Repealing Farmers Laws
Had a few questions paused to me. As one of the very first on SM to welcome Farmers’ Laws, I am happy to express my take on the repeal.
1. This is a temporary change in the course of this reform. @narendramodi Ji has studied issues for over 20 years.
When it comes to AI, the world is optimistic about India!
Had a very productive discussion with Mr. Satya Nadella. Happy to see India being the place where Microsoft will make its largest-ever investment in Asia.
The youth of India will harness this opportunity to innovate and leverage the power of AI for a better planet.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: INDIA ROLLS OUT BIGGEST WORKFORCE REFORM IN INDEPENDENT HISTORY 🇮🇳💼🔥
Four Labour Codes finally implemented — transforming how 50 crore Indians work, earn & are protected.
🏛️ A 90-Year Cleanup, Done in One Stroke
After decades of outdated, overlapping, pre-independence labour laws, India has officially replaced 29 old acts with 4 modern Labour Codes — effective 21 November 2025.
Government calls it:
“Historic. Future-ready. Worker-first.”
📜 THE FOUR LABOUR CODES — INDIA’S NEW WORK DNA
✔️ Code on Wages — Minimum wages for ALL workers in ALL sectors
✔️ Industrial Relations Code — Faster dispute resolution, modern employment norms
✔️ Social Security Code — PF, ESI, insurance for gig workers, contract workers, platform workers
✔️ Occupational Safety & Working Conditions Code — Highest-ever national safety standards
💥 WHAT CHANGES FOR WORKERS (IN ONE LINE EACH):
• Appointment letters mandatory for all
• Universal social security — gig, delivery, app workers finally INCLUDED
• Annual health check-up for workers above 40
• Timely wages = compulsory
• Women can work night shifts safely with protection
• Free medical care through nationwide ESIC network
• Minimum wage for everyone — no more “scheduled industry” loopholes
• One licence, one registration, one return → compliance slashed
🎯 SECTOR IMPACT — A REVOLUTION ACROSS INDIA’S WORKFORCE
👷 Contract & Factory Workers → PF + insurance + medical + safety committees
🚚 Gig / Delivery / Platform Workers → Welfare fund from Zomato, Swiggy, Uber etc.
🧑💼 IT / ITES → Salary by 7th of every month mandatory
🏭 MSME → Reduced burden + social security
⛏️ Mines / Hazardous Work → Strict national safety standards
🌾 Traditional Beedi / Plantation → Higher wages & medical coverage
💰 WHY THIS MATTERS:
India’s social security net has jumped from 19% (2015) to 64% (2025).
Now, with the Labour Codes →
Coverage expected to exceed 80% — the highest in India’s history.
🔧 BIG GOVERNANCE SHIFTS
• National Floor Wage for entire India
• Gender-neutral rules (includes protections for transgender workers)
• Faster justice through industrial tribunals
• Inspector → Facilitator model (guidance > harassment)
• Portability across states for migrant & gig workers
🔥 FINAL VERDICT:
From 1930s-era laws to a 2025 workforce framework — India has just executed one of the largest labour reforms on the planet.
A future-ready workforce.
Stronger worker rights.
Simpler business rules.
A giant leap for Aatmanirbhar Bharat. 🇮🇳💼✨

THREAD: The Ghost Who Stared Back: Ajit Doval’s Secret War for Bharat
Some heroes hold swords.
Others walk into the enemy’s den wearing a smile, a fake beard, and no backup.
Ajit Doval was never just a man.
He is Bharat’s eyes in the dark, its mind in the shadows, and when needed, its wrath in silence.
From disguises to diplomacy, espionage to execution; Ajit Doval’s life isn’t a story. It’s a multi-decade operation.
Let me tell you a story.

Great news for the space sector! The Union Cabinet has approved the first step towards the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS), expanding the Gaganyaan programme! This landmark decision brings us closer to a self-sustained space station by 2035 and a crewed lunar mission by 2040!

The Cabinet has accepted the recommendations of the High-Level Committee on Simultaneous Elections. I compliment our former President, Shri Ram Nath Kovind Ji for spearheading this effort and consulting a wide range of stakeholders.
This is an important step towards making our democracy even more vibrant and participative.

Why did Mahatma Gandhi not try to save him?
Listen to the cruelty Bhagat Singh was out through
