Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to become India's longest-serving continuously elected prime minister on June 10, surpassing Jawaharlal Nehru's record.
Those demanding that Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay meet the press should first make the demand of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
My consistent demand is that Vijay meet the Press the day after Modi meets the Press.
A Swiss hotel once displayed a list of special rules exclusively for Indian guests which I personally saw and was appalled.
Today, videos of garba in restaurants, loud conversations in airports, and turning aircraft cabins into picnic spots keep doing the rounds. Even in Davos, an Indian businessman blasted Punjabi music in a club so the whole town could hear it, calling it “soft power” but to everyone’s annoyance.
Japan earned global admiration through their courtesy and civic sense. If India wants to be a true global superpower, the world should remember Indians for its excellence, consideration and respect for others.
Our civic sense seriously needs to be upgraded.
@HDFC_Bank@HDFCBank_Cares Why do you run branches if I have to do everything using your apps which doesn’t work? Branch people are not even authorised to collect KYC documents? Insane.
Fourth petrol price in 2 weeks. SLOW DRIP treatment. Inevitable to an extent given the uncertain situation in West Asia. But here is a Qs: Have any of our celebrities offered to cycle to work yet? Or were the fuel jokes reserved for Dr Manmohan Singh’s era ?🙏
Shocked by saravana stores @ss_superstore. Yesterday I bought a biscuit packet from the 2nd floor cabin selling chocolates and biscuits near the lift. After opening it today, they tasted unusual. Checked the pack and found it expired way back on 18/10/25.@fssaiindia@chennaicorp
India trains the engineer.
America files the patents.
Gurtej Sandhu was raised in Amritsar and trained at IIT Delhi.
He now holds 1,299 US patents at Micron, Edison topped out at 1,093.
Sandhu is the 7th most prolific inventor in American history.
His titanium nitride deposition work is why every DRAM cell in your phone and every GPU training a foundation model actually holds charge.
Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix own 95% of global DRAM.
None of them are Indian.
We export the inventor.
We import the chip.
We demand the resignation of India’s Education Minister over the NEET paper leak issue.
When students lose their future, hope, and even their lives, accountability cannot stay silent.
17 students lost to pressure, injustice & failure of the system deserve answers. 🇮🇳
#NEET
Zero debates on unemployment.
Zero debates on paper leaks.
Zero debates on inflation.
Zero debates on food safety.
Zero debates on the rising fuel crisis.
Zero debates on capital expenditure.
Zero debates on economic development.
Zero debates on R&D, science, and innovation.
Zero debates on education.
Zero debates on women safety
Zero debates on start up culture,
Zero debates on healthcare infrastructure.
And then look at these paid actors busy running government propaganda.
Aunty is angry that some unknown Norwegian girl who can never dream of her PM showing up at her son’s wedding suddenly fighting for Aunty’s right to ask her PM tough questions! Godi is angry. 😆
INDIA's ECONOMIC CRISIS
The Iran War pulled away the lid from a simmering economic crisis in India, forcing the PM to accept the crisis, though blaming it entirely on the Iran war's aftermath, which is wrong.
From 'sab changa si' to 'crisis of the decade'.
So, what crisis was simmering since 2016?
1) Demonetisation 2016 killed a large per cent of MSMEs that employed millions
2) Hasty patchy GST rollout 2017 destroyed MSMEs even more, concentrating power in large enterprises
3) Corporate tax cuts 2019 added massive profits to large enterprise balance sheets, and they didn't invest more, but discharged debts and bought back shares
4) Covid 2020-21 birthed a huge K-shape recovery in Indian economy and society, widening the haves vs. have-nots gap to colonial levels
5) Lack of employment intensive manufacturing 2014-2026 (but pushing subsidy and capital-intensive PLIS) didn't generate the crores of formal jobs desperately needed
6) India failed to build its AI play completely (2015-2026), with large IT firms focused on comfortable Dhandho outsourcing instead, and now facing a massive restructuring due to AI
7) R&D by private sector remained pathetically low, leading to poor innovation and productization
8) Imports from China rose and rose, leading to a $100 billion merchandise trade deficit annually
9) Foreign investors slowly lost interest in the Indian Story, pulling out their FPI moneys and not bringing in FDI money (thereby now created a BoP crisis) (the arrogance of FM didn't help at all)
10) Real wages did not grow across sectors to match the real lived inflation reality, leading to many social pressures on quality of life.
11) India's own crude oil production dropped significantly from 2015-2025, and import dependence kept rising steadily.
The Iran War blew the lid off of this simmering basket of troubles. Blaming everything on the 70-day old war won't be technically or morally or factually sound at all.
Time to make amends on a war footing, instead of speaking vaguely and spreading more concern back home.
