The 1997 Consensus of IT Agreement is over. US is now directly hitting Indian SaaS Model & the remittances that fuelled India’s trade surpluses with United States. From H-1B to this is nothing but a war on Indian Economy. Anyone who still sells you Indo-US Strategic Partnership is nothing but a dope.
1. What's wrong with the Giva ad?
Nothing you see on TV/advertisement or/big screen, especially in big budget projects, is innocent or accidental
The Giva ad continues a broader trend in how film-entertainment and ad industries have treated cultural sensitivities of the two majority communities very differently for years - something Gems of Bollywood has exposed so clearly
Look at the way popular culture has marketed Hindu festivals for years. For instance, check any compilation for suggestions for Diwali playlist:
“Abhi Toh Party Shuru Hui Hai”
“Let’s Nacho”
“Tamma Tamma Again”
But typical suggestions for Eid playlist:
“Noor-e-Khuda”
“Maula Ali”
“Kun Faya Kun”
Typical media suggestions for Diwali outfit ideas these days: sexualised styling - cleavage, revealing blouses, familiar Bollywood glamour
Typical outfit suggestions for Eid: Rich and covered
This means that they know what cultural sensitivity looks like, what a family gathering looks like, what sanctity of a festival looks like
But they apply it only where they want
The test of their intention is simple. Look at the image attached. Imagine her holding a plate for Iftari and the text saying Eid. Will any brand ever run such an ad?
2. Are these ads really made to increase sales during Rakhi?
The primary purpose of such an advertisement is not to sell jewellery for Rakhi. Conduct a market survey. Show consumers the ad and ask them whether the imagery is prompting them to buy Giva jewellery on Rakhi for their sisters. I doubt the answer would be overwhelmingly yes
Modern advertising works at a deeper level than simply saying buy this product. It is often aimed at shaping long-term attitudes
When the same kind of imagery is repeatedly used around certain festivals, weddings and family occasions, it leads to normalisation of a particular culture
Much of it seems to be aimed at creating a society where every aspect of a woman's life is sexualised. I would say it is the same mindset that wants to legalise adult men having sex with schoolgirls
3. How should the public respond?
Stop treating these celebrities as icons and withdraw your interest from them
The same actress as in the ad did Thumkeshwari item number and then pretended to be Ma Sita on screen - until we vehemently opposed it, ran a campaign, people responded and the movie bombed
Reject them from every aspect of your life where you have a choice
Those who have sold their souls, or have an IQ lower than room temperature, will expect that talented individuals with great vision will receive these technologies, innovate, and deliver advanced missile systems for India.
But no.
These technologies will be handed over to the companies of crony capitalists who are already in bed with Western capitalists.
India has had loads of bad luck thrown its way in the last 79 years. But nothing beats what it has had to endure because of Rajiv Gandhi's marriage. It seems like we will pay for that misstep till eternity.
Gadbadkari at one point was pushing BS7 norms that were direct copies of Euro 7, which hadn’t even been fully formulated in Europe itself and which European carmakers were opposing. The man has been nothing but a curse on the Indian auto industry.
BJP-RSS deserves all the thrashing they get, even if it's dishonest & full of lies.
Because when you refuse to invest in the intellectual acumen of the movement, constantly seek validation of the enemies but co-opting their language, constantly back down on pressing issues & refuse to stand for your own supporters.
You deserve what u get.

तुम्ही कुठे गेला आहात ? तुमची खूप आठवण येत आहे. 😢
तुम्हाला विद्यार्थ्यांची खूप काळजी आहे हे जसे तुम्ही जंतर मंतर वर झालेल्या आंदोलनाबद्दल बोलला होता तसेच झारखंड मधील विद्यार्थ्यांवर झालेल्या लाठी हल्ल्याचा पण निषेध करा. उशिरा केला तरी तुम्हाला कोणी काही बोलणार नाही.
लवकर Social Media वर या आणि निषेध करा. किमान अंशी त्यांच्यासाठी एखादी कविता , एखादा फिल्मी डायलॉग तरी म्हणा. ते विद्यार्थी आणि महाराष्ट्रातील जनता तुमच्या प्रतिक्रियेची वाट पाहत आहे.
समीर कुलकर्णी
सूचना : ह्या वेळेस मात्र तुम्ही दिलेल्या प्रतिक्रियेचे पैसे मिळणार नाहीत पण तुमची संवेदना विद्यार्थ्यांना नक्की कळवू.

@malhotra_namit you NEED to push Ramayana aggressively in South East Asia and even East Asia.
A lot of these areas were once Hindu and Hindu culture had left a deep impact in this area which is felt right up until now
Its as if these people were literally waiting for a top notch Indian film on Hindu Epics to release, just see their reactions, they also feel deep connection to the story line
Please talk to film influencers, critics, actors etc from SEA region and advertise the movie there.
Talk to Indian embassies in the region and ask them to premiere this movie for select few regional elites.
You cannot underestimate the respect Ramayana commands here
Sam Dalrymple is upset that "..the world of Hyderabad state has been so thoroughly erased from popular imagination that its difficult to imagine the Indian state of Telangana being considered the epicentre of the Islamic world.."
Why should I keep that memory and celebrate it by recollecting it every now and then bro?
What is the upside in this for me as a Hindu?
In the same article he says..
"In time, Hyderabad came to be regarded as ‘the most prominent Muslim city outside of the Holy Land’, its name uttered in the same breath as Mecca and Jerusalem"
Why should I cheer for this as a Hindu? I have no positive association with Mecca or Jerusalem.
All this while chinna Dalrymple gaaru is simping for a book ('Indian Caliphate' written by some Imran Mulla) in flowery prose.
He concludes by saying..
"Indian Caliphate re-establishes India’s place at the centre of global Islam in the interwar years, when the poet Muhammad Iqbal described India as “the greatest Muslim country in the world.”
(For the uninitiated - Yes the same 'Saare Jahan Se Accha' guy).
Why should I get all sentimental about all this as a Hindu?
I understand there are uber secular Hindus who love reading such and express joy on the glorious days of syncreticism and diversity and the warmth of being under the rule of a benevolent Indian Caliphate (or Mughals for that matter!)
Am not among those Hindus.
So kindly excuse. Not interested in this gloating over these so called cultural memories.
Also what an abomination to start the article with Kailasanatha temple in Ellora and wonder why visitors don't go to burial place of the last Caliph of Islam which is closeby.
Isn't it self explanatory?
Yes, I visited the Kailasanatha temple more than once. Never went to this burial place. Not going there next time as well. Even if I do am not going to feel super awesome about that visit.
Thanks, but no thanks!
Crazy minds.
But I know there are enough Hindus who simp for such content. So there is a market for this teary eyed trash.

खंडाळा घाटात केमिकल टँकर उलटल्यानंतर मिसिंग लिंकवर अवजड वाहनांना बंदी घालण्याची माझी लेखी मागणी मुख्यमंत्र्यांनी मान्य केली होती. मग तरीही हा टेम्पो मिसिंग लिंकवर आलाच कसा?
या अपघातासाठी टेम्पो चालकासोबतच त्याला तिथे प्रवेश देणारा पोलीस कर्मचारीही तितकाच जबाबदार असून, दोघांवर सदोष मनुष्यवधाचा गुन्हा दाखल करावा. तसेच, भविष्यात असे अपघात रोखण्यासाठी मिसिंग लिंकच्या दोन्ही प्रवेशद्वारांवर तात्काळ 'हाइट बॅरियर्स' बसवावेत!

CapitalMind had written an amazing article long back on benefits to the Gov't for keeping UPI free. The subsidies barely cost anything compared to the massive increase in white economy and tax base. No sensible patriotic Gov't would charge for UPI transactions.
The only reason why Gov't is now contemplating to charge UPI, is to benefit US companies - Google and Walmart who process almost all UPI transactions. Bc kitna surrender karege.
As a child I still couldn’t wrap my head around this scene. He caught her with the web right? So why did she still die?
I watched a shit ton of capeshit and the heroes caught civilians like this all the time so it made no sense to me.
Then I grew up and realized, they just hate this nigga
You all remember that X (then Twitter CEO) Jack Dorsey was summoned by Parliamentary committee, he never showed up. Twitter before beigh brought by Elon was censoring non-left voices, govt paid no heed.
Netflix show named "IC-814" landed in controversy, Govt let them go off scot free with a mere "disclaimer".
We all know how Big Tech promoted anti-BJP content in runup to 2024 elections, no action.
Now Meta is again got scot free because govt thinks such optics really works, “look he gave an apology”. What punitive actions were taken? Why was deterrence not set.
it seems likely chairman xi will end with a bigger aura than deng + mao combined. all his big +ve's are things our M ji could not push
> disciplined the billionaire class
> deflated gaokao coaching industry
> deflated housing bubble, helps young families raise kids, save more

🚨 ब्रेकिंग | सोयाबीन तेलातून अनालॉग पनीर व तूप तयार केल्याचा प्रताप नडला; छत्रपती संभाजीनगरात अन्न व औषध प्रशासनाची मोठी कारवाई
अन्न व औषध प्रशासनाने छत्रपती संभाजीनगरातील एमआयडीसी चिकलठाणा परिसरातील मेसर्स अमोल दूध डेअरी या दुग्धजन्य उत्पादन युनिटवर छापा टाकून मोठ्या प्रमाणात साहित्य जप्त केले आहे. ३१ जुलैपासून राज्य सरकारने वर्षभरासाठी अनालॉग पनीरवर बंदी जाहीर केली आहे. या आदेशानंतर ही झालेली कारवाई महत्त्वाची मानली जात आहे.
कारवाईदरम्यान १० ते १२ नॉन-फूड ग्रेड सोयाबीन तेलाचे बॅरल आढळून आले. प्राथमिक तपासात या तेलाचा वापर अनालॉग पनीर तसेच तूप तयार करण्यासाठी केला जात असल्याचे समोर आले असून, सोयाबीन तेलाचा साठा जप्त करण्यात आला आहे.
याशिवाय, भेसळयुक्त गाईचे तूप, तूप निर्मितीसाठी वापरण्यात येणारे क्रीम तसेच पनीरचा साठाही जप्त करण्यात आला आहे. या कारवाईत डेअरी उत्पादन युनिटमधून ₹३,१२,३८० (तीन लाख १२ हजार ३८० रुपये) किमतीचे दूग्धजन्य पदार्थ आणि खाद्यतेल जप्त करण्यात आले असून, प्रकरणाचा पुढील तपास सुरू आहे.
महाराष्ट्र शासनाच्या ३० जुलै २०२६ रोजीच्या राजपत्रानुसार, अनुरूप/दूग्धेतर (अनालॉग) पनीरचे उत्पादन, प्रक्रिया, साठवण, वाहतूक, वितरण आणि विक्रीवर राज्यभर एक वर्षासाठी बंदी घालण्यात आली आहे. राजपत्रात अशा उत्पादनाला पोषणदृष्ट्या लाभदायक नसल्याचे नमूद करण्यात आले असून, ते अस्सल पनीर म्हणून विकले गेल्यास ग्राहकांची दिशाभूल होण्याची आणि सार्वजनिक आरोग्याला धोका निर्माण होण्याची शक्यता व्यक्त करण्यात आली आहे.
