In #India 🇮🇳, #NarendraModi is practically running unopposed in the coming elections for Prime Minister.

👉🏾 The World’s Largest Election Is a One-Man Show https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-04-18/india-s-modi-appears-set-to-retain-power-in-world-s-largest-democracy

That is surprising when you consider how many political parties exist within India 🇮🇳.

#Modi is so popular that the opposition has allegedly given up on trying to replace him.

Did you know that #India has an equivalent to Cupid?

Kamadeva is the #god of #desire. He is a beautiful man, friends with #bees & parrots, & he shoots arrows tipped with fragrant #flowers.

Kama is not fully good, however.

As he stirs lust, he'll sometimes pester wise men, so that they won't become #divine.

When he foolishly disturbs god Shiva, he's incinerated. Goddess Parvati asks for his resurrection, & he becomes a spring breeze.

#India will take delivery of two Russian-made warships in the next few months, as the two countries work around #US sanctions that created difficulties in paying for Russian weapons systems.

One ship is likely to be handed to the Indians in September, with another being delivered early next year. The delivery of the ships are two years behind schedule due to the war in #Ukraine.

So #India 🇮🇳 is enforcing a law that will fast track citizenship for refugees & undocumented migrants from #Afghanistan 🇦🇫, #Pakistan 🇵🇰 & #Bangladesh 🇧🇩—provided they are not #Muslim ☪️‽

🤯 #YouTube approved dozens of election disinformation ads ahead of the #India general election.

"We submitted 48 ads [...containing] content prohibited by YouTube’s #elections #misinformation policies, including false information around the election" like "changes to the voting age, instructions to vote by text message, and incitement to prevent certain groups from voting."

Another great research done by @globalwitness and #AccessNow.

New Scientist: “A possible impact crater discovered in India may have been caused by the largest meteorite to strike Earth in the past 50,000 years.

The meteorite could have caused a fireball, a massive shock wave and wildfires that would have spread through an area inhabited by people from the Indus valley civilisation thousands of years ago.” (via @AnirbanM)
