🚨 Prime Minister Narendra Modi today:
- Stop buying gold.
- Bring back the work-from-home culture.
- Save petrol and diesel.
- Avoid foreign trips and destination weddings.
- Stop importing foreign products.
This whole family was slaughtered by @AITCofficial thugs after the last elections. They deserve justice. I hope @SuvenduWB govt will drain the swamp, and drain it well
A tribute to the courageous BJP Karyakartas!
Even in the midst of celebrations at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata today on the formation of the first ever BJP Government in West Bengal, we remembered all those BJP Karyakartas who laid down their lives in the service of an ideal greater than themselves.
Their sacrifice is etched forever in the journey of the Party. Their courage will remain a source of strength for all of us.

Pawan Kalyan -“If anything happens in Palestine, an entire ecosystem echoes their pain. But when it happens in Bangladesh, no one reacts.”
Pawan Kalyan cooked Palestine gang and Supported Bangladeshi hindus.
No other actor has the courage to say such a thing except pawan Kalyan.🔥🔥
Have never seen common citizens celebrating an election victory in this manner anywhere in the country barring 2014. They're celebrating like they've got freedom. Unprecedented scenes.
RSS worker and primary school teacher Bandhu Prakash Pal, along with his pregnant wife and child, were killed in cold blood in West Bengal.
Never forget. Never forgive.
The very first thing Modi Ji and Amit Shah should do in West Bengal is to pass a tender to Asian Paints to repaint the entire city with at least three coats. The city looks so old and shabby like an ancient site.
There is now a double engine govt in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura. Police and BSF are in their control. There are no more excuses remaining. Illegal infiltration along the Bangladesh border must stop.
Donald Trump’s decision to amplify a racist rant attacking India and immigrants is disgraceful and beneath the office he holds. His rhetoric doesn’t just insult millions of Indian Americans and one of our most important global partners—it undermines the values that have made America a nation of opportunity and innovation. We should be strengthening that partnership and honoring our diversity, not stoking division for political gain.
It took us 78 years to accept that the Mughals were tyrants, murderers and looters and not symbols of tolerance and harmony!
Well! At least we woke up finally!!
I am happy to see the YCombinator wave arriving in India. Our co-founder Tony and I were in silicon valley during the original YC wave of companies. We learned a lot from the YC companies. We also made the conscious choice to pursue a different course.
In the ancient Bharatiya tradition of philosophical debate, I am going to offer this.
I will start with things I agree with YC on.
1. The biggest lesson anyone can learn from YC: small passionate teams can do magic. This was true way before AI coding arrived and will always be true.
2. YC is absolutely right to not over-emphasize "innovation". Doing a similar product as the bigger guys, faster and cheaper, is often the best course. Google did not invent search. OpenAI did not invent the LLM. Anthropic did not invent agentic coding.
3. YC companies tend to geographically cluster, and that can lead to subtle peer pressure and group-think. So the "laggard" founders who are not growing like a weed every week start to feel left out and eventually the result is "founder depression". And YC has counselors.
By the standards of 2007 silicon valley or even 2014 silicon valley, we were thought to be losers. Just keep that in mind.
4. Many deep tech problems like building a better, cheaper MRI machine or advanced semiconductor equipment require long focus and patient execution and lots of capital. These are endurance tests, not weekly sprints.
5. YC too often optimizes companies for "exit". That philosophy was built for and requires prolonged bubbles, which American policy has delivered, at the price of nearly wrecking the country (note the extreme inequality and political division). If you love India, you should not wish for similar bubbles.
6. YC model worked in silicon valley. One of the reasons it worked was that silicon valley could get any talent from anywhere in the world, notably from India, easily. That era may have ended or at least on pause right now.
Bengaluru has tried the same thing but with "any talent from anywhere in India" and we have not yet created huge companies. India needs its Huawei and Xiaomi and BYD and these companies are Chinese to the core, built by patriotic Chinese. Indian talent, staying in India, rooted in India, is going to have to build companies like them. Enough said.
