We regret to inform the students in Jharkhand that their protest did not pass the Instagram glamour and vibe check.

This is something all Indians must understand leaving behind politics and ideologies:

The massive boom in India's infrastructure in the last 10 years is undeniable. Be it highways, border roads, airports, trains, metros, or ports - there's a 100-300% increase compared to before. No joke.

I have not seen this level of development and building for decades before. Projects are not just announced but are actually being completed and inaugurated.

When you have this much infrastructure being built by thousands of contractors and companies, there will always be some issues come up. From bad quality here and there to delays in some.

It happens in every country. Even in the most developed and advanced ones like the very large US or very small Singapore. They too have leaking metro stations, roads that cave in, bridges that break, and trains that breakdown.

But only for India, there's a coordinated communist campaign being run online to blackpill Indians by lifting every issue around the large country, amplifying it as the worst that only happens in India, to destroy the credibility of India's development and government.

If you suddenly start building 100,000 kms of highways, using thousands of contractors and hundreds of companies, yes there will be a few kms of bad patch somewhere or a bad contractor doing a shoddy job.

Yet, that is being taken and amplified online to disillusion Indians about their own democracy, destroy their confidence, and derail India's development using their disillusionment. They are made to believe and say "Everything is bad, everything is corrupt."

This is being done in a coordinated way targeting India's youth primarily. Because the adversaries know India's youth have no past experience to judge. And they are the ones who will take India to the future.

They can be easily programmed showing only the glitzy images of Shangai & Shenzen to make them feel sad about their cities. They know by disillusioning them, and destroying their confidence, India's development can be arrested for a long time.

If you as an older adult understand this and the significance of the current infrastructure boom for the future, it is your responsibility to inform at least a few of the people you know offline about what's going on.

It's OK you get challenged, ridiculed, or even abused. Because we know the mental programming and blackpilling is that much these days. Yet, it is important to try make them understand for India's sake.

@ShivAroor The same hypocrisy needs to b highlighted of the "speaking truth to power" journalist brigade as well.
In Delhi they were rightly questioning govt.
In Jharkhand, they're monkey balancing by comparing it as a BJP vs other opposition parties issue, & calling it as political issue

There’s a universal code embedded into every man’s DNA at restaurants.

He will happily tell his loved ones to order everything they want, starters, a three-course meal, drinks, desserts. Won’t even bat an eye. But the second someone reaches for that ₹50 mineral water bottle on the table, alarms go off... "No! DON'T OPEN THAT! Ask for regular water!"

It's universal! Nobody teaches this to one another. It comes naturally. It’s not even about the money; he’ll happily watch you order ₹400 fancy mocktails, but the mineral water bottle is what hurts him. Because it’s about the principles. He knows the game the restaurant is playing with that water, and he refuses to let them win.

Lathicharge in Jantar Mantar and it reaches BBC, NYT and WaPo.

Lathicharge in Ranchi, and it won't even make it to liberal Indian media.

Because narratives are shaped by which side of the political spectrum you are on.

No one talking about "Great Nicobar" wants to hear this.
> When the Atal Setu was being built, a large number of FLAMINGOS used to visit the nearby mudflats.

NGOs warned that construction noise & activity would drive them away forever.

Deputy CM Eknath Shinde recalls that he told officials: use whatever technology is required, but the flamingos must be protected 🦩

> Noise-cancellation methods were deployed.

> Reverse circulation drilling technology was adopted to reduce disturbance.

After the project was completed, the same NGOs were asked to assess the impact.

The flamingo population had INCREASED👏

For years the default script has been the same: Any big project must be stopped in the name of "ENVIRONMENT."

This example shows something different. 
With the right technology and intent, both can coexist❤️

This is so telling

Whenever Cong comes to power, India takes more loans from World Bank

And builds less infrastructure, of course 🤦‍♂️

Dozens of journalists covered the student protest in BJP ruled Delhi with total freedom, while in Opposition ruled Jharkhand @AmanChopra_ is picked up by cops, questioned, and slapped with an FIR.

No outrage. Because Democracy is alive and so is Press Freedom under the Congress.

India’s banking clean-up has a clear before-and-after story.

As former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan noted, “a larger number of bad loans were originated in the period 2006–2008,” with too many loans going to “well-connected promoters” with a history of defaults.

The 2015 Asset Quality Review exposed previously hidden stress, while the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code introduced a time-bound resolution framework. Recapitalisation, recoveries and wider banking-sector reforms further strengthened bank balance sheets.

The result: gross NPAs have fallen from a peak of 11.18% to just 1.80% in March 2026, the lowest level in recorded history.

Bengaluru startup Voxelgrids is making India's first MRI machine, which will reduce scan cost by up to 70%. However, a global giant sought to buy it out. It was funding from Tata Trusts and Sridhar Vembu's Zoho that helped stave off any buyout bids, reveals Arjun Arunachalam, founder and CEO of Voxelgrids.

Goes to show the hypocrisy of the Jantar Mantar protest.

[Nikhil Mehra @TweetinderKaul]

This is exactly as detailed and specific as a response should be. But they should take action against the publication for whatever they find to be definitively false reporting.

For once, the Govt has come up with an excellent and detailed response. Ball's in your court @IndianExpress You have been humiliated here.

How much of India's infrastructure was built after 2014?

• 100% of Dedicated Freight Corridors
• 98% of Solar Capacity
• 85% of the Expressway Network
• 79% of Tap Water Access
• 75% of Metro Rail
• 71% of Port Capacity
• 69% of Railway Electrification
• 60% of 4-Lane National Highways

Infrastructure is built over decades.
But some decades build more than others.
