@theskindoctor13 Simply corruption..

[desiboy @desiboyalways]

@Sammy_canada2 This is really bad. There should be proper garbage bags kept. So embarrassing. They will never pick up after the event that’s for sure because if they are not doing at first place they will not do at the end.

[desiboy @desiboyalways]

@YTKDIndia Corrupt MFs they should be given harsh punishment.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Dharmendra Pradhan should go.

Javadekar, and Nishank were removed from the Education Ministry for far less than what has unfolded under Pradhan's tenure.

The govt should not worry about whether Congress will portray his removal as a political victory. Let them. They are irrelevant. The govt is answerable to students and parents, and they are increasingly disillusioned by repeated paper leak controversies, CBSE evaluation discrepancies, contentious UGC regulations, and a series of avoidable crises. In recent years, there has rarely been this level of public anger directed at the Education Ministry.

Pradhan's removal should be followed by an independent probe to determine whether tender rules were altered or interpreted in a manner that favoured Coempt Edutech, and whether any conflict of interest exists between the company and anyone associated with the Education Ministry. Public confidence in the education system must be restored.

For perspective: each dot is American workers.
The tiny yellow cluster are the H-1B workers <0.5% of the workforce.

That’s what’s being framed as a ‘crisis.’ There’s no Indian takeover. There are no talented unemployed Americans being replaced.

This debate is being driven more by emotion than by the actual numbers.

[Steven Brown @AttyStevenBrown]

The significant factor as to why 88% are Chinese and Indian Nationals is due to the green card backlogs and country caps. Every other nationality is likely able to seek a green card within their first H-1B period if they want to (or within their second at least). Chinese and Indian nationals have to wait to become current.

Here is the May 2025 Dates of Filing chart. While USCIS is not accepting DOF for May, they did in April. It shows when an individual could file their I-485 and seek work authorization and get "off" the H-1B if they went this route.

[Sam Peak 🇺🇸💡 @SpeakSamuel]

An email I received from another H-1B holder yesterday:

"My journey in the U.S. began 20 years ago as a Masters student...For the last 15 years, I have been a technical professional on an H-1B visa, consistently renewing my status and contributing as a tax-paying resident. However, the current system has effectively "locked" me within U.S. borders:

- My recent attempt to schedule a stamping appointment in India resulted in a date pushed back to 2027, largely attributed to the recent expansion of social media vetting protocols.

- This backlog has created a state of legal estrangement. I cannot leave the U.S. to care for my aging mother or my in-laws because there is no guarantee I can re-enter to support my 5-year-old daughter, who starts school this September.

- Having already missed my father’s passing in 2020 due to pandemic-era backlogs, the prospect of being stranded again creates significant mental strain and professional risk for my employer."

There is no reason for us to make life difficult for skilled professionals who have been living in the US for two decades. The reason why we initially forced them to go back home to renew their visas was due to a 9/11 measure. At the time, only our consular offices had the capacity to collect fingerprints. Today, we collect biometrics regularly inside the US. There's no good reason to force H-1Bs to choose between the lives they built in the US vs their lives from back home.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

The responses to this are a good reminder that a lot of anti-immigrant keyboard warriors have no idea what the law says.

“He had 20 years to become a citizen!” No. Thanks to country of origin caps, the wait time for Indians can be over *100 years*—just to get a green card. Many die waiting in line.

We tell people seeking the American Dream to come here “the right way,” and then we punish them for doing so.

[Carl Wheless @carlwheless]

This is the success. missed part of the H-1B visa debate.

I am America First. I was before the term was popularized over the past few years.

But being American First does not mean turning our backs and closing our eyes to human suffering. Respectfully, that is the antithesis of American values.

Being American First doesn't mean being hard, calloused, and uncaring.

It means being strong.

Strong enough to withstand storms, challenges, and setbacks without tearing others down and seeking scapegoats. We are better than that. We are rugged individualists who seek answers within, not by pointing fingers at others.

Hold your government accountable when they fail, not Indians when they succeed.

[Steven Brown @AttyStevenBrown]

I think a vast majority of the responses to @SpeakSamuel show a lot. They show how much hatred people have for someone doing things the right way. They show a complete lack of understanding of our immigration law (especially AC21 and backlogs). And worst, they show a lack of human empathy for someone who is struggling predominately because of flaws of the Administrative State.

[James Blunt @JBlunt1018]

Depressing read for a Sunday morning. We need to either give these people normalcy or just end the program once and for all. These inhumane policies enacted by the Trump admin is exactly what it is, treats people who we call law abiding immigrants as animals. It’s shameful.

[Sam Peak 🇺🇸💡 @SpeakSamuel]

This H-1B worker has lived in the US for nearly 20 years and built a family here. His mom was dying in India. To visit her, he would need to wait months to book a consular appointment--with the soonest one available likely being scheduled one year out.

He made the difficult choice of not visiting his dying mom because leaving without an appointment would mean separation from his children, job, and his other obligations.

Much of the commentary around immigration focuses on how such bureaucratic burdens undermine immigrants’ ability to contribute and innovate. But we must remember that this red tape also prevents these people from being fully engaged with their own lives and meaningfully present in the lives of others. This matters too, and these seemingly non-economic problems will eventually translate into economic costs.

If America is no longer a place where people feel empowered to be the best versions of themselves as they celebrate, struggle, and grieve, it ceases not just being the land of opportunity, but also the land of dignity and purpose.

"We'll be a developed world by 2047, hence world should abandon GMT and explore Mahakal standard time."

Firstly, why it just can't happen: the entire modern global system, navigation, aviation, finance, telecom, satellites, and the internet, is already deeply standardized around Coordinated Universal Time and the Greenwich reference, a framework established through international consensus. Changing this would require rewriting time zones, reprogramming billions of devices, and reconfiguring critical infrastructure worldwide, with no practical benefit, since the choice of zero longitude is arbitrary and only consistency matters. In short, it would create massive disruption for symbolic value alone, making global agreement virtually impossible. The world is not going to do it just because Dharmendra Pradhan and Mohan Yadav are demanding it.

So why are they saying it? Jhunjhuna. Whenever faced with criticism over governance, bring gods ahead. "Sir, bijli nahi aa rahi." "Bol Bajrang Bali ki jai." "Sir, UGC par aapki kya raay hai?" "Bol Har Har Mahadevvvvv."

Kerala has always had immense potential, high literacy, global exposure, and a strong human resource base.

Yet, despite these strengths, it hasn’t translated into large-scale growth or enough local jobs. Thanks to decades of socialist rule, where control, unionism, and resistance to private enterprise dominated, industry never truly scaled the way it should have, and the result is visible in one reality every family knows, youth leaving the state, not by choice but by necessity.

That’s where the NDA’s manifesto shifts the conversation. It moves beyond maintaining the status quo and focuses on building an economy that creates jobs at scale.

There’s a clear push toward industrialisation, electronics, manufacturing, AI, and high-tech sectors, supported by defined economic roles for cities: Thiruvananthapuram as an IT and innovation hub, Kochi as a shipbuilding capital, and Kozhikode as a healthcare and medical innovation centre. Add to this targeted zones like Vizhinjam and marine clusters, and the intent is to place Kerala firmly on the global supply chain map.

Importantly, it also recognises that infrastructure alone isn’t enough. Industry-linked skilling and incentives like ₹1 lakh per job created aim to directly encourage employment generation and retain local talent.

What stands out is the attempt to present a direction rather than just slogans. The leadership mix, Narendra Modi, the man who moved India from the “Fragile Five” to the world’s 5th largest economy; Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the architect behind India’s electronics revolution; and Sabu M. Jacob, a global industrialist who fought Kerala’s red tape firsthand and won, brings together governance, technology, and real industry experience.

The youth of Kerala deserve jobs, dignity, and a future in their own land. NDA for Vikasita Keralam is that future. Kerala’s future is in Kerala's youth hands. The time to decide is now.
