@kunalkamra88 Weak pm cries when they hear misery of farmers. Strong Pm will dig highways, sent BSF, Water Canons and lap dog Arnbs to counter farmers.
Welcome to Mumbai’s newest flyover worth ₹248 crore. At 750 metres of road, that’s ₹33 lakh a metre.
And it opened this week full of potholes.
The flyover is named after the iconic Mrinal Tai Gore, who spent her whole life fighting so ordinary Mumbaikars got a life of dignity.
After seven years, three cost revisions, and a daily penalty on the contractor - this is all they could come up with to honour her?
But kya karein. This is the standard now under the triple-engine sarkar. Cut the ribbon. Click the photo. Leave the potholes for us. Bajao taali.
मोदी सरकार बनने के बाद पहला स्कैम कौन सा था, याद है आपको??
फ़रवरी 2016 मे Ringing Bells नाम की कंपनी भारत का सबसे सस्ता स्मार्टफोन
फ्रीडम 251 लॉन्च करती है.
सरकार इसको अपने मेक इन इंडिया प्रोग्राम का हिस्सा बताती है.
सरकार के मन्त्री इसको प्रोमोट करते हैँ.
बुकिंग के लिए वेबसाइट ओपन होती है
7 करोड़ लोग ऑनलाइन पेमेंट करते हैँ.
24 घंटे बाद वेबसाइट क्रैश हो जाती है.
पता लगता है और बुकिंग नहीं होगी.
लोग डिलीवरी का इंतजार करते हैँ 6 महीने तक
बाद मे पता लगता है कोई फ़ोन नहीं आने वाला.
पब्लिक के 1757 करोड़ डूब जाते हैँ. मोहित गोयल पर कार्यवाही होती है, गिरफ्तार होता है
लेकिन 6 महीने बाद जमानत हो जाती है.
सवाल ये है कि ज़ब सरकार को पता था कोई फ़ोन 250 रूपये मे नहीं तैयार होता, उसके पार्ट्स तक नहीं आते, फिर इस कंपनी को मंज़ूरी दी किसने??
और किन किन मन्त्री लोगों का हिस्सा रहा होगा इस स्कैम मे??
आजतक ये बात रहस्य बनी हुईं है.
जागो जनता जागो.
ये सरकार नहीं स्कैम सरकार है.. 🙏
The doctor’s name is Dr. P.K. Chaturvedi. He originally demanded ₹25,000 for the surgery. Although the mother had secured orders from the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for free treatment due to extreme poverty… Still the hospital staff forced her to pay ₹8000. Even though The 14-year-old victim, who is reportedly mentally unwell and speech-impaired during a follow-up check-up, the doctor forcibly bent and fractured the already-joined bone again.
I have immense respect for bikers slowing down to help a rickshaw puller haul a heavy load uphill or through traffic.
In a world where many only watch, they choose to help. I can only watch and silently admire them.
Mercedes of Vivek Agarwal.
Parked in Malviya Nagar. Waiting for its owner. Who will never be back, neither will his family. 8 family members perished in that dinghy lane, in Rs 2500 twin sharing rooms.
If you have money, pls use it to escape the decay.
Just thinking aloud. No claims made.
This is a Time Magazine Cover from 2011. I reposted @RahulSeeker's tweet yesterday.
I have not been able to stop thinking about this cover.
15 years ago, the world was watching two countries and genuinely could not decide which one would lead the future.
One of them does now. The other has spent the last decade and a half fighting over whose god is bigger.
I am writing this as a common citizen who grew up in this country, who continues to believe in what it is capable of, and who finds it genuinely dificult to explain the drastic economic downturn in these past years through poor governance alone.
India in 2011 was a country that had grown at consistently high rates for two decades, had a young demographic profile, and was positioned as a genuine superpower in the making.
We were leading the IT revolution at a time when the world had just figured out that technology was the new currency of power. An Indian spotted abroad was asked one common question: "Do you work in IT?"
It wasn't a stereotype so much as a signal. The world had noticed. It had clocked which direction we were moving in, and it had started to take us seriously. We weren't just a large country anymore. We were a country with momentum. And momentum, in geopolitics, is the most threatening thing of all.
And then there was the one thing that makes powerful nations genuinely nervous. India is an independent nuclear power. Not a dependent state. Not a country whose arsenal exists because someone else permitted it. Ours. On our terms. Answering to nobody.
A large, young, fast-growing, technologically ambitious, independently nuclear nation with a democratic mandate and a civilisational confidence. That is not a country you want going fully unchecked.
Putting on my tin foil hat, here is the thought I cannot entirely shake: that what has happened to India over the last many years is not simply the consequence of bad governance, corruption, or misfortune. (That of course, is a very real issue laughing in our faces every single day)
That some portion of it has been engineered, or at minimum exploited, by actors with a strategic interest in ensuring that India never becomes what it was projected to become.
There are powers that have done this before. They don't need to invade a country. They just need to find a wound in it and not let it heal - through tools of debt, dependency, tariffs, and narratives shaped by controlled media or manipulated social media algorithms. And then stay out of the way while it consumes itself.
"Just keep the wound open", as they say.
Mismanagement of a population's growth trajectory, and its basic needs which is this consistent and directional, feels almost scripted.
Let me also say - the fractures in Indian society are not new. Religious tension, caste hierarchy, linguistic division: these have existed for centuries. No government manufactured them from scratch.
A country whose population has been allowed to be preoccupied with questions of communal identity, whose minorities are economically anxious and politically marginalised, and whose civil society is increasingly reluctant to speak plainly, is a country whose productive capacity is diminished.
A nation fighting itself cannot look outward with coherence.
They couldn't tame the dragon. So they slowly fed the elephant poisoned food. Enough to keep it from breaking its own shackles. Enough for it to be grateful to be fed. The elephant didn't die. That was never the plan. A dead elephant attracts attention. It is still standing - tall above others, swaying, looking busy, occasionally making noise, hoping to get better, some day.
Someone needed only one new superpower to emerge. Not two. Someone did not want a second China.
And someone got exactly what they needed.
I have lived in America 🇺🇸 for 1.5 years,
And I can personally confirm and verify this!
India is an absolute hell to live in,
You won't even get the basic standards of living required for a decent way of life,
And we have limited time left to live on earth why would we spend it all trying to fix a system which doesn't like us at all!!!.
Indians performing Garba on an airport tarmac = safety risk. Deserves the criticism.
Indians wearing Saris at the Eiffel Tower = zero harm. Don’t deserve the hate.
Know the difference.
Digital India They Said!!
Srinivas, an MGNREGA worker from Komatipalli village, Mahabubabad, Telangana went to Kondagattu Anjaneya Swamy temple and got his head tonsured.
But after coming back from the temple when he tried to register his attendance through the NMMS attendance app, the app failed to recognise him.
After trying everything, Srinivas requested a female co-worker next to him to let him borrow her hair. And then the facial recognition software, allowed his attendance.
Listen to how the entire group erupted into cheers & laughter about the stupid technology that decides their wages.
And only yesterday, I saw a minister claim that India will surpass China very soon in AI 🙏🏽😂
No wonder the Galgotian robot dog was our shining example of our exemplary technologies advances at the AI Summit.
We are still not able to fix basic issues on apps that impact lakhs of people but give sermons on AI advancement.
