Most of the rest of India with their nicer and faster trains don't really understand what we go through in Keralam. This is the condition of most of our MEMU trains.
Discarded EMU rakes that reached end of life after running for 20 years on the Chennai Suburban network. Southern Railway promptly shunts all the oldest coaches in the zone to run in Keralam. This particular rake was built in 2002 and is now 24 years old!
What I can't capture here is the smell - That musty stink of decades of wet, rusting steel mixed with god knows what else. This train would've been considered a toxic health hazard in any other country. Okay - we don't have many industries but we are human too and deserve to travel in a minimum level of dignity. @gmsrailway @railminindia @vdsatheesan @AshwiniVaishnaw

On 15 August 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced from the Red Fort that India will finally have a Chief of Defence Staff (CDS). On January 1, 2020, Gen Bipin Rawat became the first CDS of India. The creation of the Department of Military Affairs (DMA) was a bonus the armed forces never expected to get. Seven years down the line after the first announcement, the three forces are still figuring out (a stronger term can be used here, but I will not) how to achieve the eventual objective of joint theatre commands. Veterans have been vocal about how to or how not to go about the journey. The serving have occasionally expressed their opinions in public too. We ourselves at @BharatShaktiBSI have been providing a platform for these opinions, including my own.
Having reviewed the trajectory so far, I have come to a conclusion: Ultimately, the Prime Minister, in consultation with top stakeholders (Raksha mantri, NSA and CDS, to name just three) will have to crack the whip and force a decision sooner than later.
The decision on a structure and the way forward for formation of joint theatre commands will eventually have to be taken by those entrusted with it no matter how many angry, reasoned or silly sounding suggestions we outsiders (veterans and peripheral commentators like me) make. I see no other way having watched the discussions, debates and deliberations so far.

@sanjeevsanyal The AI generated videos of 50+ men with washerboard abs with AI generated V/o is quite irritating to say the least.

This is a message to all social media platforms. I have zero interest in Tai Chi walking. I have even less interest in it than horse hoof trimming (at least, I did find it interesting on the first occasion). And if I need to lose the beer belly, I will find another way......

@YearOfTheKraken Seems to be an agenda here and someone with vested interest at @IndianExpress seems to be actually pushing it. The headline crying big ticket scam...copy saying everything above board. Even today a followup story on this. Needs a deeper investigation @Iyervval @ShivAroor

A destination may begin with a landscape, but its real impact is measured in livelihoods, enterprise and opportunity 💫

The ASSOCHAM National Tourism Conclave will explore how technology, enabling policy, investment and global partnerships can help India build a tourism economy that is more competitive, inclusive and future-ready.

From strengthening regional destinations to unlocking new business opportunities across hospitality, mobility and local enterprise, the conversation will focus on turning India’s tourism potential into sustained economic value.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.

May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?

Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?

In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?

The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.

It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.

Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.

Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?

India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.
