India's External Minister, S. Jaishankar, has become one of the world's most closely watched diplomats. From challenging Western criticism on democracy & foreign policy to defending India's national interest, he repeatedly made global headlines.

[Shailendra Sharma @shail2018]

आज सवेरे से मैं और मेरी बेटी “एग्जाम वॉरियर” बने हुए हैं!

सवेरे 9 से 12 तक दिल्ली-हरियाणा बॉर्डर पर IISER की परीक्षा दी।

और फ़िर दोपहर 3 से 5 के बीच यूपी-दिल्ली बॉर्डर पर CUET परीक्षा!

दोनों के बीच की दूरी थी मात्र 61 किलोमीटर!

जैसे ही 12 बजे पहली परीक्षा खत्म हुई, मेरी बेटी उसी तत्परता से भीड़ को चीरते हुए बाहर आई, जैसे हवाई जहाज़ लैंड होने पर कनेक्टिंग फ्लाइट वाले बाहर निकलते हैं!

फिर भी परीक्षा केंद्र से बाहर निकलकर, ट्रैफिक जाम से जूझते हुए, मेन रोड तक आते आते 12:55 हो गए थे!

और अभी हमें 59 किलोमीटर की दूरी तय करनी थी, जो कि उस वक़्त धरती के दूसरे छोर पर जाने जैसी लग रही थी!

गूगल नेविगेटर अगले सेंटर पर पहुँचने का समय 2:18 बता रहा था। 2:30 बजे के बाद एंट्री नहीं हो सकती थी।

ऐसे में, सड़क पर हर रेड लाइट, हर एक रुका हुआ ट्रैफिक दिल की धड़कन बढ़ा रहा था।

ख़ैर, ऊपर वाले की कृपा से हम CUET सेंटर पर 2:12 बजे पहुँच गए, और जब मेरी बेटी सेंटर के अंदर चली गई तब जा के जान में जान आई!

इस सारे घटनाक्रम के बीच मुझे मोदी जी की किताब “एग्जाम वॉरियर” की बड़ी याद आई।

इस किताब में मोदी जी ने बच्चों को टिप्स दिए हैं कि परीक्षा की तैयारी कैसे करें, परीक्षा के दौरान क्या करें, इत्यादि।

पर मोदी जी ने अपनी किताब में ये नहीं बताया, कि जब देश की दो प्रमुख परीक्षा लेने वाली संस्थाएं एक ही दिन में, मात्र चंद घंटों के अंतराल पर, शहर के दो अलग अलग छोर पर परीक्षा लें, तो उसकी तैयारी कैसे करें!!

जिस पैरेंट के पास ख़ुद का ट्रांसपोर्ट न हो, जिसे पब्लिक ट्रांसपोर्ट के ज़रिए दोनों एग्जाम सेंटर पर पहुँचना हो, वो इस सिचुएशन से कैसे डील करे, ये भी मोदी जी ने अपनी किताब में नहीं बताया है!!

यही नहीं, सालों से देश में “डिजिटल इंडिया” की हवा चल रही है, इसी साल सरकार ने "AI" पर अंतरराष्ट्रीय कांफ्रेंस भी करा ली,

पर आवेदक बच्चों के डेटा के आधार पर, आपसी कोआर्डिनेशन के ज़रिए देश की दो राष्ट्रीय संस्थाएं बिना ओवरलैप के परीक्षा की तारीख तय कर सकें, क्या इतनी टेक्नोलॉजी देश में नहीं है?

IISER Aptitude Test यानि #IAT भारत सरकार की एक संस्था करवाती है, देश की 7 प्रीमियर साइंस रिसर्च संस्थाओं के UG कोर्स में दाखिले के लिए।

इसकी परीक्षा पहले से ही 7 जून निर्धारित थी।

इस बीच @NTA_Exams , जो कि भारत सरकार का ही उपक्रम है, उसने #CUET की परीक्षा जो कि 28 मई को होनी थी, उसे बदलकर 31 मई, 6 और 7 जून को कर दिया!

इन दोनों ही संस्थाओं के पास एप्लिकेंट छात्रों का सारा डेटा मौज़ूद है!

ऐसे में अगर भारत सरकार के ये दोनों “सूरमा” आपस में बात करके एक “ओवरलैप डिटेक्ट” करने का प्रोग्राम कंप्यूटर पर चला लेते, तो NTA को 5 मिनट में पता चल जाता कि किस बच्चे का टेस्ट 7 जून को नहीं कराना है!

ऐसे बच्चों की परीक्षा 31 मई या 6 जून वाले समूह के साथ हो सकती थी!

पर नहीं, इंडिया भले डिजिटल बन जाये, पर ये डिजिटल नहीं बनेंगे!

इन्हें तो बस देश भर के बच्चों और उनके पैरेंट्स को “एग्जाम वॉरियर” बनाना है!!

ख़ैर, और कुछ हो या न हो, मोदी जी को अब “एग्जाम वॉरियर” का अगला संस्करण जल्द निकालना चाहिए,

बहुत सारे "मुद्दे" इकट्ठा हो गए हैं, मोदी जी की "टिप्स" के लिए…

I've nothing personal against Shamika Ravi. But saying poverty has almost been eradicated in India and justifying all economic disasters is not expected from Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council.

I don't know how many of you remember Montek Singh Ahluwalia. He was in a similar position in the previous governments. He never used to dress up anything. He was always factual and tried his best to find workable solutions. As a technocrat, his communications were never political.

We need people who acknowledge problems and then work towards addressing them.

Worth it, to Understand :)

India apparel exports are $15.7 billion, Bangladesh does $51 billion, Vietnam does $39.4 billion Indian entrepreneurs run garment factories in six countries abroad but won't expand capacity at home.

Problem is not talent or demand perhaps It is the compliance maze, state level friction and a policy system that rewards capital heavy sectors over the ones that absorb people.

The sectors India needs most for mass employment are the exact ones being slowly starved by its own policy design

Apple iPhones and Samsung alone make up $30 billion of India $47 billion electronics exports. Remove smartphones and India broader export basket grew barely 1% in FY26.

One PLI success in mobile phones is doing the heavy lifting for 13 other sectors that never found their export footing.

Headline numbers look strong but they are one product deep. That is not diversified manufacturing growth, that is a single bet

43% of India workforce still sits in agriculture, The sectors that can pull those workers into factories, garments, leather, food processing, are the ones contracting.

Wearing apparel fell 5.3%, leather fell 4.1%, Meanwhile capital goods grew 14.6% in January. India is building an industrial economy that generates output without generating jobs where they are needed.

The GDP math works well, the employment math does not. And no amount of infra spending fixes that mismatch on its own.

Even I told in past in my tweets that China moved up a lot in its value chain, but they didn't left the low margin work, job, anything. They are not doing as per reports, even if they are doing it, then choosing proxy nation which is favourable to China like ASEAN, Brazil etc.

The NEET paper leak would probably have stayed buried forever if a school teacher from Sikar had not refused to stay silent.

Shashikant Suthar, a chemistry teacher from Rajasthan, was shown a “guess paper” by one of his neighbors after the NEET exam. That PDF had reportedly been circulating in Telegram groups for weeks.

Out of curiosity, he matched it with the real exam paper.

The result was terrifying.

Around 140 questions were identical. Same sequence. Same wording. Even punctuation marks matched.

He rushed to the local police station expecting immediate action.

Nobody listened.

No FIR.
No urgency.
No investigation.

But instead of giving up, he kept escalating the matter emailing the NTA, PMO, President of India, and CBI while continuously raising the issue online.

Only then did the system move.

Rajasthan Police formed a Special Operations Group. What initially looked like a small leak soon exploded into a nationwide examination scam connected across multiple states.

The case eventually reached the CBI. NEET was cancelled. And investigators uncovered an organized network of professional paper leak operators.

This entire scandal was exposed because one ordinary teacher decided that remaining silent was not an option.

Sometimes one honest citizen is more powerful than an entire broken system.

#FDI in #India is now negative. That is to say, more investor money is going out of India than is coming in. What has happened over the last ten years is that we have substituted government investment, that is, public infrastructure investment, for private investment - @surjitbhalla (Ex-Executive Director, IMF)

#FDI is part of the problem, but the much bigger issue is the slowdown in domestic investment. The heart of the question is: why are Indians not willing to invest in India?- Pronab Sen (Fmr Economic Adviser, Planning Commission)

A rare India-positive piece in @washingtonpost: “The BJP is consolidating power just as India takes its place among the world’s great powers: largest by population, second-largest by military personnel, on the way to becoming third-largest by economy, and the only nation with the potential to counterbalance China in Asia.”

The piece argues, “More votes have been cast for Modi than for any politician in human history, by a margin in the hundreds of millions. Modi has comfortably outperformed every other democratically elected leader in the world in Morning Consult’s global leader approval tracker for many years, despite the longevity of his tenure.” https://t.co/kt4N0fYJgl

The “Tiger Mom” philosophy that shaped much of East and South Asian success is built on beliefs:

- Excellence is expected
- Education is the surest path to security, status and success
- Discipline, obedience and relentless effort matter more than comfort
- Children are capable of greatness if pushed hard enough

Demanding? Yes.
Stressful? Often.
But these moms have shaped some of the world’s highest-performing societies.

[Nirupama Menon Rao 🇮🇳 @NMenonRao]

Why does so much Indian TV news sound permanently out of breath/breathless? Every debate feels like a national emergency, every headline like a battlefield dispatch. Anchors speak in rising crescendos, panels shout over one another, graphics often flash like alarm systems. The Iran war for instance is depicted on screen framed in flames and “mahayudh” screaming all over it. We are unique in this pitch of constant crescendo.

It is not merely a broadcasting style. It reflects something deeper about us.

Our television news evolved in the age of ratings wars, political spectacle and 24/7 competition for attention. Calmness came to be mistaken for dullness. Excitement became a business model.

Nationalism, grievance, triumphalism, insecurity, outrage, aspiration, wounded pride, civilisational assertion, all coexist simultaneously. The result is a media register that sounds permanently adrenalised.

But older Indian broadcasting was very different. Listen to archival Doordarshan clips from the 1970s or 80s. The tone was measured, restrained, even austere. News was delivered as information, not performance.

Television producers have learned that perpetual urgency creates emotional addiction. If everything is historic, explosive, shocking, decisive, existential, viewers remain physiologically engaged. The problem, of course, is exhaustion. Nations cannot permanently exist at emotional fever pitch without consequences for public discourse.

Today we often sound perpetually excited, perpetually mobilised, perpetually “on”. Perhaps television has become the mirror of a society itself in emotional overdrive: restless, aspirational, anxious, performative, seeking validation every minute.

The irony is that true authority rarely needs to shout. Confidence usually speaks in a quieter voice. So the raised pitch is not just acoustics. Today the country is increasingly performing itself to itself.

And yes, I know I am about to be eaten alive for saying this, on Indian television and social media alike. That is perfectly fine. But perhaps it is time we introspected a little on what we have become, and why we now seem unable simply to speak to one another in a normal tone.

Much of our television news increasingly resembles coloratura without pause: high-pitched, breathless, emotionally over-ornamented, forever climbing toward some impossible crescendo. Every night, the nation seems to be singing at full volume.

But societies cannot live permanently at operatic pitch. At some point, we must learn again the power of modulation, silence, restraint, and calm.

लालकृष्ण आडवाणी ने नब्बे के दशक में कहा था BJP - Party With a Difference है यानी बाकी पार्टियों से बीजेपी अलग है.

पश्चिम बंगाल की कलिता माझी चार घरों में झाड़ू पोछा बर्तन धोने का काम करती थीं.

37 साल की कलिता माझी को 2021 में बीजेपी ने टिकट दिया. तब वो चुनाव हार गयीं. हारने के बाद भी घरों में काम करना जारी रखा.

इस बार बीजेपी ने दुबारा टिकट दिया. कलिता माझी ने टीएमसी उम्मीदवार को औसग्राम सीट से 12,000 वोटों से पराजित कर दिया.

इस चुनाव ड्राइवर का बेटा, ऑटो ड्राइवर और घरेलू काम करने वाली महिला विधायक बन रही है. आप हम बीजेपी के कितने भी विरोधी हैं लेकिन एक गरीब दलित महिला को विधानसभा पहुंचाने का श्रेय बीजेपी जाता ही है.

[KV Iyyer - BHARAT 🇮🇳🇮🇱 @BanCheneProduct]

Late Shri Manohar Parrikar Ji once narrated his ordeal.

"I'm from Parra, a village in Goa, so we're called 'Parrikars.' My village is famous for its watermelons. When I was a child, the farmers there held a 'Watermelon Eating Contest' in May, after the harvest. All the children were invited and asked to eat as many watermelons as they wanted.

Many years later, I went to IIT Mumbai to study engineering. Then I returned to my village after 6.5 years. I went to the market to look for watermelons. But they were gone. The ones I found were very small.

I went to meet the farmer who used to hold the 'Watermelon Eating Contest.' Now his son had taken his place. He still held the contest, but there was a difference. When the old farmer offered us watermelons to eat, he would ask us to spit the seeds into a bowl. We were forbidden to chew the seeds. He was collecting seeds for the next crop.

We were, in effect, unpaid child laborers.

He would keep his best watermelons for the competition, using them as the best. He obtained good seeds, which produced even bigger watermelons the next year. When his son arrived, he thought the larger ones would fetch a higher price in the market, so he started selling the larger ones and keeping the smaller ones for competition. The next year, the watermelons grew smaller, and the next even smaller. A watermelon generation lasts one year.

In seven years, Parra's best watermelons were wiped out. In humans, a generation changes every 25 years. In 200 years, we will realize the mistakes we were making in educating our children.

Selecting good seeds, that is, talent, is a huge task in itself. Due to irrelevant ideas and useless things, our good watermelons will go to market, leaving us with useless, inferior seeds.

We must think about this in today's context.

[Dr Mouth Matters @GanKanchi]

MUST READ Unbelievable & SHOCKING INFORMATION.

DD Podhigai telecast an interview with Mr P M Nair, (retired IAS officer, who was the Secretary to Dr. Abdul Kalam Sir when he was the President.)

I summarise the points he spoke in a voice choked with emotion.

Mr Nair authored a book titled "Kalam Effect"

1. Dr Kalam used to receive costly gifts whenever he went abroad as it is customary for many nations to give gifts to the visiting Heads of State.

Refusing the gift would become an insult to the nation and an embarrassment for India.

So, he received them and on his return, Dr Kalam asked the gifts to be photographed and then catalogued and handed over to the archives.

Afterwards, he never even looked at them. He did not take even a pencil from the gifts received when he left Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

2. In 2002, the year Dr Kalam took over, the Ramadan month came in July-August.

It was a regular practice for the President to host an iftar party.

Dr Kalam asked Mr Nair why he should host a party to people who are already well fed and asked him to find out how much would be the cost.

Mr Nair told it would cost around Rs. 22 lakhs.

Dr Kalam asked him to donate that amount to a few selected orphanages in the form of food, dresses and blankets.

The selection of orphanages was left to a team in Rashtrapathi Bhavan and Dr Kalam had no role in it.

After the selection was made, Dr Kalam asked Mr Nair to come inside his room and gave him a cheque for Rs 1 lakh.

He said that he was giving some amount from his personal savings and this should not be informed to anyone.

Mr Nair was so shocked that he said "Sir, I will go outside and tell everyone . People should know that here is a man who not only donated what he should have spent but he is giving his own money also".

Dr Kalam though he was a devout Muslim did not have Iftar parties in the years in which he was the President.

3. Dr Kalam did not like "Yes Sir" type of people.

Once when the Chief Justice of India had come and on some point Dr Kalam expressed his view and asked Mr Nair,
"Do you agree?" Mr Nair said "

No Sir, I do not agree with you".
The Chief Justice was shocked and could not believe his ears.

It was impossible for a civil servant to disagree with the President and that too so openly.

Mr Nair told him that the President would question him afterwards why he disagreed and if the reason was logical 99% he would change his mind.

4. Dr Kalam invited 50 of his relatives to come to Delhi and they all stayed in Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

He organised a bus for them to go around the city which was paid for by him.

No official car was used. All their stay and food was calculated as per the instructions of Dr Kalam and the bill came to Rs 2 lakhs which he paid.

In the history of this country no one has done it.

Now, wait for the climax, Dr Kalam's elder brother stayed with him in his room for the entire one week as Dr Kalam wanted his brother to stay with him.

When they left, Dr Kalam wanted to pay rent for that room also.

Imagine the President of a country paying rent for the room in which he is staying.

This was any way not agreed to by the staff who thought the honesty was getting too much to handle!!!.

5. When Kalam Sir was to leave Rashtrapathi Bhavan at the end of his tenure, every staff member went and met him and paid their respects.

Mr Nair went to him alone as his wife had fractured her leg and was confined to bed. Dr Kalam asked why his wife did not come. He replied that she was in bed due to an accident.

Next day, Mr.Nair saw lot of policemen around his house and asked what had happened.

They said that the President of India was coming to visit him in his house. He came and met his wife and chatted for some time.

Mr Nair says that no president of any country would visit a civil servant's house and that too on such a simple pretext.

I thought I should give the details as many of you may not have seen the telecast and so it may be useful.

The younger brother of APJ Abdul Kalam runs an umbrella repairing shop.

When Mr. Nair met him during Kalam’s funeral, he touched his feet, in token of respect for both Mr. Nair and Brother.

Such information should be widely shared on social media as mainstream media will not show this because it doesn't carry the so-called GB TRP

The property left behind by Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam was estimated.
_
He owned
6 pants(2 DRDO uniforms)
4 shirts(2 DRDO uniforms)
3 suits (1 western, 2 Indian)
2500 books
1 flat (which he has donated)
1 Padmashri
1 Padmabhushan
1 Bharat Ratna
16 doctorates
1 website
1 twitter account
1 email id

He didn't have any TV, AC, car, jewellery, shares, land or bank balance.

He had even donated the last 8 years' pension towards the development of his village.

He was a real patriot and true Indian

India will for ever be grateful to you, sir.
