-In 2018, I assessed that 2025-35 would be a decade of wars
-That has come more or less true
-Now question arises — is #India ready for this decade?
-How should #IndianArmy #IndianNavy & #IndianAirForce prepare prepare for it
-Even bigger question is — how do we utilize it to our advantage

Justice and human rights cannot be ignored. Stand with Qasim and Suleman as they demand justice for their imprisoned father, Imran Khan. He must be granted immediate access to his lawyers, family and doctors. We urge international human rights organisations and UN officials to raise this issue and call for his fundamental rights to be respected.

It’s a dark day for #Riyadh, proving that despite spending billions backing #Pakistan and #Turkey , both nations abandoned #Saudi in its hour of need.
-UK to deploy RAF Typhoon jets to #SaudiArabia for counter-air missions against Houthi drone & missile attacks—protecting cities & critical infrastructure
-What happened to #Pakistan... oh yes they condemned the Houthi attacks & reaffirmed solidarity with Saudi Arabia

China’s authorities must not mistake the world’s silence for acceptance.
#VoiceofUyghur
Ilham Tohti’s imprisonment demands scrutiny, not forgetfulness
Release the scholar, restore family contact and end the intimidation of peaceful voices.

India’s R&D intensity remains stuck near 0.84% of GDP even as absolute spending has risen. China is already at ~2.8%.
The gap is not just money. It is the difference between funding prototypes and building the core science expertise, continuous process knowledge, private R&D capacity & demand-side commitment that turn research into proprietary industrial capability.
Mechanisms like iDEX help at the early stage, but they cannot substitute for higher national intensity + clear pathways from TRL-7/8 to multi-year production.
Without that, talent& pilots continue to outrun institutional conversion. Do read the article by @InsightGL

#India must step up.
Too many domestic companies rely on low-risk assembly, licensing, and "white-labelling".
Real innovation demands that the private sector invest heavily in original intellectual property, labs, and long-term product development.
-If #India wants to become $40-50 trillion economy by 2050 then R&D spending has to increase
-So, are we spending enough or repeating the mistakes of the 80s?
That and much more:

-This is the list of 'World’s 30 Largest Banks'
-There is not even a single bank from #India
-India needs to work on these aspects despite all the opposition from countries & people who don't want the country to grow

Very aptly covered - there is no place for starlink in India 🇮🇳. It is not in the strategic interest of Bharat 🇮🇳. Need to promote only Indian 🇮🇳 companies which have a track record of “India First” initiatives and provide DATA at reasonable cost down to the lowest strata .

#Starlink’s performance in #Ukraine has raised serious reliability concerns, sparking opposition to its launch in #India.
Some so called nationalist prominent #Indian figures pushing for the service are compromising national sovereignty by aligning too closely with #US interests.

Joy oh Joy!:-)
The happiest time for an author is when he receives his author copies of a new book :-)
A journey in writing that started 6 years ago. I didn't think then that I would publish a single book, let alone 5 at a rate of nearly one a year.
MAHAKSHANA!

-And unreliable Starlink wanted to come to #India
-Sadly, some prominent Indians were promoting it
Great news
HAL’s UH-M (twin-engine naval utility helicopter) is quietly taking shape as the Chetak’s indigenous successor. Folding rotor/tail, flotation gear…and *built* for shipborne ops. Maiden flight expected around November (as per a media byte by CMD HAL). Deliveries from 2027. Total number (IN + ICG) = 76.
Some defence blogs (especially idrw @idrwalerts ) also say that the UH-M is planned to be armed with the indigenous NASM-SR (Naval Anti-Ship Missile–Short Range). These reports say the Navy has requested it & that NASM-SR has already been tested from Sea King helicopters. Mainstream reporting and @HALHQBLR / @indiannavy statements only mention “provision for weapons integration” & “limited combat roles”. There is no official confirmation yet on the times lines or the configuration.
Fingers crossed 🤞 on both counts…
