Tamil Nadu has become one of the first states to benefit from the new India-UK trade agreement, sending its first export shipment to the UK on the very day the agreement came into effect.
The new trade framework is expected to create more opportunities for joint ventures, technology sharing and exports, especially in automobiles, engineering, electronics, textiles, leather and footwear.
European companies have already proposed investments worth around ₹8,491 crore, which could create nearly 5,690 jobs in Tamil Nadu.
Do you know who slows Bharat down?
Not Pakistan.
Not China.
Not even the 0.5 front.
The biggest drag is the IAS System.
In 1947, the British left.
But we kept the Architecture.
The brown sahibs of India.
And the system was built not to serve citizens.
It was to extort from citizens.
The system does not reward outcomes.
It rewards survival.
It rewards tenure.
It rewards procedural safety.
And when survival becomes the incentive,
execution becomes the casualty.
A file enters an office as a newborn.
It leaves with voting rights.
Some files are not pending.
They are deliberately kept pending.
With the "Forwarded for Necessary Action" tag.
Officer A marks it to Officer B.
Officer B marks it to Officer C.
Officer C seeks clarification from Officer A.
This is our Administrative efficiency.
The safest bureaucrat rarely solves the biggest problem.
He simply avoids the riskiest decision.
No decision.
No signature.
No blame.
Career safe.
Promotion comes with years.
Accountability never arrives.
Today, Bharat has ~5,577 serving IAS officers.
~8000 are retired.
Cost to the taxpayer?
Serving IAS cadre.
Up to ~₹6,500 crore a year.
Retired IAS pensions.
Up to ~₹2,000 crore a year.
And that is not the whole machine.
Salary.
DA.
HRA.
Government accommodation.
Bungalows and their maintenance.
Official cars.
Drivers.
Fuel.
Air and rail travel.
Hotels.
Daily allowances.
LTC.
Medical benefits.
Transfers and relocation.
Training.
Phones.
Laptops.
Office infrastructure.
Electricity.
Support staff.
Secretariat machinery.
Collectorate machinery.
Security.
Pensions.
Family pensions.
Gratuity.
The government pays to recruit them.
Train them.
House them.
Move them.
Transport them.
Support them.
And finally, retire them.
But here is the strange part.
We can calculate almost every input.
Where is the public dashboard measuring the output?
Where is the public KPI?
Which Collector reduced file pendency the most?
Which Secretary delivered the highest policy outcomes?
Which officer consistently completed projects on time?
Which officer transformed public service delivery?
Which officer remained a bottleneck for years?
Where is the scorecard?
Every profession is measured.
Businesses measure profit.
Students are measured.
Teachers are measured.
Companies are measured.
Taxpayers are measured.
Citizens are measured.
Political parties are measured.
Why are Babus never measured?
And why is their promotion guaranteed?
Now, imagine an IAS officer.
He played ping-pong with files his whole career.
One table to another.
One department to another.
One decade to another.
Then he retires.
But the taxpayer doesn't.
Why should taxpayers keep paying?
For a career never measured by performance?
The British built this system to extract from us.
And we still live under its architecture.
While proudly calling ourselves independent.
Chinese company Unitree reveal their "all terrain" wheeled robot dog that climbs cliffs, races across rough terrain, and can be your travel companion.
Very soon, Galgotia University should be showcasing this invention 😉

Invite TVK to Form Government in Tamil Nadu
Uphold the Constitution
Respected Madam #President,
We, the citizens of India, respectfully urge your immediate attention to the government formation process in Tamil Nadu following the 2026 Assembly Elections. Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has emerged as the single largest party in the Assembly. In a parliamentary democracy, constitutional convention and democratic principles require that the leader of the single largest party be given the first opportunity to prove majority support on the Assembly floor. Any unjustified delay or denial of this constitutional process raises serious concerns about democratic fairness and the sanctity of the people’s mandate.
The Governor’s office is a constitutional institution, not a political instrument. The Constitution must prevail above political calculations. We therefore request: Immediate invitation to TVK to form the government. A floor test within a stipulated timeframe. Strict adherence to constitutional morality and democratic convention. The people of Tamil Nadu have spoken. Their mandate must be respected.
Governor must obey the Constitution.
Democracy must prevail.
