This appeared in The Hindu several years back when the late Kasturi ( N Ram's father) was editor of the paper. Is it possible that in today's scenario, this message will be allowed to appear in The Hindu of today?

[The Indian Matrix @indianmatrix]

How much of India's infrastructure was built after 2014?

• 100% of Dedicated Freight Corridors
• 98% of Solar Capacity
• 85% of the Expressway Network
• 79% of Tap Water Access
• 75% of Metro Rail
• 71% of Port Capacity
• 69% of Railway Electrification
• 60% of 4-Lane National Highways

Infrastructure is built over decades.
But some decades build more than others.

@sardesairajdeep I am disgusted with your hippocracy Now I know why this country was enslaved

[Khalid Baig @KhalidBaig85]

7 years tommorrow to the day, Article 370 was abrogated. How many days in these 7 years?

2557

In these 2557 days, not one child of lesser Allah died in stone pelting protests.

Before that, from 2010 to 2019, more than 500 mothers in Kashmir lost their beloved sons to stone pelting clashes that would take place against security forces. On an average, in those 3630 days, a mother lost a child forever every 6 days.

Today, it has been 2557 days, not a single death of a young, budding child. Compare it to a death every 6th day for 9 consecutive, relentless years.

Prior to August 5,2019, Kashmir had lost a cumulative 3 years of academic and business calendar to Hartals and Curfews. So in 30 yrs, from 1989 to 2019, a student in school, college, University, a government officer, a businessman lost 3 yrs of work life in those 30 yrs, which is roughly 1000 days of life, sitting inside their homes, in 10,000 days. Years after years of productive life, lived as prisoners in their homes.

After August 5,2019, full academic calendar days for the first time, post 1989. Students not missing their schools. No hartals, no curfews. Businesses not suffering losses. The government officer having to uphold his duty and having no excuse.

Tourism figures amongst the highest in 3 decades and beating tourist numbers witnessed for any year in those turbulent 3 decades of 1989-2019

Cinema Halls back again, this after 1989. The culture of people going for their movies at a Theatre next to them, starting once again. Attempts were made to start Cinemas again in those decades of 1989-2019, however they could not sustain, as terrorism consumed them.

Lowest levels of terror recruits, post 2019. The figures being extremely low, compared to the mass numbers from 1989 to 2019.

Kashmir finally connected by Train to rest of India in this May,2026.

Road Travel Time from Kashmir to Jammu, as of today, a mere, flat 4 hrs.

In conversations with people in Kashmir, in their drawing rooms, they said to me the same thing on multiple occassions.

"There is no general acceptance of PM Modi's party in Kashmir, but how can we deny that his policies and actions post 2019 have ushered in an era of peace and prosperity, which we had not seen in those turbulent decades of separatism and Miltancy of 1989-2019"

P.S. On the other side of the border, state of Pakistan has just in the year 2026, killed over 200 protestors seeking Azaadi for their basic human rights in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.

[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

Dharmendra Pradhan was the worst Education Minister.
Not for students.
For those who thought they owned education.

For decades,
One ecosystem decided what students should remember.

Which reforms were welcomed.
Which reforms were buried.

Invaders received chapters.
Heroes received footnotes.
Wounds were edited.
Wisdom was labelled mythology.

Bureaucrats shaped the rollout.
The ecosystem guarded the gates.

Because education was never just policy.
It was power.
Influence.
Business.

Graduates rolled out like an end-of-season sale.
Degrees everywhere.
Thinkers missing.

Then came 2014.
Modi tried ministers.

Smriti Irani.
Prakash Javadekar.
Ramesh Pokhriyal.

Each touched the machinery.
The machinery touched back.

Because education reform in India is not administration.
It is bomb disposal.

Then came Dharmendra Pradhan.

The man had already delivered LPG cylinders.
Into all corners of India.

2021.
Modi handed him education.

And Pradhan entered the building.
Quietly.

He saw files.
And landmines.

Under his tenure came:

NEP 2020 implementation.
The National Curriculum Framework.

PM SHRI schools.
PARAKH assessment reforms.

APAAR student identity.
Academic Bank of Credits.

The National Credit Framework.
Multidisciplinary education.

Indian Knowledge Systems.
New accreditation architecture.

The Radhakrishnan reforms.
Stronger examination laws.

And the VBSA Bill.
A Bill designed to dismantle the UGC-AICTE-NCTE nexus.

Naturally, everyone was angry.

But the real explosion was elsewhere.

Inside NCERT.

Ganita Prakash.
Kaushal Bodh.
Kriti.
Poorvi.

Indian names returned.

So did Indian knowledge.

Baudhayana entered mathematics.
Ancient science.
Architecture.
Tribal traditions.
Marathas.
Civilisational Bharat.

The Constitution grew stronger.
Rights were taught.
Duties were restored.
Citizenship became participation.

The Emergency entered Class Nine.

India was no longer shown only as a land repeatedly defeated.

India became a civilisation that created, questioned and survived.

That disturbed 5 established kingdoms:

Narrative power.
Institutional power.
Epistemic power.
Moral power.
Generational power.

Then came the paper leak.
The crime was real.
The anger was legitimate.

But the investigation became drama.

The crowd wanted a face.
Television wanted a sacrifice.
Politics supplied the cross.

On 25th July,
Dharmendra Pradhan resigned.

The crowd celebrated.
The ecosystem exhaled.

We crucified the man who was repairing the classroom.
And the real culprits watched from safer rooms.

Paper leaks must be punished.
Ministers must be accountable.

But accountability without investigation is mob psychology.

We rarely study the file.
We study the hashtag.

We do not follow chronology.
We follow choreography.

And young minds?
They are told whom to hate before being told what happened.

So ask one uncomfortable question.

Was Pradhan removed because he failed education?

Or because he had finally begun changing who controlled it?

witch hunted a 15 year old girl, do people have screen shots of his tweets?

[Deep Thakker @DeepT1992]

@ManishtY2k @AskAnshul @BJP4India Are you an idiot Law and order and police is state subject central govt can't jump in

[Deep Thakker @DeepT1992]

@Fintech03 Thank you for enlightening is Only an outright idiot and thorough moron can make fun of such a personality

[Deep Thakker @DeepT1992]

@sharatpradhan21 @ANI Is this a non issue why dont you ask pappu

[Deep Thakker @DeepT1992]

Mr Pradhan is doing his work honestly Let us compare the work that he has done with work done by opposition education ministers

[Shubham Kushwaha @realshubhamkush]

A friend of mine, who happens to be an MBA student with a decent job, asked me whether I support the ongoing protest

When I asked him why do you think I should support the protest?

He said:

> India has the highest debt of 500 lakh crore
> Highest unemployment rate in the world
> No new education institutions
> Primary schools getting closed
> Highest inflation in the world
> Per capita GDP very low in comparison to other countries in the world
> Students not being able to crack competitive exams
> Multiple paper leaks
> Vishwaguru is JUMLA

I was surprised to see how someone so educated could be so misinformed.

I answered to his questions:

> In 2014, India's external debt stood at around 23.9% of GDP (approximately ₹55 lakh crore)

Today, it is around 19.1% of GDP (about ₹181 lakh crore). This is nowhere close to the ₹500 lakh crore figure he mentioned

> Sudan has the highest unemployment rate in the world not India, India currently has an unemployment rate of 5.5%. In global comparisons among major economies, India performs better than countries like France (8.1%) and Spain (10.83%)

> In 2014, India had 16 IITs, 7 AIIMS, 13 IIMs, and 9 IIITs. Today, there are 23 IITs, 22 AIIMS, 20 IIMs, and 25 IIITs

> Venezuela has the highest inflation rate in the world not India, India is performing the best even in the ongoing wars with inflation below 4.5%

> India's per capita income has increased by more than 45% since 2014

> The inability to crack competitive exams is largely an individual outcome. However, the government's role is to ensure a fair, transparent, and merit-based examination system

> If we are comparing with the past, the situation was worse. Even high school examination papers used to be leaked. That said, paper leaks remain unacceptable, and there must be strict accountability

> Any country that confers its highest civilian honour does not do so without recognizing a person's influence, contribution, or global stature. Whether one agrees with the term "Vishwaguru" or not, India's growing international standing cannot be dismissed

I have no issue with anyone protesting or criticizing the government. In fact, that's a fundamental right in a democracy. But if your arguments don't stand up to basic fact-checking, then you're not challenging the government, you're simply spreading misinformation.

This is Congress’s rotten legacy of paper leaks, which now BJP is fixing... The Congress did nothing then to address the situation, unlike the BJP, which has brought in the stringent Public Examinations (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024, to curb such practices n ensure transparency.. Today after #neetpaperleak all the culprits are arrested.. Cbi inquiry is on.. No one is getting spared.. There will always be evil in society, but if u know how to fight them things will be better.. N Currently no one is better than bjp to fight such evil.. Period
