Mahindra is probably the only car company that’s hated less for its products, but more for its customers.

Pakis invent positive cab driver stories. NRIs invent negative (on India) cab driver stories. We are basically the same only;)

Recently released Raakh joins a pattern that has settled into Indian content - Creative Rewriting in the name of Creative Liberty.

The 1978 Ranga-Billa case is dramatised on screen, but Inspector VP Gupta, who led the real investigation, is rewritten as SI Jayprakash Jatav, a Dalit officer battling caste prejudice in the force.

The pattern is not isolated.

Jai Bhim (2021) dramatised a real police torture case in which the brutal officer was Christian.
- The film recoded him on screen as a Hindu Vanniyar, with the community's sacred Agni Kundam symbol in the background.
- A legal notice eventually forced the filmmakers to blur it.

Soorarai Pottru, the 2020 film on Air Deccan founder Captain GR Gopinath, recast him on screen as a fierce Dravidian disciple of Periyar.
- Gopinath himself comes from an Iyengar background.
- The achievement on screen was real. The identity attached to it had been switched.

IC 814 kept the hijackers' onboard codenames Bhola and Shankar foregrounded on screen.
- The men's real Pakistani names — Ibrahim Athar, Shahid Akhtar Sayeed, Sunny Ahmed Qazi — barely featured.

Traditional creative liberty compresses time, combines minor figures, invents dialogue.

What is emerging is different. The identity of a real person is swapped to attach a political narrative to their story.

For most viewers, the screen version replaces the historical record.

@CranksCorner in @SwarajyaMag with writes how cinematic shortcut crosses into ideological rewriting, and why the line is worth holding even when the individual films are well-made.

A few bakchods on Indian Twitter decided to talk about Chinese caste system in their free time, and managed to rattle the mighty Chinese empire 😂😂

How a single Indian anon (@AgniVesa_07) infiltrated & exposed 42 anti-Indian hate groups...

...And in the process discovered the disturbing role of an Indian political party in all of this.

राम मंदिर ट्रस्ट से दान राशि की चोरी की पुष्टि हो चुकी है। यह खबर अत्यंत वेदनाकारी है। कार्यवाई के नाम पर केवल एसआईटी का गठन संतोषजनक नहीं है। बैंक खाते से पैसा निकालने के संबंध में प्राथमिकी दर्ज हुई है परंतु दान राशि की चोरी की एफआईआर अभी तक नहीं हुई है। बहुत से सवाल उठते हैं। यदि सीसीटीवी फुटेज डिलीट नहीं हुई है तो यह तथ्य बताया जाए। फुटेज को समय-समय पर चैक क्यों नहीं किया गया? सीसीटीवी फुटेज को क्लाउड पर क्यों नहीं स्टोर किया गया? क्या स्टेट बैंक ऑफ़ इंडिया के कर्मचारी गणना के समय नदारद रहते थे? जिस मंदिर के लिए राष्ट्रव्यापी आंदोलन हुआ उसका ऐसा खराब प्रबंधन शर्मनाक है। पूरे मामले में कड़ी कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए और जिम्मेदार लोगों को सजा मिलनी चाहिए।

Hard disagree. I think India is the only military power to enter an escalation and exit it on its own terms successfully.

The exit strategy was impeccable. The escalation was calibrated.

Unbelievable shocks at JEE results, where a candidate scored 99.5 percentile and now it is updated to 55.078 after a month. There is no explanation and no remedy, the child is so bright and even if she attempts today she shall score more than 98. @dpradhanbjp @PreetiChoudhry

The folks dunking on Indian IT industry without building anything have the same energy as our uncles who used to opine on how India can win test matches in Australia.

Sitting on their armchair, potbelly and all, drinking tea they didn't make.

With no idea how it feels when a leather ball thuds into your ribcage at 150 kmph.

Don't be that uncle.
Play.
Build.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

I agree with all you have said except they are not body shoppers, will you call IBM global services, Accenture, Cap Gemini, GCC’s etc who all have used India for tech as body shoppers? Please stop abusing people like this. The people who use this term should themselves build giant cos and show others how they built it to scale. It is not easy to build huge project based cos who are so successful for so long. Yes they are not product cos just like commercial banks are not investment banks or venture funds.
All these loose mouth critics do not understand what they are talking or the industry. What we need are huge venture funded pure product cos. We have very many small cos but they do not scale up here because the market is so small and people do not pay well for products. They will scale up only in the US but that needs huge capital and marketing dollars.

Sap announced EURO 10 billion buyback, Germany’s ai model are not as good as it ne coming from USA or China

[Sai @TheNS_Sai]

Wipro recently initiated a buyback of shares for Rs 15,000 crores. Definitely a investor friendly action but then a investment of 15,000 crores into AI could possibly have tripled investor wealth.
Why the intense opposition to R&D investment ?
Americans invest in Mars, Space Data Centers, Frontier Models, Lab Meat and Self Driving Cars, to name a few.
Why do Indian cash rich conglomerates invest in share buyback, real estate, 5 minute delivery apps, etc ?

@yaajushi Everyone is serving someone, entrepreneurship isn’t jaagir or anyone, people are free to chose their customer(baap) and earn respectful living. Gaali galauch pe baat kyon aati hai ? Koi valid argument nahi hai ?

[Ajey @Paimaamu]

Sovereignty over AI models is just one carefully designed GRPO loop away. We just need to identify the right sectors which also make good sense from a policy perspective.

Banking, finance and other strictly regulated industries is where such methods will create differentiators.

Someone who started as fresher in “sweat shop” and owning “sweat shop” I have different views(obviously).

Landscam isn’t not only for IT companies, in fact baring 3/4 big companies most it service company receives no govt benefits. All big players across the sectors receives such benefits, but we receive max hatred

[Aryaman @AryamanBharat]

I am seriously at my fkin limit.

Time for a new tax framework for IT companies. Put a hefty AI cess. Let them rot , atleast fund some real entrepreneurs with that and a national AI mission. 🫠🫠
