happy to share something i’ve been building (and obsessing over) for the last couple months:
🚨 https://t.co/uLGFNcyJwW — a daily dashboard for people who care about Indian policy, but hate tracking it.
🧵Here’s what’s new:
so thanks to oomfs, https://t.co/YG8BDbuQDs is turning into a fun passion project - an AI-powered platform that tracks and analyzes policy developments across India. a product of rapid iterations and continuous learning, which has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding
Word. Also, I can't imagine going back to Pune's scorching heat and leaving behind the sheer variety of cuisines and mouth-watering dishes I will miss out on after living in this city for a month🥺
BTW, Bengaluru is never the problem. Tis' a good city with some endearing local folks.
It's the bunch of entitled blue-tickers (techies, VCs, startup founders, marketers) living in their own bubble, disconnected from reality, providing a shitty PR by comparing it with SF.
"India's exam system is broken at the institutional level, not the operational one — and 24 lakh students are paying the price while the adults in the room figure out who's accountable."

Instructions have been issued by the Ed ministry and CBSE to schools to record videos of students praising the on screen marking system and post them on school social media handles. After completely mismanaging the entire system, CBSE has now shifted into shameless PR damage control mode, as if manufactured appreciation can erase public anger, confusion, and institutional failure.
Forcing schools and students into staged praise campaigns after such widespread criticism is honestly pathetic. Instead of answering serious questions, fixing loopholes, and taking accountability, they are busy manufacturing positive optics for social media. This is not how an education system behaves. This is how insecure institutions try to bury failure under propaganda.
Sixteen year olds are having to create Twitter accounts and get bullied by nut jobs double and triple their age to get the biggest exams of their life evaluated correctly. The people this country is failing are getting younger and younger, the institutions older and older!
Make the elected leaders spend a night lying down on the divider under the open sky in this weather, without ACs without 50 car cavalcades.
Or on a treeless promenade.
They’ll know in a day what it feels like… if they survive.
Students who ask about board exams, journalists, neet college kids, Gen Z, artists, comedians, businessmen, dog lovers, anyone who questions governance….according to twitter all these people are secretly Pakistani :-) Right wing twitter brain, one massive reverse Durandhar 🤷♂️
The RBI had its biggest week of the year.
Record ₹2.86 lakh crore dividend. $53B spent defending the rupee. Rate hikes back on the table.

A Brahmin student being called a 'Pakistani' by Modi Bhakts shocked and rightfully hurt many people across ideological lines, including several from the Right Wing itself. Because suddenly, people realised how dehumanising that label is.
But for years now, countless Indian Muslims especially those who speak up or question the government or criticise the PM are casually branded 'Pakistanis' or 'Bangladeshis' or a 'Rohingya'.
Our loyalty is questioned, our identity is regularly mocked, our citizenship treated as conditional.
And the society has normalised it so much that most people don’t even react anymore.
An insult that rightfully outraged people when used against a Brahmin student is thrown at Muslims every single day without guilt or an outrage, or without any consequences. No Indian should have to constantly prove they belong to their own country.
All thanks to the Media and the Politicians for Normalising this Hate against Indian Muslims.
Corruption is no longer in suitcases full of cash.
It is now structural, institutionalized and "legal".
That is why most Indians fail to see it.
