Why are all my BJP friends in a tizzy because of my remark? Yes, our economy is doing well but India's overall debt is not a happy occurrence. Foolish of anyone to defend this! It's embarrassing for a scientist to explain commonsensical economics but here goes (pardon rough and approx figures as writing on the go):

1. India’s public debt is not some ₹270 lakh crore irrelevant figure; the Centre alone owes about ₹201 lakh crore. Add the states and general-government debt is over 80% of GDP, far above the old FRBM ceilings of 40% (Centre) and 60% (Centre plus states) that were supposed to be hit by FY25. Interest already takes 40% of the Centre’s revenue; the FY27 bill is budgeted above ₹14 lakh crore. That is not a footnote. It is the first charge on every tax rupee.

2. The Centre has at least tried to put a share of borrowing into capex. The states have not, uniformly. A growing slice of state borrowing is paying for salaries, power subsidies and unconditional cash transfers; twelve states alone set aside about ₹2 lakh crore for women-centric cash schemes in FY26, not for assets that service the debt. Several high-debt states are, in effect, borrowing to give money away.

3. India is not America. It has no reserve currency, a still-narrow income-tax base, and cannot roll deficits the way the dollar can. Most of the debt is domestic and rupee-denominated, so this is not a classic external-debt crisis. It is a compound-interest and politics problem. Fast nominal growth can shrink the ratio for a while; it cannot indefinitely outrun a 40% interest-to-revenue claim plus election giveaways.

4. If growth slows, the interest bill, state deficits and crowding-out of private credit will produce something problematic: higher real rates, less room for capex, and a fiscal vise that closes just when the next shock arrives.

5. So let us be sensible. Praise the govt for its good policies and be critical of the things that are not right and need to be set right.

6. And @pradip103 and @MumbaichaDon, my brothers, I don't do monkey balancing. And I don't make reels as I am not on Instagram, never have been. So please don't get personal - arguments are never won through getting personal.

7. But I never mind personal barbs from my RW and BJP friends because they are friends and their heart is in the right place. But I do get embarrassed by the eagerness of some of them to make a fool of themselves publicly at times! Cheers and have a great weekend.

Outrage in Germany after it became public that a Syrian migrant with 3 wives, 32 children and 25 grandchildren, with 70% of the entire family having a criminal record, receives €100,000 a year in welfare.

Why is government anti equity and anti Indian investors. This government has displayed their clear inclination for banks. First they killed debt fund markets by taxing the same as per slab rate. Then now they encouraged all NRI with FCNR deposit and that too tax free. With leverage they can earn a CAGR in double digits and all tax free.

For Indian investors, no relief for taxation or STT. Although the same was done to save INR, but NRI took full advantage. Banks are flushed with funds.

Taxing an already tax paid income like Dividend is another level.

This bias against Indian equity investors is uncalled for

Another gem from Madhya Pradesh.

A few days ago, CM Mohan Yadav boasted that MP had again topped the country in wheat procurement at MSP, procuring 1.04 crore metric tonnes from 1.34 million registered farmers.

Turns out, this figure was reached because a network of fake farmers and govt officials collaborated to scam his govt. Between March 5 and March 10, when fraudsters took advantage of the closing window for state wheat procurement registration. During late-night and early-morning hours, they created fake farmer profiles on the state portal. Local revenue officials, including Patwaris and Tehsildars, bypassed mandatory physical verifications and validated these fake registrations without checking actual land-share agreements.

With the fraudulent profiles successfully approved, the scammers purchased cheap wheat from the open market in neighboring states and brought it to govt procurement centers across MP. They passed off this cheap grain under the fake profiles to exploit the state's higher MSP rate of ₹2,585 per quintal along with govt bonuses and earned anywhere between ₹400 - ₹700 per quintal of profit.

The Economic Offences Wing of the state has initiated an investigation into the matter.

The students' protest in Jharkhand is an example of what a protest should be.

It is peaceful, respectful, and rejects symbolic gestures, like demanding someone be fired, in favor of actionable, long-term policy solutions. They want structural reform: an independent CBI probe into recruitment scandals, permanent blacklisting and prosecution of corrupt vendors, age-limit relaxations for affected candidates, fixed annual exam calendars, and complete transparency in evaluation processes.

Driven entirely by real, ground-level aspirants with no political agenda, the movement maintains a strict distance from all political parties.

This is precisely the kind of cause around which the nation's youth, civil society, self proclaimed apolitical social commentators, and "concerned" celebrities ought to rally. However, because these students lack the funding to hire influencers or celebrities to transform their struggle into a viral, pop-culture trend that everyone wants to be a part of and also don't have the backing of student organisations that have the resources, methods and influence to force governments to the table, their movement will be unfairly overlooked.

Ajeet Bariya, 21, a resident of Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, developed severe breathing difficulties.

His father called the State Govt’s 108 helpline, explained his son's condition, and specifically requested oxygen support. Although the ambulance arrived an hour later, the attendants refused to give oxygen without a doctor’s prescription.

Upon arriving at the nearest govt hospital, the attending doctor reprimanded the ambulance staff for their negligence, ordered them to administer oxygen immediately, and referred Ajeet to the district hospital.

While the staff finally administered oxygen for the transfer, the supply ran out halfway to the hospital, and Ajeet died gasping for breath. Videos of his distraught family weeping at the district hospital have since surfaced online; one of them shows Ajeet struggling for air in the ambulance, though it is too sensitive to share.

Most state-funded ambulance services function like this. They operate as if they are merely transport vehicles rather than the first link in the chain of emergency medical care. Ambulances often arrive late, staff frequently lack emergency medical training, and life-saving equipment is missing, outdated, non-functional, or poorly maintained. There are no clearly enforced SOPs, little accountability, inadequate supervision, and almost no meaningful quality audits.

On Guru Poornima, my gratitude to @vikramsampath and @jsaideepak, oceans of wisdom and humility. There are more but I have run out of thumbs.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Congratulations to the GoI for passing the anti-paper leak bill, a welcome step toward restoring exam integrity.

However, I doubt this will change much on the ground. If strict laws could deter anything, sexual crimes would have nosedived after the Nirbhaya Act, but they continue the same way.

For well-funded leak syndicates, compromising exams is not a crime, but a highly lucrative livelihood. They will simply adapt, charge higher prices to offset the risk, bribe law enforcement, and find new loopholes to exploit.

To actually plug paper leaks, we need to fight this like a cybersecurity battle, a continuous dynamic of virus versus antivirus, a dedicated technical team comprising cybersecurity experts, cryptographers, ethical hackers, and operational strategists. Because criminals constantly innovate, our defense must evolve even faster to outfox and outsmart them at every step, from secure question generation to encrypted transmission and digital exam centers. Only by staying one step ahead through technological agility can we truly put an end to paper leaks.

वैसे कठिन दिनों में मेरी माँ ने मुझे पालते समय बहुत दिन तक घर में बर्���न स्वयं साफ़ किए और मुझे बताया भी कि कोई काम बड़ा छोटा नहीं है । न बर्तन न घर न फ़र्श की सफ़ाई। हर काम भगवान का रूप है ।
जो बर्तन साफ़ करते है मैं उनका भी सम्मान करता हूँ।

खैर भाजपा ने तो मुझे नाज़ और प्यार से कार्यालय में भोजन दिया एक परिवार की तरह।

और भाजपा ने कभी भी मेरे से ताहिर हुसैन जैसे आतंकी का character witness बनने के लिए नहीं कहा। यह चलन तो वन पे वन फ्री टाइप पार्टियों का होता है !

[Amit Schandillia @Schandillia]

You think Gen Z is progressive, against sexism.
Then you hear them on Meloni.

You think Gen Z is egalitarian, for the subaltern.
Then you hear them on tea-vending.

You think Gen Z is well-read, for education.
Then you ask them what NEET is.

You think Gen Z is kind, against violence.
Then you see them around reporters.

You think Gen Z is sincere, devoted to its cause.
Then you see their protest fit checks.

You think Gen Z is united, in total solidarity.
Then you watch them handle a burger.

You think Gen Z is just, for absolute fairness.
Then you ask them about merit.

Hats off to the Aam Kabootar Party.

These guys are vile appsholes but, credit where due, masters of mass psychology and know how to manipulate it to their advantage.

Consider this: all three key figures spearheading the CJP have documented ties to the Aam Kabootar Party. The open-source evidence is right there for everyone to see. Yet, they successfully duped the masses into believing these were independent, politically unaffiliated students fighting solely for a clean system and the govt, despite its massive machinery, intel, and vast resources, couldn't even expose these obvious political links to the masses in time. Shock & awe!

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

One of the worst haters of BJP is the children of BJP leaders themselves, especially those studying/studied at elite colleges. The hate is so visceral they don't even hide it, despite knowing it could harm their parents' political prospects.

Saw a daughter of a BJP MP from Odisha celebrating Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation on her Insta story. That was alright, but next, her MP mother texted her on WhatsApp asking her to delete the story, saying Dharmendra Pradhan's PA was requesting it. Instead, she posted a screenshot of her mother's WhatsApp chat with the caption: "No PA to Dharmendra Pradhan, I'll not delete the story."

This behavior cones from a desperate need for peer validation. When BJP kids enter elite, left-leaning college circles, their family name instantly makes them social outcasts. To fit in with the cool crowd and prove they aren't like their "backward" parents, they perform absurd overcompensations, becoming the loudest, most hysterical critics of their own family's politics just to secure a scrap of peer acceptance.

Naturally, their politician parents quietly indulge this hypocrisy, viewing their children's posture as a necessary social tax.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

It was a much bigger protest than most of us anticipated. I think for a moment, even the govt might have been caught off guard.

So, hats off to the Aam Aadmi Party. These guys understand mass psychology, especially youth psychology, better than most other politicians, and they know how to manipulate it and use it to their advantage. Even Congress, a much larger party with more resources and experience, cannot mobilize this kind of protest.

Also, this event again exposes the BJP’s ongoing vulnerability in the modern info-war. They fail to recognize a fundamental truth: the youth are inherently anti-establishment, aggressive, and driven by cultural trends. If a protest is perceived as "cool" and culturally dominant, participation explodes because joining becomes a way to signal belonging and status. You cannot counter this energy with outdated hashtags or by reminding the youth how bad things were under previous regimes. That historical comparison means nothing to a generation that never lived through it. The youth do not judge a govt against its past; they judge it against their own expectations for the future.

To fix this, the most important thing is BJP must aggressively reform its communication machinery. Fire the absolute dinosaurs running their digital strategy, those pre-2014 social media relics are still trapped in a time capsule, utterly clueless about the modern internet. These digital fossils don't understand anything beyond spamming robotic IT-cell hashtags and forcing artificial trends that everyone sees right through. In their place, the party must hire actual youth who live and breathe modern internet culture to build organic, decentralized narratives.
