Indian mothers are the backbone of every dream, silently fueling progress with every step they take. They may not always get the recognition they deserve, but their impact is undeniable. Image
From teaching us our first lessons in kindness and resilience to pushing us to aim higher, they shape the future in ways words can't always capture.
It’s easy to celebrate individual success, but let’s not forget the silent strength and sacrifices that allow those successes to happen — the mothers who are always there, guiding and supporting without hesitation. Their love and wisdom build the foundation for everything we achieve.

When the British opened fire on a peaceful gathering at Jallianwala Bagh in 1919, they left behind more than just bodies. They left behind heartbreak. They left behind widows.

Among them were two women — Attar Kaur and Rattan Devi — whose defiance has been quietly buried by history.

#JallianwalaBagh #AttarKaur #RattanDevi #IndianHistory #UnsungHeroes #WomenInHistory #BritishRajImage
Attar Kaur was heavily pregnant when her husband, Bhagmal Bhatia, was killed in the massacre.

That night, surrounded by blood and death, she sat beside his body — offering water to the dying, holding space for strangers’ pain, even as her own heart broke.
The British returned later with Rs 50,000 — a hefty amount at the time — hoping it would help her “move on.”

But she refused. Twice. Not because she didn’t need the money — she was expecting her third child, alone.

But did you know that the first bite was taken 2,300 years ago—in the Mauryan court? The Arthashastra mentions Khaja, with Chanakya calling it "power sustenance"—a wheat-based energy bar for warriors and scholars. Image

Imagine curing tooth sensitivity in just 10 minutes — no repeated dentist visits required. Thanks to Theranautilus, a Bengaluru-based startup born at IISc, this revolutionary solution is becoming a reality.

The journey began with Dr. Peddi Shanmukh Srinivas, a dentist specialising in endodontic microsurgery.

#worldoralhealthday #oralhealth #dentalcare #RootCanal #Dentistry #NanoTechnologyImage
While training in advanced root canal treatments, Srinivas encountered a frustrating challenge — some procedures required extreme precision that human hands simply couldn’t achieve.
He envisioned smaller, more precise instruments, but that idea seemed impossible without compromising dexterity. His search for a solution led him to Professor Ambarish Ghosh and his groundbreaking work on magnetic nanorobots.
