From 2005 to 2025, #USA national debt exploded from $7.9T to over $36.4T — that’s over 360% growth, with nothing productive to show.
When foreign central banks stopped buying enough Treasuries, the U.S. pulled out its favorite trick: #Tariffs.
• 100% on Chinese EVs
• 50% on semiconductors
• 25% on steel/aluminum
With double the price, @POTUS thought he would pay USA's debt.
China replied-No rare earth magnets to USA
(China controls 87% of global supply.
Result? The U.S. realized it has no backup plan until it can reshore supply chains.
As far as India, it doesn’t need the world — the world needs India.
India’s exports in FY 2024-$776B
Imports-$854B

India still runs a robust economy — powered by 1.4B people, growing domestic demand, and a government not funded by foreign debt.
That’s real resilience.
#PresidentTrump tried the sweet talk first:“Hey India, ditch Russia, join us.”
Then came the threats:
Tariffs.
Digital tax warnings.
Visa blackmail.

But India under #PMModi doesn’t flinch. It doesn’t dance to someone else’s tune.

Is #Hinduism a Scientific #Religion?
Some truths reveal themselves slowly. Others sit in plain sight, waiting for us to look at them with fresh eyes. Hinduism has always been a living, breathing system of knowledge—not just a religion, but a way of seeing the universe.
Today, as science pushes the boundaries of reality, it keeps stumbling upon ideas that Hinduism has carried for centuries. Coincidence? Or are we simply rediscovering what was never lost?

Hindu texts describe an expanding universe. In 1929, Edwin Hubble discovered that the
universe is expanding, changing our understanding of existence. Yet, thousands of years before modern astronomy, the Rig Veda quietly stated: "The universe expands and contracts endlessly."
This isn’t a poetic metaphor-it’s a direct description of the cyclic nature of the

Why #USA simultaneously cause instability and offer support to maintain control or influence?
Historically, the U.S. has pursued global primacy through a blend of hard power (military, economic) and soft power (values, institutions, diplomacy). But when its dominance is
threatened or rivals grow strong, certain strategic behaviors emerge:

1.The U.S. resists the emergence of peer competitors,especially in Asia, the Middle East &Eurasia.
This leads to tactics that might stall or fragment the rise of regional alliances among developing nations.
In #SouthAsia, U.S.A. has alternately favored #Pakistan or #India, depending on its own strategic interests (Cold War vs. post-9/11 vs. #China containment).

In the #MiddleEast, it has supported conflicting regimes at different times (#Iraq vs. #Iran, #Israel vs. Gulf states).

#Upanishads highlight RENUNCIATION as essential for transcending duality and attaining LIBERATION. These verses show that letting go of attachment, ego & desire are necessary to realize the SELF (Atman) as Non-Dual, Eternal & one with Brahman.
1. #MundakaUpanishad 3.2.4
"Having examined all worldly actions, the wise one develops dispassion. Nothing eternal is gained by actions. Therefore, he turns to renunciation and approaches a realized teacher."

Renunciation arises naturally when one realizes that all worldly
pursuits are impermanent and cannot lead to the highest truth. This is the starting point of the inner journey to the Self.

2. #Kathopanishad 2.3.14
"When all desires that dwell in the heart fall away, then the mortal becomes immortal and attains Brahman even here."

Why does every finite thing, on deep analysis, lead to the Infinite?

Why the dependence of the finite on the Infinite is the scheme of things & all finite objects exist within a larger context?

The finite has a beginning and end, is composed of parts & is subject to change.
On deep inquiry, we find it is not self-sustained—it depends on something beyond itself for its existence.

This leads to the question: What is the substratum that supports and pervades everything?

#Vedanta answers: That substratum is BRAHMAN- INFINITE, UNCHANGING, ETERNAL.
Every finite name and form is a manifestation of BRAHMAN.
The world( jagat) as name and form imposed on underlying unity.

The Upanishads declare:“Sarvam khalvidam Brahma” – All this is verily BRAHMAN (#ChandogyaUpanishad 3.14.1)

The finite is a pointer, a doorway to the

A divided #Hindu majority Bharat seems to be an easy target for enemies. #Army experts say, India is certainly not fighting a two front war of #China & #Pakistan but a 3.5 front war that includes #Bangaladesh & the Half-Front of #antinational parties are hellbent on
balkanising Bharat.

And today, that enemy is getting exposed—line by line.

What I’m about to reveal may rattle your soul, because this… isn’t just strategy, it’s

The next war against India is being plotted just 12 kilometers from our border. Not in #Islamabad, not in #Beijing but in #Bangladesh.
