@ARUN_PRABAKARAN @hormazdsorabjee @autocarindiamag Nah my man! It's moot point now.

[Ramesh Srivats @rameshsrivats]

I think the difference between a developed country and an undeveloped country is not income inequality.

It is power asymmetry.

In undeveloped countries, people in government, be it politicians, civil servants or judiciary, have an extraordinary right to trample on citizens and their rights.

That's the problem in India today.

Call it VIP culture. Call it unaccountability. Call it arrogance. In fact, call it toll exemptions, security clearance, whatever.

It all stems from a core belief that people in power are somewhat superior. So, they can get away with doing anything to people who don't have power.

The recent police videos and the SDM video are all examples of that.

It's only because of social media that these things even come to light - probably less than 0.001% of the daily sapping, brutal exercise of power.

So, if we want "Viksit Bharat", we need to do two things.

The first is, of course, financial growth, infrastructure, and all that.

But that still won't be enough.

We have to get rid of the power asymmetry. That will truly make a difference.

Less discretionary power, less perks, less privileges, less "exceptions". And more transparency thru social media.

We become a superpower when 1.4 billion people have power.

... the scene would have got elevated in the massive way and she would have been a right fit. It'd be great if you could add her in any of the upcoming Kantara series.

Hi @hombalefilms @shetty_rishab

I watched Kantara - Chapter 1 twice in the theatres. The second time being in IMAX I was blown away by how the movie was made. I guess you folks missed to capitalise the Chamundi space. If you have casted @MsAnushkaShetty for Chamundi... (1/2)

@ARUN_PRABAKARAN @motorolaindia @Flipkart @amazonIN @flipkartsupport @Moto_Support Yeah! @motorolaindia now because of some random delivery agents inability I haven't got my phone which was promised to be delivered yesterday. It is now pushed to be delivered tomorrow instead of today. Next time I'll have to think buying a phone from you. @Moto

[Siddarth Ashok @SiddarthAshok]

@motorolaindia why do you sell your phones with pathetic @Flipkart ? Neither they don't keep their promises nor their delivery agents will ghost and push the delivery. Been trying to connect to their support, still no help. Please either you sell offline or through @amazonIN

[Siddarth Ashok @SiddarthAshok]

@flipkartsupport I messaged. Waiting for someone to respond.

[Siddarth Ashok @SiddarthAshok]

This is completely absurd and people of India are taken for granted. E0 petrol costs upwards of ₹160. No E5. Availability of E10 is in question. E20 is being forcefully pushed without telling customers.

Someone needs to take this up to higher ups. @PetroleumMin do something.

[ArunPrabakaran Shanmugasundaram 🇮🇳 @ARUN_PRABAKARAN]

@volklub @kapsology @AarizRizvi @Xroaders_001

Selling Cars that comply with E10 from 2020-2023 @PetroleumMin, now limiting E10's availability.
Looks like GOI thinks commoners should keep buying & dying cars for their profit!

Thank you for ending the era of Petrol Cars!!

Girls/Women,

It's not your own or your dad's car or your bedroom to shut the door like that. Shut the door gently FFS. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@gbenhur @GMSRailway There is a complaint book in every station. Lodge a complaint in that. You'll get the necessary answer.
