Every issue in India is downstream of low industrialisation. Build industrial cities, cut red tape, reduce cost of power and capital, and most importantly, put guardrails on oligarchy. Every sector being dominated by 2-3 behemoths kills competition and growth.

@MagicalXavi Don’t know what was Tuchel’s strategy, but you just can’t let Messi play for a full 35 mins near your 18 yard box. It’s self harm.

India hasn't moved from lower to upper-middle income in the last 20 years. We entered the lower middle income club way back in 2007. Vietnam joined after us, in 2009 and has already graduated to the next tier. China did it in just 13 years, 1997 to 2010.

It's like that proverbial small-town family. Beta is running dad's shop. Income is comfortable and growing but nothing exciting. Why change anything? Large population, young population, customers will keep coming, that's manifest destiny na. Customer is happy with a handwritten parchi, so who's asking about AI. Sleep in the afternoon, business chalta hai.

Sure, we may not ascend to great heights quickly. But look at the Philippines, they spent 38 years as lower-middle income. Compared to that, what is 20 years?

Beta is still running dad's shop. Same parchi, same afternoon nap. Just a bigger shop now.

@amitsurg I have crossed the flyover and bridge multiple times while going to Uttarakhand. The entire area is filled with dumpers and SUVs driving in wrong direction. It’s a hub of stone crushing units and everyone drives very dangerously.

Low-trust societies make honest people look naive and dishonest people look street-smart. Following the rules exposes you to delays and exploitation, while knowing the right workaround earns admiration.

Eventually in such societies people at large begin to feel that corruption is not something immoral but rather something which is a part of basic competence in navigating practical life.

Mostly are 18-25 year olds. What happened to hustling and looking forward to working at that age. Our country is deteriorating by the minute. It feels like everyone is out there to scam, kill or rape someone. And such barbarity with a 13 year old. We need vigilante groups!

At @ThePrintIndia we named every perpetrator who has been identified by the Rajasthan Police.

This is why it’s important to have 100% domestic shareholding in critical manufacturing companies. Qatar doesn’t care for 2300 mfg jobs in Germany. Hundreds of such layoffs and Germany loses its mfg edge as the knowledge gets lost forever. https://t.co/oW4SFkXFTM

Everyone is out there to earn easy money but I have many ques on this. What will they do with the siphoned crude? Who is going to buy it as it has to be refined? How did they connect a pipe to an active crude pipeline? How did such a big op go unnoticed?

Some #Awadhi dishes are highly underrated. Gilafi kulcha and Nihari should be much much more popular. Also Kakori kebab needs to be eaten by every kebab lover.

It’s their money that is funding the Toyotas and Mercs of politicians and bureaucrats. Corruption is so rampant that we have stopped discussing it and have accepted it as a way of life. In a well functioning society, open display of disproportionate wealth would be scandalous.

[Devansh @ddevanshh]

The most consequential change to have happened in the last decade is the desensitisation of the common man to institutional and bureaucratic corruption. People share reels of officers roaming around in Fortuners and MLAs buying Land Cruisers and Vellfires. They don’t realise

[Gems Of Naukarshahi @NaukarshahiGems]

India can never become a Vishwaguru. The reason behind this is its crappy and outdated laws.

In America, if any government servant engages in corruption, they face a minimum penalty of $250,000 or three times the amount of the bribe, along with up to 15 years in prison.

This means: If you took a $10,000 bribe, you will have to pay $250,000 as penalty. And if you took a $250,000 bribe, you will have to pay $750,000 as penalty.

India has no such provision. Here, the penalty depends entirely on the judge’s discretion, and the maximum punishment is just 7 years in jail, which is rarely even given.

In America, it is mandatory to resolve all small and medium corruption cases within 6 to 18 months, and complex corruption cases within 3 to 5 years.

In India, even minor corruption cases take 2 to 3 decades, and major corruption cases are never resolved till the end.

How will we become Bhrashtaguru? Sorry, Vishwaguru?

I’m surprised the sugar lobby is stronger than the refinery lobby that has Ambani, Putin and Bharti Mittal in the same team.

[CITIZEN VIGILANTE @vigilante_monk]

Energy security is much more complicated than just mixing alcohol into fuel and pushing Ethanol / Isobutanol as some magic solution.

Crude oil is not imported only for Petrol & Diesel.

The same crude oil also gives us:
• LPG
• ATF / Jet Fuel
• Lubricants
• Bitumen
• Petrochemicals
• Industrial chemicals and many more petroleum products

So how exactly does reducing petrol and diesel alone suddenly solve crude dependency or forex outflow?

If refinery throughput drops, production of all these other petroleum products can also get affected. Then we’ll simply start importing more downstream products and substitutes from outside again.

That puts us right back where we started:
More imports. More forex outflow. More dependency.

This issue needs serious long-term planning and honest discussion … not oversimplified narratives and forced fuel adulteration policies that seem more focused on benefiting the sugar lobby and vote bank politics than building genuine energy security.

We need to have citizen protection laws against torture. The police force is the biggest abuser of power in the country.

[Piyush Rai @Benarasiyaa]

Shivraj Singh was picked up by police, allegedly brutaIIy to*tured in custody by UP's Hamirpur police and is currently in critical condition. Police later figured that they had detained the wrong Shivraj.

The shock on his face. Can barely speak.

India’s civil war between the city and the village is over, and the village has won decisively. By city, I mean a place that is not so serious about social order but can only function with high civic order.

What the rising wrong-side driving says about India’s future

‘I used to wonder at which precise per capita income a developing country begins to observe lane discipline. I don’t wonder anymore. I have realized there is no correlation.
In the past year alone, I have seen wrong- side driving increase by many orders of magnitude across India. This is part mystery, because cops continue to hide behind trees and lamp-posts to pounce on people who run a signal or ride without a helmet. Yet, people drive on the wrong side of the road in full public view. Not just cycles and food-delivery mopeds, or SUVs like Thars. All sorts of vehicles drive boldly on the wrong side. This makes me feel that two things have happened.’

But why is a huge industrial house like ABG investing in low margin, competitive business like cafes?

Capital coffee culture, elevated. In Good Co. is now open in Greater Kailash 2, Delhi. Marking a key milestone in our growing hospitality portfolio, this new specialty destination brings artisanal roasts and premium ambiance together under one roof.

@ANI Why is a poor country like India concerned about emissions. And why should common ppl pay for lower emissions? Compensate for lower mileage through lower retail prices. Lower mileage and higher prices don’t work!
