META removed Modi’s post for just 5 minutes, and the government summoned MeitY officials the very next day.
The people of Manipur and NEET students kept calling on Modi to meet them, but he never did.
Priorities
WE ARE DOOMED AS A NATION.
One of the rarest things which happened good in this country was UPI.
Each and every citizen paying was happy as its very convenient to do digital payments and you don't need to keep any cash.
But now even government hated this.
Now government is planning to reintroduce
MDR ON UPI TRANSACTIONS ABOVE ₹2,000 FOR LARGE MERCHANTS.
Boss you distribute freebies for your own benefit, corruption at peak but you want to loot public's pocket by taxing them in whatever way you can.
Government's job is not to increase revenues by collecting taxes, you are there to do welfare of the people.
Shitty policies and ease of living becomes much harder.
We are literally doomed as a nation.
Everyone is talking about the 39 medals.
But the real story of these Games is much better than just the medals. Let me explain.
First, these Commonwealth Games was much smaller than the last one. Only 10 sports. Last time there were 19.
And look at which sports were removed.
Wrestling. Badminton. Shooting. Table tennis. Hockey. Cricket.
These are the sports India wins in every single time. Out of our 61 medals last time, 30 came from these sports.
So think about it like this.
In the sports that were played both times, we won 31 medals last time. This time we won 39 in those same sports.
We got better in every sport we played. The total looks smaller only because so many of our sports were not there at all.
Now, first let's talk about the good stuff.
Our boxers were unbelievable. 10 medals. 7 golds.
No country in the history of the Commonwealth Games had ever won 7 boxing golds at one Games.
India just did.
And 5 of those 7 champions are women.
Preeti Pawar. Jaismine Lamboria. Sakshi Chaudhary. Priya Ghanghas. Arundhati Choudhary. Plus Sachin Siwach and Ankush Panghal.
Actually, out of India's 13 golds, 8 were won by women. Our daughters won so much at these Games for us.
Mirabai Chanu won gold again. Third Commonwealth Games in a row. Only one Indian had ever done that before her.
She had a serious back injury. She won anyway. :)
Gulveer Singh is a soldier who grew up running on village roads in Aligarh. He became the first Indian ever to win a medal in the men's 10,000m race. Then he won one more in the 5000m.
In long distance running. Where India never wins.
Our para athletes won 7 medals. That equals everything they had won in all the previous Games put together. Their best performance ever.
Dilip Gavit, who lost his arm as a child, set a Games record in his 100m race.
Even judo gave us 2 golds. Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh.
Be honest, did you even know we had judo players this good?
Now the sad parts. There were a few, unfortunately.
Neeraj Chopra got a silver only. A thrower from Sri Lanka threw 89.75m and won it.
Neeraj is coming back from an injury and said himself that he is not at full strength yet. The good news was Yash Vir Singh winning bronze right behind him.
Our weightlifters won 8 medals. But 6 of them were silver. Six times we were just one good lift away from gold. Six times it did not come. That one hurts.
And in athletics, our runners and jumpers won 10 medals but no gold. Everyone finished second or third. Nobody finished first.
Now, for years people have said the same thing about India. That we only win medals because of shooting and wrestling. Remove those, and we are nothing.
Well. This time someone actually removed them. All of them. Every sport we depend on was taken out.
And we still finished 4th in the world.
The sports that were supposed to be our weak ones carried us. Boxing. Judo. Para athletics. Long distance running.
People said we win only because of easy sports. The easy sports were removed. We won anyway. :)
i’m very confused as to why bts not submitting to the grammys this year is causing such an issue. because if bts weren’t ’bigger than the program’ like some of you claim…. what’s the problem?
calling a group of POCs “cry babies” saying they’re “throwing tantrums” and villainising them for wanting adequate representation is very icky to me. kpop stans continue to sound like racist white people
