My expectations from Modi 3.0 :
1. Fix trains: Daily, over 2 crore people travel in trains. Vande Bharat and all is nice but it caters for the top 2-3% of travelers. The rest travel in regular trains and they need massive improvements.
2. Fix taxes: Very few people pay direct taxes in India. Don't burden them more to fund the never-ending welfare schemes. Focus should be to increase tax bases, rather than finding new ways to extort from those already paying.
3. Fix IT cell: Criticism, specially from the well wishers should be encouraged. Things can't improve unless there are both positive and negative feedback about something you do. But the people party/netas hire, they make a repulsive atmosphere. Instead of presenting logical counter arguments to criticism, these people attack, abuse, mock those who criticize. They make your common supporters angry.
4. Break the ecosystem: It's a well known fact that abroad based state and non state actors fund people in India to sabotage our internal affairs. The time to only 'expose' them and 'play victim' is gone. They should now actively be fixed.
5. Select right candidates: Your party's MLAs/MPs know that they'll win on your name and goodwill even if they don't work. This liberty had a shelf life and it has reached I think. People should not be taken for granted. Please ensure the MLAs/MPs stay in their constituencies and work for people.
6. Please create a communication team/cell/ministry who gives daily/weekly briefing about your current/future schemes. Misinformation followed by protests has tasted blood and it'll only increase. BJP communicates when it's already too late.
7. No appeasement: You took back the farm laws and apologised on Gurpurab, exempted GST on Langars, opened Kartarpur corridor, created an SIT for the 1984 riots, declared December 26 as Veer Baal Diwas, and gave respect to Gurudwaras and Sikh traditions. Result? 0 seats in Punjab. Same goes for the disproportionate welfare schemes for other Minorities/groups. Do welfare for all but not appeasement for some.
8. Crackdown on illegal religious conversion. It's going unchecked everywhere.
9. Focus on core voters. They wholeheartedly support, face abuses and threats for you, selflessly.
10. Let your work speak for you. Example, you've reduced 100 rupees on cylinder, the news will automatically reach every corner of India. People already know that you did it. But instead every minister, member, leader making a graphic with caption like 'Mahilaon ko samman dene ke liye Modiji ka dhanyawad' makes it a mockery. Not every little thing has to be publicized.
I'm just a well wisher. Take it or leave it, upto you. Whatever I've written is in good faith. My hope is that @narendramodi win 2029 with a landslide margin.

#DigitalTransformation in India has truly skyrocketed over the last decade.
What's great to see is that the government and private players are equally contributing towards the rally. More to come!
A presentation of mine has been doing the rounds on WhatsApp. It is from a talk on India's #DigitalTransformation over the last 15 years led by the many #DigitalPublicInfrastructure (DPIs) we've built. There have been many non-linear changes in the country. I attempt to join the dots and present the bigger picture. It is a testament to the great work done by the government and our entrepreneurs!
For those not on WhatsApp (like me😀), I decided to release it under a Creative Commons license:

The Concept Of 33 Koti Devata!
The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly.
“Yasya Trayastri
nshad Devaa Ange Sarve Sama
ahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”.(Atharva Veda)
Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world.
In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1)
The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2)
They are: 8-Vasu, 11-Rudra, and 12-Aaditya, 1-Indra and 1-Prajaapati.
Sum Total of it is 33
8. Vasus are ~ Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Moon, Sun, and Star. They are called Vasus, because they are abode of all that lives, moves or exists. (also mentioned in Mahabharat, 1/66/18)
11. Rudras ~ The ten Pranas (Praana, Apaana, Vyaana, Samaana, Udaana, Naag, Kurma, Krikal, Devadutta and Dhananjaya) i.e. nervauric forces which live in the human body. The eleventh is the human soul. These are called ‘Rudras’ because when they desert the body, it becomes dead and the relations of the deceased, consequently, begin to weep.
Rudra means one who makes a person to weep. { also mentioned in Harivansha 13/51-52})
12. Adityaas —the twelve months of a year called Adityaas, they cause the lapse of the term of existence of each object or being. (also mentioned in Mahabharat)
1. Indra which is also known as the (all-pervading) electricity, as it is productive of great force.
1. Prajaapati , also called the “Yajna” because it benefits mankind by the purification of air, water, rain and vegetables and because it aids the development of various arts, and in it the honor is accorded to the learned and the wise.
The master of these 33 Devatas is the Mahadeva or Ishwar who alone is to be worshipped as per 14th Kanda of Shatpath Brahman.
