๐ฎ๐ณ THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH ABOUT INDIA'S STOCK MARKET ๐ฎ๐ณ
Before telling someone to "just stay invested," look at what has actually happened.
Years of zero returns in some of India's biggest and most trusted companies:
๐ด ONGC โ 12 Years
๐ด Indian Oil โ 9.25 Years
๐ด ITC โ 9 Years
๐ด TCS โ 7.75 Years
๐ด HUL โ 6.5 Years
๐ด HCL Tech โ 5.75 Years
๐ด Asian Paints, Infosys, Wipro, Kotak Bank โ 5.5 Years
๐ด HDFC Bank, Adani Energy โ 5 Years
๐ด Bajaj Finserv, D-Mart, Tech Mahindra โ 4.75 Years
๐ด Reliance โ 4 Years
๐ด Jio Financial, Tata Motors โ 2.75 Years
๐ด Maruti, NTPC, HAL, IndiGo โ 2 Years
๐ด M&M, Bajaj Auto, Axis Bank โ 1.5โ1.75 Years
These are not penny stocks.
These are the companies every financial advisor, mutual fund manager, and TV expert tells investors to trust for the long term.
The macro picture isn't helping either:
๐ Rupee: โน71 โ โน97.3 (ATL) in 5 years
๐ GDP Growth: 9.2% โ 6.5% in just 2 years
๐ Q2 FY25 GDP: 5.4% (7-quarter low)
๐ FIIs pulled out $27.6 Billion in 2026 alone
๐ MSCI India vs Asia: Worst gap since 1998
๐ MSCI India vs Emerging Markets: Worst gap since 1993
Meanwhile, other markets moved ahead:
๐ฐ๐ท KOSPI: +72%
๐น๐ผ Taiwan TWSE 50: +60%
๐ฏ๐ต Nikkei: +28%
๐จ๐ณ CSI 300: +17%
๐บ๐ธ S&P 500: +17%
๐ฎ๐ณ NIFTY 50: +10%
Just 18 months ago, India's stock market was worth 3.5x South Korea's market.
Today, both South Korea and Taiwan have overtaken India.
India has slipped from the world's 5th largest equity market to 7th.
And who paid the price?
The retail investor.
๐ด 91% of F&O traders lose money (SEBI Data)
๐ด Retail F&O losses jumped 41% to โน1.06 Lakh Crore
๐ด More than โน3 Lakh Crore lost between FY22โFY25
๐ด New Demat account openings down 40%
๐ด SIP accounts witnessed a net decline for the first time ever
Yet despite all this...
๐ฐ โน29,500 Crore still flows into SIPs every month.
Because retail India still believes.
The father saving for his child's education.
The salaried employee investing a part of every paycheck.
The retiree trying to protect lifelong savings.
The small trader hoping to build a better future.
Markets are not just charts and candles.
They are people's dreams, sacrifices, and futures.
A humble appeal to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, and policymakers:
Please treat this with urgency.
Focus on investor confidence.
Focus on market depth.
Focus on long-term wealth creation.
Focus on protecting retail participation.
India's investors have shown extraordinary faith in the system.
Now it's time for the system to prove that faith was justified.

๐จ INDIAโS SILENT BEAR MARKET ๐จ
Millions lost money. Almost nobody talked about it.
Honestly, the real damage in this market doesnโt show up on the index.
You understand the reality only when you open your portfolio ๐
Personally, my equity portfolio is also down around 17 to 19% from the peak.
Not hiding it.
But one good thing is that I had already mentioned earlier that I was raising cash.
I booked a large part of my portfolio into cash before this phase intensified.
Even now, Iโm still sitting on nearly 40% cash ๐ฆ
And honestly, right now cash itself feels like a strong position.
Because yes, the market has corrected hard, but despite that, I still donโt see many high conviction opportunities where I feel like deploying aggressive capital.
That itself says a lot about this market phase.
Almost 70% of my invested portfolio is tilted toward large cap IT ๐ป
And that turned out to be one of the hardest hit sectors of 2026.
๐ Infosys down more than 30% from highs
๐ TCS corrected nearly 25%
๐ HCL Tech heavily damaged
๐ Reliance stayed under pressure for months
๐ Even HDFC Bank and Kotak failed to deliver meaningful returns despite being considered โsafeโ stocks
And itโs not just large caps getting hit.
The biggest illusion right now is that people think small cap and mid cap indices are still doing fine.
Reality is very different.
A handful of heavyweight stocks are holding the indices together.
Otherwise, the average small cap and mid cap stock is still nearly 25 to 35% below its highs ๐
Thatโs why so many portfolios feel completely destroyed even when the index itself doesnโt look that scary.
Now look at the actual market breadth:
๐ Feb 2025 โ 81% of Nifty 500 stocks below 200 DMA
๐ Jan 2026 โ 70% below
๐ Mar 2026 โ 67% below
Right now:
๐ด 84 stocks at 52 week lows
๐ข Only 15 stocks at 52 week highs
Out of 500.
During the peak of the COVID crash, nearly 83% of stocks were below their 200 DMA.
We almost reached the same level again.
The only difference?
This time there was no panic on TV.
No breaking news.
No โmarket crashโ headlines.
Just portfolios bleeding silently in the background.
And honestly, the system itself isnโt helping either.

At some point, the Finance Ministry and the Indian government need to seriously understand this:
Markets cannot keep attracting global and retail capital while continuously increasing friction through taxes and costs.
Retail investors are already sitting through brutal drawdowns, and FIIs have dozens of alternative markets globally.
Capital does not stay emotional.
It flows where participation is rewarded, confidence is protected, and investing feels attractive.
India has one of the strongest growth stories in the world ๐
But the market ecosystem also needs to reflect that strength.
Because eventually, overtaxing and weakening investor sentiment starts damaging participation itself.
And if your portfolio is down badly right now, trust me, you are not alone ๐ค
Large mutual funds are down.
Veteran investors are down.
Institutional portfolios are down.
This phase is just that brutal.
Some market phases test your analysis.
Some phases test your patience.
And some phases are designed to mentally break even strong investors.
But one thing I know for sure ๐
The more painful the phase, the more powerful the eventual recovery tends to be ๐
You just have to survive long enough to see it ๐ฏ

One #KeralaStory from the recent election results that communalists should note: a Muslim majority constituency, Thavanur, elected a Christian, VS Joy; a Hindu majority constituency, Kalamassery, elected a Muslim. VE Abdul Gafoor; and a Christian majority constituency, Kochi, elected a Muslim, Muhammed Shiyas. Despite some influence from the national trends in favour of identity politics, Kerala remains a model of communal harmony, a state where people see human beings first and caste or religion later

Three things which are permanent:
- Sun rises in the east
- Sun sets in the west
- Modiโs convoy gives way to ambulance in every state
Not even god can change these things.
I urge the Finance Ministry to give due consideration to this in the upcoming Budget.
The government proudly runs schemes like Ladli Behna and Ladla Bhai to support specific sections of society โ socially commendable, no doubt. But the same system has no Ladla Investor or Ladla Trader scheme for the people who silently fund the economy every single year.
Facts ๐
โข STT + GST + STCG + LTCG = โน1.9 โ โน2.2 lakh crore every year
โข Nearly โน2,00,000 CRORE annually from investors & traders alone
โข No subsidy. No scheme. No recognition.
๐ We take the risk.
๐ We face the volatility.
๐ We absorb the losses.
๐ We still pay every rupee of tax on time.
When markets crash โ no rescue.
When portfolios bleed โ no support.
But when itโs time to collect revenue, the system never forgets us.
โข STT deducted instantly
โข GST charged immediately
โข STCG & LTCG calculated precisely
Not a rupee delayed. Not a rupee forgiven.
This is not against welfare. This is about selective recognition.
The ones who create liquidity, fuel growth and fund development are taken for granted.
๐ Our money is welcomed.
๐ Our contribution is expected.
๐ Our voice is ignored.

Here's a hypothetical phone conversation between PM Indira Gandhi and President Trump in 2026, amid tariff threats and insults over India's Russian oil imports:
Trump: "Indira, India's taking advantage! Buying Russian oil? I'll hit you with 500% tariffs. Your country's a messโfilthy air, bad deals!"
Indira: "Mr. President, India bows to no one. Our energy choices serve our people. Threats won't sway us; we've faced worse and prevailed. Let's negotiate as equals, or face the consequences of isolation."
(Trump pauses, then chuckles: "Tough lady! Maybe we can talk.")
This draws from Gandhi's assertive style in past US-India tensions.
