When a former Prime Minister speaks, the nation listens.
H.D. Deve Gowda ji’s article on Prime Minister Modi becoming India’s longest-serving continuously elected Prime Minister is not merely about a record. It is a reflection on how India’s democracy has evolved and matured.
He notes that Prime Minister Modi has achieved this milestone in a far more competitive, scrutinised and demanding political environment than ever before. From governing a nation of 140 crore people to facing relentless public scrutiny in the age of social media, every day in office is earned through performance and public trust.
Particularly noteworthy is Deve Gowda ji’s observation that Prime Minister Modi has expanded representation in governance, strengthened women’s participation, remained uncompromising in protecting India’s national interests, and stayed deeply connected with people across every section of society.
His concluding remark is perhaps the most profound:
“Modi is successful because he has remained reflective. He has kept himself open to constant scrutiny.”
A remarkable tribute from a veteran statesman who has witnessed India’s political journey from close quarters.
The people of India have renewed their faith in Prime Minister Modi time and again. This historic milestone is a testament to that enduring trust.

Editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes @zannymb knows this. @TheEconomist’s new “weekly “Ashoka” column offers unlimited scope for one-sided reporting on India tinged with racist condescension while gritting its teeth at Britain’s 1% growth post-colonisation.
Minhaz Merchant@MinhazMerchant
Oh, @TheEconomist has always been closet racist. As India’s economy grows at 700% the rate of Britain’s economy, the racism drips out of the closet.

एक भीषण अग्निकांड में 22 लोग जान गंवाते हैं, जांच में पता चलता है कि रसोईए केशव नेगी ने इंडक्शन चूल्हे पर आग लगते ही स्वीच ऑफ कर बिना किसी को सूचित किए भाग गया। लिहाजा इलेक्ट्रॉनिक दरवाजे बंद हो गये। पुलिस कार्रवाई थी जिसमें होटल मालिक को गंभीर धाराओं में गिरफ्तार किया गया और केशव नेगी को पूछताछ के बाद। तंत्र में गड़बड़ी है पर सिर्फ पहाड़ी होने से केशव नेगी पाक साफ साबित नहीं हो जाता। यह अजीब सा ट्रैंड बनता जा रहा है कि पहाड़ी है तो विशेष इम्युनिटी मिले। केशव नेगी को जांच में सहयोग करना चाहिए। तंत्र को भी सौ लानत कि इतना बड़ा अवैध होटल बन गया पर तंत्र होता रहा

HDW Type 1500 was the best submarine India had & even now continues to serve with superb Op capability.
2 were built in MDL & next 2 in contract called off, instead of further contracting out a dozen more. MDL line & trained workers wasted for the same reasons as Bofors.

📅 JUNE 8 DAY 14 | HOT TAKE: THE BOFORS IRONY IS THE BEST SUMMARY OF INDIA'S POLITICS Let me be direct today. The Bofors scandal lasted for over a decade in Indian courts and politics. The gun at the center of it won Kargil. That one sentence summarizes something essential about Indian democracy that we don't like to say out loud. We are extraordinarily good at political warfare. We are considerably less good at defense preparedness. The Bofors deal was probably corrupt. There were almost certainly payments made that shouldn't have been. The investigation, though slow and ultimately inconclusive in courts, was legitimate. But here is what nobody wanted to say in 1989, or 1991, or 1999: The gun worked. It was a good gun. It was the right gun for what India needed. Whatever happened in the procurement process, the weapon that Indian soldiers carried to Kargil was capable, accurate, and battle-winning. We spent 10 years debating how it was bought. We spent zero years ensuring we had enough ammunition for it. A political system that is more energized by the question of "who got the kickback" than "are our soldiers equipped" is not a system serving its military. This isn't a defense of corruption. It's an indictment of misplaced priorities. Post-Kargil India slowly began correcting this. Defence budgets increased. Procurement reforms began. The private sector was gradually opened to defence manufacturing. These are real and meaningful changes. But they came after 527 soldiers died on peaks that had been occupied while India's intelligence slept, and whose recapture was complicated by ammunition shortages that nobody had planned for. The Bofors irony should be required reading for every defence ministry official in India. The question isn't just how you buy the weapons. It's whether you buy enough of them, maintain them, and stock the ammunition. Kargil taught us that. At a price we should never have paid. #Kargil27 #KargilVijayDiwas

An 800-kg wild gaur walked more than 300 km across Tamil Nadu, from the forests of Trichy to the shores of Pamban. What followed was one of the most complex wildlife operations undertaken in the state. After a month of tracking the animal through human-dominated landscapes, and when all efforts to guide it back to suitable habitat failed, the Tamil Nadu Forest Department carried out the state’s first long-distance gaur translocation. Nearly 100 personnel, including expert veterinarians and trackers, worked in challenging coastal terrain to safely tranquilize, transport and release the animal in a Reserve Forest in Dindigul after a 13-hour capture operation and a 9-hour journey. Translocating a gaur is among the most challenging wildlife management tasks. This successful operation marks a significant milestone in conflict mitigation and wildlife management, while providing valuable lessons for future human-wildlife conflict situations. Kudos to the entire team 👏👏💪

@GargiRawat @thehill_news Not all endings end Happily Ever After....
Problem is with us...citizenry...
Superstitious and blinded by our faith--we feed what are essentially wild animals...turning them into beggars and in case of Rhesus many times into robbers and vermin.
Don't feed wild animals.

Indians are still on Ekla Chalo ré,...
See the recent Scorpene Sub case or M2000 with France.
Strange. Bedfellows if Indians replace Germans.

@elonmusk India has Postal ballots for the military or they can vote at the place of assignment. People don't trust postal ballots. And yes Voter list is verified in a humungous exercise. It does have a small percentage of faults.
Results are declared immediately since Voting is on EVM
English
Once voting is this fraudulent, they can get whatever outcome they want, making a sham of democracy
Arthur MacWaters@ArthurMacwaters
Let me get this straight > nearly every major democracy restricts mail in voting > they also require real, government issued ID > mail in votes (with no confirmation of citizenship during registration) switched the CA election > thus election in CA is one of the most insecure processes in the developed world There’s no question that fraud happened. It’s statistically certain The only question is whether CA can vote itself out of this mess, or if it’s already too far gone When is enough enough?

@Just1597400 @JAYANTH_66 Because weaponising water openly is not something the Indian establishment seems to be blamed for.
The two actions are kept seperate.
Rest is all jargon and media hype. The common public falls for it and is suitably confused.

@MvsNegi @JAYANTH_66 Why? It was done during Sindoor only. It gives more pain than any war.
English
Op Sindoor seems to be like that prescribed 7 day course of Antibiotic that was discontinued after just 3 days, giving the target germ immunity from that particular antibiotic itself.
Pak army got legitimacy-constitution change, CDF, satellites, Rocket Force & a Field Marshal !
Shekhar Gupta@ShekharGupta
The most significant story with strategic implications you’ve read in some time.. Who’d imagine Pakistan watching so from so many satellites of its own..

Something like this is what Indian Army & Navy need for Op Logistics.
Both have their own challenges...one in the mountains at High Altitudes and the other at sea with platforms in 4 dimensional movement .

@Just1597400 @JAYANTH_66 Never heard it was part of Op Sindoor. GoI has been very careful not to mix the two.
Pls read my posts before jumping the gun.

@captsingh Yes Captain final objectives are always political but waging war successfully has its own principles and Op Art.

War serves political goals, not an end in itself.

So, IAF to transport question papers for the June 21 NEET re-exam to 18 locations.
What next? Security cover by soldiers?
English
@JAYANTH_66 Mil Ops do notwork like that.
Much that was done opwise, probably underpolitical naivity, was not as per basics of Op Art.
Pain penalty hasto be higher.
Pak army gained domestically - CDF, Wpns, Budget,FM & internationally DJT & Iran.
Tactical win, Strategically?
Rest is jargon
English
@MvsNegi OP Sindoor wasn't meant to be a 7-day "course" at all. The goal was punitive strikes + signaling, not occupation or regime change. From that view, the message was delivered, red lines were drawn and escalation was controlled. The risk of going longer would have been a wider war.
