care of all household expenses centrally. If a family member needed a car/a dress/a medical trip, it was cleared by the family elders, ensuring that personal greed could never overtake the company's mission. Vicco did not survive because it was backed by British capital/Western tech. It survived because an Indian family was willing to go door to door with brown tooth powder, rub yellow cream onto skeptical faces, & spend 25 yrs in court defending the scientific validity of Ayurveda. The name might sound like a colonial legacy, but the blood inside the tube is Sampoorna Swadeshi.

In a landmark verdict in the decades-old Bhojshala dispute, the High Court has declared Dhar Bhojshala to be a temple of Goddess Vagdevi, based on the detailed findings submitted by the ASI. Key directions in the judgment: - Installation of the Saraswati idol - Full control of the Bhojshala complex to the ASI - Devotees granted the right to perform Pooja - Permission for Namaaz at the site cancelled - If separate land is sought for a mosque, the government should consider the request Given the sensitivity of the matter, authorities have tightened security across Dhar, with police and administrative officials on high alert to maintain peace and order. This verdict marks a significant development in a long-standing civilizational and legal dispute. At this moment, it is important for all stakeholders to exercise restraint, respect the judicial process, and uphold communal harmony.

Im bawling my eyes out. Elon Musk just posted this video showing the difference between himself and others in China LMFAO Please, NEVER change Elon 🤣

He skipped placements at IIT Madras for 2 consecutive days. On the third day, he took a flight back to Mangalore just to avoid being forced by his family to attend placements. His desire to build an aircraft company was so intense that it made him act irrationally in front of his family. He then started building his aircraft company from Bengaluru. When he had barely Rs 20,000 in hand, he still hired an intern, promising a stipend of Rs 7,000. On one of the days when he could not make it back to his PG on time, he spent the night at the Majestic bus stand. All of this at the age of 23! That is the story of @shreepoorna365, founder of Arctus Aerospace, a company building unmanned aerial vehicles that can fly up to 45,000 feet and capture imagery for a wide range of use cases. Hear his full story on the @mundhebanni podcast, with English subtitles for those who do not follow Kannada. 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=qiXXbr…

Remember these kids? This is them now😆

Nineteen seasons. Nineteen summers. Nineteen auctions. Nineteen fresh squads. Nineteen times people said, “maybe this year age catches up.” Nineteen times bowlers made plans. Nineteen times fans carried hope into another IPL. And through all of it, one man remained. Virat Kohli in red and gold. We have seen entire IPL eras rise and disappear in front of our eyes. Legends changed teams. Captains changed cities. Generations changed. The league itself transformed from fearless cricket into data-driven cricket into power-hitting madness. But one thing somehow stayed untouched. A man walking out for RCB with impossible expectations on his shoulders. And still delivering. Not for 2 seasons. Not for 5. Not for a purple patch. For nearly TWO DECADES. People will talk about the numbers. The thousands of runs. The hundreds. The chases. The consistency. The records. And yes, they matter. But statistics alone cannot explain what Virat Kohli has meant to this league. Because numbers do not capture loyalty. Numbers do not capture pressure. Numbers do not capture what it means to carry the hopes of one franchise for 19 straight years in the loudest cricket tournament on earth. Twelve different IPL seasons with 400+ runs. Think about that for a second. In a format designed for chaos… in a league designed to expose weakness… through injuries, form slumps, captaincy pressure, scrutiny, trolling, expectations and changing teammates… he still found a way to show up. Again. And again. And again. Tonight was not just another innings. It was another reminder. That greatness is not only about peaks. It is about returning. Every single season. Every single time people doubt. Every single time the game evolves. Every single time younger stars arrive. And still being the standard. There are players with bigger power. Players with crazier strike rates. Players with shorter bursts of brilliance. But there has never been another Virat Kohli. Because nobody has blended hunger, skill, fitness, passion, loyalty, pressure and longevity quite like this man. For RCB fans, he is not just a player anymore. He is memory. He is childhood for one generation. Adulthood for another. And inspiration for the next. Someday the IPL will continue without him. RCB will continue without him. New stars will come. New heroes will rise. But there will always be a silence when fans realize they once lived in an era where Virat Kohli opened the batting for RCB every summer. And made it feel normal. Love you @imVkohli to the moon and back.

Superb video..! Thank you Dr. Sikandar Adwani - Neurologist for sharing this solution for Free..

Why did the central government keep quiet knowing such atrocities were taking place in that state? 🥲

Took this photo while on the way from Somnath to Vadodara… On the shores of Prabhas Patan, the Somnath Temple stands tall as a radiant symbol of devotion, history and civilisational spirit. It has outlasted barbaric attacks, invasions and the passage of centuries. It is eternal. Somnath gives every Indian strength, courage and hope. Har Har Mahadev!

NEW: Students go nuts after donor announces during his commencement speech that he is paying off all of their senior year debts. Anil Kochhar and his wife decided to give the gift to all ~200 graduates in N.C. State's family. Kochhar is the son of Prakash Chand Kochhar, an immigrant from India who studied textile manufacturing in Raleigh. "My father found not just an education, but an opportunity that allowed him to build a life, support his family, and begin a legacy that continues today. And it will never stop, never," Kochhar said.

A sitting Chief Minister of West Bengal bent down and touched Yogi Adityanath ji's feet at a public rally in Bengal. Let that sink in. This isn't ceremony. This isn't choreography. This is a senior leader, in front of thousands of his own people, on his own soil, recognizing that there is something larger than politics standing in front of him. A sanyasi from Gorakhpur whose work in Uttar Pradesh has become the country's most studied governance model. Bengal saw it. UP gave it. The rest of India is learning what this kind of respect looks like. #YogiJiKiLokpriyta #YogiInBengal

Absolute Goosebumps !! This is pure gold ❤️ Take a bow @folksutra 🔥

A tribute to the courageous BJP Karyakartas! Even in the midst of celebrations at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata today on the formation of the first ever BJP Government in West Bengal, we remembered all those BJP Karyakartas who laid down their lives in the service of an ideal greater than themselves. Their sacrifice is etched forever in the journey of the Party. Their courage will remain a source of strength for all of us. @BJP4Bengal
