Look at Israel a tiny country nothing compared to our size with a tiny expat community in the US. Look at the size & heft of American Indians heading trillion dollar valuation Silicon Valley unicorns. And, look at the Israeli impact on American politics & the cowardly Indian lot content to let Trump attack India every day as long as they get to play
India’s most popular leader, who entered the 2024 election dreaming of 400 seats, lost nearly 10% of his vote share at his own constituency, abruptly, without any organisational collapse or visible anti-incumbency.
This didn’t happen randomly. A "conditional" support base, one that supports power only in exchange for special privileges and constant political reassurance, shifted its voting pattern almost overnight, triggered merely by the narrative that “samvidhan badal diya jayega.”
The result was telling: Modi’s victory margin crashed from 4.8 lakh in 2019 to just 1.5 lakh in 2024. He sailed through because another group, the "unconditional" supporters, who ask little, defend fully, and absorb mistakes silently, held the fort. Imagine the historical embarrassment if 75,000 more votes had shifted toward Ajay Rai.
Now, the BJP has managed to alienate even this unconditional group. Their tolerance had a long rope, but even that has been breached. It won’t end too well for the party unless they make quick amends.
Glad to see Laalu alive to see his family getting decimated at the polls.
Thousands of 90s kids who had to live away from their parents in boarding schools just to avoid getting kidnapped, thousands who had to forfeit their ancestral land as a bribe to get a clerical job, millions who studied hard under a lantern or a petromax to somehow escape the jungle raj. All of them, across the world, doing well, now looking at their phone screens and the numbers, and smiling. This is victory.
Make no mistake - India will avenge this terror attack with all its might.
But this time round a billion Indians demand an assurance - that anyone who attends the funeral of terrorists who carried out this attack, will be considered a potential terrorist. Enough is enough.
@IndianTechGuide This is only a temporary arrangement for now.
The Supreme Court has now expanded the matter to a pan-India level, with cases from High Courts being transferred to it. Hopefully, the final verdict will be stronger.
Bottom line: Our roads must be free of strays.
Amazing talent on both teams but if I had to choose one player from either team it would be @mdsirajofficial .. His efforts throughout the series have been incredible .. #ENGvIND
This is amazing! Andhra Pradesh 🇮🇳 will develop Indias “quantum valley”.
Chandrababu Naidu is back as the Chief Minister of Andhra. Everyone can feel the difference. It brings this southern Indian state center stage.
Naidu was the man behind the development of Hyderabad. He transformed that historic, but a bit sleepy, city into a vibrant IT capital of India, today with more skyscrapers than any city in Europe.
Now he will replicate the success and transform Amaravati into Indias Quantum Valley.
This is a wonderful ambition. I worked with Naidu in the past and I am confident he is the right man to pull it off. Let’s wish him complete success!

In India, following these few survival skills could cut your chances of dying randomly by half :
Don't go to crowded places.
Follow defensive driving. Don't stare, abuse (even with closed glass), or argue with aggressors on the road.
Anticipate stray/pet dogs at any spot. Don't leave your kids out of sight.
Don't walk or drive under electrical wires, especially look for them in the streets before you enter.
Be a socio-political critic, but try not to hurt the ego of any politician, babu, cop, or religious fanatic personally.
Learn 8–10 common phrases of the local language in language-sensitive states if you are planning to stay there for long, or just carry a skull cap.
Anticipate open sewers and manholes, especially on roads you are not familiar with.
Don't stand under giant billboards or flyovers, especially during rains.
Try not to go out at night. If you have to, don't go alone. Especially women of your family, don't care if someone calls you a misogynist.
Avoid nightclubs where Scorpio/Thar-wale urban dehatis are allowed.
Avoid eating out as much as you can, especially street food.
Health insurance is almost a fraud, govt hospitals are in bad shape, and private ones are too costly. So better stay in shape and avoid frequent hospital visits. Run, exercise, eat healthy.
