Pai outlines a clear 5-point agenda: remove regulatory friction, end tax harassment, fix justice delivery for the aam aadmi, simplify foreign exchange rules, and reset policy thinking for scale.

1⃣Remove unnecessary regulations:
Trust citizens by cutting inspector raj, ending annual licence renewals, and shifting to permanent approvals.

2️⃣ Stop tax terrorism:
Penalise officials who repeatedly lose cases, curb excessive tax demands, introduce maker-checker systems.

3️⃣ Reform justice for India’s aam aadmi:
Withdraw decades-old non-violent criminal cases, clear frivolous government appeals, set up special benches for commercial disputes, and increase the number of judges.

4️⃣ Review foreign exchange regulations
Remove fear-driven controls, end criminal liability, and eliminate outdated, unnecessary compliances that hurt enterprise.

5️⃣ Policy reset towards a $10-trillion economy: Review everything the government does and bring in bold reforms that liberate businesses.

Society’s become so straight-laced and it’s not good for people. The early internet recognised that humans are 360-degree people with dark and wonderful things. Now we’re kicked into a corner online based on the moral values of three people in Nebraska

Three out of four audio clips tested were found to be AI-generated. One of the audio clips which was found to have little evidence of manipulation is too short to be accurately tested.

Walking on eggshells at workplaces is a thing, courtesy that one eccentric senior who has to exercise authority and power. The usual targets are freshers, mostly those who are enthusiastic about work and give it all to work. (1/n)
