We are concerned about the levels of Political violence in America. We urge the Americans to resolve their differences peacefully. We will be deploying observers to monitor the volatile situation. All Africans in America should keep in contact with their respective Embassies. We advise Africans to stop traveling to America during this period.

I read Bipin Chandra for UPSC.
There is one line where the name Dr Ambedkar is mentioned. He managed the entire chapter of Poona Pact without quoting the role of Dr Ambedkar.
Poona Pact was highlighted as British Construct to divide Hindu society.
Now the recent research shows how a legend called Dr Ambedkar entered the Indian Political Space on the same time when Gandhi entered at two different places.
Dr Ambedkar's Legacy starts with his famous speech before South Borough Commission in 1919 where he mentions how British Government betrayed the depressed classes inspite of an assurance made in 1909 reforms for giving adequate reforms.
His role in three round table conferences and his fight with Gandhi does not form part of the History Textbooks.
It is time now to change these history textbooks.
I would be launching my new video series,
"The Real Dr B.R. Ambedkar"
highlighting all important evidences.
Others can share any material associated on this with me.

The Bubble Generation vs the Bust Generation

My first salary as a lecturer in St Stephen’s College was Rs.14,300. In today’s prices that is about Rs.79,000. A few years later when I joined NDTV, my salary dropped slightly to 2023 equivalent of Rs.63,000. But the very next year it more than doubled to an equivalent of Rs.1,33,000. By the time I was 33, I was earning an equivalent of Rs.8.5 lakh per month in today’s prices (adjusted for inflation).

In hindsight, I can only call these bubble salaries. They were paid to employees during a period of financial boom, where companies could raise money very easily based on their valuations. Their earnings could never justify these huge salaries, but the hope of future earnings forced them to pay through their nose to retain talent.

This process continued till 2008, and peaked in 2007. I recall trying to hire a young person, fresh out of journalism school for the NDTV Profit desk. We were desperate to fill positions as people were leaving to join financial institutions. The person knew nothing about business, but we still offered them a position. As I said we were desperate. We offered them a starting salary of Rs.40,000. They rejected the offer, because another channel had hired them for Rs.45000. In today’s prices that would be a starting salary of Rs.1,30,000 for a fresher out of journalism school!

Compare this to what has been happening to young people in the past 10 years. Except for a very short burst of activity in startups where people were offered fabulous salaries, the salaries people earn today don’t come close to the real inflation-adjusted pay that we got in the early 2000s. And because we had that head start, we continued to get very high salaries till well into the mid-2010s.

If we were the Bubble Generation, today’s youngsters are the Bust Generation.

This has both pros and cons. The cons are obvious. Most young people cannot afford to buy durables or invest in homes. Many continue to live in their parental home because they can’t set up homes on their own. I wonder what impact this has had on marriage prospects.

The pros are that young people today are growing up in a time of scarcity. They will learn to be frugal, and also to save. Yes, they might spend on fancy phones and clothes, but that is probably where it ends. Hopefully, they will be more thrifty and better equipped to handle economic uncertainty than my generation was.
