Why is the sky blue?

@JethmalaniM Sir, very true and aptly put. Thank you for your take on these anti-progressive India agencies like The Economist!!.

That is the fraud. American power on screen is “craft.” British power on screen is “heritage.” Indian power on screen is suddenly evidence of political conditioning. Same cinema. Same nationalism. Different skin colour. The Economist has a wonderfully colonial rulebook for cinema. When America straps a camera to Pentagon hardware and sells state power with a soundtrack, it is “spectacle.” When a film is made with CIA-adjacent mythology around national revenge, it is “serious storytelling.” But when India puts its own enemies and terrorist attack scars on screen, suddenly the magazine reaches for the psychiatrist’s couch. That is the real joke here. Fighter jets, spies, commandos and national vengeance are perfectly acceptable as long as the flag fluttering in the background is American or British. Then it is culture. It is craft. It is cinema doing what cinema does. The Economist has invented a very elegant little rule for cinema: Top Gun: Maverick can fly on Pentagon muscle, RAMBO & Zero Dark Thirty can ride CIA mythology, James Bond can sell six decades of British spy glamour, Dunkirk can turn wartime memory into national legend, and all of that is called storytelling. But the moment India puts terror, retaliation and national memory on screen with Dhurandhar, the magazine starts diagnosing the audience instead of reviewing the film. What @TheEconomist cannot digest is not one film. It is the fact that Indians are no longer outsourcing their memory to London’s approval. A country that has lived through decades of Pakistan-sponsored terror is apparently expected to process all that pain in whispers, with tasteful disclaimers, and preferably under the supervision of foreign editors who still think they are qualified to explain India to Indians. And that is why the review reeks. Not of sophistication, but of the old imperial tic: Western nationalism on screen is a nation telling its story; Indian nationalism on screen is a pathology requiring diagnosis. The costume has changed. The sneer has not. The funniest part is that The Economist probably thinks this is fearless criticism. It is not. It is just another imported lecture from people who never mind propaganda when it wears aviators, a tuxedo, or a CIA badge, but develop exquisite moral sensitivity the moment India stops being apologetic on its own screen. Just FYI: Decades of Pakistan-sponsored terror are apparently meant to be processed quietly, apologetically, and preferably without ever producing a mass-market cultural response. That is the old script. India is no longer following it.

India ran the most important cardiovascular study of the 20th century by accident, and then immediately forgot about it. In 1967, Dr. S.L. Malhotra published a study in the British Heart Journal examining heart disease rates among 1.5 million Indian railway employees. The population was extraordinarily useful for research purposes: same employer, same healthcare access, comparable income and working conditions, spread across the entire country. The only meaningful variable was geography. Which meant diet. North Indian railway workers: Punjab, Rajasthan, UP, ate a diet built around ghee and dairy fat. They consumed up to 19 times more fat than their southern counterparts. The fat was primarily saturated: clarified butter, milk fat, the short-chain saturated fatty acids that Ancel Keys had recently been telling the Western world were arterial death. South Indian railway workers ate a diet based on rice, sambar, and seed oils: groundnut oil and sesame oil, primarily. They ate considerably less fat overall. By the standards of dietary advice being formulated in the 1960s, they should have been the healthy ones. Heart disease mortality in South India: 135 per 100,000. Heart disease mortality in North India: 20 per 100,000. Seven times higher in the population eating seed oils. Among railway sweepers specifically, the lowest-paid, most physically active workers, the gap was even wider. Heart disease was fifteen times more common in the South Indian sweeper population than in the North Indian sweeper population. Malhotra controlled for everything he could reach: smoking, where Northerners actually smoked more. Activity levels, where the relationship was inconsistent. Socioeconomic status, where executives died more often than sweepers regardless of region. He found no variable that explained the gap except the type of fat in the diet. He published the data. In a peer-reviewed journal. In 1967. The study was cited periodically, acknowledged as methodologically interesting, and then set aside. The decade in which Malhotra published was the decade in which Ancel Keys's fat hypothesis was being converted into policy. The American Heart Association was issuing guidance recommending polyunsaturated vegetable oils as replacements for saturated animal fats. The food industry was producing seed oils at industrial scale. The infrastructure of seed oil promotion was being built, expensively and with great institutional momentum. A study showing that populations eating animal fat had a fraction of the heart disease of populations eating seed oils was not, in that context, a study that anyone particularly wanted to follow up. Nobody followed up. Almost sixty years later, the finding stands unrefuted in the literature. It is not in the dietary guidelines.

This is the state-owned media channel of one country trying to spread canards about oil supplies in another country

Idiotic coverage by @Reuters have Editors lost all reason and regard for truth? There are 475m households in India! Have they all ditched hot food? What a gross exaggeration. Shameful idiots

In order to be born, you needed: 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great-grandparents 16 second great-grandparents 32 third great-grandparents 64 fourth great-grandparents 128 fifth great-grandparents 256 sixth great-grandparents 512 seventh great-grandparents 1,024 eighth great grandparents 2,048 ninth great-grandparents For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years. Think for a moment: How many struggles? How many battles? How many difficulties? How much sadness? How much happiness? How many love stories? How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...

There’s been a Raisina Dialogue in Delhi every March since 2016. It’s the brainchild of Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Narendra Modi’s long-serving foreign minister. Like other global gatherings, it brings together political leaders, senior military commanders, prominent business people, leading journalists, and think tank chiefs to discuss key issues; but it’s better than Davos because it’s not so dominated by politically correct plutocrats; and better than the longer-running Chinese Boao Forum, because it not essentially an exercise in homage to the host government. I started attending virtually, during the pandemic, and have been there in person since 2022. My reflections on Raisina, Modi, and why India matters more than ever in my latest at The Tony Abbott Newsletter: tonyabbott.au/p/what-davos-s…

@Jaspritbumrah93 You really deserved this celebration and fan following. You are an amazing inspiring personality who challenged his situations and continued with perseverance and hard work. Wishing you continuous glory and success. Congratulations @Jaspritbumrah93

India. Home. World Champions. 🇮🇳🏆 Couldn’t have imagined this any better even if I tried. From dreaming about playing for India in this city to creating history here, it’s been a blessed ride. Grateful for this team, the support, the fans, and this moment.

@ByRakeshSimha @CNNnews18 Haha.. didn't expect this sort of mishap from @CNNnews18

Hello @CNNnews18 if your journalists are using AI to write basic news articles, at least get them to erase the evidence. This particular journalist Feroz Khan has not deleted the prompts by ChatGPT, Grok or Perplexity or whatever chatbot he used. Just unbelievably sloppy.

CASE STATUS UPDATE 🚔 Earlier complaint: Ball going missing. New complaint: Entire batting lineup going missing. Our assessment: This is not a law & order problem. This is Bumrah. 🎯🇮🇳 #INDvNZ #T20WorldCup2026Final

@icelandcricket Wasted expenses!! ?? This is bit out of the line. The experience, excitement, joy and adrenaline of participating in a world cup is worth the try on top of this there is also monetary reward of participating!!

The T20 World Cup is down to just two nations. A lot of teams wasted expenses, time, and physical and emotional energy taking part. Some thought twice about it. We sat here and spouted comments like no tomorrow. Our players are rested and rejuvenated for season 2026.

@yamigautam @grok what is the award function which she is referring to and who is the actor? What is this issue about, when did it happen? explain in detail.

It has come to my notice that I apparently ‘liked’ a reel that is condescending toward another actor. We get tagged in multiple things every day, and this appeared during an award-function reference like any other tag. It isn’t true and was definitely not done consciously, if anything, it may have been clicked accidentally. Never in my life have I resorted to cheap PR tactics. I have always focused on my work and moved on. In the world of clickbait, it’s tempting for even dignified social media portals to harp on this and turn it into coffee-table gossip. But I would hope they would consider that I have earned a better reputation than that. I have no PR team, have respectfully cleared my stance on entertainment award shows long ago, and remain focused on my work. 🙏🏻

@grok @joybhattacharj Whosoever made this decision, I think they are not into sports!! Yet control it!! Win/loss is part of sport, can't they understand it! It's a pathetic decision! This is one of the most humiliating decisions made by the @TheRealPCB board. This is how they respect their players?

Yes, it's true. Multiple reports including from ESPNcricinfo confirm the PCB fined every member of Pakistan's T20 World Cup 2026 squad PKR 5 million (50 lakh, ~$18k) each for their underwhelming campaign and Super 8 exit—the fines were set after the India loss but finalized post-tournament.

Pakistan cricketers being fined Pakistan Rupees 50 lacs each for an underwhelming World Cup is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. In that case why not fine the selectors for not picking the right team or board members of the PCB for not producing the right talent. Their cricketers have gone out and done what they could, find other scapegoats to blame.

@KhamisMalhosani UAE leadership right from Sheikh Zayed along with Sheikh Rashid are pioneers and are a cut above the other leaders of the region. They always drive their policies and actions for the betterment of their country and its residents. Saying this out of my own experience.

As an Emirati, that video meant a lot. A man from Ghana stops our President and instead of being ignored, he’s asked where he’s from and if he’s happy here. Find me another place where that happens.

@sharma_views Also the entrance of Fairmont, in front of which the debris fell, is much interior as it's a huge hotel and nowhere near the road!!

🚨 Famous YouTuber Dhruv Rathee shares his personal account from Dubai. He had just left with his family hours before explosions were reported near Palm Island. Mid-air, they were informed of US–Israel strikes on Iran. After landing, visuals showed smoke, flight cancellations, evacuations, and air defense interceptions. Some families remain stranded at Dubai airport. He says this is the first time a war felt personal. 🌍💥

@sharma_views He is lying... Dubai got attacked only after a few hours of the start of the conflict. By that time the war was declared. The Fairmont hotel was not a bomb blast but debris of intercepted missiles falling. By that time DXB airport and airspace were closed for commercial airlines.

@theskindoctor13 No respect for the lives of the workers!! No safety precautions nor any standard protocols are being used for this kind of work. Such a careless contractor!! @grok or @AskPerplexity can you identify the contractor who is incharge for this work.

Steel bridge work above, live traffic below, every safety norm thrown out the window. One slip and someone becomes pulp worth ₹4 lakh in compensation. Santosh nagar, Hyderabad.
