THIS 18-YEAR-OLD DID NOT BLINK 🔥

RAJDEEP: CBSE says TCS quoted around ₹951 crore, Coempt Edutech around ₹384 crore. Lowest bidder wins, so rules were followed.

SARTHAK 🎯: My question is not whether CBSE followed the rules. My question is why CBSE changed the rules.

RAJDEEP: People say you are batting for the opposition.

SARTHAK 🔥: In a democracy, opposition parties are pressure groups. If someone supports me, I am thankful. If someone ignores me, I do not care.

सुनो, राजेश एक्सपोर्ट के 15, लाख करोड़ फ़र्ज़ी एक्सपोर्ट की कहानी। सरकार और सेबी ने इतने बड़े घोटाले की इतने साल तक अनदेखी की और इनको बड़े बड़े कांट्रैक्ट देते रहे! इस कंपनी का मोदी सरकार से क्या रिश्ता था?

How could 15 Lakh Crores of fake exports be shown by a company for 12 years without being detected? Was this 15 L Crore laundered money coming from tax havens? Who was protecting this company? What are its connections to those in power? This photo may offer a clue!

Just thinking aloud. No claims made.

This is a Time Magazine Cover from 2011. I reposted @RahulSeeker's tweet yesterday.

I have not been able to stop thinking about this cover.

15 years ago, the world was watching two countries and genuinely could not decide which one would lead the future.

One of them does now. The other has spent the last decade and a half fighting over whose god is bigger.

I am writing this as a common citizen who grew up in this country, who continues to believe in what it is capable of, and who finds it genuinely dificult to explain the drastic economic downturn in these past years through poor governance alone.

India in 2011 was a country that had grown at consistently high rates for two decades, had a young demographic profile, and was positioned as a genuine superpower in the making.

We were leading the IT revolution at a time when the world had just figured out that technology was the new currency of power. An Indian spotted abroad was asked one common question: "Do you work in IT?"

It wasn't a stereotype so much as a signal. The world had noticed. It had clocked which direction we were moving in, and it had started to take us seriously. We weren't just a large country anymore. We were a country with momentum. And momentum, in geopolitics, is the most threatening thing of all.

And then there was the one thing that makes powerful nations genuinely nervous. India is an independent nuclear power. Not a dependent state. Not a country whose arsenal exists because someone else permitted it. Ours. On our terms. Answering to nobody.

A large, young, fast-growing, technologically ambitious, independently nuclear nation with a democratic mandate and a civilisational confidence. That is not a country you want going fully unchecked.

Putting on my tin foil hat, here is the thought I cannot entirely shake: that what has happened to India over the last many years is not simply the consequence of bad governance, corruption, or misfortune. (That of course, is a very real issue laughing in our faces every single day)

That some portion of it has been engineered, or at minimum exploited, by actors with a strategic interest in ensuring that India never becomes what it was projected to become.

There are powers that have done this before. They don't need to invade a country. They just need to find a wound in it and not let it heal - through tools of debt, dependency, tariffs, and narratives shaped by controlled media or manipulated social media algorithms. And then stay out of the way while it consumes itself.

"Just keep the wound open", as they say.

Mismanagement of a population's growth trajectory, and its basic needs which is this consistent and directional, feels almost scripted.

Let me also say - the fractures in Indian society are not new. Religious tension, caste hierarchy, linguistic division: these have existed for centuries. No government manufactured them from scratch.

A country whose population has been allowed to be preoccupied with questions of communal identity, whose minorities are economically anxious and politically marginalised, and whose civil society is increasingly reluctant to speak plainly, is a country whose productive capacity is diminished.

A nation fighting itself cannot look outward with coherence.

They couldn't tame the dragon. So they slowly fed the elephant poisoned food. Enough to keep it from breaking its own shackles. Enough for it to be grateful to be fed. The elephant didn't die. That was never the plan. A dead elephant attracts attention. It is still standing - tall above others, swaying, looking busy, occasionally making noise, hoping to get better, some day.

Someone needed only one new superpower to emerge. Not two. Someone did not want a second China.

And someone got exactly what they needed.

[Sincere Dibya @TheSincereDude]

Interesting timing.

RBI is suddenly considering polymer notes. But let’s look at who benefits.

▪️ Adani Enterprises set up Mundra Petrochem Ltd in 2021; a greenfield PVC & polymer plant at Mundra, Gujarat.

▪️ Polymer banknotes are made from BOPP (Bi-axially Oriented Polypropylene) films; exactly the polymer category Adani’s ₹34,900 Cr petchem cluster is built around.

▪️ India’s domestic polymer production capacity is woefully short (~1.59 MT vs 4 MT demand). Guess who just received environment clearances to fill that gap?

▪️ The same Modi govt that gave Adani airports, ports, roads, coal, solar & defence contracts; is now handing RBI a “cost-efficiency” pitch that happens to need BOPP polymer at industrial scale.

Demonetisation destroyed cash. Now they want to control how cash is made.

No open tender announced. No Parliamentary debate. Just two RBI board meetings, and a ready supply chain conveniently owned by a friend.

Ask yourself: why does every reform in India eventually route money to the same address?

This isn’t progress. It’s procurement.
