This is Pakistani newspaper after their army surrendered in Dhaka on 16th December 1971.
I am sure they will claim victory in Operation Sindoor too.
They’ve never won a war against India but their rogue army & foolish citizens behave like ostrich.
In suaron ko kya smajhayega?
The chart is true and the drop is also true. But we are missing what's actually driving this drop.
Let me explain;
First, let's look at the actual numbers. Gross FDI coming into India hit a record $94.5 billion in 2025-26, up 17%. Investment is not slowing down.
More foreign money is entering India than ever before.
Net FDI shrank because two outflows ballooned at the same time.
First, Repatriation hit $53.6 billion, the highest in years.
This is foreign companies that invested years ago now taking profits home, selling shares, or exiting after listing on Indian markets.
After the 2021 stock boom, lots of foreign-backed companies IPO'd in India, and the early investors cashed out at a profit.
Yes the money leaving counts as an outflow. But the company, the factory, the jobs, all stay in India.
Second, Indian companies are investing abroad at record levels, around $29 billion.
This is Indian companies becoming multinationals. Tata, Reliance, Adani, Sun Pharma, Indian IT majors buying assets, building plants, and expanding overseas.
That counts as an outflow in this math, but it's a sign of strength, not weakness. It's the same way Japanese and Korean firms went global in their growth decades.
So the formula is, net FDI equals gross inflow minus repatriation minus Indian investment abroad. All three numbers are at or near record highs.
Even the RBI says the rising repatriation is "a sign of a mature market where foreign investors can enter and exit smoothly."
Investors put money into countries more easily when they know they can take it out easily.
Yes, heavy repatriation does put pressure on the rupee, since dollars leaving means more demand for dollars.
That's a genuine factor in the rupee weakening to 95-97. And if repatriation stays this high for years while gross inflows plateau, that would become a real structural worry.
The fact is that record money is coming into India.
Record profits are being taken out by early investors who did well. And Indian companies are going global at record scale.
Net FDI is the small leftover after three big flows cancel out, it is not evidence that India stopped attracting investment.
If you want to attack the government on the economy, the rupee and the repatriation pressure on it is a fair line.
"Net FDI collapsed because nobody wants to invest in India" is not the true story.
Read the whole table please, not just the top line.
Dear friends, as promised, the citizens funded generics vs. branded drugs project is now published after 4 months in peer review. It was hardwork, but worth the effort because all of you helped us realize this important work.

Here is a simplified summary:
Do cheaper generic medicines work as well as expensive branded ones? It's a question that worries patients and even many doctors, who often quietly assume that a low price must mean lower quality. This doubt has real consequences in India, where medicines make up nearly two-thirds of what families spend out of their own pockets on healthcare — a burden that pushes millions into poverty and forces people to split doses or stop treatment altogether.
To put the question to a fair, independent test, our team at the Mission for Ethics and Science in Healthcare (MESH) carried out a fully citizen-funded study, paid for entirely by donations from ordinary members of the public, with no money or influence from any drug company.
We bought 131 samples of 22 commonly used medicines — covering heart disease, diabetes, infections, pain, acidity, and more — from seven different kinds of outlets across Kerala, including government stores like Jan Aushadhi, private generic chains, and premium branded pharmacies. Every sample was then coded, blinded, and sent to a top accredited laboratory for rigorous testing against the Indian Pharmacopoeia 2022 standards. What makes this study unusual is that very few before it have tested branded and generic versions from the same market side by side, included government-supplied medicines, and combined strict quality testing with a hard look at price — all at the same time.
The result was striking in its simplicity: every single one of the 131 medicines passed every quality test. 100%. It made no difference whether a pill was generic or branded, cheap or expensive — they were all equally good in their active ingredient content, their purity, and how they dissolve in the body.
Yet the prices told a completely different story. Generic medicines were, on average, 48.6% cheaper than their branded twins, and the most expensive brand cost up to 13.9 times more than the cheapest generic of the very same drug. Government Jan Aushadhi stores were the cheapest source for 18 of the 22 medicines tested, with potential savings running into thousands of rupees a year per medicine — for instance, over ₹16,000 a year on a single liver drug.
For doctors, this is reassuring, hard evidence that prescribing a quality-assured generic is not a compromise on care; it is the same medicine at a fraction of the cost. For patients, it means you can stay on your treatment without it draining your savings, which is exactly what keeps people healthier over the long run.
And this is precisely why independent, publicly funded projects like this matter so much for the future of healthcare in India: they answer the questions ordinary people actually have, free from commercial pressure, and they build the trust that programmes like Jan Aushadhi need to truly succeed. Affordable and high-quality are not opposites — in a well-regulated market, they go hand in hand.

Indian babies have been sleeping with parents for centuries. Same with babies in many parts of Asia & Africa.
The West forgot the basics & started separate rooms, controlled crying & all that nonsense. That was blindly followed by the "progressive" set in India. Now it seems common sense is coming back in fashion
@somvi79@rahulpandita Rahul Pandita discredited himself long ago with his story for some forgotten film based in Kashmir where he tried to whitewash the Pandit genocide. Now he is just trying to get back into discourse.
You ask uncomfortable questions to a diplomat: That is journalism.
The diplomat answers the questions in a manner he can: That is diplomacy.
You heckle the diplomat repeatedly & stage a walkout: That’s activism, not journalism.
@kuldeepmishra@Roshanjnu Sardar, Tau ne kaha hai na ki kisi bhi chunav ke nateejon ke 99 karan hote hain, lekin hum jo batayenge to 100va hota hai. Chunav vishleshan ka podcast nahi hai, ye un logon ko samjhane/ safai dene ki zaroorat nahi jinhe pata hi nahi Teen Taal kya aur kyu hai.
Electoral politics today resembles a cricket match where one team turns up, bats, fields, collects the trophy, and heads home to have dhokla for dinner, while the other spends the afternoon questioning the pitch, the neutrality of the umpires, whether to play the next time.
