This is a time-lapse of the sky taken by a 360 deg camera at from #Hanle on 22/23 April night. You can see the aurora lights due to an intense geomagnetic storm that hit the Earth. It is extremely rare to see aurora at such a low latitude! @dstIndia (1/n)

At 11:42 PM on 21 Apr the Sun launched a coronal mass ejection towards the Earth. This CME (speed of 500-600 km/s) was associated with an M1 class solar flare. The CME arrived at Earth late on April 23 at 10 PM, says @wageeshmishra . (2/n)

This geoeffective CME led to an excellent night for auroral activity. The aurora came to lower-than-usual latitudes overnight leading to rare sightings of from Europe, China & Ladakh in India. Such a severe geomagnetic storm last occurred in 2015 says @wageeshmishra (3/n)
Today marks the 316th death-anniversary of Badshāh Muhi-ud Dīn Muhammad #Aurangzeb Alamgīr (R.A.).
His long reign (1658-1707) consolidated the largest and wealthiest land-empire in Indian #history and was arguably the most socially-diverse dispensation to ever rule #India.

Even critics of Aurangzeb (R.A.), such as the historian Sir Jadunath Sarkar concede, "Aurangzeb’s Indian empire was vaster than that of Ashoka, Samudragupta, & Harshavardhan”.

The reign of Aurangzeb (R.A.) was based on 3 pillars:
1. Military expansion.
2. Islamic jurisprudence and a centralised justice system.
3. Adherence to his Indo-Timurid heritage.
This helped consolidate his empire, but it also depended on his persona for sustained success.

Since last summer's visit to Tibet by Xi Jinping -- the first by him as president -- the Chinese authorities have been rapidly building defence infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control indicating that they are preparing for a long period of tension with India.
Construction of all the planned 624 'Xiaokang' model well-off border defence villages, which had been accelerated, was announced to have been completed on January 7, 2022.

China uses local laws, pressure groups (brainwashed &/or paid?), 'democratic institutions' to its advantage.
China failed in #Doklam. China has not succeeded in eastern #Ladakh to brow beat us.

India 🇮🇳 did QPQ Operations dominating China's Moldo garrison forcing China to withdraw from certain friction points. There are other aces up India's sleeve forcing China to build rapidly & construct a bridge on PangongTso (Aksai Chin is Indian territory too) #India should object

They (China) are becoming more n more aggressive and we share land borders with them. Its time for us to start looking at our strategies as to how we are going to deal with the two borders... aggressive adversaries, Pak on Western front & China on the North: CDS Gen Bipin Rawat
We need to also start looking at transformation for the betterment and ensuring the national security architecture that we want to evolve is capable of handling the threats that are emerging. To do this we need jointmanship amongst all the security forces: Gen Rawat at @iicdelhi

1/3 News of DEADLIEST #Rafale coming to India in Jan 2022 is followed by news of #PK expanding it’s NUCLEAR arsenal with more warheads. Apparently right now they hv abt 165 warheads. They also use “tac nukes”. So how is INDIA planning to make RAFALE deadlier?
2/3 India specific enhancements incld radar enhancements, Israeli helmet-mounted displays, low-band jammers to towed decoy sys, engine capability for "cold start" frm high-altitudes like #Ladakh. Our video with @mjavinod sir on Rafales.
3/3 Once India gets 36th Rafale in Jan, all the Rafales will undergo “software certification”, ostensibly. And what are “tac nukes”? These r tactical nukes, in simple words smaller versions of actual nukes, which one of the PK minister hd described as nukes weighing in grams. 😄
