@narendramodi Hi sir,
With due respect, I don’t see improvement in Healthcare and Education. These 2 are taking a lot of from the public. Make it part of social security. Parity in lower pricing and better access.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.
They can overturn cars, burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.
They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens,
and automate entire industries overnight.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.
I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.
The evening news screams outrage.
Political rallies shake entire cities.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.
The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.
I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.
I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I worship celebrities.
I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.
Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I gather in crowds.
We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.
Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.
We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.
I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.
Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I live in the past.
But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.
The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.
Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.
But I am not ashamed.
I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.
I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.
Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.
But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.
For I am an Indian.
And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.
For I am an Indian.
The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.
Yet I stand tall.
For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.
Jai Hind

Dear @narendramodi ji @HardeepSPuri ji @PetroleumMin
Brent Crude has crashed from over $103 just a week ago to $91.12 today — a sharp 17% drop in May alone thanks to easing global tensions 👍
India imports 85% of its oil. This means billions in potential savings for our economy.
We truly appreciate how the government shielded us with duty cuts during the recent spikes.
Now is the perfect time to fully pass on these benefits by reducing petrol & diesel prices by 5 to 10%.
Lower fuel will lead to Lower Inflation, Cheaper Goods & Transport.
Huge Relief for the Tax Paying Middle Class & a Real Boost to growth...
We supported you when We Paid High Fuel Prices when Crude was at Low. Now, you need to pass on the benefits to us.
I request my audience to share this Widely until the Government Takes Action 💪

Respected @nsitharaman ji and @FinMinIndia,
Suggestion 2 of 3 for strengthening India's capital markets:
Dividend income on listed equities should not be subjected to double taxation.
A business can raise capital in only two ways: debt or equity.
When a company raises debt, the interest paid to lenders is treated as a business expense and deducted before tax. The lender may then pay tax on the interest received.
However, when a company raises equity capital, dividends are paid out of profits that have already suffered corporate tax. The shareholder is then taxed again on the same stream of income.
More importantly, equity capital bears far greater risk than debt capital. A lender has a contractual right to interest and principal repayment. A shareholder has no such guarantee. Dividends are discretionary, capital is fully at risk, and the shareholder stands last in line if a business fails.
If debt providers receive tax-deductible compensation despite bearing lower risk, there is a strong case for more favourable treatment of equity providers who supply the permanent capital that fuels entrepreneurship, innovation, employment and economic growth.
India needs to encourage long-term risk capital and greater participation in equity markets. Tax policy should reward those who provide patient equity capital to Indian enterprises rather than place them at a relative disadvantage compared to debt capital.
Respectfully submitted.
Indian pharma is going through a period of rapid change.
US tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty, a generational shift toward chronic therapies, a GLP-1 gold rush, and two of the biggest acquisitions in the sector's history, all landing within six weeks of each other.
A lot to unpack.🧵👇
Respected @nsitharaman ji and @FinMinIndia ,
Suggestion 1 of 3 for strengthening India's capital markets:
Long-term capital gains tax on listed equities should be abolished.
A long-term shareholder is not a speculator but a provider of patient risk capital. By investing in and holding businesses, investors help companies expand, create jobs, innovate and contribute to India's economic growth.
India requires enormous amounts of long-term capital to build world class enterprises, infrastructure and global champions. Tax policy should encourage households to move savings from passive assets, including imported stores of value such as gold, into productive businesses that create jobs, generate tax revenues and build national wealth.
The appreciation in a company's value is not created in isolation. During its growth journey, the government already collects corporate tax, GST, income tax from employees, customs duties, stamp duties and numerous other levies. Long-term capital gains are often the final outcome of economic activity that has already generated substantial tax revenues.
Most importantly, tax policy should clearly distinguish between investment and speculation. A long term shareholder is a partner in wealth creation, not merely a participant in market transactions. Tax policy should reward long-term ownership of productive businesses and distinguish it from short-term speculation.
India needs more patient capital, more entrepreneurship and more long term investing. Abolishing long-term capital gains tax on listed equities would be a powerful step in that direction.
Respectfully submitted.
Not many are talking about it, but this is one of the most underrated things India is shipping right now and every Indian must know what this is all about.
Let me explain;
The system is called DIGIPIN and the username layer sitting on top is called DHRUVA. Built by the Department of Posts in partnership with IIT Hyderabad and ISRO's National Remote Sensing Centre.
Officially launched on May 27, 2025.
Here's how it works.
DIGIPIN divides all of India into 4 metre by 4 metre squares. Every single square gets a unique 10-character code like 829-4G7-PMJ8. That's down to the level of your front door, your shop counter, your hospital entrance, your village home, even a fishing boat in territorial waters. The entire country is now a digital grid.
But remembering a 10-character alphanumeric code is hard. So DHRUVA sits on top of it. You convert your DIGIPIN into a simple readable handle like rajesh@dhruva. The handle stays with you for life. If you move houses, only the underlying DIGIPIN updates. Your handle doesn't change.
Exactly like UPI replaced 16-digit bank account numbers with simple handles. malay@ybl instead of remembering an account number.
But why is our government building this?
Today roughly 20-25% of Indian addresses are unstructured. Slums, tribal areas, unplanned colonies, rural homes without proper street names.
An average Indian spends 8-12 extra minutes on an average in finding an address in India versus 2-3 in the West.
Ambulances reach late because nobody can describe the lane. Banks reject mortgages because they can't verify the property location. Insurance claims get delayed because addresses don't match across documents. Quick commerce loses crores in failed deliveries every day.
DIGIPIN solves all of this with one open-source standard.
The full source code and documentation are on GitHub. Any government department, private company, or startup can integrate it for free.
This is exactly the India Stack playbook. Aadhaar (identity), UPI (payments), ULPIN (land), DigiLocker (documents), and now DIGIPIN (address) are all open public infrastructure that private companies build on top of.
Of course developed countries already use a version of this. But India is building the best of the lot.
> UK uses postcodes plus house numbers. Works because they have structured street planning from the 1800s. We don't.
> Dubai built Makani numbers. 10-digit codes tied to building entrances. Government-only, not open.
> Japan uses block-based addressing that relies on physical signage and local familiarity.
India just built the best version of all of these.
Open-source, geo-coded, privacy-first, with a human-readable layer that even a non-tech grandparent can use. And it's free to integrate.
Once this gets rolled out, the government expects that;
> Ambulance response times improve by 40-60% in unplanned areas.
> KYC verification becomes instant. No more manual address proof.
> Rural credit unlocks. Banks can verify property and ownership in seconds for loans.
> Disaster response improves. Floods, fires, earthquakes. Rescue teams know exact homes to reach.
> Insurance pricing becomes location-precise. Same building, ground floor versus third floor, different flood risk, different premium.
> E-commerce delivery accuracy goes from approximate to exact. Failed deliveries drop sharply.
> Privacy too gets better. You share your DHRUVA handle, not your physical address. The delivery agent gets the GPS coordinates without seeing your full address. Less data exposed, less misuse.
Boring infrastructure rarely gets any hype. Everyone laughed at UPI for the first two years. Now it processes 16 billion transactions a month and seven countries have adopted it.
DIGIPIN will be the same story. In 5 years we'll wonder how we ever functioned without it. In 10 years it'll be quietly running underneath every delivery, every emergency call, every loan approval in India.
@sanghaviharsh@narendramodi Kindly make this a norm to be followed even after the crisis.
Also, don’t show video footages of yours & ministers showcasing that you are following the same. Kindly don’t spend money on it.
1. You can use money to develop & help to get best education. No one wants to study …
@BJP4India Can all the politicians try and do virtual meetings instead of travelling around. Why even one car ? In such grave time can we think of doing that ? Save every drop of petrol. @narendramodi
Horrors of Partitions - This is how Sikh women & children jumped into the well to protect themselves from Pakistani Muslims men when Sikh men had died fighting Pakistani Muslim mobs, on the contrary no Pakistani Muslim women were harmed by Sikh & Hindu men.
