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.

BREAKING: According to our analysis, ~$920 million worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before an Axios report claimed the US and Iran were near a "14-point" deal to end the war.

At 3:40 AM ET today, nearly 10,000 contracts worth of crude oil shorts were taken without any major news.

This is equivalent to ~$920 million in notional value, an unusually large trade for 3:40 AM ET.

At 4:50 AM ET, just 70 minutes later, Axios reported that the US is "close" to a "memorandum of understanding" to end the Iran War.

By 7:00 AM ET, oil prices had fallen over -12% with these crude oil shorts gaining approximately +$125 million.

Minutes later, Iran launched the "Persian Gulf Strait Authority" and oil prices surged +8%.

What just happened?

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus.

India today from a Pakistani perspective.
Even BJP themselves in India couldn't have thought of such positive propaganda
EVERY INDIAN, IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATION,
MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO because it's from Pakistan, and think over it

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Jaipur Mansarovar last weekend as a family. We had 8 rooms booked.

On Monday evening (Jan 12, around 6:30–7:30 pm), two hotel staff members used a master key to enter one of our rooms (3808).

The room had already been cleaned.
No one had asked for housekeeping.
No one had been informed.

My 6-year-old niece walked in right after and found two unknown adults inside the room. She ran out crying.

They were not wearing name badges, so we couldn’t even identify who they were.
Just think about it, what if someone had been in the shower, changing clothes, or asleep?
What if personal belongings had gone missing? What if my niece had gone missing? What if my niece were alone in the room and sexually assaulted by these men?
How is it acceptable for anyone to walk into an occupied hotel room like this?

What made it worse is that the hotel knew our family was heading out for dinner at that time and that most of our rooms would be empty.

When we asked what happened, we were met with shrugs and vague answers about “protocol.” The people we were dealing with, Naveen Singh, security supervisor and Akshay, refused to tell us who the staff were or why they entered.

The hotel also refused to share CCTV footage of the incident.

Akshay told us that the General Manager, Naveen Yadav, had said, “toh kya ho gaya agar enter ho gaye.”
(So what if they entered?)

A child walked into a room with two unknown adults inside, and this was the response.

This is what pissed us off the most. Not just that it happened, but how casually everyone treated it. Like, this was no big deal.

We’re not living in some ideal world. We hear about child sexual abuse, child trafficking, assault, all the time. Parents are already anxious about where their kids are, who they’re around, and what spaces are actually safe.

Why were two staff members inside an occupied room?
What were they doing there?
Who sent them?
Under what rule can someone walk into a family’s private space without permission? Why was the hotel justifying it?

And till now -
no answers.
no explanation.
no CCTV.
no accountability.
no apology that means anything.

If you’re travelling with family, especially with kids, I would seriously think twice before staying at Hyatt.

@HDFCERGOGIC @tehseenp @ajeetbharti If it is true it is truly worrying.., I have been their client paying extra premium considering professional responses.,

The smart thing I did was using intermediary @joinditto which was recommended by @Nithin0dha .,
