11 Years of Governance Failure.
That is why Modi is asking us to buy less gold.
That is why Modi is asking us to save fuel.
Brilliant logic.
Except it is completely wrong.
Before you repeat that narrative.
Look at what 11 years actually built.
Not as BJP Supporter.
Not as Congress Supporter.
Let us count the failures.
One by one.
In 2013.
Per capita income: Rs 74,920 a year.
Today: Rs 2,05,324 a year.
Nearly 3x.
In 2013.
4 crore homes had no electricity.
Today: 99.5% electrified.
In 2013.
23.87 crore Indians had internet.
Today: 102.8 crore.
Four times the population of USA.
Mobile subscribers today: 116 crore.
Data cost in 2014: Rs 308 per GB.
Data cost today: Rs 9.34 per GB.
97% cheaper.
UPI did not exist in 2013.
Today, 21.7 billion transactions per month.
Accepted in 12 countries.
Highways in 2013: 91,287 km.
Highways today: 1,46,560 km.
11 km per day then.
34 km per day now.
Expressways in 2013: 93 km.
Expressways today: 3,052 km.
3,180% growth.
Metro in 2013: 248 km.
Metro today: 1,013 km.
23 cities.
Airports in 2013: 74.
Airports today: 162.
Solar in 2013: 3 GW.
Solar today: 150 GW.
53 times.
Third largest on earth.
Defence exports in 2013: Rs 686 crore.
Defence exports today: Rs 23,622 crore.
34 times.
100 plus countries.
Made in India defence: 25% in 2013.
Made in India defence: 68% today.
NAViC.
BrahMos.
Semiconductor mission.
Nuclear capacity doubled.
A warship every 6 weeks.
If India was failing.
Why is energy demand exploding?
700 Mtoe in 2013.
1,213 Mtoe today.
Nearly double.
Mtoe = Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent
A failing economy does not double its energy demand.
A roaring one does.
Fossil fuels in power: 90% in 2013.
73% today.
Renewables: 12% in 2013.
50% today.
This is a civilisation in mid-flight.
Hit by a storm it did not create.
Brazil.
Turkey.
Indonesia.
All falling faster than the rupee.
Nobody writes those headlines.
Modi's speech was not weakness.
It was a war communication.
A message to OPEC: India will not beg.
Ask who benefits from the "India failed" narrative.
Ask who profits when Indians lose faith in India.
That is the real war.
Fought with words.
With headlines.
With manufactured despair.
India has survived invasions.
Colonisation.
Partition.
Sanctions.
It will survive this too.
The temporary pain is real.
Accept it.
The destination is permanent.
Believe it.

My advice to Gen Z neo-public speakers and reel makers. (and their Gen Z friends and publc)
This is long but very crucial for you.
Because even if you are not ready, you have to carry the mantle of Hindutva in a far more dangerous future:
1. Make sure what you talk is merely 25% or less of your silent actual serious impactful work.
This will make sure that whatever you speak is not merely theoretical, but is rooted in realism and responsible.
2. Spend at least 2-3 years working in a large organization with a diverse variety of people. RSS is best for this.
This will give you a perspective on why things that seem simple in theory do not work out in practice in same way. You will understand the science of group behavior and valuing alternate viewpoints.
3. Learn practical law. Don't assume or self-argue.
Consult a good lawyer (not AI) to run through every thing you speak for first 1-2 years.
Observe what @Vishnu_Jain1 speaks - because he gets disruptive results and also speaks - all within ambit of law. And in desi bhasha that connects with all.
You will learn forever what to speak and what not to.
4. Do not overestimate your contribution to Dharma by speaking. It will always remain far lower than those who work on Bhoomi, or bring actual results.
Because there is nothing new that you can say beyond what has already been said in last 150 years of so-called RW movement that started around 1875.
You will only be packaging old stuff, originally researched and prepared in past, in new package for your fame and virality.
The need today is concrete action and enabling those who are into concrete action.
5. Your speech only makes sense if you are actually doing at least 3 times more concrete action.
त्रिपादूर्ध्व उदैत्पुरुषः पादोऽस्येहाभवत् पुनः
6. Choose your focus. Do not start giving views on such everything. This is छपास रोग.
Gain some experience, do some real ground work, and then expand your subject portfolio.
Because a loose tongue across multiple subjects you do not have command on only means multiple chances of blunder.
7. Avoid giving rousing speeches of valor unless you have been in situations of life and death against lynching mobs etc.
Else you will be exemplifying राजकुमार उत्तर syndrome - who would talk bravely among women of his palace, but panicked when he saw the army (Refer विराट पर्व of महाभारत)
8. If your fellow-speaker is in trouble, at least speak for him. I am really upset to see that when Gautam Khattar is in crisis, there are those who owe their career surge to Gautam Khattar are suddenly mute.
Otherwise, they only talk valour and aggression with a swag that will beat gold medalists of National School of Drama.
Learn to stand with friends in crisis.
9. Know that already we have too many battles to fight. When your loose tongue causes trouble to you and rest of us come together to rescue you, it comes at a heavy price of sidelining other crucial battle fronts.
Hence be responsible.
Crisis can happen with anyone. And we will come together for bandhu in need to best of our abilities. But the crises that can be avoided by being more responsible, must be avoided.
10. Your job is not to fire शब्दबाण but to fight to win.
Again, I refer to Vishnu Shankar Jain. Stop for a moment and think how would he have framed the same issue.
Also, I want to highlight that there are many topics on which he has a lot to say, but he chooses silence because the battle-front there is court.
Speaking will give virality but harm the results.
11. Summary -
a. Gen Z Speakers - Be responsible. Be grounded. Get experience. Keep speeches not more than 25% of your impactful ground work.
b. Gen Z Friends of those in crisis - this is real time to show valour. Don't make useless reels when you should be speaking strongly in support of Gautam Khattar.
c. Everyone else - identify those who do not stand in time of crises with own.
Eliminate them from your mindspace totally. Invest in those who remain mitra in विपत्ति।

His name was V Rajaraman.
Born in 1933 in Erode, Tamil Nadu. Most Indians have never heard his name. Every Indian IT professional owes their career to him.
He studied physics at St Stephens College Delhi, then engineering at IISc Bangalore. Won a government scholarship to MIT. Got his PhD in 1961.
The world wanted him. He came back.
In 1963, a massive IBM 1620 computer arrived at IIT Kanpur. It was so large they had to break down a wall to bring it inside. It came on a bullock cart.
Rajaraman stood next to it and asked one question nobody else was asking.
What if India taught this as a subject.
In 1965, he launched India’s first Computer Science academic programme at IIT Kanpur. His first batch had 20 students. One of them was Narayana Murthy, who went on to build Infosys.
He designed the MCA programme that opened IT careers to an entire generation of Indian graduates. He chaired the committee that created C DAC to build India’s first indigenous supercomputers.
He authored 23 textbooks. Guided 30 PhD students. Won the Padma Bhushan in 1998.
He passed away on November 8, 2025. Aged 92.
India’s IT industry is worth 250 billion dollars today. He built the classroom it started in.
Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.
They say academia is a "thankless" job, but then you get an email like this on a Sunday evening.
A 3rd-year student from a college in Kolkata wrote to me. He felt "disconnected" and "trapped" in a coding-centric major, missing the mathematical rigor he loved until he found my NPTEL course.
He didn’t just want to learn ML; he wanted to feel the philosophy and the probability behind it. He wanted to understand why, not just how.
Moments like this make the "Chalk and Talk" sessions and the late-night prep worth every second. In a world obsessed with "shortcuts" and "quick certificates," finding a student hungry for first principles is the ultimate reward.
It reminds me that our real job isn't just to transfer information, it’s to provide the ignition for a mind that was almost ready to give up.
This is why we teach. This is what makes this profession truly invaluable.
Francis Xavier wrote
'If there were no Brahmins in the area, all Hindus would accept conversion to our faith’. Hatred for Brahmins starts there. So those who did not accept conversion were brutally killed in Goa during the #PortugueseInquisition in India. Xavier explicitly noted his lack of success in converting them, stating, "All the time I have been here in this country I have only converted one Brahmin"
#RichardZimler’s novel Guardian of the Dawn (2005) describes "the brutal realities of the 16th-century Portuguese Inquisition in Goa, India. Zimler describes this institution as a "machinery of death" and "most merciless and cruel," documenting its persecution of Jews, Hindus, and new Christians."
"Dismembering the children limb by limb in front of their parents whose eyes were taped open till they agreed to convert was particularly an effective method."

I don’t know what exactly it is that Gautam Khattar said, but here is what Xavier had to say about Hindus in HIS own words! Screen shots are from his letters, available on https://t.co/hY0AvD0vjb. Anyone can access it and see for themselves! Cc @DrPramodPSawant
In view of the humiliation being thrown at Hindus on daily basis, an initiative has been taken by @SachdevaAmita ji to have a network of advocates across the country to counter such actions legally through filing of cases and FIRs. There is a need for such volunteers who are willing to do so on a pro-bono basis. Guidance will be provided.
Pl write to [email protected] in case you are keen to be a part of the initiative.
Pl spread this word.
@AadiAchint
For those who do not know, in the early 1900s, the British-run Howrah Municipality refused to give Belur Math a proper water connection, viewing the monks as potentially rebellious.
Instead of pleading, the monks designed & built their own gravity-based filtration system using layers of sand, charcoal, & stones.
The water they produced was purer than the municipal supply. British officials who visited were stunned to find that a group of monks had engineered a superior water treatment plant with ZERO external support.
Thanks Parimal @Fintech03 for recalling these historic battles.
As Chairman of @WIPO SCIT Committee, I remember emphasising to the assembly of 190 member states that knowledge generated by my ancestors in ‘laboratories of life’ has to be treated ON PAR with knowledge generated in ‘formal research laboratories’ of the west.
Traditional Knowledge was not considered as a knowledge at all in the International Patent Classification System till then, which was then was forced to change.
Please read and hear my first hand account of this battle in

In the 1990s, India was facing a Biological Colonization. If Dr. R.A. Mashelkar had not stepped in, we might have ended up paying a royalty to a US corporation every time we used turmeric on a wound/exported Basmati rice.
In 1997, a Texas-based company called RiceTec was granted a patent by the USPTO (US Patent & Trademark Office) for Basmati Rice lines & grains. They claimed they had invented a superior strain of rice. Mashelkar realized that if this patent stood, Indian farmers would be barred from selling their own rice under the name Basmati in the US. It was a theft of Geographical Intellectual Property.
He did not just shout Injustice. He assembled a team to find Genetic Fingerprints. They proved that the new rice was actually derived from Indian germplasm that had existed for centuries. The USPTO was forced to strike down the majority of the claims.
2 researchers at the University of Mississippi were granted a patent for the use of turmeric in healing wounds. To a Western patent officer, this was a novel invention. To an Indian, it was something their grandmother did every day. Mashelkar produced an ancient Sanskrit text as Prior Art. The USPTO demanded a translation. He provided evidence from the Journal of the Indian Medical Association dating back to 1953 + ancient Ayurvedic texts.
This was the 1st time in history that a patent granted to a US entity was successfully challenged & revoked based on the Traditional Knowledge of a developing country.
Mashelkar also realized that India could not fight 10000 legal battles every yr. He needed a Scalable Solution. Patent officers in the West were not malicious; they were just Data Blind. They could not read Sanskrit/Tamil/Persian. If a discovery was not in an English journal, it did not exist in their system.
He hired 100s of experts (Ayurveda practitioners, IT engineers, & Patent lawyers). They took 500000+ formulations & converted them into a digitized Shloka to Code format. The data was rendered in English, French, German, Japanese, & Spanish.
Today, India has signed agreements with the USPTO, the European Patent Office, & others. Before an officer grants a patent, they run a TKDL Scan. If the herb/method is in the library, the patent is rejected instantly.
Spent time in @AgastyaGurukul1’s Jayanagar campus today with their CEO Yamini Dalal ji.
It’s a Samskrit medium Gurukula where children study Ganit, Vigyan, Tark, Sanskrit Vykaran, Itihasa, English and much more.
These kids can discuss and debate topics in Samskrit, Kannada, English and Hindi interchangeably.
The Sanskrit Effect can clearly be seen on each of them.
Bhartiya Gurukul space is getting strong.
Apart from the vedpati Gurkuls of different mutts, in last one decade Anaadi, Agastya, Leela Gurukulam, Vidyachetra, Vidyaranyam, Gautirth, SSY Rishi Gurkul are doing great work.
Iskcon, Sadguru, Baba Ramdev, Sri Sri, Swami Narayan have their schools with some strong elements of Gurkuls.
Agastya, Leela and Anaadi have their online presence also.
They are creating nation builders for tomorrow.
Send your kids to one of these or join hands with them to start in your city.
Please comment about the gurukul in your area or which you have visited.
🍁 ARMY GENERAL WHO DEFIED PRIME MINISTER:🍁
The year was 1959, the place was Amritsar. Some Indian Army officers and their wives went to Railway station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women and try to molest them. The Army officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre.
The matter had been reported to commanding officer " Col Jyothi Mohan Sen" . On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out and the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; who was none other than the son of Honourable Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, the close associate of the then Prime Minister, Jawahar Lal Nehru.
All the goons were stripped to their underwares, paraded in the streets of Amritsar and later interned in the cantonment. Next day, the Chief Minister became furious and tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration.
You know what happened?
His vehicle was not allowed to go in to the cantonment as VIP vehicle, he was compelled to walk all the way to meet the colonel. The infuriated Chief Minister, Kairon complained about whole affair to Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
Those days were different, democracy was in nascent stage, leaders though powerful have some qualms and ethics.
The perplexed, Prime Minister Nehru instead of questioning his confidante Pratap Singh Kairon, sought explanation from the Army Chief General Timmayya for the conduct of his officers.
You know what Thimmayya replied?
"If we can not defend the honour of our women, how can you expect us to defend the honour of our country?"
Nehru was dumbfounded. That was the story of a brave soldier who defied Prime Minister.
This article was contributed by Maj. Gen. Dhruv C Katoch in the magazine -Salute to the Indian soldier.
I post a story like this every single day. Most people never see them. Follow so you don't miss the next one.
A must read article on Sabarimala case by a revered Jain Sadhu. It has deep implications for the religious soverignty of Indic faiths which do not invade other faiths like Abrahamic faiths do. This is extremely crucial for dharmic faiths

Precisely what an Acharya must do! Their words carry more weight than all our discourse platforms and media debates put together. More voices must come out, and reach all sections of our society.
Pranams to Sri Sannidhanam 🙏🏽
In the wake of the deeply distressing and alarming incidents, and the concerns it raises for the well-being of society and the values of Sanatana Dharma, Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji underscores the pressing need for constant awareness of the evolving circumstances across the country, vigilance towards vulnerabilities that may arise in the absence of due alertness, and a renewed emphasis on imparting strong dharmic samskaras to all.
