K.S. Nagarajan As a retired ONGC scientist and 1971 war veteran, I have appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for urgent intervention to strengthen accountability among public servants and provide institutional support to innovators whose ideas, I believe, are being lost due to bureaucratic delays. In this open letter to the Prime Minister, I argue…
KS Nagarajan There are stories of patriotism that are told on battlefields. There are others that are lived quietly, over decades, in the face of institutional indifference. The story of a 1971 war veteran, hands-on electrical and mechanical engineer and whistle-blower belongs to the latter category. After serving the nation in uniform and later working…
K.S. Nagarajan Bharat’s civilisational foundation rests on Sanatan Dharma—a way of life that evolved over millennia on the principles of Dharma, duty, virtue and social responsibility. At the heart of this philosophy was the concept of an interdependent society, where knowledge, governance, commerce and skilled occupations complemented one another for the collective welfare of society….
K S Nagarajan The increasing demand for energy and the continuous depletion of conventional energy resources have encouraged researchers and engineers to explore alternative methods of energy generation and utilization. Modern engineering focuses not only on producing energy efficiently but also on recovering and utilizing energy that would otherwise remain unexploited. Consequently, human-powered machines, energy-harvesting…
KS Nagarajan From Ashta Vasus, Santhanu Maharaja, the fisherwoman Satyavati, Bhishma’s vow, Varahamihira, Aryabhata, Vyasacharya, Valmiki Maharishi, Dronacharya, and Sukracharya — Bharat’s civilizational history has always revolved around strategy, perception, discipline, focus, and knowledge systems. The questions that arise today are not merely historical, but deeply philosophical and political. Why did Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and…
KS Nagarajan At a time when India is aggressively pushing for self-reliance, green energy, and indigenous innovation, I believe the country must also create space for independent innovators who dream of contributing to national development through original ideas and technological experimentation. My journey as an innovator has been driven by one conviction — that innovation…
KS Nagarajan The Sun is regarded as the father of all Jeevarasi (living beings), while the seas, rivers, water bodies, and the Earth are considered the mother. According to the Mahabharata, Kunti wished to test this divine principle. Fearing social stigma, she later abandoned the child, who came to be known as Karna, setting him…
K S Radhakrishnan I am a 78-year-old war veteran who served the nation during the 1971 war. I write not merely as an individual litigant, but as a whistle-blower and a citizen deeply concerned about the erosion of constitutional values. On November 10, 2025, I submitted a detailed complaint to the Central Bureau of Investigation,…
KS Nagarajan There are moments in human history when civilizations pause to ask themselves: What anchors us? What protects us from descending into chaos? For India, the answer has always been clear. The world without Bharat Dharma—not religion, but a profound way of life—would resemble a vast and dangerous forest, governed not by conscience but…
KS Nagarajan Atmanirbharta—self-reliance—is not a slogan, nor a decorative policy phrase. It is a civilisational aspiration. And it is only under a leadership rooted in national pride and purpose that this vision has begun to translate into real, measurable outcomes. Over the past decade, India has entered a league once thought out of reach: we…
