Quite creative of @ORFAmerica to mark the Hindu festival of #Deepavali—with a conversation on India’s remarkable clean-energy revolution over the past 12 years, and how this leap forward has helped bring 24/7 electricity to billions across Asia.
A fitting celebration of light, progress, and human advancement.
We in the United States and folks in Europe can certainly make notes as we wrestle with billowing energy costs, and aging energy infrastructure.
It will be interesting to see @nikitabier
how many of these are based out of Pakistan and China.

The magatards dragged me for this comment for weeks, but sadly: it’s true.
I love this country—and the best thing an executive at a social network can do is communicate when attempts are made to manipulate public discourse.
For every Nick Fuentes and James Fishback on the Christian Right, there are a dozen of @LeslieMarshall s on the Left.
The mindset of the entire Islamo-Left ecosystem can be summed up in 1 post.
If you are “brown” or “black”, you are expected to support a Jamaat-e-Islami backed Hamas sympathizer, because if you don’t, you are supporting White racists.
Vivek is too smart for this.
The scars on Captain Smit Machchaar, the Hindu DubaiAir pilot are representative of a larger civilizational metaphor.
- They represent the valiant victory of the Hindu rulers Bappa Rawal and Nagabhatta in Sindh against the Umayyad Caliphates as Charles Martel was defeating the same Umayyads in France.
- They represent the heroic resistance of Prithviraj Chauhan against the Ghorid Islamists as Spain was fighting its Reconquista against the Muslim Al-mohad forces.
- They represent the endless wounds of the Hindu Marathas in the East as the Habsburgs and Poles were breaking the Siege of Vienna in the West.
For over 1500 years, Hindu polities in Asia and Christian polities in Europe faced successive waves of Islamic expansion and answered with protracted military and cultural resistance- simultaneously. The worlds of the Hindus and of Europe have been linked by this shared historical experience far longer, and more deeply, than many Euro-centrists or their derivates here, the "heritage Americans" acknowledge.
Captain Machchhar’s scars make that older interconnection visible again in the present.
For someone who is such a senior journalist at @nytimes, its a pity that @NickKristof doesn't know that ZERO comes from the Hindus of India.
Pingala’s Chandaḥśāstra (also called Chandah Sutra), traditionally dated to roughly the 3rd–2nd century BCE first mentions the concept of ZERO.
Even the Arabs acknowledged that when they first started using it.
But then again, given NY Times' historical and continuous bias against Hindus and India, Kristof's ignorance is understandable.
A legal immigrant who dots his Is and crosses his Ts is not acceptable because he is Hindu.
His children born in America are not acceptable because they are Hindu.
An illegal is fine as long as he is a Christian.
And we are not supposed to call it anti-Hindu hate @megbasham
Today, Hindus celebrate Kojagari Lakshmi Puja.
On Kojagari Lakshmi Puja day 80 years ago (1946), Islamists demanding Pakistan attacked the town of Noakhali (present day Bangladesh) and surrounding areas- raping, pillaging, murdering and kidnapping.
Time magazine (28 October 1946) reported an estimated 5,000 Hindus killed in eight days and at least 22,550 Hindus were forcibly converted to Islam.
Mahatma Gandhi went to Noakhali to beg for peace, but failed miserably.
Never forget, never forgive.

We discussed this phenomenon of unreasonable hate, a couple of weeks ago during our conversation with @GoldInstituteIS.
There is more to it than just racism.
Well put John.
Are Hindus trying to change American culture? NO!
Do you see Indian flags waving in their front yards, demanding we bend to their harmless culture? NO!
But Pakistani Muslims - they parade their flags like there’s no tomorrow.
Why are you so determined to rip apart unity between Christians and Hindus? You're so blinded you can't see our true enemy isn’t each other.
Your reckless blind hatred its nothing less than handing America over to Islam on a silver platter - and with your own words!

Despite a long record of anti-Hindu rhetoric and despite his close associations with radical Islamists that support terrorism against Hindus, Mayor Mamdani is now playing the politics of it perfectly.
Full credit for the pivot on a Hindu festival.
This week, I was blessed to join Hindu New Yorkers in Queens celebrating Navratri, Durga Puja, Dashain, and Vijayadashami.
We danced garba, performed aarti, witnessed Sindoor Khela, and honored the Goddess Durga.
It was an honor to come together in joy, faith, and community in temples across our city — especially after the attempted mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois last week.
May we all join together in our shared responsibility to stand against hate and care for one another.
Jai Mata Ki.
1/n. As we celebrate this vibrant season of Hindu festivities, electoral politics and geopolitical mega-moves, we’re excited to share a selection of book recommendations for all on a variety of topics. We start with
