What did I just see??!??
An Indian student Jaahnavi Kandula from Andhra Pradesh was studying in USA.
She was killed in a road accident by a Police car in January 2023.
Now, 8 months after accident, a bodycam video of Daniel Auderer, who is Vice President of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, has gone viral on social media.
He was laughing about her death & said that "She was 26, anyway… She had limited value....just give $11,000".
Is this the value of an Indian immigrant student in USA?

Addiction comes in all different forms, but this definitely lands. I’ll be sharing this one with my kids as it’s a perfect illustration of how it unfolds.

What Capt. Smit did was phenomenal after how he was brutally attacked. Single-handedly destroyed a well planned terror attack to kill jews and blame Indians by terrorists. No wonder anti-India hate was fanned through the roof after he was celebrated worldwide.

Around 3 years ago, Kavita Kumari lost her husband after a long illness in Ramgarh, Jharkhand. She had 2 young children and a family to take care of.
Life was not easy. She even worked as a security guard for some time to support her family.
But Kavita had one dream, she wanted a govt job so that her children could have a better and more secure future.
So, she started preparing for the Home Guard recruitment.
Every morning, at around 4 AM, Kavita would get up and go out for running practice. She did not have sports shoes or tracksuit. But she kept running.
Then came the physical test.
Kavita arrived at the ground wearing a saree. And because she could not afford running shoes, she ran barefoot.
She had to complete 1600 metres within 10 minutes.
And what happened next surprised everyone.
Under the hot sun, wearing a saree and running barefoot, Kavita completed the 1600 metres in just 6 minutes.
She was not running for a medal. She was not running for fame. She was running for her children.
Sometimes, we think we need the perfect shoes, the perfect clothes, the perfect circumstances, or the perfect opportunity to start.
Kavita had none of those things. She simply had a goal and a reason to keep going.
For her, that race was much bigger than a physical test. It was a race against poverty, difficult circumstances, and an uncertain future.
Six minutes. One mother. Two children. And a reason stronger than every obstacle.

Here is the winner of the headlines!
Guess the newspaper!
If these are not the headlines in Western media, I will lose faith in them:
Reuters: “An Indian pilot opened the cockpit door for passengers at 36,000 feet.”
NY Times: “Israeli Passenger Tried to Take Control of Plane Over Saudi Airspace.”
BBC: “Israeli Passengers Beat Omani Co-Pilot at 36,000 Feet.”
Al Jazeera: “Security Increased in Mecca After Plane Full of Israelis Fell 15,000 Feet in 30 Seconds.”
CNN: “Passengers Become Unscheduled Co-Pilots After rift between Pilots"

I was listening to @foxandfriends this morning. They talked about this for about ten minutes.
I was dumbfounded.
They spoke of Copilot.
The heroic Israeli passengers.
The plumber who choked out the copilot and pulled back on the controls.
The dentist who stopped the bleeding of the stabbed pilot.
At one point, @TreyYingst said the passengers stopped "the pilot" who was trying to crash the plane.
A brief mention was made of the pilot pressing the cockpit door release.
That's it.
That's all.
They never mentioned the pilot's name or ethnicity.
They never mentioned that he notified air traffic control of an emergency.
They never mentioned he fought back.
They never called his actions heroic.
This is beyond racism.
This is journalistic malpractice and a sickness.
Don’t let the media demonize Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian pilot who saved all 174 people on Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv. Mainstream media casts him as part of the problem while he fights for his life after saving everyone on that plane. The media must corrupt the record.
It was not a work dispute or a fight between coworkers.
One Hindu pilot. One locked cockpit. One jihadist already in the co-pilot’s seat, with an axe, trying to worship Allah by sacrificing his soul and killing 174 innocent people, including dozens of children as further human sacrifices.
Pilots are not trained to neutralize their own co-pilot. It is unthinkable that a death-cult worshipper reached that seat at all. The last thing between him and a global-scale disaster was one Indian captain who had no idea what was coming.
After 9/11 the cockpit door was built to lock the pilots in and keep the killers out. Islamic terrorism turned that lesson into a weapon for jihad and martyrdom.
This time the jihadist was already inside and wanted to sacrifice the Jews along with everyone else as an act of Islamic worship.
He did not expect Captain Smit Machchhar. The Indian pilot was stabbed, covered in blood, fought the terrorist off with bare hands, reached the lock, and opened the door.
That is why 174 people are alive. Israeli passengers already behind the door pinned the jihadist down.
Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken of the heroic role of the Indian pilot and the Israeli passengers in one of the most complex terror attacks the world has seen since 9/11.
The same machine that maintains Hamas’s false image as survivors of a genocide and paints Israel and its people as the criminals now demonizes the man who saved them.
Machchhar is a Hindu from India. That is why they can bury him. Say his name: Captain Smit Machchhar. Flydubai FZ1073. He is still recovering after surgery. Pray for him. Don’t let them hide the man who stopped it.

The Israeli passengers were absolutely remarkable. They deserve every bit of credit. 🙏🙏
But an Indian captain was stabbed, fought the attacker, managed to open the cockpit door so the passengers could get in, and then collapsed. Other pilots then took over and landed the aircraft safely.
Somehow, in the retelling, the Indian pilot disappears.
India really does have a remarkable talent for being present when history happens and mysteriously absent when the West writes the caption.

True hero who saved so many lives! 🫡
Wishing him a speedy recovery ❤️🩹

The situation was quite like 9/11.
Terrorist trained to be a pilot, looks for an opportunity to enter the cockpit, and then kill the captain to eventually take control of the plane & crash it.
This plan was even more foolproof. The terrorist was the co-pilot, no need of announcing a hijack, had an axe instead of a box-cutter, and just had to neutralise one pilot instead of two.
Imagine the bravery of the Indian pilot, who was relentlessly being attacked by an axe, yet managed to relay the signal of a hi jack. And MOST IMPORTANTLY opened the cockpit door so that others can enter. Saved 100+ lives.
The Gujarati pilot, Smit deserves the biggest bravery award. 🙏

Retweet this tweet if you think Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, and Ashutosh Ranka should be arrested under UAPA for waging a regime change war against our country with the help of foreign powers.
They should be put behind bars with their friend Umar Khalid.

Entire Hindu philosophy including Jyotish says exactly this.
But science ke gulam will accept this while simultaneously saying there is nothing like Karm Phal or Jyotish.

Look at this newsflash from @TimesNow carefully.
It looks completely innocent.
45 student suicides.
Then comes the highlighted line:
28 “Victims” from SC, ST and OBC.
Sounds powerful.
Now let me show you what disappeared from the graphic.
General Category: 16
OBC: 12
SC: 9
ST: 7
EWS: 1
Interesting, no?
If we compare every category separately:
General Category has the highest number.
Sixteen.
But somehow that number did not deserve the headline.
Apparently, some deaths need caste labels.
Some deaths can remain in the background.
Are those 16 students less human?
Did their parents cry differently?
Was their mental health less important?
This is exactly how narratives are built.
You don't always need to lie.
Sometimes you just highlight one number.
And quietly hide another.
The Constitution begins with equality before law under Article 14.
Article 15 prohibits discrimination on grounds including caste.
Yet even a student suicide is now presented through selective caste arithmetic.
SC student dies.
National debate.
ST student dies.
National debate.
OBC student dies.
National debate.
General-category student dies.
Not even a footnote.
45 young Indians died.
That should have been the headline, TimesNow.
Not 28.
Not 16.
Not SC.
Not ST.
Not OBC.
Not General.
45 students of Bharat.
If we cannot even mourn children equally, perhaps the problem inside our country is much deeper than we think.

Some milestones leave you humbled, grateful and completely overwhelmed. ❤️
Article 370, the very first film from B62 Studios, receiving three National Awards is a truly extraordinary and unforgettable moment for all of us.
To share this beautiful and prestigious honour with my brother Lokesh Dhar, dearest Jyoti Deshpande, my beloved Yami Gautam Dhar, the musical star Shashwat, our super talented director Aditya Suhas Jambhale and the entire team is deeply special.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who poured their passion, conviction and soul into this film. What began as a story we deeply believed in has become a moment we will cherish forever.
Our first release. Three National Awards. An incredibly proud B62 Studios moment. 🙏🏻❤️
But with an honour this great comes an even greater responsibility.
This is not where the journey ends. It is a reminder to dream bigger, tell stories with greater conviction and create Indian cinema that can travel far beyond our borders.
Our aspiration at B62 Studios will always be to take Indian stories, Indian cinema and India’s soft power to greater heights, to create films that entertain, inspire, resonate with audiences across the world and make our country proud.
This honour gives us even more reason to aim higher, work harder and believe bigger.
The journey has only just begun. 🇮🇳❤️

How much time is India saving on the same routes post-2014?
- Bogibeel: 2 hours → 10 minutes
- Atal Setu: 2 hours → 20 minutes
- Bhupen Hazarika Setu: 6 hours → 1 hour
- Atal Tunnel: 5.5 hours → 2 hours
- Delhi–Meerut: 2.5 hours → 45 minutes
- Bengaluru–Mysuru: 3 hours → 1 hour 15 minutes
- Delhi–Dehradun: 6 hours → 2.5 hours
- Mumbai–Nagpur: 16 hours → 8 hours
- Delhi–Mumbai*: 24 hours → 12 hours
New expressways, tunnels, bridges, and economic corridors are not just connecting India; they are cutting hours from journeys.
