Wіthіn minutes of thе аnnоunсеmеnt, the Indian gоvеrnmеnt'ѕ TіkTоk ассоunt MуGоv, whісh hаd 1.1 mіllіоrn fоllоwеrѕ, wаѕ dіѕаblеd.
Thе mоvе comes a dау аftеr Prіmе Minister Nаrеndrа Mоdі said Indіа hаѕ given a "befitting rеѕроnѕе" tо Chіnа. He аlѕо ѕроkе оf thе соuntrуwіdе call fоr bоусоtt of Chіnеѕе gооdѕ, juxtароѕіng іt аgаіnѕt thе government's "Atmа Nіrbhаr Bhаrаt" саmраіgn. "Wе wіll buy lосаl аnd bе vосаl for lосаl аnd thіѕ wіll hеlр Indіа bесоmе ѕtrоngеr," hе ѕаіd.

"Thе Modi gоvеrnmеnt shows іtѕ tremendous rеѕоlvе аnd dexterity оf еngаgіng Chіnа оn multірlе frоntѕ and hitting Chіnа whеrе іt hurtѕ thе most," ѕаіd a раrtу source.

“When Survival Created the First Friendship Between Man and Beast”
This story takes us back about 20,000 years from today, to a time when humans lived in small tribes. In the story, we see ancient European people who lived in tribal groups and hunted together. We are introduced to the leader of this tribe, whose name is Ergen. A few months later, winter is about to arrive, so Ergen goes out hunting with the people of his tribe to gather food for the cold season. In front of them is a very large herd of wild bison. Everyone crawls closer to the bison. Ergen, being the leader of the tribe, waits for the right moment and signals the attack, and everyone rushes toward the bison. To escape the hunters, the bison start running in the opposite direction, and one by one many of them fall into a ravine. However, one bison survives and, in anger, charges toward Ergen’s son, Noyan. Noyan has come on a hunt for the first time and does not know how to protect himself. Ergen tells his son to move out of the way, but Noyan gets scared and starts running. The wild bison quickly approaches Noyan, lifts him onto its horns, and runs toward the ravine. Seeing this, Ergen throws his spear at the bison to save his son. The spear hits the bison, but despite being injured, it does not let go of Noyan and instead throws him toward the edge of the ravine. From here, the story goes into a flashback, one week earlier, where we see the tribe preparing for the hunt. They are making different kinds of sharp weapons from stones. This was not just preparation; new people who wanted to join the hunt had to make such stone weapons. Whoever made the sharpest and most pointed weapon was selected for the hunt. In this competition, Ergen’s son Noyan also succeeds. That night, Noyan’s mother tells Ergen not to take Noyan on the hunt with him, saying that he is still a child. She says that she loves him very much and does not want to lose him. Ergen replies that winter is coming and at this time of the year everyone goes hunting. If they do not hunt, they will die of hunger during the winter, and Noyan must prove that he is his son. The next morning, all the people of the tribe leave for the hunt. Noyan’s mother feels anxious that something might happen to her son, but Ergen reassures her and says not to worry, nothing will happen to Noyan. Then they all set off on the hunt. After going some distance, they encounter another tribe that, like them, has also gone out hunting to gather food for the winter. After traveling a long distance, they reach a stone structure that was built by their ancestors. This journey is very dangerous, and many of their elders had lost their lives during it, which is why they built this stone structure in their memory. Moving forward, they spot a wild boar, which they injure with a spear. Ergen tells his son Noyan to kill it, but Noyan has never hunted before. He panics and is unable to kill the boar. Ergen then snatches the stone dagger from his hand, kills the boar, and says: “I never thought you would turn out to be so cowardly. Only the strong survive here — this is the law of the jungle.” At night, while they are eating their hunt, strange sounds are suddenly heard. Ergen tells everyone to stay alert. At that moment, a lion appears and carries away one of the boys. The next morning, they make a small grave in memory of that boy and continue their journey. Despite walking many miles, they do not find any more prey. After walking the entire day, they decide to spend the night in a cave. There, Ergen makes star-shaped tattoos on Noyan’s hand and tells him that these stars will appear in the night sky, and if he follows them, he will find his way back home. In reality, this is a map, so that if someone gets lost during the hunt, they can find their way back home.
