The Indian salaried class has been methodically stripped of every single inflation hedge available to it, one budget at a time.
You tried crypto. They slapped a 30% flat tax on gains, allowed no set-off of losses, and added 1% TDS on transfers.
You tried equities. Budget 2024 raised STCG from 15% to 20%, raised LTCG from 10% to 12.5%, increased STT on F&O, and also killed indexation for most other long-term capital gains.
You thought fine, I’ll diversify some savings abroad through LRS. They put 20% TCS on remittances above 10 lakhs for investments abroad.
You tried Sovereign Gold Bonds, because surely a government-issued, government-backed gold hedge would be the one clean instrument they would not mess with. Then Budget 2026 came along and removed the capital gains exemption for secondary market buyers.
And now the final insult.
The Prime Minister has publicly asked you to avoid buying physical gold for a year in the “national interest,” because gold imports use foreign exchange.
So let me get this straight. A middle class wagie earning in depreciating rupees, watching FD rates hover around 6.5% while real life inflation keeps eating his purchasing power, has now been told:
Crypto is taxed like a vice.
Equities are more expensive to hold and exit.
Foreign diversification gets hit with TCS.
SGBs are being wound down and tax-narrowed.
Buying physical gold is now unpatriotic.
Basically, every single exit from rupee depreciation has been systematically curtailed. You are expected to hold your savings in instruments the government controls, at returns the government sets, for a currency the government is rapidly inflating away.
Does this sound like Amrit Kaal to you?
This guy thinks splitting the administration of Madiwala from Shivajinagar is the same as giving UP 140 seats😂

This is why California’s fraud is so massive:
Just look at their Medi-Cal budget vs Medi-Cal enrollment and population
In 2022 the budget was $108 B and this year it will be $222 B, for what?
Their population and enrollment hasn’t increased exponentially but their spending has more than doubled.
Prime example of fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars.
Watched Dharundhar. Need to dissect it.
Dhurandhar feels less like a film and more like a loyalty test.
Strip away the music, the slow-motion stares and the chest-thumping dialogue, and what remains is a familiar ideological project: manufacture a sense of civilisational humiliation, then present a strong-state fantasy as the cure.
The film’s emotional engine runs on a simple Hindutva trope, the myth of the 'weak Hindu.' Once that strawman is firmly planted, the rest of the narrative exists to rescue it. Shame is created first. Salvation is delivered later. The arc is less cinematic than political.
Where this becomes troubling is in how history gets rearranged to serve that arc.
Moments that should demand accountability are blurred into background noise. Institutional failure dissolves into mood lighting. The messiness of real events is trimmed until only the parts that flatter power remain. Responsibility doesn’t disappear, it quietly migrates away from those who held it.
And it always moves in the same direction: downward.
Passengers become cowards. Families become nuisances. Citizens become the problem that leaders must heroically endure. Authority, meanwhile, becomes the victim of public inadequacy. It’s a worldview that mirrors the core logic of Hindutva politics: the state is perpetually blameless, the public perpetually insufficient, without macho Hindutva.
The film’s most telling move is how it converts failure into inevitability. The repeated mantra that enemies “only have to succeed once” isn’t insight, it’s insulation. It shuts down inquiry before it can begin. Once every disaster is framed as destiny, no one in power ever has to answer uncomfortable questions.
Curiosity is replaced with fatalism. Accountability melts into atmosphere.
By the time the credits roll, outrage has been carefully curated. Instead of anger at systemic failure, you’re left with a soft glow of reassurance. Instead of difficult questions, you get motivational quotes and swelling music. Tragedy becomes therapy.
This is propaganda in its most refined polished form, not loud, not crude, but selective. Edits memory. Rearranges blame. Teaches the audience where not to look.
Bollywood has always flirted with nationalist mythmaking, but Dhurandhar feels fully embedded in the Hindutva storytelling machine. It doesn’t interrogate power; it sanctifies it. It doesn’t challenge the state; it comforts it.
The film calls itself patriotic.
What it really offers is ideological reassurance. A 'Me Tarzan, Me Tarzan ' fake reassurance. Enough to give the audience, multiple orgasms.
First headline in @timesofindia Chennai is @IndiaToday interview with @mkstalin where he ruled out power sharing with Cong. BUT as often is the case with India’s largest circulating newspaper , TOI doesn’t give credit: itni kanjoosi aur nainsaafi kyon? @TheHindu by contrast gives due credit: a tale of two newspapers! 😊
Listen to Madurai Somu sing “Enna Kavi Paadinalum.” The raw, unfiltered devotion in his voice is the kind of singing that would make God cry. It is soul-stirring and transcendent.
Do yourself a favor: sit still, listen patiently, and let it flow over your soul.

why not just raise income tax rates?
because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.
you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.
you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)
the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.
the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.
it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.
that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.
i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.
want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.
want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…
Today's @pravchak tweet is a best example to understand how @INCIndia is getting defeated in all the elections.
That party is full of self obsessed erstwhile zamindars and upper caste leaders who put their ego and pride before the party.
The party doesn't control anyone and you can do whatever you want and talk whatever you want.
You cannot win a BJP juggernaut with these kind of people, that's why the party loses everywhere and noone takes ownership.
DMK alliance in TN gave 40mps , congress cannot replicate this anywhere in India and only CPM DMK got the ideological background to fight the BJP RSS.
It’s not 1% a year for 5 years.
It’s a one time 5% tax on all assets and it will kill entrepreneurship in California.
Here is an example:
John Doe starts a company. He takes a nominal salary - say $150k for this example - and the rest in equity in the company. Let’s say he owns 20%. He raises VC capital in 2026 from someone that invests $100M into the company and values the company at $6B. This means his 20% is “worth” $1.2B.
I put it in quotes because he can’t actually sell. He has a paper value that putatively says he’s a billionaire. But he actually lives on $150k because that is what his income is. Just because someone decides to make a bet on the business does not mean some bank account in your name magically gets created with $1.2B in it.
Under the proposed tax, however, John Doe would now owe $60M in cash to California in 2027.
How will he pay it?
Is there some buyer you know of, that the rest of the market doesn’t, that will do a deal at the max value when there is a distressed seller like John Doe who needs money he doesn’t have to pay taxes on value he also doesn’t have!
Now imagine that after the tax is assessed, in early 2027, the company takes a write down to $200M. Now his share is $40M. But he still owes $60M. Again, there are no buyers for his shares per se.
He still only makes $150k/yr.
What is this person supposed to do? He now has a “worth” of $40M but owes California $60M.
Should he declare bankruptcy now because he tried to start a business but was retarded enough to do it in California?
So did you really get the billionaires??
No. Because the mega billionaires have already left or are tax structured to minimize the tax or will fight it.
You will, however, drag a bunch of young, energetic folks who want to make things and hire people into bankruptcy court.
Awesome work, Ro. You should be proud.
The reason why India will never achieve the high quality of public health that is enjoyed by people in scientifically progressive countries is because of village idiots like this boomer here.
He can't even fix his Chinese-style copy Arattai Messenger App but is looking to fix the public healthcare space with what he believes is "scientific information."
This is intentional. The posts are made to harm. This is disinformation. He is doing it purposefully.
The news of vaccinated girls fainting in Bihar is fake. It is a "cooked up" story which village idiots do not have the capacity to fact check. There is zero evidence to the claims in the story.
Bihar is one of the few states, along with Sikkim, that has started the HPV vaccination program, with a parliamentary panel in August 2025 urging a swift, nationwide expansion. The program is part of the state's "Mukhyamantri Balika Cancer Pratirakshan Yojana".
There have been reports of videos and social media posts circulating in October 2025 that spread false and misleading claims about the HPV vaccine, including that it is harmful, a "poison" for children, or causes infertility. It does not.
Many European countries are actively looking at eliminating cervical cancer through rational and aggressive HPV vaccination campaigns.
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in India. It is the leading cause of cancer mortality among women aged 30 to 69, accounting for 17% of all cancer deaths in this age group.
HPV vaccination programs will help us eliminate it in the near future.
But we are here, stuck with boomer IT Uncles trying to disrupt the public healthcare activities of doctors and scientists.
Do not for a moment belive what absolute health Illiterates with large following regurgitate from misifmormed sources.
Report this man's posts and account for harmful content and self harm.
இந்த நாட்டிலுள்ள அனைவருக்குமான மாண்புமிகு பிரதமர் பொறுப்பில் இருக்கிறோம் என்பதையே திரு. @narendramodi அவர்கள் அடிக்கடி மறந்து, இதுபோன்ற பேச்சுகளால் தன்னுடைய பொறுப்புக்குரிய மாண்பை இழந்துவிடக் கூடாது என்று ஒரு தமிழனாக வேதனையுடன் கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன்.
ஒடிசா - பீகார் என்று எங்கு சென்றாலும், பா.ஜ.க.,வினர் தமிழர்களின் மீதான வன்மத்தைத் தேர்தல் அரசியலுக்காக வெளிப்படுத்துவதற்குத் தமிழ்நாட்டு மக்களின் முதலமைச்சர் என்ற முறையில் கடுமையான கண்டனத்தைத் தெரிவித்துக் கொள்கிறேன்.
பன்முகத்தன்மை கொண்ட, வேற்றுமையில் ஒற்றுமையைக் காணும் பெருமைமிக்க இந்தியாவில், இந்துக்களுக்கும் முஸ்லீம்களுக்கும் பகையை வளர்ப்பது, தமிழர்களுக்கும் பீகார் மக்களுக்கும் பகை உண்டாக்கும்படி நடந்துகொள்வது போன்ற அற்ப அரசியல் செயல்பாடுகளை நிறுத்திவிட்டு, நாட்டின் நலன் மீது பிரதமரும் பா.ஜ.க.,வினரும் கவனம் செலுத்த வேண்டும் என வலியுறுத்துகிறேன்.
Have some ounce of understanding before sharing random garbage cooked up by some clueless content team.
Secondary Dropout Rate for 2024-25:
Bihar: 6.9
UP: 7
Gujarat: 16.9
Tamil Nadu: 8.5
Kerala: 4.8
Do you really think Bihar has lesser dropout? Do you really think they have better GER? That would be the stupidest take because dropout is just the count of students leaving while moving to the next year. In states like Bihar and UP most students do not even remain in the school system long enough, which automatically keeps the recorded dropout lower.
Here is the secondary dropout trend for Tamil Nadu:
2018-19: 13%
2019-20: 9.6%
2020-21: 6.4%
2021-22: 4.5%
2022-23: 10.3%
2023-24: 7.7%
2024-25: 8.5%
This is the actual trend. And when you look at GER for higher secondary it has increased steadily from 76.5% in 2020-21 to 83.4% in 2024-25.
Please stop embarrassing yourself with these dump takes. Learn to read data before you open your mouth.
For the public and patients, please do not stop vaccinating your children. You don't want polio to come back. You don't want measles to kill your child like it is doing in the US because boomer uncles in charge of US Health Departments have become anti science.
The conclusions of this study are not credible either. The "authors" who themselves are a bunch of antivaxxers, funded by an antivaxx organization, who published the study on their own antivaxx website. Not peer reviewed, not scrutinized.
The low IQ authors have selectively amplified weaker associations while dismissing robust epidemiological data from millions showing no vaccine-autism link.
The largest study ever on this, a Danish study found no association between childhood vaccines and 50 different health conditions, including autism, asthma, and autoimmune diseases. Here is the evidence, unlike the pathetic links shown by the other guy.
https://t.co/qZmeF0roUo
I had already called out this barefoot walking, urine-guzzling loving CEO boomer uncle before on his bullshit on medical and science, but it seems like he needs to bad mouth science and medical discoveries to keep his head floating above water level on social media considering the fact that his Arattai Messenger App and his Zohodotcom email is going the Koo way right into the gutters.
These health Illiterates have themselves taken these vaccines, given their children their vaccines, and saw them enjoy longevity and now advising others to consider stopping vaccinations. How selfish and bigoted can this get?
Uncle ji, a wise Gujarati chessmaster once told me, "Stay in your Lane", before he got busted out of his game trying to glorify pseudoscience. You also do the same and use the X payout from this engagement to fix your Arattai and Cherattai and whatever third rate app you are cooking up to fool your spinal level thinking bhakt pals. Ok?
Delete your post you lime soda without fizz.
