India is pouring concrete, laying fibre, subsidising GPUs, building data centres. The hardware push is real and visible. But the intelligence running on top (leading edge LLMs) is still largely foreign-owned. We’re building the toll roads. Someone else is collecting the toll. The answer is not extreme protectionism in seeking to build everything domestically at any cost. It's the UPI playbook. Let the government underwrite the compute infrastructure. Let a consortium of private firms, researchers and startups develop competitive sovereign models. Then let the private sector innovate on top. It worked for payments. It could work for intelligence. via @businessline

@TheWordsmithjr @sudoingX I’ve sort of given up on Hermes with local models.

@TheWordsmithjr @sudoingX No

anyone with an RTX 3090 should be paying attention. this machine is not just a gaming setup in 2026. it can host an intelligence that one-shotted an entire game on a single card that 2x H200 at full precision could not. get your hands dirty. compile llama.cpp with CUDA. run qwen 3.5 27B dense Q4_K_M. undisputed on 24GB. the best model for that card and it's not even close. i haven't tested gemma 4 yet but it's on the queue. the 3090 era is far from over.

@sandhyaravishan Who is Michael Collins quoted in the article? I don’t know the author or his work. But given what Rajeev Malhotra showed in Breaking India I wonder if this Micheal is a peddler of falsehood with similar aims

Part 3 of my 3-part series on how the Dravidian movement betrayed the Dalits of TN. In this, I trace the rise & fall of Thol Thirumavalavan. Do read and share. icrr.in/Encyc/2026/4/1…

@bseshadri Most parliamentarians don’t do much work. Why increase burden of tax payers

850 members of parliament seems excessive. It can be reduced to 450. Women-only 150 and general 300, with SC/ST seats cutting across. Freezing the 1971 census is good for the next decade or more. But I guess the die is cast and I feel uncomfortable.

@GemsOfINDOLOGY Vesthi not lungi

1842. British artists painted Konkani traders on European watermarked paper. Notice what they couldn't erase. The man leans elegantly on a closed umbrella held in his right hand, and carries a palm-leaf fan in the left. He wears a lungi, a turban and has a chequered 'towel', remarkably similar to those still in use today, thrown over his shoulders. A cloth bag hangs from his left shoulder. On his forehead is a tilaka, on his chest are sectarian marks, both vertical and horizontal, and the yajnopavita. His wife wears an elaborately draped sari covering her bare chest. Her head and person are adorned with jewellery and she wears flowers in her hair. She carries an open parasol.

The weakest and frankly most pathetic defence some Indians offer for Pakistan is its much-romanticised ‘mehman-nawazi.’ So for a plate of nihari, a round of sheesha, and some easy laughter in an opulent mansion built on dividends of violence - they seem perfectly willing to overlook decades of bloodshed - beheaded and mutilated soldiers, 26/11, Pahalgam - an unrelenting policy of “death by a thousand cuts.” Because, after all, what is a little blood on the streets… when it’s not yours?

@chandrarsrikant @ChristinMP_ Every company says 0 tolerance but skeletons keep tumbling from closets

Infosys says zero tolerance for harassment as Pune BPM claims surface on social media moneycontrol.com/news/business/…

The Kerala Story is going to be the India Story if we continue to bury our head in the sand. The TCS horror proves Love Jihad is no longer limited to lone-wolf attacks but has evolved into carefully orchestrated grooming operations run by educated professionals. My views:

A victim's complaint says that Shafi and Tausif used to make lewd remarks, even commented on her miscarriage, telling that a Maulvi in Ajmer can help her to have children TCS management ignored complaints of harassment, FIRs say opindia.com/2026/04/sexual…

Funny how ‘distance and lack of knowledge’ suddenly become an issue only when the topic is TCS Nashik. Those barriers never seem to exist when there’s a constant agenda to criticize India on everything else.

When a Tamil judge allowed burning of Karthigai Deepam, Tamil Culture haters like Priyanka Vadra, Akhilesh & Kanimozhi wanted to impeach the judge. Now BJP is promising protection to Tamil Culture in its manifesto 👍

Not one article on TCS in @newslaundry. Not one article on TCS in @scroll_in. Not one article on TCS in @thewire_in. Not one report on TCS by @ravish_journo. Not one report on TCS by @ajitanjum. Not one report on TCS by @abhisar_sharma. Ladies & gentlemen, “truth-to-power.”

The Maal-e-Ghanimat Attitude of Islamists from Nashik TCS JIHAD Case This is the story of a 23-year-old Deepika (name changed). Shahrukh would call her to his desk for work and started talking about her family and private life. He would ask questions like: “Do you have a boyfriend?”, “Do you like anyone in the office?”, “Did anyone approach you?”, “How many boyfriends do you have?”, etc. Later, Raza joined him and they both began commenting on her body shape. They would say, “You are so thin, you should go to the gym.” They would again ask if she had a boyfriend and went on to say, “Let’s get her ready for a man.” On Gudi Padwa, she wore a new dress and left her hair open in the office. She was humiliated in front of everyone by Raza, who said, “Wasn’t your festival at home?” Shahrukh would ask her to go out for a walk with him since her parents did not live in the city. They would make obscene gestures towards her and talk about obscene things. They also discussed her private life. She wanted to complain, but Shahrukh, Raza, and Shafi were all very well connected and dominating, so she did not dare to complain. More details in my report for @eOrganiser attached in next tweet. How painful it is to even write these details. Kindly give them stringent punishments @nashikpolice @Dev_Fadnavis

Because you stole Kashmiri Pandit land The brain & economy left Kashmir 40 years ago Now Morons are left behind who beg from Modi ji That’s you entire story in 3 lines समझी

Tech Mahindra! 60% Muslim Boys!

Translation: “Why can’t the police leave my co-religionists alone to sexually assault, mentally torture and blackmail gullible women”. Mind you, this is how Grooming Gangs were enabled in UK by shaming Law & Order machinery and calling it Islamophobia

#LoveJihaad does not exist In Ahmednagar, MH, Heena Sheikh takes tuition for girls. Most of her students are Hindu. She tells her Hindu students to stop wearing teeka and bangles. She lets Avej Sheikh sit in her class even though he is not a student. Tells Hindu girls to be friends with Avej. Encourages them to share pictures with Avej. Avej tells atleast 8 girls he loves them, tries to establish sexual relations. His sister, Alisha Shaikh helps him convince all these girls that he loves them. If not Alisha threatens the girls to publish their morphed pictures. The original pictures are just selfies Heena Shaikh had convinced girls to take in her class. Other adults from community get involved and take girls to Masjid. Maulvi knows what's going on. Every Muslim in village knows. They are all together, raising money, funding, to target 8 underage girls. Eventually this exploitation of Hindu girls, call it grooming or #LoveJihad is exposed. Avej Nisar Sheikh, Kaif Sheikh, Sohail Sheikh, Heena Sheikh, Alisha Sheikh, Salim Pathan, Altaf Sheikh and Shakir Sayyed booked. Now think about it, teachers, Muslim boys, their sisters, father, brothers, mother, maulvi & other members of Muslim society all come together to target your underage Hindu girls. Just think about it. Now repeat after me, #LoveJihad doesn't exist. They are not after your children. It's just love. Don't be a hater. Love Jihad doesn't exist. TCS doesn't exist.
