Akhand Bharat real-time :: Accepting pre-orders till 2029
Shatranj (Chess)
Chess is considered to strengthen the mind. At a New York event I went to after the September 11, 2001 WTC, Pentagon, and possibly the Senate attacks, the world's number 1 at the time, Garry Kasparov, after the game was asked by an audience member, "Why didn't you play this move and then continue with whatever?" and the Russian psychology (even though he is from Azerbaijan) is that well if the audience member knows so much about how to play chess then be my guest, you play.
Lesson learned: You have to work super hard to become the best of the best and don't let an amateur in the audience affect you.
Also, at the event two GMs were there. One American. The other someplace in the world. The second one says to Garry, something like, you were awesome, I wish you would have played to the end, to which Garry lowers his head a little, smiling slightly, trying not to show his annoyance. The American says to Garry Kasparov, something like, you played brilliantly as usual and it was a beautiful, well-played game, well, at least, you got the draw that you wanted, to which Garry smiles a bigger smile.
Lesson learned: Not everything is about you or the talkative audience member. Sometimes you just have to say and do what is needed to respect and give to the number 1 in the world.
I can guarantee you the Chinese will investigate 100 million potential liar-liars of the 1990s to 202? if they grew even slightly faster than the norm if The One who Won says in some areas finish the best at last so if there last name was Zhang...
India has had neighbors with their noses and tentacles affecting the quality of life, particularly after 1947. When there's no trace of warfare, that is supreme. When there are slight traces, the decision-makers to the immediate west decide what action to take can have their decisions affected when their personal or financial interests can be devastated. The devastation can be very real and plausibly felt by them on them by Bharat. In chess, the pieces, are the low to mid-level, the keys to directly affecting the personal or financial interests of those that wish for "revenge" ("badla").
One must remember the knowledge Bharat has given: "On the battlefield of warriors it is for the world to say the warrior that is number 1." It was true in the times of the Mahabharat. There are honorable ways to warfare: previously "fighters" would rail against terrorists using children and women. In 2024, so much has changed, the "rules" of "fighters". Perfect example: reindeer hunting games with human beings.
I will share a news article about a Chinese guy, the guy's read Sun Tzu, and he knows how to act and follow Sun Tzu, so he is from California, gets a divorce from his white wife, she ends up stealing so much money he worked for. He always knew she was connected socially so he decides to go to China in 2002, stay for 2 months, tour, he knows the special agents are going to be told to follow him, they end up spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, he goes back to the US, resumes work life, and they do not even realize what they've done until it is too late. Moral? Sometimes it is better, it is, to be real and not poke nosy noses in other people's nation(s) or personal life and when, like the Chinese man, responds in unequal measure, ask why? Answer: self-explanatory.
Why is deception a central pillar to warfare? All action is based on input, on information. The wrong information, and the enemy bases decisions to engage in warfare.
Deception is used in warfare to get the enemy into making wrong moves. Distraction is used in warfare to get enough time to destroy. In The Art of War by Sun Tzu, the wise man said, "Act weak when you are strong. And strong when you are weak." I think those that are employed need to leave the defensive mindset. Generally the older generation, after asked a few questions from a younger generation worker, what they will do is they will respond in a defensive way, keeping in mind that the answer is limited to what will not hurt their position.
Knowing Indian psychology, most Indians like to tell people what to do and usually those are the people who like to talk when they don’t know what they're talking about. That is actually why almost all poor programmes fail because the poor person’s attitude is we didn’t want to do the work or whatever. Before they were poor. After telling them what to do, now they’re poor and unhappy.
It is so God damn arrogant to say beggars cannot be choosers. I have the real-world experience of a New Delhi young man saying that to me when I was looking for a new place in 2004. I am thinking, dude, you have no idea who you’re talking to.
To mediocre Indians: आप औसत भारतीय कितने बेवकूफ़ हो. एक ओएस नहीं है. अपने कब्जे में पाकिस्तान नहीं हैं. किसी के टोकने के तुम खुद को होशियार समझते हो। इसका मतलब हुआ तुम 20 मिनट होशियार हो और बाकी 23 घंटे 40 मिनट तुम बक बक बेवकूफ रहते... कुत्ते जैसे?
actually... वो बात में यकीन कर सकता हूँ।
To mediocre Pakistanis: अगर आप कश्मीर की बात करते हैं तो भारत उसमें शामिल होगा। और कहां से बात करते हैं? चुराया हुआ ज़मीन से. पहली बात ये है कि 1890 से पहले इतिहास में ना कोई पाकिस्तान का नाम गिनता ना बनता। इसलिए आप चुराया हुआ ज़मीन से बात करते हैं। बेवकूफ हो.
ना कश्मीर संवाद सकते है ना पाकिस्तान. खुद पाकिस्तान में सुन्नी-शिया लड़ाई होती है, इसाई या हिंदुओं पर हमला करते हैं। अफगानिस्तान पर हमला करते हैं. इंडिया पे हमला करते हैं. दुनिया से पैसे लेते हैं और खुदको संवाद नहीं सकते।
हम को वो चुराया हुआ ज़मीन वापस नहीं चाहिए लेकिन ना भारत ना भारत की कश्मीर पर हमला करना। अगर हम चाहे तो तुमको ख़तम कर सकते। और याद रखना भारत तुम्हारा चुराया ज़मीन से हमेशा आगे होंगे ।
Two of the biggest nations in Asia
Indian and the culture of China is far more higher in norms together for 2.8 billion people.
With respect to developing relations, the less number of indirect via via connections in building the relationship, applies to India, and the less number of individuals involved, the more the accountability and the more the chances of successful outcomes - yin and yang - for the trusted individuals directly reporting to the respective leaders of the two nations and the progress of the practical working relationship between the two nations. Go very slow.
To capable Indians, take care of business. Don't talk. From now you need to spend your money into destroying a land to the immediate west and east.
The Chinese are practical in their actions. They don’t talk. They deliberate. The word means careful decision-making. That’s why I respect the Chinese.
The psychological reason why the Chinese respect power is because it has ramifications on action.
The Chinese language is more difficult to learn than English (how you read that, +/-, reflects the way you think). Chinese psychology: It’s difficult for foreigners because they like everything so easy, push a button, done, order fast food drive-thru, no, slowly-cooked duck take time, education take time, training take time, understand their culture take time. That’s why they respect people that understand them - you see take time.
In the Chinese political mind, "Taiwan" doesn't exist.
Here's a preview of the history of U.S.-China-Taiwan relations:
1. When the U.S.A. established diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, there was ambiguous wording. The U.S. elites later used One China Two Systems and by manipulating English words, Taiwan got sold $100s of millions of dollars of weapons.
I am not sure how it is possible to convince yourself it makes sense to say one China and yet sell weapons to a part of China (Taiwan) to use force against another part of China.
2. The U.S.A. then ended up losing the trust of the Chinese.
3. China is militarily close to Taiwan. It has historically been a part of China:"then-leader Chiang Kai-shek's troops were defeated by Mao Zedong's Communist army Chiang, the remnants of his Kuomintang (KMT) government fled to Taiwan in 1949." Online and in books.
On a geographic level, you cannot change the location of Taiwan.
If you're an American or European, arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant where you willingly choose to ignore Chinese history, let go of your worthless trillion-dollar ego, you cannot escape the reality, you are hereby denied the capability, from thousands of years of geological land formations, long before your mother gave birth to you, and long after you leave the world, you are hereby denied the ability to geographically change the location of Taiwan. From the second largest military in the world. Understand?

What is one of the worst kinds of fears?
Answer: To keep individuals from having literacy.
Introduction
Software vs. Hardware Etymology. Let’s think of the word software and hardware and the need of white people to confuse. Smile. What does the e in E-mail stand for? Answer: Electronic. Let’s look at the word software. Soft War E -> Soft War Electronic -> Electronic Soft War Hardware -> Hard War E -> Hard War Electronic -> Electronic Hard War Software is used for soft power to acquire and build a psychological profile of the computer user. Hardware is used to gain control of the physical components of the computer user. 1 of my ideas.
To mediocre Bharatiya log:तुम कितने बेवकूफ हो. तुम खुदको होशियार समझते हो जब तुम अमेरिकी लोग साथ मिलकर नेगोशिएट करते हो लेकिन बुलते हैं कि वो लोग तुम्हारे साथ क्यों नेगोशिएट करते हैं? 1998 बुल्गाये?
अगर आप $112,000,000 नकद निकालते हैं, मान लीजिए, आप अमेरिकी गाड़ी में वो नकद रुपैया डालते हैं, और अमेरिकी डिजिटल रास्ते पर ड्राइव करते हैं, आपका पैसा नहीं है, क्योंकि आपका ओएस या चिप्स नहीं है। मैं कितनी बार समझौ. बिजली की आपूर्ति या लैंडलाइन सुरक्षित नहीं है दिल्ली में और एआई की बड़ी-बड़ी बातें किसी को विचलित करती हैं।
तुम होशियार नहीं हो. तुम कितना समय बर्बाद करते हो। तुम्हारी औसत बुद्धि और कुछ नहीं। CIA होशियार है, और तुम CIA नहीं हो, भले ही तू खुदको समझता है कि तुम उनके लिए काम करते हो। असली दोस्त तुम्हारी पोजीशन पाक या बांग्ला की बारे में समझते हैं। नकली दोस्त मेडिकोर अमेरिकन रा जैसा ना ओएस, ना पाक, ना बांग्ला की कुछ फिक्र है। वो बिलकुल तुम्हारा जैसा है: कुढ़ की स्वार्थी जीवन और ज़िन्दगी किसी और के हाथ में हैं ।
If India succeeds in developing an indigenous Operating System, the money involved is: The MS Operating System was worth Rs. 35,700 crore 50.00 lakhs in 1998.
Independent Indian technology is critical to India. Proof?

That is the revenue I earned in INR of the first version of India by 2100: Independent and International.
You have to develop countermeasures to verify (which I have done) that there’s wavelight capable of picking up brainwave thoughts. One countermeasure: lakhs of people thinking and developing OS at the same time is very difficult to counter.
Nanoscale gears then it can be on various materials like steel or the scalp.
Noise/Silence/Bhajans is one countermeasure. Steel to block the transmission of signals from ceiling/wall/scalp is second countermeasure.
Various countermeasures to nanogears.
.15 millisecond capability in response to speak independently undermining.
Start with vacuum tubes and landlines along with independent no-foreign influence of the electricity supply: build the foundation.
Foreign devices cannot detect the authenticity of independent technology.
Nanometer devices cannot affect/fly into tubes.
Nanometer devices can affect nanometer/millimeter technology.
Nanometer spying devices can fly into clean room.
Focus on the landlines.
Same time in different underground/shelter/basement centers have mm and nm tech. Central parts of India are more secure than other parts of India. Kill corruption. Secure electricity. Secure power. Secure infrastructure. Levels of security clearances.
Anyway tying it all together: A capable elite can now see why it is in India's interest to buy and print the second version of the book. The first wave of my countermeasures to ensure the path to independent technology for India has worked. My credibility. Corrupt "dead": e.g. Naidu. Jaswant. My counterintelligence. Less terrorism. Infrastructure. Pakistan. Banglandesh. Larger space for central parts of Akhand Bharat. Copies "floating around". Throw a few in a cave or a moving "object", animal or where it is windy. India is the 7th largest nation in the world with 1.4 billion people. Copies which don't have the nanogear on it: Ink not authenticated can deliver the location of the paper the ink is on. Closer to security: verbal signals/gestures with varying communication flows which leads to code + manufacture writing ink that cannot be infiltrated, that is, trusted ink + trusted engineers + trusted steel centers/shelters/basements + trusted tests = trusted device.
It is an all-out war below the B-threshold for securing security interests of India.
