You start crying if petrol goes up by Rs5/litre and demand resignation of Modi. Despite none serving from your family, though I am willing to give it a benefit of doubt, do you understand that Pakistan has a standing army of 600000, professional and trained. They brought Soviet Russia and later America to their knees by killing 80000 Russians (Afghan war) and then 7000+ Americans (GWOT), Only India defeated them thrice in recent memory.
10 soldiers die and you start crying on social media and demand Modi's resignation... Are you willing to sacrifice growth (lifting people out of poverty, roads, ports, expressways, airports, jobs and economy) for cheap thrill of destroying pak army?
Where do you think those 27Crore bearded Jihadis will run for? Can you butcher them at Wagah border when they make a dash for India? have you killed a goat with own hands, forget about humans?
DO you know Pakistan too has nuclear weapons? What should be the strategy of a rational actor? Deterrence or mutually assured destruction?

Across almost every affluent society, fertility falls when:

- Women become educated
- Child mortality falls
- Urbanization rises
- Housing becomes expensive
- Opportunity costs of parenting increase

This has happened regardless of whether the government was capitalist, socialist, Asian, European, or American.

The state's job is not to create policies to optimize the fertility rate.
The state's job is to protect liberty and let individuals make family decisions.

Yes, comparing Modi era with Nehru’s is right. Not to do so would be injustice to millions who suffered because of Nehru.

For example, Hindu Bengali refugees. Their children, grandchildren must never forget that their people were abandoned and thrown to the wolves by Jawaharlal Nehru before, during and after Partition.

Nehru despised dark-skinned Hindu Bengali refugees, among them my father, his siblings, their widowed mother and grandmother, fleeing rapacious and murderous Muslim League mobs in East Bengal; he did not want them to seek shelter in India.

Nehru wrote to CM BC Roy, instructing him not to let Hindu Bengali refugees enter West Bengal. Push them back from the border, Nehru said, don’t let them in.

Nehru insisted Hindu Bengalis of East Bengal / East Pakistan were coming to India for free-loading at the expense of Indians. He cut back Central funds for West Bengal to stop the meagre refugee assistance by way of a couple of kilos of inedible worm-infested rotten rice for Hindu Bengalis.

Hindu Bengali refugee women and children separated from their families, or widowed and orphaned in the Noakhali genocide and subsequent Partition Massacre of Hindus, rummaged in garbage bins and pitifully begged for morsels of food.

Hindu Bengali refugee children in rags with dark large sad eyes greedily licked on used banana leaves dumped on the streets by eateries, also known as ‘pice hotels’ in Kolkata parlance, of which there was a profusion in the post-War years. Emaciated babies and rickety children of Hindu Bengali refugees huddled with stray dogs on pavements.

Many Hindu Bengali refugees lived on ‘rice water’ or ‘fan’ (the starchy water that is thrown away after boiling rice) collected from homes of compassionate Bengalis who had little food to share.

In the morning and evening there were pheriwallahs hawking their wares; in the afternoon there were Hindu Bengali refugee women in tattered sarees that barely covered their bodies and naked children with battered and bruised aluminium pots going from house to house, begging for ‘rice water’: “Ma, fan daao Ma…”

Those voices of has hunger were to haunt Hindu Bengali refugees like my parents for long, often till death.

Driven by hate for Hindu Bengali refugees, Nehru ordered horrifyingly, nauseatingly squalid and disease-ridden refugee camps to be named ‘Permanent Liability Camps’ or PLCs — PLC 1, PLC 2… — reminiscent of the ‘Permanent Solution Camps’ of the Nazis.

When despite his best efforts Nehru failed to push back the Hindu Bengali refugees to be slaughtered in East Bengal/East Pakistan, Nehru brought his devastating Freight Equalisation Policy which collapsed industry in West Bengal. Tens of thousands of jobs were destroyed and the Hindu Bengali was rendered jobless: Those who lost their jobs and businesses began turning on Hindu Bengali refugees just as Nehru had hoped.

Yet Nehru could not break the spirit of the Hindu Bengali refugees who were grateful to Bharat and determined to help rebuild this great nation savaged by invaders and colonisers especially John Company.

Through generations we Hindu Bengali refugees toiled, we built, we paid taxes, we sacrificed for the Nation, our Nation, we succeeded in establishing ourselves as dutiful, law-abiding, loyal citizens of India. Having lost our home and hearth, we had no other home but India.

We Hindu Bengali refugees were hived off to malaria-infested inhospitable Dandakaranya and we cleared forests and made the soil fertile. We were packed off to Andaman and we rebuilt our lives there. When we tried to set up home at Marichjhapi we were slaughtered: the estuaries turned red with our blood.

We grieved, we got up, we overcame that setback.

We lived with dignity and honour, we earned our food, we were not freeloaders. We were poor but we were honest: we had integrity.

Cut to 2026.

So who have proved to be India’s ‘Permanent Liability’ cadging off the state and living on unearned money? Nehru Dynasty.

[Kanchan Gupta 🇮🇳 @KanchanGupta]

Should Jawaharlal Nehru be credited
with setting up India’s first IIT as is
claimed by Nehruvian fantasists?

NO.

Should PM Modi be credited with setting up seven new IITs, taking the total to 23?

YES.

Nehru did not ‘create’ IITs. Nor did he set up India’s first IIT.

Dr BC Roy, CM of West Bengal, set up India’s first IIT in Calcutta in 1950; it later moved to Kharagpur on land owned by West Bengal Government.

IIT Kharagpur Act came six years later in 1956.

Soviet Union set up IIT Powai; US set up IIT Kanpur; West Germany set up IIT Madras (all of them with trade surplus and aid).

The idea of setting up Indian institutes of technology took shape in 1946 with Humayun Kabir leading the way and Nalini Ranjan Sarkar Committee preparing a report. Extant records do not mention any role played by Nehru.

So,

Why was the first IIT set up in #WestBengal ?

Because in 1950s West Bengal had the highest concentration of industry in #India.

What went wrong?

Nehru's Freight Equalisation Policy killed industry in West Bengal and all of east India. West Bengal became the 'Disinherited State'.

Rest is history.

@grok @ramprasad_c Yeah! Like I will pay Elon for Elon's AI agent to tell me the truth about Elon

Yes, Britain famously transferred wealth to India. When British arrived in India its share of the world economy was 4%. When they left in 1947, they had taken it to 23%, roughly equal to all of Europe combined.
On a serious note.
The Indian railways were financed entirely by bonds sold on the London Stock Exchange. British investors were guaranteed a return of 5% per annum by the colonial government. A guaranteed return, in an era when no other safe investment in Britain offered anything close. And who guaranteed those returns? Indian taxpayers. Indians paid for the construction. Indians paid the guaranteed profits to British shareholders. Indians paid for the equipment, which was manufactured exclusively in Britain and shipped to India at inflated prices. One mile of Indian railway cost twice what the same mile cost to build in Canada or Australia, because the guaranteed return meant there was no incentive to control costs. The more it cost, the more British investors and suppliers earned.

And what were these railways designed to do? Move raw materials from India’s interior to ports. Cotton from the Deccan to Bombay. Jute from Bengal to Calcutta. Coal from Bihar to wherever the Empire needed it. Tea from Assam to London’s drawing rooms. The routes connected mines and plantations to harbors. Not cities to cities. Not people to opportunities. Raw materials to ships. The Indian public’s transportation needs were, as Shashi Tharoor put it, entirely incidental.

Oh, and the railways also moved troops. Very efficiently. So that when Indians protested being looted, the British could deploy soldiers to shoot them. That was the other “infrastructure investment.”

But wait, there is more. Before the railways, India had the world’s finest textile industry. The British smashed the looms, broke the weavers’ thumbs (this is not metaphor, this is documented history), imposed tariffs on Indian cloth, and shipped raw cotton to Manchester to be manufactured into garments that were then sold back to Indians. India went from being the world’s largest textile exporter to an importer of British cloth within a generation.

The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed an estimated 3 million people. Churchill diverted food supplies from Bengal to already well-supplied British troops and European stockpiles. When informed of the famine, his response, on the record, was to ask why Gandhi had not died yet. This is the “infrastructure investor” Musk is defending.

India contributed 2.5 million soldiers to fight in two World Wars on Britain’s behalf.

So let us summarize the colonial “investment” in India. They took a 23% global economy and left it at 4%. They destroyed the world’s finest textile industry. They built railways with Indian money, for Indian resources, generating British profits. They engineered famines that killed millions. They drained an estimated $45 trillion in today’s value over 200 years.
That’s some unprofitable adventure.

@aravind A piece of wisdom for the DS
"YOU MEET YOUR DESTINY IN THE ROAD YOU TAKE TO AVOID IT"

[Puja Teli @ThePujaTeli]

The Rakhigarhi Study (Shinde et al, 2019, Cell) - Geneticists successfully sequenced DNA from a 4,500-year-old skeleton buried at Rakhigarhi (the largest IVC city).

The data showed zero Central Asian Steppe DNA.

Extensive excavations across Mohenjo-daro and Harappa have found no evidence of military conquest, massacres, or warfare at the time of the civilization's decline. (Dales, 1964)

Instead, the data proves the IVC collapsed gradually between 1900 BCE and 1300 BCE because of a severe, centuries-long drought and shifting river courses (the drying of the Ghaggar-Hakra river system).

Why would someone invade a place that was dissolving?

Witzel’s (whom I’ve already cited hours ago) extensive linguistic analysis proves that the earliest layers of the Rigveda contain roughly 300 to 400 loanwords, plant names, animal names, and agricultural terms *that are completely non-Indo-European*.

They come from an indigenous, prefixing language (which he terms "Para-Mundic" or "Language X").

Stop pushing an invasion theory when there isn’t one.

Stop your supremacy claims too.

[Parimal @Fintech03]

We need to bypass the so called "standard", reductive textbook narratives that often treat ancient indian achievements as mere "accidental primitive labor" & Kailasa Temple is 1 such example. We need to treat it like a project that required a level of mathematical precision, spatial visualization & resource optimization that rivals modern aerospace/architectural design.

Advanced tech does not necessarily mean electricity/lasers/computer chips. In civil engineering, advanced tech is defined by the systems, instruments & mathematical models used to manipulate massive amounts of energy & matter with near-zero tolerance for error.

To carve Kailasa from the top down out of a single volcanic mass, the ancient Sthapatis (master engineers) had to solve problems that modern CAD software handles today.

Before a single chisel touched the stone, the entire multi-story complex including its internal rooms, floating balconies, drainage systems & columns had to be mathematically mapped out in 3Ds. In a traditional building, if a room is misaligned, we can tear down a wall & rebuild it. In rock-cut monolithic architecture, we cannot put back rock that has been carved away.

A single 5" calculation error on the roof would cause a column on the 3rd floor below to completely miss its load-bearing alignment, collapsing the ceiling. The then engineers used a highly sophisticated system of geometric grids based on micro-measurements (Angula & Hasta). They used a technique called Volumetric Prototyping. They modeled the mountain as a massive 3D coordinate matrix (X, Y, Z axes), translating a highly advanced, non-surviving theoretical blueprint seamlessly onto the undulating, uneven surface of a natural cliffside.

Carving 400000 tons of basalt, hardened volcanic lava rich in silica & iron cannot be done by simply swinging ordinary iron tools. The tools would blunt/deform/break within mins. The construction period correlates with India's absolute peak in Wootz steel production. This was a form of nanotech where iron was smelted with specific carbon-rich organic materials in sealed crucibles, creating a matrix of ultra-hard iron carbides (cementite).

Now to move 100s of 1000s of tons of rock rapidly w/o modern explosives, they likely used controlled thermal stress. By heating targeted fracture lines along the basalt's natural crystalline planes using massive, localized fires & then instantly dousing them with cold water, they forced the rock to cleanly shear itself apart along flat planes. This is a highly calculated application of thermodynamics.

In ancient India, advanced scientific & engineering knowledge was not published in open-source public libraries. It was fiercely guarded within highly specialized, hereditary engineering guilds (Shrenis/Vishwakarmas). Knowledge was passed down from master to apprentice via encrypted architectural texts (Vastu Shastras) & oral mathematical mnemonics.

This kept the IP secure from foreign theft, but it made the entire scientific system highly vulnerable to a SPOF. If a single elite guild of master builders was wiped out in a war, the complex mathematical formulas for calculating rock stress & monolithic geometric projections died with them instantly.

When British colonial historians arrived in India, they encountered marvels like Kailasa. Accepting that ancient Indians possessed a level of structural engineering, metallurgy & geometry that surpassed 18th century Europe was a direct threat to the colonial narrative of the "civilizing mission." They claimed Kailasa was built simply by throwing a massive, infinite army of "primitive, cheap slave labor" at a mountain with simple stone chisels over 100s of yrs.

This narrative deliberately substituted brute force for brain power. It ignored the complex geometry, the structural dynamics & the materials science, reducing a masterpiece of hyper-advanced calculation to a mere story of "many people digging for a long time."

If you look at the entire propaganda behind Rang De Basanti movie
It was made during UPA Manmohan singh rule but its target was BJP
The entire defence deals corruption killing Madhavan character was targeting AB Vajpayee govt, George Fernandes and Tehelka scam
But later it was proven that Tehalaka Blokes were stooges of 🐜onia
George Fernandes was George Fernandes one of the most honest politicians in India
And entire defence deals corruption happened under scamgress and bofors was real fraud done under 🐜onia and MMS let off Quatrochi
So congress did the defence scams used their stooges to implicate good people like George and entire ecosystem didn’t want outsiders like Vajpayee to get into lootyens
India never developed indigenous defence capability and always imported as it was so easy to do corruption
Now inadvertently this joke posted RDB pic showing he is yet another stooge of same ecosystem

The race that wiped out millions out of hatred because Churchill believed Indians bred like rabbits and didn’t need grain in famine. 3 million died. The race that thought it had the burden to destroy indigenous cultures across the globe in the garb of ‘civilising’ them.

But yes! Least racist! Race or religious superiority was never the motivation. Just pure business, I believe.
