Pakistan is trying to needle India with 100 saste drones every night. Yes, those reports are real. I do not get why GOI tries to downplay it. We are a democracy and you cannot hide things. India should not respond every day. Let the bhikari bastards waste money. We can sustain pain. We can afford our fiscal deficit going up. Let Bhikaristan spend more money. And then one day, India should hit them when they shit their bed. People of India should get mentally ready for a long vigil. If the border states and some industries suffer economically, then the other states need to step up and sacrifice for them. We are in this together folks.

Message for @POTUS @realDonaldTrump - Indian Americans like me supported you wholeheartedly since 2016! You created hope within the Indian community. We endured abusive behavior from dem supporting Indian Americans! We did that for you because you conveyed strong message about ‘I love Hindus’ / India US relations and against Islamic terrorism. Your domestic economic policies suited the Indian Americans rather well.

However your statements after the Pahalgam terrorist killings of Indian/ Hindu tourists by Pak terrorists have been disappointing. Two statements made by you proved my theory right - I believe smart people make dumb mistakes & smarter people make dumber mistakes!

1. By equating your friendship between @narendramodi and sharif , you ended up insulting the word friendship! It was worse than @AnnCoulter telling @VivekGRamaswamy that she and her kind will not vote for him because he was a Hindu! Only Vivek could have given her the hard slap as gently as he did !

2. By threatening India to stop trade , if ceasefire was not accepted by them, you forgot the very essential element of Leadership. Good leaders are smart about making a distinction between friends and those who kill our soldiers and send them in body bags using our money to do so. I am sure @DNIGabbard will tell you enough stories about it probably based on her own experiences on the battlefield.
Do you think you have forfeited enormous good will and trustworthiness of our great country America?

Indian Americans love you but you so unnecessarily shafted them.

Indian Americans admired you for your bold and brave statements on Islamic terrorism- but today you betrayed them by equating a terrorist country with India.

Your ‘unnecessary smartness’ in choice of words belies your otherwise discerning behavior!

Hopefully - as @newtgingrich always says you are a very good learner - you will soon learn from the mistakes you made.

Politics makes strange bedfellows but at the moment it’s ‘Made America Untrustworthy Ally’ - again ! Hopefully you will deliver, another ‘Art of deal’ again, sooner than later . @SecRubio !

God bless you!

Indian equipment, both new and old ones that have been modified, have been integrated very well to provide a robust shield against attacks. Not just production for the Indian defense forces, the export market has immense potential.

[Arihant @haryannvi]

Make defence budget 3% of gdp (20% of budget) - that means around Rs 3.5 lakh - 4 lakh crore extra spending. Can be easily achieved and if we make it mandatory that extra spending goes only in buying fully ‘Made in India’ products, it can be considered capex investment. Remember how all US wars abroad fattens only its domestic industry and economy.

[Shivam Thakur @lensofreason]

Calling the nuclear bluff and no longer looking at terror and Pak govt as separate entities, both part of the PM's address today, will have long term strategic ramifications that will be interesting to observe.

At this point it simply doesn't matter who contests on the Lotus symbol for MP elections because voters are only voting for Modi and BJP

Hard to imagine, only a decade ago India was living in a fragmented coalition politics era where every minor regional leader called the shots!

Indian companies will comply - for now. But what India needs is an App Store / Play Store that is a part of Digital Public Infrastructure - like UPI and ONDC. The response needs to be strategic @PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc

15th August just marks a transition from external colonisation to internal colonisation.

22nd January marks the true independence of India, the independence of the mind, where a wounded civilisation begins to heal herself.

1. Starting a book recommendation series. #BR1 is Aroup Chatterjee's Mother Teresa : The Untold Story. It's 373 pages long and at 30 pages a day, it shouldn't take most people more than ten days to finish. On June 8th, I will recommend the next book. Happy Reading.

Liberals making fun of Vasudev because he’s “Poor, can’t afford Qatar Airways & he lives in a Village” . These are the same people who claim to be voice of downtrodden. Btw, that boy might not be Rich in terms of Money, but he’s Far Richer in Self Respect, Dignity & Patriotism.🇮🇳
