While we celebrate #NationalTechnologyDay, here are some delightful moments that have become history.

12-Sep'96: Indian envoys to UN Prakash Jha & Arundhati Ghose reaffirmed nation's refusal to sign a nuclear test ban treaty. (Observe the body language :-)
1/

Then PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's first address to the nation after the successful n-test conducted on 11-May'98, followed by a press statement by the Chief of DRDO Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam who supervised Pokharan-II.

What a proud moment for every Indian!

2/

The chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Richard Shelby reacted on "colossal failure of US intelligence in not detecting India's nuclear test".

Media bombard him with uncomfortable questions. 14-May'98 (the next day after the second test in 13May)
3/

If the first test on the 11th May was not enough for the USA to absorb, India successfully conducted another on 13th May 1998.

CNN news coverage on 11th, 12th & 13th May (left to right)

4/

NYT, FPJ coverage and WaPo Op-ed by Victor Gilinsky & Paul Leventhal (President of Nuclear Control Institute) - "India Cheated" :D

US called his ambassador, sanctioned India, embarrassed CIA & then some vent out frustration by writing articles. Overall Full meltdown!
5/

Pakistan then PM Nawaz Sharif was visiting Kazakistan when he got the news of Pokhran-II.

The cry and complaint to the USA were obvious. But India was ready for all these global reactions.

6/

Even the opposition in India couldn't digest it well. All across party lines, issued mixed statements.

CNN took advantage (obviously) and covered it in their series of absorption (left pic)

7/

Then POTUS Bill Clinton urging India to halt the n-program and lecturing some restraint. He warned India had threatened the stability of Asia, addressing the US naval Academy.
22-May'98

8/

Grand salute to all who brought the glorious moment to India by flawless execution of 'Operation Shakti'.
Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, Dr R Chidambaram, Dr K. Santhanam, Dr Anil Kakodkar, Indian Army & all involved scientists.

FACT CHECK-

Hamdard (Rooh Afza maker) claimed that "each glass that you enjoy contributes to the nation building".

This claim is disputed. Let me tell you why!

1/4

To start with Hamdard is a WAQF property since 1948. The owners made some arrangement of keep the company & family running and the part pledged to the God.

The arrangements were made in the name of (a) Khandani Income and (b) Quomi Income

2/

After reserving 1/8 part (ultimately for muwwalis caretakers) of

Khandani Income is for personal (family) needs 1/4th and rest for community). Net net 75% as WAQF charity. In fact Hamdard has taken tax exemption on this Quomi income part.

How Abu Salem escaped the death penalty in the 1993 Mumbai Serial blasts case ; and so can Tahawwur Rana too?

Here is a small explanation!

Abu Salem was extradited from Portugal in 2005 and according to the extradition treaty....
🧵
1/8

India cannot impose the death penalty or a sentence more than 25 years of imprisonment on him.

Salem recently argued in court that he had already served 25 years in 2025, including his time in custody before extradition and while in Portugal.

2/

However, the Supreme Court held that his sentence officially began in 2005, meaning he completes 25 years in Indian custody only by 2030.

Now, the SC has directed the Maharashtra government and the Centre to respond to his plea for release.

They made Aurangzeb a 'secular ruler'.
They glorified Khilafat as 'unity'.
But they cleverly erased C. Sankaran Nair - the man who exposed the Truth of Moplah, the burning facts!
#KesariChapter2 #SankaranNair

1/6

A staunch nationalist lawyer, Nair never minced words. He said Congress’ Khilafat obsession led to the mass murder of Hindus in #MoplahMassacre. He documented the violence, the forced conversions.. and the r@pes.
And for that- he was CANCELLED by the Congress 'ecosystem'.

2/

While Congress tiptoed, Nair roared, “This wasn’t a peasant uprising - it was a bloodbath of Hindus!”.
He exposed how Khilafat turned into a cover for communal cleansing.

But speaking up for Hindus = unforgivable sin for Congress. So, they buried him.

When there's no consensus on a fancy family dinner, everyone ends up with a "mixed-veg."

Is the WAQF Amendment Bill a political version of the same?🕌

Let's see in a blink if you got a piece of panner or carrot🥕!
🧵
1/

Start with Hits (what has changed):
✅Non-Muslim representation in Waqf Boards adds an amount of parity

✅Mandatory Registration reduces arbitrary claims over land by enforcing strict docs of ownership.

2/

✅District Collector empowerment shifts a significant power from Waqf Boards to a govt body.

✅No 'Default' Waqf ownership of properties without legal verification.

Propaganda US journalist Raphael Satter OCI is cancelled for several violations.

Habitual offender Hanna Petersen writes Satter denied he ever conducted journalistic activity in India. Which is outright lie.

Wait, there is more to it, much deeper.

1/

First of all, Satter lied in the court that he is not doing any journalism in India & have visited only for family purposes. Here are two such examples- note that Satter was among first one who broke Pegasus fake story which was never proven till date.

2/

Second, such story was against Indian startup Appin Association where he is still facing defamation suits. In this story, he violated all journalistic standards by publishing someone else picture (knowingly) instead of targeted one because he wasn't able to get right picture.
