Delhi Confidential: Mystery man from Dhanbad claims he can ‘revolutionise’ social media presence of paramilitary forces

CENTRAL ARMED Police Forces (CAPFs) authorities are these days occupied with e-mails from a man hailing from Dhanbad, claiming that he can “revolutionise” the social media presence of the forces if given a chance. The e-mails, which drop in every other day, are being sent to all the paramilitary forces, and the sender wants the force concerned to “remove” its PRO and appoint him instead, and he will show how to handle social media. The man wants the job title of a “joint secretary” and offers to bring along a huge number of social media followers.

Culture Threads

SPEAKING AT the inauguration of an exhibition tracing places related to Buddha and Buddhism at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts on Tuesday, senior RSS functionary Suresh Soni remarked that empires come and go, but the influence of culture is long lasting. In this context, he even quoted a Chinese diplomat as saying that for 2,000 years, India ruled China without sending a single soldier. “That rule was of religion, of culture. That’s why today there is a need to connect cultural threads all over the world,” he said. The ‘Map model exhibition on Buddha’ depicts the cultural linkages of India with other countries through Buddha and his teachings.
