#LosingPlanesWithoutFight

America is all bluster. Can't take on Afghanistan. Can't take on even Houthis.

Yes, the United States lost two F/A-18 fighter jets during its recent military campaign against Yemen's Houthi rebels, though neither loss was due to direct enemy fire. Details of the Incidents

1. First F/A-18 Loss (April 28, 2025):

An F/A-18E Super Hornet was lost when the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier made a sudden evasive maneuver to avoid a suspected Houthi missile or drone attack in the Red Sea.

#InTheHeatIfTheMoment
The controversy surrounding the Kalaburagi district administration's handling of the May 21, 2025 incident centers on the alleged confinement of BJP Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, during a visit to Chittapur.

According to Narayanaswamy, while he was staying at a government guest house, Congress workers surrounded the premises and locked him inside his room, preventing him from participating in a scheduled Tiranga Yatra.

#SECULARSHAM!
Secular means "not connected with religious or spiritual matters.

A "Secular State" must therefore have, nothing to do with ' religious or spiritual matters.

Quite the contrary, the Indian State actively and selectively interferes, in religious institutions and affairs, to deeply harm or inordinately appease & benefit certain communities

India is NOT SECULAR, not because of something we have DONE TO Muslims.

We are NOT SECULAR because of what WE HAVE DONE TO Hindus.

An Islamo-Left analysis of the Haryana Eletion results:

• It is SOMEHOW BAD for the BJP to have united the non-dominant Jat caste vote! 
[@scroll appears to be on the side of the dominant 20% upper caste Jats ]
scroll.in/article/107422… • According to @scroll, THIS  is the BJP's specific fault!! 

"Apart from its traditional vote bank of Punjabi Hindus & Haryanvi Brahmins, it garnered support from backward class communities – numerically large & varied groups that previously never voted on unified lines"

Its primary role is to drive sustainable development goals, foster cooperative federalism, and facilitate economic transformation, through strategic policy design and implementation.

Here are some key achievements of Niti Aayog so far:

What seems paradoxical is only so because we go by the Western construct of "If you are not with Ukraine, you must be with Russia and vice versa".

Actually, India has its own interests in both nations and has taken the position that

youtube.com/live/TJGb1PpMw… THEY CANNOT RESOLVE THEIR PROBLEM THRU WAR,
BUT ONLY THROUGH DIALOGUE & DISCUSSION. When such is India's stand and its readiness to act as an honest broker, why would Narendra Modi not greet both leaders with equal warmth & goodwill.

#ObscuringTheCrimes
Of course all civilisations within themselves have "common human values".

What Tharoor omits to mention is HOW CIVILISATIONS HAVE DEALT WITH ONE ANOTHER.

And THAT has in the main been determined by the dominant religion. The Abrahamaic faiths have in the main been:
* Exclusivist
* Expansionist
* And violent

That is because it is rooted in Dogma which simply cannot tolerate disbelief. The disbelieving must be converted, made to pay for disbelief or exterminated.

#AHinduJudas
"especially freedom, fraternity, equality, respect for difference & protection of diversity, which are not necessarily traditional Indian values,"

Read "Hindu" instead of "Indian'.

THIS GROSS UNTRUTH IS WHAT A "SOPHISTICATED HINDU" FEEDS OUR KIDS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. The truth is that it is "Hindu values" which gave

* Refuge to Christians & Jews in the first century,

* Which allowed Muslim Arabs to marry our women in the 7th century in Kerala,

* Which gave refuge to Zoroastrians & Tibetan Buddhists & many others.

#SillyCommunist
What a silly fellow you r Sitaram:
* You Communists literally throttled Indian Industry with the licence-permit Raj,for which a whole generation of entrepreneurs & India paid the price.

* You murdered West Bengal & brought the great city of Kolkota to her knees. * In Tripura & Kerala you wreaked havoc

Now you gloat that even if India develops it's a) Per capita Income will be low b) We will still be behind your Chinese masters.

Did it not occur to your tiny brain that the reason why China leapt forward was due to unbridled capitalism?

#ImmatureGiriraj
Wodehouse said " The saddest words in the English language are "it might have been".

On a serious note:
* It is criminally stupid for a Union Minister to give vent to such an opinion.

* For one, Partition is done & dusted. We can't turn the clock back. * The REALITY is that there are 200 million Muslims in India.

*Of these nearly 180 million are native Indian Pasmanda Muslims, who are being led by the nose by an Ashraf elite, representing the 20 million who 'claim' Arbi/Irani/Turkish descent.

#UnderstandingHinduism

The good Doctor Hoodbhoy has little understanding of Hinduism.

It is so unlike Abrahamaic faiths, such as Islam.

The ultimate philosophic basis for Sanathana Dharma is that we are all part of the ONE UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS,

which is called Brahman [not to be confused with Brahmin]. 

It is this philosophic understanding, of the true nature of the Universe we inhabit, that permits the worrship of many Deities, each of whom is the embodiment of the highest of particular attributes,

#ChinaPathNotForIndia
The Chinese are single- minded. 

* When they followed Communism they did it fanatically and killed millions of their fellow countrymen & women without compunction during the so-called Cultural Revolution.

* When they implemented the One Child Policy, they did so  ruthlessly & callously. The cruelties that must have been inflicted in enforcing it can only be imagined.

* Even today the Chinese have traded many freedoms,  for a better standard of living.

#UnforgivableIgnorance
The problem is people like @SecBlinken don't know the first thing about India. Abrahamaics attach the greatest value to "conversion", that is taking God to the pagans.

As far as Sanathana Dharma or Hinduism is concerned, proselytizing and conversion are considered stupid & silly.

It never goes out to preach the Word. Sanathana Dharma believes that there are many paths to the SAME TRUTH.

What Hindus forgot is that other religions don't have such broad and noble views.

"Finally, we believe in directly dealing with absolute poverty.

So, rather than get involved in corrosive debates about inequality, which is jamming up policies in the west, we are directly dealing with absolute poverty, whether it

The story itself says caste assertion among OBCs and SCs began 20 years ago.

That is 40 years after the DK/DMK came to power swearing to wipe out caste.

What they have achieved in 40 years is to encourage:

• Unfettered conversions to Christianity & Islam. • Takeover of Hindu Temples for loot

•  Perpetuation & deepening caste divides for political power.

This story by Johanna Deeksha is about a fight between a Thevar -OBC boy and an Arunthitar SC boy in which the Thevar boy was killed.

#NalandaReAwakening
Why did it take us so long to rebuild Nalanda?

Because we grossly underestimate:

• The power of selective knowledge to re-direct our minds thru distortion of facts & their interpretation, in which the use of language is a very important tool. • Take Nalanda, for example.

Simply saying that the great Nalanda University  was "sacked by Bakhtiyar Khiji", in a litany of such conquests does not give it great significance without amplifying

#WhatRajeevSaid
This is a huge sweeping generalization statement that implies no one can build secure digital hardware. Wrong.

@elonmusk 's view may apply to US n other places - where they use regular compute platforms to build Internet connected Voting machines. But Indian EVMs are custom designed, secure and isolated from any network or media - No connectivity, no bluetooth, wifi, Internet. ie there is no way in. Factory programmed controllers that cannot be reprogrammed.
