But, but, but Sir, there are Indians who believe in Aman ki Asha and want to talk to you. They curse those Indians who tell them how exactly you think of Hindu Majority India, but, but, but Sir, they mock such Indians and tell them they are incorrect in their understanding of the issue.

For Washington, an ideal India would be one that: leases military bases to the US, purchases-35s, offers near unlimited military interoperability, rapidly retires Russian equipment, operates on GPS, refuses to build its own LLMs, spends next to nothing on indigenous R&D, buys American oil and LNG, cedes large parts of the North East to a sovereign Kuki-Zo state, restores Article 370, encourages immigration of Bangladeshis into the country, and allows unfettered access to foreign missionary groups. Wonder how many points on this list have been mentioned by the podcast guest.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.

May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?

Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?

In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?

The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.

It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.

Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.

Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?

India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

Terrible experience of trying to start business in Kolkata during TMC rule -
Written by Kanchan Sarkar 👇

“I am sharing an incident involving TMC and the life risks that I faced.

Perhaps I can write this today only because TMC has lost; otherwise, after writing this, they might have finished me off as well.

First, let me say a little about myself. I studied at IIT. After IIT, I spent most of my life abroad. Currently, I live in the Bay Area (Silicon Valley) in America. Professionally, I am an AI researcher/scientist. I have filed several patents, and I have multiple papers and publications in top international conferences and journals. I work in research at an MNC in America, and currently hold a Senior Manager position; many PhD researchers work under me.

Now coming to the main incident. As an Indian and a Bengali, I always dreamed of doing something for my country and for West Bengal. With that dream, I decided to establish an AI robotics and manufacturing company in Kolkata. It would create jobs in Bengal, and the youth of Bengal would get opportunities to work within Bengal itself.

I spoke with some investors in America. They really liked my plan and agreed to invest. Some investment discussions also progressed through IIT connections.

Accordingly, I finalized a piece of land beside Infosys in Rajarhat Newtown, Kolkata, to set up the manufacturing unit. Initially, I purchased a small plot, with plans to expand on a much larger scale once investments came in.

The land was purchased from a Muslim owner named Abul Molla. He committed extensive fraud. He took payment for a much larger amount of land but ultimately registered far less land. Even then, all legal formalities, such as, registration, mutation/records, conversion, tax payment, were completed lawfully.

After some time, problems began.

The land mafia of Rajarhat and Bhangar, people associated with TMC’s Saokat Molla, fenced off the side of the land, blocked access by building walls, prevented me from entering my own property, and began demanding huge sums of money. I tried many times to resolve the issue. Investors from America kept pressuring me, asking when work would begin.

I personally met Abhishek Banerjee at his residence. I also spoke with several other leaders, such as Debraj Chakraborty, husband of former Rajarhat MLA Aditi Munshi, and Saokat Molla of Bhangar. I filed reports at the police station. But nobody helped. Informally, everyone only demanded money. From the top to the bottom of TMC, everyone kept asking for money. The police also offered no help. At the police station, I was told to sit with those blocking access to the land and “settle” the matter by paying them. I appointed a lawyer to file a case. But even the lawyer became frightened. I received threats that if I filed a case, I would be murdered. In this situation, I was forced to abandon everything.

I truly could not imagine that West Bengal had come to this state. Whenever investors asked me, I would avoid the truth by making excuses. I felt ashamed to speak about the condition of my own Bengal. As a Bengali, I am genuinely ashamed. This corrupt TMC party has destroyed Bengal. Everyone says IITians leave the country and do nothing for it. I tried, but I could not succeed. Perhaps there are many more Bengalis like me who wanted to do something, but could not because of the political goons in West Bengal. IITians are assets to the nation. But if the country does not provide a suitable environment, what can they do? They will go abroad, stay there, and prosper there instead.

I promise that if I get my land back, I will start full-fledged operations there within one year. And if I cannot do anything, then my life will continue as it is now. I will forget everything and start my startup/company in America itself.

I have great hopes from the new BJP government , that it will free Bengal from this corruption and terror and make it once again into a “Golden Bengal.”

It is not called 'rocking' but pitching.
Secondly it is not 'slapping' but slamming.
Thirdly the sea is not calm but there is a perceptible swell.

But thanks for ur concern 😉

> South Korea began building reserves in 1979.
> China began in 2004.
> India’s first strategic reserves were on paper in 2005, it became operational in 2018 after work started in 2014 under Modi.

So if PR was the only goal, he could easily go around saying that for 69 years India had no reserves, and after he came, it finally got done & now the next expansion phase is already underway..

There are frequent debates in India about what exactly forced the British to grant us Independence in 1947. It was a combination of factors that included a war-weary Britain, and the long-running political mobilisation in India. However, the fear of guerrilla warfare by the revolutionaries, and the possibility of a revolt in the Indian armed forces (esp after INA & Naval revolt) played a major role. We do not need to debate this because Prime Minister Attlee has explicitly noted this in the Transfer of Power papers (Nov 1946). Just look up Vol 9, doc 35, page 68 (199 in the pdf):

2) Akbar had a law that unveiled women found in public if caught shall have to live life of a prostutite.

3) People, Jagat Seth and Mir Jafar sided with British against Siraj because he was a sadist, tyrant abs pervert who was known for persecuting Hindus. He had his bad eyes even on Jagat Seth’s daughter.

@ShivrattanDhil1 @SinghaniaGautam Ask GS where were the life jackets. Its a private speedboat of GS. The other missing crew is an Arjuna award winner, far more an achiever than Hari Singh. GS has got back to mumbai leaving the injured others in Male. A poor leader indeed.

Actually those pics are part of a friend’s father album….. he too was posted in Kashmir then and per my friend, it was this conference that led to blowing the cover of all intel officers. Fact that a man like Dulat could rise up the ladder and become chief is actually a blot on the system. Good that 2014 happened and Indian state is not weak anymore as it used to be when men like Dulats and Rabinder Singhs used to exist…..

"Ambedkar had a strong lust for POWER"
#HistoryFacts #Ambedkar #IndianHistory #HiddenTruths

The fake propaganda being done by Ambedkarites is...
They propagate that Ambedkar was a great idealist who resigned from his Law Minister post because the Congress did not approve the Hindu Code Bill.
Is this really true.?
Let us carefully examine history for once.!
When did Ambedkar become the Law Minister.?
After India gained independence. This is known to everyone. It is also known to everyone that before becoming a Minister, he was the Chairman of the Drafting Committee in the Constituent Assembly.

Ambedkar, who assumed the Law Minister post on August 15, 1947, and resigned on September 27, 1951. This is also known to everyone.
The Hindu Code Bill was introduced on April 11, 1947 (in the Constituent Assembly) and again in November 1947. Why did Ambedkar not resign from his ministerial post for about 4 years and 5 months when the Hindu Code Bill was not approved.?
Why did Ambedkar resign on September 27, 1951.? Why did he resign now, when he had not resigned for the previous 4.5 years.?
This point must be observed carefully.

As the term of the current government was ending, elections for the new government started on October 25, 1951, and ended on February 21, 1952.
Ambedkar's resignation date: September 27, 1951.
Election start date for the new government: October 25, 1951.
The difference between these two dates is only 28 days...
Oh... do you understand Ambedkar's drama.?

Is it a drama played by Ambedkar—enjoying the ministerial post for 4 years and 5 months and, then staging a drama of sacrificing his post for the Hindu Code Bill just to win the elections that were to be held a month later, emotionally cheating the public to get re-elected.?
Can you prove what I said is wrong.?

The people at that time noticed Ambedkar's deception, and in the 1951-1952 elections, the Dalit people defeated Ambedkar outright. When the defeated Ambedkar was sitting at home, the then Congress called him again and offered him the post of Rajya Sabha member, which Ambedkar accepted. He remained in that post until his death in 1956.

My questions here are:
1). Ambedkar, who resigned because the Congress did not approve the Hindu Code Bill, why did he accept the position offered by the same Congress in the new government.?
2). While Ambedkar was a Rajya Sabha member, he did not specifically demand the introduction or approval of the Hindu Code Bill. Why.?
3). Isn't this called a 'Lust for Power.'?
4). It is clearly understood that Ambedkar had a lust for power only, not a lust for the people.
Do you disagree.?

I am asking because I don't understand, why was the Hindu Code Bill only for the rights of Hindu women.? Couldn't he have written "Indian Women's Code Bill" for the rights of every woman in India, regardless of caste or religion, and fought for that.? Does that mean Ambedkar thought foolishly.? Perhaps it is our mistake to expect more knowledge than this from a person who just passed in the third class (third division).?

Not only that, while all the people of the country were fighting for independence, He was opposing the freedom struggle and supporting the British, holding the positions of Member of the Bombay Legislative Assembly (1937–1942) and Labor Member in the Governor General's Executive Council (1942–1946).

Now tell me...
Was it a sacrifice by Ambedkar.? or
did he betray the people of the country.?
Please give your decision in the form of a comment.
Cross-check every fact I have stated.

DONT FORGET TO SHARE...

Proud to be a Hindu Dalit

Story of De La Rue
How Congress govt helped Pakistan to counterfeit Indian currency

In 2006, P Chidamabaram was Finance Minister, Arvind Mayaram was Joint Secretory, Ashok Chawla was additional secretory

They formed a company called Security Printing & Minting Corp of India (SPMCIL) and started buying security printing paper (SPP) of Indian currency from a British firm De La Rue, a British company that specializes in the printing of banknotes for central banks around the world

They were well aware that Pakistan was also buying SPP from the same firm. It helped Pakistan to counterfeit Indian currency easily and Pakistan flooded the Indian market with counterfeit currency

When Pranav Mukherjee became FM in 2010 he blacklisted this company but as Chidambaram again became FM in 2012 he again started buying from this company

Indian counterfeit currency helped Pakistan economy a lot and Pakistan made huge profit from it

When Modi became PM in 2014, he immediately stopped this and filed FIR against Arvind Mayaram

The demonetization in 2016 was brought only for this

Have you noticed after the demonetization Pakistan economy started to die, stone pelting stopped in Kashmir, bomb blast stopped in India
Search in google "de la rue and Chidambaram"

This incident has come back into discussion after the release of the movie Dhurandhar.
People are questioning whether it actually happened and the answer is yes.
The events shown in the film are based on real events
