It’s not just in 🇮🇳 that scientists are dying mysterious deaths

In Iran, scientists working on d covert nuclear programme hv been murdered with alarming regularity

Ardeshir Hossein-Pour died of ‘gas suffocation’ while Massoud Ali Mohammadi died in a bomb blast
Iran gave heavy security cover when d systematic killings came to light

Unfortunately, 🇮🇳 hasn’t learnt d lessons
There has been next to no media coverage of these deaths n suicides

But apparently, losing ppl who r imp to national interest is a thing India seems to be fine with

The Malegaon bomb blast will go down as a textbook example where a scooter was all it took to label a billion Hindus as terrorist in their own country… No solid evidence just a vehicle that wasn’t even in Sadhvi Pragya’s possession anymore..

People talk nostalgically about "social harmony before 2014" ? LOL.🤡
Imagine the social fabric of a govt that thought it was perfectly acceptable to brand Hindus as terrorists just to push the line that “terrorism has no religion.”… Between 2006 & 2007, India was hit by a wave of Islamic terror attacks. The UPA couldn’t control them & Opposition was questioning them on national security... Also with elections around the corner, they desperately needed narrative control & so “saffron terror” was invented & if that wasn’t insulting enough, here’s the 26/11... Kasab was caught live on camera on same day with eyewitnesses. Despite this, Digvijay Singh & his co released a book in 2010 claiming it was “RSS ki Saazish”.
Seriously ? After proofs & a confession from the terrorist himself they still blamed the RSS & promoted “Hindu extremism” & “saffron Terror” ?
Now, what does that say about the intent of those in power back then ??Image
Meet the man Lt. Col. Purohit, a textbook example of a scapegoat in the name of political balancing. An Army Intelligence officer who infiltrated Abhinav Bharat as part of his duty, with his unit fully aware of his role…. Yet, he was branded a terrorist, accused of sourcing RDX but in 17 years, not a shred of proof surfaced linking him to any explosive, weapon, or violent act.

For this, he spent nearly 9 years in jail without conviction... His only "crime" ? He once met Sadhvi Pragya, who herself was arrested because a scooter once owned by her was found at the Malegaon blast site And after years of humiliation, isolation, and trial when finally acquitted his words were simple, dignified, and telling:

“Thank you for giving me a fair opportunity to serve country again.” 🙏

So when they say “the social fabric before 2014 was intact” … My dear folks, this was their idea of harmony🤷‍♀️
Meet Major Ramesh Upadhyay
A decorated Army veteran turned accused, arrested not for planting bombs or handling explosives but for allegedly attending ideological meetings. His only real connection? A few intercepted calls and his presence in gatherings of Abhinav Bharat. That’s it. No RDX, no eye-witnesses, no direct link to the Malegaon blast.
Yet he spent nearly nine years behind bars.Image

I was looking for the PDF of the updated NCERT Class 8 Social Science book after the recent announcement about corrections. But while searching, I stumbled upon the Class 6 Social Science book & to my absolute surprise, it’s a treasure trove of changes. It's pure gold. The tone, the approach, the cultural grounding everything feels more rooted & relevant. If this is the direction NCERT is now taking, it's genuinely refreshing... 😀

Sharing a few pages from the book here that truly stood out to me:
1. Chapter 3 opens with a reference from the Atharva Veda, clearly stating that the ancient texts of our land spoke about the Earth & climate protection 1000's of years ago. It’s a strong reminder that caring for the environment is not a new or Western concept it’s deeply rooted in our own civilization.Image
2. Aryabhata’s Quote in Chapter 1: The very first chapter, “Locating Places on the Earth,” opens with a profound quote by Aryabhata (circa 500 CE), acknowledging the Earth’s spherical shape and its position in space... It’s fascinating to see such ancient scientific thought being recognized right at the start of the textbook.Image
3. The “Don’t Miss Out” section reveals that long before Europe adopted the Greenwich Meridian, India had its own prime meridian called Madhya Rekha, which passed through Ujjain. Ujjain was a renowned center for astronomical research, and great minds like Varāhamihira lived and worked there 1,500 years ago.
This kind of information is rarely taught in mainstream textbooks, you usually only hear about it when visiting specific heritage sites or reading niche history. Including it in a standard NCERT textbook is a fantastic move, especially coz it connects students with their own intellectual legacy. It also rightly reclaims India’s contributions to astronomy, geography, and science.Image

Unlike Odin or Zeus, Rama is shown as a human, with a lineage, kingdom, mapped journey, & a birth chart. Not some abstract deity. So where's the comparison?
If your version of scientific temper means being too lazy to investigate, then your denial is the problem, not the believer’s faith.

> Valmiki gave exact planetary positions at Rama’s birth: Sun in Aries, Moon in Punarvasu, Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Libra, Venus in Pisces. Stellarium software confirms that this alignment occurred only once in 25,920 years on 10 January 5114 BCE.

> The Ikshvaku dynasty, to which Rama belonged, is also mentioned in Buddhist texts, and genetic studies from CCMB Hyderabad confirm that the Indian gene pool shows unbroken continuity for over 11,000 years with no signs of the so-called Aryan invasion.
> Valmiki described Lanka as 100 yojanas across the sea (~1,200 km), and the distance from Rameshwaram (Tamil Nadu) to Sri Lanka is around 48 km across the sea via a chain of shoals, exactly where NASA's satellite imagery shows a man-made structure, known as Ram Setu.

> Studies show sea levels were 3 meters lower around 7000 years ago, meaning the Setu was walkable, just as Ramayana says.

(Funnily the westerners started calling it as Adam's Bridge, which is accepted by these people but as soon as Ram Setu is shown as proof of Rama's example it turns into discussion.)Image
> Over 100 places from Ayodhya to Lanka have been GPS mapped including Tamasa, Chitrakoot, Dandakaranya, Panchavati (Nasik), Kishkindha (Hampi), Rameshwaram, & even Lanka all aligning perfectly with the sequence, geography, and terrain described in Valmiki’s Ramayana. Image

HISTORY ALERT ‼️

Within 8 years of the Prophet's death in 632 AD, Islamic armies had conquered Persia, Syria, Spain & Egypt. Between 640 - 709 AD they had reduced the whole of North Africa.

But it took them 70 long years to secure their first foothold on the soil of India.
Caliph Umar (634-644 AD):- Naval invasion against Thana of Maharashtra & Broach of Gujarat.

Caliph Ali (656-661AD):- Sent 6 armies by land.

All of them were repulsed with great slaughter.
When Hajjaj, governor of Iraq, asked d Caliph for permission to send another expedition to 🇮🇳,the Caliph wrote back: “This affair will be a source of great anxiety & so v must put it off, for every time an army goes, no.of Mussalmans r killed. So think no more of such a design."
