@dabir@blrcitytraffic@letsblinkit@Jointcptraffic Apart frm police penalising these delivery boys, cos like @ZeptoNow@letsblinkit@amazonIN etc should also penalise their delivery boys, by cutting down their incentives n payments. These cos are putting their own delivery boys lives in danger by pushing quick deliveries..
@sarpame@krishnabgowda While this is good he is speaking, but r the law enforcing authorities doing anything about it? All they do is come collect daily hafta frm these road side businesses & allow them to occupy footpaths. It's high time he pulls up the authorities to enforce else sack the incompetent
@kochattil@SupriyaShrinate@PriyankKharge They dare not do that.. George Soros and the Vatican will ensure that the Gandhi Family is moved out from the helm of Congress..

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.
