The Andhra Pradesh government should restore this Chalukyan-era temple and open it to the public as a heritage monument and tourist attraction.
Requesting Shri @PawanKalyan, @ncbn, and @naralokesh garu to kindly look into this and take the necessary steps. 🙏🏽
"Indians in America are not forcing our religion onto you. We celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas too. Hinduism does not seek to convert anyone," says a young Indian-American activist at a city council meeting in Texas amid rising anti-Indian racism
This man is an unstoppable force of nature.
What I’ve admired about him for decades is not just his obsession for development but his desire to always be innovative in his policies.
He raises the bar for himself and for everyone around him.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
If India aligns its cities with their landscapes, Vizag could be our San Diego. No other beach city in India matches Vizag’s cleanliness and calm vibe.
Unanimous love from critics! 🔥

Duopoly, no competition, do whatever you want.

After visiting 14 countries over the past 8 years 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴🇦🇪🇹🇭🇲🇾🇦🇹🇬🇷🇨🇭🇩🇰🇳🇱🇹🇷🇸🇬, I’ve realised how truly blessed India 🇮🇳 is.
In my opinion, India has one of the most human-friendly climates on Earth 🌍.
The US and Europe face harsh winters, months of gloom and depression and their summers can literally burn the skin
The Middle East? Beautiful, but the summers are almost unliveable
Thailand, Myanmar, and Singapore? Unbearably humid.
And that makes me wonder, if nature favours us this much, why are we still trailing behind?
If not for the historical loots, deep-rooted corruption, and lack of long-term vision, India could have easily been the most desirable place on the planet. 🇮🇳

Subject: Appeal for a merit-based and economically inclusive system of opportunities
Respected Sir,
I write to you as a young citizen of India , a student who believes that our nation’s strength lies in equality, not division.
Sir, caste-based reservation has become a political tool . After more than 75 years of independence, it has become a permanent fixture in our policy structure. While its intent was noble, its impact today deserves review - not to take away anyone’s rights, but to ensure fairness for all.
According to NITI Aayog (2023) and NCRB data:
• Over 70% of India’s poor today come from all castes, including so-called “upper castes,” yet they remain outside the safety net of reservation.
• Nearly 85% of government jobs and higher education seats are covered under some form of reservation, leaving limited space for open competition.
• Around 80,000 students from the General Category scored above 95% in Class 12 (CBSE 2024), yet many couldn’t get admission to top colleges due to seat constraints.
• Meanwhile, in some institutions, the cut-off gap exceeds 50–70 marks, creating deep frustration and hopelessness among meritorious youth.
Sir, India needs an economic and merit-based model of affirmative action that uplifts the poor and deserving from every section of society - not one that divides based on caste lines drawn 70 years ago.
Reservation should be a support system, not a political tool. It must empower the underprivileged, not penalize merit.
We, the youth of India, are not asking for special privilege - only for equal opportunity. Please initiate a national review of the reservation policy and design a new model rooted in economic need, education level, and regional backwardness, rather than inherited identity.
We dream of an India where every student, regardless of caste, can say:
“My future is in my hands - not in my caste certificate .”
With deep respect and hope,
Yours faithfully,
A concerned General Category youth
(For equality, fairness, and one India for all)
