Indian milk ice cream is the world's best. Swiss ice creams come close, but you can't get the taste of Indian milk ice cream. In India, "ice cream" means it is made of 100% milk and not hydrogenated vegetable fats like many other countries. IMO, the best Indian ice creams are the ones made with natural fruit, nuts, and milk. But Indian ice creams brands are being bought by foreign investors and companies. This is happening for all products and startups where India excels. Instead of Indian brands expanding and competing world wide, they sell out. The foreign buyer generally never takes the Indian brand international, instead makes it worse, or shuts it down. This can only be stopped by GoI.

Congratulations @RahulGandhi for making it to Chinese state media. Your environmental activism on the Great Nicobar project is receiving praise from China. Well done 👏 India obviously doesn’t need leaders like you.

Forget Udhayanidhi for a second. Did even one Hindu MLA stand up and object? Not one? Nearly 200 Hindu legislators sat there listening to ‘eradication of Sanatan’ speeches in silence. Who exactly are they so afraid of losing power, losing votes, or losing relevance? Sanatan has survived invaders, empires and massacres. But silence from its own people is a far greater betrayal than open hostility.

🚨Pakistan Air Force’s “Operation Sindoor” Spokesman in Dhaka: Emerging Security Concerns for India’s Eastern Front The arrival of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed in Dhaka at this critical geopolitical juncture raises serious strategic and security questions for India. Officially described as a “five-day Air Staff Talk” aimed at expanding bilateral “cooperation” between Bangladesh and Pakistan, the visit comes amid rapidly expanding activities of Pakistan’s military-intelligence establishment inside Bangladesh following the August 2024 regime change in Dhaka. What makes the visit particularly alarming is the profile of the visiting official himself. Air Vice Marshal Ahmed is not merely a routine military bureaucrat. He currently serves as Director General Public Relations of the Pakistan Air Force, Deputy Chief of Air Staff (Operations), and Commander of the Air Force Strategic Command. More significantly, he emerged as one of the principal public faces of Pakistan’s anti-India military propaganda during and after India’s “Operation Sindoor” in May 2025.His presence in Dhaka therefore cannot be viewed in isolation or dismissed as ceremonial military diplomacy. Timing Raises Strategic Red Flags According to available information, Air Vice Marshal Ahmed arrived in Dhaka on May 10 aboard Qatar Airways flight QR-638 via Doha, leading a five-member Pakistan Air Force delegation. The delegation includes Air Commodores Shah Khalid and Abdul Ghafoor Buzdar, Group Captain Muhammad Ali Khan, and Wing Commander Hassan Tariq Aziz. The visit assumes extraordinary significance because it comes only days after Bangladeshi security agencies reportedly dismantled a substantial module of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operating within elements of the Bangladesh Air Force (BAF). The timing naturally invites scrutiny regarding the deeper objectives behind Islamabad’s sudden military outreach toward Dhaka. Indian strategic observers and intelligence agencies are likely to view this development with heightened concern, particularly because Pakistan’s military establishment has recently amplified rhetoric regarding the possibility of opening pressure points against India from the “Eastern Front”. ISI’s Expanding Footprint Inside Bangladesh Since the political transition in Bangladesh in August 2024, Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) has significantly intensified its activities across multiple sectors inside the country. According to informed sources, ISI has been investing heavily in several interconnected operational blueprints. These activities allegedly include: 👉Expansion of anti-India propaganda infrastructure; 👉Covert influence operations targeting political and ideological groups; 👉Coordination and facilitation of operatives linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM); 👉Increased deployment of social media bot networks to counter anti-Pakistan narratives; 👉Attempts to consolidate pro-Pakistan Islamist elements within Bangladesh; Efforts to suppress or neutralize pro-Taliban and TTP-linked radical factions that could threaten Pakistan internally. This dual-track strategy — promoting anti-India agendas while simultaneously controlling anti-Pakistan extremist spillover — mirrors ISI’s historical operational doctrine in several regional theaters. For India, the concern is not merely about conventional military cooperation between Dhaka and Islamabad. Rather, the larger issue revolves around whether Bangladesh is gradually being repositioned as a strategic rear-base for Pakistan’s long-term asymmetric agenda against India’s vulnerable eastern corridor. Why Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed Matters The selection of Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed as the face of this outreach is itself deeply symbolic.Following India’s “Operation Sindoor” in May 2025, Ahmed became one of the most visible representatives of Pakistan’s military narrative machinery. Pakistani military circles publicly credited him with playing a significant role in operational coordination, mission planning, and force allocation during the confrontation with India. On May 7, 2025, he was honored at a special ceremony at Pakistan Air Headquarters in Islamabad marking the first anniversary of “Marka-e-Haq”, where senior PAF officials highlighted his contribution to the coordinated employment of air power. Such an individual would not ordinarily be dispatched merely for symbolic military courtesy visits.His current role as Commander of the Air Force Strategic Command further elevates the seriousness of the visit. Strategic command structures within Pakistan’s military architecture are closely linked to operational preparedness, high-value defense coordination, and long-term force projection planning. Security Implications for India For Indian policymakers and intelligence establishments, several urgent questions emerge: 👉Is Pakistan attempting to deepen military penetration into Bangladesh’s defense institutions under the guise of bilateral cooperation? 👉Are elements within Bangladesh being cultivated to facilitate intelligence gathering or operational support against India’s eastern and northeastern sectors? 👉Could the increasing interaction between Pakistani military structures and Bangladeshi institutions create conditions for future covert destabilization efforts? 👉Is the ISI attempting to revive old jihadist and proxy networks in Bangladesh to strategically pressure India? 👉To what extent are anti-India influence operations already embedded within Bangladesh’s digital and ideological ecosystems? These questions become even more critical given India’s longstanding security sensitivities concerning the Siliguri Corridor, the Northeast, cross-border radicalization networks, and the Bay of Bengal strategic theater. A Development India Cannot Ignore India has historically treated Bangladesh as one of its most important regional partners in counterterrorism cooperation and eastern frontier stability. Successive security collaborations between New Delhi and Dhaka played a major role in dismantling insurgent sanctuaries and curbing extremist activities in the region. Any systematic attempt by Pakistan’s military-intelligence establishment to regain strategic depth inside Bangladesh therefore represents a development of considerable concern. The visit of Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed may officially be presented as routine military engagement. However, viewed against the broader geopolitical backdrop — expanding ISI activities, rising anti-India narratives, the emergence of extremist networks, and Pakistan’s increasingly aggressive posture — the visit carries implications that extend far beyond protocol diplomacy.For India’s media, strategic community, and intelligence agencies, this is not a development to be casually overlooked.

Dear Senator. If this reporting surprised you, our intelligence and our intelligentsia— think tanks and South Asia centers are to be blamed. They kept you in dark about something that everybody on the street down Capitol Hill knows. Remember, Senator, where OBL was found and which country gave the nukes tech to N Korea? x.com/avatans/status…

The Sad Story of India’s Copper Industry Recently, PM Modi, while addressing an event in Hyderabad, spoke about the rising import bill caused by the current geopolitical situation. One important contributor to this growing import bill is copper. Today, India imports nearly 500,000 tonnes of copper annually. What is surprising is that just eight years ago, India was a net exporter of copper. In FY2017-18: * India exported around 378,000 tonnes of refined copper * Imports were only about 44,000 tonnes * India enjoyed a strong trade surplus in copper One of the biggest reasons behind India’s copper self-sufficiency was the Sterlite Copper plant at Thoothukudi (Tuticorin), Tamil Nadu. The plant was among the world’s major copper smelting facilities, with an annual capacity of 400,000 tonnes, accounting for nearly 35–40% of India’s copper smelting capacity. In 2018, the company proposed expanding capacity from 400,000 tonnes to 800,000 tonnes to meet rising future demand. During this period, large-scale protests erupted against the plant backed by foreign-funded NGOs. The protests later turned violent, and the Tamil Nadu government ordered the closure of the facility in May 2018. The plant has remained shut ever since. As a result: * India’s refined copper production fell sharply from about 830,000 tonnes in FY2017-18 to nearly 410,000 tonnes in FY2019-20 * India transformed from a net exporter into a net importer of copper * Dependence on foreign suppliers increased significantly Sterlite Copper had also promoted low-carbon and energy-efficient greencopper production compared to conventional smelting methods. In addition, the company was involved in CSR activities related to healthcare, education, environmental support, and community welfare. During the 2019 water crisis, the company reportedly supplied RO-purified drinking water to thousands of local families. India’s demand for copper is expected to rise rapidly because of: * Electric vehicles * Renewable energy * Power infrastructure * Electronics manufacturing * Defence production It may be time to reconsider the 2018 decision from an economic and strategic perspective. I respectfully request the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Mr. Vijay, to consider reviving this project after ensuring all necessary environmental and safety safeguards. Restarting the plant could: * Generate large-scale employment * Strengthen Tamil Nadu’s industrial economy * Reduce India’s copper import dependence * Improve India’s trade balance * Support the Make in India mission @CMOTamilnadu @TVKVijayHQ

Currently, this is happening all around the world • Several states in the US have encouraged citizens to work from home. • South Korea asked citizens to use washing machines and vacuum cleaners only on weekends to reduce electricity demand. • Pakistan Super League matches were played without crowds to reduce energy consumption. 4 days week, schools closed • Sri Lanka declared Wednesdays as a national holiday to conserve fuel. • Bangladesh ordered shopping malls to close by 7 PM and banned decorative lighting to save electricity. • China encouraged citizens to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). • Thailand advised citizens to set air conditioners at 27°C and avoid wearing coats and ties to reduce cooling demand. • The UK reduced highway speed limits to 80 kmph to improve fuel efficiency. • Germany introduced car-free Sundays to conserve fuel. • Spain mandated early closing hours for offices to reduce electricity consumption. • France banned short domestic flights where the same journey by train takes less than three hours. • Brazil encouraged citizens to use public transport more frequently. • Italy mandated a minimum AC temperature setting of 27°C in public buildings. • The Philippines implemented work-from-home measures and reduced operations in shopping malls to save energy. This is happening all around the world. All countries have increased prices of petrol and issued mandatory harsh measures. India is the only country in the world where no harsh steps have been taken Understand the global crisis Don't fall for Congress ecosystem agenda Support your country

In his first speech as Tamil Nadu chief minister, Vijay said that he grew up in poverty, and that he even knows what hunger is. It's bullshit because he was my classmate in the third standard in Loyola School. His father was a filmmaker who set up his son for a career in films. It is possible that like most filmmakers his father may have had periods of financial strife but that's not the same as Tamil-grade poverty. A lot of affluent boys confuse being broke with poverty. Two very different things.

@capt_mishra ताकि 21वीं शताब्दी किसी भी सूरत में एशिया की न बने।

आदरणीय डोनाल्ड ट्रम्प अपनी ध्वस्त अर्थव्यवस्था को इस युद्ध द्वारा बचाने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं, इनका लक्ष्य युद्ध करना नहीं बल्कि विश्व को अपंग और विभाजित करना, आर्थिक विकास को रोकना, हर स्तर पर आर्थिक अव्यवस्था फैलाना और समूचे विश्व को असफल राष्ट्रों का समूह बना देना है🙄😐😑

@sanjukgupta1987 कोई मारपीट और गुंडागर्दी ही करना चाहें तो उसे कौन रोक सकता है। हां, उस पर कानून के अनुसार कार्रवाई की जा सकती है और वही इस मामले में हुआ है।

🚨 रेल में शिकायत की कीमत इतनी भारी पड़ेगी… किसी ने सोचा भी नहीं था.! 😱 ट्रेन में सफर कर रहे एक यात्री ने सिर्फ इतना किया कि उसने कैटरिंग स्टाफ द्वारा extra चार्ज लेने की शिकायत कर दी… शिकायत के बाद यात्री का PNR और सीट डिटेल्स आगे भेजी गईं फिर कैटरिंग वाले आए और यात्री को बुरी तरह पीट दिया! कपड़े फाड़े, थप्पड़-लातें चलीं। वीडियो वायरल होने के बाद IRCTC ने ठेकेदार का कॉन्ट्रैक्ट खत्म कर दिया, ₹5 लाख जुर्माना लगाया और FIR दर्ज हुई। लेकिन सवाल ये है कि अगर शिकायत करने पर यात्री को ही पीटा जाएगा, तो कौन शिकायत करेगा?

We are not celebrating this enough 🇮🇳🔥 India just ran a hypersonic scramjet engine for 20 minutes straight. At Mach 5 that translates to a theoretical range of over 2,000 km. Here is why that number is historic 👇 • BrahMos flies at Mach 3 with 450 km range • This engine runs at Mach 5 and covers four times that distance • 20 minutes of stable combustion at hypersonic speeds is world class • Only a handful of countries have achieved this • Flight testing is the next step No imported technology. No foreign engine. No joint venture. Built in Hyderabad by Indian hands from scratch. India did not just test an engine today. It proved it can build a weapon nobody in the region can outrun. 🇮🇳

@capt_mishra 😀

जिस हिसाब से विपक्षी रो रहे हैं, आदरणीय मोदी जी बस चटाई और तेल की शीशी पर रोक लगा दें, सारे लिब्रांडु, पिद्दी, चमचे, आपपिल्ले भिखारी और सपाई फ़ुटपाथ पर तेल और चटाई के साथ QR लगा कर बैठे दिखेंगे और आदरणीय श्याम मीरा बहन को ब्राण्ड एंबेसडर बना लेंगे 🙄😐😑

Since everyone is making logos for West Bengal - I thought I will try out a composition too.

@MumbaichaDon With opportunistic support of @INCIndia and other fring parties, It will be a great surprise if this government lasts more than six months. It will crumble under it its own contradictions.

No-one has any right to interfere in anyone's personal life, but Vijay must understand that now being a CM, he's no more just a public figure but a role model for many & therefore must be very careful about his image. When ur own son-daughter don't attend peak moment of ur life but Still someone outside marriage being given more weightage than ur wife who stood with u for 25 years....is definitely bad optic. Vijay is new to politics but must learn these things fast. Women voters are very sensitive & are capable of changing election outcome with slight swing in their votes. I'm sure Vijay will learn fast. Images built on basis of Cinema are very fragile as compared to those leaders who have come from grassroots.

सोने के नाम पर इन्द्र वंशज, देवतुल्य, माननीय, पूज्यनीय, आदरणीय कप्तान साहब के पास एक चार ग्रामका छल्ला है बस, उसके बाद कभी खरीदा ही नहीं तो अब क्या खरीदेंगे, सात सौ की दिहाड़ी में क्या नहायें क्या निचोड़ें। आदरणीय मोदी जी आप निश्चिन्त रहें, राष्ट्रहित में हम आपके साथ हैं 🙄😐😑
