Whenever I come across such stories, I feel more confident about India's growth story! Here's a farmer who earned INR 6L from lady finger (bhendi) and INR 4L from pumpkin! All this within 6 months! Earlier his plants were dying earlier due to various pests. By using BharatAgri services, he reduced the incidents of pest attack by more than 50%! He wants to form a group of farmers who will follow these practices on 50 acres in the village. And increase village income to INR 2Cr annually! In the last 12 months, he has placed 90+ orders on the BharatAgri app! He said he wants a gift on crossing the century mark! What should we gift him? #BharatAgri

With them stood the souls of the more than 1,000 Israelis who were murdered by Hamas on October 7th and are unable to testify. Watch Dr. Becker’s opening remarks:

This is a must-read. When @SenDanSullivan visited @Harvard, he couldn't believe what he saw in the library. As Dan writes: Nearly every student in the packed room was wearing a kaffiyeh. Fliers attached to their laptops read: “No Normalcy During Genocide—Justice for Palestine.” A banner stated in blazing blood-red letters, “Stop the Genocide in Gaza.” Senator Sullivan struck up a conversation with organizers of the anti-Israel protest. One asked if he supported a ceasefire in Gaza and when he said he didn’t because he believes Israel has the right to defend itself, they said: “You’re a murderer” and “You support genocide” wsj.com/articles/an-antisemi…

My country, the only Jewish country in the world and the only democratic country in the Middle East, just released 6 terrorists in order to bring back home Ayisha and Belal - both of whom are Arab Muslims who were were kidnapped by the terrorist organization Hamas-ISIS. It's ironic because these 6 terrorists, like other terrorists, have no problem killing, kidnapping or torturing Arabs like Ayisha and Belal just because they are Israeli citizens. If you didn't get it by now, then you are an idiot so allow me to clarify again...this war is not between Arabs and Jews its between the IDF and the barbaric terrorist organization Hamas ❗️ Welcome HOME 🇮🇱 Ayisha Welcome HOME🇮🇱 Belal And we will not stop until everyone is back and Hamas-ISIS is destroyed ❗️
