One of the biggest problems in India is overpopulation.

It's crowded everywhere.

Gyms are packed. Restaurants are packed. Traffic jams are everywhere. Any tourist spot is always packed. Hotels are booked. Even public places and parks are always full of people.

Sometimes it gets tiring. Crowds and noise everywhere.

The government school improvement will be most important social movement of the country.

A country that start reparing it's school has bright future.

The romanticisation of small towns, especially in the Hindi belt, by some journalists, actors, and podcasters, as a place of "sukoon" is amusing because it's an opinion almost exclusively held by men. Women didn't experience the slow life of chai ki tapri; just a lack of freedom.

I watched a YouTube video about why Gen Z spends so much and saves so little.

The basic conclusion was that Gen Z knows that even if they save aggressively and cut down on unnecessary spending, most of them still won't be able to afford a house or other property.

They feel hopeless about the future.

So instead, they focus on short-term goals and pleasures, clothes, iPhones, trips, experiences, and things they can actually afford.

And honestly, I don't blame them.

Life is meant to be lived. If owning a house or achieving traditional long-term goals feels impossible no matter how much you save, then what's the point of living like a slave just to save for a future you may never be able to afford?

Out of all the promises Modi ji made before 2014, his failure to reduce corruption in Govt System is the biggest failure.

The frustration is so high among common people that people are making random website by themselves to report bribe and it's going viral. That's the height of hopelessness.

Don't forget Modi ji came in power after UPA2 peak corruption time but couldn't punish any big names. Infact many of those "corrupt" people are welcomed in BJP.

@WisdomOfCric kapil dev and Ian Botham are fast bowling all-rounders; they always get highlighted more. daniel vettori from this list is also not appreciated enough, plus no many would have expected him to be on this list

Slaves used to work all day, everyday with no pay in exchange for free food, free water, and free shelter.

Now, we work all day, everyday for pay that we spend on food, water, and shelter.

Nothing has changed except the illusion of freedom.

Bro to bro- do not try entrepreneurship if you don't have a high tolerance for uncertainty. For long periods of time, you genuinely won’t know if you’re early, wrong, unlucky, or just stupid. You need to be cheap before you can afford not to be. Because raising money and burning it is easy. Building something people are willing to pay for is hard. You need high self esteem and a low ego and you've to be comfortable being wrong, looking stupid and changing your mind. Most importantly, learn how to lose without becoming a loser. Because you’re going to lose a lot- money, people, deals & time. Just don’t lose your ability to think clearly. And btw, don’t go looking for motivation. It is useless after a while. What you really need is stamina. Both physical & mental.

Millions of young men will spend their absolute physical prime rotting in tiny rented rooms in Mukherjee Nagar preparing for sarkari exams they have statistically zero chance of clearing. The entire ecosystem of coaching centers functions as a holding pen for disguised unemployment while parents delude themselves into thinking their son is destined to become a collector.

General Category desperately and urgently needs a political party. Yes, nothing less than a political party will work.

BJP doesn’t give a damn about GCs. The same goes for the INC, AAP, SP, and other parties. They are all ready to make us scapegoats for their vote banks.

And if you think you can protest like Abhijeet Dipke and get things done by Modi, you’re a fool. Modi won’t give us permission to protest, and even if he does, God knows what sections he might impose on us. The right to protest in this country belongs only to the Left.

After the 2027 caste census, don’t be surprised if the debate over reservation in the private sector also gains momentum. If that happens, we need a political platform capable of fighting it democratically and constitutionally.

Only and only a political party can save GCs in this country; otherwise, the future is going to be frightening for us!

Stand tall. Dont crack. Endure. You can die tomorrow. Today you do the only thing you can do. You fight. You rage on. You do what you came to do. You finish what you started. No matter how much it costs. How long it takes. Or how much it hurts. Because you said you would.

A peak life advice by Elon Musk:

“Stop being patient and start asking yourself: How can I accomplish my 10 year plan in 6 months? You will probably fail, but you'll be far ahead of the person who simply accepted it would take 10 years.”

[Frontier Indica @frontierindica]

Indian employers behave as though giving someone a job is an act of generosity rather than a purchase of labour, and the entire sequence of office life follows from that basic belief.

It explains the expected gratitude, the tolerance for delayed salaries, the assumption that you are reachable on Sunday, and the genuinely wounded reaction when somebody resigns for more money.

A transaction where one side believes it is doing a favour will always have unstable terms. The Indian employee who negotiates gets seen as ungrateful rather than rational, and any attempt at upward mobility is seen as disrespectful.

The fact that nearly every middle class household requires a dedicated reverse osmosis water purifier is a massive indictment of municipal failure. Providing clean tap water is a solved engineering problem globally but remains an elusive luxury across the entire subcontinent.

My CIBIL score dropped by 150 points. I found loans of 50K and 25K taken fraudulently using my PAN. I raised a dispute with the company over a month ago, but the accounts are still active. Please help or RT for visibility. 🙏

@malpani if you sue someone, you pay the price even though you are right.

[Dr Aniruddha Malpani, MD @malpani]

The real reason for corruption in India is our inefficient judiciary . If citizens felt they could get justice quickly ,many more would fight for their rights and sue officers who ask for bribes ! Today ,it's cheaper and quicker ( and more rational ) to pay the bribe

[Rants&Roasts @Sydusm]

India is more corrupt than poor.

From constable to minister, corruption is not an exception here. It is the system.

Between those two ends, sit a hundred layers of middlemen, clerks, officers, fixers and brokers, each taking their share, each shaving something off your dignity before they let you pass.

Bribe, commission hafta, donation, fund.

Different names for the same theft.

It is so common that it no longer shocks anyone. Like dust in the air, you breathe it in without noticing. Like the common cold, everyone has it, and nobody thinks it can be cured.

Poverty is not the disease. Poverty is the scar.

This country never lacked wealth. It lacked conscience. We had land, labour, talent, opportunity. Corruption simply diverted the flow, siphoned it away, made sure what belonged to millions ended up with a few.

What should have built schools built farmhouses. What should have built hospitals built lockers full of cash. What should have built futures built empires.

And we called it normal.

Corruption did not sneak in. It was welcomed, fed, protected and then dressed up as procedure.

Give a man a chair and he starts selling access to the table. Give him a stamp and he starts charging for the ink. Give him authority and he starts extorting as if it is his birthright.

The taker feels no shame. The giver feels no outrage. Because there is no option.

You pay or you wait. You pay or you suffer. You pay or you disappear inside the system.

Complain and you meet another thief. Report and you report to his senior. The chain is perfectly designed to protect itself.

Those viral seizures of notes, gold bars, luxury cars, sprawling properties, stuffed bank lockers are not the scandal.

They are souvenirs. The real corruption is quieter and far more brutal. It lives in everyday transactions. In files that refuse to move. In signatures that cost money. In rules that bend only for those who can pay.

It is not spectacular. It is routine. And that is what makes it terrifying.

We keep blaming politicians as if corruption sits only in parliament. It does not.

It sits in offices, stations, counters, contracts, classrooms, hospitals and sometimes in us.

We like to believe we are victims looking at the iceberg.
We are not looking at it. We are standing on it.

We are the iceberg.

A few months back, a friend was stopped by a traffic policeman because his pollution under control certificate had expired by two days. The car was barely a year old, so there was little chance it was actually breaching pollution norms. The policeman approached him asked the cost of the car and then remarked slyly, “Bas aap mehanga car kharidiye… hum log kaise kharidenge?” My friend understood the hint and paid the bribe that was being demanded.

Last week, while I was teaching my son to ride a bicycle on a service road, an e-rickshaw driver abruptly stopped right in front of him. It could easily have caused an accident. When I shouted at him, instead of apologizing, he replied arrogantly, “Sadak aapka kharida hua nahi hai… jahan mann karega wahan rokenge.”

A similar undertone became visible during the recent protests in Noida. Among the concerns raised, one was the price of gas cylinders touching ₹4000. But an even stronger emotional trigger was the anger directed at visible wealth. Many people mentioned that how factory owners could ride Mercedes and BMWs while workers earned ₹12,000 a month. The resentment was less about wages and more about the visible contrast between lifestyles.

The rich-poor divide is not new, and resentment around inequality has existed in every society. But in India, this divide has become sharper and more visible over the last two decades. Economic liberalization and the IT boom in the early 2000s created new opportunities and upward mobility for many. And after 2010, MNCs, banks, and trading firms accelerated income growth for many skilled professionals. But, after 2015, the startup wave and easier capital influx created sudden huge wealth for a younger generation. The fresh graduates began earning salaries that dramatically changed the lives of their families.

At the same time, social media was also picking up. It became an obvious platform where these life changes were constantly displayed. For the people experiencing this rise, these were moments of pride. People shared their “first flight,” “first sedan,” “first international trip,” “luxury hotel stay,” or "I am not an IIT/IIM, but today I can afford better lives then them". Even humblebrags about salary levels or lifestyle upgrades became common.

But for the larger section of society that saw little improvement in their own economic conditions, these posts became constant reminder of increasing inequality. The reasons of slower growth may vary from poor access to education, lack of opportunities, weak policy support, lack of skills, political conditions, location disadvantages, or even social conditioning, but it resulted in one segment rising rapidly while another watching from the sidelines.

The rise of social media influencers has only deepened this divide. Daily content about earning lakhs per month, luxury lifestyles, trading profits, startup success, or financial freedom creates the impression that wealth is unreachable for most people. That perception creates aspiration, but it also creates frustration, jealousy, and anger. When people repeatedly see others moving ahead while they feel stuck, that frustration often spills over into everyday interactions.

If this divide continues to widen, the consequences will go beyond economics. It will show up as rising corruption, lower trust, weakened civic behavior, and growing social resentment.
