#OPINION | It is a matter of utter shame that persons are being detained without trial in independent India, even in the absence of any war, for periods longer than in colonial India during wars, writes Prabhat Patnaik

Are we becoming a dumping ground for cheap electronics?
Something we learnt the hard way these past few months.
Customers started returning our UPS units, saying backup wasn't enough. We pulled every returned unit, charged it, loaded it up, and ran it down. Full backup, every single time. On our bench, nothing was wrong.
This went on for almost 3 months. Honestly, a wild goose chase. We suspected our design, our battery batches, everything except the actual problem.
The actual problem: The humble 12V 2A adapter powering the router. After about a year of use, even at a small 1A load, these adapters don't give 12V anymore. We measured 10.4V on some.
Our UPS sees 10.4V and thinks the power has gone. And switches to battery. Sits on battery the whole day while mains is perfectly fine. So when a real power cut comes, there's nothing left. Customer is right no backup. But the UPS was never the problem.
We thought fine, let's just source good adapters for our customers. Turns out most "Made in India" adapters are SKD kits — the cheapest possible design imported from China, assembled here. Nobody checks whether it still holds voltage after a year, because nobody's testing it after the return window closes.
So here we are, building our own 12V 2A adapter now. Yes, with Chinese components; that's just the reality of electronics today. But the design is ours. Stable voltage for years, low ripple, proper protections. Boring stuff nobody prints on the box.
A 200 rupee part quietly killing the devices around it, and the device maker takes the blame. And this isn't just our story; it's happening across categories.
We badly need stricter standards on what gets imported and assembled here. Otherwise we're just the last stop for the world's worst designs.
If you build hardware in India, I am sure most of you would have faced this too.

This is 2012 Press Conference addressed by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh
Absolute COURAGE 🗿
Journalist –– What will you say about the coal scam allegations against you?
Dr Manmohan Singh 🔥 –– I am not above laws and if CBI or anyone wants to ask me, i have nothing to hide at all
Just imagine, a Prime Minister giving answers to scam allegations against him. Accountability level : 100%
ये मोहम्मद इरफ़ान हैं, इन्हें औपचारिक शिक्षा नहीं मिली।
दिल्ली की एक झुग्गी बस्ती में रहते हैं, ये भी जंतर-मंतर पर हुए आंदोलन का हिस्सा थे लेकिन लोगों तक इनकी आवाज़ शायद पहुंच नहीं सकी,
लोकतंत्र पर इनकी बात एक बार ज़रूर सुनिए।
@KartiPC@NTA_Exams You should also shut down all the shopping malls since there might be a theft in one of them. And close the roads because I heard someone was speeding.

A theory has emerged on X
In 2009, the Indian share market hit a 20% upper circuit while global markets were melting down
That day, the CIA understood India would become the next superpower alongside China
They secretly launched a widespread systematic attack on the nation
Massive protests erupted across India over alleged corruption
Manmohan Singh abandoned economic reforms to calm media and public anger
GDP crashed from 10% to 5%, and the share market plunged due to instability
The CIA’s motive succeeded — India was thrown off the superpower track.

The best returns CIA got on its investment ever 🙌
He totally destroyed our Economy and made us completely dependent on USA.
This is typical modus operandi of CIA, destroy Economy of countries through war and other means and install their puppets.
ACYPL funded all of Modi's 1990s World tours which is directly linked to U.S. Department of State.
CIA has a history of grooming local leaders and then install their puppets in those countries.

After making so many policy blunders, rupees depreciation and not caring about FII exit, it's so nice of Finance minister to say she is open for public feedback and suggestions.
You never needed any public suggestion, it's your arrogance that has put economy in such a big mess. There is no rocket science in knowing that FII would anyday invest in safe US economy at 5% yields because to beat that 5% they've to earn atleast 12-15% in India if you consider rupees depreciation and tax.
