transparency needs to be accessible.
from today it is.

within the past 2 weeks, around 1 crore 66 lakh records were scraped from the government's CPP Portal.

The Nation's procurement database is now publicly available to all.

Want to be clear: while Payal Kapadia receiving a major award tonight would be a big win “for India” (and Indian artists), this doesn’t mean it would be a win for the country’s institutions or cinematic establishment. It would be a win despite them. #Cannes2024

BJP's biggest success has been in convincing their fanbase that something good is happening somewhere, maybe not around you. People who have never stepped in trains for years say with confidence India's trains are doing so much better, but the ones using it know the truth. Train using folks are meanwhile thinking airways has become better while those using flights know how much inflation and bad service has plagued it recently. Service people taxed heavily are thinking okay my taxes are heavy, but ease of doing business is getting better and India's a success story, while people in business know if anything it should be renamed to difficulty in doing business and most business success stories are in spite rather than because of the government.
Salaried Middle class people thinking that inflation is there for me but for farmers etc direct benefits helping them, while farmers know how much taxes they are having to pay on fertilizers pesticides etc.
More or less har jagah same hee story hai. Kahi toh acha ho Raha hai, humare aas paas shayad nahi, par Modiji kuch toh acha kar rahe hai.

This is a stunning piece of accidental confession to explain the news media playbook last few years. It’s a simple three step process (already mastered by WhatsApp uncles over the years):

1. Label yourself as ‘apolitical’/‘observer’.
2. Start framing every issue into a govt vs opposition conflict.
3. Black out the uncomfortable issues under the pretext of being apolitical.

Stories of public concern (mob lynchings, ethnic violence, sexual assault allegations against people in power, or even much widespread old-school issues of rising unemployment etc) have been systemically ignored under the horribly shameful pretext of ‘not our job to discuss politics’. Every inconvenience faced by the common citizen has been dubbed as the ‘opposition’ and hence ‘not our job to side with them’.

And to top all that, constant pushing of communal, divisive, and provocative narratives has been normalised as a job of media. So somehow - talking about a tunnel collapse is political side-taking but branding an entire religion as anti-national every night through shrieking anchors is being a ‘neutral observer’.

"Defaming whole country?" I literally wrote, "I love India. It is and always will be one of my favorite places in the world" and she accuses me of defaming India for addressing the plight of women in the country.

I also wrote, after someone who read my post made nasty remarks about India:

"Respectfully, you should be ashamed of yourself, sir. Yes, the situation for women is egregious. But let’s walk and chew gum for a step. The culture is one of the most richly beautiful and philosophically insightful of any I have ever seen. And I’ve seen most of them. Few cultures offer such bewildering depth or captivating beauty. It’s almost no wonder that enlightenment itself was conceptually conceived in these lands. And the food? And the music? And the nature? And, best of all, the people. Problems exist. I’m the last person you have to tell because I’m a strident critic of India’s flaws. As I am of Gaza, Korea, Israel, China, the US, Peru, and other places that I love. The places I do not love, I care less if they improve. Yes, problems exist. But so do the charms, and if you don’t know them, you don’t know India. In fact, I will tell you something more. I have already shared some of the awful stories of sexual assault in India, but of the many women I have met and come to know as friends in India, all of whom had such experiences in one way or another, not one ever concluded that India was a shithole worth nothing. To the great credit of these wise women, they saw the horror more directly than you or I, and the beauty. None became bigots. None walked away despising Indian people on the whole. None determined to snort at their entire culture. And thank god, because it would have been their loss, not India’s. The issues regarding treatment of women are only the tip of the iceberg, to be frank. There’s a lot of ugly to discuss of India. This contradiction seems to be confusing many people in my replies. Welcome to India. But although some countries are perhaps as beautiful, none are more so."

And yet @sharmarekha says I am "defaming" the whole country.

This is what you get from NCW types. I am not Indian, so take my view for whatever it is worth, but my Indian friends do not seem to have much respect, if any, for NCW and one reason for this is because it has a deplorable habit of blaming women when they are attacked, raped or even murdered. NCW makes India less safe for women when it does these things.

Sharma herself has faced criticism for failure to respond to complaints filed by women's rights groups over credible allegations of women being publicly stripped naked, beaten by mobs and raped in public.

And yet here she is with the gall to accuse me of defaming India. Ms. Sharma, it is you who defame India by presiding over a group called the National Commission for Women and doing nothing about the issue noted above, and then criticizing people like me for drawing attention to this important matter.

I love India. I don't have enough heart to hold all the love I have for India, nor enough words to express it. But do you?

Beautification of roads during an international summit where foreign delegates are expected is a brazen slap on the faces of citizens by the authorities. It has the "We can do it but we won't do it for you ordinary, taxpaying, law-abiding citizens" vibe to it.
