People are not leaving India because they hate India.
They are leaving because they are tired.
Tired of paying high taxes and getting dirty streets in return. Tired of garbage on roads, overflowing drains, poor civic management, and endless excuses from those in power.
The internet has changed everything. Indians can now see how taxpayers are treated in other countries. They can see clean cities, strict enforcement, accountability, and basic respect for public spaces.
That is why many of India's highest taxpayers, skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, and young talent are choosing to build their future elsewhere.
The real tragedy is that people are losing faith that things will ever improve.
Clean cities do not require rocket science. They require intent, enforcement, and accountability.
If governments cannot ensure clean streets, enforce civic discipline, and provide basic quality of life, they should stop asking why people are leaving and start asking why people no longer believe staying is worth it.
All this drama of going to 5 foreign countries every month to bring "business" is plain stupid.
Solve basics things, like:-
1) No dogs/animals on roads
2) Proper garbage collection
3) Easy availability of taxis (& fair pricing)
This itself boosts tourism by 15-20% especially foreign tourists. And, helps bring foreign $ (which we desperately need now).
Best part: the budget for 1 foreign visit can be used to solve all above issues in places like Goa.
We won't do it. Because we are "talk" economy.
Not an action economy.
It is common sense to pick low hanging fruits first.
But, who cares about common sense.

Rajesh Mehta did an alleged scam of 15 lakh crores, now people want answers.
When they couldn’t find out what happened to 15 lakhs how will they find out what happened to 15 lakh crores? 🤣
Bro is getting more savage by the day 🗿
The cab driver who assaulted a 75-year-old man in Thane — seen in a video that went viral and prompted Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to seek stringent action — was tracked down through a sting operation by Shiv Sena workers who posed as customers seeking a ride. The victim, Sarosh Dastoor, has fractured his right leg and is recovering at Jupiter Hospital.
Workers used the vehicle’s registration number to get the car owner’s contact details, then called him pretending to book a cab to Lalbaug in Parel. The owner passed on driver Nishant Shukla’s number. When Shukla was contacted, he agreed to the trip and rode to the designated spot on his motorcycle. Party workers identified and detained him there before handing him over to police.
“Using the registration number of the vehicle, we obtained the address and contact details of the car owner. One of our workers called the owner pretending to be a customer seeking a ride to Lalbaug in Parel. The owner then shared Shukla’s mobile number. When contacted, Shukla agreed to take the trip and as he was roaming on his bike in the vicinity, he arrived at the designated location on his motorcycle, assuring that he would be bringing his car. As soon as he reached there, party workers identified and detained him before handing him over to the police,” said local Shiv Sena leader Nitesh Patole, who was among those involved in tracing the accused.
Workers from the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray faction were also part of the search.
The Vartak Nagar police have charged Shukla under Section 109 (attempt to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. He has been remanded to two days of police custody. The case was registered on the complaint of a member of the search team, as Dastoor has not personally filed a complaint. Police said his statement has not been recorded yet as he is still recovering physically and emotionally, and will be taken once he is in a better condition.
The assault took place near Jupiter Hospital in Thane West around 8 pm on Tuesday, when Dastoor and his wife were on an evening walk outside their residential building. Shukla was allegedly gargling and spitting repeatedly on the road when Dastoor objected. An argument turned violent and Shukla allegedly began abusing and assaulting the senior citizen.
Eyewitness Ganesh Jadhav, who runs a coconut stall near the spot, said the altercation escalated quickly. “The cab driver was standing near his vehicle and was allegedly gargling water and repeatedly spitting on the road. Dastoor objected to his behaviour and requested him not to spit in public places. An argument ensued, which quickly turned violent after Shukla allegedly began abusing and assaulting the senior citizen,” Jadhav said.
Amit Samanta, a manager at a nearby shop, said he rushed out after hearing the commotion. “It was closing time and I heard an altercation outside the shop. The customer in the shop rushed out. I also came and saw a man assaulting the senior citizen, who then fell on the footpath. The same customer intervened, stopped the fight and took the injured man to Jupiter Hospital in his car as he had sustained injuries to his right leg,” Samanta said.
Dastoor and his wife live alone in a housing society near the hospital. A security guard at the building said he had worked there for three years and saw the elderly couple on their evening walks almost every day.
Shinde called the Thane Police Commissioner seeking stringent action, including the addition of an attempt to murder charge given the gravity of the offence. MP Shrikant Shinde spoke to Dastoor over a video call at the hospital, inquired about his health and assured him of support. Despite approaches from multiple political parties, Dastoor has declined political support. Patole said Shukla later claimed he turned violent after Dastoor allegedly abused him in English.
Oh bhai..😭😭
Today I was watching Dhurandhar-2 in Hotstar and burst out laughing.
Humza informs that ₹60,000 crore fake currency is coming for the UP elections.
So our Great Visionary leader immediately takes action and announces Demonetisation.
Meanwhile, just a few seconds later, Humza burns all the fake currency.
Bhai, jab burn hi kar diya tha, toh Demonetisation karke desh ki GDP growth 8.5% se 4% kyun gira di?
Meanwhile,1% GDP loss is roughly ₹2.5 lakh crore.
UP Corruption free ho gaya..
Mandir tak mein Ghotale ho rahe hai..

The @mybmc has imposed a meagre Rs 27 lakh penalty on the contractor of the 750-meter Mrinaltai Gore flyover extension, which took 8 years to complete after being commissioned in 2018.
Workers have been doing finishing work on the newly-inagurated flyover, levelling mastic ashpalt near drains an edges.
Alll this as the cost ballooned by 45% from the original estimate of Rs 170.82 crores to a massive Rs 248 crores.
During construction, the contractor was penalised on multiple counts. Time to blacklist these contractors. Ensure they do not bid after forming another company. 😡
Excellent reporting by @richapintoi exposing how troubled flyovers are draining taxpayers.
This man is an advocate ,on requesting him to pick up his dog’s poop he asked us to clean the entire road first ..Everyday he comes from his lane to our parking lane in aram nagar 1 Harminder Singh marg to make him poop @AndheriLOCA@mybmc pls teach him what is his job
