@JaipurDialogues you'll be shocked to see who NaMo follows on X. People who regularly hurl misogynistic abuses and also your occasional rape threats.
Whatever he is doing at his job is clearly lamented. But when you start making someone an idol, it’s always worth taking a closer look at who they
@elonmusk Okay GDP per capita is the same as median household income - or share of expenses w.r.t median household income? Share of expense associated with housing and increase in wages w.r.t inflation.
Are you that fucking dense to reduce multidimenstional issues to single stats?
Why would a company earning 67 crores annualised revenue with with a healthy 35-40% EBITDA suddenly sack 15% of its workforce @financewsharan??
Your explanation seems bizarre to say the least - you have enough money to sustain your fancy 5000 sq ft office, enough reserves to put 10cr. investor money into FD - but just because some new 'AI tool' came - you decided to let go of around 40 people?
Is that how you run companies now? Is that the financial advice you will give to thousands of your clients? Is this a new financial planning model?
Sure the sackings could be performance linked - but then 15% at one go? Also what's this revolutionary AI tech you have implemented? Has @getonepercent made AI sentient or what?
The way the Biden administration is forcibly starving Cubans, and now shutting off the power - creating major threats to human life - is a crime against humanity. There's no other way to describe it. The sanctions are abhorrent and unjustified and must be ended immediately.
Professor GN Saibaba lost his mother while he was in jail. The system which grants frequent paroles to the Ram Rahims of India subjects activists like Saibaba to years of unlawful incarceration and endless torture. This system needs to go. India deserves a robust rule of justice.
India, with 903 soldiers at risk in Lebanon, decides not to sign a letter by 34 countries in UNIFIL condemning attacks on its peacekeepers.
A clear departure from the time New Delhi used to be at the forefront in defending UN peacekeepers.
The brave revolutionary Prof G N Saibaba passed away today at a hospital in Hyderabad. Farewell comrade, this news is heartbreaking because you could not even taste a year of freedom.
Incarcerated by the Indian state on charges of being a Maoist sympathizer, Prof Saibaba, with 90 percent disabilities, spent close to a decade in prison, and was often kept under the harshest solitary confinement. Housed in prison, his radical poetry addressed the colonial nature of the Indian legal system even as it addressed the many social evils that plague us as a nation.
It feels unreal, even unthinkable to exercise the past tense to write of you, comrade. You are a living flame. Your spirited fight, your strong will that did not shatter under the most cruel state oppression, your faith in the power of the working people -- this will remain your indelible legacy.
When I met you earlier this year in April, it felt like I was meeting a friend from forever. We discussed literature, IWE, the postcolonial novel, and what it means to be Bahujan within Indian academia. You laughed at how little I ate. You wore your suffering incredibly lightly--so casually that we felt doubly enraged at what the Indian state had inflicted upon you. Never did I realise that this was going to be my last ever meeting with you.
My deepest condolences to my friend and sister comrade AS Vasantha Kumari.
I'm left with no words to console you or Manjiri.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Comrade Sitaram Yechury. Their contributions and unwavering dedication will be remembered. My heartfelt condolences to their family, friends, and all who were inspired by their leadership. #RIPComradeSitaramYechury
Lal Salaam, Comrade Sitaram Yechury!
With the passing away of Comrade Sitaram Yechury, India has lost a bridge that connected revolutionary vision to parliamentary politics, political theory to political practice, and the agenda of national politics to the last person. An architect of the theory and practice of ‘popular front’, he was a vital link that helped bring together all the democratic and secular forces in a collective struggle against the onslaught on our constitutional republic. An iconic student leader, an accomplished parliamentarian, a great orator and a true friend to many across the political divide, Comrade Yechury’s political acumen and humane qualities will be missed not just by the Left but by all those who stand for the idea of India.
A life-long Marxist and a ‘whole-timer’ of the communist movement, Comrade Yechury assumed the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) at a critical moment for the party as well as the country. Steering clear of dogmatism and sectarianism, he guided the party and the entire Left to play a historic role in resisting communalism, authoritarianism and crony capitalism. A lifelong passionate advocate of the working classes, peasantry, dalits, adivasis and all the downtrodden people, Comrade Yechury was a friend to all peoples movements and popular protests. His decision to donate his body for medical research and teaching symbolised the social commitment that he upheld all his life. In connecting multiple regions, languages and communities, his life journey was an embodiment of “Bharat Jodo”.
Lal Salam, Comrade Sitaram Yechury!
