This is blasphemy. These converts are creating and spreading such anti-Hindu propaganda. Shame on @instagram @Meta for allowing these on their platforms.

Can this 🍚 💼 converted 🐑 do a similar video on Ola or puppet mo’mad and survive?

Hindus you know what to do. Report max. Provided link in reply.

Horror in Bihar's Begusarai: Five men barged into the house of a woman, locked up her husband, and gang-raped her after dragging her to a secluded spot.

The case took a disturbing turn when doctors recovered a live bullet, a stone, and a piece of wood during her medical treatment, revealing the extreme brutality of the assault.

Police say a scientific investigation is underway and the accused will be arrested soon.

One of these men once said, "The Hindus are a foul race" and caused millions of deaths in India. One of these men was revered by Brown Sepoys. When one of these men died, the Tricolour was lowered in India in his honour.

Raakh is facing backlash for adding caste and religious spin to the infamous Ranga-Billa case.

From Dahaad to Tandav, Prime Video has repeatedly pushed similar ideological narratives in Indian stories.

Creative liberty cannot become a cover for twisting real events and vilifying Hindus.

नृपेंद्र मिश्रा ने कह दिया है कि राम मंदिर चंदा डकैती के विषय में मुख्य दायित्व SBI के लोगों का था। यानी, किसी छोटे कर्मचारी आदि को बलि का बकरा बनाया जाएगा।

किसने गिनने वालों को (या चुराने वालों को) सुरक्षा की क्लीयरेंस दी, आखिर नोटों की गड्डियाँ मंदिर के त्रिस्तरीय सुरक्षा चक्र के बाद भी ले जाने में इतनी ढील किसके कहने पर बरती गई?

आभूषणों का ऑ���िट दैनिक/साप्ताहिक/मासिक कभी हुआ है? क्या उसकी गिनती, भार आदि का कोई वीडियो है? असली चुरा कर कोई नकली रख दे, क्या उसके लिए कोई व्यवस्था है?

मंदिर से जुड़े लोगों की संपत्ति में हुई बढ़ोतरी, उनके परिजनों की संपत्ति में हुई बढ़ोतरी भी जाँच के दायरे में होनी चाहिए। पर ऐसा कुछ नहीं होगा, क्योंकि उसमें उच्च पदस्थ लोग भी अपराधी दिखेंगे।

हिन्दुओं की आस्था के साथ ऐसा खिलवाड़ @narendramodi और @myogiadityanath के शासनकाल में होगा, यह मेरे स्वप्न में भी नहीं था। भाजपा और उनके ‘भारत मंडपम्’ समर्थकों का चुप्पी बहुत कुछ कहती है।

I ran across this video a few days ago and couldn’t stop watching it.

It’s about something ordinary & boring, a plastic gas lighter. But it changes how one thinks about manufacturing.

That lighter in so many of our homes, holds pressurised gas. It has over 30 microscopic parts, has to pass international safety codes, & travel 10,000 miles by sea, & the total cost of doing all that, materials, labour, freight, every middleman along the way, comes to fifteen U.S cents.

So how does anyone make money on this?

Turns out almost the entire world’s supply comes from one place: a county called Shaodong, in China’s Hunan province.

It wasn’t always there.

But today, Shaodong has 114 lighter-related companies packed into the place & between them they source more than 200 different components from each other, all within a 20-kilometre radius. They supply something like seventy percent of the world’s disposable lighters. And the industry alone employs over 80,000 people locally.

Nobody there is winning on cheap labour anymore. They’re winning by shaving a thousandth of a cent off the thickness of a plastic wall, or redesigning a base so a few thousand more units fit into the same shipping container.

It took my thoughts back to an old professor of mine, Michael Porter.
His 1980 book, Competitive Strategy, is still the 1st book most MBAs read, the one that gave the world the Five Forces and basically invented modern strategic thinking.

But there’s a quieter piece of his work, on industrial clusters, that never got nearly the same attention, and it is the one that explains exactly what is happening in Shaodong.

His argument was that nations and regions rarely win because of cheap inputs. They win when rival firms and specialist suppliers crowd into the same small geography for long enough that they keep pushing each other past what any one of them could manage alone. He found it in the Swiss watchmaking towns of the Jura, in the German printing press industry and in Italy’s ceramic tile and footwear districts (interestingly, it’s the SAME blueprint which built Morbi, in Gujarat, into the world’s second-largest ceramic cluster, now outproducing Italy by volume. I have posted before, about Morbi)

None of these started out as giants. The neighbourhood made them giants.

Which is exactly why it’s so relevant to India’s climb up the global manufacturing table

I’ve also attached a slide with this post that I saw recently and which shows us breaking into the top 5 manufacturing globally. (A quick reference check told me that we may not have overtaken Korea yet, but the trajectory’s clear)

That climb has happened on the back of scale: bigger plants, bigger parks, more FDI.

I should declare an interest here, because the Mahindra Group set up 2 of India’s first integrated, plug-and-play business cities, in Chennai in 2002 & Jaipur in 2006.

Both have been extremely successful. Chennai’s business zone alone today employs 45,000 people..

But I admit that we need to think differently.

A park brings in investors and hands them a ready plot, power, water & roads

A cluster is a completely different animal: hundreds of small, specialised suppliers, each obsessed with doing a tiny thing better than anyone else, feeding off each other’s presence for years until no outsider can compete with the whole.

I think that’s the work ahead of us now.

Not just more factories, and not just more parks.

Policymakers & developers like us need to start consciously pulling as many of the inputs and resources a sector needs, the toolmakers, the component suppliers, the testing labs, the logistics specialists, into the same neighbourhood.

Shaodong and Morbi both got there by accident, one town stumbling onto a way to shave a thousandth of a cent off a lighter wall, the other discovering it had the clay and, later, the gas pipeline for tiles.

We don’t have the luxury of waiting for accidents anymore.

We need to do it on purpose

Apparently “Indira Gandhi” is Turkish slang for “misusing public money, stealing, embezzling”. How appropriate!
