We mock Narayana Murthy for 70-hour weeks - teach our kids to copy
Allu Arjun’s dance steps and call them heroes, then cry why no Indian LLM, why no trillionaire?

America just minted Musk — the world’s first $1 trillion man.

We don’t idolise builders. We idolise people who pretend to be them.

[Derek O'Brien | ডেরেক ও'ব্রায়েন @derekobrienmp]

Agree. But do not absolve those resigning from Rajya Sabha. TRAITORS ALL. They will come back to Rajya Sabha on BJP tickets, as the composition of the Bengal Assembly has changed. Just wait a few months.

[Sabeer Bhatia @sabeer]

The Indian mind is not truly free. A child growing up in India is exposed to constant negativity: cultism sold as religion, unequal opportunities, vulgar displays of ill-gotten wealth, a deeply transactional society, normalized corruption, unhealthy competition that often breeds schadenfreude, and the repeated triumph of compromised institutions and businesses.

The saddest part? The moment you point out these behaviors and ask for reform, the protectors of the system rush to label you “anti-national” rather than engage with the criticism.

A nation grows when it can confront its flaws honestly, not when it silences those who dare to point them out.

[Muthukrishnan Dhandapani @dmuthuk]

In such cut throat geopolitics, one cannot entirely rule out international conspiracies and interferences. However, attributing every single failure in our country to some "deep state" is superficial.

In my view, many of our failures are of our own making. And as a sovereign nation, do we not have the ability to counter such international conspiracies?

[Abhishek Singhvi @DrAMSinghvi]

When diplomat Devyani Khobragade was humiliated and arrested in the US in 2013, Dr. Manmohan Singh’s government responded firmly. Diplomatic privileges were reviewed, special facilities withdrawn, and India’s national dignity upheld.

Today, after the tragic killing of three Indian sailors, where is that same resolve? Why this deafening silence? A strong foreign policy is not about headlines and photo-ops; it is about standing up for every Indian citizen, everywhere. The nation deserves answers.

[Sandeep Manudhane @sandeep_PT]

Xi Jinping took charge of China in 2013.

Modi of India in 2014.

Maybe instead of comparing Modi with Nehru ji, it'll be a more fruitful exercise to compare his performance with that of Xi Jinping.

On AI
On R&D
On STEM
On Exports
On Employment
On Manufacturing
On Public nutrition
On Public education
On Mass prosperity ...

Maybe that'll help all of us much more in setting our national goals better.

Theee is nothing to do in Indian languages on LLM stop being idiots

[Manasa Manjunath @ManeeManjunath]

Mr. @NandanNilekani wrote why India shouldn’t be building its own LLM just in April, so he is the absolute worst choice to head such an undertaking. We need to poach Indian bigwigs in OpenAI, Anthropic,… and have them head it instead.

[Sanjay K Jha @whoskj2]

Rahul Gandhi will address a series of youth rallies: June 17 - Kota, July 10 - Allahabad, July 11 - Patna, July 14- Delhi. All this is fine but nothing will change unless Election Commission becomes fair & objective. A massive protest, like farmers' movement, is required.

[Priyashmita @priyashmita]

Quick question to journalists- when you sang paeans for a leader, and now writing censures of the same leader, do you ever say sorry we got it wrong?

[Swati Chaturvedi @bainjal]

Dear @vineetjaintimes are you really happy with employing the “KACHRA of media” India’s national joke Ms Imma Bounce as your @TimesNow Editor?

[Rahul @Rahulein]

Thanks Rajdeep u have stopped the monkey balancing finally and are now
Behaving like the fighter ur mother is

Kudos and all the best

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

IMPORTANT: Dear Mr @N_RamchanderRao do read section 33 A of the Rep of People Act. Section 33A deals with disclosure of criminal antecedents by a candidate. Broadly, a candidate is required to disclose information where he or she is accused of an offence punishable with imprisonment of two years or more and where charges have been framed by a competent court, or where the candidate has been convicted and sentenced to imprisonment of one year or more. None of these conditions exist in the Meenakshi Natarajan case. In fact, Hyderabad court refused to take cognisance of the case today, albeit on procedural grounds but there is no prima facie case made out against Ms Natarajan either in this private complaint . Far from it in fact with no FIR also filed naming her.
As for the returning officer, he is not expected to act in a mechanical manner. Please read para 6 (6):
Para 6(6) says there is a presumption that every nomination paper is valid unless the contrary is prima facie obvious or has been made out. In case of a reasonable doubt as to the validity of a nomination paper, the benefit of such doubt must go to the candidate concerned. Please also read Para 10(12) that says that where the prescribed affidavit has not been filled at all, or where the affidavit has been filed but is found or considered defective or containing false information, the nomination should not be rejected on that ground alone. Clearly this means that the candidate must be given a fair chance to explain if at all any defect is found.
Net net: it is apparent that the case was decided in an arbitary manner and justice should be done to avoid such rulings that diminish public faith in the election process.
I am sorry to turn to my original profession of a lawyer here with this lengthy response . I have no skin in this political game , have never even met Ms Natarajan but will speak out when there is a blatant miscarriage of justice . I sure hope the day doesn’t come when a nomination is rejected for a non disclosure of a parking offence next. Indian democracy deserves better 🙏

Only an intelligent, honest, compassionate, optimistic & clear headed person could have given this speech. This is what sets Rahul Gandhi apart from the others who seek immediate gains at whatever the cost to the nation!

You are quite senior to me but my frustration with the policy initiatives and the mindless buybacks with our IT majors when they should have been buying operating AI businesses forces me to ask:

‘Were you sleeping all these years?’

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

IMPORTANT: NO criminal case pending against Meenakshi Natarajan in Telangana matter clarifies a Hyderabad court, returns the private petition citing lack of jurisdiction. This happens exactly in the week where her election nomination was rejected by a returning officer because of this very case and SC refused to intervene and asked her to file an election petition in HC instead. So who will now ensure justice is done to her and institutional integrity maintained? @ECISVEEP @indSupremeCourt . ANYONE?? https://t.co/Hc7OwXOtel

The investment was made to a non profit long ago. That was for public good. There was no valuation. As for Vishal, check what has he achieved after leaving Infy? If he was such a great visionary he would have a very very large AI co like Sam Altman.

[Mohandas Pai @TVMohandasPai]

PM @narendramodi Sir we need an India AI Mission under you with @NandanNilekani as vice chair and others from the private sector and govt. to Help India tackle the AI Revolution. We are way behind and need a national mission to get going quickly. Existing govt programs are too slow, way too small to make any large impact. We need an annual 50000 cr fund for deep tech and AI, a 200,000 cr ELGS Guarantee Fund to build Hyper cloud, hardware and chips. @AshwiniVaishnaw @nsitharaman @PiyushGoyal @FinMinIndia @RBI We need a Very Large National Mission. @AmitShah @amitmalviya

Rather than blaming Modi for Failure, you should put your plan of action to revive economy if people voted you and congress party again to power. If you don’t have any convincing plans, your statement makes no sense! @RahulGandhi

[Sanjeev Gupta @sanjg2k1]

Leaving aside the politics of @BJP4India and @INCIndia, the case of Meenakshi Natarajan represents a complete travesty of justice and fair play by the entire system, cutting across all pillars of democracy.

✅ The Returning Officer rejected her nomination in blatant violation of Section 33A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, read with Section 210 & 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

✅ On 11.06.2026, despite fervent pleas made by @DrAMSinghvi, @ECISVEEP sat on the judgment, and the Supreme Court declined to intervene even for a day till proper hearing. With no interim order by the Apex Court or the ECI, the Returning Officer declared the result!

✅ The matter was heard by the Supreme Court this forenoon. However, without examining the apparent illegality in the Returning Officer's order, the petition was dismissed in terms of the attached order on the ground that Article 329 bars judicial intervention after the declaration of results and that only an Election Petition can now be filed.

✅ While the fate of the case was effectively sealed when the Supreme Court declined to stay the declaration of the result, it was surprising to hear a legal luminary of Mr. Mukul Rohatgi's stature argue that the description of an entry in Form 26 overrides Section 33A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951!!

✅ Let me attempt to demonstrate why that contention is untenable. Form 26 was prescribed under Rule 4A of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961, which themselves derive their authority from the Representation of the People Act, 1951. Yet it was implicitly argued that Entry 5(ii) of Form 26 overrides Section 33A of the parent statute!!

✅ Moreover, even after Section 33A and Rule 4A were introduced in August–September 2002, @SpokespersonECI, through its letter dated 10.09.2012, categorically clarified that Entry 5(ii) covers only those cases in which cognizance has been taken by a competent court. That condition was clearly not applicable in the case of @MNatarajanINC.

✅ Appearing virtually from London, Mr. Rohatgi argument, that a candidate's right to contest elections is merely a statutory right and not afundamental right, may hold relevance in normal circumstances. However, this was no ordinary case. By adopting a perverse interpretation of Section 33A, the Returning Officer descended to the nadir of partisan conduct and effectively denied the candidate the equal protection of the law guaranteed under Article 14 of the Constitution. In this case, Section 210 read with 223 of BNSS makes it conclusively fall beyond the purview of Entry 5(ii) of Form 26.

I would be happy to be corrected by anyone looking at facts and laws objectively. I am sure that @sardesairajdeep @_YogendraYadav @KapilSibal @adrspeaks @Mukul_Rohatgi @harishsalvee et al will appreciate that, by not intervening in time, #GyaneshKumar led ECI and the top court just let the case shift from Article 32 to Article 329 and the Returning Officer hide under it.
