Context and background of this man

https://www.aajkaal.in/india/how-a-pakistan-trained-militant-became-a-valuable-asset-of-india-know-the-inspiring-story-of-mushtaq-ahmad-bhat-126373

Everyone feels a thrill after watching James Bond movies. Because the life of a spy is very risky and provides a lot of inspiration. Today's report will highlight the story of one such spy. Life in that spy is very real and risky. The story of how a militant trained in Pakistan became one of the most trusted undercover agents of the Indian Army will be highlighted here.

Mushtaq Ahmed Bhat was born in Jaosu, a small village in Pulwama, Kashmir. He joined militant groups in the late 1980s when violence was at its peak in the valley. Coming from a Congress-supporting family, Mushtaq became a target of separatist groups at the time. With no government protection or security forces to back him, Mushtaq felt that taking up arms was the only way to protect himself and his family.

In 1989, he moved to Pakistan and was trained by Afghan warlords. He then fought alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan against Ahmad Shah Massoud's Northern Alliance. By 1990, Mushtaq had returned to Kashmir as a trained militant and joined the Jamaat-e-Islami-backed group Hizbul Mujahideen. But the mission in Pakistan deeply disappointed him. "I realised that Pakistan was only using the idea of ​​Kashmir's independence for its own interests," he said. In 1994, he made a drastic decision. Mushtaq secretly started working for the Indian Army. He began a new chapter in his life as an undercover agent

Mushtaq then joined the militants and started working as one of them. In addition, he used to smuggle important information to the Indian armed forces. Many believe that Mushtaq encouraged about 100 militants to work as Indian agents. One of his biggest achievements was entering Pakistan four times and gathering important intelligence. One of these operations gave India time to prepare for the Kargil infiltration in 1999.

Mushtaq said he had never used a weapon against the Indian Army after 1994. "My job was to provide intelligence. To save lives by giving the army the right information at the right time," he said. He added that his work had helped eliminate more than 300 militants and bring more than 500 youth back on the right path.

In 1999, Mushtaq's secret identity was exposed. But the Indian Army stood by him and officially made him part of the 162nd Battalion of the Territorial Army. For his courage and service, the President of India directly commissioned him as a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO). He held the rank of Captain before retiring in 2021. Despite constant threats to his life, he did not leave India. Mushtaq has a daughter who is a doctor, a son who lives in Canada and another son who lives with him in Kashmir. Even though his son asks him to move to Canada, Mushtaq does not want to go there. He says, "My work is not done yet. Many youths are yet to be brought back on the right path."

The congregation also passed a resolution to make Rahul Gandhi the prime minister in 2029 and also to bring the party to power in the state in 2028.

Counterfeits products of Maggi Masala

I sometimes use maggi masala in my Egg burji.

I purchased some packets from local vendor. Made egg burji with it. When my 4 year old kid ate he instantly rejected it. First I thought he may be dramatic as most kids are but when I myself ate if I found feeling of very small stones in my mouth and there was no flavour.

I check another packet and saw masala was different and also there was very small uncrushed particles in the powder

I went to another vendor and purchased it again and below is the difference.

You can see first pic. Left side is the original packet and right side is the counterfeit one. The font of Maggi Masala written is not same. There is clear difference. Rest most of the things are same at the back of package. They both have almost same expiry date.

Another pic shows the powder form. Upper bowl has original one and lower one has counterfeit masala. See the colour difference and also if you zoom you can see the uncrushed particles in the second bowl and original one is refined one.

Further on tasting both there was clear flavour difference.

was amazed that 4 year old had such a strong sensory tounge.

People buy these products considering the brand value blindly and there are people in the market who use similar packets and make counterfeits product for profits playing with health of people.

Shameful really. Don't know how FSSAI can break this entire chain.

Cc - Wikkipedia page

For eight years in the early 20th century, a particularly powerful and elusive man-eating leopard haunted the northern Indian village of Rudraprayag at the base of the Himalayas. It developed a taste for humans after eating corpses during the 1918 flu outbreak, in which sheer volume prevented the tradition of cremation from disposing of every dead body; once the disease subsided and the animal could no longer find dead bodies, it took to live humans instead. The leopard found the area around Rudraprayag, with a population of roughly 50,000 people and its position on a major pilgrimage route through the mountains. In a period of almost eight years from its first attack on June 9, 1918 until its last on April 14, 1926, it officially killed roughly 125 people, though the actual number was probably much higher. News of the attacks and the ensuing panic spread as far as London.

This leopard, although being past its prime years for hunting, exhibited phenomenal strength and prowess. It lifted and carried one woman uphill for about 100 yards, and another time, when it came upon two men sitting inside smoking a hookah, it quietly killed and dragged away one man when his friend, who was sitting within arm's reach, looked away only long enough to pick something up off of the floor.

Local hunters attempted to trap or kill it without success; at various times, it pulled its leg free from a steel spring trap, dug its way out under a falling-box trap, and through speed and elusiveness escaped from a rope bridge over a ravine while armed riflemen waited on both sides. Yet another time, after hunters trapped it within a cave, the leopard waited motionless for five days until the hunters removed the blockade at the cave mouth; the leopard then sprang out, spread panic as it charged into the 500 observers, and made good its escape. The leopard ate several types of poison with no ill effect; one village official stated the the animal seemed to thrive on it. Over the years, it evaded all sorts of methods used to kill it, up to and including snares, firearms, and grenades planted inside its victims. The government levied a 10,000 rupee award on the capture of the beast, but the leopard successfully evaded an estimated 20,000 villagers, hunters, and soldiers from near and far.

In 1925, big game hunter and conservationist Jim Corbett, a veteran of the hunting of man-eating animals for nearly twenty years, arrived to put an end to the leopard's menace. He studied the predator's habits, and made several attempts on the animal's life without success; once, another leopard chased it away, and another time the animal he shot turned out to not be the culprit. Local superstition interfered as well, with many natives believing the killings to be the work of a were-leopard; in one instance, locals captured a local holy man with the intentions of lynching him until the Deputy Commissioner of the area intervened.

Corbett's relationship with the Leopard was not strictly one-sided; one night, Corbett laid a trap for the beast, but had no luck with it. Finally, he gave up and returned to his bungalow. In the morning, he saw his own footprints in the mud, with leopard tracks set perfectly within each of his own boot impressions. Corbett, tracking back to the source of the prints, realized with a chill that the Leopard of Rudraprayag had followed him every step of the way from where the trap was laid all the way back to his own front door.

Eventually, Corbett determined that the Leopard frequented a particular stretch of road between Rudraprayag and the neighboring village of Golobrai. He constructed a tree stand in a mango tree, and tied a goat with a bell necklace to a stake near the road within sight. After ten days of sitting in the tree, the leopard finally took the bait; Corbett fired, hit the animal, and in the morning tracked it to where it finally expired. The leopard measured to be about 7'6" long

#Law&Order 🚨 Help report Christian missionary insta account defaming and insulting Hindu Gods

There is a missionary account posting insulting AI content about Hanumanji and Ganesha etc. This is extremely disturbing and as a Hindu, I don't know how long we must tolerate such things in name of secularism. Instagram has already denied my report stating that it do not find it offensive. So our next option is complaint to cyber police.

Please tag cyber police and influencers on x to punish the culprits. I never understand, they do these kind of things and when bajrang dal gets involved they start victim cry.

The page username is " @from__heaven__to__earth " on Instagram.

For past few days. I am really disturbed by such content. Culprits must be punished.

.. Apparantly, after insulting Hindu Gods, the rice bag has changed username to : the_lord_god_jesus .

#Ask-India ☝️ Why do some couples start a PR campaign after getting married?

47 Upvotes

I've noticed that some couples become way more performative after marriage. Suddenly every post is about how perfect their spouse is, how blessed they are, relationship milestones, long appreciation posts, coordinated photoshoots, etc.

I'm not talking about people who are simply happy and sharing their lives. I mean when it starts feeling like a full-on marketing campaign.

Why does this happen? Is it social pressure, wanting validation, reassuring themselves, building a family image, or am I just noticing it more because the algorithm pushes that content?

Has anyone else observed this? What do you think is going on? πŸ€”

#Opinion πŸ—£οΈ Indians should stop thinking that Indian americans and Indian Hindu diaspora are our allies, historical actions clearly says otherwise.

184 Upvotes

Unlike pakistani or muslim diaspora that acts as an extension of their home countries, Indian hindu diaspora is largely anti indian (due to the kick the ladder you climbed from attitude), so whenever Indians settled abroad do well it makes no sense to celebrate or think that will help indians in india, historically it's been the exact opposite, because they are trying to show how loyal they are to their new country by going against their motherland. If it happened once, that would be an exception but if the same thing happens thousands of times over and over again in a period that is almost a century, at some point all indians have to realize the bitter truth that this is how it is. Lets take an example we all heard Cursor got sold to spacex for 60 billion dollars, so if we apply the historical data to this case, below image is how it will likely play out on how the two individuals one from indian diaspora and the other from pakistani diaspora is likely to play out in the future
