Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana has hit the theatres, and India is already divided over it, particularly the casting of Sai Pallavi as Mata Sita. But wait, why does all of this feel so eerily familiar? Almost like déjà vu. Step into the time machine and travel back to 1948. Thread 1/18

In 1973, as Indira Gandhi arrived near Chikhaldara, Maharashtra, to inaugurate a tiger reserve, a local woman approached her. There was something unusual about her. Once upon a time, people in the region had believed she was a ghost. She had a photograph in her hand. Thread 1/14

On an ordinary day in 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius exploded. Within a day city of Pompeii was gone, buried under metres of volcanic ash. There’s an Indian goddess who survived the eruption of Vesuvius and stayed under the ash for almost 1,900 years.

Ashoke Sen, the celebrated physicist from Kolkata, has just become the first Indian to win the prestigious Oskar Klein Medal for his groundbreaking work in string theory and our understanding of black holes. But black holes have more to do with Kolkata than you think. Thread 1/12

Professor Ashoke Sen is an extraordinary human. In 2012, he won the inaugural Fundamental Physics Prize, worth $3 million. He could’ve well used the amount for personal luxury, instead he donated a large chunk of it to help students, fund fellowships & support science in India.
