Massive public anger against Modi government over inflation 🔥

REPORTER: Petrol and diesel rose 4 times in 11 days. How is it hitting your pocket?

CITIZEN 1: Achhe Din sirf ads ke liye the kya? Aur “400 paar” election ke liye tha ya petrol ke liye?

CITIZEN 2: 70% unemployed youth are surviving on Zomato-Swiggy. If fuel eats everything, what will they save?

CITIZEN 3: Crude fell to $90. Petrol should fall too. Why is only the public paying?

CITIZEN 4: Oil companies made ₹77,000 crore profit. Give some benefit back to people.

No cut. No party worker. Just public anger, back to back.

@chandrarsrikant Deserved it for all the common tears he collected and converted to his personal wealth, by using predatory sales practices.

Nervous energy today. But let's go get this win @SunRisers!

@urstrulyvikass @Options_IndiaAB Lol get lost. I'll question my motherland when it's lagging.

My patriotism is based on reality not blind love.

I recently spent 2 weeks in China.

6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu.

I went there with curiosity.

Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building.

I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling.

Not because I found a business idea for myself.

But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously.

I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning.

Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets.

And then I kept thinking about India.

We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways.

After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food.

China is not perfect. No country is.

But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us.

They are decades ahead.

The saddest part for me was the currency.

Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt.

We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power.

But where is the quality of life?

Where is the civic sense?

Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier?

Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism?

I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list.

That should bother us.

Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.

But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted.

Again, this is not a hate post.

I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me.

Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great.

Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind.

China made me realise one thing very clearly:

India’s potential is not the problem.

Execution is.

And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.

@thesigmamindset Sounds great but is a shit advice. Your mind won't worry when you want it to worry.

Acknowledging that you're over thinking when you're over thinking and being mindful about it, will automatically get you out of it.

A few minutes ago Jess Head ( Travis Head Wife ) posted some pics on Instagram
Out of curiosity I've opened her comments and guess what
all the comments are apologies from Indian fans ♥️ 🙌
This is what I expect from my fellow Indians 👏👏👏

I was there for one week in Goa few weeks back.

The no of foreigners were close to 0.

All have shifted their vacation spot to Sri Lanka , Bali , Thailand , Vietnam ,Philippines etc.

Even in next 10 years Tourism won’t be increased in India everyone knows.

Because we lack basic things like clean roads , good public infra & good aqi.

Or here also we would say “they may come and go we don’t need them.”

India's brand new Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) channeling Gen Z concerns has gone viral, overtaking Instagram followers of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, discussing issues like politics, inflation and unemployment — with a touch of humor https://t.co/eUrGFFppmh

The government is not a private sector company that it needs to sacrifice “profits”. Madam you are the worst FM this country has seen and most of the middle-class tax-paying people are not growing because of your incompetence. Best you resign.

[Ranvijay Singh @ranvijaylive]

नरेंद्र मोदी बहुत नाराज हैं 😡

सरकार ने सिर्फ 11 दिन में पेट्रोल-डीजल के दाम पूरे 8 रुपए बढ़ा दिए.

मोदी ने इसे शासन चलाने की नाकामयाबी का सबूत बताया है.

मोदी ने प्रधानमंत्री से पेट्रोल-डीजल के जो दाम बढ़े हैं, उसे वापस लेने की मांग रखी है.

क्या मोदी की बात सुनी जाएगी 🤔

[SunRisers Hyderabad @SunRisers]

All those sacrifices feel worth it when dreams finally come alive 🧡
