"PM Modi promised 2 crore jobs per year. He failed"

Wrong.

Let's keep narratives aside & check stats/facts.

During 2014 election, Modi promised 2 Cr jobs per year. Over 10 years, that would imply about 20 Cr jobs.

RBI KLEMS data says:

Employment increased from 47.15 Cr (2014-15) to 64.33 Cr (2023-24)

That's an increase of about 17.19 Cr jobs in 10 years.

Average:
Roughly 1.7 Cr jobs per year against promised 2 Cr

Yes, Modi govt fell short by about 0.3 Cr (30 lakh) each year.
But make no mistake, 1.7 Cr jobs each year with such disruptions in job market due to tech advancements, AI, etc is actually commendable.

If we compare unemployment rate during 2004-14 & 2014-24, we dont find much of a difference there either.

Unemployment rate:
(ILO modeled)

• 2004-14: 7.7%
• 2014-24: 6.5%

Official PLFS (from 2017-18):
Started at 6.1% (2017-18), dropped to 3.2% in 2023-24.

Pre-2017 NSSO surveys showed even lower usual unemployment (2-3%), but higher underemployment.

Recent trends show improvement alongside rising workforce participation.

@narendramodi @rpraggnachess Here's what the real GenZ talent is achieving for the nation.

A protest by unskilled & unemployed cockroaches shouldn't be taken seriously.

[GenZ ThinkTank @GenzThinktank]

Someone said "Baith Jaao" (Sit down) to people who were standing around.

So called "Educated GenZ Cockroaches" started shouting it as a "Slogan"

Fellow Indians', they do not represent us GenZ.

Real GenZ, us, are busy contributing to the nation or on the path to contribute.

India is:

Largest maker of:
• Bikes
• Vaccines
• Diamonds

2nd largest maker of:
• Steel
• Mobile phones
• Cement
• Coal
• Textiles
• Aluminum

3rd largest maker of:
• Automobiles
• Electricity
• Engineering Goods
• Refined products

India's manufacturing prowess is undeniable, a testament to its scale, skilled workforce, innovation & policy push under initiatives like Make in India & PLI scheme.

With continued reforms & skilling of young minds, the "Factory of the World" tag is well within reach.

India’s Supreme Court is shutting down to ~19% capacity for the next 6 weeks.

Starting June 1, only vacation benches will be operational.

• 93,143 cases already pending in the apex court.
• 5.3+ crore cases choking the entire judiciary.

Colonial-era summer vacations continue in 2026, even with AC courtrooms, e-filing & digital everything.

While ordinary citizens wait decades for justice, the system hits pause for peak heat that no longer exists.

Does Judiciary need more holidays? We need urgent reforms.
Reforms to ensure year-round functioning at almost 80% strength at any point of time.

This can be ensured by:

• Massive increase in judges & court infrastructure.
• AI-powered case management & priority listing
• Transparent performance metrics & strict accountability with financial punishment for poor performance.

The judiciary must fix itself before lecturing the rest of us.

A nation of 1.4 billion cannot run its justice system like a colonial summer resort.

Until 2021, Indian forces still used WW-2 vintage grenade designs.

Then Solar Group's defense arm delivered 10 lakh indigenous Multimode Hand Grenades, replacing legacy imports.

That's not it.

DRDO's transfer of Brahmos booster technology to a private Indian company marked a major shift.

A capability once dependent on foreign supply chains is now being built at home.

Today, Solar Group is part of India's indigenous defense ecosystem across:

• Brahmos propulsion systems.
• Pinaka rockets & Guided Pinaka
• Loitering munitions (Nagastra-1)
• Counter drone systems (Bhargavastra)
• Warheads & energetic materials.

This is what Atmanirbhar Bharat in defense looks like.

India went from importing critical components to building a defense manufacturing stack at home.

Much deserved recognition by the GOI.

How a mysterious fire broke India’s Semiconductor dream:

The most tragic chapter in India’s tech history is that of the Semiconductor Complex Ltd (SCL), Mohali.

In 1984, SCL started with a 5000 nm process, then leapt to 800 nm - global cutting edge, barely a year or two behind then leader like Intel.

At that time, China 🇨🇳 & Taiwan 🇹🇼 had NOT even entered the chip-fab arena.

Then, in 1989, disaster struck:
A mysterious fire gutted the Mohali facility, wiping out all the progress.

The fire started at multiple points simultaneously in the facility.

The probe was inconclusive, but suspicion of sabotage lingered, India’s semiconductor dream was dealt a body blow.

Worse, subsequently revival decisions & funding were stalled for years, by the lack of political vision & bureaucratic apathy.

Today,
PM Modi & his government’s push to reboot India’s chip industry must be commended & supported.

🔰
Do not mock 28-90 nm Indian 🇮🇳 chips just because global leaders are at 3-7 nm.

The reality is that most of the world’s demand still lies in these mature nodes for sectors like automotive, defense, telecom & industrial devices.

Every chipmaking nation, from the US to Taiwan, first mastered legacy nodes before moving to advanced ones, & India too cannot directly leap to 3 nm without building the ecosystem, expertise & supply chain step by step.

As analyzed, hike wasn't enough to mitigate loss.

Oil companies were taking ₹750 cr loss per day.

Today's hike:

• Petrol: ₹2.61
• Diesel: ₹2.71

Is it enough now?
NO.

Consumption:
• Petrol: 18 cr litres/day
• Diesel: 36 cr litres/day

Recovery after hike:
• Petrol: 18 cr x ₹2.61 = ₹46.98 Cr/day.
• Diesel: 36 cr x ₹2.71 = ₹97.56 Cr/day.

Total recovery after today's hike: 144.5 cr/day.

New loss after hike:
₹750 cr - 144.5 cr = 605.46 cr/day.

🔰
Further hike needed to fully eliminate loss taken by oil companies:

Combined fuel consumption:
18 + 36 = 54 cr litres/day

Required addition hike:
₹605.46 ÷ 54 = ₹11.21 per litre.

Hence,
Expect another ₹10 increase on fuel within the next 2 months, if the situation in Hormuz remains volatile.

[GenZ ThinkTank @GenzThinktank]

Oil companies were losing 1,700 Cr per day.

Govt hiked Petrol-Diesel prices by ₹3

Is that enough?
NO.

• Petrol consumption per day: 18 Cr litres.
• Diesel consumption per day: 36 Cr litres.

With ₹3 hike:
Recovery:

18 Cr x ₹3 = ₹54 Cr/day
36 Cr x ₹3 = ₹108 Cr/day

₹162 Cr per day.

• Earlier loss: 1,700 Cr/day.
• Loss now: 1,538 Cr/day.

With these numbers, ₹30 hike per litre is required to mitigate the loss.

Expect further hikes if the situation in Hormuz stays volatile.

Be a responsible citizen, use fuel judiciously.

ℹ️
Important note:

1,700 Cr per day figure is of late April & early May 2026, with Crude at $110-120 per barrel.

This 1,700 Cr per day may change to 1,500 Cr or even less, frequently, with drop in Crude prices in international market.

"India needs another growth engine beyond IT".
Data shows that transition has already begun.

India can't rely on IT alone forever for it's exports.

From FY20 to FY25:

• Electronics export:
$11.5 Bn to $38.6 Bn (27.4% CAGR)

• Engineering export:
$77 Bn to $116 Bn (8.7% CAGR)

• IT/Software exports:
$147 Bn to $224 Bn (8.9% CAGR)

Now, the hard truth:

India's IT boom was built on global outsourcing, coding services, maintenance, backoffice work.

AI is changing that.

Large parts of:
• Repetitive coding
• Testing
• Support ops
• BPO workflows

are becoming automatable.

That doesn't mean IT dies.
But it surely means that the growth in IT will continue slowing down.
The job opportunities in IT will further dry up (Top it up with gradual layoffs)

And that's a problem, because:

India adds 10-12 million people to the workforce annually.

A service-only growth model cannot absorb that scale, period.
But yes, Manufacturing can.

Why Manufacturing matters?

• Higher employment multiplier.
• Supply chain resilience.
• Lower import dependency.
• Better trade balance.
• Forex stability.
• Stronger domestic ecosystem.

Most of these points are something India is currently struggling as the PM @narendramodi pointed out.

Manufacturing push is the way out.

Evidence already visible:

• Mobile phone exports:
₹1,500 cr (2014) to ₹2,00,000 cr

• Rail Capex:
₹63,000 cr to ₹2.65 lakh cr.

• Central Capex:
₹1.9 lakh cr to ₹12 lakh cr.

Electronics exports have grown 3.3x faster than IT exports.

India is no longer betting on just one export growth engine.

IT built the runway.
Manufacturing should power the next takeoff. 🇮🇳

DNS lookup says “DNS record not found/DNS record published ❌”

That usually means:

• Domain DNS records were removed/misconfigured.
• Domain expired.
• Intentional takedown by the owner.

A govt block in India looks different:

• DNS still exists.
• Site resolves but access is blocked by ISP
• Browser may show blocked/ERR messages.

So, with DNS not found error, simplest explanation is:

The OWNER removed DNS.

Why is the government so scared of cockroaches? But this dictatorial behaviour is opening the eyes of India's youth. Our only crime is we were demanding a better future for ourselves.

But you can't get rid of us that easily. We’re working on a new home right now. Cockroaches never die. 🪳
