“Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time.” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Every calculation you have ever done uses a system India invented.
Before Indian mathematicians gave the world zero and the decimal place, Greek and Roman maths used letters for numbers. Try multiplying MXLVII by CCXCIV. Merchants, architects and astronomers across the ancient world were trapped.
Baghdad's Al-Khwarizmi (c.780–847) transmitted it west. His book on the Indian place system and algorithmic calculation laid the foundation of modern mathematics. The word "algorithm" is a corruption of his name. "Algebra" comes from his treatise title. Both are Arabic transmissions of Indian originals.
Abraham Seidenberg's History of Mathematics credits India's Sulba Sutras as the inspiration for all mathematics of the ancient world.
Lin Yutang, Chinese philosopher: "India was China's teacher in trigonometry, quadratic equations, grammar, phonetics."
Carl Sagan thought Vedic cosmology the only ancient system whose timescales correspond to modern scientific cosmology.
Every time a computer runs, it counts in a system India designed.

Unlike the much exaggerated Sati, the Chinese Xunjie or Widow Suicide system killed lakhs of women.
Widows were forced to starve themselves to death or poisoned so they didn't have sex after the husband's death. The Chinese society built thousands of arches (called Paifamg) to glorify the practice.
But literally nobody even knows about it today because information & media are frauds. Hence we must share it.

China: A Shang caste woman lies injured after a traffic accident, but no one helps or calls an ambulance— Shi people only film and post it on social media.

@aravind @ShrivastavAni When he entered this guy’s country, they couldn’t uncover him for seven years! One Brahmos sends these incels running helter skelter.

What an insensitive thing to say. Pathetic attacks in the name of politics, forgetting he's not a politician and has worked his whole life for securing India under many governments.
The man is 81 years old, his job is to use his brains and strategy to keep India secure from multiple threats and project power, in which he has done a commendable job. Like one comment said, it's like attacking Stephen Hawking as incompetent.

Indian-origin Rushabh Patel gave his life saving two strangers in the UK.
28-year-old Rushabh was enjoying a picnic with his wife Mili and 18-month-old daughter Vrumi when he saw two people struggling in the water near Milton Keynes.
Without hesitation, he jumped in to save them. Rushabh suffered a cardiac arrest during the rescue and tragically passed away days later.
Even in death, he saved 5 more lives through organ donation.
Yet don't expect this story to dominate global headlines. Acts of extraordinary courage by Indians rarely receive the same attention that anti-India narratives do.

When I visited India a few years ago, I got my blood work done at 7am by a Healthcare worker who visited me, got the reports by 9am, doctor's appointment at 10am, followup multiple scans at 2pm, scan results came back at 3pm, followup doctor's phone appointment at 4pm, and medication delivered at 5pm at my doorstep.
All this costed me 3000 rupees (~$30)

While Europe was under ice, someone in Ratnagiri carved a 14-metre map of India.
It's an elephant. Head west to the Konkan, tail east.
Inside it: a tiger in the east, a langur in the north, a boar in Madhya Pradesh, a pangolin in the south. Each animal where it actually lives.
Seven mountains. The Mahabharata also names seven. It was carved 10,000 years before the Mahabharata.
Now the part that should end the argument.
The map's width-to-height ratio is 1.167. Modern India is 1.04. Doesn't match.
Because they weren't mapping modern India.
Reverse-solve 1.167 against the coastline of 12,000 BCE — when the sea was 120m lower and the Sunda Shelf was dry land — and the eastern edge lands at ~100.9°E.
The eastern shore of the Malay Peninsula. The exact limit of the world you could walk to from India at the time.
A decorative outline doesn't do that. A map does.
The oldest known map is supposed to be Çatalhöyük, ~6,200 BCE. This predates it by 6,000 years.
It's on an open plateau. People play cricket near these carvings. The monsoon is erasing it.

Why did we not deport Talwinder Singh Parmar to 🇮🇳 in 1982? 🇨🇦 may have avoided the Kanishka bombing killing 268 Canadian.
Just weeks ago, three of your colleagues from @CPC_HQ attended this event celebrating Parmar, the architect of 🇨🇦’s deadliest terrorist attack.

Canadians deserve a government that takes organized crime seriously. Conservatives are calling for harsher mandatory minimums, the swift deportation of foreign criminals and stronger protections for victims.

In 2019, at a National Park in South Africa, a rhino poacher snuck in to illegally hunt and kill the animals.
However, as he entered, an elephant charged and trampled him to death.
Then, a pride of lions found his body and ate it… leaving only his skull and a pair of pants.

Laughter is anti-inflammatory. Crying is regulating. Hugging is immunoprotective. Singing is vagal toning. Dancing is neurogenic.
Joy is a biological necessity.

X algorithm is so rigged that it won’t show the quiet, everyday kindness of Indians like that of the barista in this video.
For me it is honestly heartbreaking to see people left completely alone during the holidays season-when life is all about family and feasting for most- so I make it a point to head out and feed the homeless myself with my own money.
It’s a total tragedy that we have over 650,000 people living on the streets in this country every single night, yet all people on here want to do is fuel the outrage machine. Instead of actually trying to solve these real crises to “save civilization”, the internet lords just choose to promote culture war talks and bigotry.

🇮🇪⚔️ An armed Irish group has issued a direct warning to politicians:
“You have flooded our communities with military-age migrant men.
We will not sit back and watch our culture and religion destroyed.”
The pushback has begun.
Ireland is waking up.
