Some great writing from @samirsaran. The argument was lucid, logical and Indian. And don’t miss the concluding lines “Some nations are still sovereign. The sky above India may be open, but the rules beneath it are written in New Delhi.”

प्रिय युवाओं

ज्ञानेश चोर हो सकते हैं. पेपर लीक हो सकता है. बेरोजगारी और महंगाई बढ़ सकती है. देश अंबानी-अदानी चला सकते हैं. लेकिन अगर तुमको लगता है कि इन आंदोलन से कल कोई दूसरा नेता आकर देश में सब कुछ ठीक कर देगा, तो ये तुम्हारी बुद्धि की बलिहारी है.

दरअसल तुम अभी नहीं जान सके हो कि इस देश में आंदोलन एक बौद्धिक व्यापार है. हर आंदोलन से राजनीति के बाजार में कुछ नई दुकाने खुल जाती हैं. कुछ चल पड़ती हैं और कुछ बंद हो जाती हैं.

फिर इस लोकतंत्र के क्षितिज पर कुछ देर के लिए एक धुआँ उठता है और इस देश के राजनीतिक कवि-लेखक-पत्रकार नारे लगाते हैं, “देखो-देखो हम ज़िंदा हैं.” और तब तक चिल्लाते हैं जब तक कि उनकी पसंद का नेता कुर्सी पर बैठ नहीं जाता.

इसलिए कहना चाहूँगा, अगर तुम किसी पार्टी के कार्यकर्ता हो तो आंदोलन जरूर करो. कार्यकर्ता का तो फ़र्ज़ है. लेकिन अगर नहीं हो तो फिलहाल पढ़ाई-लिखाई और कैरियर पर ध्यान दो.

अगर एसआईआर में ज्ञानेश ने तुम्हारा नाम काट दिया है तो फ़ार्म 6 भरने का आप्शन अभी भी तुम्हारे पास है. अपना नाम ऑनलाइन जोड़ लो और जब चुनाव आए तब वोट देकर अपना गुस्सा दर्ज कर लेना.

लेकिन ये वक़्त पढ़ने-लिखने और ख़ुद की दुनिया गढ़ने का है. ये बीत जाएगा तो फिर न आएगा. इस देश में तमाम अवसर और नए आसमान आज भी मौजूद हैं. तुम्हारी मेहनत और योग्यता को राहुल गांधी और नरेंद्र मोदी मिलकर भी नहीं रोक सकते..

मेहनत करके ऐसा सामर्थ्यवान बनो कि कुछ लोगों का जीवन बदल सको. यही सच्ची देश सेवा होगी.

बाक़ी इस आंदोलित भेड़ियाधसान में कुछ नहीं रखा. जिस भैया-दीदी का भाषण सुनकर आज मज़ा आ रहा, वो दस साल बाद पार्टी बदलकर राजनीतिक भ्रष्टाचार में संलिप्त पाए जाएँगे. और तुम हाथ मलते रह जावोगे.

कम से कम इतिहास तो यही कहता है.

बिश्वास नहीं तो जेपी के सम्पूर्ण क्रांति से लेकर आज तक हुए आंदोलन का इतिहास उठाकर देख लो, आंदोलन, क्रांति और परिवर्तन के नाम पर भारत की जनता आज तक बेवक़ूफ़ ही बनती आई है. और आगे भी बनती रहेगी. कम से कम तुम तो न बनो.

जेपी के पास तो नैतिक जमीन भी थी, चरित्र भी था. उनके पीछे चलना भी गर्व का विषय था. तुम जिनके पीछे हो उनके पास कुछ नहीं है..बस सत्ता मिलने की देर है..ये भी उतने ही भ्रष्ट, अलोकतांत्रिक और ग़ैरजिम्मेदार हैं…

बुरा लगे तो माफ़ करना… आजकल ऐसी बातें कहने का जमाना नहीं रहा 😌

People like me exist. Not BJP fans, but honest enough to acknowledge its work on terrorism and infrastructure, while questioning its failures in education, law & order and the judiciary.

But that doesn’t mean I’ll suddenly start seeing Rahul Gandhi as PM material.

Musk attacking, Umar Khalid winning an international award, US interference, protests everywhere. Maybe these are separate issues, maybe not. But the timing does make you wonder.

I can oppose BJP without wanting its alternatives to run India.

This will get lost in the headlines, but is HUGE for cancer families.

BIG relief: Govt caps margins on non-scheduled anti-cancer drugs at 30%. Mark-ups currently average 170% and can cross 700%. Prices could fall up to 70%. Most welcome step.

"130 million Indians removed from voting" - this is the propaganda being spread around the world now by a coordinated operation.

Let's see where this "130 million" is coming from.

SIR is a constitutionally required revision of electoral rolls as per a section in Art 324, 1950 of the Indian constitution.

The govt has to do it. It was last done in 2003. It must have been done again last decade by 2013, but it was delayed for various reasons.

The world's largest population, India, registers deaths of about 5-6 million people a year (Covid was higher. And as per these same foreign propaganda accounts, it was "millions more").

Since 2003, until 2026 when SIR was done, in 23 years, 138 million Indians have died at 6 million deaths a year. Or 115 million at 5 million deaths a year.

Apart from this, so many Indians migrated to other cities, towns, and states. So they will also be removed from existing rolls as they already have new addresses to vote from.

Now, during 2026 SIR, EC has only made a draft count of Absent, Shifted, Dead and Duplicate entries - and this comes to 130+ million. It is not even final deletion - the list is challenged by parties, people via appeals, goes to court etc to get finalized.

So this "130 million removed from voting in India" is fake news and fear mongering deliberately done to make the world believe "India has deleted 130 million eligible voters in some unconstitutional scam operation."

The fake news and fear mongering is being spread in a coordinated way internationally. Along with planted nothing-burger reports creating doubts on EC and a protest movement on the same in the name of Gen-Z.

The GoI is totally failing in at least fighting the fake news and misinformation.

They seem to have zero independent network to counter these 'paid to post' international SM influencers that don't look like an IT cell defending the govt.

As for any influence in international media - forget it, India seems to have ZERO, while pauper Pakistan seems to run whatever news it wants on major media orgs. Shame.

And Indians themselves are not being educated well by GoI on what's SIR, the need for it etc. Forget fighting the misinfo campaign at international level.

Such gaps in information, communication, and PR is so easy to be used by adversaries for planting their own fake news to turn even Indians against the GoI.

Apathy and ineptitude in fighting infowar and PR cost. No matter how successful we are in internal and external security, and in fighting traditional means of war against the country.

I have said this before and will say it again - everything from some deranged boys throwing stones on Vande Bharat, to a perverted group doing gang rape, to riots in some cities, to protests and huge movements for regime change, are all being triggered and run via Social Media.

If our own people can be easily turned against us using misinfo and fake news within our own country, and we cannot do anything about it, then we are still weak.

[Abhijit Iyer-Mitra @Iyervval]

The BJP’s political calculus was right. The more upstarts on the left, the more the anti-BJP vote splits. Assume Rahul’s “chaatron ki goonj” worked, then CJP would split the GenZ vote. You don’t win 3 successive elections without thinking 5 steps ahead.

What is wrong with the Modi government and how easy it is to fix:-
1. Did well on infrastructure, roads, railways, and airports but ruined urban civic amenities.
2. Improved tax system but burdened taxpayers with heavy taxes.
3. Gave a free hand to the armed forces on Pakistan and equipment imports but harmed them with Agnivir and political interference at higher levels.
4. Improved fiscal health but wasted resources on excessive freebies.
5. Stopped appeasing Muslims and took action against homegrown terror but worsened caste divisions.
6. Did well in foreign affairs but faltered when facing US pressure.
7. Uncontrolled corruption in bureaucracy and judiciary. Online measures completely failed to stop corruption.
8. Not a single BJP-ruled state can be called better governed than opposition-ruled states.
There is much more to write. The more I write, the more BJP resembles a poorer version of Congress.

In 1492, Christopher Columbus didn't just "discover" the Americas (fun fact: he never actually set foot in the modern USA).

He pitched the wildest, highest-stakes Venture Capital deal in history—and secured a 10% equity stake in a continent.

DON'T MINCE WORDS !

What is happening with the IIT BOMBAY professor Dr Doolla is wrong! We neeed to stand up and fight against this injustice!

Education is being destroying this way. Who will stay in INDIA if this continues?

If we care about our beautiful INDIA, if we don't want brain drain, if we care for merit, let us stand up for Professor Dr Doolla!

2 other students committed suicide in IIT BOMBAY, they were from the GC.

We need to focus on IIT BOMBAY & why so many students committed suicide: not charge Professor Dr Doolla under the SC ST act.

TEAM BHARAT stands unconditionally with professor Dr Doolla.

Rahul Gandhi could not dent PM's image with a bulldozer. Modiji's own men are doing a better job.

A comic act at Rahul Gandhi’s Chhatron Ki Goonj in Indore yesterday has BJP leaders sweating this morning. Pulkit Mani on stage did Modi’s “My friend” act, the hug-diplomacy routine, the coin-trick-with-kids bit, and even the chair-for-an-elderly-woman heeheehee. Rahul khikhikhi-ed along. Shameful! That's how some CMs reacted. Union ministers called it disgusting. Dharmendra Pradhan, gone from the Cabinet for not giving answers to students, said students deserved answers, not political theatre. An insult to the PM, more chamchas chimed in.

No Rahul Gandhi can damage Modi's image like his sycophants do. No comedian can roast Modi harder than his own men do.

Just two days prior, his 76th was turned into a cringe fest by his own team. When a simple RT was demanded, they performed full aarti and stuffed 76 kg laddoos into his face on a portrait. 76 batuks poured milk into the Ganga, havan, yagna, what not. Some composed Sanskrit mantras, literal worship, Ram-like god language. Cute, wholesome, society WhatsApp group energy. Except it gives us Turkmenistan vibes in a nation that already admires the man like it rarely admires anyone outside the desi cinematic universe.

Admiration is democratic. Dugdhabhishek of a sitting Prime Minister is North Korean. Or, at best, South Indian, where hero worship has a place, but it's outside a multiplex in Chennai on a Friday, not as theatre on DDU Marg. The line between sycophancy and psycho-fancy has blurred.

Politicians are not perfect. Ennui is allowed. Granted. Modi has had a solid run, third time PM, charisma intact, still the most popular leader on the scene. The man is already larger than life. He does not need fan fiction, chalisa chaploosi, or Om NaMo Namah coinages.

At this point, he should sue his so-called supporters for misuse of name and likeness, for turning his bhakti into daily theatre. Instead of pushing Rahul and a mimic into a Streisand effect, the BJP needs to mute the people doing Om namo NaMo namah. The IT cells are already in a meme game fight. Don't supply more material.

Politics is enshittifying in real time, and the mockery wave is only loading. 2029 is still distant. The party can survive it. The BJP needs its own apparatchiks to stop cosplaying as unhinged Modi majnoos on main. Jai ho!

[EngiNerd. @mainbhiengineer]

This UPI MDR might be a totally useless idea but it has a huge lesson for Govt. Just see how difficult it's for Govt to charge fees on UPI via MDR after it has been free for years.

Now imagine the day Govt can't afford to give freebies. The way it's increasing before every election, at some point it will become unsustainable and Govt has to stop freebies, that will create unrest and make people hit the streets, because if given without any conditions, people start thinking Freebies as their right.

If Govt really keeps the nation above everything, they should make a law to stop new elections freebies right away otherwise it's just a matters of time, it'll explode.

Hope some people are still there with active brain cells and courage to take right decisions in Govt.

[Nalin Jha @nalinjha]

@Randeep_Sisodia @nsitharaman Sadly , The Government is getting totally disconnected from "sentiment" on ground. Electoral invincibility and lack of credible opposition has created that arrogance. It is small amount of 0.4% but it has deep sentimental impact.

[Kamlesh Singh / Tau @kkstau]

You are right about this tiny, capped fee on a few transactions ultimately having little impact on UPI. Your stats are solid, the reasoning is on point.

But fear and trust are emotions. Data does little to emotion. Emotions drive people. Negative emotions do more than just that.

[Indian @kunal_IRS]

We take extraordinary threats seriously because they are visible, sudden and shocking.

But what about a threat that reaches us quietly—through our everyday food?

My latest article examines why food adulteration has become normalised, why our response remains largely reactive, and why India needs to move from detection to prevention.

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Seems the Centre is misjudging the public mood right now. Why else introduce a fee on UPI and make things worse for your own standing?

Sure, running UPI costs money, no one expects it to be entirely free. But the cash-heavy system we had before cost significantly more. In reality, UPI saves the govt far more money than it takes to maintain.

Think of it like this: You used to pay ₹1,500 a month to ride a crowded bus. Then you switched to the metro, which costs only ₹800 a month. Instead of being happy that you're saving ₹700 every month and getting a better ride, you start complaining about spending ₹800. That’s exactly what’s happening here. The govt is complaining about the visible maintenance cost of UPI while completely ignoring the massive savings and value it has gained.

By shifting millions of transactions online, UPI reduced tax evasion, boosted compliance, and expanded the formal economy. It slashed cash-handling costs like printing, transport, and security, while ensuring cleaner, leak-proof welfare payouts. Its digital trail suppresses black money and fraud.

So why ruin one of the most successful systems India has ever built? The claim that merchants will absorb the cost instead of consumers is absurd. There isn't a single fee or tax levied on businesses in India that doesn't ultimately get passed down to the buyer. A 0.4% fee, even capped at ₹300 per transaction, will simply be tacked onto consumer bills, driving people right back to using cash.

[Aravind @aravind]

This can't be coincidence.
