Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.

India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.

India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.

Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.

Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.

Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.

India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.

@StepneyTyre @BharatologyMeme @IMeghaChavan lets say you are put in a 5x5 room alone for rest of your life vs you being in city with friends like you....where will you be happy ?
if you ask the same question for 100 more people, what the majority will answer will be the answer of any animal...

@Shaikh_Mohsin12 @ECISVEEP instead of giving out so many lists, they should simply have added a search option with voter ID...
this would have costed less efforts for everyone and keep citizens info private...
but nhi, inko common sense ki cheeze bhi nahi karni aati

[Pune Mirror @ThePuneMirror]

A critical civic safety crisis has emerged across Pune, where municipal records reveal that 69.64% of the city's 2,460.72-kilometre road network amounting to 1,713.72 km completely lacks footpaths. Pedestrians are provided walkways on only 747 kilometres (30.36%) of roads, and 42 kilometres of these existing pavements are currently in urgent need of repair, forcing children, senior citizens, women, and persons with disabilities to risk their lives walking directly in traffic. Even where footpaths are available, they remain largely obstructed by commercial encroachments, illegal vehicular parking, food stalls, utility boxes, construction debris, and unrepaired utility excavations. Although the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) adopted a comprehensive 'Walk Smart' pedestrian policy in January 2016 mandating continuous, two-metre-wide, barrier-free pathways with tactile paving and ramps, the norms have largely remained on paper, prompting a proposed budgetary allocation of ₹100 crore for footpath construction and maintenance in 2026–27.

Ready to Open, Refused to Open: The Bridge Waiting for a Ribbon

A fully completed bridge connecting Kharadi and Keshav Nagar has remained closed for nearly seven months, leaving residents frustrated while commuters continue to struggle with longer routes. Locals told Pune Times Mirror that the delay is allegedly due to political indecision over who should inaugurate the bridge. Despite barricades at both ends, people including parents carrying children on two-wheelers are bypassing obstacles and riding through the footpath, risking their lives every day. Residents say the bridge is ready in every aspect and urge authorities to open it immediately before a preventable tragedy occurs.
