21 people are dead in the Malviya Nagar restaurant fire
And the worst part is not only the fire, The worst part is how familiar this feels
A few hours of outrage A few statements, A few promises of inquiry. Maybe some suspension, Maybe some compensation then silence
Families will keep crying, Children will wait for parents who will never return, Parents will receive bodies instead of phone calls, Homes will be destroyed forever
But for the system, it becomes another file, Another incident, Another headline
This is what makes me angry
We have become numb to Indians dying because of negligence, Fire safety ignored, Rules bypassed, Inspections treated like paperwork
How many times will ordinary people pay with their lives because someone did not do their job?
@hvgoenka There should be tax on dreaming, the collections wud ensure India doesn't remain a poor country and petrol will cost Rs 40 per liter and 81 crore indians who get free ration will drive their own cars.
The reason people don't speak up in India against injustice is either because they're scared or because they think it's pointless and nothing will ever change

Join us on 15 June at @IIC_Delhi as discuss Mangar, with Sunil Harsana, Amit Yadav and @anujsrivastava.

Across the country, people are recording themselves cooking, cleaning, folding clothes and moving through their homes, earning ₹250-300 a task from data-collection companies…

When I asked how to reduce honking in India, people suggested everything from removing horns from cars, limiting the number of times they can be used each day, imposing a 2-second sound cap, and introducing severe penalties.
The solution is much simpler: treat the road as a shared space and respect other people. Honking is not a traffic problem - it’s a mindset problem.
@WalterJLindner While it was wonderful to have you represent Germany here those years, it has been truly special to have met & known you, Mr Lindner! :)
Someone will turn on a fan in India and twenty people will die. Someone will close a door and forty will die. Everyday life is so unsafe it’s degrading, it’s a human rights violation just to exist in this country. No life has any meaning or value or dignity in this hellhole.
The national capital is crumbling. Zero enforcement of fire safety. Roads are dug up all over. Sewage flowing on the streets and mixed in water supply. No drainage. Waterlogged roads within hours of rain. Polluted, dusty. Why have we as citizens accepted this standard of life?
