Thanks to @karthiks, i learnt of the existence of a Kannada translation of Satrapi's Persepolis today

And I'm sure you'll all find her works in your languages. She was one of a kind, please do read her, I'm sure that's the best way to mourn her passing

[G Sampath @samzsays]

I am hearing "Rahul Gandhi lacks gravitas". Can somebody please rank India's top 10 politicians in descending order of gravitas? Curious to know who all are thought of as having 'gravitas'.

I have always been fascinated by these music instrument shops in Balepet and have often wondered about the lives of those who make and sell them. Here’s my story for #DeccanHerald #Saturdaystory

Very telling!

[Abhijeet Dipke @abhijeet_dipke]

As expected Cockroach Janta Party’s account has been withheld in India.

[Sincere Dibya @TheSincereDude]

Modi asked you to eat less oil, skip gold, work from home.

Sitharaman told you to eat out less and watch your expenses.

BJP IT Cell told you “India is the fastest growing economy.”

Meanwhile, Indian Express’s Udit Misra just filed the autopsy report:

🔴 Rupee: ₹86 → ₹96 in ONE year. Quietly.

🔴 Net FDI gone NEGATIVE; Indians building factories abroad because they don’t trust this government’s economy

🔴 BOTH current account AND capital account in deficit; simultaneously. First time. Ever.

🔴 Per capita income = ₹20,000/month. MOST Indians earn below even that.

🔴 Exports? Almost stagnant and flat; after 12 years of “make in India”,

And Misra confirmed, the government KNEW this for 2 years. They hid it during elections. The call only came once votes were counted.

This isn’t bad luck. This isn’t Iran. This isn’t Trump.

This is what 12 years of suit-boot economics, crony capitalism, and GDP optics actually looks like underneath.

Rahul Gandhi called it in July 2025: “Indian economy is DEAD.”

The Indian Express just put the post-mortem report on the table.

They didn’t mismanage the economy.

They HID the mismanagement from you; until after you voted.

That’s not incompetence. That’s a betrayal. 🇮🇳 💔

[Shiv Aroor @ShivAroor]

Chalo. Petrol prices hiked by Rs 1.82 per litre. Walk home tonight.

[PenPencilDraw @penpencildraw]

Captain speaking.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Massive hike in #petrol prices is a prime example of the failure of Congress-led UPA. This will put a burden of hundreds of crores on Guj.

[Sushant Singh @SushantSin]

India's economic mismanagement has been going on, well before the crisis in West Asia. It just can't be hidden any long by PR and propaganda.

He waited till elections got done; now calls upon people to do their bit “for the nation”. Classic right wing playbook; manipulate people into thinking they are voluntarily doing their bit while brainwashing them to do their bit. As they say, kurigalu saar, naavu kurigalu

[savitha @savitha]

Let people save fuel. I will continue with such spectacles.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

In Somnath today, the skies witnessed a magnificent confluence of pride and valour. The Indian Air Force’s Suryakiran Team showcased a breathtaking flypast. This spirit of Bhakti and Shakti filled every heart with deep joy.

@Suryakiran_IAF

[savitha @savitha]

Massive fuel-saving campaign. Wah, Modiji, wah.

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Vadodara is fully geared up for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposed roadshow, with preparations now in the final phase.

The Prime Minister will visit his karmabhoomi Vadodara tomorrow, where a 1.5-kilometre-long roadshow from Gada Circle to the airport has been planned to celebrate the local self-government election results and the major victory in West Bengal.

[Mohit Chauhan @mohitlaws]

THIS IS PEAK HYPOCRISY

Narendra Modi (yesterday): Please use metro and save fuel in the interest of the country.

Narendra Modi (today): Enjoying multiple jets wasting fuel while flying past Somnath Temple for the entertainment of Sanghis.
