#MultipolarWorld
Stating the obvious is the most easy thing to do.

Let's look at the world in a slightly different way.

Neither America, nor China , nor Russia are Superpowers.
None of them are able to do what they want by themselves.

* America can't subdue Iran
* China cant take over Taiwan despite all its resources

* Russia is unable to subdue Ukraine after 4 years of War

SO WE HAVE ENTERED A MULTIPOLAR WORLD AS JAISHANKAR SAID.

The Great Powers, too arrogant to use the appelation, call it a Polycentric World [@KlRajiv]
India's importance will, in fact, grow, not recede. The world will need a Growth Engine to propel it.

Today, that is clearly India.

India may end up becoming a benign Great Power, a kind of Great Power the World has not seen till date.

* Powerful enough to remain unchallenged.
* And Powerful enough to ensure that it's Writ For a New Co-operative Rules Based World Order runs through a combination of soft & hard power.

[ALL EXTRACTS ARE FROM CHAT GPT]

The paper by Charles Matthew Whish was titled:
“On the Hindu Quadrature of the Circle, and Infinite Series for π” -1835-

Whish didn’t say “Newton copied India.”

He was more measured—but his implication was clear:

Advanced mathematical ideas resembling calculus existed in India well before Newton.

Whish studied palm-leaf manuscripts attributed to Madhava of Sangamagrama and his successors.

What startled him:

They had infinite series expansions for π, sine, cosine, and arctangent
These were strikingly similar to the later work of Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

And crucially—they predated them by 200–300 years.

The Kerala School discovered key building blocks of Calculus earlier.

*CAN WE BUILD NEW IITs BY JUST WATCHING IPL?

It comes from Prof. Mayank Shrivastava,Professor at IISc Bengaluru, one of India’s leading researchers.

He asks: "India doesn’t lack money. Indians don’t lack money. What we lack is the vision to invest in the future."
Look at the numbers:

📌 IPL 2023 revenue: ₹11,770 crore
📌 BCCI surplus: ₹5,120 crore
📌 3-year IPL profits: ₹15,000 crore
📌 Potential tax (40%): Enough to build 10 new IITs
📌 Franchise profits: ₹800–1,200 crore/year →

Tax potential:₹6,000 crore/year for research
But here’s the irony:

⚠️ BCCI pays no income tax (charitable status)
⚠️ Research labs pay GST on equipment
⚠️ Bollywood, religious trusts, sports leagues = tax breaks

Dr. Shrivastava calls it out: “Entertainment is subsidised. Research is taxed.”

#ComradeManishaPande

* When a filmmaker clearly publishes a disclaimer regarding, both time line & facts, WHY ARE YOU BEIMG MORE LOYAL THAN NAPAKISTAN IN DISHING IT?

* Do you agree that Napakistan fought 4 wars against us?

* The Napak Army & the Jamaat carried out a systematic genocide of both Hindu & Muslim Bengalis all of which was document by Archer Blood in the Blood Telegrams?

* They killed 1000s of our civilians, bombing/shooting terrorist attacks.
If at the end of all this, as an Indian (assuming you are one) why would even a "propaganda" film against a vile enemy. BOTHER YOU SO MUCH that you try to tear it apart with more anger than even a Napakistani will muster (It is a hit in Napakistan-Pirated, of course)?

2010 (Appeal to Muslims globally)

In a message emphasizing unity & resistance, Khamenei said (roughly translated):

“…the major duty of the elite of the Islamic Ummah is… sympathy and assistance to the nations of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Kashmir…
and to engage in struggle and resistance against the aggressions of the United States, the Zionist regime….”

— This ties Kashmir to other Muslim conflicts in a broader ideological frame.

2017 Eid-ul-Fitr Remarks
Khamenei linked Kashmir with other conflicts like
Yemen and Bahrain and urged the Muslim world to act:

“The Muslim world should openly support people of… Kashmir and repudiate oppressors and tyrants who attacked [them].”

— This call frames Kashmir as part of a collective struggle.
