If not for babu's sub-4m rule, you'd still have Polo. The current European Polo is 4.08 m long. Missed by a whisker.

Industry has moved from prototype to production and exports, while the Army is still figuring out when to place an order.

Excellent! Emission norms clownery exists only to increase car sales and has nothing to do with pollution, atleast in India.

Pick your fav Engines if your pocket allows before they disappear. I picked GLA Diesel last year not to regret later. One life.

I have a dream. That one day India would have a Prime Minister who is not afraid to speak out about Hindu persecution at an international platform.

Or even a domestic one.

In Bangladesh. In Pakistan. Even in India.

New paper “The Ghost of Population Past: How Population Control Persists in India” by @sanjeevsanyal @AakankshaArora5 & Virat Singh,argues that with a total fertility rate of 1.9, India is below replacement fertility.Yet, population control remains embedded in government policies

Banks saying Retail is prefering UPI over CBDC; so they are deploying programmable CBDC for DBTs. However UPI is a hindrance to retail adoption of CBDCs at mass scale.

Then how do you solve this puzzle, impose a nominal charge - nudge theory.

Nudge the people towards transaction charge free E-Rupee tokens alias CBDCs which are programmable.

This will be next step!

1. Make money for American companies running UPI app, Google pay, Phone Pe etc (near term)
2. Push people towards CBDC and further the slavery (longer term)

Voting the same way every time and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity !
Vote #NOTA - because just a 5-10% shift from the BJParty to NOTA will make all politicians sweat and you heard if you really value quality of life more than the average moron on the street voting for freebies, religion and caste!

Not Agian!!

The compulsion to sell vaccines is so high that the Ministry of “health” is pushing a vaccine claim that even the vaccine manufacturers are not claiming.

Ministry says vaccine prevents HPV. But even Merck says you need to keep testing to see if it works.

Why such madness?! Who is benefiting?

PS: Happy Janmashtami! Only Lord almighty can save us from such “health and welfare” ministry

[Nachiket Deshpande @nachiket1982]

The confidence you display while being this spectacularly wrong is genuinely impressive.

“Lack of maintenance” caused chemical corrosion? That’s not engineering - it’s a PR script wearing a lab coat.

You can’t “maintain” your way out of fuel chemistry. Ethanol absorbs moisture; phase separation and corrosion are chemistry, not a missed service appointment.

I personally filed the RTI seeking ARAI/IOCL durability data. If the science is so bulletproof, why is the underlying evidence still so hard for consumers to see?

And please spare us “Gadkari Ji’s vision.” The same minister told the Bombay High Court in an 86-page affidavit that he has no statutory or administrative role in the E20 mandate.

You’re not defending engineering. You’re laundering a PR talking point through technical jargon.

Come to the open X Space by @FactswithDinesh @OGTeamBharat .
Bring the data. Leave the script, or bring it on.

[Nachiket Deshpande @nachiket1982]

Watching "influencers" vomit sarkari PR scripts about a subject they have zero engineering grasp of would be comical if it weren't such a daylight insult to every taxpayer and motorist in this country.

'Grossly exaggerated claims'?
- SIAM’s own leaked communication to the Petroleum Ministry explicitly red-flagged a massive surge in field failures across high-pressure fuel pumps, injectors, and EGR valves due to severe corrosion, water ingress, and chloride contamination. These aren't imaginary breakdowns; they are catastrophic, five-figure out-of-warranty hardware bills that ordinary citizens are quietly forced to absorb while you sit in front of a ring light reciting talking points.

'Extensive testing in India'?
What a laugh. If these tests were so rigorous, transparent, and conclusive, why are government bodies and testing agencies treating the raw durability reports like top-secret state files? Multiple RTI applications demanding the actual ARAI and IOCL test data - specifically on legacy engine wear, phase separation, and fuel line corrosion - have been stonewalled or denied under commercial secrecy exemptions. You don't get to boast about 'extensive scientific validation' while actively hiding the lab logs from the public.

And please, spare us the poetry about 'Shri Nitin Gadkari ji’s strategic push'. The man literally hauled people to the Bombay High Court in an ₹11-crore defamation suit, submitting an 86-page filing swearing under oath that he has zero statutory or administrative connection to the ethanol mandate and that MoPNG runs the whole show. When the very minister you’re hyping went to court specifically to wash his hands of the policy, who exactly are you auditioning for?

Reading a PR brief on camera doesn't make you a fuel scientist. Team Bharat @OGTeamBharat hosts regular X Spaces breaking down the actual mechanical, chemical, and economic fiasco of this rollout. Hai himmat to aao stage pe aur debate karo face-to-face - let's see how long your recycled script survives against actual data, chemistry, and RTI documents.

E20 is NOT at all India’s National Energy Security Plan. Let’s stop pretending that mixing more ethanol into petrol is some grand national strategy.

Ethanol can be a small part of India’s energy security strategy but making E20 the centrepiece and then shouting “energy security” from top of your terrace is a paid PR from your end which is proved already … Real energy security means diversification … Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Renewables, Biofuels, Critical minerals.. etc …

So just tell me WHERE IS INDIA’S COMPLETE NATIONAL ENERGY SECURITY PLAN?

Or is the entire plan just stuck to your IT Cell scripts or @nitin_gadkari copy paste policy of “Petrol mein ethanol badhao aur Energy Security bol do.”

Kyunki bhai E20 is just a fuel blending policy. And not any National Energy Security Strategy.
