Not surprising. Wikipedia is completely controlled by leftist wokes and Islamists (many are Pakistanis).

In 2022, after I took up writing on Gopal Mukherjee (Gopal pantha) to spread his name, some Pakistani editors quietly deleted the Wikipedia English page on Gopal Mukherjee in 2022- 23. When I came to know of it, I wrote about it here on X, which created a lot of noise.

As revenge for highlighting the deletion of Gopal Mukherjee page and making it known, I am banned from editing on Wikipedia from 2023. They keep renewing the ban each time the ban period ends. The first time ban was by a Pakistani editor. After that each time it’s a different editor that keeps renewing the ban.
This image is today’s. After 8 months a different editor will again ban me from editing.

The 1978 Ranga-Billa case involved the brutal kidnapping and murder of teenage siblings Geeta and Sanjay Chopra in Delhi by career criminals Kuljeet Singh (Ranga) and Jasbir Singh (Billa).

The horrific crime shocked the nation, leading to a massive manhunt and the swift conviction of both killers, who were ultimately hanged in 1982.

The investigation was led by Inspector VP Gupta of the Delhi Police, with SI Ram Chander serving on the team. A bystander, who had tried to save the children, and later helped the police identify the killers by providing their descriptions was Babulal. The journalist who covered the case was Prabha Dutt.

Amazon Prime's series Raakh, which is based on this incident, replaces Inspector VP Gupta with SI Jayprakash Jatav, explicitly portrayed as a Dalit officer navigating institutional bias. Furthermore, SI Ram Chander is replaced by SI Javed Murtaza, Babulal by Saleem, and Prabha Dutt by Nisar, while a lazy hawaldar character named Mishra has been added to the narrative.

This isn't creative liberty. Creative liberty is meant to enhance a story, not distort historical facts to fit a specific ideological agenda. Another stark reminder of how easily history can be rewritten in plain sight under the convenient guise of creative freedom.

China too has a Sati-like practice- but far more gruesome.

Not only widows comitted suicide but there were mass murders too-Documented in Chinese sources themselves.

Why is everything about ethanol so secretive?
If the government is so confident about ethanol as the future fuel, shouldn't it rather be educating the public with scientifically backed research reports?
Instead, it wants to hide the reports, naming it as "classified".

[Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 @tehseenp]

Instead of fixing the highways which is Nitin Gadkari ji's department, he is busy growing the Ethanol business under the BETA BADHAO YOJNA! But tell me: with Ethanol blending shri Nitin Gadkari ji 𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐬 𝟏𝟓/ 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐞 !! Kya Hua sir?

Is the spine of Delhi Police so weak that it cannot even take action against their Sub inspectors who roam around the city breaking rules. Who knows if that number tampered car be used for criminal activities?

Is an SI boss of Delhi traffic police commissioner?
Is Delhi policing only limited to social media tweets?

What keeps their pants in knots?

Why the challan have not been issued even after 24 hours when a SI is running around in a tampered number plate car?

We the People of INDIA must be told : is it not conflict of interest that Shri Nitin Gadkari ji's son is in the ethanol business ? Also, why is the Ethanol blending policy being signed & announced by Shri Nitin Gadkari sir? Why was this announcement of E100 not made by the Petroleum, Agricultural or Industry ministers ?

I ran across this video a few days ago and couldn’t stop watching it.

It’s about something ordinary & boring, a plastic gas lighter. But it changes how one thinks about manufacturing.

That lighter in so many of our homes, holds pressurised gas. It has over 30 microscopic parts, has to pass international safety codes, & travel 10,000 miles by sea, & the total cost of doing all that, materials, labour, freight, every middleman along the way, comes to fifteen U.S cents.

So how does anyone make money on this?

Turns out almost the entire world’s supply comes from one place: a county called Shaodong, in China’s Hunan province.

It wasn’t always there.

But today, Shaodong has 114 lighter-related companies packed into the place & between them they source more than 200 different components from each other, all within a 20-kilometre radius. They supply something like seventy percent of the world’s disposable lighters. And the industry alone employs over 80,000 people locally.

Nobody there is winning on cheap labour anymore. They’re winning by shaving a thousandth of a cent off the thickness of a plastic wall, or redesigning a base so a few thousand more units fit into the same shipping container.

It took my thoughts back to an old professor of mine, Michael Porter.
His 1980 book, Competitive Strategy, is still the 1st book most MBAs read, the one that gave the world the Five Forces and basically invented modern strategic thinking.

But there’s a quieter piece of his work, on industrial clusters, that never got nearly the same attention, and it is the one that explains exactly what is happening in Shaodong.

His argument was that nations and regions rarely win because of cheap inputs. They win when rival firms and specialist suppliers crowd into the same small geography for long enough that they keep pushing each other past what any one of them could manage alone. He found it in the Swiss watchmaking towns of the Jura, in the German printing press industry and in Italy’s ceramic tile and footwear districts (interestingly, it’s the SAME blueprint which built Morbi, in Gujarat, into the world’s second-largest ceramic cluster, now outproducing Italy by volume. I have posted before, about Morbi)

None of these started out as giants. The neighbourhood made them giants.

Which is exactly why it’s so relevant to India’s climb up the global manufacturing table

I’ve also attached a slide with this post that I saw recently and which shows us breaking into the top 5 manufacturing globally. (A quick reference check told me that we may not have overtaken Korea yet, but the trajectory’s clear)

That climb has happened on the back of scale: bigger plants, bigger parks, more FDI.

I should declare an interest here, because the Mahindra Group set up 2 of India’s first integrated, plug-and-play business cities, in Chennai in 2002 & Jaipur in 2006.

Both have been extremely successful. Chennai’s business zone alone today employs 45,000 people..

But I admit that we need to think differently.

A park brings in investors and hands them a ready plot, power, water & roads

A cluster is a completely different animal: hundreds of small, specialised suppliers, each obsessed with doing a tiny thing better than anyone else, feeding off each other’s presence for years until no outsider can compete with the whole.

I think that’s the work ahead of us now.

Not just more factories, and not just more parks.

Policymakers & developers like us need to start consciously pulling as many of the inputs and resources a sector needs, the toolmakers, the component suppliers, the testing labs, the logistics specialists, into the same neighbourhood.

Shaodong and Morbi both got there by accident, one town stumbling onto a way to shave a thousandth of a cent off a lighter wall, the other discovering it had the clay and, later, the gas pipeline for tiles.

We don’t have the luxury of waiting for accidents anymore.

We need to do it on purpose
