  • Threads made a unique record on the internet, more than 100 million subscribers in 5 days

    Since the advent of Instagram Threads, it has been in the news and almost everyone is talking about it. This app was launched at the beginning of this week and it is being talked about all over social media. This app has been brought as a competitive app of Twitter. Many people have signed up for this app in the first 48 hours. More than 100 million accounts have been created on this platform. Threads touched the figure of 100 million users in as little as 5 days. This platform seems to be growing faster than Chat GPT, Tik Tok and even Instagram. Twitter threatened to drag Meta to court. The rapid growth of the thread can be gauged from the number badges appearing on Instagram profiles. Its current user count has crossed 100 million and if the speed continues like this, Threads will give a tough competition to other apps in the coming hours. How big an achievement this is can be gauged from the fact that it took 2 months for Chat GPT to reach 100 million users, 9 months for TikTok, and 2.5 years for Instagram. One reason for Thread growing so fast is its integration with Instagram. Seeing the great response and growth the thread is getting, Twitter has written a letter threatening to drag Meta to court. According to this letter, Meta has hired employees fired by Twitter who had access to Meta’s sensitive data. Looking at this, it can be said that there is a strong competition going on between both the social media giants. Such growth of threads in just 48 hours shows the strength of Instagram’s user base. With the ability to reach 100 million user base much faster than its predecessors, this app has made itself a big competitor in the messaging app category.

Representatives of more than 30 countries are participating in the two-day conference, including army chiefs of about 15 countries. America is co-hosting the conference.

It is more important than ever to build good allies and partners.” India displayed some of its indigenously developed military equipment in the exhibition organized as part of the conference.

    Defense Minister Singh reiterated India’s stand for a free, open, inclusive and rules-based Indo-Pacific region in the pursuit of shared security and prosperity. He defined ‘neighborhood first’ as the cornerstone of India’s culture since ancient times.

    Underlining the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Singh said that India’s approach towards the region is defined by its ‘Act East Policy’. The Defense Minister said that India’s efforts towards building strong military partnerships with friendly countries underline its commitment to not only protect national interests but also address the global challenges faced by all.

    Army Chief General Manoj Pandey said India’s approach to the Indo-Pacific emphasizes respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries in the region, peaceful resolution of disputes and avoidance of the use of force.

    Speaking at the inaugural session of the conference, General Pandey said, “We must recognize that our methods and methods towards achieving our objectives may be different, but our goal is the same and that is an open and free Indo-Pacific. ”

    He said that India’s commitment to constructive dialogue with all parties in the region to ensure peace and stability remains unwavering and steadfast. Emphasizing the importance of Indo-Pacific, General Pandey said that the Indo-Pacific region is not just a group of nations, but it is an example of interdependence on each other. “Our goal is to build trust and strengthen cooperation,” he said.
