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.
Do not be friends with people who talk rudely to waiters, cab drivers, rapido/porter pickups, Zomato/Swiggy delivery guys, and their house helps.
These people do such things because of elitism and casteism. Anyone who thinks their caste or job profile is above some other caste in 2026 is meant to be boycotted socially.

Dear @Tukaram_IndIAS Sir,
You made my day.
What a strong decision! Maharashtra has banned the manufacture and sale of non dairy or analogue paneer.
If found violating the rule:
- Up to 6 months in jail
- ₹1 lakh fine
I truly believe you should be the CEO of @fssaiindia. Not because you deserve FSSAI, but because FSSAI deserves you.
Shocking.
Mumbai's richest clubs were happily taking huge membership fees and charging premium prices for food while serving people from dirty kitchens.
1) Cricket Club of India
Cockroaches, flies, expired food, fungus on vegetables, dirty storage, greasy kitchen, poor separation of veg and non veg food.
2) Willingdon Sports Club
Dirty kitchen, blocked drains, unhygienic staff, outdated food and water testing.
3) MIG Cricket Club
Running food operations without a valid FSSAI licence.
4) RK Juhu Gymkhana
Serious hygiene violations.
5) Aparna Juhu Gymkhana
Food safety violations.
Now the biggest question...
What the hell was FSSAI doing all these years?
If Maharashtra FDA under Tukaram Mundhe can expose all this in one drive, then what has FSSAI been doing for years?
The CEO of FSSAI should be replaced if this is how the country's top food regulator works.
Huge respect to Tukaram Mundhe for having the courage to touch powerful clubs instead of protecting them.
The secret to not being awkward is to never force conversation. Don’t try to come up with interesting things to say, don’t talk to people for the sake of talking, don’t voice opinions or ask questions to sound smart. Instead, notice your own curiosity and follow it. If you don’t have any, radiate comfort in your silence.
