This is the best chance for India to get into Final of Olympics. If India beat GB, we play Germany or Argentina in SF. No Belgium, No Netherlands, No Australia. Best possible scenario for India in 44 years #hockey #Paris2024

A Tamil MLA from Maharashtra named Tamil tweets in Marathi. He even took oath in Marathi. I bet a Marathi can never be an MLA in Tamilnadu.

Lesson for BJP, Congress, Mamata & Left. Never use sport for politics. Genuinely do something good like Naveen Patnaik. He didn’t use hockey for politics. He genuinely helped improve things. And if you want to help, pick something that is not cricket. Cricket doesn’t deserve it.

Learning a new language also brings you up and close to its music. I’ve been intrigued by #Kannada music for last 2 years. Something I would never have listened to, had I not learned that language. Songs like “Naguva Nayana”, “Noorondu Nenapu” or “Olavina Udugore” should be.

@AbhijitChavda It can be said both ways. India too believes in two state solution for Palestine. In opposition to what Israel believes. Not all things need to be out in the open. India is anyway not in favour of any treaty partnership. India and Israel can be issue based partners.

Many #Paralympics players from India are disappointed to not make it to the top. So much so that they are apologising for not winning gold despite winning bronze. Incredible focus, lacking in our #Olympics players except Neeraj.
Kapil Parmar apologies for now winning Gold 🥹. As Blind Judo relies more on coach commands during the match, Kapil was not able to hear it in Semi Final due to much crowd noise.

Indians supporting Israel take note. They have unconditional support from Whites. They fight extraterritorial terrorism while you attack White country’s ‘innocents.’ They are allowed to kill anyone. We are not. Israel has not issued a single statement in India’s support. Nobody’s.
Yahya Sinwar, the brutal leader of the terrorist organization Hamas, has been eliminated by the IDF. Under Sinwar’s leadership, Hamas carried out the horrific atrocities of October 7, sought to destroy Israel, and launched senseless, devastating terror attacks.

@tanvirsadiq @MrsGandhi Ahimsa? Lord Krishna ordered Arjun to pick up weapon and fight till death. Lord Rama himself led an army to kill a demon. Don’t be under false assumptions. When Hindus rise, you won’t have place to hide. Ahimsa is practiced only one way - pick up a weapon and silence your enemies.

@unraveaero ‘Civilised’ countries only have 3 days in summer and 5 days in winter as fixed holidays. Because they don’t have a festival each month. What has civilisation got to do with holidays? India has 10-12 holidays mandated - pretty much equal to the western world.

@NotFarLeftAtAll 2 have to leave. Since 100 is reduced to 99, we need to ensure the remaining percentage is calculated for 99=100%.To achieve 98%, x = (98/100)*99 = 97.02 which is rounded to 97. 99-97=2. So 2 people will have to leave.
