A single Facebook comment made in a moment of anger has put 24-year-old Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu engineer Anujan Sivarasa on death row in Saudi Arabia. Unable to bear seeing the god he worships being insulted online, he lost his temper and replied, a mistake that could now cost him his life.
In June, a video went viral showing a Muslim youth kicking Subramani, a dog walking with devotees on the Kataragama Murugan temple pilgrimage. In the online arguments that followed, some people started making vulgar remarks insulting Lord Shiva.
Hurt and provoked, Anujan replied with a comment in Tamil about the Prophet. However, he realized his mistake within minutes, deleted the comment and even posted a public video apologizing for it.
Despite this, extremists in Sri Lanka took a screenshot of his deleted comment, translated it into Arabic and emailed it to his employer in Saudi Arabia to report him. Arrested in July, he was first given 5 years in prison and fined around ₹6.5 crore. But after the prosecution appealed, he was sentenced to death on September 17.
Anujan has been beaten and injured by fellow inmates in prison, and his family hasn't heard from him since September 28, when all phone contact was cut off. His family is living in constant fear. His mother Yogalakshmi's tearful plea to pardon her son and send him back home breaks the heart.
Amnesty International has demanded that this death sentence be cancelled. The final deadline to appeal is October 17 2026, leaving just a few days in hand!
Giving the death penalty to a 24-year-old who immediately realized his mistake and apologized is deeply cruel. Let us raise our voices before the October 17 deadline to save a Tamil life!

Sir Jadunath Sarkar Fellowship for Indian History
Batch 3 | 2026–27
Meet Ms Amritha Radhakrishnan, Independent Researcher and Writer.
Her project, “Robert Caldwell: The Missionary and the Dravidian Identity Question (1814–1891),” revisits the life and scholarship of Robert Caldwell and his role in shaping ideas around the “Dravidian” language family.
Drawing on archival sources and Caldwell’s English and Tamil writings, the study explores the intersections of missionary work, scholarship, caste politics and Tamil identity, and their continuing historical significance.

#WATCH | PM Modi speaks with Flydubai Captain Smit Machchhar through a video call and praises his courage, presence of mind and composure in how he saved many lives
The PM says to Captain Smit, "The whole country is praying for you. Maha Mrityunjay Jaap is being done for you and your health. Your courage, presence of mind and composure saved many lives. The country can proudly say that Indians are not those who take lives, but those who are willing to risk their lives to save others."

URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED.
I may be silenced forever in the next few days.
It means there won't be anyone to expose foreign toolkits for regime change.
An American citizen, Dinesh Thakur, has filed a case against me for exposing the truth about the CJP protest.
Please speak out against those who want to silence the patriot voices.
Use #ISupportVijayPatel and show your support.
I expect at least this from you guys🙏
Jai Hind.

1. How Foreign-funded NGOs and people are interfering with our election process.
Shocking details of sold-out people and NGOs.
ADR, with their lawyer Prashant Bhushan, filed many PILs in the SC against the Election Commission.

80% of India isn't vegetarian. This food-fascism and vegetarian evangelism has got to stop. No booze. No meat. If i were president of Ruritania i would NEVER go to India on a state visit. In fact, the most powerful reason to elect a Congress government to power in Delhi is to restore sanity and sumptuousness and civilized eating to state banquets. This joyless Hindutva mob will be the death of Indian culture.

"Dearest SG sir. I know you will love to see this. A treasure ❤️ " I was delighted to receive this message from the great grand son of Thamizh Grandfather U Ve Swaminatha Iyer. He had attached the letter written by Kappalottiya Thanizhan Va U Chidambaram Pillai. See how dignified and respectful the language and handwriting are. Thanks Deepak Swaminathan for starting my day with a great gift
"அன்பிற்குரிய SG ஐயா, இதைப் பார்ப்பதை நீங்கள் மிகவும் விரும்புவீர்கள் என்று எனக்குத் தெரியும். இது ஒரு பொக்கிஷம் ❤️" - 'தமிழ் தாத்தா' உ.வே. சாமிநாத ஐயர் அவர்களின் கொள்ளுப் பேரனிடமிருந்து இந்தச் செய்தியைப் பெற்றதில் நான் மிகுந்த மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்தேன். 'கப்பலோட்டிய தமிழன்' வ.உ. சிதம்பரனார் எழுதிய கடிதம் ஒன்றை அவர் அதனுடன் இணைத்திருந்தார். அந்தக் கடிதத்தின் மொழியும் கையெழுத்தும் எவ்வளவு கண்ணியமாகவும் மரியாதையுடனும் உள்ளன என்று பாருங்கள். ஒரு சிறந்த பரிசோடு என் நாளைத் தொடங்கியதற்கு தீபக் சுவாமிநாதன் அவர்களுக்கு நன்றி.

Raghuram Rajan to Rahul Gandhi:
"India would be lucky to do 5% GDP growth in the future".
India clocked 7.8% GDP growth for Q1 2026-27

While Rahul Gandhi continues to peddle his lies, a brilliant new website is doing the exact opposite, dismantling his propaganda, claim by claim, with facts. 😂
The site is called “झूठ की गूंज”, and it is quite possibly the work of some sharp young samaritans who decided that Rahul Gandhi’s misinformation deserves a fact-check of its own.
A fitting name for a website exposing the echo chamber of lies.

A video of then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi attending the “Swatantraveer Savarkar Jayanti Samaroh” in 1988 has resurfaced and gone viral on social media.
Someone tag Rahul and Priyanka and ask them to show this to Sonia ji.
Also tell them that then-PM Indira Gandhi had also issued a postage stamp on Savarkar during her tenure, and Nehru, despite considering Savarkar controversial, had acknowledged his "important role" in the freedom struggle.
