We must find our voice. The EAM's statement was timely and much-needed. There needs to be a sterner pushback. This Trump administration understands only the language of strength.

[Sekar Vembu @sekar_vembu]

I am amused that many in India who call themselves “nationalists,” along with those accused of not being nationalist enough, are now pushing for strong government intervention through expanded IndiaAI Mission-style Sovereign AI initiatives or new national tech missions in response to restrictions like those on Anthropic models.

To me, this mirrors the License Raj socialism of the Nehru era, which almost everyone, irrespective of political affiliation, criticises as a bloated, corrupt, and inefficient system that strangled enterprise and innovation.

The difference is that under Nehru we had public sector giants supposedly built for national development. The new political mantra seems to be to create state-funded and state-supported private sector giants owned by cronies close to government power. Even when the government is not directly funding them, the expectation is that it will backstop them with cheap credit, subsidies, and favourable policies.

This approach is now being rebranded as the real “Swadeshi” model. In practice, it amounts to crony capitalism on steroids.

Neither the “nationalists” nor their critics, often branded as “globalists” or worse, “anti-nationals,” seem interested in the solution that would truly benefit India and its diverse people, who are desperate for honest opportunities to use their talent, work hard, and succeed.

The real moral solution for India is an ultra-minimal government combined with a maximally open and free market, operating under a system of law and justice that everyone can trust. Such a libertarian-style system would remove the bureaucratic red tape and excessive controls that currently stifle innovators and kill the tinkering and experimentation culture essential for genuine progress.

Such a system would also unleash India’s hidden and suppressed entrepreneurial energy from the bottom up. In my opinion, true nationalism and true Swadeshi mean removing the barriers that stop grassroots Indians from building and competing freely, rather than propping up big-government central missions and controls that favour only a few cronies.

@AbhishBanerj True, though the larger question is when will India grow economically and militarily strong to take on US. Govt is busy with subsidies , is not showing appetite for privatisation or doing strong local governance to make cities livable. NDA rules in 22 states.

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

Just as Indians work as sailors on almost every commercial ship, you know that lakhs of Indians work in Middle Eastern countries.

Indians have died in Iranian drone and missile strikes in Saudi and Kuwait.

But Indian liberals were lining up to donate their gold for Iran.

Why?

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

City after city...month after month... be it Mumbai, Delhi, Amdavad, Jaipur, Gauhati, Pune...anywhere... Pakistan backed terrorists would strike at will.

UPA could do nothing.

But today tales of UPA's military glory are being written.

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

Oh yes...the brave courageous UPA!

At the time, Maoists would wipe out entire CRPF battalions in Chhattisgarh...

And Indian govt would be begging Maoists for talks.

That was considered peak courage of UPA.

[Abhishek @AbhishBanerj]

They spent 12 years demanding PM Modi should go soft on Naxalites & Pakistan

They are now demanding PM Modi to declare war on the US!

You know why?

Because they know India can defeat Naxals and Pakistan

But they know India would lose to the US

They only want India to lose.

[Tehxi @yajnshri]

It’s been a year since the tragic Ahmedabad Air India plane crash

This UK-based couple lost their son in that heartbreaking disaster.

On the first anniversary of his passing, they returned to the crash site to remember him.

No one loves you like your parents do❤️🥺

[Ghar Ke Kalesh @gharkekalesh]

Internet let’s do our part and get him suspended.

Came across this clip on instagram and this breaks my heart.

[Aditya Raj Kaul @AdityaRajKaul]

Terrible News.

[Swapan Dasgupta @swapan55]

Honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of the Finance Dept of the W. Bengal government. It is a very challenging responsibility. However, the goals are clear: to restore good governance in the state & give back to the community its lost pride & self-respect. @SuvenduWB @narendramodi @AmitShah

[Jeevan Kumar C @JeevantheMSW]

@swapan55 @TVMohandasPai @SuvenduWB So heartening to see your journey ✨️!! All the best , hope Bengal transforms to a true centre right economy!!

Civic sense of superior white race will never go viral on social media. But atleast we can share it!

[Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor]

An inadvertent omission:
Deeply grateful to the Government & people of the Sultanate of Oman for their swift & courageous rescue of 21 Indian seafarers from the attacked vessel MT Settebello in the Gulf of Oman. Oman’s prompt action once again reflects the strong bonds of friendship between our nations. Though our hearts are heavy with grief over the three Indian nationals killed, Indians appreciate Oman’s continued support. @badralbusaidi

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

Spoke to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this evening. I reiterated India’s strong protest at the attacks by the US Navy in the Gulf that killed three Indian mariners. Such lethal actions against commercial shipping are not justified.

[Prabir @pdeb63]

@Iam_Rohit_G And he was given a standing ovation by all delegates including PM. The President came rushing to the venue and congratulated him. US President is scheduled to call him.

[Jeevan Kumar C @JeevantheMSW]

@ShashiTharoor Agreed but it needs to be two way discussion. This article would have been more powerful if Kashmiri Pandits were in first place not driven out or atleast now rehabilitated. All communities must reflect

[Jeevan Kumar C @JeevantheMSW]

@RakeshK32229480 True

[biased indian @RakeshK32229480]

If the government is spending ₹100, how much actually falls into corruption?
My assumption is that for Central government development projects like national highways or metros, the figure is probably below 20%.
The real corruption starts at the state and municipal levels, where I think the percentage can reach as high as 70% lmao. Just look at Mumbai's newly inaugurated flyover 🙂
Irrespective of political parties, local MLAs and MPs take their cut, and the babus take a separate cut as well.
