Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.
How Far Can An ACTOR Go For ‘ONE PROMISE’…?
Back then, #AlluArjun had promised to do a film with Director #BoyapatiSrinu after #Pushpa under Geetha Arts production.
But with Pushpa turning into a two part venture, the project got delayed, and Boyapati went on to make a couple of films that didn’t quite work.
Yet, Allu Arjun never forgot the promise he made.
Even after the setbacks, he continues to be in discussions with Boyapati for the project.
The actor is now working with some of the BIGGEST & CRAZIEST DIRECTORS in the industry.
Despite having the freedom to choose from the biggest names in the industry, Allu Arjun continues to stand by his word.
A PROMISE MADE IS A PROMISE KEPT.

seeing your age group having the best time of their lives while you’re at your lowest trying to figures things out - is another type of pain no one talks about.
