Old Airport Road is already choking under underpass construction. Today, traffic was completely halted for nearly 30 minutes due to the Governor’s movement. A man carrying his pregnant wife was stuck in the gridlock. When will public convenience matter as much as VIP convenience?
Salaried Indians are among the 2-3% who pay direct taxes - faithfully, for 10-25 years, often contributing lakhs over a lifetime.
Yet when layoffs hit, they're left completely on their own. No safety net. No acknowledgment.

A company with no prior experience of making ventilators was given a contract for 10,000 ventilators worth Rs 373 Cr under the PMCARES fund during COVID, found an investigation by Huffpost. Many hospitals complained that PMCARES ventilators were of poor quality, leading to hypoxia in patients.

So many layoffs happening, India should immediately make severance pay tax free. It is ethically, morally, financially wrong to tax someone who is at their worst possible stage of life after job loss.
If you can't support your taxpayers directly, atleast don't punish them.
Why is India not a tourism superpower ?
1. Unsafe roads, no pavements, stray animals
2. Dirt, garbage, and lack of hygiene
3. Petty corruption
4. Traffic chaos
5. Poor global branding and perception management
6. Tourism stuck in state-level red tape
7. Pollution
8. No proper city or tourist site infrastructure
9. Inconsistent service standards
10.Biggest of all- lack of civic sense
We have everything- mountains, deserts, beaches, history, spirituality. Yet Malaysia, Turkey, Singapore, Thailand and even the UAE attract more tourists each year than we do.
So the issue isn’t what we have. It’s how we manage it.
Potential is not our problem. Execution is. 🇮🇳
Raghav Chadha is all over timelines from yesterday or may be earlier.
More debate than the Budget speech itself — and far more substance than loud, unproductive shouting.
What he flagged in Parliament (RS) has people talking:
• Scrapping LTCG tax on equity investments
• Higher STT on derivatives to curb speculation
• Tax relief for salaried middle class
• Addressing foreign investor exits
• Better public healthcare funding
• Blockchain-based land & property records
No theatrics. Just policy questions people are debating in public.
Meet Education Minister:
> Brought UGC Regulations
> Negative marks cutoff for NEET PG
> 0.5 marks cutoff for govt school teachers
> Institute-level Reservation in central universities
> Free coaching only for SC/ST/OBCs
> IITs doing caste conferences
ZERO Merit. 100% Politics
Education Budget of India: $14 Billion
SC/ST Budget: $36 Billion.
Today, the SC/ST budget is more than twice the education budget of India.
That’s not just a statistic, it’s a serious question about national priorities.
Now compare it with China.
