๐ง๐น Petrol Price in Bhutan vs. ๐ฎ๐ณ India
In Thimphu (Bhutanโs capital), petrol is priced at around Nu 66.05 per litre, which is approximately โน65โโน66 at current exchange rates .
In Indian cities like Delhi and Lucknow, petrol prices hover around โน94.7โโน94.8 per litre as of late July 2025 .
This means petrol in Bhutan is roughly โน30 per litre cheaper than in India.

This means petrol in Bhutan is roughly โน30 per litre cheaper than in India.
Why Is Petrol Cheaper in Bhutan?
1. No Indian domestic taxes
Bhutan imports all fuel from India under a bilateral agreement. Since exports are exempt from Indiaโs central excise duty, state VAT, and dealer commissions (which together add over 50% to the price), Bhutanese consumers pay much less .
2. Strategic/geopolitical pricing
India deliberately offers concessional pricing to Bhutanโpart of its โneighborhood-firstโ policy and strategic partnership. Prices are aligned with those offered to Nepal, a move implemented in April 2023 .
3. Lower logistics costs
Fuel transportation within the shared land border and less extensive infrastructure reduces shipping and handling costs within Bhutan, especially in border regions like Phuentsholing .

๐ Born: 22 December 1887
๐ From: Erode, Tamil Nadu, India
๐ Self-taught Genius | Mathematical Legend
๐น Without any formal training, Ramanujan produced nearly 3,900 results in mathematics โ many of which continue to inspire researchers even today.
๐น His notebooks, filled with theorems and formulas, were centuries ahead of his time.
๐น Collaborated with British mathematician G.H. Hardy, who once said:
"The greatest natural mathematical genius I have ever encountered."
๐ก He believed his formulas were visions from a divine source โ especially from the goddess Namagiri.
๐งฎ Even today, Ramanujanโs mock theta functions are used in black hole physics, string theory, and more!
๐ป Ramanujan didnโt just calculate numbersโฆ he saw them dance. ๐ป

๐ฎ๐ณ 15th August โ The Day We Breathed Freedom ๐ฎ๐ณ
On this very day in 1947, the midnight sky witnessed the dawn of a new nation. After 200 years of colonial rule, India finally broke the chains of oppression. The tricolour fluttered high for the first time, carrying with it the hopes, tears, and dreams of millions.
This freedom was not given โ it was earned. It was bought with the courage of countless freedom fighters, the sacrifice of those who never saw the sunrise of independence, and the unwavering faith of ordinary men and women who dared to believe in a free India.
From the quiet protests of Mahatma Gandhi to the revolutionary roar of Bhagat Singh, from the pain of partition to the joy of sovereignty, our journey was steeped in both heartbreak and triumph.
Today, as we stand under the same tricolour, let us not forget that freedom is fragile โ it must be protected, nurtured, and honoured every single day.
This Independence Day, remember their struggle. Live their dream.
๐ฎ๐ณ Jai Hind. Vande Mataram. ๐ฎ๐ณ
