Only reason why PM Modi keeps asking us not to travel outside. The more we travel, more we get to see world class infrastructure and quality of life.
Less travel, less exposure to other side of world, less comparison to our broken system, less demand, less questions to the Govt.
A tyrant must appear deeply religious. People are less likely to fear injustice from a ruler they believe is pious. They are also less likely to rebel because they think God is on his side. ~ Aristotle
If one newspaper telling the truth can cause this much of a stir, imagine if the entire media had done its job. This government wouldn’t have survived five years.

When you know the votes are slipping away, you don’t win the voters—you win the numbers. I filled out the SIR form, followed up repeatedly, and was lucky to remain on the voter list. Many weren’t. This is a scandal of the highest order. It’s a direct assault on democracy.
Now Cockroach Janta Party is demanding resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar else they'll hit the streets.
The Dharmendra Pradhan resignation has shown a way to bring this Govt under pressure. And Govt itself is responsible for it. If they had sacked Dharmendra Pradhan without waiting for people to hit the street, they would've been in a place to manage without coming under pressure.
Now for everything there will be street protest and anarchy, definitely not good for country but when Govt isn't listening then there is no other option left either.
The biggest win of BJP has been to convince it's hardcore followers that anyone opposing them are part of this major global-funded toolkit or something. It's so hilarious if you think of it. Bhai tum duniya ke sabse rayees political party ho. Har jagah tum advertisements post kare jaa rahe ho. Birthday tum aise mana rahe ho jaise Diwali ho. American isharo pe ta thaiya tum kar rahe ho. Baaki saare parties nange se pade hai bina paise ke. Par apne logo ko mana rakha hai ki hum kisi se kuch paise deke nahi bulwa rahe, yeh bure log aise kar rahe hai.
Sahi hai bhai.
Removing Gyanesh Kumar is not enough.
The next election commissioner MUST be appointed by a panel of PM, Leader of Opposition and CJI. Only a person chosen by all three 'ayes' would be deserving of the post.
Modi cannot be trusted, he will install another puppet otherwise.
This Gyanesh Kumar issue has thrown up an important question - If the Election Commission omits names from SIR, is it an error of commission or error of omission?
Exactly 32 years ago, the Shawshank Redemption was released in the US, and it was a theatrical flop, recovering just $16 million in its first run.
But like Andy Dufresne, the film came back. Word of mouth made sure it dominated the video rental market, its re-release made $73 million dollars and it is still gets huge audiences. Today, it is regarded as a classic, the highest rated film on IMDB and preserved in the Library of Congress as a film of cultural significance.
