@GabbbarSingh What is the status of that bill? There was a committee under Ex President...

The West poured $50 billion into fast breeder nuclear reactors and abandoned every single one. India poured $900 million and just achieved criticality on the first commercially viable one outside Russia.

The US spent $15 billion. Gave up. Japan spent $12 billion. Their Monju prototype had one sodium fire in 1995 and never recovered. The UK spent $8 billion. Germany spent $6 billion. France, Italy, all walked away. Six of the richest nations on Earth concluded this technology was too hard and too expensive to pursue.

India started building in 2004 with an initial budget of $420 million. Twenty-two years, a dozen missed deadlines, and a cost doubling later, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam just sustained a controlled fission chain reaction. The reactor is now alive.

The reason India never quit is a constraint most people have never thought about. India has only 1-2% of the world's uranium reserves. For a country of 1.4 billion people trying to build energy independence, that's a death sentence if you're running conventional nuclear.

But India has 25% of the world's thorium. The single largest national reserve on Earth.

The problem: you can't just burn thorium the way you burn uranium. A physicist named Homi Bhabha designed a three-stage nuclear program in the 1950s specifically to solve this. Stage 1: burn natural uranium in heavy water reactors, collect plutonium as a byproduct. Stage 2: feed that plutonium into fast breeder reactors, where it breeds MORE plutonium AND converts thorium into fissile uranium-233. Stage 3: burn thorium directly at scale.

India just entered Stage 2. Seventy years after Bhabha drew it up on paper.

The math on the thorium endgame is wild. At current energy consumption rates, India's thorium reserves could power the country for over 700 years. Most nuclear nations are playing a uranium game with maybe 80-100 years of runway. India is playing a completely different game with a 7x longer fuel supply.

The West quit because uranium stayed cheap and sodium coolant is terrifying. It catches fire on contact with air. It explodes on contact with water. Russia's BN-600 had 27 sodium leaks and 14 sodium fires between 1980 and 1997. And Russia kept going anyway because Russia doesn't quit nuclear projects. India watched all of that and kept going too.

When you have 1% of the uranium but 25% of the thorium, the engineering difficulty stops being a reason to quit. It becomes the price of admission to a 700-year energy supply that nobody else can access.

@NalinisKitchen @raghav_chadha Agree. Business guys do the same. They show income for all children, GF, GM etc.

The Real Bosses of India: Why the Rule of 800+ DMs Must End

With the signing of the major India-EU deal and the opening of the US market at the lowest tariff rates among all Asian economies, the ONE factor stopping India from pivoting is its own bureaucracy. The Indian bureaucracy stands as the nation's largest roadblock to development.

India is at a pivotal moment in its quest to become a developed nation. India is the youngest country in the world; her young people are hungry for growth, and their eyes are brimming with aspiration. While politicians often bear the brunt of public blame, the true obstacle is an entrenched bureaucracy that stifles progress.

For over 75 years since independence, politicians have aimed to uplift the nation, yet their efforts are frequently thwarted by a rigid system resistant to change.

Indian politicians, regardless of party affiliation, genuinely aspire to improve their constituents' lives. They know they must face the electorate every five years—and often every two and a half years when considering local and parliamentary election cycles.

Having interacted with many political leaders, engaged with some of them very closely, I haven't met a single one who wants the system to choke the life out of everyday citizens. In fact, most envision a prosperous India with robust infrastructure; however, the bureaucratic machinery—defined by permanence and self-preservation—often overshadows the ambitions of even the most established leaders.

Bureaucrats wield immense power, creating roadblocks where elected officials struggle to implement meaningful policies. This disconnect from the realities faced by citizens undermines the very goals of governance.

I have often maintained that India is not actually governed by the PM or CMs; it is governed by the 800+ DM's - the IAS officers serving as District Collectors. Every District Collector/DM is the local PM or CM. He is the gang leader who can make or break the lives of people in those districts. Every policy is implemented by them—and often times, policies are even conceived by them as they push their own agendas up the chain of command all the way to their supreme commander - the Cabinet Secretary.

The bureaucratic system is designed to protect its own, making it nearly impossible for politicians to initiate reform without facing substantial resistance. This cycle perpetuates stagnation, not due to a lack of political will, but because of the establishment's reluctance to embrace change.

To demolish this "IAS Roadblock," India must incorporate specialists and adopt a degree of "adhocracy" in key sectors. By empowering experts in areas like Health, Agriculture, Education, Defense, Infrastructure, and Technology, India can leverage specialized knowledge to tackle complex challenges effectively. Small, agile teams can innovate solutions without the red tape that hinders progress.

Additionally, allowing lateral entry for specialists into development departments can foster a culture of efficiency where decisions are based on expertise rather than hierarchy. In rapidly evolving sectors like AI, this flexibility is crucial for responsiveness. By prioritizing speed, efficiency, transparency and accountability, India can rebuild trust and ensure policy implementation aligns with the growing aspirations of its young population.

REMOVE THE IAS ROADBLOCK—MARCH AHEAD, INDIA!

@viraj_sheth Pathetic judicial system

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@dmuthuk Sir have you released your stock portfolio of 2026, or is it same like what you had disclosed in 2025

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@total_woke_ It is not even on main stream media

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@khurpenchh Guys, this is not the final design. The other two lanes will come up later, as they will go in different direction. Lets not make issue out of everythinf

Unfortunately, in the current scheme of things, these poor people are still considered "oppressors" 👇

Question is-
What kind of social justice we are doing??

@ShivAroor Trfr are just a gimmick

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@thekiranbedi Suspension is a joke

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@Abhinav_Pan Why trfr. Why cant you remove them from job. These guy will repeat the same thing at another place also.

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@x_rahulraj One Nation One Election is for that purpose only

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@India_Policy Exaclty if not sacked then there is no accountability at all
They will contibue the same thjng at new place

[Devyash Jain @devyash_jain]

@MeghUpdates He will go somewhere else. He should be out of job and not transferred.
