What if Sonam Wangchuk went on another hunger strike, but this time demanding the abolition of the reservation?
Would he get support from celebrities? Would Instagram influencers run campaigns urging the govt to listen to him? Not at all. If anything, he might be physically attacked, and the govt would arrest him for provoking public sentiment and inciting riots. Nobody would call the govt 'oppressive' that time.
Essentially, neither his hunger strike nor his life is what truly matters; only the narrative matters. All of this emotional appeal to rally behind him is not for his sake, but for the sake of the narrative. His supposedly good image among the youth is merely a smokescreen to obscure the agenda driving him forward.
Such kind of support is always transactional. The moment the asset stops serving the ideological goals of the narrative-creators, his moral immunity will be revoked, his 'good image' will be dismantled overnight, and the very same crowd that idolises him would abandon him.
Gazab chutiya kat gaya. Went to Apple store last week for a Macbook. The guy said 18k discount if I can arrange student ID. Told him I would come by the week after after arranging one. 🤣
It is not as if she has any autonomy over her portfolio. Most crucial decisions are taken by PMO.
Overall, I believe she has done a relatively better job than most of the other ministers in the cabinet.
Ashwini Vaishnaw is that one manager who somehow holds multiple departments simultaneously, is visibly failing at all of them and still cannot be removed because performance was never the criteria for the position. Loyalty is the only KPI that matters and bootlicking has better job security than results.
NITI Aayog was supposed to be a policy think tank. Nobody told me it was also a baddie aggregation centre running a higher density than most tier-2 colleges?

I heard the best conspiracy theory today. The entire Vinesh Phogat and WFI controversy has been orchestrated by BJP to ensure that Congress and SP stay away from Brij Bhushan Sharan singh and Singh has no choice but to stay in BJP at BJP’s term.
A low-level politician from my home-state, Madhya Pradesh, India, was appointed the head of MP Textbook Corporation (even the USSR could not have thought of such a government body). Here is his convoy. Imagine the bribe collection he has to do to make up.
Just watched a video of kumar Vishwas & curly tales & was speechless to see Vishwas's house.
He is a rich person. A person who is earning 1L per month is also a rich person but might not be 1/1000th of Vishwas.
In India, you can become pseudo rich very soon with just 1L pm.
