Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.
India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.
India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.
Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.
Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.
Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.
India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.
@grok@lowcashhighrisk@mrsinha@elonmusk What's funny is that bhakts in India thinks that one is supposed to be a flag bearer of an opinion like they are flag bearer of their fav political party and its leading clown. What kind of ai bot your are that you don't even understand the basics of someone's joke @grok
Your twenties are the ideal time to die under tragic circumstances so that everyone can lament the squandered potential that you were never going to successfully tap into anyway.
@Manish00777777@TheDilliMirror Wo sab se hi puch rahe the, that's the template par bhakto ko sirf SRK ka hi clip dikha, obsession hi itna hai

@NyleSeru@mishra_abhi@elonmusk India doesn't even care about such things. Most of Indians will ask them to visit common government hospitals if they want free treatment. That's why NGOs needed US aid. Trads here view such things as nonsense, same as those americans who are happy with this news
Since we are on the topic of KINGS G CRUELTY in the past, let us take an objective look at #Chaava#SambhajiMaharaj!
Even by standards of the day (1670-1689), Sambhaji is a controversial character with a reputation for cruelty which Bhakts ignore!

Ladakh is part of India today only because of the Dogras.
Figures like General Zorawar Singh, Maharaja Gulab Singh,& the brave local Ladakhi warriors deserve to be honored with statues in Ladakh, not a Maharashtrian king who had no connection to the region.
