As much as I enjoy criticising Nehru for about every problem ailing India today, let me not forget the little things he contributed that were genuinely wholesome.
India is so much more than what we know her to be, why so many "foreigners" called/call her home ❤️
Finished watching the Tenzing movie, loved the final scene where he first prayed and hosted a flag, the biggest or the most evident flag for me was Indian.
I got curious, why Indian because it seemed like he was Nepali, then I checked wiki and it showed his citizenship as Indian and Nepali, again didn't make any sense as India doesn't allow dual citizenship.
Read few more articles to understand, his origin/ citizenship was kept as a secret and he wasn't Nepalese. He was from Tibet and for China to not claim his glory, that was always kept as a secret untill he passed away and his family allowed the secret to be out.
When he climbed Everest, both India and Nepal engaged in intense propaganda, each claiming Tenzing as their own.
But the turning point was when he was invited to the UK, he had no passport to travel and it was then our PM Jawaharlal Nehru who personally stepped in and got him the Indian passport, This had irked Nepalese govt a lot.
As per the movie, he was always treated as an outsider and not a sherpa because well you should see the movie.
He stayed for most of his life in Darjeeling, India, and even took his last breath in India.

Meet Ambarish Ghosh!
(Building Robots That Hunt Cancer)
An IISc scientist is developing microscopic robots that could one day navigate the human body, detect cancerous cells and deliver medicines directly to diseased tissues!
> Graduated with an Integrated MSc in Physics from IIT Kharagpur in 1997
> Completed his PhD in Physics at Brown University, USA, in 2004
> Conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University
> Returned to India and joined IISc Bengaluru in 2009
> Began developing microscopic, magnetically controlled swimming robots
> Designed spiral-shaped nanostructures that move using rotating magnetic fields
> Demonstrated ways to steer these tiny machines through fluids
> Explored their potential for targeted drug delivery and biological sensing
> Received the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize in 2018
> Became Professor at IISc's Centre for Nano Science and Engineering
> Advanced research on nanorobots operating in complex biological environments
> Investigated their potential for detecting and targeting cancerous tissues
> Developed techniques to study mechanical properties inside living cells
> Won the 2025 Tata Transformation Prize in Healthcare
> In 2026, his team demonstrated mobile quantum sensors guided by magnetic microbots
How could these tiny robots transform cancer treatment?
Conventional cancer treatments can damage healthy cells alongside tumours, causing serious side effects.
Ghosh's team is developing magnetically controlled nanorobots that can navigate microscopic environments using external magnetic fields.
These tiny machines could eventually deliver medicines more precisely to diseased tissues, potentially reducing damage to healthy cells.
His research also explores combining magnetic microbots with quantum sensors to measure conditions inside living cells.
Imagine a future where doctors could send microscopic robots directly towards diseased tissues, delivering treatments exactly where they are needed.
The technology remains experimental, but Ghosh's research is bringing that possibility closer to reality.

India is bad saaar
But in same context China is great saar...

Prof. Ashoke Sen says string theory almost became irrelevant, then physicists noticed something extraordinary.
Hidden inside it was gravity.
Something no other quantum theory could explain.
And that's when everything changed.

Zero rhino poaching. Now that’s a plot worth protecting.
Assam’s Operation Falcon foiled 9 poaching attempts leading to 48 arrests. This forest thriller has no happy ending for the poachers 😉
With #ProjectRhino, the next chapter of conservation is already underway.

This post is specially for SAI PALLAVI and for her "DUMB" statement over "Ravan was not that bad."
Well, not that bad Ravan had raped Rambha, the daughter-in-law of Kubera [Ref: Mahabharata 3.278]. Ravana had also molested Rishi Kushadhwaja’s daughter Vedavati in Naimisha-vana (grove) near Kurukshetra in present-day Haryana state [Ref: Ramayana 7.17].
The reason for not touching Maa Sita was a fear of a curse received by him. years ago, from Bhagawan Brahma that his head would break into a hundred pieces if he ever tried to force a woman for pleasure. [Ref: Ramayana, yuddha kand, sarga 13] . This curse was given to him after the above-mentioned incidents.
The not that bad Ravan and so called protector of his sister Shurpnakha, was the one who killed her husband and made her widow just to satisfy his ego. [Ref: Valmiki Ramayana, uttar kand, sarga 29 ]
Ravan was the one who forcefully captured lanka, the kingdom of his brother kubera.
But then how can a rapist of several women, Murderer, a kidnapper, a cruel, egoistic, lusty, greedy, corrupt demon be called "that bad or evil". He was so tall, dark handsome that Sai Pallavi got carried away for a rapist like him
LET ME BUST MORE BUBBLES AROUND RAVAN'S GREATNESS
Did Prabu Rama really send Lakshmana to receive wisdom from Ravana after his fall in the war?
Well, No Prabu Ram didn't send Lakshman to receive any wisdom from Ravana. Lakshman did not have any conversation with Ravan on his deathbed; there was no time to have such a conversation since Ravan was killed as soon as he was struck by Rama's Brahmastra.
It is clearly mentioned in Ramayan, yuddh kand, sarga 107-108 that Ravan was killed as soon as the arrow hit him and then the arrow returned to Ram
Was Ravana the greatest devotee of Bhagwan Shiv?
No, he was not a devotee of Bhagawan Shiva, stop calling him that. He just worshipped Bhagawan Shiv to get weapons and boons from him. No devotee will ever try to move the abode of his master. Bhagawan Shiv got angry with him too for doing so.
Also, Bhagawan Shiv is regarded as the most innocent god and that's why, He is known as Bholenath which means he has a very innocent, emotional, and yet the strongest character who easily provides boons to anyone.
Did Ravana created Shiv Tandava Stotram?
Maybe, but no scripture has mentioned this incident, It is not mentioned in Ramayana or any Puranas. It is most likely a folktale or maybe a mere rumor.

When the Naxalite unrest shut down his classrooms in 1970, he studied on his own for the board exams. He wrote the exam in Bengali
When he entered Presidency College for his BSc, he had to manually translate scientific terms from Bengali to English during exams.
His name is Ashoke Sen.
One of the greatest Indian physicists alive says he spends 90% of his time stuck with no progress. Not as a young researcher. Even Now. After receiving the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics carrying a $3 million cash reward, three times the amount of a Nobel Prize.
He grew up in Kolkata, the son of a college physics teacher.
Political unrest delayed Calcutta University exams, causing students to lose a full academic year. To avoid losing two more years during his MSc, Sen left Kolkata for @IITKanpur
When it came time to apply abroad for a PhD, he applied to exactly two universities. Not out of strategy. They were the only two he could afford, the ones that didn’t demand an application fee up front.
One was Stony Brook University. He got in.
After research stints at Fermilab and Stanford, he turned down permanent US offers and returned to India in 1988. He chose to work out of a quiet research institute in Prayagraj rather than a flashy global university hub.
In 1994, he proposed a duality in string theory that helped set off a revolution in the field, work that reshaped how physicists understood their own subject.
In 2012, he won the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.
The next morning, he donated a substantial part of the $3 million prize money, hopped on his bicycle, and rode to his humble office in Prayagraj to resume solving equations.
It amazes me how every great physicist has one thing in common - Simplicity
