@ShiroPandey This is such a one sided argument. What is acceptable practice or mode of expression in India may or may not be acceptable outside of Indian context. Ever heard of the saying ‘When in Rome…

My parents came back from their Europe trip with @makemytrip and it was a disaster. Largely because of the tour manager, Mr. Sabbir. He threatened and misbehaved with travelers constantly, a lot of whom were senior citizens. Instead of facilitating the journey and addressing queries, he would yell at people if they took 5 mins extra to take a photo. This was supposed to be a vacation and not a school trip with a teacher. This is extremely unprofessional behaviour and a horrible experience for the travellers. People spend their hard earned money to enjoy and relax and not be yelled at by a tour manager. Shockingly, he announced plans to start his own travel company, claiming it would be better than MMT. Fellow passengers have also complained. MMT, please take action! #TravelNightmare #MMTFeedback @makemytripcare #BadExperiencewithMMT

Interesting read! Iran 1951 and India 2024. The similarities? Mossadegh...and...Modi Have you ever wondered "Why Iranians call America "The Devil's Land"? The British had dominated Iran's oil trade, with 84% of Iran's oil production going to England and only 16% to Iran. The Emperor of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was a corrupt man, so he didn't care! (Iran had a constitutional monarchy, constitutional monarchy also has elections, Parliament.) In 1951, Mohammed Mossadegh, a staunch patriot, became the Prime Minister. He did not like the dominance of foreign companies in Iran's oil trade. On March 15, 1951, he presented a Bill for the nationalization of Iran's oil industry in Parliament, which was passed by majority. After this Bill was passed, Iranians began to dream of happiness, that now their poverty would be removed! Times magazine called Mossadegh "Man of the year" in 1951! But due to these developments, the British lost a lot! The British started many small and big attempts to remove Mossadegh, tried to bribe Mossadegh, tried to assassinate Mossadegh, attempted a military coup, but because Mossadegh was very experienced and intelligent, the British assassination, bribery plots failed. Mossadegh was very popular among the Iranian people. Being popular, a military coup was also not possible. Finally the British asked for help from America. America's CIA approved a $1 million fund to remove Mossadegh. 1 million dollars equals 4250 crore Rials (Iranian currency)! The funds were sent to the American Ambassador in Tehran (the capital of Iran). Mossadegh wanted to completely end the monarchy in Iran and give all the power to Parliament. Emperor of Iran, therefore, was also on the side of England and America. US plan was to create discontent against Mossadegh and remove popular support to him, then overthrow his Government with the help of corrupt Parliamentarians. A large number of Iranian journalists, editors, Muslim clerics were paid 631 crore Riyals by the US. Those journalists, editors and Muslim clerics had only one thing to do in return, which was to incite the people against Mossadegh. Members of the Iranian Parliament were paid 46 million Rials each to spread propaganda against Mossadegh's work. Thousands of Iranians were paid to participate in the false protests. They started marching on the Parliament. Big media around the world also started supporting America. Mossadegh began to be referred to as "the Dictator" in "The New York Times". "Times" magazine called Mossadegh's choice dangerous. Opposition to Mossadegh began at a very low level, with cartoons depicting him as gay. Realizing that his Government was about to be overthrown by corrupt MPs, Mossadegh dissolved the Parliament. The US forced the Iranian Emperor to remove Mossadegh from his post as Prime Minister. (Since Mossadegh had the authority to accept or reject the order, the Emperor decided to arrest him if he refused the order!) But Mossadegh's soldiers arrested the Army unit that had come to arrest him, and upon learning this, the Emperor of Iran fled to Baghdad! Finally, by paying a bribe of 210 million Rials, the US instigated fake riots in the capital of Iran, with the help of mercenaries. Rioters attacked Mossadegh's house, Mossadegh was forced to flee, military overthrew the then present power. A puppet became Prime Minister citing the old order of the Emperor. After the Emperor returned to Iran, Mossadegh surrendered. He was put on trial, imprisoned, and then held under house arrest until his death. (Mossadegh died in custody at the age of 85.) After that, America and England shared 40% - 40% of Iranian oil and the remaining 20% was given to other European companies. For decades, the Iranian people had to live under the dictatorship of the Shah. A revolution ended the Monarchy; but then the fanatical Khomeini came to power and the condition of Iranian people became even worse. What was Mossadegh's crime..? "Sectors of the country should be dominated by indigenous companies instead of foreign companies!" This policy was his crime..? Under Mossadegh's leadership, Iran could have become a fully democratic country before 1955, and its oil production could have benefited only Iran. The decades of torture inflicted on the Iranian people would not have happened. With a strong democracy and a Government that favors indigenous companies, Iran could have become probably a more prosperous country than Saudi Arabia today. But Iran's corrupt parliamentarians, journalists, editors, protestors sold Iran's rich future for just one million dollars. During this period of oppression, the Iranian people began to realize that America had a hand in overthrowing Mossadegh's Government. In 1979, the Iranians detained Americans in the US embassy for 444 days. 77 volumes of documents relating to this US operation were found in the embassy; which were later released by the Iranians. That's why Iranians call America, "Satan's Country"! Mossadegh could not complete the policy to break the dominance of foreign companies and promote indigenous companies; but instead, developed enmity with the two superpowers of the world. He had an unfortunate end, unlike Bollywood films where the hero wins every time. Now, consider who were the real villains for Iran..? They were the Journalists, editors, MPs, activists who were sold to America! Had these people not been sold & if the people would have stood behind Mossadegh, America would not have succeeded. But for four paise, the patriotic leader was called "Kumshah" and soon the whole country was ruined! Our country 'India' is also on the same path today. It is a great misfortune that the common citizens do not notice the ongoing conspiracies, unless they suffer endless atrocities. It is wise to be alert in time and not fall prey to this very corrupt media propaganda. Trust our patriotic present Indian leadership and stand firmly behind it. Otherwise a disaster like Iran is inevitable..... The Intelligence Agencies of big capitalist countries are working day and night to make many politicians of India work as their agents with the sole aim of removing the present leadership of the country. It is said that our destiny is in our own hands. We just need to understand it properly. Jai Hind 🇮🇳 🚩 Share maximum...🙏
