So well said…

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?

Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?

Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?

This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.

If the govt still feels "retail will absorb the shock", bhagwan bachaye.🤷

Unless we make the country investor friendly, we'll have a steep price to pay.
Draconian taxation,treating traders like gamblers, making illogical rules- not gonna end well for "MF sahi h guys"

[sandip sabharwal @sandipsabharwal]

"One Nation, One Election" isn't what we need.

A better approach: One Nation, Two Polls.

• Lok Sabha + half the states together
• Remaining states vote 2.5 years later
This ensures continuous accountability and governance
while curbing excessive populism

[Raju Parulekar @rajuparulekar]

So they were NOT TAKING decisions for 140 crore Indians for the last 12 years❓

That’s so candid of Modi Regime.

[Vineeth K @DealsDhamaka]

For a few years, I believed opposition was truly dead in India

There was no one to voice common man concerns

Raghav Chadha has been fabulous on key topics we all are worked - Food Adulteration, High personal taxes and LTCG, real estate documents digitisation etc.

Shashi Tharoor speaks about the rising Home prices

Supriya Sule consistently raising issues around inflation, MSP delays, farmer distress, and fuel prices

Woww … I am liking these discussions in the parliament. They seem to be more data driven than emotions.

[Darvas Box Trader @darvasboxtrader]

I wish to see, one day, an educated #PrimeMinister ,
someone who wears a #suit, speaks the language of #economics,
and discusses #national issues with data, logic, and clarity.

@raghav_chadha hats off to you..🇮🇳

#DARVAS 🥸

[Kapil Dhama @kapildhama]

Dear friend @raghav_chadha your understanding of STT seems flawed.

Increasing STT does not reduce speculation or make traders profitable.

It only raises transaction costs and eventually will push volumes offshore or into informal setups.

Education & risk control curb losses not punitive taxes.

[Tarun Gautam @TARUNspeakss]

After getting a thrashing from Arnab in English, Piyush Goyal received bashing in Hindi from Chitra

Deal so bad that even hardcore Godi media anchors have been forced to question😭

Piyush Goyal has single-handedly destroyed Modi’s PR on trade deal🤣

[Alok Jain ⚡ @WeekendInvestng]

40 pct of this loss was STT?

[The Sawarn Voice @Thesawarnvoice9]

Raghav Chadha exposed the double standards of airlines in Parliament.

1 kg extra baggage
Passenger pays thousands.

5 hour flight delay
Airline pays nothing.

If passengers are penalized by the kilo, airlines must compensate by the hour.

Accountability cannot be one sided. Time is worth more than luggage.

[Manoj Arora @manoj_216]

The government launches Sovereign Gold Bonds to discourage physical gold, promises tax-free maturity, no storage risk, and liquidity via secondary markets.
Citizens buy in good faith.
Then markets do what markets are supposed to do - prices move, yields differ, opportunities arise - and suddenly:
“If you made a profit, the government deserves its share.”
That’s not taxation.
That’s changing the rules after the game has started.
When SGBs were illiquid and traded at deep discounts, nobody rushed to “share the pain.”
But when investors patiently held, understood pricing, and took risk - that intelligence now needs to be taxed?

[SanJeet @sanjufunda]

Govt to SGB investors:
📈 You PROFIT → "I want profit share"
📉 You LOSE → "I'm blind"
This isn't taxation.
This is LOOTING. 💰🔫

#SGBScam #OneWayLoot

@nsitharaman @narendramodi @PMOIndia

[LifeAfterFI @LifeAfterFI]

Modi doesn't realize (or maybe he does and doesn't give a fuck since his bhooka nanga kachradaata vote bank is unlikely affected) the trust deficit this sort of retrospective taxation creates in honest tax payer citizens. For decades.

[CA Chirag Chauhan @CAChirag]

Taxing SGB Sovereign Gold Bonds retrospectively is unfair.

Investors were assured of tax-free maturity, but #Budget2026 made it taxable for secondary market buyers.

The proposal should be reviewed and dropped. What are your thoughts?

[ScientificQuant @QuantScientific]

Absolutely useless

[R. Balakrishnan @BalakrishnanR]

Do we deserve this government and this Finance Minister?

[Kanan Bahl @BahlKanan]

For years, it has been mentioned on the RBI website that SGBs will be tax-free on maturity.

Now they are being taxed if purchased from open mkt.

So what's next?
PPF?
NPS?
EPF?
Sukanya Samriddhi?

[Vishnu 🪳 📉📈 @VishnuFNO]

With Demonetization Modi destroyed the Trust on Indian Currency.

With today's rule change on SGB, Modi destroyed the Trust on Indian Bonds.

He is favouring foreign countries by destroying Indian Economy.

He should not be PM for even one day.

[Learner Vivek Bajaj @vivbajaj]

Got up this morning with a mix of hopelessness, rejection, uncertainty and sadness. And one question kept coming back to me.

Do I really deserve this?

The constant burden of paying massive taxes in so many forms. Abnormal and ever changing regulatory compliances. A permanent fear about what tomorrow may bring.

Do we deserve this?

Not able to breathe properly, thanks to rising pollution.Not able to walk properly, thanks to poor infrastructure.Not able to sleep peacefully, thanks to the constant anxiety of regulatory actions and uncertainty.

Do we deserve this?

Sometimes I feel the answer is uncomfortable.

Maybe we do, because our future is often decided by a few individuals,who do not believe in listening,do not believe in inclusion in decision making.

Progress cannot be built by fear. A nation cannot grow when its entrepreneurs and professionals live in constant worry.

We don’t need favours. We only need fairness, stability and a voice at the table without getting punished for poor conduct of others.

Increasing STT is not just a solo event. It is clear reflection of our society where anything can be done at the preface of morality.

What is funny is that the highest contributor of losses of retail investors is taxes itself apart from the fees earned by institutions where government is also one of the share holders via public institutions like LIC etc.

I guess I have to accept this because we have a healthy democracy up and running and have right to speak what we want to, only till we get some notice from some corner.

Still love my country, I am hopeful.
