BJP's biggest success has been in convincing their fanbase that something good is happening somewhere, maybe not around you. People who have never stepped in trains for years say with confidence India's trains are doing so much better, but the ones using it know the truth. Train using folks are meanwhile thinking airways has become better while those using flights know how much inflation and bad service has plagued it recently. Service people taxed heavily are thinking okay my taxes are heavy, but ease of doing business is getting better and India's a success story, while people in business know if anything it should be renamed to difficulty in doing business and most business success stories are in spite rather than because of the government.
Salaried Middle class people thinking that inflation is there for me but for farmers etc direct benefits helping them, while farmers know how much taxes they are having to pay on fertilizers pesticides etc.
More or less har jagah same hee story hai. Kahi toh acha ho Raha hai, humare aas paas shayad nahi, par Modiji kuch toh acha kar rahe hai.
Hanu-man - excellent movie. That's how you do mythological fiction in India. Not with perfection but with solid storytelling, world-building, and respect for the source material. Looking forward to this cinematic universe.
The last 45 minutes were just ufff.
When somebody from Delhi goes like “I’m thinking of moving to Bombay” I always throw Bombay under the bus, I’m like “whyyyyy Delhi is so much better babe, you’re crazy or what” and make sure they never make that move because it’s the only way I know to protect my people

“If India pokes its nose in Pakistan, US will not keep its trap shut. India will be taught a lesson.”
- Richard Nixon
“India regards America as a friend. Not a boss. India is capable of writing its own destiny. We know and are aware how to deal with each one according to circumstances.”
- Indira Gandhi
Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi articulated these exact words sitting with the US President Richard Nixon in the White House, while maintaining an eye-to-eye contact. This incident was narrated by the then Secretary of State and NSA, Henry Kissinger, in his autobiography.
Indian fielders ground pe aise khade hote hai jaise saat baj gaye ho aur unki chhe pachaas ki mumbai local ab tak nahi aayi.

I think he seeks PM Modi's intervention into India's internal matters if he can spare some of his precious time from the foreign trips. By the way, what does the foreign minister in Modi's cabinet do?
A man who seeks international intervention in India’s internal matters, a frustrated dynast who sullies the ‘Make in India’ ambition mocks India when our PM receives a National honour. Rejected by people, he seethes as defence contracts no longer land at the doorstep of dynasty.
Whatever your politics may be, please don’t ever forget that “India” and the “Indian government” are not synonyms. Never were and never will be.
Not during Nehru’s time, nor Indira’s. And not today.
Criticising the government is never ever an anti national, anti India move.
The problem is not Modi or Shah or BJP, it's his bhakts. They have killed all the democratic principles in their own head. How will they notice the gradual erosion of democracy around them? They won't realize it until it's too late, may be not even then.
After common people, students, and activists, now even elected opposition leaders are facing arrests and convictions. Not for a criminal activity, but simply for speaking up.
If you think India is not in an undeclared emergency, you're either naive, a bhakt or kidding yourself.
