Why India is with Israel ..

We see lot of pro-palestine demonstrations across the world. People have right to protest.

As long as Israeli refugees are in Hamas / Palestine custody and Hamas leaders are continuing attacking Israelis from under the hospitals, let Israel decide.. 

Let us ask Hamas / Palestine to release all the 240 hostages and then if Israel attacks the hospital, Israel is at fault. Not until all the Israeli hostages are released..

For Israel it is a question of survival. And Israel is not going to budge to these radical Islam followers targeting to wipe out Israel from the earth. 

In spite of defeat in all earlier wars with Israel, radical Arab leaders and their countries have not learnt any lesson of modesty and accommodation. They are nothing and a big zero in front of Israeli intellectual, economic, technological and military might. This is why Arabs and Islamic terrorists are fuming at Israel.

Even defeat after defeat, why do the *Arabs shamelessly* poke the Jews repeatedly and invite reprisals, violence and death ?

The feeling of inferiority and repeated defeat of the Arabs in Jewish hands is boiling in their minds, leading them to replicate such blunders regularly from time to time. They know Arabs are no match for the superior Jewish brains and its war machines. Wars of 1948–49, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, and 2006 are examples for the world to see. 

" The hardest thing in war is not dying, but living with defeat." - Paul Fussell

Peace loving countries are always on the side of TRUTH. Eventhough India as a vibrant democratic nation will not suppress dissent arising from some quarters, India as a great peaceful, cultural, intellectual leader of the world always remains with ISRAEL, ALWAYS ..

Top ten technological Innovations of all time ..

I have compiled a list of the top ten innovations (through Internet resources) that have had a profound and lasting impact on human history and society: starting with the first at number 1 to the tenth at number 10.

1. The Wheel (circa 3500 BC): The invention of the wheel revolutionized transportation and machinery, enabling the development of carts, chariots, and various mechanical systems.

2. The Printing Press (15th century): Johannes Gutenberg's printing press made mass production of books and documents possible, democratizing knowledge and information dissemination. Paved way for mass education and raising human life standards.
   

3. Electricity (18th century): The harnessing of electricity has led to a wide range of technological advancements, including electric lighting, motors running generators, electronics, and modern smart grid power systems.

4. Steam Engine (18th century): The steam engine powered the Industrial Revolution, transforming manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture.

5. Telegraph (19th century): The telegraph enabled long-distance communication by transmitting coded messages over electrical wires, laying the foundation for modern telecommunications. Precursor to the Internet.
   

6. Internal Combustion Engine (19th century): The internal combustion engine powered automobiles and revolutionized transportation, leading to the modern automotive industry and the development of the Spark Ignition high capacity engines powering all global heavy duty land based transportation.
   

7. Internet (20th century): The creation of the World Wide Web and the internet has transformed how people communicate, access information, and conduct business globally. Geographical Information systems through Internet maps has made transportation and exploration of unknown land quite easy
   

8. Penicillin (20th century): The discovery of antibiotics, starting with penicillin, revolutionized medicine by treating bacterial infections and saving countless lives. Even though we are come very much ahead in antibiotics since Penicillin, it has improved our health and helped us successfully wade through many global health threats.
   

9. Transistors and Microchips (20th century): The development of transistors and microchips paved the way for the birth of the digital revolution enabling modern electronics, including computers, smartphones, and the digital age including AI, Robotics, 3D Printing, IoT etc to thrive
   

10. Solar Power (20th century): The harnessing of solar energy for electricity generation is a major step toward sustainable and renewable energy sources, addressing environmental concerns. Our dependence on non-renewable energy resources and the environmental pollution it resulted in is being turned upside down by the emergence of renewable resources, most important being solar energy, besides wind and tidal energy.

    Nuclear energy through fission and fusion has also been a great technological innovation of the 20th century, but it poses as great a threat to humanity (with potential to wipe out the whole human race) as it is a blessing and development.

    Artificial Intelligence in the growing stages (Artificial Narrow Intelligence - ANI and Artificial General Intelligence - AGI) is also a great technological innovation that it is to have the same impact as electricity has had on humans for over two and a half centuries and still continues to have a strangling grip.
    

This list represents just a small selection of significant technological innovations throughout history. Many other inventions have had a profound impact on human society, and the importance of each innovation can be viewed from different perspectives, depending on the context and the criteria used for evaluation. 

 As a person born in the 60s, I have had the good opportunity of living through the emergence and commercialisation of the innovations of 

• Internet, 
• transistors and microprocessor chips and 
• Solar power. 

I am hopeful that in the coming years with the 4th Industrial revolution heating up, we can see many more great technological innovations that will make our life comfortable and productive.
