What the events of the past few days have confirmed:
1. Our Armed Forces continue to be exemplary, professional, and clinical. They deserve the gratitude of the entire nation for keeping us safe yet again. 🫡 🇮🇳
2. India’s diplomacy under Modi and Jaishankar has been an utter and dismal failure. They have failed to convince many important countries to stand by us, especially for a proportionate response to the dastardly terror attack in Pahalgam. The worst is that Modi has surrendered to Trump instead of standing tall.
2a. What Dr. Manmohan Singh achieved in de-hyphenating India and Pakistan has been undone. India is now seen as kowtowing to Trump and his acolytes, letting the US president and his team run wild with ceasefire announcements and media leaks. All this talk of ‘Kashmir’ and neutral venue is a blow to our diplomacy.
2b. The failure on the IMF front. The failure to isolate Pakistan. The failure to shift focus from Kashmir to the terror attack. The failure to pressure China or Turkey to disengage or face consequences. Modi, Jaishankar, Doval, and their team have let India down.
3. While Modi and Jaishankar failed to protect India’s national interest during a time of war, they prioritized maligning UPA and Congress through the BJP’s misinformation machine. This was unnecessary and mischievous, especially when the opposition united in support of the government. Hypocrisy ki koi seema nahi hai.
4. Mainstream Indian media, especially TV, has hit rock bottom. They’ve made India a global joke, failing to inform citizens and instead stoking bigotry, immaturity, and false bravado. Arnab Goswami’s flip-flop on Trump was pathetic, and Gaurav Arya’s reckless slander (followed by Modi on X) sparked a diplomatic mess with Iran. Meanwhile, the independent media faced needless threats and censorship from the Modi government and RW ecosystem.
5. Hindutva trolls are the scum of humanity. They’ve abused a martyr’s wife, Himanshi Narwal, and now the foreign secretary and his family. This vile behavior, backed by the BJP, is a bigoted plague threatening to destroy everything in its path. It’s the worst thing ever to happen to India.
@ICICILombard has taken INR 38,343 as renewal premium for my wife and child's health insurance premium on the 7th February 2025 and is still refusing to issue the renewed policy copy. They confirm payment received but no one is saying why policy not issued. Docket 72025020801902
@madmanweb This is bad. In Chennai I was in and out in less than 20mins. This despite them rejecting my Tatkaal application for a minor error and processing it as a normal application.
Do watch this brilliant response by @_YogendraYadav when the Anchor said "BJP itself is more than the entire INDIA block put together, What do you have to say about that".

@madmanweb I always mark such instances as not delivered. And force the delivery guy to come back and give me the package. Or make Amazon give me a refund. Try it. Works like a charm after 6-7 such instances
@vinayaravind@itssynecdoche I never knew there were people in India who've not had ripe jackfruit... Incredible! I've finished half a decent sized fruit all by myself as an adolescent once. And paid the price for the greed for the following two days!!
