It was a much bigger protest than most of us anticipated. I think for a moment, even the govt might have been caught off guard.
So, hats off to the Aam Aadmi Party. These guys understand mass psychology, especially youth psychology, better than most other politicians, and they know how to manipulate it and use it to their advantage. Even Congress, a much larger party with more resources and experience, cannot mobilize this kind of protest.
Also, this event again exposes the BJP’s ongoing vulnerability in the modern info-war. They fail to recognize a fundamental truth: the youth are inherently anti-establishment, aggressive, and driven by cultural trends. If a protest is perceived as "cool" and culturally dominant, participation explodes because joining becomes a way to signal belonging and status. You cannot counter this energy with outdated hashtags or by reminding the youth how bad things were under previous regimes. That historical comparison means nothing to a generation that never lived through it. The youth do not judge a govt against its past; they judge it against their own expectations for the future.
To fix this, the most important thing is BJP must aggressively reform its communication machinery. Fire the absolute dinosaurs running their digital strategy, those pre-2014 social media relics are still trapped in a time capsule, utterly clueless about the modern internet. These digital fossils don't understand anything beyond spamming robotic IT-cell hashtags and forcing artificial trends that everyone sees right through. In their place, the party must hire actual youth who live and breathe modern internet culture to build organic, decentralized narratives.
ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀
Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.
History is made. 🇮🇳

@HBJ3221@iron_heart9@sadist_2003 If anything this should serve as a wake up call to their social media team, this isn’t 2014 where Facebook boomer audience will be the major voting cohort, Instagram heavy first time voters need to be addressed well
@iron_heart9@sadist_2003 But this move won’t stop the march to parliament on 20th, if anything it will give these cause less activits a cause to gather
The good news is, I am not always right. That's just hype. While my intuition believes what I said will happen in 2030s, more than my intuition, what 1.4 billion imagine and believe shapes the collective future.
So if the govt wants to keep continuing, providing political stability, it is imperative they take social media and media psyops by adversaries programming our people's thoughts and imagination very seriously.
And start acting to curtail, control, and counter it. Right away. Start today.
Not just insta, but all of Meta platforms need to be considered as meddling in India's democracy and sovereignty.
They are completely infiltrated by China funded, Pak run GLISCO-DS operatives.
IMO, X is also slowly being infiltrated from the inside not just by turning influential accounts against India. Reddit is already completely taken over.
Some try to counter me saying, "why GoI has to do everything, why can't citizens do it?"
The issue is not patriots like us not fighting the infowar, the issue is the state level funding, backing, and infiltration that's allowing such psyops to run and be amplified - while suppressing any counter by us.
Classic communist method. We know where it is being exported to the world from.
Ordinary citizens can't fight military backed infowar and state backed infiltration of social media platforms to selectively amplify certain narratives and suppress, shadow ban, suspend others. Or state media of many countries constantly doing propaganda against India.
Only GoI, MIB, MEA can do these things. Like build resources to monitor the misinformation and psyops, enable and empower citizens to report them and fight them better, take up the issue of blatant fake news of state media with host countries, or the issue of creating trouble for Indians or driving sentiment against India in partner countries.
@IndianTechGuide Key reason for high employee turnover at ISRO remains low pay despite highly skilled work (literally rocket scientists ). Rather than restricting resignations which will ultimately restrict new talent joining, govt should increase salaries. Take funds from ladli behna if need be.
There is a reason why a lot of doctors who have graduated in India move abroad for further studies, career opportunities and never return.
There are challenges everywhere in the world but none as terrible as facing something like this.
@richapintoi There is a clear correlation between where this is located and who uses this entry path - those who know will understand. I’m afraid this won’t be solved
