Unprecedented kleptocracy.

[Akshat Shrivastava @Akshat_World]

Indian policy makers are NOT investors. They don't care if foreign investors stay or leave.

Very similar to: they don't care if Foreign Tourists visit India.

All they care about are headline numbers: as long as there are -

- enough domestic tourists going around;
- enough investors in the market;
- enough stt/gst/stamp duty collection;

They are cool.

To achieve this:-

Government need not make any positive changes to bring foreign investors.

All they need to do is: make investing abroad difficult, so that domestic investors don't leave.

[Nithin Kamath @Nithin0dha]

Asked someone from the industry whether foreign investors are still interested in allocating to India. The TLDR:

Interest has pretty much died out. India is seen as geopolitically exposed, especially to an oil shock. There are no real AI plays. Valuations are rich. And the rupee situation doesn't help.

On top of that, investors who were sitting on gains have taken money off the table and are now looking at markets like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Europe etc instead.

He also pointed out that our LTCG/STCG structure and the increase in STT have made India less attractive compared to other markets that are seeing inflows.

If we need to attract FPIs back, and we do, fixing this feels like pretty low-hanging fruit.

Yesterday, my account was hacked for a while and strangely, my most viral tweet was deleted. So here it is, updated for 2025 for science and health-illiterates.

To summarize:

1. One whole egg with yolk a day does not increase blood cholesterol

2. Green tea does not help you lose weight

3. Jaggery, honey or sugarcane are not healthier than white sugar

4. There is no "healthy alcohol"

5. Ashwagandha does not reduce stress or help you sleep

6. Shilajit is a resinous piece of rock that does not benefit male sexual health

7. Turmeric in milk does not get beneficially absorbed in body and is lost in stool

8. You can consume fruits anytime during day or night

9. Sugarless black coffee at least 3 cups is good for fatty liver disease

10. Apple cider vinegar is good for only trapping fruit flies

11. Eight glasses of water a day is a myth

12. Pure whey protein supplementation to target recommended higher protein intake is safe for liver and kidneys

13. Magnesium supplements don't help you sleep

14. Anti-ageing is a myth

15. Herbalife products are the most common cause of liver injuries globally in the context of herbal and dietary supplements induced liver damage

16. Just because you lost weight by whatever means does not make you a "health coach."

17. Consumption of dairy along with fruits is perfectly fine

18. Yoga does not help you lose weight

19. Multivitamin a day does not improve health or prevent diseases in general. It can however, increase the risk of multiple cancers

20. Biotin does not help in hair growth or increase length of hair

21. Here are some liver supplements that you are wasting time and money on - Milk thistle, TUDCA and S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe)

22. The liver detoxes you, you don't detox the liver

23. Do not insult the kidneys by drinking yours or others urine, thinking urine therapy is going to help you live longer

24. Your favourite celebrity is always wrong about healthcare. Do not take medical advice from a pretty looking heroine or macho looking hero.

25. Virat Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo do not drink Herbalife shakes. They just pose with it, for money

26. BluePrint is Bryan Johnson's online supplements scam

27. Covid vaccines ended the pandemic

28. Ayurveda is a pseudoscience. So is Homeopathy, Siddha, Unani, Naturopathy, Reiki, and Acupuncture.

29. Homeopathy is mostly alcohol, sometimes sugar. Other times cockroach parts.

30. You personal experience is not scientific evidence.

@MilaLovesJoe You are completely making things up. I am not even worth $1 million. Or a half million. I am one of the lowest net worth members of Congress, trade no individual stock, and take no outside income. These filings are public. I loathe corruption, and your lying is reprehensible.

We all know excess sugar is harmful, but there is one ingredient which Indians consume daily which is even worse than sugar!
.
.
.
Maltodextrin.

The glycemic Index (GI) for table sugar is 65 whereas maltodextrin is 110. The glycemic index (GI) measures how fast a particular food/drink spikes your blood sugar. So the higher the glycemic index, the bigger the blood sugar spike.

The more shocking part is that maltodextrin isn’t technically counted as “added sugar” according to FSSAI. Many Indian packaged foods take advantage of this and claim to be “no added sugar” but they have maltodextrin in it.

In fact, even baby products like Nestle Cerelac have maltodextrin.

Maltodextrin is present in many ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and a diet high in ultra-processed foods is linked to weight-gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.

In this video, I have highlighted some products that have maltodextrin and how to avoid these products!

This government is completely clueless and useless. Different GST rates for different popcorn flavours. Most important thing for the country.

They are yet to remove GST on term and medical insurance, despite demand from public for a long time.

if you strap a rocket to a dumpster, the dumpster can still get to orbit, and the trash fire will go out as it leaves the atmosphere.

many important insights contained in that observation.

but also it's better to launch nice satellites instead.

If the American people strongly support a progressive economic agenda, why hasn't it been implemented?

The answer is simple: Money.

We need to move to the public funding of elections, and end the practice of billionaires controlling our political process.

LTCG to Loot Middle Class | How will removing indexation in calculating LTCG tax affect everyone?

Today, FM @nsitharaman reduced Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) Tax on properties to 12.5%, but cleverly removed indexation, which adjusts the property price at the time of sale, to account for inflation. How does this impact us? Let's break it down with simple math.

Suppose you bought an apartment in January 2009 for ₹50 lakhs. Fifteen years later, you sold it today for ₹1.5 crore. With indexation, the ₹50 lakhs you paid 15 years ago is considered to be worth ₹1.32 crore today. So, the net profit or capital gain is only ₹17.5 lakhs, and you'd pay only ₹3.5 lakhs as Capital Gains Tax at the rate of 20%.

But without indexation, your capital gain now is ₹1 crore, and at 12.5%, you'd end up paying ₹12.5 lakhs in tax. Essentially, the government takes ₹9 lakhs more than the old method.

Your net profit after buying a property and holding it for 15 years is just ₹5,01,825. You might have paid much much more in loan interest alone. Was it really worth it? Do you call this cleverness or crookedness? #Budget (1/3)
