A murder conspiracy from 1989 which brought two of the biggest business houses of India in direct confrontation.

The conspiracy to assassinate Nusli Wadia and how Reliance group was dragged into it.

The buried startling case & hidden theories behind. 🧵

1/
In July 1989, Mumbai Crime Branch arrested 2 different background men in a case.

One was a small time musician Arjun Babaria.

Another was Kirti Ambani, a senior manager who was head of Reliance PR. This made headlines.

Note- Kirti wasn’t related to the Ambani Family.

2/

A non exhaustive list of people who became a casualty of Shatru Hanta Yog of PM Modi’s kundali (as per astrologers).

1. Chimanbhai Patel- last significant congress leader from Gujarat who could become CM there.
Modi was tasked to start a campaign against him in state.

1/ 2. Keshubhai Patel.
Another ex CM of Gujarat.

Member of BJP, RSS. Was unhappy when Modi rose as PM candidate. Made a party which did not even a scratch to Modi & BJP. Merged with BJP later.

I shared one Raja Ravi Varma painting and you all liked it.

So, I am sharing another which is a lesser known masterpiece from Raja Ravi Varma’s works.

This painting is known as “Krishna Shishtai” or “Krishna as an envoy”.

1/ Story- Here Krishna is in court of Dhritrashtra with the peace offering of Yudhisthir. He did it as Yudhisthir was aware of impending doom by the great war.

But, Duryodhana was furious & ordered Dushasana to capture Krishna and himself took out his sword.

2/

Arguably, this painting “Victory of Indrajit” is best work of Raja Ravi Varma.

This painting has many characters, everyone with a story in their expressions, Varma showed his mastery with light & shadows in it.

1/ Theme- this is a scene where Indrajit, son of Ravana is presenting his war trophies to his father after defeating Indra.

He is looking towards Sachi, wife of Indra. His gaze is victorious. Standing at lower pedestal—hierarchy in family where his father & uncle is present.

2/

On 1 June 2025, Ukraine’s secret agency SBU carried out one of the nastiest drone attacks deep inside Russian territory.

Ukraine says its $2000 worth drones have struck losses of $7 Billion to Russia & took out 34% of Russian cruise missile carriers.

How did they do it?

1/ Head of SBU, Vasyl Malyuk oversaw Mission Spider Web and it took 1 year 6 months and 9 days to execute it. Ukraine kept patience.

Malyuk as chief of SBU is credited with exposure of 300+ Russian agents in Ukrainian govt setups.

Task was tough. It had to be cost effective.

2/

If you do not know about Devendra Sharma, you need to read this.

One of the most dangerous serial killers of India. Looked like a typical man who would offer you his food in railway journey.

125+ illegal kidney transplants, 50-100+ murders, several fraud, robbery charges.

1/ Devendra Sharma completed his BAMS & started as an Ayurveda practitioner.

In early 1990s, he was conned by someone with promise of gas agency in Jaipur & he lost ₹11 lacs. After that, he was steered towards crime.

He started small frauds here & there.

2/

Yesterday, Sikkim & India celebrated 50th anniversary of its merger with Indian Union.

Before that, it enjoyed special relations under its monarchy with India.

But, it all changed when an American married the king of Sikkim & led the eventual end of 300+ years old kingdom.

1/ Hope Cooke, an American citizen, married Palden Thondup Namgyal in 1963. Namgyal met her in Darjeeling when she was on a summer trip to India in 1959.

The wedding was covered by world media as she was one of the first Americans to marry in a royal house.

2/

After current exchanges and India’s exposure of Pakistan’s vulnerability, we are practically sitting on a time b*mb.

Too many things will change in near future of Indo-Pak conflict.

Pak will shift its focus on new doctrine (which is actually the old one before Zia ul Haq).

1/ In any case of aggression or terror attack. Pak saw what India will do. The response is different from anything we did in last 78 years.

We struck sites deep inside Pak. Attacked air bases. Targeted air defence, radars. Sent drones to check their capabilities.

2/

All experts worldwide today will agree off camera that Akash Defence system worked better than Iron Dome.

So, let me pay a little tribute to the man behind it and some other patriotic Indians who made it possible.

Save the 🧵 for times when you are in doubt about duty.

1/
Dr Prahlada Ramarao, a scientist with DRDO from Karnataka came from humble beginnings. Did engineering & had a job letter with BEL.

But, his mother sent him to study further at IISc Bangalore. While studying there he got job letter from VSSC, Thiruvananthapuram.

2/

I was wondering why Bangladeshis enter India in such a large number. Other people do not do it. Nepalis even go back after few years.

So, I tried to understand the mindset & conditioning of Bangladeshis behind this.

The reason is way older than we think.

1/ In 1905, Bengal was partitioned by the British. From 1905-1911, East Bengal province was virtually under the hands of Muslims.

It was a huge province. Here dark green & light green areas are East Bengal.

This East Bengal province gave the idea of Pakistan to Muslim League.

2/

There were 3 Civil Engineers of India who gave upper hand to India in control of Punjab waters in 1947.

If these 3 engineers were not there during partition of India, there was no Indian control on rivers.

Read how these technical patriotic men changed the history.

1/ Indian partition was being decided upon in early 1947.

Then Radcliffe came to India to make the line.

Indian luck was there that engineers AN Khosla, Sarup Singh were employed in Punjab irrigation works and Kanwar Sen was employed in Bikaner state water department.

2/

Indus River wasn’t the only issue between India & Pakistan. Remember East Pakistan too.

In 1961, India began construction of Farakka Barrage. World’s longest barrage with 109 gates. Massive structure to divert water from the Ganges.

India was diverting water to Hooghly.

1/
This forced Pakistan & later Bangladesh to sign Ganga Water Treaty.

This treaty will tell what type of fools Pakistanis are.

How water is divided here is funny.

If river has limited water, then 50-50, if slightly more water, India will take bigger share.

2/

In 1980s, my Tau ji and his friends went to Jammu & Kashmir. They thought they will also do some sightseeing in beautiful state.

So, they entered J&K early morning and their bus was stopped somewhere by 3 heavily armed men. Maybe driver was into it and he deliberately took them from that route.

1/ These armed men first segregated men & women. Asked them to come out of bus one by one. Checked ID cards. There were many who came specifically for some exam. These terrorists hit some of them & abused.

They saw ID cards of my tau ji & his friends. These were 5 friends. The terrorists found out these 5 boys are from Ajmer. They were made to stand separately.

2/

Chalo aaj ek baat batata hoon isi par jo koi book ya article me nahi milegi. Read it carefully.

In 1971, India captured 93,000 soldiers of Pakistan Army in Bangladesh Liberation War.

Most of the officers in these soldiers had direct link with the roots of British Indian Army. Someone’s father served, someone just joined in 1940s and went to Pakistan. Still remembered their commanding officers. Their Hindu & Sikh batchmates.

1/ So, in 1971 war, Indian Army treated Pak soldiers according to all conventions. Almost all officers of Pak Army got special treatment in India as POW due to their direct old linkages.

Someone’s father called to their Indian counterpart and requested. Some General here remembered their old Muslim General or friend and got to know his son is in 93,000. Treated him like a son here due to old memories and nostalgia.

2/

Mount Abu.

A hill station which became “Kashmir Issue” of Rajasthan and Gujarat.

Once Sardar Patel did a historical injustice by cutting it from Rajasthan & gave it to Gujarat.

Rajasthani leaders fought a political battle to get it back.

Why & how all this happened? 🧵

1/ After independence, Rajasthani princely started merging with India.

Border of Bombay state of India touched borders of Rajasthan states.

Sirohi, a princely state with Mount Abu hill station was at the border. Sardar Patel merged this with Bombay instead of Rajputana.

2/

Swachh Bharat Mission, launched by PM Modi was the first defining moment I started to understand dehat mentality.

How dehatis have fundamental differences with people who are trying hard to make our country developed.

How? 🧵

1/ So, my grandfather left the village in his youth. Still had strong ties there. He had a huge family. In our village houses, we always had toilets. Perhaps, many brothers, nephews in government jobs helped in change of attitudes.

They worked in cities, lived in quarters with toilets, so they made toilets in village houses too.

2/

The biggest threat to Independent India’s integrity did not come from some leader of J&K or Tamil Nadu. It also did not come from some Naxal or Communist.

It came from a Naga leader called AZ Phizo. Even before Indian independence, he started campaigning for independent Nagaland in 1946.

After independence, he met Nehru thrice & could not reach any understanding.

1/ India (according to Nagas) had no relation with Nagaland. Indians were as aliens to them as the Martians.

Nagas were frustrated by Indian ignorance of the Naga society & were scared of huge Indian population which could completely alter the fabric of Nagaland.

Divided in 15 major tribes, Nagas had their own struggles and wars between tribes since many centuries.

2/

Seeing posts about XL condoms since yesterday. So, sharing something important about it.

Men have to understand condoms. It’s their duty.

Most condoms sold as XL or even XXL are fake. Companies play ego game.

Then what are real XL condoms? Some of you need them too!

1/ Condoms have 2 parts. Length & width. Length is manageable even with a wrong sized condom.

It is the width where you need to find your thing.

Normal condoms are 53-55 mm in width. In Asia, they are 50-53 mm.

Above 55 mm we have 55-57 mm size. That is XL.

2/

-Trigger warning-

These 5 criminals are monsters caught in 2022.

In Dhariyawad of Pratapgarh district in Rajasthan, police caught some tribal men in a loot case.

Their phones shocked the police. Multiple videos of gang r@pes, most with the minors.

7 men were caught.

1/ This gang had 2 real brothers Deepak & Pushkar & had daughters too.

The gang members worked normal jobs in day, used to get drunk in nights & set up an ambush on highways.

Women on bikes were targets. They used to follow the bike, beat the man, & drag the woman to forest.

2/

Meet Triloki Nath Kaul, one of the most famous Indian diplomats.

In 1954, he was sent to China for Indo-China border settlement and fate of Tibet.

This guy got honey trapped by a Chinese woman there. He had a wife & kids in India.

1/ Shamelessly, he asked permission to marry that Chinese woman.

Not only that, he also had the audacity to ask for 2 months leave for his honeymoon with that woman.

All that WHILE SUCH IMPORTANT INDO-CHINA TALKS WERE GOING ON.

2/

Why BJP has a consolidated Hindu vote bank? Why they are winning elections after elections?

It all started on 25 September 1990. A lot of people here do not have this context. So, just sharing how Ram Rath Yatra of Advani changed BJP, India, Hindus, and politics forever.

1/ In 1989-90, RSS realised that the time has come to start a movement for Ayodhya temple.
RSS thinkers were concerned that Congress can pick the issue.

Why Congress would? It is laughable some would think in present times.

So, let me tell you why Congress could.
