Reminds me of the 6 stages of Aristotle's theory of Democracy which he gave 2350 yrs back.

In final stage the Democracy takes the form of "Mobocracy". His exact words 2350 yrs back were ~ "Over time, citizens take their freedoms for granted and develop a heavy sense of entitlement.
Unprincipled populists and demagogues exploit public grievances, using passion and entertainment rather than logic to manipulate the masses. Laws are ignored, and brute force dictating the whims of the crowd overrides institutional stability".

Anyways the modern form of democracy which originated through England'sbill of rights (1688), which was the direct result of Glorious revolution of 1688 and later cemented through American declaration of Independence (1776) and French revolution (1789) is unfit to deal with Islamist manipulation of democratic system and Mob rule in India. A new form is required now known as "Limited democracy".

But in Indian context, bcs of the inherent corrupt nature of the people that too will fail.

India's rise was always going to invite resistance.

Not because India is weak - but because it is no longer willing to remain weak and meek.

Now that Sonam Wangchuk ended his fast and chose to place his trust in the Indian government, let's talk.

The people trying to manufacture unrest or anarchy or even talk about regime change in Delhi still don't understand how Indian democracy actually works.

Governments in India are not changed through street battles.

They are changed through elections.

But did all of this it all start a few months ago when US Deputy Secretary Christopher Landau candidly admitted that America would not "make the same mistake" with India that it made with China by allowing it to become a commercial competitor?

That one statement revealed an uncomfortable geopolitical truth: every major power understands that India's rise will fundamentally reshape the global balance.

Now look at what is happening in Delhi.

My reading is that these protests are not merely about examinations.

They are part of a much larger effort to weaken the Indian State at a politically sensitive moment.

Parliament has convened. The government is preparing to move politically significant legislation, including measures such as the FCRA amendments and delimitation. The Opposition knows the numbers inside Parliament are against it.

So is the battle now being shifted outside Parliament?

That is my reading.

If you cannot stop legislation through votes, create enough disorder that Parliament itself becomes the story.

That is the heinous conspiracy I believe India must recognise.

Every rising power faces attempts to weaken it from within.

Not through tanks.

Through narratives.

Through information warfare.

Through street mobilisation.

Through foreign influence.

Through ideological ecosystems.

Although anyone dreaming of a Bangladesh or Nepal-style regime-change script fundamentally misunderstands India.

Indian governments rise and fall through elections.

Not through street violence.

Not through organised anarchy.

Not through foreign-funded influence networks.

Not through deep-state operations.

The Indian voter - not the loudest mob - decides who governs India.

That is the strength of Indian democracy.

And anyone trying to replace the ballot with the barricade will ultimately lose.

The hate Argentina got this tournament made me realize how easy it is to brainwash and program people. Would love to see someone publish work on this some day as it’s a very interesting case study.

🚨 Leo Messi: “We know the World Cup is something special for us, it helps us forget, even for a while, all the hardships one goes through.

"There are people without jobs, people who struggle to make it to the end of the month, who are fighting every single day."

"We’re proud and happy to be able to give this joy to the people."

Diego Simeone on watching Lionel Messi from the stands during Argentina’s comeback against Egypt:

🗣️“I was sitting in the stands, and I’ll admit something I’ve never admitted before I was close to tears when Egypt scored their second goal. The stadium suddenly felt silent to me. I looked around and saw thousands of Argentine fans with their heads down. It hurt because I knew how much this meant to them.

“Then I looked at Messi. He wasn’t complaining. He wasn’t looking for excuses. He simply picked up the ball and his body language said, ‘We’re not finished.’ At that moment, I told myself, ‘As long as Leo is on that pitch, I will believe.’

“Every time he touched the ball, you could feel the energy in the stadium changing. The fear disappeared. The hope came back. It was as if 80,000 people were breathing again because Messi had decided the story wasn’t over.

“When Argentina completed the comeback, I couldn’t hold my emotions anymore. I stood there in the stands with tears in my eyes. Not because of the scoreline, but because I had just watched a man who has already conquered football refuse to give up on his country.

“Then I saw Messi crying after the final whistle… and I lost it. Those tears weren’t from a player who had won another match. They were from a captain who loves his country with everything he has. That’s something no statistic can ever explain.

“People ask why Messi is different. It’s because he doesn’t just make you admire football he makes you feel it. Tonight, from the stands, he reminded me why millions of Argentines never stop believing while he’s wearing that shirt.

“When I left the stadium, I wasn’t thinking about tactics or statistics. I was thinking about how lucky we are to still witness a player who can make an entire nation cry, smile, and dream again in the space of ninety minutes.”

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

🚨❤️ Leo Messi: "Thanks to this team and these teammates, I can be at another World Cup today and I can keep competing. Like I said before, I know they make an extra effort so that I can keep competing and they do it from the heart because they truly feel it, it's not forced.

"The truth is that I am deeply grateful and I am very happy to compete alongside them, my teammates. They are friends. It’s a very beautiful, very united group. It makes me happy to hear all those affectionate words."

"Licha's words? Yes, I know that Lisandro has a lot of affection for me, just like this whole group does. They always have a kind word and they show it to me day after day. Honestly, I am happy.

"Even though I already know how they feel, because Licha is also a very close person to me and he tells me things directly, so I already knew."
