The Reality Check: 141 Crores, Zero Golds As a nation of 141 crores, it’s disheartening that we couldn’t secure a single gold medal in the latest Olympic Games. The root cause of this embarrassment lies in the very foundation of our system—government corruption that permeates from the grassroots and the deplorable infrastructure for budding athletes. Our schools, which should be nurturing future talent, have turned into factories of mediocrity. We send our children to schools with the hope of providing them with quality education and opportunities for holistic development. But how many schools truly encourage and invest in sports and cultural activities? Positive reinforcement in these areas is almost non-existent. Adding to this is the alarming role of the internet in our children’s lives. With internet access being practically free and unlimited at just ₹300, it’s disturbing that the government has imposed taxes on essential school books and stationery but not on the internet. This tax-free internet has become a breeding ground for distractions—young minds are preoccupied with making reels and memes, seeking validation in a virtual world. Our country is on a troubling path, and if we don’t address these issues now, the future of our children is at stake. It’s high time we re-evaluate our priorities and make meaningful changes for a brighter, more promising tomorrow. Image courtesy:- India Today

Are you ready for the second half of the chessboard? There’s a powerful lesson hidden in the squares of a chessboard. Imagine placing one grain of rice on the first square, then doubling it on each subsequent square. That means, 1 on the first square, 2 on the second square, 4 on the third and so on. At first, the numbers seem small, manageable, even insignificant. But by the time you reach the second half of the chessboard, the growth becomes staggering That is over 18 quintillion grains on the 64th square alone! This is enough rice to cover the entire country of India with a metre-high layer of rice. This is a metaphor for exponential growth in all areas of life. Whether it’s technology, personal development, or investments the early stages often feel slow, with progress barely noticeable. But when you reach the tipping point, the results can be astonishing. The challenge is recognizing that the journey requires patience and persistence. The rewards come not in the first half but in the second half of the chessboard That is where growth accelerates beyond what seems possible. Are you prepared to see it through? #GrowthMindset #ExponentialGrowth #PatienceAndPersistence #SuccessJourney #LongTermThinking

The #Wisdom I always thought that #enlightened has power equivalent to God. Why every enlightened Guru instead of making India number 1, is focusing on ensuring more and more people reach to enlightenment! They can easily tell where is gold, oil or diamond hidden on earth. They can see the future. Its so easy to make India top economy. So uplifting myself is more important for a Guru. This make sense, when we knew that even if I become billgates, it don't ensure my next lifetime will be same. If I spend hundreds of lifetime, exit is most important. Wisdom is like physics. When I was studying 12th - I felt I know whole physics, when I gone to specialization then I thought I know some physics. I am sure that scientist would feel like they know very little physics. Similarly in #Spirituality. One who don't have any ethereal experience feel like they know everything but one who awakened, realize that they know nothing. For someone, my growth is more important than nation. Commandable. No wonder, in vedas they say Guru Bina Gati nahi

India as a Chess Superpower: A Legitimate Claim? The recent dominance of Indian chess players on the global stage has reignited the debate surrounding India's legitimacy as a chess superpower. While the term "superpower" often carries connotations of military might and economic dominance, its application to the realm of sports is a complex issue. To understand India's claim to chess supremacy, it is essential to examine the criteria that underpin such a designation. Traditionally, a superpower is characterized by sustained dominance, a deep talent pool, and a significant impact on the global landscape of the sport. India's impressive performance in international chess tournaments, including the recent triumphs at the Chess Olympiads, undoubtedly fulfills the criterion of sustained dominance. The nation's emergence of numerous world-class players, such as Viswanathan Anand, Praggnanandhaa R., and Gukesh D., demonstrates a deep talent pool that rivals even the most established chess nations. However, the question of India's impact on the global chess landscape is more nuanced. While Indian players have undoubtedly made significant contributions to the game, the true measure of a superpower lies in its ability to shape and influence the broader ecosystem. India's role in fostering the growth of chess in the region, as well as its efforts to promote the game at grassroots level, are crucial factors to consider. Additionally, the nation's influence on chess pedagogy and strategic thinking can further solidify its claim to superpower status. Of course, the game can take inspiration from its sibling Cricket and how BCCI has transformed the game to make it more appealing. In conclusion, while India's achievements in chess are undeniable, the legitimacy of its claim to superpower status requires a comprehensive evaluation of its sustained dominance, talent pool, and impact on the global chess landscape. As the nation continues to produce exceptional players and contribute to the development of the game, its position as a chess superpower is likely to become increasingly solidified. #chess #india #superpower #legitimacy #globaldomination #talentpool #chesspedagogy #strategicthinking Pic Source: Amul Twitter Account Disclaimer: Views are personal.

Today, we celebrate World Students’ Day, a global tribute declared by the United Nations on Dr. Kalam’s birthday, October 15. Yes, that’s right—a whole day dedicated to students because of a man who was, quite frankly, too busy shaping India’s future to be dragged down by petty blame games. So, while some people in the community may prefer to spend their time pointing fingers and complaining, here was a man with laser focus on innovation, education, and progress. Dr. Kalam didn’t have time for excuses; he had missiles to develop and youth to inspire. Isn’t it remarkable that while others debate who’s at fault for their shortcomings, Dr. Kalam was busy building a legacy that literally lifted a nation’s capabilities? Maybe, just maybe, it’s time to stop blaming others for our situations and instead learn a thing or two from this “Missile Man.” So, happy birthday, Dr. Kalam 🎂, and thank you for showing us that actions really do speak louder than complaints. India 🇮🇳 is stronger because of you. It’s a good time to reflect—who do you want to be? Someone endlessly pointing fingers, or someone building rockets? 🚀 #WorldStudentsDay #DrAPJAbdulKalam #Inspiration #Leadership #Learning #Education #StopBlameGames #SelfImprovement #LegacyOfKalam #Motivation #CommunityGrowth #YouthInspiration #StayFocused #PositiveChange #LinkedInInsights

Why White Evaluation is Important for India: A Strategic Perspective In India, the concept of "White evaluation" extends beyond chess, representing a broader strategic framework of assessing opportunities and positioning for success. Just as White in chess gains an inherent advantage by moving first, India’s evaluation of its position in the global arena is vital for shaping its future. India, as an emerging global power, must evaluate its position in terms of economic growth, geopolitical influence, and technological advancement. By doing so, it can build on its strengths, such as its large workforce, vibrant democracy, and strategic location, while addressing challenges like poverty, infrastructure gaps, and regional tensions. White evaluation in the Indian context means taking proactive steps in diplomacy, innovation, and policy to secure an advantageous position. It’s about setting the tone for long-term development, fostering international partnerships, and building a competitive edge in industries like technology, space, and renewable energy. Furthermore, just as in chess, India must be flexible, adjusting strategies based on shifting global dynamics. Understanding the nuances of White evaluation ensures that India doesn’t just react but anticipates and adapts to emerging opportunities and risks. This foresight is key to India’s rise as a leading player on the world stage. #India #StrategicEvaluation #GlobalLeadership

Chess in India: A Tale of Two Regions – Why South India Leads and What the North Can Learn Chess in India has a rich history, but its popularity and prominence are not evenly spread across the country. South India, particularly Tamil Nadu, has emerged as a chess powerhouse, producing some of the country's top players, including five-time World Champion Viswanathan Anand. This region's dominance in chess is fueled by a strong intellectual culture, dedicated infrastructure, and significant government support. In contrast, Northern India struggles to match the success of its southern counterparts. Despite having the potential, the North lacks the same level of grassroots support, resources, and investments in chess development. This disparity leaves aspiring players without adequate access to training, tournaments, and financial backing. So, what needs to change? It’s clear that to bridge the gap, there needs to be more institutional support, government investment, and expansion of chess infrastructure across the country. As the digital age brings new opportunities for growth, it’s time for India to unite its passion for chess and build a nationwide culture that nurtures talent from every region. https://lnkd.in/g6ndd8hU #ChessInIndia #RegionalDivide #SouthIndia #NorthIndia #ViswanathanAnand #ChessCulture #SportsDevelopment #IndianChess #ChessCareer
