@authoramish Western universities should improve on firing such dishonest distorians too

Proto-Elamite? The Pashupati seal has an elephant, a water buffalo and a rhinoceros. Ancient Elam was centred in southwestern Iran. Elephants, water buffalos and rhinoceroses are not native to ancient Elam. BTW, they are native to India. Also, the figure is seated in a Yogic posture. Is Yoga also Elamite now? Seriously? Your profile says you are a professor. I don't mean to sound rude, but your students deserve a refund. And seriously, Western universities need to improve their hiring practices.

@drishtadyumn Satvik Life is the way to go - meaningful employment for people + better health for all living things + better for the planet

i want iskcon to convert more people in America, just because I'm curious to see the outcome of what happens when you combine the faustian spirit with hindu culture and way of thinking. 🧘

@MeghUpdates Should revoke all such 99 year leases awarded in colonial era

Gymkhana Club: 600 employees 5600 elite permanent members. 27.3-acre Lutyens Delhi site worth crores. Annual rent of just ₹1,000 was paid by club to the GoI (via the Land & Development Office). Colonial era mindset with waiting period of 30yrs.

Show this to your children. They deserve to know that there once existed magical forests lit by fireflies, purple frogs that emerged with the rains, slender lorises watching silently from the night canopy, vultures circling wild skies, dugongs grazing seagrass meadows, striped hyenas walking forgotten scrublands, turtles blessing our shores, Raptors soaring high, Amur Falcons crossing oceans without rest for days, and Nilgiri Tahrs ruling mountain escarpments like a kingdom above the clouds. Perhaps we are the last generation to witness many of these wonders in the wild. The Earth is losing biodiversity at a pace never seen before and with every disappearance, something ancient, irreplaceable and deeply alive fades away forever. Biodiversity is Earth’s heartbeat. The moment it begins to fade, the planet will slowly forget how to breathe. If we want a future, we must help the Earth breathe again. We already know what to do. Let’s do it. Protect. Conserve. Cherish. Happy #BiodiversityDay @UNBiodiversity #LocalAction #KMGBF #IDB2026 #ForNature

NEET is student-friendly. Let me tell you why! Before NEET (pre-2017 full rollout), students had to appear for multiple exams. AIPMT for 15% All India Quota seats + separate state CETs (like Karnataka's KCET for medical seats) + private college tests. - This meant multiple applications, travel, fees, and stress. - NEET unified everything into one test for *all* MBBS/BDS seats nationwide (government, private, and deemed colleges). - It is also one syllabus and preparation. Based on NCERT (Classes 11-12), eliminates need to juggle varying state board patterns or multiple question styles. - NEET does *not* eliminate state protections. Karnataka still fills 85% of seats (state quota) via KEA counselling using NEET scores, applying its own reservations for SC/ST/OBC, rural, and backward classes. - The remaining 15% is All India Quota (open to all). - States retain full control over counselling, fees, and domicile rules, exactly as before, but with a fairer entrance test. - Pre-NEET, private/deemed colleges often ran their own exams or used management quotas prone to influence and high capitation fees. Actually, NEET prioritizes a transparent, merit-driven, low-burden national system over fragmented state exam

A moment of immense pride for IIT Kanpur. Heartiest congratulations to Prof. Manindra Agrawal, @Director_IITK, on being elected as a Fellow of The @royalsociety (FRS), one of the world’s most prestigious scientific honours. #IITKanpur #DirectorIITK #FRS #RoyalSociety #Science

@prasannavishy It's totally foolish to start any work without Blueline metro becoming operational. 1 lane getting blocked creates traffic jams of few kms on this stretch. I hope this is not another award contracts and collect bribes scheme

Bengaluru to commence what is likely to be its most disruptive but much-needed road infrastructure projects. The entire Outer Ring Road tech corridor stretch from Silk Board to KR Puram (India’s largest office cluster with 450+ companies and 8 lakh+ daily commuters) is set for large-scale concreting, junction redesign, drainage work, service roads, footpaths, utility ducts and corridor upgrades. Complete traffic chaos across ORR is practically guaranteed for months. But honestly, doing this now and syncing it with the final phase of Metro construction is smarter than tearing up the corridor again after Metro operations fully stabilise. The real challenge is execution. Bengaluru’s institutional capacity to coordinate mega infra projects remains painfully weak. One badly planned diversion or utility cut and the entire corridor can lock up for hours.

I have no problem with Islam. I’m just against beheading, stoning, marrying little girls, sexual slavery, taqiyya, slave trading, rape, forced conversions, jihad, burqa, attacking other religions, child abuse, women abuse, animal abuse, multiple wives, murder, Sharia, terrorism, brainwashing, intolerance, greed, anti-science, torture, illiteracy, gluttony, genital mutilation, inbreeding. Does that make me Islamophobic?

@Bengalururain With increased heat in the atmosphere, climate events become less predictable - I'm sure you know that. BLRs elevation effect is getting offset by the expanding heat trapping concrete jungle

I am repeating this: Bengaluru will receive rainfall sometime between 18 and 20 May. If this doesn't happen, you will not see me again on Twitter. I am serious about it, because I will have to review and question all my understanding so far.

🎥With Ishwar’s Grace,I feel blessed to present CHAPTER-2 : ‘Fibonacci Speaks’. You will feel immensely proud ❗️ Just one hope- May the Next generation become aware of India’s immense contribution to the World of Maths🍿1/3

@VishalBhargava5 Absolutely. Add generous maternity and paternity leaves, and health benefits. Otherwise you are only aiding demography change.

DINK’s are doing it wrong. Andhra Pradesh is now doing it wrong. Hope other states don’t follow. The incentive should be in the form of tax benefits - like Indonesia does it. This will encourage our best earning population to have more children.

You took our 40,000 temples We requested you to just give us 3 temples back, and we'd forget rest of 39,997 temples You said you would not give a single temple back It's okay, deal is over now😊 Now we will take back all 40,000 temples by constitutional ways Adinath is next

6 years since version 1 of my Indus script decipherment paper. What do we have so far? 🧵

Turning of Time Somnath Today Ghazni Today

New ECMWF data shows near a 100 percent chance of a super El Niño by October. The central equatorial Pacific is forecast to surge 2.7˚C above average by then — approaching record levels — and this major climate event will still be intensifying 🧵

🇮🇳 “Ek desh mein do Vidhan, do Pradhan aur do Nishan nahi chalenge”(One country cannot have two constitutions, two prime ministers, and two flags.)- Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee. He was a brilliant scholar, educationist, barrister, and fearless nationalist who dedicated his life to the complete unity and integrity of India. 🇮🇳 Born in Calcutta into a distinguished Bengali family, his father Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee was a legendary judge, mathematician, and Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University. Shyama Prasad inherited brilliance and patriotism. He earned multiple degrees from Calcutta University and was called to the Bar from Lincoln’s Inn, London, in 1926. At the young age of 33, he became the youngest Vice-Chancellor of Calcutta University (1934–1938), where he introduced far-reaching reforms: agricultural education, teacher training, military training for students, the Asutosh Museum of Indian Art, and strong emphasis on Indian culture and Asian studies. He later served as President of the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha (1943–1946) and played a crucial role in Bengal politics during the turbulent years of the 1940s. 🇮🇳 In Independent India After Partition and Independence, Dr. Mookerjee joined Jawaharlal Nehru’s first Cabinet as India’s first Minister for Industry and Supply (1947–1950). He laid the foundation of modern Indian industry through the Industrial Policy Resolution of 1948, promoted self-reliance, small-scale industries, and key public sector projects including Chittaranjan Locomotive Works, Sindri Fertilizer Factory, and Hindustan Aircraft Limited.He resigned in April 1950 on principle, protesting the Nehru-Liaquat Pact, which he believed failed to protect Hindus and other minorities facing persecution in East Pakistan. 🇮🇳 On 21 October 1951, Dr. Mookerjee founded the Bharatiya Jana Sangh in Delhi (the ideological predecessor of today’s BJP) along with RSS leaders. He became its first President. The party stood for cultural nationalism, economic self-reliance, and uncompromising national unity.Historic Crusade for Kashmir’s Full Integration 🇮🇳 Dr. Mookerjee is immortalized for his relentless opposition to Article 370 and the special status granted to Jammu & Kashmir. He launched a powerful movement with the historic slogan:“Ek desh mein do Vidhan, do Pradhan aur do Nishan nahi chalenge.” He demanded that Kashmir be fully integrated with India like any other state — one Constitution, one flag, one head of state. 🇮🇳 In May 1953, he entered Kashmir defying the discriminatory permit system.He was arrested on 11 May 1953 and detained in a cottage in Srinagar. On 23 June 1953, at just 51 years of age, he died in custody under mysterious circumstances. His mother, Jogamaya Devi, demanded a judicial inquiry from Prime Minister Nehru, but it was never granted.His sacrifice kept the Kashmir issue alive in national consciousness. The permit system was eventually withdrawn, and decades later, the abrogation of Article 370 in August 2019 fulfilled a major part of his vision. 🇮🇳 Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookerjee was a rare combination of intellect, courage, and idealism. A staunch advocate of India First, he believed in a strong, culturally rooted, and fully united Bharat. One of his guiding principles was: “Whatever work you undertake, do it seriously, thoroughly and well; never leave it half-done.” He remains an inspiration for generations of nationalists who believe in Akhand Bharat and complete national integration.

Separation Confirmed! The world's first OptoSAR Satellite is now in space. Made in India for the world. Go Drishti! Go @GalaxEye! Go India!

@jawillick Because we are already doomed. 1.5C is gone, 2C is loading. El Nino 2026 could usher in a regime change. AGI may help solve some climate problems, but path to AGI will acerbate the situation even more. Once jobs are gone people can be herded to plant trees may be.

I’ve marveled at the disappearance of climate doom. Maybe part of it is related to rise of AI, which showed need for continued power generation and made the ascetic political fantasies facially untenable.

@anmolm_ That's the irony. He has enough money, influence to do something about it, but doesn't believe in it. At least seeing all the replies I hope he revisits his stance.
