Trust but VERIFY: The rumour mongering,Watsapp forward reliant lot shud remember it,before they spread damaging lies

[Ashish K. Mishra @akm1410]

When a civilian government relies on the armed forces to transport exam papers, it issues a public declaration that its own civilian administration is fundamentally compromised, incompetent, and incapable of performing its designated tasks.

There are media reports that Tamil Nadu government has explicitly told public work contractors and real estate builders not to pay any money for their party and quote only actuals.

President of the Tamil Nadu PWD Engineering Contractors Association, has publicly confirmed that contractors are now being told they no longer need to pay any commissions or bribes.

Real estate builders sources also confirm the development.

If this is something which is implemented and maintained, huge progress in terms of probity in public life.

Let's wait and watch.

The great Indian oil spill: a cold-pressed-to-refined thriller
Indian consumers footed a staggering Rs 1.72 lakh crore bill in FY26 to import cooking oils. This year, the bill may surpass Rs 2 lakh cr.

This is way more than the entire annual budget of the agriculture ministry.

And unlike imported fertilizers and crude oil, no one shields consumers when global cooking oil prices spike.

India imports 60% of its cooking oil needs now.

But in the early 1990s, India had achieved a brief period of atmanirbharta.

Then it lost the plot to cheap palm. Then to high-yielding GM or transgenic soy- that it imports in large quantities and consumes, but won't allow its farmers to plant.

With its atmanirbharta, India is also losing a part of its culinary heritage. Kachhi-ghani desi oils making way for solvent extracted foreign oils.

Misery for local mustard, groundnut, sesame, soy growers who switched to other profitable crops like rice, maize, horticulture etc.

Yet, there's more to the story which involves the legendary Verghese Kurien of Amul fame. With some arson, deaths and conspiracy theories thrown in.

Borrowing Kurien's words, a final question: Who are the "scoundrels" who got us here?

मुझे हमेशा लगता है कि नफ़रत फैलाने वाले तथाकथित "पत्तलकारों" का सबसे सशक्त जवाब हमारी बहन-बेटियाँ दे सकती हैं।

अक्सर युवा लड़के इनके भड़काऊ जुमलों और उकसावे का शिकार होकर वही भाषा बोलने लगते हैं, जिसकी ये लोग अपेक्षा रखते हैं। इससे उनका एजेंडा ही मज़बूत होता है।

हमारे समाज में साहसी, शिक्षित और विवेकशील बहनों की कोई कमी नहीं है।

ज़रूरत है उन्हें संगठित करने, मंच देने और नेतृत्व में आगे लाने की। नफ़रत का सबसे प्रभावी जवाब शोर नहीं, बल्कि साहस, विवेक और संवाद है..!

Making comparisons like this with a county under American sanctions.

And then not talking about how education and health levels in Iran are better than Gujarat.

Not to mention things like female literacy.

It took me nearly a year to get my tax refund because there was a ₹8000 discrepancy. How is a company defrauding $158 billion over 15 years and getting away with it? No wonder people don't have faith in any kind of system.

No tourist wants to come to India - and no first world country likes Indians .

This is the stark reality except few exceptions .

We have managed to make the world hate us by our activities within the country and outside the country !

[Anirudh Chakradhar @anione_there]

@atti_cus The problem is that we don't care about our commons. Caste is a major reason for this.
Along with this, municipal governance is sham, and we don't ask for reform or accountability in this area. Most of us only focus on MP and PM, and wont even know who the corporator is.
