@kanpursneed Because of those million flaws only the system is like this today. That’s the simple truth, people will just ignore how fragmented they left our society which is the root cause of corruption.

[Aravind @aravind]

Yeah, on X:

Mark with 2M followers gets > 12M views in 1 day announcing a new project of his company.

Modi with 100M followers gets < 1M views in 1 month announcing a new project of his country.

Many state sponsored bots with < 10k followers spreading fake videos against Indians get 10M views.

I think this is because Modi is not a CEO or a state controlled bot. He's 'just' a fiercely independent elected leader of a 1.5 billion strong sovereign nation not approving Starlink yet.

This is not a "real story". This is just a story.

Indians earn, save, and spend in INR. This sort of misrepresentation, coming from a professor, seems purposefully creating fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

The USD itself has lost ~32% of its purchasing power in the last 15 years. This is because of inflation.

Controlled inflation (under 5-6%) is considered normal and even healthy for a growing economy. A fast growing economy like India tends to have higher inflation naturally.

In fact, central bankers and finance ministers get worried if inflation drops too low. Focusing only on the nominal USD rate without this context is purposefully misleading.

So while INR has lost its purchasing power, it is natural just like the USD has lost its purchasing power. Someone's savings in India, to be used in India, suddenly doesn't become 50% less due to USD/INR rate increase.

One day in the coming time, INR will suddenly start appreciating against the USD quickly. Then what will they say? They will change the attack to "inflation" then. These are the same people talking about de-dollarization and USD "crashing soon" as well.

So assuming they are right, if suddenly we wake up to 1 USD = 50 INR, did every Indian become twice as rich in the night? Because its GDP and GDP per capita is suddenly 2x now in USD terms? No.

The real story is, for those who can understand these things and see the pattern, there's an orchestrated attempt from a large network of anti-establishment types to fear monger and incite Indians to try cause political and economic instability in India.

@King_of_Orion You are an Indian and you talk like this so ignorantly. I do not blame you but India and its education system. But if you are really interested and not just want to react like a programmed colonized mind, just paste my post into some AI and ask it to research. You will get proof.

@UpdatesChennai And they don’t do it here but every other place has plans on it.

[Aravind @aravind]

There's Sitar, then there's Guitar. They will tell you the Sitar came to India from Iran. And the Guitar has no relation to the Sitar. And that 'tar' is not an Indian word. And Indians who had highly sophisticated Veenas and string instruments depicted in stone from 3rd century BCE, and in much older Ramayana and even more ancient Vedas, got a string instrument like Sitar in the 17th century only thanks to the Mughals and Iranians. OK, I agree. Enjoy the music now, brown sepoy. Don't itch to auto-fight for your masters in the replies. I agreed already.

The problem with this argument is the question is already addressed. The match wasn't in India. It was in Sri Lanka.

The whole point of the hybrid model was this that either country doesn't play each other in their home.

So what exactly is Pakistan fighting for?

[Rishap Vats @VatsRishap]

No. Before Zimbabwe were forced out of the 2009 WC (in July 08), the ECB cut its ties with Zimbabwe cricket after having an “extensive consultation” with the British government for “some time”, saying they “shared government’s concern over the “lack of human rights in Zimbabwe”.

[Kartik Kannan @kartik_kannan]

I happened to watch Nasser Hussain's comments along with Mike Atherton on the Sky Sports Podcast. These are people that I'd love listening to on most days. Like a cricket player has his off days, I am guessing they had theirs. I clearly did not agree with their line of thinking

If you are asking, Ab Nass ne kya bola, let me first summarise that

Double Standards: Nasser argued that the ICC lacks consistency. He asked: "If India said our government does not want us to go... would the ICC have been so firm and say 'bad luck, we're knocking you out'?"

They imply India gets special treatment while Bangladesh gets punished.

Praise for "Rebellion": Nasser explicitly stated, "I actually quite like Bangladesh sticking to their guns... and I quite like Pakistan sticking up for Bangladesh."

He views this as necessary resistance against the "politics" dominating the game.

Financial Bullying: They acknowledged the Indian argument ("We generate the money"), but countered that "with power comes responsibility," arguing that India is actively diminishing other cricket nations.

Ok, having heard this. What seems wrong about this? Let me talk further on this.

Phir Se, The "False Equivalence" of Security

The Argument: Nasser compares Bangladesh refusing to tour India with India refusing to tour Pakistan.

This is a false equivalence. India’s refusal to tour Pakistan is backed by decades of documented security threats and the fact that major international teams refused to tour Pakistan for ten years (2009–2019) due to terrorism. That has not happened in India ever in the last 30-32 years. The last I remember a team doing that was Pak in 1991(Wills Cup) and 1993 (Hero Cup)

In contrast, the ICC’s independent security experts assessed the threat level in India for Bangladesh and found it safe. Bangladesh’s refusal was a diplomatic stance, not a genuine security necessity, despite India rocking the boat with the Fiz incident.

The ICC cannot treat a "political boycott" (Bangladesh) the same as a "verified security threat" (India regarding Pakistan). Yeh dono same nahi hain.

2. Economic Reality vs. Bias

The Argument: They claim the ICC is biased because they wouldn't "knock out" India.

Yaar, ye bias ki baat bahi hain;, it's existential reality. India generates roughly 80-90% of global cricket revenue. A World Cup without Bangladesh is unfortunate but financially survivable.

A World Cup without India would bankrupt the ICC and, by extension, cut funding for smaller nations (including the West Indies and associate nations).

The ICC isn't "favoring" India; they are protecting the financial engine that subsidizes the rest of the world.

Also, if you remember even for the Feb-March 2025 Champions Trophy, India had had a consistent stance from 2024 that they are not willing to play in Pakistan. They did not drop a bomb a month before the tournament like Pakistan and Bangladesh have done in the T20 World Cup 2026. India honoured their part, played the match, did not mess with tournament revenue guarantees to ICC

England are just sore that they are not the financial engine or nerve centre. All they have for primacy argument is that they have the MCC that drafts the laws. Nothing else on the economic forefront, which makes them a leader. Today it makes it cool to get the Pak and Bangladeshi fan base for a few brownie points on X, for speaking against India/BCCI. Nas and Athers are trying to milk a few singles here, when no one is watching.

3. The "Protective" Nature of the IPL Decision

The Argument: They frame the release of Mustafizur Rahman as a punitive/political move by the BCCI.

Given the volatile atmosphere and the reports of violence against minorities in Bangladesh, the BCCI could argue they could not guarantee Mustafizur's safety from potential protestors or isolated incidents in India. Releasing him could be viewed as a protective measure to de-escalate tension, rather than a malicious political sanction. Keeping him in India during such a diplomatic crisis would have been a higher security risk, given that the IPL is the world's biggest revenue generating event. It has seen protests in Chennai over Sri Lankan players in a squad for a political party's preference of treatment to Sri Lankan Tamil's. While such a move could have been avoided, the IPL did what it needed to do, to reduce unwanted negative talk with escalating tensions in Bangladesh and India.

4. Selective Solidarity (The Pakistan Boycott)

The Argument: Nasser praises Pakistan's "solidarity."

This is where I go, 'Dei, Yeppudu ra ipdi solraan' .
If PCB were truly acting on principle or solidarity, they would boycott the entire tournament. By choosing to play all other matches but forfeit only the game against India, they are proving that their decision is a political stunt rather than a moral stand. You cannot claim to be "sticking up for cricket" while selectively politicizing the sport's biggest fixture. They are also doing that knowing that they make another half of what is cricket's most prized rivalry, so they feel they can extract their share of the flesh, by doing all these pull-out tactics, despite being beggars. India is playing Ind-Pak contests in neutral venues, as a means to fund international cricket and Asian Cricket. One India-Pak match a year, can make other boards and associates meet their end

I have seen many comments highlight that "Equality in law applies to equals." You cannot treat the primary stakeholder (India) identically to smaller stakeholders when the survival of the ecosystem depends on the former. There is a reason England (6.89%) draw more money out of the ICC revenue pool than say Pakistan (5.75%) or Bangladesh (4.4%) or Zimbabwe (2.9%). Would England be okay, sacrificing their revenue so that Zimbabwe and Bangladesh prosper? Sure, you paint BCCI as the villain, but would you be willing to forego your money to be distributed to the rest equally (2.9%), so that the game can grow?

Also going back to the Fizz thing, as far as I know no Bangladeshi player has ever been attacked in India, whereas the Sri Lankan team was attacked in Pakistan. Therefore, Bangladesh's "security concern" holds less water than India's, and everyone could see through the politics that Pak and BD were playing. Wrong timing and stage to pull these unwanted stunts.

And, if I were to move to another sport as a parallel. Dear Nas- you say you 'like Bangladesh sticking to their guns' against India. But where was this energy when Wimbledon banned every Russian/Belarussian player in 2022 purely due to government politics around Russia invading Ukraine? Or when the English FA supported banning Russian football teams from traveling to the UK?

The UK set the precedent that 'Sport IS Politics' when national security or values are at stake. You cannot support banning Russians from London because of a war, but then call India 'bullies' for refusing to play Pakistan due to cross-border terrorism. That is the definition of a double standard, or playing down the wrong-line.

I expect better from Nass and Athers. We respect you here in India. These points did not make sense guys. Looking forward to better content to listen on my commute back home.

Thirupparankundram is the First of the Six Abodes of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya). The practice of lighting lamps atop the hill during the Tamil month of Karthigai is an ancient tradition of Hindus. It is sad and ironic that today the Hindus in Bharat have to seek judicial interventions to practice their faith and perform their rituals. If, even after winning a decisive legal battle, devotees cannot perform a simple, peaceful ritual on their own property, then where, in their own country, shall they truly find constitutional justice?

In short and simple, let all the Hindus in Bharat understand this - The bitter truth is - The Chennai High Court affirmed our right to light the Deepathoon - first by a single judge, then upheld by a higher bench. Legally, the battle was won. Yet, practically, we were forced to adjust.

Ask yourself - Can any religious festival be moved a week late? Can a holy day's celebration be shifted to a different time? No. Because the sanctity of religious time and the integrity of every religious calendar is non-negotiable.

Yet, for Sanatana Dharma, the moment—the sacred Karthigai Deepam—was stolen, vanished forever. Why? Because Hindus can be taken for granted. Sometimes it's the governments, sometimes it’s the executive, sometimes it’s the NGOs, sometimes it’s a random pseudo intellectual groups – but every time, it is Hindus who accept the loss and adjust. We secured the right, but lost the ritual. This repeated, systemic denial is why a time has come to demand more than just court victories - We need the Sanatana Dharma Raksha Board where devotees actively manage their own temples and religious affairs.

Mockery of Hindu traditions and rituals has become a norm for certain groups. Do they dare to do the same for other religious events?

Does Article 25 become an optional right instead of a fundamental right to the Hindus? Can a Police Commissioner or a District Magistrate unilaterally nullify a specific High Court Directive? If the High Court confirmed the Deepam lighting was a "harmless religious act" on legally owned land, who decides that this practice constitutes a threat to "communal harmony," and by what legal mechanism? How come HR&CE Department consistently and repeatedly act against the interests of Hindu devotees and their temple's traditions, and how do these officials evade serious accountability?

Hindus should observe the collective spirit and solidarity shown by practitioners of Abrahamic religions (religions of Arabian origin) when religious issues arise. They overcome their ethnic, regional, and linguistic differences for the sake of their faith.

As long as Hindus remain divided by caste, regional, and linguistic barriers, the mockery, insults, and abuses against the Hindu religion and its practices shall continue. If Hindus in our nation don't unite under a common minimum program with the collective spirit of Hindu Dharma (or Aram in Tamil), this spirit will be lost.

I hope for a day when every Hindu from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Kamakhya to Dwarka wakes up to the humiliation Hindus face in their own land.

[Aravind @aravind]

There is truth in what Donald Trump says. But I will tell you a bigger truth at the end of this post that everyone must know. Read on.

But first, like Trump says, The CCP must be the last to celebrate "winning against fascist forces in WW2."

The Chinese communists colluded in many ways with the Japanese to weaken China's nationalist Kuomintang who were fighting the brutal Japanese oppression.

While acting like fighting along side the Chinese nationalists, the CCP gave away valuable intel to the Japanese to attack the Kuomintang and weaken it.

Eventually the CCP did a civil war with Kuomintang to take over China while driving the Kuomintang away to Taiwan.

The above is also a warning for all - never trust the CCP. They will act like partners, use you to fight and gain what they want, then dump you. They are just copy cats of the US imperialists.

Now for the bigger truth I wanted to tell:

Trump can claim the US shed blood and gave support to the Chinese nationalists (Kuomintang) to fight the Japanese.

But do you know the biggest contribution to WW2 was from India and it is Indian blood that won the war against the Nazis and Fascists.

2.5 million Indian soldiers fought for the allied forces. They were instrumental in winning multiple theatres - North Africa, Italy, Middle East, and South East Asia.

In fact, Indian soldiers resisting and giving a very tough time to the Japanese in Burma and beyond helped secure support lines to the Chinese nationalists to help them overcome Japanese forces in China.

My own uncle has fought in the Burma theatre and after defeat of the Japanese, with the help of Indian soldiers in China, helped deport the Japanese prisoners of war to Japan.

Both the US / West and China will never appreciate India's immense contribution to their wins against the axis powers. Only Russia has honored India for this in their parades. Russians of course, like Indians, were instrumental in winning the WW2 but not appreciated by the west.
