Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
Why Gen Z Is Agitated
FY13 to FY23 Tax Return Data of Salaried Persons: Inflation-Adjusted Wage Growth in 10 Yrs (a) Below ₹10L: -21% (b) ₹10L to ₹50L: -39% (c) Above ₹50L: -46%; Purchasing power hugely down in 10 yrs; Nominal wage growth is flat.
Working Class: The Lost Decade
The Income Tax Return Statistics released by the I.T. Department for FY13 and FY23 reveal what is going on with salaried taxpayers in the last 10 years. Writer and journalist Monika Halan @monikahalan has published eye-opening data in her HT column today.
Definitions:
a. Nominal Wage = Wage Not Adjusted for Inflation
b. Real Wage = Inflation-Adjusted Wage (Real Purchasing Power)
Annual Inflation Rate from FY13 to FY23 (Ministry Data) is as follows:
Using CPI (MOSPI, Base 2024=100): Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 55.6 in March 2013 and 93.3 in March 2023. This means cumulative inflation of 68% over the decade (Inflation: 5.3% per year average).
FY13 to FY23
Income Below ₹10 Lakh PA
Nominal Wage Growth: +2.8%/yr
Inflation-adj Growth: -2.4%/yr
Real Change in 10 yrs: -21.5%
Income ₹10 Lakh to ₹50 Lakh PA
Nominal Wage Growth: +0.3%/yr
Inflation-adj Growth: -4.8%/yr
Real Change in 10 yrs: -38.7%
Income Above ₹50 Lakh P.A.
Nominal Wage Growth: -1.1%/yr
Inflation-adj Growth: -6.0%/yr
Real Change in 10 yrs: -46.4%
It Means: On average, if your annual salary was ₹1 cr in FY13, your nominal (on paper) salary in FY23 is ₹89L, and your real salary (adjusted for inflation @ 5.3% per year) is ₹53.6L.
For a salary earner on average:
High Income:
Purchasing Power is down 47%
Middle Income:
Purchasing Power is down 39%
Low Income:
Purchasing Power is down 21%
The low-income group (below ₹10 lakh p.a.) is the least hit in terms of wage stagnation and wage de-growth.
GDP Growth vs. Wage Growth
Question:
From FY13 to FY23, how the annual nominal GDP growth is around 11%, while annual nominal wage growth is only 2.8% for lower income, 0.3% (flat) for middle income, and -1% (negative) for higher income salaried individuals?
Answer:
a. Demographic Dividend: India adds roughly 1 crore young individuals to the working-age population every year. As these new workers join the formal economy, they add to the nation’s productivity (GDP), receive salaries, and become taxpayers.
b. Nearly all of the GDP growth (related to salaried employees) comes from more taxpayers entering the system rather than existing taxpayers earning substantially more within their income band.
c. Since labour supply is more than demand, the bargaining power of employers increases. As a result, the salaries of existing workers remain flat or negative.
d. So, India’s GDP growth story is a labour supply-driven growth story, and not a labour demand-driven (wage-growth driven) story.
e. Upward Mobility: Some smart or lucky individuals manage to move up the income bands through skill upgrades, job switching, etc. But the vast majority remain stuck within their band, and keep losing the inflation battle.
Gen Z’s Uncertain Future
a. India is not an export-led or manufacturing-led economy. India’s growth story is a domestic consumption growth story. But the massive “demographic dividend” which India enjoyed for so long is now ending. Nothing lasts forever.
b. India urgently needs to move from a labour-supply driven economy to real wage-growth driven economy. Otherwise, once the demographic tailwind ends in a few years, there will be no wage tailwind to replace it.
c. Economists like Dr. Arvind Subramanian @arvindsubraman and Dr. Raghuram Rajan have long said that consumption in India is broken. Now we know that’s because wage growth is broken.

How brutally this Govt is exploiting income tax payers. An example.
> Before 2017, there were no surcharge on Income upto 1 crore.
> Modi Govt reduced the limit and started surcharge from 50L onwards.
> So, taxpayers need to pay 10% extra tax on top of Income tax already paid and 4% cess.
In 2017 a rent of 2BHK in top cities were around 20K, now in 2026 it's somewhere 50K. The inflation has raised atleast 2-3x. 50L in 2017 is atleast 1.25cr in 2026 but surcharge limit isn't adjusted accordingly. It's still at 50L in 2026 which was 1cr before 2017 🥲
Count how badly and at how many levels this Govt is taxing us.
income tax -> then surcharge -> then health and education cess -> then exemption limit reduced to half -> then limit not adjusted to inflation -> then GST as you spend money.
With visible and invisible tax Govt tax atleast 6 times to income taxpayer for a single rupee earned and still give nothing in return.

The People of INDIA understand that Ethanol blending policy is flawed. If we actually implement the policy well we can get Petrol between ₹80-90 / litre & the policy can help our farmers instead of kids .

The corporate gymnastics around E20 fuel are getting out of hand, and @Maruti_Corp just hit a new milestone in "tying oneself in knots."
The Timeline:
📍 The Owner’s Manual: Explicitly states "Up to E10 only" to legally shield warranty liabilities.
📍 The PR Statements: Executives publicly assure millions that manuals don't matter and E10 cars handle E20 without issue.
📍 The Courtroom Defense: When ordered by a Consumer Court to replace/refund a car due to fuel system failure, MSIL appeals stating: "The vehicle is E20 compatible as mentioned in the manual, the damage was caused by ADULTERATED fuel!"
📍 The Service Center (Today): I took my car in for service today, and the advisor pitched me a protection package against damage caused by... you guessed it: "adulterated fuel."
MSIL claims to have serviced 15 million E10 cars with "Zero E20 damage." But when every case of ethanol phase-separation or fuel line corrosion is conveniently categorized as "adulteration," the stat becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Trapped between government blending targets and customer liabilities, MSIL has managed to deny warranty claims on one end, while monetizing customer fear by selling add-on protection on the other.
When does customer trust start mattering more than PR gymnastics?

This young man is an uncut diamond that deserves a future.
The Cockroach Janata Party should enlist diamonds like him as members if they really want to go far with their movement and change India’s destiny.
If not, some rich NGO or a corporate CSR department should rehabilitate him by providing an interest-free loan and helping him set up a small business.
His name is Mohammad Irfan. He lives in a broken 12 sq yd 1-room slum (with tarpaulin roof) with his parents and two sisters in Delhi’s Laxmi Nagar.
For his livelihood, along with his father, he sells ice slabs as a roadside vendor.
He cannot write, he never went to school, and all his education is acquired by asking questions to Google several hours a day.
From the Preamble to the Indian Constitution (Hindi version) to Urdu Shayar Ahmed Faraz and Kavi Gopal Das Neeraj’s poetry to legal rights of workers and minimum wage & hour laws in India, his knowledge is 10x more than the average brainwashed WhatsApp University uncles of India.
In the video, Irfan emphasizes on “garima” (dignity). The Preamble to the Constitution explicitly states: “assuring the dignity of the individual,” irrespective of their caste, religion, education, or economic status.
Irfan was discovered by The Lallantop’s brilliant journalist Rajat Pandey @RajatpandeyJF during recent student protests at Jantar Mantar. That’s real journalism India needs instead of the shameless mainstream media that is digging India’s grave.
Rajat can provide the phone number and address of Irfan to anyone interested in supporting him.
