From walking barefoot to school in a small village in Tamil Nadu to becoming the Chairman of ISRO and playing a key role in India’s lunar missions — this is the incredible story of Dr. K. Sivan.
Born in a modest family, he faced immense hardships but never gave up on his dreams. His journey is a powerful reminder that determination, hard work, and education can take you from the smallest villages to helping the nation reach for the stars. 🇮🇳
True inspiration! Stories like these make us proud to be Indians.
What’s your biggest takeaway from his journey? 👇
Ayush, somewhere in Rajasthan does this regularly.
If you can, leave out bowls of water for birds in this terrible heat.
🇮🇳 Massive boost for "Make in India"!
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated India’s second semiconductor plant — Kaynes Semicon’s advanced OSAT facility in Sanand, Gujarat.
This marks another quick milestone under the India Semiconductor Mission. The plant has started commercial production, focusing on Intelligent Power Modules for EVs, industrial systems, and more. A significant portion of output is already lined up for exports.
Just weeks after the first plant (Micron), India is steadily building its semiconductor ecosystem — reducing import dependence, creating high-tech jobs, and strengthening our position in the global chip supply chain.
This is not just a factory — it’s a step towards technological self-reliance.
Proud moment for Indian engineering and manufacturing! 💪
Share this positive development!

I have given this a lot of thought but I am not able to understand if any of this would really work. I have discussed this with different AI but I feel like it is not thinking about the situation thoroughly.
I am not very good at writing (I have a very hectic job and I don't sleep well, so my apologies, but I request you to please give a few minutes. You will understand what I am trying to say, if you read it till the end).
What I mean by promoting Indian people is, that there are a lot us who are doing incredible work as Indians, whether it is about any civil initiatives, e.g. I saw one person had made an app/website where people can complain about garbage and then it gets tagged to the concerned authority. Then I see some people from remote villages getting medals, doing inventions or bringing good quality of life to their fellow people and making us proud.
But then all these things get very less limelight and worst, gets forgotten over time, because we all keep talking about negative news so much - wars, politics, religion etc.
And of top of that those people don't get any support because people don't know about them and in general don't have the habit of going out of their way to help them. (I know that many of you may have helped each other, but that is quite rare these days).
I really want to see our country be at the top. Because we have great talent. I know there are both types of people, those who want to build India and those who want to destroy it.
So, my question is that how can I:
Ensure that the work done by Indians (their initiatives such as free education provided by someone in a village, an open source app that someone developed, some intiative by a 10th passout who built a small gadget for their villages, omeone's fight against corruption etc.) reaches people and is NOT FORGOTTEN.
And MOST IMPROTANTLY how can I build a community around it so that we all come together to make a change.
I think that is the major thing that is different between Indians and people of any "developed" country. The sense of community and support to each other.
I just see Indians fighting with each, commenting on each other's language, religion, political leaning. That just divides us and makes all of us weaker. It's not benefitting any Indian in any way.
So, I guess what I am saying is that I want the billions of Indians to work together and move as one.
I know its difficult but when I see a small country in Europe doing great things with just a small number of people, having civics sense, I feel bad because it's not that ALL Indians have bad civic sense - many of us want to do something about it but we are all dispersed in small packets and not united enough to bring some change. There are many countries in the world with multiple languages and they live in harmony and actually having so many languages is a beautiful thing and a matter of pride that we have all kept our own cultures alive. I always get very escatic when I try to learn any Indian language from a different state even though I may never have visited that place or have any friends (I am shy, I don't have friends and I don't travel much due to social anxiety).
So, very sorry for this long post and not being able to explain my intention very clearly, but maybe I can respond to your points or questions.
At last, all that I am saying is that what are we lacking when we compare to Singapore, any European country or any other great country - you guys would know better than me. I know our politics is bad, but it can change over time. Thousands of politicians can/have to change if crores of Indians join their hands together. We never have tried to be united as one, as Indians.
I want our efforts to be combined because I know that we are great people, and we are not only wasting our lives but also letting our country get ruined.
So, my dear friends, with a very very innocent heart I ask you, what can I do to bring us all together, spread awareness about the great things we Indians are doing and then help support each other and push our country to the top.
And please don't say that we should leave this hellhole or something. I respect your feelings that make you say so, but that is not a solution for the billions of people we have here. And every life is precious.
So please, help me brainstorm some ideas on how can we progress together as Indians, independent of our policital inclination or our languages or our religions, - as Indians.

The Return of the Chola Copper Plates to India marks a major cultural restitution milestone for India. The Netherlands formally returned the 11th-century Chola-era copper plates, also known as the “Leiden Plates”, during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the country in May 2026.
These copper plates date back to the reign of Rajaraja Chola I (985–1014 CE) and are considered among the most important surviving records of the Chola Empire. The collection contains 21 copper plates weighing around 30 kg, bound by a bronze ring carrying the royal Chola seal. The inscriptions are written in both Sanskrit and Tamil.
The plates were reportedly taken to the Netherlands in the 18th century by Dutch missionary and scholar Florentius Camper during the period when Nagapattinam was under Dutch control. They later became part of the collection at Leiden University. India had been seeking their return since 2012.
Prime Minister Modi called the return “a joyous moment for every Indian,” highlighting the broader effort to bring back culturally significant artefacts removed during colonial times.
Hello Reddit Family,
I hope you are doing well.
My name is Bhavadutta Jha, and I am writing to ask for your urgent support regarding my 2 year old Son's Liver Cancer Treatment.
My little son, Dhruv Dutt Jha, is battling Liver Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi. Since July 2025, he has undergone 10 rounds of chemotherapy, and doctors advised a Liver Transplant Surgery. Surgery was performed on 6th of Jan 2026. Initially his mother was meant to be the organ donor but due to some medical complications eventually I (father) have donated my Liver.
The total treatment cost is around ₹ 31,00,000, and we have already spent ₹20,00,000 through loans and savings. We are emotionally and financially exhausted, but we are fighting every day to save our child.

IMP - Although Surgery has already been performed but we are still in desperate need of funds to clear credit card bills/Loans (which we have used to pay for the Treatment). Doctors have recommended 3 to 4 rounds of chemotherapy post operation to clear any traces of Cancer from the body and avoid recurrence

Beyond the "Appeals": 7 Structural Reforms to Fast-Track India’s GDP & Per-Capita Growth
While the recent public appeals focus on individual consumption habits, I’ve been thinking about the high-leverage structural changes that could actually move the needle on our GDP and ease of doing business.
I’ve compiled 7 ideas (visualized in the attached image) that move away from subsidies and focus on efficiency, technology, and unlocking "dead capital."
1. The GST 2.0 Ecosystem
We need a 24/7, mobile-first portal with UPI integration. If we make compliance "one-click" for MSMEs, the formalization of the economy alone could boost GST revenue by an estimated 3-5%, creating a massive war chest for infrastructure.
2. A Real Circular Economy (DRS)
Implementing a mandatory ₹5 refundable deposit on plastic/glass bottles at every local shopkeeper. This isn't just about "cleaning up"; it’s about creating a multi-billion dollar recycling industry and reducing our virgin plastic import bill.
3. Disintermediating Agriculture
Using an open protocol (like ONDC) to connect farmers directly to bulk buyers. By cutting out 5+ layers of middlemen, we can reduce post-harvest waste and put 30% more income directly into the rural economy.
4. Blockchain Land Records
The amount of capital stuck in land disputes is staggering. Moving titles to a tamper-proof digital ledger would unlock "dead capital," allowing land to be used as collateral for productive business loans.
5. The Seaweed & Blue Economy
India has a 7,500km coastline. Scaling seaweed farming offers 2x per capita income for coastal communities while providing sustainable raw materials for fertilizers and biofuels—true Atmanirbhar Bharat.
6. Portable Skill Credits
A digital locker for vocational skills. By certifying our informal workforce to global standards, we increase their "export value" and command higher wages both domestically and in foreign remittances.
7. R&D Offsets for MSMEs
Moving from "Jugaad" to IP. If we give MSMEs direct tax offsets for indigenous product design and patents, we shift from a "low-wage assembly" economy to a "high-wage innovation" economy.
I’d love to hear from this community:
Which of these do you think is the most viable from an investment perspective?
What are the primary bottlenecks you see in implementing a 24/7 GST/UPI ecosystem?
Are there any other "low-hanging fruits" that could double our per-capita income?
Bant Singh is a Sikh labourer and singer from the Jhabhar village in Mansa district, Punjab, India, who has emerged as an agricultural labour activist, fighting against the power of the landowner. Described by Amit Sengupta as "an icon of Dalit resistance he has been active in organizing poor, agricultural workers, activism that continues despite a 2006 attack that cost him both of his lower arms and his left leg." After his minor daughter was raped by some powerful men in 2000, he dared take them to court, braving threats of violence and attempted bribes. The trial culminated in life sentences for three of the culprits in 2004. On the evening of 7 January 2006, Bant Singh was returning home through some wheat fields. He had just been campaigning for a national agricultural labour rally to be held in Andhra Pradesh in January. He was suddenly waylaid by a gang of seven men, suspected to be sent by Jaswant and Niranjan Singh, the current and former headmen of his village who have links with the Indian National Congress party. One of them brandished a revolver to prevent any resistance while the other six set upon him with iron rods and axes beating him to a pulp. He was left for dead, and a phone call was made to Beant Singh, a leading man in Jhabhar, to pick up the dead body. However, Bant Singh was alive, though barely. He was first taken to civil hospital in Mansa but was not given proper treatment there. Then he was taken to the PGI at Chandigarh, where both lower arms and one leg had to be amputated since gangrene had set in by then, and his kidneys had collapsed due to blood loss. The doctor was eventually suspended for his conduct
From not being able to speak a single word properly for almost the first 2-3 years of his life… to confidently standing on a stage and anchoring an entire school event at just 6 years old.
My little cousin has come such a long way and I genuinely cannot explain how proud I felt watching him today. 🥹❤️
Life moves quietly sometimes. One day you’re worried sick about a child not speaking properly, and another day you’re sitting in the audience trying not to cry while he speaks into a microphone in front of hundreds of people.
