@bdquinn@naval They can be called medical advances if they improve life span of US citizens. Given that so many advances happened in the US. Does US have the highest life expectancy in the world?
@airtelindia you have made it impossible for me to reach customer care. My WiFi is down and my customer care number doesn’t allow me a wifi issue option at all.
@Akshat_World Problem with Goa is not just cost, it’s lack of law and order. You want us to hate India but love Goa because you invested there. Genius!
It’s good to aspire to be part of the World Cup but the reason shouldn’t be that some small nation did it so we should too.. if India is not good at any sport, that’s a thing to worry but just measuring a country by only football doesn’t make sense. Maybe we don’t play enough football or we aren’t just as good as other countries.
Here’s what I don’t understand. India is getting more investments across states. Why cry over AP getting investments all the time ? Frankly RE is an extension and happened before TVK took over. AP is developing its own ports and mazagon is winning bid. How is it TN losing? Your governments’ problems can’t be blamed on AP. Till now you were crying that DMK were telugu so your state is in trouble, now you again you claim some minister from AP? nonsense has an end
@varunkrish Look at the pattern .. every time any murder, rape or crime happens in any country other than India, respective citizens will condemn the incident, behaviour or crime. Le Indians - ‘ashamed to be Indian’
Central Government’s move on Delhi Gymkhana Club is not merely an administrative decision. It is a long-overdue correction of Delhi’s most entitled drawing-room ecosystem.
My family lived for nearly 27 to 30 years right opposite the Gymkhana Club, at the Government bungalow, 4 Safdarjung Lane. My late father Shrikant Verma and my late mother Veena Verma were both Members of Parliament, and yet neither they nor I ever found this sick place worthy of becoming members.
That itself says enough.
For decades, such spaces functioned like private republics of inherited privilege, where surnames mattered more than merit, access was treated like ancestry, and public land became the comfort zone of a self-appointed elite.
The so-called “elitist club culture” slowly became a museum of nepotism, colonial hangover and social gatekeeping. The same people who lecture India on democracy suddenly panic when privilege is asked to vacate the lawn.
National interest must always stand above cocktail entitlement.
Delhi does not belong to closed circles, legacy surnames and old-boy networks. It belongs to the Republic of India.
Well done, Central Government. Some clubs needed reform. Some needed eviction. This one clearly needed both.
