Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.
Dear Elon,
The online education, digital payments, and small businesses going global you speak of are already happening in India on dirt-cheap internet.
Jio revolutionized cheap internet back in 2016. The price per GB of data crashed from ₹228 to ₹8, shooting monthly usage from under 2 GB to 40 GB+ and turning connectivity from a luxury into a daily utility for hundreds of millions.
India’s internet sector isn't a damsel in distress waiting to be saved by a savior in orbit. That said, we still welcome competition. So drop the sarcasm and go finish your security clearances so Indians can actually choose whether they want affordable ground data or a shiny space toy.
Public taunts won't skip the line. Pfizer tried forcing its way into the Indian market during COVID era using the same playbook, bypassing mandatory protocols and leaning on public pressure through influencers. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.
It's not surprising to see our colonial sepoy @rahulgandhi supporting @elonmusk in undermining our business ventures. After all, in ensuring the integrity of our country be it economic or territorial, the Nehru-Gandhi family has been acting against India for over 4 generations. From giving away PoK and Akshai Chin to distributing 2g spectrum license at decade old rates, the stories of anti-Indian activities of Nehru-Gandhi family are of course many
Keralam: Video removed; anchor Aparna Kurup forced to apologise for criticising Sunni cleric A.P. Aboobacker Musliyar's diktat against allowing women in the public sphere.
BJP slams channel for submitting to Islamists.

'Smash the patriarchy' but not the Muslim one?
A female journalist questioned a Maulana's regressive mindset in Keralam, and jihadist unleashed a vicious digital lynching.
Forced to bow down, the channel had to tender an unconditional apology and scrub the video off all platforms.
Will Rahul Gandhi’s "Smash Patriarchy" gang dare to speak up now? Get the full story with @UncutViveka
Constructive dialogue continues.
I received a call from the @PetroleumMin.
Team Bharat has been invited by the Ministry of Petroleum for a follow-up meeting within the next three -Four days to further discuss consumer choice, fuel pricing, and the concerns raised by citizens.
We sincerely thank Hon’ble Minister Shri Hardeep Singh Puri ji for his willingness to engage with us and for taking the concerns of the common citizens seriously. His decision to invite us again for another round of discussions reflects a constructive approach towards finding meaningful and practical solutions.
We also thank the Ministry for keeping this dialogue open. Our commitment remains unchanged to work constructively while ensuring that the voice of every Indian consumer is heard and that practical, consumer-centric solutions emerge from this engagement.
Dialogue is meaningful only when it leads to action, and we remain hopeful that together we can bridge the gap between policy objectives and consumer interests.
Lynching is savagery. Burning a human being alive is barbarism.
This is what Muslims do to Hindus, Jews, and Christians around the world in the name of Islam.
The world is watching.
The protest was against air pollution in Delhi and the slogans were:
1) Comrade Hidma Amar Rahe.
2) Tum Kitne Hidma Maroge, Har Ghar Se Hidma Niklega.
Madvi Hidma was not an environmentalist, and he didn’t die of air pollution in Delhi. He was a Naxal who was responsible for 26 deadly attacks and for killing 100s of soldiers & civilians.
He was also responsible for Dantewada massacre, in which 76 CRPF Jawans were killed. It was the deadliest attack on Indian Forces in a single ambush in the history of independent India. Shockingly, there were celebrations by leftists in JNU at that time.
Look at this placard from air pollution protest in Delhi, they compared Freedom Fighter Birsa Munda with Naxal Hidma.
This is how the left ecosystem manipulates and misleads you. They won't tell you that Birsa Munda ji also fought against the cow slaughter and religious conversions by Missionaries because it doesn't suit their agenda, but they will mislead you by equating Birsa Munda with every Naxal/Maoist who killed our tribals and our soldiers.
Beware of Urban Naxals. They want the youth to turn into Maoists/Naxals and live in the jungle, while they stay in the media, universities and other institutions, living a luxurious life on taxpayers' money.
He is Juhad Hameed Shakeel Manna, accused of recruiting for the terror group ISIS. He is currently lodged in Bengaluru Central Jail, Karnataka.
A video has gone viral in which he is seen using a mobile phone and watching TV in jail.
Terrorists get comfort, taxpayers get fooled.
This person does not live in India but wants the youth of India to indulge in violence like in Nepal.
His father is AAP leader Vikas Sharma, who contested election from
Bulandshahr in 2022 and lost.
Whenever his fake news or propaganda gets exposed, he makes videos to defend himself by playing the victim card.
GenZ and youth of India must stay alert against such propagandists who live comfortably outside India while provoking you to burn your own nation. They want you to do violence while they hide behind WiFi abroad, enjoying their life.
