The mayonnaise giving flavour to this democratic sandwich of India,I'm the ignored middle class lying between the upper & lower slices
RTs are not endorsements.
Elon, you've officially run out of arguments. Now every Indian who disagrees with you is "Ambani's shill."
Nobody said Starlink is too strong. Nobody's scared of your competition. India's problem is you. A Pentagon contractor building Trump's Golden Dome wants to run internet over Indian soil, and he throws a tantrum every time someone asks who holds the off switch.
Ambani's de facto monopoly?
You SIGNED A DEAL with that monopoly in March 2025 to sell Starlink in India. You didn't have a problem with Ambani when he was your reseller.
You only discovered his monopoly when Jio announced its own satellites.
And let's talk about hypocrisy.
Tesla's biggest factory is in Shanghai. Starlink is banned in China. Have you ever called Xi Jinping a monopolist?
Called Chinese critics shills? Written a sarcastic letter to Prime Minister Xi?
No.
Because Beijing would shut your factory by Monday. India can't, so India gets the insults.
now the math your own fans keep posting starlink could add 100–200 million Indian homes. Starlink is approved for 600 Gbps over India. Split across 100 million homes, that's 6 kilobits per second each. Your revolution is slower than a 1998 dial-up modem. 🤡
If it's too expensive, no one will buy it.
Your own India website showed ₹8,600 a month. A Jio plan costs ₹349. Indians already ran the numbers.
Five days of meltdown. Crime against India. Prime Minister Ambani. collages. And now shills.
The richest man on earth, crying on his own app because a sovereign country wants a security check.
Sit down, elon. Finish the paperwork. India isn't a tesla shareholder you can bully on X.
It may be surprising to journalists but India is not Delhi.
Nobody cares about this protest outside of that 1km in Delhi.
It is a working Saturday.
People are going to their jobs. Folks are going to the markets to buy their groceries. Children are going to school. Kids are playing on the grounds. Restaurants expect good weekend business. Businesses have opened their shops. Festive preparations are on in full swing.
Delhi has a main-character syndrome.
Journalists think the whole country revolves around what happens in Delhi.
It doesn't.
This is hilarious..🤣
Jaya Bacchan stared at journalist with anger.
But journalist said, "Madam, ghur kaahe rhi ho, aap Amitabh Bachchan ki wife ho isiliye photo liya.. Ye aankhe Amitabh Bachchan ko dikhaana Hume nhi."😆

@JeetuBesla कहानी अच्छि है
आंसू आ गए टाइप
नीचे "मनोहर कहानियां से साभार" लिखना चाहिए था
वैसे ये भाषा की मर्यादा वाला ज्ञान सोनिया जी ने अपने बदतमीज सुपुत्र को नहीं दिया कभी जिसकी भाषा मोदीजी के बारे में कतई स्तरहीन और सड़कछाप रही है???
@mktyaggi बिल्कुल सही, पर जब आप अपनी कम्पनी में लिए किसी कॉर्पोरेट डिसीजन को पब्लिक प्लेटफॉर्म पर पोस्ट करते हैं(रीच पाने के लिए)तब उसपर अपनी राय देने का सभी को अधिकार है,वैसे ट्रैफिक जाम और भाषाई आतंकवाद के जहन्नुम बंगलुरू में लोगों को खुद ही नौकरी करने नहीं जाना चाहिए ये मेरी निजी राय है
@MrinalPande1 अभिषेक के सौम्य और संस्कारी होने का श्रेय आपने जयाजी को दिया क्योंकि वे बीजेपी विरोधी हैं वरना दुनिया जानती है कि वो कितनी गुस्सैल, बदतमीज और बेहूदा महिला हैं। सौम्यता और संस्कार अमिताभ जी से ही आये हैं पर आपको तो हर बात अपने एजेंडे के एंगल से ही देखनी और दिखानी है
@rahuldev2@grok मैदान की कैपेसिटी 15 हज़ार थी, स्टूडेंट्स को पर रजिस्ट्रेशन एक प्लेट फ्री पानीपुरी खिला खिला कर रजिस्ट्रेशन करवाये गए थे
ऐसी ही फोटू और ट्वीट दिखा कर ये कांग्रेसी बेचारे रागा को झूठी उम्मीदें देते हैं और फिर जब चुनाव में बुरी तरह हारते हैं तो वो भोला आदमी ईवीएम को कोसता है।
@biased_human वही पुरानी घिसी पीटी कहानी
1. मेरी माँ पहले बीजेपी की वोटर थी अब मोदी को गाली देती है
2. मैं 2024 तक कट्टर भाजपाई था पर अब राहुल गांधी की बातोँ में दम लगता है
3. कल एयपोर्ट पर मैं जिस टैक्सी में बैठा उसका ड्राइवर बोला बीजेपी ने लूट लिया अम्बानी के साथ मिलकर

Dear BJP,
I am your staunch ideological supporter.
It pains me to see your Vinash Kale Viprit Buddhi. You have completely lost touch with the ground reality. Except Amit Shah, you have an army of incompetent central leadership which will cost you 2029 elections.
First you brought Ethanol Policy that affects every single voter. Nobody is happy. Regardless of whether the damage to their vehicle will happen because of E20 or not, people will blame Ethanol Policy only.
Then you did massive blunder with Jantar Mantar protest. Nobody was bothered about the protest but you randomly took away Sonam Wangchuk one morning which created the unnecessary hype.
If that wasn’t enough, you want to charge people on UPI payments. Every single person today uses UPI and they will be impacted by it. UPI is our pride. Please don’t destroy it. If people have to pay ₹300 on a transaction, they will happily move to cash again.
When you bring acts like UGC, you are simply telling your core UC voter base to f*** off because you have taken their votes for granted. Please don’t.
If this continues, even Rahul Gandhi can’t save you in 2029 elections.
Dear @Javedakhtarjadu. I'm afraid your response is as boring and overloaded as your similes and metaphors. When countered with facts, you shift the goalpost, bring in the RSS, berate the right wing, take refuge in context, cushion the bigotry, and claim Kafirs were Colonialists not Hindus.
I know countering you again is like watering a cactus and praying for leechis, but in the hope that all that knee massaging with Doctor Ortho would have sprouted some neurons, here goes:
You asked for a source because you said the quote was “quite unlike” Azad’s “lifelong sociopolitical stances.” I gave you the source: Calcutta, 27 October 1914, published in Khutbat-e-Azad. The words are his. That should have ended the enquiry. It did not. So let us walk through your new script, line by line.
1. “The khutbats were about Khilafat and British colonialism.”
Yes. That is what I wrote. Maulana Azad was telling Indian Muslims that a Turk’s battlefield thorn must be felt in a Hindustani Muslim’s heart; that Millat-e-Islam is one body; that friendship and enmity are for the religion of Allah. Then he quoted Quran 48:29 and added his own gloss: be extremely hard against disbelievers, extremely kind among yourselves, and do not pass over this as if you had not heard it. You asked for the when and where. You received both. “It was about Khilafat” is not a rebuttal. It is the context in which he said it.
2. “To claim he was quoting this about the Hindus of India will not be true. The Kafir here was the colonialist.”
I did not say the 1914 speech was a municipal circular against the Hindus of Howrah. I quoted what Azad quoted: a Quranic verse about kuffar, and his commentary on unbelief, Tawhid, and hardness toward disbelievers. If Azad had meant “kafir = only the British officer,” he knew Urdu enough to say Angrez. He did not. He used the Book’s word, then told his flock not to skip it.
And if “kafir” in Azad’s mouth was a temporary colonial nickname, kindly explain the 1920 Hijrat fatwa, published in Ahl-e-Hadith of Amritsar, in which he said Indian Muslims had no choice but to migrate, and that those who stayed and kept connection with “the enemy of Islam” would themselves be counted as the enemy of Islam. That is not a lecture on income-tax collectors. That is a theology of the land.
3. “When Ataturk took over, Azad called it a closed chapter and condoned the secular government.”
Men change. Texts do not. If later Azad made peace with the death of the Caliphate, good for the later Azad. It does not unsay 1914, nor the Khilafat years, nor Masala-e-Khilafat, nor the call that any government hostile to Turkey was hostile to Islam, not the belief in the Quranic verse damning the Kafirs. You began by saying the paragraph was unlike his lifelong stances. Lifelong includes the years he spent as a pan-Islamist firebrand. Evolution is not an eraser. It is a timeline.
4. “Read his Calcutta High Court statement. An honour no member of the Mahasabha or RSS was ever given.”
Sedition charges from the Raj are not a unique family heirloom. Tilak got them. Aurobindo got them. Savarkar was given two life terms and sent to Cellular Jail, where the honour included the oil mill, the lash, and years in a cell the size of a cupboard.
And of course, knowing your pitiful knowledge of Indian History, I guess you would not know legendary RSS names like Devipad Chaudhary, Jagatpati Kumar, Anna Saheb Deshpande, Ramakant Keshav, Vasantrao Oak, Narayan Singh, Chandrakant Bhardwaj, Dada Naik Chimur, Baburao Begade, Lala Hansraj, Balaji Raipurkar who participated in our freedom struggle and were jailed or shot.
5. “Azad was in British jails for nine years. Name one from your right wing who can match that.”
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar: roughly a decade in Kala Pani, further years in mainland jails, then thirteen years of internment in Ratnagiri. Sentence on paper: fifty years. Conditions: not Ahmednagar Fort with time to write Ghubar-e-Khatir.
By the way, you might know that your great-great-grandfather Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi was also incarcerated at Kala Pani. What you might not know, or would want to hide, is that he wrote a grovelling mercy petition to the British, pleading to be released.
6. “In 1946 Jinnah refused to shake Azad’s hand. He hated Azad for his patriotism.”
How does this turn “be severe against the kafirs, merciful among themselves” into a sonnet about communal harmony? A man can spend 1946 refusing Partition and still have spent 1914 telling Indian Muslims that their first body is the ummah. Fairness is holding both pages open. What you are doing is hiding the 1914 page and waving the 1946 one like a flag.
7. “Your reference to Rahul Gandhi was unnecessary, I expect decency and class.”
And I expected you to have some sense of humour. The PS was a reminder that this is the second time I have had to fetch your hero’s paperwork. Last time it was Nehru’s India: books banned, editors sacked, films blocked, Majrooh jailed for a couplet.
You lecture me on class after moving from “this cannot be Azad” to “it is Azad but you must read kafir as colonialist” to “anyway he went to jail” to “Jinnah was rude to him” to “please don’t mention Rahul.” That is not class. That is a guided tour of every exit except the text.
Look, Javed sahab, let us end this here. I like you. Doubtless a lot of your work is incredible, truly it is. So in that spirit, permit me to pen an ode to you:
Javed Akhtar ko dekha toh aisa laga, jaise chhal ka nawab, jaise jhoot ki kitaab, jaise dhong ki kiran, jaise adambar ka van, jaise kapton ki baat, jaise pakhand ki raat, jaise janpath mein ho ek jalta diya.
Alvida, Shabba khair. WDTP
