The much-maligned urban middle/upper middle class is the only cohort that lives the idea of India. Productive, pays most of the taxes, truly liberal in life outlook, increasingly identity-agnostic on personal tastes. Only 4-5% of India. Rest.....
The UGC case is a clear reminder: we cannot rely on the government alone.
We must build our own institutions and our own legal strength.
At @hindufund_ we are doing exactly that creating a ₹25 crore legal corpus and building a network of advocates across 700 districts of India
We have become too articulate about our suffering & too inarticulate about our strength. The more elegantly we describe our wounds, the harder it becomes to leave them behind. When a struggle becomes part of your identity, overcoming it feels like a betrayal of who you are.
Indian boomers talk about information warfare more than actually fighting it.
The reality is our info war effort is run by mildly autistic, terminally online, eternally horny zoomers who oscillate between day-dreaming about women in Jhumkas & nuking Pakistan.
