Pakistan tested Abdali missile system 2 days ago and India has protested it.

Have you ever noticed that that Pakistan always names its missile systems over Ghori, Ghazni, Babur and Abdali type? Have you ever seen a missile called Dara Shukoh or Akbar?

All brutal invaders of Indian past are the missiles. Such is the obsession.

I think the best way for India has been to neglect Pakistan to the maximum extent possible. All engagements, of peaceful talks and of war, have brought only betrayal and pain over the decades.

We need to grow as large and as fast as possible so that we shouldn't even need to notice their existence in the neighbourhood. Avoid both war and peace. Not attention of any kind.

They are falling due to their own kukarma anyway, digging their own grave.

#MCQ

Hello students,

We have finally finished our 11 weeks Daily MCQ practice. It was an intensive work at our end, to provide 5 new MCQs every day, chapter by chapter, section by section for over 11 weeks. We have been doing this for many years just before Prelims and have seen that students benefit from it. Earlier, it used to be little shorter, of 8 weeks or so. This year it was 11 weeks. More the merrier. I hope it was beneficial to some of you.

After this, our regular updates will follow for next few weeks till Prelims. After that we will meet with more initiatives.

Meanwhile, all our previous questions are also available with #MCQ. Our entire Telegram is full of hashtags, with everything properly archived and searchable. The weekly compilations of all the 11 weeks and also earlier years are shared and tagged properly. So far there are more than 2000 MCQs here on this single channel which you can practice any time.

Separately on our YT channel, we have covered about 1100 different MCQs, along with PYQs this year. This series is called RTFQ (Revise Through 500 Questions). About 500 for Modern are covered, and 600 for AMAC. I have already shared its PDFs here. The solutions are discussed in the youtube videos.

All in all, keep practicing.

All the best for Prelims. May the force be with you...:)

This colonial attitude is infuriating.

At Sotheby's, they are auctioning Buddha's body relics. They were dug from India in the colonial times and stolen by some British.

Can they think of auctioning St Xaviers body or Muhammad Paigambar's hair in similar way?

These are sacred body relics and must be respected. Going under hammer in auction makes them marketed commodity.

Coming soon...

This is the latest 2025 ka class 9 history syllabus of ICSE. There is no Vijayanagara, there is no Bahmani, and no Rajputs and no Maratha and there is least Sikhism. They have Francis Xavier but no Tulasidas or Chaitanya. They don't teach society or economy. Only politics, state and religion are their primary focus.

This is not only objectionable but totally nonsense. My heart goes out for those poor souls who studied in ICSE schools. They are raised probably with a very wrong idea of India.

NCERT books (of CBSE board) have been much better and more representative always.

After yesterday's TheHindu report regarding downing of 3 Indian jets which it had to delete within a couple of hours, today, TheHindu has come up with this editorial.

I have not seen such writing from TheHindu in over 15 years of reading this newspaper, where there are no ifs or buts.

There is no reference to poor Pakistani people being helpless or misguided, no cautioning Indian side to show maximum restraint, no point about Pakistani army is different from Pakistani society, no blaming America for terrorism... all in all, no what aboutry...

I think this is rarest for The Hindu to take such clear stance.

In Op Sindoor, one of the destroyed places was Markaz Taiba in Muridke.

It was established in the year 2000 as the LeT HQ. A batch of 1000 terrorists was trained here every year. Ajmal Kasab and David Headly were the alumni of this Markaz.

These alumni terrorists were responsible for 2001 Parliament, 2007 Hyderbad, 2008 Mumbai, 2010 Pune etc.

Most interestingly, it was constructed with the help of funding of 1 crore rupees by Osama Bin Laden.

Complete darkness from JnK till Rajasthan. Things are evolving second by second. Our generation has not seen this.

All our students in this region, please take care. Keep mobiles charged, petrol tanks full and some cash in hand.

Warfare has completely changed. This is the era of drones, missiles, jets, air defence and radars. Boots on ground come much later if at all.

Try to not spread unconfirmed news. Disinformation campaign is also part of the warfare.

It is going to be a long night.
Har Har Mahadev.
