Bangladeshi women - I made ration card, voter card..

Reporter- Who did this?

Bangladeshi women - When Mamata's party was there then I did

Reporter- How did you do?

Bangladeshi women- Party workers managed through municipality

Reporter- did you get money from Lakshmi Bhandar scheme? Did you vote?

Bangladeshi women- Yes.. received money from government schemes..casted my vote too

This is not just story of Bengal but in other states too congress and left parties has done the same thing!!

[Malay Krishna @Malay4Product]

Every single one of the points are a real problem.

But your understanding is broken, let me explain. :)

Norway has 55 lakh people. Total. That’s smaller than the population of Pune. Their entire country has fewer citizens than India’s 25 smallest cities individually. Norway also has 1.2 trillion dollars in sovereign wealth from oil reserves, accumulated over 50 years.

They have $250,000 per citizen sitting in the fund. India has roughly $3,400 per citizen in forex reserves.

Norway is what you get when a small population sits on top of one of the largest per-capita oil discoveries in human history.

The right comparison is other low-income, high-population, post-colonial democracies. Brazil. Indonesia. Nigeria. Bangladesh. Pakistan. Egypt. Mexico. South Africa. Vietnam. Philippines.

Compare on these and India isn’t doing badly. It’s doing better than most.

UPI is the world’s largest real-time payments system.

Aadhaar is the world’s largest biometric identity system.

We absorbed the global pandemic, the Ukraine war, the West Asia conflict, Trump’s tariffs, the Iran war, and a rupee fall without going into recession.

Most of those countries above did. Pakistan went to the IMF 24 times. Sri Lanka collapsed. Bangladesh is unstable. Egypt needed emergency Gulf bailouts. Argentina has 60% inflation. We stayed standing.

India is the only country in human history to add a trillion dollars of GDP every 18 months. We added our first trillion in 2007. Our second in 2017. Our third in 2024. Our fourth coming in 2026.

The problems you mentioned exist in every large, low-income, high-density country on earth.

Mexico City’s pollution is worse than Delhi’s.
Manila’s traffic is worse than Mumbai’s.
Lagos has worse road quality than Delhi.
Jakarta has worse air than Delhi.
Cairo has worse adulteration.
Karachi has more corruption.
Hanoi has higher pollution.

None of these countries are run by Modi. They’re all dealing with the same impossible math.

Industrialising a country of 145 crore people during a global energy transition, with limited natural resources, while keeping democracy intact, is the single hardest governance challenge in human history.

> China did it without democracy.
> South Korea did it with a population one-tenth our size.
> Japan did it with no major religious or linguistic diversity.
> Singapore did it with 50 lakh people total.

Nobody has done it at India’s scale, with our diversity, in democratic conditions.

So when someone asks “why hasn’t Modi built one city like Norway,” the answer is because building one Norway requires not having 144.5 crore other Indians to look after.

Qatar on Eid:
Do not perform the namaz in open outdoor areas; pray inside Mosques. Limit women's attendance as much as possible, as Eid prayer is not obligatory.

Al Jazeera (owned by Qatar):
India is restricting public prayers and telling Muslims to pray in Mosques.

When an Islamic country does it, it becomes a guideline. But when a non-Islamic country does the same thing, it is labeled Islamophobia.

On 27 May 1971, during the Liberation War 1971, Bagbati, Bangladesh became a graveyard as the Pakistan Army killed, raped and looted Bangladeshi Hindus.
Their suffering must be remembered.
Never forget the horrors of 1971.

This is Mao Xinyu.

Grandson of Mao Zedong and a Major General in the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

After numerous top-level purges of the #PLA carried out by Xi Jinping, he has now become one of the top Generals in the Chinese Army 🤡

Just imagine.

A fish long familiar to local fishermen in #Karnataka’s Cauvery basin has now been scientifically identified as a new species — Labeo kaage 🐟.

A reminder of how much biodiversity the #WesternGhats still quietly hold.
