Dear Donald Trump uncleji,
Please stay mad at India for another six months. We still need to push through some more economic and military reforms using you as an excuse.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER.
you know what is tax terrorism. i got a call from GST officer in etawah that your vehicle is siezed. i asked the reason so he said because you sold this monocarton box at rs 8.4 while market price should be rs 10.
it is a total harassment. too much for ease of business in india.
@GST_Council How do you calculate the market price of customised item. he asked me the bribe of Rs 25000. i have a recording of entire conversation. Name of the officer is S K Tripathi. this gentleman is asking for bribe again n again.
If action is not taken against him i seriously dont how to run our industries.

Churchill called us “beastly.” Nixon called us “repulsive.”
Bhagwati called us the “new Jews of America.”
Two decades later, Dublin, Melbourne & California prove: he was right. 🧵
India will not play Pakistan in "bilateral competitions" in India and Pakistan, but neutral venues are fine, and "multilateral competition" matches are all right anywhere in the world, including India and Pakistan. Amazing. We are not a serious nation.
Listening to and watching the US administration one would think it is India that has invaded Ukraine and is being sanctioned for occupying Ukrainian territory.
Was talking to a young entrepreneur today. Took her two months to get registrations done. Had to pay bribes at every stage to get clearances. Bureaucracy makes bizarre demands on documentation if you go through the normal process. The entire effort is to ensure that unless bribes are paid to middlemen, clearances won’t come. At every stage small entrepreneurs are put through the mill and made through jump through hoops. And yet when ministers claim ease of business has improved, they are either totally clueless, or have been wilfully misled by bureaucrats, or just don’t give a damn and are only interested in mouthing false claims. If we are serious of reforms, and unleashing the genius of Indian businesses, it can’t be done without reforming the systems of government and this will require making examples of obstructionist babus.
@ajeetbharti I agree, he is playing in the same tone as Gangs of Wasseypur, clearly. Not just visually but also, the music. It feels like it is set in the same universe as the above , it will be fair to say it is an unofficial spin-off.
Saajha Zimmedari Nibhayein!
We have installed the bottle crusher.
Now it’s your turn, don’t toss, crush that bottle.
Let’s reduce plastic waste.

Since the Trump-India tariff saga started, the usually loquacious Basu, Varshney types have been totally silent. Couldn’t find a Madagascan Taxi Driver to opine? What happened to all the “Indian” think tankers in D.C.? Peddle their “Indianness” for money - silent when it counts.
He is Rajesh Vishwakarma, a poor daily-wage laborer with no land, no parents. He’s the latest casualty of an indifferent Indian justice system.
In June last year, a woman from his neighbourhood asked Rajesh to help her get to the hospital because she wasn’t feeling well. Like any good neighbour, he rushed her there, got her admitted, and then left for work.
By evening, the woman had died. And by the next morning, police arrested Rajesh for her murder and sent straight to jail.
Rajesh didn’t have money to hire a lawyer. For 13 months, he languished behind bars, no trial, no legal advice, no chance to speak to family. It wasn’t police investigation that cleared his name, but the quiet effort of court-appointed legal aid lawyer Reena Verma, who finally proved his innocence.
But freedom hasn’t brought relief. After his arrest, the police locked his rented room without warning. Now he must pay 13 months’ back rent. And despite being declared innocent, no one wants to give him work, to them, he’s just a man who came from jail.
In any sane, just legal system, Rajesh could sue the govt, win millions in compensation, and finally live a life of dignity. But in India? He won’t get a single penny. In fact, adding insult to injury, his sister had to pay a ₹500 bribe just to get back his Aadhaar card and phone from the jail.
