    After months of huddles & quiet hustles; intense brainstorming; periods of great ecstasy and moments of intense despair—we are so delighted to announce our new start-up venture - @naav_ai NAAV AI that empowers languages with AI-Powered Content Transformation. Inspired by the

    After 3 harrowing weeks of hospitalization & near-death experience due to Covid, really happy to be discharged. Long road to recovery given the extent of damage, but a major part is hopefully behind. I'm so deeply touched & overwhelmed by the deluge of goodwill, msgs, prayers (1)

    Barely 4-5 hours before such a major #operation_sindoor, PM @narendramodi was meeting all of us on the sidelines of @abplive Summit, joking, casual talk, displaying not an iota of tension or anxiety. Truly, he's made of a different mould ✨🙏

    This is atrocious if even seeking peaceful legal recourse is disallowed in this violent manner...@Vishnu_Jain1 ji please take care and all our prayers and good wishes are with you 🙏
    Praying for the safety of @Vishnu_Jain1 amid heavy stone-pelting and arson by Islamists on a team sent by the court to conduct a survey of the Shahi Masjid in Sambhal. The mosque is said to be built by Babur by destroying a temple that venerates the last avatar of Lord Vishnu.

    Portuguese never imposed their faith; Goan inquisition never happened; Mahmud Ghazni admired Hindu architecture; never broke Somnath. "They became us"! Only Aryans invaded & Brahmins universally oppressed & invented the term patriarchy! #WhitewashHistory

    Feeling apologetic & ashamed of our past & identity has been the ploy to break our civilizational consciousness. As a practising Hindu PM @narendramodi has a right to wear his faith on his sleeve just as US President or UK PM take oath on Bible & their countries r still secular.

    Numbed after coming out seeing #TheKashmirFiles. Take a bow @vivekagnihotri for daring to tread a path noone did so far & bringing out truth as is- raw, gruesome & unpalatable. Demanding truth & #RightToJustice is our birthright & noone should any more be able to conceal it (1/n)

    Can't stop looking at the beauty that Ram Lalla has turned out to be. The curls, the bonny cheeks, the mystic smile and the divine aura. Huge shoutout & congratulations to State-mate & ace sculptor @yogiraj_arun for this labour of love. Was reading how while sculpting, a splinter

    Sorry @saurabhtop - no "micro pressure group" to write about Gyan Vapi history by "koi Vikram Sampath " ...if presenting history as it is, is identity politics & pressure, then so be it 😊.

    Amusing to see the microscopic scrutiny & questions on sources that my works r eliciting despite copious notes & references that I'm happy to share. If a fraction of such scrutiny had been done of works of "eminences" our historiography wouldn't be in the state that it is today!

    What mainstream media, filmmakers & establishment historians failed to do & tried to suppress for 3 decades, @vivekagnihotri has managed to dismantle in his 3 hr #KashmirFiles & united ppl like never before- united in pain; in the realisation that lies were fed to them as history
    फ़िल्म में @AnupamPKher जी का एक डाइयलोग है “जिस दिन भारत में सबको हमारा पूरा सच पता चलेगा उस दिन देखना पूरा भारत हमारे साथ खड़ा होगा”। माँ सरस्वती के आशीर्वाद से आज सारा भारत ही नहीं पूरा विश्व कश्मीरी हिंदुओं के साथ खड़ा है। #RightToJustice

    Conscious of the fact that a batallion of "professional" historians & some crazy trolls have begun discrediting me, my work & whatever I said at @IndiaToday conclave with Dr @ShashiTharoor & @sardesairajdeep . Selective screenshots of NCERT books (usual ploy!) to prove falsehood+
