I am not in favour of MDR. I believe that UPI enabled the government to get a huge amount of small business move into formal economy. The growth of GDP also carries a small % of business turnovers turning 'white' via UPI. It also made many merchants to turn income tax compliant. Most of the transactions on UPI are of less than 2000/-. Anyone can check one's UPI account and see how many are above 2000/-, may be fuel.
However, there is clear division of MDR fee into various recipients. Of 8/- per transaction of merchant 0nly 1.80 or so goes to UPI gateway. Balance amounts are shared by banks and the bank that processed the transaction. The table is shared by TOI. So, to claim foreign companies are going to benefit from it is propaganda. Third point is, it may be foreign banks' move to save their visa and master cards that have taken massive beating due to UPI. Once you begin charging, one doesn't know when it will blow into something bigger, getting credit card companies back into business.
Only 6 Countries had the Tech, Modi Govt asked France. They offered Chips but not Tech
Modi Govt decided to build it within India and we have achieved it
Amazing
Report: India has achieved a pivotal breakthrough in military semiconductor engineering, successfully demonstrating advanced Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology tailored for high-frequency defence applications. Successful fabrication and demonstration of X-band Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs), alongside S-band GaN High Electron-Mobility Transistor (HEMT) power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, and switch MMICs have been achieved.
Jai Hind Friends 🇮🇳

“Some stories should not be scrolled past. This is one of them.
Col Anurag Upadhyay scored in the 99th percentile in CAT. He could have chosen a corporate career. He chose the Indian Army instead.
He volunteered for the Special Forces, completed probation with 3 PARA (SF), and joined the raising team of 12 PARA (SF). Even after a heart attack in 2008, he returned to active duty.
In August 2025, he suffered a severe posterior circulation stroke. Today, he has Locked-in Syndrome. His body has been severely affected. His mind has not.
He is conscious and aware. He remembers. He thinks. Through eye movements and alphabet-based scanning, he communicates his thoughts. Further complications resulted in bilateral below-knee amputations.
This post is not asking for sympathy. It is asking for possibility.
His family knows what the medical literature says. They are not asking for promises. They believe no credible possibility should remain unexplored because the right expert was outside their network.
They seek connections to:
• Neurologists and neuro-rehabilitation specialists experienced in Locked-in Syndrome
• Rehabilitation centres focused on neurological recovery
• Researchers exploring recovery of movement, speech or other functions
• Research and emerging technologies, including brain-computer interfaces
• Eye-tracking and assistive technology that could give Anurag a more independent voice
• Veteran organisations or individuals who can open the right doors
Someone reading this may know a doctor who has treated a similar patient, a rehabilitation team that has seen a different outcome, a relevant researcher—or someone who can make the right introduction.
His prognosis should be determined by medicine and how his body responds—not by a lack of information, access or connections.
Please make a connection if you can. DM “Tales Of A Gypsy” on Instagram. If you cannot, share this until it reaches someone who can.
No sympathy. Just one question: What more is possible for Col Anurag ?
Let us help him find out”

Hanuman Ansh should be declared Tax Free across the Nation
It's a Movie that each and every Hindu should watch and make the Yonger Generation Watch
Sita Ram
Even a Muslim scholar knows more about #Manusmriti and it's reference point in history, than the HINOS who are using a 2500 year old treatise to beat Hindus into shame. @Tahir_Mahmood thanks. I hope fake progressives read your column.
They can abuse
Shri Ram
Hanuman
Sita
Radha
Krishna
Saravasti
But no action or suo moto action on them
But if a Kattar Hindu says something he is slapped with SC/ST Act

Million words are not enough for this photograph from Nepal. A two and a half year old sister being protected by four year old brother. Perhaps, one of the most divine pictures of the century!
आदरणीय @PMOIndia जी,
सच कहूं तो हमारे देश में आरक्षण और अन्य विकासकारी योजनाओं का पहला हक इन जैसे परिवारों का होना चाहिए, जिन्हें आज भी दो जून की रोटी, बुनियादी सुविधाओं और अवसरों के लिए संघर्ष करना पड़ता है न कि उन लोगों का, जिनकी पत्नियां लाखों का बैग लेकर करोड़ों की गाड़ियों में घूमती हैं।

मेरे सम्मानित प्रदेशवासियों,
भाद्रपद कृष्ण अष्टमी की अर्धरात्रि में मथुरा के कारागार में जब नंदलाला का प्राकट्य हुआ, तब असत्य और अन्याय के अंधकार के बीच सत्य और धर्म का प्रकाश प्रस्फुटित हुआ।
योगेश्वर भगवान श्रीकृष्ण का जीवन हमें लोककल्याणकारी शासन की मूल भावना की प्रेरणा भी देता है। अन्याय का प्रतिकार, धर्म की रक्षा, निर्बल का संरक्षण और लोकमंगल उनके जीवन-दर्शन के प्रमुख आधार रहे। आज इसी भाव के साथ हमारी सरकार समाज के अंतिम पायदान पर खड़े व्यक्ति के जीवन में सम्मान और सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कार्य कर रही है।
आइए, इस जन्माष्टमी पर अपनी विरासत के संरक्षण, सामाजिक समरसता और विकसित एवं गौरवशाली उत्तर प्रदेश के निर्माण का संकल्प लें तथा श्रीकृष्ण के सत्य, धर्म, कर्म और लोकमंगल के संदेश को अपने जीवन में उतारें।
I think this woman is beautiful & what she wears is absolutely her choice. Just that this outfit is more appropriate for a sexy date rather than celebrating a sacred bond with one's brother. After all, you wouldn't wear this on Eid or while celebrating Christmas, would you? On Valentine's Day it would be fine. You see, context matters. Occasion matters. And somewhere we seem to have lost that nuance
Rakshabandhan is one of the most pious and revered festival to celebrate the love and support that exists between a brother and a sister.
To sexualise sister in an ad depicting this festival, has an ideology written all over it. Forget covering head during tilak and Raakhi, least they could’ve done is dress her up decently keeping in line with the occasion.
Won’t be surprised if the creators and promoters of this Ad come from a typical mindset and thinking. Shameful !
A healthier choice should be the easier one.
When idli replaces vada pav and chaas replaces cola in a school canteen,it may appear to be a small change.But It is a shift in the food environment in which children form habits.
