They weren’t trained for battle. They didn’t carry rifles or wear medals.

But when war struck in 1971, 300 women from Madhapar village answered a call that few would dare to.

With green sarees as camouflage and courage as their only shield, they rebuilt a bombed airstrip under the shadow of danger. Their work, completed in just 72 hours, helped India regain air power at a critical moment in the war.

Swipe to discover how these everyday women became extraordinary defenders of the nation, forever changing the meaning of bravery and patriotism.

A cow’s stomach just might be the key to India’s sewage crisis.
Sounds strange? It’s brilliant.

In the heart of Bengaluru, where lakes once caught fire due to untreated sewage, a group of innovators has turned to nature for answers. Their solution?

#Sustainability #WaterConservation #GreenTechnology #NaturalSewageTreatment #WastewaterRecycling #ECOSTPImage
A tech that mimics the digestion system of a cow — yes, you read that right! — to treat sewage without electricity, chemicals, or even operators.

The result?
✅Over 60 million litres of wastewater cleaned
✅Zero power consumed
✅Massive cost savings
✅And lakes saved from toxic pollutionImage
All thanks to the power of cow dung, microbes, plants, and a little bit of genius. Curious how it works?

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.
