If you want something from someone, make it clear what. It's not imposing to ask explicitly for something; it's imposing to be vague and make the recipient work to figure out what you want.
Living in 100% Amrit Kaal,
driving 80% ethanol cars,
breathing 60% polluted air,
drinking 40% adulterated milk,
in an education system with 20% credibility,
to get killed with 0% dignity, by USA missiles, by mob lynchings, by a badly made bridge or a pothole, or just a stampede.
The reason Modi remains totally silent on crises like the CBSE OSM fiasco is that the issue will then reach the entire Indian population quickly, which otherwise would be restricted to a small group of directly affected folks, as the entire Godi Media suppresses stories with an unmatched zeal, and WhatsApp University creates diversions and new nonsense every hour. So issues die their unnatural early death, and he simply moves on.
Repeat on loop.
NEET: 22 lakh students affected
CBSE: 17 lakh students affected
CUET (UG): 16 lakh students affected
That’s 55 lakh students in distress.
Is one incompetent Education Minister more important than 55 lakh students? Why is the Prime Minister not sacking him?
Speaking of Indian tourists doing shenanigans abroad, it's always a good time to remember that only 1% of Indians have ever travelled on an international vacation.
So the Indians you see in those videos are literally from the top 1% of India's population.
@CMOTamilnadu Governments come and go but they never learn.
By banning or limiting their availability, you are not doing anyone else a favour, you are just losing a major chunk of your state’s revenue.
The people who wants to drink will buy in black if push comes to shove.
India is reaching a point where if you try to talk sense, people will abuse you, threaten you and virtually lynch you in the streets.
And that is one of the greatest achievements of Ruling party.
They didn't just destroy institutions. They destroyed minds.
Jai hind , Mera Bharat Mahaan🙏
I never understood this - Why do people feel proud of being born into a religion like ‘I’m a proud Hindu’ ‘I’m a proud Muslim’
What do you feel proud of? You didn’t choose it, you didn’t earn it, you had zero role in it. It just happened.
It’s not an achievement There’s nothing to be proud of.
So why feel proud about something that has nothing to do with your effort.
Pride should come from achievement, effort, something you built, something that created impact. That’s something you earned. Not from something you got by default.
If the only thing you’re proud of is something you got by accident. Then maybe there’s nothing else you’ve actually done.
Second, borrowed pride is cheap, If your life lacks personal achievement, identity becomes your shortcut to self-worth.
You should only feel proud of your work and achievements
My exit poll! As I leave #Bengal, it would be a disservice not to say this: I have come to deeply admire the way women inhabit space here. There is a quiet, almost subconscious elevation of women as independent beings . something that stands in stark contrast to the entrenched misogyny that still finds resonance across much of northern India. Perhaps it stems from a cultural understanding of shakti. A form of empowerment that manifests here in ways both subtle and profound, unlike anywhere else in the country, even in the south.
Any woman journalist who has covered political rallies across India will recognize the difference immediately. Other states, a crowd is not just a logistical challenge, it carries risk. the inevitability of wandering hands, the violation masked by chaos. Here, the crowds are no less dense, the air no less heavy with sweat and alcohol—but the hands, for the most part, do not grope. Men step aside to make way. When contact happens, as it inevitably does in chaos, there is visible embarrassment rather than entitlement. What you encounter is not chivalry, but something far rarer: equality. And equality feels far more meaningful. Was never a fan of chivalry in any case :)
There is more. Women politicians across party lines campaign with a striking freedom, aggressive, sharp, unapologetically irreverent, often using what would elsewhere be labelled as ‘masculine’ rhetoric. In most states, such behaviour would invite judgment, even censure. Here, it is met with acceptance, applause. What feels liberating to an outsider is, in Bengal, simply normal. What we frame as empowerment here is a cultural undercurrent.
I have covered four elections in this state, and each time I have returned with the same sense of awe. Bengal, meanwhile, ambles on with a certain bemusement, as if unaware of what sets it apart. But it is a big deal. And perhaps the most remarkable part is that Bengal does not think so.
Governments will come and go. One can only hope that this constant endures, not just how Bengal sees its women, but how, in many ways, it doesn’t. ♥️♥️♥️
Latest IMF data show Bangladesh’s per capita GDP above India’s. This is shocking given that India used to have a clear lead, & Bangladesh has recently had a lot of turmoil. India must move away from creating slogans & headlines to implementing real policy.

@Nithin0dha I keep saying this all the time. The only thing that will save india is MANUFACTURING. Thats it. Labour intensive, highly productive, export oriented manufacturing. Just like china.
