This Sonal lady is so dumb that even the people on her side have to fact check her multiple times. Nonstop Careless lies. In a regular corporate set-up if there is such consistency of incompetence, one is chucked out. I don’t know how people survive.
Only when I go home, I experience the joy of taking bath using a bucket & a mug instead of a shower. We do have a shower. But hear me out.
Shower is linear streaming. Predictable. You get numb to the flow, the temperature. You do your stuff & get out. Bucket & Mug teaches your body to do batch-processing of water.
Only when you use a mug to pour cold water over your head, that you feel the adrenaline of being waterboarded. That reflex of your body, when it feels it’s about to drown. That’s the fun.
There is also the fun of performing buoyancy experiments with the mug as you sit there, with the tap filling up the bucket. There is no guilt of wasting water, as you happily apply soap/shampoo as the water accumulates in the bucket.
Also the noise you create, which makes the entire neighborhood realise someone is taking bath and not a shower. Pls try it one of these days ;)
"No European country has been attacked with Indian Weapons... So Keep that in Mind"...!!!
I think Europe was not expecting that answer from Minister @DrSJaishankar 👏
This is not a "real story". This is just a story.
Indians earn, save, and spend in INR. This sort of misrepresentation, coming from a professor, seems purposefully creating fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
The USD itself has lost ~32% of its purchasing power in the last 15 years. This is because of inflation.
Controlled inflation (under 5-6%) is considered normal and even healthy for a growing economy. A fast growing economy like India tends to have higher inflation naturally.
In fact, central bankers and finance ministers get worried if inflation drops too low. Focusing only on the nominal USD rate without this context is purposefully misleading.
So while INR has lost its purchasing power, it is natural just like the USD has lost its purchasing power. Someone's savings in India, to be used in India, suddenly doesn't become 50% less due to USD/INR rate increase.
One day in the coming time, INR will suddenly start appreciating against the USD quickly. Then what will they say? They will change the attack to "inflation" then. These are the same people talking about de-dollarization and USD "crashing soon" as well.
So assuming they are right, if suddenly we wake up to 1 USD = 50 INR, did every Indian become twice as rich in the night? Because its GDP and GDP per capita is suddenly 2x now in USD terms? No.
The real story is, for those who can understand these things and see the pattern, there's an orchestrated attempt from a large network of anti-establishment types to fear monger and incite Indians to try cause political and economic instability in India.
Indians, especially Gen Z:
Criticize your government as much as you want. Ask hard questions. Hold them accountable.
But never become a pawn for forces sitting outside this country.
There is a reason we were sanctioned after Pokhran. There is a reason our strategic developments are met with protests. There is a reason you are being systematically taught to hate your civilization.
Revolutions don't work in a country as large and complex as India. It will always become a tool for our adversaries to exploit our fault lines.
So protest. Push back. Confront.
But always be cautious of anyone trying to steer a revolution from outside. They have zero skin in the game.
@GabbbarSingh@Pivot2Centre what they don't understand is such kind of anti Modi/ anti India articles are actually helping Modi in unifying his supporters/ citizens of India even more ! So, aane do !!
Heartwarming, but powerful…
Real leadership isn’t seen from a car -
it’s revealed in moments like this.

Not protocol. Not politics.
Just humanity…! ❤️🔥
Wherever she went to campaign, people came out, hugged and cried. She promised to not comb her hair, until she defeated this tyrannical govt. What a story!

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....
