@RShivshankar The vision with which this Government operates is something India has never seen in the past... And there is minimal coverage on such achievements.. Thanks Rahul... Thanks @narendramodi
@1shankarsharma@T_Investor_ How are you able to nurture so much negativity within yourself. That's a great achievement in itself... That's like India clocking 25% GDP YoY for the next 25 Yrs.. Don't lose it... Keep feeding it...
Every single one of the points are a real problem.
But your understanding is broken, let me explain. :)
Norway has 55 lakh people. Total. That’s smaller than the population of Pune. Their entire country has fewer citizens than India’s 25 smallest cities individually. Norway also has 1.2 trillion dollars in sovereign wealth from oil reserves, accumulated over 50 years.
They have $250,000 per citizen sitting in the fund. India has roughly $3,400 per citizen in forex reserves.
Norway is what you get when a small population sits on top of one of the largest per-capita oil discoveries in human history.
The right comparison is other low-income, high-population, post-colonial democracies. Brazil. Indonesia. Nigeria. Bangladesh. Pakistan. Egypt. Mexico. South Africa. Vietnam. Philippines.
Compare on these and India isn’t doing badly. It’s doing better than most.
UPI is the world’s largest real-time payments system.
Aadhaar is the world’s largest biometric identity system.
We absorbed the global pandemic, the Ukraine war, the West Asia conflict, Trump’s tariffs, the Iran war, and a rupee fall without going into recession.
Most of those countries above did. Pakistan went to the IMF 24 times. Sri Lanka collapsed. Bangladesh is unstable. Egypt needed emergency Gulf bailouts. Argentina has 60% inflation. We stayed standing.
India is the only country in human history to add a trillion dollars of GDP every 18 months. We added our first trillion in 2007. Our second in 2017. Our third in 2024. Our fourth coming in 2026.
The problems you mentioned exist in every large, low-income, high-density country on earth.
Mexico City’s pollution is worse than Delhi’s.
Manila’s traffic is worse than Mumbai’s.
Lagos has worse road quality than Delhi.
Jakarta has worse air than Delhi.
Cairo has worse adulteration.
Karachi has more corruption.
Hanoi has higher pollution.
None of these countries are run by Modi. They’re all dealing with the same impossible math.
Industrialising a country of 145 crore people during a global energy transition, with limited natural resources, while keeping democracy intact, is the single hardest governance challenge in human history.
> China did it without democracy.
> South Korea did it with a population one-tenth our size.
> Japan did it with no major religious or linguistic diversity.
> Singapore did it with 50 lakh people total.
Nobody has done it at India’s scale, with our diversity, in democratic conditions.
So when someone asks “why hasn’t Modi built one city like Norway,” the answer is because building one Norway requires not having 144.5 crore other Indians to look after.
Nifty's mood swings: ADANIENT & TECHM fly high like Bollywood heroes in a blockbuster, while BHARTIARTL & WIPRO play the tragic roles. Meanwhile, Indef Manufacturing's plot twist - profit plunges despite rising sales! Who's writing this script? 🎬 #Nifty#StockMarket
@indhavaainko@rajinikanth That's the problem of the times we live in... A media always hungry for controversy creating false narratives where none exists.. Sociamedia views hungry content creators create and circulate these.... It's a curse.. !!
I have been frequenting @StarbucksIndia quite regularly for last 6-7 Yrs... But I feel increasingly they become obnoxious sales machine with too much upselling and quality also seems to be going down. Is that only me !!???
Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.
The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.
This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.
A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.
@IndianTechGuide Single city metro for each phase takes 6 yrs and beyond. Financial and ridership realities change in between. May be by the time this comes.. world has moved to something thrice as fast.. let's see how this unfolds
@IndianTechGuide It will be 10 Yrs at the minimum before we get here. So lets not overhype this. Yes.... Idea wise great initiative... Fruits are too far away
