Nepal and Afghanistan have practised in India. Punjab went to Namibia for a one day series. Mumbai went to Oman. Zimbabwe's emerging women's team travels to India. So that way BCCI helps. Ask what Aus and Eng do. NOTHING.
Netherlands gave Pakistan a scare. USA gave India a slight scare. Nepal gave England a massive scare. The ICC needs to do more for these nations from a financial & exposure point of view. Everything can't just revolve around the Big 3 and in particular the BCCI. #T20WorldCup

The original temple was where today the Santhome church is! It was destroyed! This current temple is 300 yrs old!
In Mylapore, Chennai, stands Kapaleeshwarar Temple, built by the Pallavas in the 7th century. Here, Parvati is worshipped as Karpagambal, the Wish-Yielding Tree. It's said that she prayed to Shiva as a peacock, giving the name “Mylai.” Shivprabhat 🙏🏽

BJP MP Tejasvi Surya was detained by the police today near Jayanagar Metro Station in Bengaluru while attempting to stage a protest. He has since been released. The police cited a notice served to him yesterday, stating that the protest was held without prior permission. But the
What is his fault? Is raising his voice for the people a crime? Is thinking about the citizens of Bengaluru wrong? Why was he detained for standing up for public concerns? We stand firmly with Tejasvi Surya for speaking on behalf of Bengaluru’s residents. At a time when common

Portrait of a Thiyya couple from Kerala, 1761 CE. Going by their bearing, umbrellas and ornaments they are clearly from an aristocratic background. Thiyyas are the Ezhavas of north Kerala. Observe that the woman's breasts are exposed, which was the default custom for aristocratic

@pratykumar Hey Pratyush, schwa deletion in modern Indian Sanskrit-derived languages should not be present if the language is Sanskrit. I see that as a minor issue with this example. Amazing work by the Sarvam team and I am excited to try these all out.

@pratykumar Can you please address the schwa deletion issue? That needs to be handled for proper Sanskrit TTS Future things to also account for would be the vedic accents of udatta, anudatta and svarita eventually

Imagine the insecurity of this Congress government, a #KhaliTrunkSarkara that feels threatened by one individual simply trying to board a Metro with an empty suitcase. Their priorities are clearly skewed. Instead of these tactics of intimidation, the State Government must

If Poola Anthony or his father converted to Christianity to escape caste discrimination as a Dalit, why is he still a Dalit? Isn't Christianity supposed to be a casteless religion? Anthony's status quo should be a warning to all Hindus - conversion is not emancipation.

These fellows can’t conduct a 9,000 odd candidate exam without chaos, wrong centres and eventual cancellations. But Tamil Nadu’s rulers still reserve plenty of hectoring sermons for agencies that test millions with far fewer glitches. Rarely has brazen arrogance been so oblivious

Welcome to Congress-ruled Karnataka. Here you can get arrested for demanding affordable public transport and better infrastructure. Mr. CM, if fighting for Better Bengaluru is a crime, I am ready to get arrested a 1,000 more times. Do better, and initiate a new FFC for Namma

Ajay Banga (President, World Bank) in his ancestral village of Kushab (now in 🇵🇰). Holding plaque put by his grandpa in local Sikh temple. Grandpa had typ Hindu name: Ish(v)ar. Not the modern -jeet, -preet, -meet. Grandpa’s mother is Ram BAI. Not Kaur. Sikhi before Islamic SGPC.
The third wife of Guru Gobind Singh was Sahib DEVI —NOT Sahib KAUR! This is testified from all precolonial texts including her own handsigned letters. Adding Kaur to female names was a fraud conjured up by SGPC to create forced divisions between Hindu-Sikh. https://t.co/r9k8px5wZI

Kerala High Court calls for review of rule barring non-Hindus from Hindu temples. Court calls for ‘harmonious’ interpretation, questions existing restrictions. Why are Hindu temples always the test case? Read the order. writes @LekhakAnurag

You have to declare your religion to open a bank account in Indonesia. Atheists and Jews are not allowed. They say Indonesia is a secular and liberal country. Meanwhile, Indonesia. 😑
