Watching Elon Musk this week has been a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires.

They arrive in your country selling you the future. Welcome them, and you’re a country that wants progress. Make them wait, and suddenly your people are victims who need rescuing from their own institutions by the chosen one.

It’s a pattern. When Thai rescuers didn’t use the mini-submarine Musk sent for the trapped boys, and diver Vernon Unsworth called the idea impractical, Musk attacked him as the “pedo guy.”

When Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered X to comply with its rulings, Musk called the judge a “dictator.”

The script rarely changes. Only the country does.

The colonial mindset isn’t always about wanting to rule a country. Sometimes it’s the assumption that you arrive as its saviour, and if the country doesn’t immediately recognise you as one, something must be wrong with the country.

Hey listen you fucktard @elonmusk : no one gives a monkey’s toss about you. No one. Not in China. Not in India. And not even in your adopted United States. And remember we are India. We invented the Kamasutra so we can screw you in positions that even @SpaceX can’t imagine!

It’s India vs west… as simple as that…

Dear Elon,

The online education, digital payments, and small businesses going global you speak of are already happening in India on dirt-cheap internet.

Jio revolutionized cheap internet back in 2016. The price per GB of data crashed from ₹228 to ₹8, shooting monthly usage from under 2 GB to 40 GB+ and turning connectivity from a luxury into a daily utility for hundreds of millions.

India’s internet sector isn't a damsel in distress waiting to be saved by a savior in orbit. That said, we still welcome competition. So drop the sarcasm and go finish your security clearances so Indians can actually choose whether they want affordable ground data or a shiny space toy.

Public taunts won't skip the line. Pfizer tried forcing its way into the Indian market during COVID era using the same playbook, bypassing mandatory protocols and leaning on public pressure through influencers. It didn't work then, and it won't work now.

This edit of PM Modi is an absolute banger. The editor deserves an Oscar for this one

My family and I escaped execution in Lebanon because Islam wanted to kill us. My parents were kidnapped by Fatah and were severely mistreated. Our home in Beirut was stolen by Palestinian Muslims. My wife's family escaped Lebanon because Islam wanted to kill them. Her ancestors escaped the Armenian genocide because Islam wanted to kill them. My grandparents escaped Syria because Islam wanted to kill them. My brother-in-law's family escaped Alexandria (Egypt) because Islam wanted to kill them. My family and I are leaving Montreal because Islam wants to kill us (the number of threats that I've received forced me to take a two-year leave from my home university). I'm moving to @olemiss /@umdeclaration to defend American liberties and freedoms from ideological threats. @LibyaLiberty, a vile Islamist who despises Jews, is now "reporting" me to my new institution because I dare criticize Islam. Imagine the chutzpah. I will NEVER stop defending the West from the dangers that it faces. Long live the United States.

The hysteria over FCRA tells you precisely why India needs FCRA.

Follow the argument and then follow the money.

India is saying something extraordinarily simple: if money enters this country from a foreign source, India has the sovereign right to know who sent it, who ultimately controls it, where it is being spent and for what purpose.

What exactly is objectionable about that?

Around 16,200 registered organisations received nearly ₹23,000 crore in foreign contributions in 2024–25 alone.

So please spare us the fiction that the FCRA Bill will “shut down civil society”.

What is being tightened is accountability.

And suddenly there is panic.

We are told regulating foreign-funded NGOs is an attack on democracy.

Since when did democracy mean that an unelected organisation financed from another country acquires a constitutional right to operate without rigorous scrutiny?

[Aditya Raj Kaul @AdityaRajKaul]

Why is the Global Media completely silent on civilian protests across Pakistan Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (PoJK) and killings by Pakistan Military? International live coverage on protests in democratic India but complete mute spectator to Army ruled Pakistan’s atrocities in PoJK.

The FCRA Amendment Bill 2026 strengthens transparency and accountability in foreign funding:

🏛️ Foreign-funded assets remain protected if licences are cancelled or surrendered.
🚫 No foreign funding after licence expiry.
⚖️ Individuals can be held directly accountable for violations.
🛡️ Foreign funds only for lawful welfare activities — not forced conversions or anti-national activities.

Take a look at the details. ⬇️

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

It’s all about the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) bill. Too many foreign countries and their nefarious designs in India will come to a screeching halt.

I am always surprised when someone asks, “What exactly has Modi done?”

Then I begin listing the accomplishments, and the mood invariably shifts.

I’ve never understood this collective short-term memory loss. It isn’t just puzzling - it can be fatal for both the nation and its people.

So today I decided to look at just one area: education.
Specifically, the institutions established since 2014.

Too often, we form our opinions on hearsay, emotion and sentiment rather than evidence. So let’s look at the numbers. They may well challenge what you think you know.

- Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs)

First 67 years: 16 IITs established.
Last 12 years: 7 new IITs established, taking the total to 23.
Capacity expansion: 5 existing IITs expanded, adding 6,576 seats.

Global footprint: Two international IIT campuses established - in Zanzibar and Abu Dhabi.

- Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs)

First 67 years: 13 IIMs established.
Last 12 years: 8 new IIMs established, taking the total to 21.

Global footprint: In September 2025, IIM Ahmedabad opened its Dubai campus.

- All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS)

First 67 years: 7 AIIMS established.
Last 12 years: 16 new AIIMS established, taking the total to 23.

- Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs)

First 67 years: 9,977 ITIs.
Last 12 years: 4,705 new ITIs, taking the total to 14,682.

Skill development: PM–SETU (Pradhan Mantri Skilling and Employability Transformation through Upgraded ITIs), launched in October 2025, will upgrade 1,000 Government ITIs under a hub-and-spoke model.

- Universities

First 67 years: 723 universities.
Last 12 years: 607 new universities, taking the total to 1,330.

Lenskart is yet to apologise for informing employees they are permitted to wear a hijab but not a bindi. Open challenge to @peyushbansal to inform employees they are permitted to wear a bindi but not a hijab.

You won’t have a head left to lodge your @Lenskart_com frames on.

KKR should have made 20-30 runs more so Vaibhav Arora today also could complete his fifty. Sad day. 😔

🚨BREAKING: Sikh restaurant owner arrested for not selling halal meat.

Last night Muslims surrounded the business, issuing death and rape threats because it would not serve halal food

Today, the man protecting his family was the one arrested.

London has fallen.
