Golden words of our First President Dr. Rajendra Prasad.
In current times, only a handful of people in power are the men who have qualities as mentioned.
Completely forgotten.

I fact-checked India's 2014 vs 2026 infrastructure numbers, added some more important parameters that were missed and an extremely important data point, the target.
Because some of this growth would have happened anyway. The question is whether India beat, met, or missed its own or global benchmarks.
So, I have compiled 48 parameters in total and every number is from PIB, IBEF, the Economic Survey and ministry dashboards.
Wherever the government did not set explicit targets, I benchmarked it against China.
Some targets beaten. Some missed. Every data point is verified.
Full data below.

Over the past 12 years, under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi, the NDA Government has redefined welfare delivery by ensuring that the benefits of development reach every deserving citizen with transparency, efficiency and dignity. #12YearsOfGaribKalyan
From Jan Dhan Yojana bringing millions into the formal banking system, PM Awas Yojana providing permanent homes, Ujjwala Yojana ensuring clean cooking fuel, Swachh Bharat Mission enhancing sanitation, Jal Jeevan Mission delivering tap water to households, Ayushman Bharat expanding access to healthcare and Direct Benefit Transfer empowering beneficiaries directly, each initiative has contributed to improving lives and strengthening social equity.
The true measure of governance lies in its impact on the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable. These twelve years stand as a testament to the Government’s unwavering commitment to Antyodaya, inclusive development and the welfare of every citizen as India marches confidently towards the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
Japan suspended batches of Indian mangoes because of fruit flies. Because the Indian fruit flies are non-native to Japan. If fruit flies are eating a fruit, then the fruit is actually good, not poisonous as many have claimed.
In fact, there's a food movement that eats vegetables and fruits that are affected by insects as they seem to have more beneficial nutrients for humans.
Anyway, the point is, Japan has banned American fruit imports too over pesticides (due to more stringent requirements in Japan).
But Americans aren't making thousands of videos claiming their fruits are poisonous. Indians do it. Indians themselves do hit jobs against their own country's products due to politics and programming.
The chart is true and the drop is also true. But we are missing what's actually driving this drop.
Let me explain;
First, let's look at the actual numbers. Gross FDI coming into India hit a record $94.5 billion in 2025-26, up 17%. Investment is not slowing down.
More foreign money is entering India than ever before.
Net FDI shrank because two outflows ballooned at the same time.
First, Repatriation hit $53.6 billion, the highest in years.
This is foreign companies that invested years ago now taking profits home, selling shares, or exiting after listing on Indian markets.
After the 2021 stock boom, lots of foreign-backed companies IPO'd in India, and the early investors cashed out at a profit.
Yes the money leaving counts as an outflow. But the company, the factory, the jobs, all stay in India.
Second, Indian companies are investing abroad at record levels, around $29 billion.
This is Indian companies becoming multinationals. Tata, Reliance, Adani, Sun Pharma, Indian IT majors buying assets, building plants, and expanding overseas.
That counts as an outflow in this math, but it's a sign of strength, not weakness. It's the same way Japanese and Korean firms went global in their growth decades.
So the formula is, net FDI equals gross inflow minus repatriation minus Indian investment abroad. All three numbers are at or near record highs.
Even the RBI says the rising repatriation is "a sign of a mature market where foreign investors can enter and exit smoothly."
Investors put money into countries more easily when they know they can take it out easily.
Yes, heavy repatriation does put pressure on the rupee, since dollars leaving means more demand for dollars.
That's a genuine factor in the rupee weakening to 95-97. And if repatriation stays this high for years while gross inflows plateau, that would become a real structural worry.
The fact is that record money is coming into India.
Record profits are being taken out by early investors who did well. And Indian companies are going global at record scale.
Net FDI is the small leftover after three big flows cancel out, it is not evidence that India stopped attracting investment.
If you want to attack the government on the economy, the rupee and the repatriation pressure on it is a fair line.
"Net FDI collapsed because nobody wants to invest in India" is not the true story.
Read the whole table please, not just the top line.
Not debt traps, but digital trust. ✅
Not exclusion, but empowerment. ✅
In just 12 years, PM Modi’s government has expanded opportunities and delivered development to the last mile, ensuring that the benefits of growth reach every citizen.
The story of New India is one of inclusion, dignity and empowerment for all.

This is true, sadly.
If you compare the fiscal deficit & debt (%GSDP) then opposition states, on average, are fiscally much more vulnerable than BJP states.
@RPudhucode@mshahi0024@anjanaomkashyap The issue is not whether India has companies.
The issue is that India still lacks global platform monopolies comparable to:
Microsoft
Google
NVIDIA
Apple
@RPudhucode@mshahi0024@anjanaomkashyap India now has globally competitive firms in:
Banking:
HDFC Bank
ICICI Bank
Manufacturing:
Bharat Electronics
Bharat Forge
Pharmaceuticals:
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories
Energy:
Reliance Industries
Adani Green Energy
Digital:
Paytm, Upi
Zoho
@RPudhucode@mshahi0024@anjanaomkashyap Who owns the debt?
Japan's debt exceeds 200% of GDP.
But most is held domestically.
That is very different from owing foreigners.
What currency is the debt in?
Countries usually get into trouble when debt is:
Foreign-held
Foreign-currency denominated
Examples:
🇦🇷🇱🇰
@RPudhucode@mshahi0024@anjanaomkashyap India has:
Large AI startup ecosystem
Major AI research centers
Global capability centers of US firms
Significant AI deployment market
Being behind ≠ having no presence.
@RPudhucode@mshahi0024@anjanaomkashyap Low-cost launch capability
Growing private space sector
Not equal to the US? Of course not.
But "no presence" is objectively false.
India has no AI?
India is behind the US in frontier AI models.
But that's different from having no AI ecosystem.
@RPudhucode@mshahi0024@anjanaomkashyap So the correct comparison is:
America can sustain higher debt partly because the world finances it. India cannot rely on that privilege.
@RPudhucode@mshahi0024@anjanaomkashyap This creates demand for US debt that no other country enjoys.
If India tried running US-style deficits for decades, investors would punish the rupee much faster.
