@PMOIndia@narendramodi isn’t this a bad sign? Why so many transfers, all for some corrupt people’s gain… not a good scenario…can we do something to change this trend?
Imagine being a Computer Science grad from IIT Kharagpur with a GPA of 9.87 You have Ivy League offers waiting. Silicon Valley is calling your name. But you choose to stay in India out of a deep sense of patriotism. You crack UPSC with an All India Rank of 35. You join the IAS in 1991, Haryana cadre. Then you get transferred. Then again. And again. And again. Fifty-seven times in 33 years. Three of your 1991 batchmates went on to become the Chief Secretary. But not you.
That's Ashok Khemka. The country he stayed for did not stay for him.
A friend of mine, who happens to be an MBA student with a decent job, asked me whether I support the ongoing protest
When I asked him why do you think I should support the protest?
He said:
> India has the highest debt of 500 lakh crore
> Highest unemployment rate in the world
> No new education institutions
> Primary schools getting closed
> Highest inflation in the world
> Per capita GDP very low in comparison to other countries in the world
> Students not being able to crack competitive exams
> Multiple paper leaks
> Vishwaguru is JUMLA
I was surprised to see how someone so educated could be so misinformed.
I answered to his questions:
> In 2014, India's external debt stood at around 23.9% of GDP (approximately ₹55 lakh crore)
Today, it is around 19.1% of GDP (about ₹181 lakh crore). This is nowhere close to the ₹500 lakh crore figure he mentioned
> Sudan has the highest unemployment rate in the world not India, India currently has an unemployment rate of 5.5%. In global comparisons among major economies, India performs better than countries like France (8.1%) and Spain (10.83%)
> In 2014, India had 16 IITs, 7 AIIMS, 13 IIMs, and 9 IIITs. Today, there are 23 IITs, 22 AIIMS, 20 IIMs, and 25 IIITs
> Venezuela has the highest inflation rate in the world not India, India is performing the best even in the ongoing wars with inflation below 4.5%
> India's per capita income has increased by more than 45% since 2014
> The inability to crack competitive exams is largely an individual outcome. However, the government's role is to ensure a fair, transparent, and merit-based examination system
> If we are comparing with the past, the situation was worse. Even high school examination papers used to be leaked. That said, paper leaks remain unacceptable, and there must be strict accountability
> Any country that confers its highest civilian honour does not do so without recognizing a person's influence, contribution, or global stature. Whether one agrees with the term "Vishwaguru" or not, India's growing international standing cannot be dismissed
I have no issue with anyone protesting or criticizing the government. In fact, that's a fundamental right in a democracy. But if your arguments don't stand up to basic fact-checking, then you're not challenging the government, you're simply spreading misinformation.

@krishnabgowda Get into crowded market places and set them straight, rest all will follow to obey the rules..areas which might need immediate attention- railways stations, market places like Commercial Street, chickpet, Brigade Road, Church street, etc…
@AdyashaSatpath3 Most of the leaders come with a criminal background and that is the dampener… for a normal citizen, the simplest of the solution is walk away as it might cause physical harm to them and their family…till the judiciary and police become clean, this will not change.
@AdyashaSatpath3@OrissaPOSTLive Can you run some campaigns on cleanliness in villages, towns and cities of Odisha? Start with government offices, hospitals, etc and bring them to the limelight, both good and bad ones.
🚨77 दिन का मौन चीत्कार और भीड़तंत्र का बहरापन!
रवींद्र जठेड़ी जी पिछले 77 दिनों से भेदभावपूर्ण SC/ST एक्ट और आरक्षण व्यवस्था के खिलाफ आमरण अनशन पर हैं।
उनकी हालत दिन प्रतिदिन नाजुक होती जा रही है। लेकिन सबसे बड़ा और कड़वा सच यह है कि वह आज भी उतने ही अकेले हैं, जितने पहले दिन थे।
रवींद्र जी, आपको एक बहुत ही कठोर वास्तविकता समझनी होगी।
आप CJP के कोई 'दिपके' नहीं हैं। आपके पीछे कोई विदेशी फंडिंग, पीआर एजेंसी या मोमबत्ती लेकर घूमने वाला इकोसिस्टम नहीं है जो आपके लिए रातों रात नेशनल मीडिया को इकट्ठा कर ले।
और जिन कथित सवर्ण (GC) राजनीतिक संगठनों से आप उम्मीद लगाए बैठे हैं, वह भी कभी आपके समर्थन में नहीं आएंगे।
मुख्यधारा की राजनीतिक पार्टियों की तरह ही, इन संगठनों को भी इस मुद्दे से सिर्फ अपना राजनीतिक स्वार्थ साधना है।
वह चाहते हैं कि यह मुद्दा सुलगता रहे ताकि उनकी दुकान चलती रहे।
जब कोई व्यक्ति सच में इस लड़ाई के लिए अपने प्राण दांव पर लगाता है, तो ये संगठन सबसे पहले गायब हो जाते हैं।
यह देश केवल भीड़तंत्र और शक्ति प्रदर्शन की भाषा समझता है।
जहां पीछे उग्र भीड़ नहीं होती, वहां सत्ता के कान पर जूं तक नहीं रेंगती।
आपसे हाथ जोड़कर विनती है कि कृपया अपना यह अनशन तुरंत समाप्त करें।
यह संवेदनहीन सिस्टम आपके इस बलिदान के लायक बिल्कुल नहीं है।
कृपया अपनी सेहत पर ध्यान दें, आपके प्राण आपके परिवार के लिए बहुत कीमती हैं। 🙏🚩

A college student just killed the biggest advantage politicians have ever had. The gap between the lie and the fact-check.
He built a Chrome extension called InTruth. It listens to any live speech, debate, or interview.
Transcribes every word. And checks every claim against real sources in real time. Before the speaker even finishes the sentence.
It works on debates. Press conferences. Town halls. Interviews. Anything with someone talking on video. The fact-check shows up on your screen while they're still talking.
Until now, fact-checking happened hours or days later. By then the clip has been shared, the headline has been written, and the damage is done. Nobody reads the correction.
InTruth closes that gap to seconds. The claim and the fact-check exist in the same moment.
A college student, a Chrome extension, and an AI model just did what entire newsrooms couldn't figure out for decades.
Dr Kulbir Jakhar of Haryana, sharing his real life experience of how NEET exams was conducted in 2009 during UPA rule.
This is his experience while appearing for NEET. He is MBBS, MD from PGIMS Rohtak.
bro's PR is so dead that indian railways under him just introduced india's 1st hydrogen train making us the 5th country to do so & no one's talking about it.
A reporter asked Lamine Yamal how he handles the pressure of carrying Spain at 18. His answer: my mother had me when she was 16, that's real pressure. My father picked things off the street to bring food home, that's pressure. All I have to do is play football.
That's the whole story of who he is, and most fans only know the surface of it.
Before he was born, his teenage parents fell behind on rent. Two neighbors named Lamine and Yamal covered them, and his father vowed his son would carry both names forever. His legal name is a permanent record of a debt his family couldn't repay in money. In Arabic, the names mean "the trustworthy" and "beauty."
His parents split when he was around 5. His mother raised him in Granollers on a fast food wage. And here's the detail almost nobody knows: that job is the reason he became a footballer. Through work she met the daughter of the youth coordinator at CF La Torreta, his first club. When she worried she couldn't cover the fees, he told her that if the boy wants to play, money will never be the reason he can't.
As a kid, Lamine told his parents: if you're counting on me getting a normal job, we're in trouble. But if I become a footballer, you'll never have to worry again.
He signed with Barcelona at 7. He was right by 15.
Every goal, he flashes 304 with his fingers. The end of 08304, the postal code of Rocafonda, the neighborhood where strangers paid his family's rent before he existed. It gets credited on every goal since.
Today, at 19, he plays for the World Cup. And if he scores tonight, somewhere in the biggest broadcast on Earth, two neighbors will hear their names, and a postal code will flash on 2 billion screens.
Truth of Bangladesh creation…Must read and share
If any Congress loyalist claims that Indira Gandhi split Pakistan into two,
then ask him one simple question: what did India actually gain from it?
In the creation of Bangladesh, 435 Indian soldiers and officers were martyred.
More than 36 Hunter, Jaguar, and MiG aircraft were lost.
The biggest tragedy occurred off the Diu coast, when the Pakistan Navy attacked INS Khukri with torpedoes and destroyed it.
136 Indian naval personnel were killed, and Admiral Mahendra Nath Mulla attained martyrdom.
This was among the deadliest naval attacks in world history, in which India lost a major warship along with its commander and entire crew.
Additionally, 56 Indian officers and soldiers remained imprisoned in Pakistani jails and were never brought back by Indira Gandhi.
Pakistan also attacked and killed Gujarat’s Congress Chief Minister Balwantrai Mehta, his wife, and 12 others when their aircraft was shot down.
India lost a serving Chief Minister in that war.
To create Bangladesh, India made enormous sacrifices.
The biggest sacrifice was economic:
To sustain Bangladeshi refugees, Indira Gandhi increased the household burden of every Indian by nearly 30 percent.
Cinema tickets carried an extra charge of ₹1.20.
Train fares were increased by ₹0.75.
Bus fares across states were raised from ₹1 up to ₹4.
Every grain market in India was charged ₹1.20 per quintal, specifically to fund Bangladeshi refugees.
In addition, ₹400 crore worth of Bangladeshi refugee stamps were printed.
Salaries could not be withdrawn without purchasing and signing these stamps.
Any transaction above ₹100 required this stamp, similar to revenue stamps.
For land registration or court work, at least ₹5 worth of refugee stamps was mandatory.
These stamps were required in most transactions, and the collected money was sent to Bangladesh.
The ISKCON temple in Dhaka, along with George Harrison of The Beatles and Ravi Shankar, organized multiple concerts across the United States and Europe to feed starving Bangladeshis.
About 14 million dollars were collected and sent to Bangladesh.
For nearly five years, hungry and destitute Bangladeshis were fed at ISKCON temples.
And what happened later?
The same ISKCON temple in Dhaka that fed and supported them was burned down and destroyed a few years ago.
Bangladeshis forgot the help of India, the country that liberated them from Pakistani oppression.
The largest mass rape in world history occurred in East Pakistan.
General Tikka Khan, known as the Butcher of Bangladesh, publicly declared that Bengalis would be racially altered.
He ordered soldiers to impregnate Bengali women.
Around 200,000 Bengali women were raped.
Later, Pakistan’s Hamoodur Rahman Commission claimed that “only” 45,000 women were raped, revealing their moral bankruptcy.
The situation was so horrific that India, Italy, the United States, Canada, and Britain sent thousands of gynecologists to Bangladesh.
Pakistani oppression was so severe that many Bengali officers in the Pakistan Army were driven to suicide.
Yet today, that same Bangladeshi community aligns itself with Pakistan and abuses India, the very nation that ensured their survival and bore the full cost of their liberation.
