THE COST OF 1947: HOW PM NEHRU LOST ACCESS TO CENTRAL ASIA

[GemsOfINDOLOGY @GemsOfINDOLOGY]

1940. Urban India wore full blouses and colonial shame. This Fakirani Jat woman in Kutch? Didn't even know she was supposed to.

By 1940, urban India had already completed the Victorian arc - full blouses, sleeves, moral lectures on "modesty", colonial etiquette manuals teaching Indians how to dress "properly".

But the desert had other ideas.

Pastoral communities like the Fakirani Jats never accepted that script.

The choli here is almost backless. Tied with a simple cord. Functional for the Thar heat. Normal for the community.

No apology. No negotiation.

Notice the arm.

Massive ivory bangles covering the forearm. A marital marker. A social code. A desert identity.

Urban reformers talked about "civilizing" Indian dress.

Yet here is a woman in 1940, standing outside that entire Victorian moral universe.

Head covered with an odhni. Back open to the sun. Jewellery declaring lineage and status.

Different logic of modesty. Different cultural grammar.

The irony?

While colonial morality reshaped cities, pastoral India quietly continued traditions that were far older than the empire judging them.

Sometimes the most radical resistance is simply refusing to change.

'What Uttar Pradesh Means for India’s Growth Story'

Uttar Pradesh is no longer an economic drag but the heart of India's growth story. With its economy doubling to ~₹30 lakh crore in 8 years and a shift towards industry & services, UP is road-testing the template for India's rise.

All this had become possible under the leadership of Hon. CM Shri @myogiadityanath Ji Maharaj.

One only wears gerua, the other turtlenecks. Once you see the similarity, you only see more of it...

[Stringg @StringReveals]

I never thought I would agree with this comparison, but the more you look at it, the more it fits.
Steve Jobs revived Apple by slashing clutter, focusing ruthlessly on execution, and rebuilding the system from the core.
Yogi Adityanath did the same for Uttar Pradesh. Chaos was cut, time bound governance enforced, and the administrative OS fixed.
The results speak. UP’s GSDP doubled from around ₹13 lakh crore in 2016-17 to nearly ₹30 lakh crore in 2024-25. Investments crossed ₹12 lakh crore and exports surged to ₹1.86 lakh crore.
This is what decisive leadership and the right vote can do to a state’s fortune.

Decades later, the Vohra Report remains partly classified. No names of politicians were revealed. It stands as a symbol of buried accountability in India’s governance.

The report named underworld figures like Dawood Ibrahim, Iqbal Mirchi & the Memon brothers, linking their networks to states like Maharashtra. It urged tighter coordination to counter the nexus.

@INCIndia Completely ignore that debt is a powerful tool if used for the right reasons, like building infra and r&d capacities. Those that used debts only to service their personal needs and luxuries, cannot comprehend this

💯. And there is a reason for this.

50+ years of socialism programming all Indians against big businesses and the rich. A time where for any business to just start and survive it had to pay the govt and all its depts.

So capitalists and the wealthy are just looked down as corrupt and seen with contempt. It has become ingrained in Indian culture.

Interestingly, this culture inculcated by a party is being weaponized again by the same party to selectively hit certain businesses that do not play well with it.
