@VishalBhargava5 100% truth.People in India are mostly of no morals and anyone can buy them off by throwing some crumbs.Our books are full of morals and ethics but people are 3rd grade. You talk to anyone and you will find them justifying corruption as convenience fee. Poor or rich..all corrupt.

The controversial Governor General of India, Lord Cornwallis, once remarked “every native of India is corrupt.” He said it in 1790. Seeing India today - he will be smiling with vindication.

@iamankitpande Once I was returning from Singapore and there was a guy sitting beside me (claiming to be some actor), drunk and behaving weird. When airhostess came, he acted very bad and talked nonsense. No one opposed except me. I gave his team a verbal treatment.They were ashamed.

Not all threats wear masks. Some sit right next to you on a domestic flight. On my Varanasi to Delhi flight, I watched a group of 4 Chhapri men turn a simple journey into a nightmare for a female air hostess. Calling her again and again for no reason. Asking useless questions just to keep her coming back. Finding cheap excuses to touch her. She told them clearly to stop. They didn’t. And the worst part? These people travel freely, sit among families, act normal outside, and then show their real mindset when they think no one will question them. India doesn’t just have an education problem. It has a basic behavior problem.

@SanDiegoKnight Change the policy if you do not like. As long as people are applying under legal policy, I don't see a reason to complain.

India is flooding the EB-5 investor visa program so hard that the State Department is warning it may have to **retrogress** (move the cutoff date backwards) or make the entire “unreserved” category **unavailable** for the rest of FY 2026. Translation: - EB-5 = pay $800K+ to get a green card for you + family. - India’s demand is now so massive they’re about to hit the annual cap **early**. - New applicants could be forced to wait years longer… or get shut out completely this year. This is the same country already dominating H-1B and OPT backlogs. The entire employment-based green card system is collapsing under the weight of one country’s demand. Time to reform the caps and put Americans first.

@yadujavalkar I am getting sick of this kind of comparisons. We don't need to put great personalities of past against each other and compare. It does not achieve anything except creating unnecessary divisions.

@revathitweets Very inhuman behaviour. Forget about the corporate for a moment, as a human with basic decency, people who were managing there should have tried to help. Have we become so numb thay we can not provide basic help for someone who is fighting for life? Disgusting and very sad.

WHY ARE WORKERS AGITATING??? Today morning, Satyanarayana, a housekeeping supervisor at PVR Galleria, Punjagutta, Hyderabad came to work as usual. But suddenly started experiencing discomfort in his chest and told the management that he wants to leave. He was not given permission to go. After a little while, Satyanarayana started throwing up and fell unconscious in front of the movie projection screen while working! Guess what the management of PVR Galleria did??? They got him lifted from inside the mall and left him on the footpath 🙏🏽 He was left to die on the road…!!! Movie Screening giant, PVR, reported ₹ 58,746 million consolidated revenue in 2025!!! They didn’t have an iota of humanity in their heart to even call for an ambulance and treat Satyanarayana as a human. He was dumped on the street like some garbage…!!! Satyanarayana probably is a third party employee and PVR Galleria probably didn’t want their morning business to be affected by a dead worker in their premises. Also, if they called for an ambulance, they would have to pay a few lakhs towards the treatment. Why lose money for a worker?? Was that the thought process? @_PVRCinemas Wife of Satyanarayana was seen asking what stopped them from calling an ambulance and sending him to a government hospital at least. There is NIMS Hospital just 5mins away from their mall!!! Such shamelessness! Such inhumanity! This is exactly the kind of behaviour against which workers are protesting in Noida for the last few days.

@GabbbarSingh BJP will do it first if Congress starts pressing for it. End goal is same for both parties. BJP wants to retain power and will do anything for it. Congress wants to get back in power and they will do anything for it. No ideology, no principals...only insatiable lust for power.

@gajabhauX @TeluguIndiaUS Pakistani account operating from US.

@TeluguIndiaUS It’s unfortunate to see you separating yourself from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. South will be irrelevant in Indian politics

Trust me If delimitation happens, a #SouthExit campaign will start, and then discussions around regional separation may arise. People will want separation from unfair political dominance and imbalance.

@MadhavVaruna No one cares about Hindi in BJP. They have not done much for Hindi in Hindi speaking states only and completely obliterated Hindi medium education except one exception in MP. If you have an issue with Hindi, BJP should be your last problem.

4th June, 2024 . Many of us had tears in our eyes after watching him as BJP didn't reach the 400 mark or even the majority. But now I understand this day saved us from many injustices and decisions. They would have definitely gone to make Hindi as the National language.

@anujdhar @grok There is no peace without strength. All peace loving and culturally superior empires were anhilated by savages who believed in brute power.

"I am absolutely convinced that if any country adopted unilateral disarmament through strength, nobody would be able to injure it and it will win in the end." -- Pt Jawaharlal Nehru in June 1962 Old picture enhanced and coloured using @grok 🙏

@CivitasSameer No one really cares. We had Rao as one of the best PM and he was a scholar with knowledge of more than a dozen languages. There was a time when Moopnar almost became PM and really no one would have bothered about language there. Devegowda managed with English.

Let's play along - if we do have a "South Indian Prime Minister" which language will he/she speak? 🤣🤣🤣

@ajaykraina So, GCs should argue for reforms like arguing has achieved or going to achieve anything. In this country only vote bank matters and as a political entity, GCs number do not count, suppsed to pay all taxes and have to bear with stupid biased policies in the name of social justi e.

If I were India’s adversary, I’d sleep very well at night, not because of any dazzling strategic brilliance on my part, but because my opponent seems determined to do half the job for me. Every nation has internal fault lines. That’s not unique. What is unique is the enthusiasm with which we advertise, amplify, and weaponise our own divisions. It’s as if national cohesion is optional, but public infighting is a constitutional duty. Take the current churn within Hindu society. Policies, politics, and rhetoric are increasingly slicing identity into finer and finer fragments. Caste, which is already a sensitive and complex social reality, gets sharpened into a political instrument. Ironically, many argue that the rigid, pan-Indian ossification of caste was significantly shaped and systematised during colonial rule. Yet here we are, in 2026, refining it with modern tools and social media bandwidth. And then comes the reaction—equally baffling. Sections of so-called “general caste” voices, instead of arguing for reform, equity, or a coherent national framework, swing to the other extreme: floating fantastical ideas like an “Islamic-GC nation.” One has to pause and admire the intellectual gymnastics—fighting identity fragmentation by… inventing a new, even more confused identity construct. At this point, the adversary doesn’t need psy-ops. We’ve industrialised it domestically. Serious nations debate policy. Confident societies absorb disagreement without fracturing. Mature civilisations reform their internal inequities without turning every issue into a zero-sum identity war. We, on the other hand, seem to have mistaken outrage for strategy and reaction for ideology. If stupidity had another name, it would probably be something less offensive—because at least stupidity is usually unintentional. What we are witnessing is far more deliberate: the conscious choice to prioritise narrow identities over a shared national purpose. And that is not just amusing. It’s strategically expensive. @AadiAchint

@thekaipullai Great story!

I started watching the movie "Thaai Kizhavi" on Hotstar the other day, which is set in the heart of Tamil Nadu, I encountered a very unfamiliar name for a character. The character's name was "Pennycuick" Now in a land where language is an emotional topic where people sever relations, friendships and even give their lives for Tamil, a Scottish first name for a Tamil guy seems a little out of place. Some may even call it a blasphemy. How an odd Scottish Surname, whose origins lay in the town town of Penicuick near Edinburgh, became a symbol of pride and honour, 8000 kms away on the other side of the globe in Southern Tamil Nadu, is an amazing story. It is a story that also tells you the real meaning and purpose of life. It makes you understand that all the worldly things like power, prestige, position and money that we crave for, is just a mirage that we are chasing. The real glory lies someplace else. And it starts with one man. John Pennycuick (1841 - 1911) John Pennycuick was born in Pune in the year 1841, as the fourth son of Brigadier John Pennycuick, a soldier in the British army. However at the age of 8, a great tragedy befell him and his family. In 1849, in the second Anglo Sikh War, his father and his elder brother Alexander, were killed in action fighting the Sikhs in the battle of Chillianwala. When a kid sees his father and brother killed by the natives they are supposed the rule, the normal course of action is to grow up into a into a rabid Indian hating racist white man, who would have spent the rest of his life cursing India. But John Pennycuick was a better man than that. He wanted to do something that would leave a legacy behind him. And luckily for Tamil Nadu, he did. If you have ever seen a physical map of India, you will see a contiguous mountain range that separates Tamil Nadu and Kerala. These are called the Western Ghats. Now the Western Ghats, despite all their beauty and splendor, have one small problem. If you had been attentive in your sixth standard geography class, you would have known that Kerala receives most of its rain from what we call the South West Monsoon winds, which flow in from the Arabian sea. Most of the lush, beautiful, God's own country poster type greenery, is because of the abundant rainfall provided by these winds. Unfortunately, despite being in close proximity to Kerala, Tamil Nadu gets almost zero benefit from them because of these imposing ghats The problem is acute especially in the districts of Theni, Madurai, Dindigul and Ramnad. In Geography, we call it the Rain Shadow region. In the mid 19th Century, the British recognized this problem. They understood that their rapidly growing cities of Cumbum, Theni, Madurai, Ramnad etc, could not be supplied by the miniscule waters of the Vaigai River. They needed to do something drastic, to avoid a catastrophe. Their solution was the River Periyar in today's Kerala. They thought, if they could divert that river with a dam and a tunnel, and make those waters flow into the River Vaigai, the entire area from Theni to Ramnad could be transformed from an arid wasteland to an agricultural heaven. They even finalized a site at the confluence of the River Mullai and Periyar. They called it, the Mullaiperiyar dam. Unfortunately, this was not a computer game where two clicks and one prompt could build a structure that would divert the water. This was real life. And in the 1800s, real life was infinitely more difficult what it is today. The first proposal for this dam came from the Maharaja of Ramnad in 1789. Realizing the cost of the dam would be greater than the total value of his kingdom, he gave up Then the British tried their luck in 1850. But when the first teams saw the malarial swamp and the pestilential land that they had to live in, they turned around faster than Pakistanis in front of an Indian army battalion. Between 1860 to 1882, four different proposals were sent for the construction of this dam, but each time it was rejected citing impracticality, affordability, lunacy and sometimes, all the three. Then came a Certain John Pennycuick. Serving as an officer in the Public Works department, in 1887 he landed in this desolate area to take charge of building the dam. First problem he faced was the access to the site. The entire dam needed 80,000 tons of limestone and motorable roads, cranes and automobiles were at least 40 years away. So he built a ropeway and then used bullock carts to transfer the limestone to the dam site. Then there was the issue of diseases, especially Malaria. He stumbled across a local arrack that ostensibly prevented it. Pennycuick issued them to all the labourers working on the dam. They were high, happy and malaria free. Slowly, the dam started taking shape. But then the biggest issue was the River Periyar itself. It realized that someone was trying to control it. So it started rebelling. It blew away all the coffer dams that were trying to restrain it. And when this flooding happened once to often, the British guys decided that it was time to cut their losses and run. They stopped funding for the Mullaiperiyar dam. But Pennycuick was not the one to stop at trifling issues like stopping of funds. He sold his wife's jewelry and personally funded the rest of the dam. And finally in 1895, the dam and the tunnel needed for diversion, was ready. Through the 173 feet dam, 3000 ft above sea level, and a 1.5 km tunnel cut thru the mountains of western ghats, 3000 cusecs of water finally flowed into Vaigai. The water problem of Theni, Madurai and Ramnad, was finally solved. Today the Mullaiperiyar dam, irrigates more than 2 lakh acres of farmland. More than 50 lakh people directly depend on it, either for agriculture or drinking water. The districts of Theni, Madurai, Dindigul, Sivaganga and Ramnad, have transformed from arid regions with frequent draughts to agricultural hotspots. In the last 125 years it has benefitted. directly or indirectly. more than 100 million people. It has made Theni, Madurai and Ramnad the cities that they are today. One dam, built by the vision and perseverance of one man, 131 years later, is still benefitting generation after generation John Pennycuick could have taken the easier path in life. He could have gone back to Britain and lived a lavish comfortable life. He could have hated us Indians for killing his father and brother. He could have been a bitter man for the rest of his life. But he didn't. He decided to do benefit the land that he didn't even belong to. He wanted to alleviate the lives of people who were not even from his actual country. He wanted to bring succour and happiness to a lot that probably hated him. He built the dam despite knowing he would neither be recognized for it, nor benefit from it financially. He helped very same set of people who were responsible for the deaths of his father and brother. What he did, transcended race, religion, caste and identity. It towers above stuff like region and language Today Pennycuick isn't just a name in Theni district. It is a matter or pride and honour. Their bus stand is named the John Pennycuick bus stand. People, as shown in the movie, are named Pennycuick. There have been thousands of rich men in Theni and Madurai after Pennycuick. There have been hundreds of leaders, politicians and officers who have trod on that land. But none inspire the following and regard that Pennycuick has, 115 years after his death. John Pennycuick proves to all of us, that you can earn money, buy cars, build houses, go to Universities abroad and float thermacol sheets on rivers, but respect and legacy, is the ultimate currency. Because in 2026, you don't remember the MP / MLA of Madurai / Theni. You don't remember their Ivy league degrees. You don't remember their family legacy. You don't remember their mansions and money. They are all forgotten in the sands of time. But you have and will always remember, John Pennycuick. P:S: Today, we talk about North India / South India, Hindi / Tamil etc. Sometimes I wonder what would Pennycuick from heaven feel about all of this. P:P:S: Once when someone asked why Pennycuick was doing this idiotic stuff, he said ""I am going to be only once in this earthly world, hence I need to do some good deeds here. This deed should not be prorogue nor ignored since I am not going to be here again"

@jpsin1 @lenskart What is the issue with Bindi? I would like to have a logical explanation.

Since past 2 months the activist group was saying the filthy abusive community notes on PM Modi tweets are organic and this is anger against him A thread 🧵 to debunk the "organic" claim In this screenshot A member of a GC says - "Buddhe (Modi) ki post pe CN stamp nhi ho raha hai" Other member confirms - Sab pe toh lag gaya hai ab - means the efforts were successful

@IraninHyderabad @majorgauravarya Iran got huge support from mainstream Indians. I don't see a reason why you should be highlighting some individual's statement. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion.

Gaurav Arya says: "We are the real brother of Israel and we want Israel to drop 100 bombs on Lebanon and 50 bombs on Gaza." 🔹@majorgauravarya brotherhood with a genocidal and occupying regime has no credibility. It’s the classic gaslighting circular argument: Israel invades → people resist → Israel blames the resistance to justify even more invasions

@An_witness001 @mujifren Sure..like I am also being funded from somewhere.There are people who are independent/not connected with any group.Everyone is not on parole of a political party and frankly, BJP is rattled because they can not control narrative on social media. So, call it whatever,I don't care.

@SparklingIntree @mujifren Then don't call it organic. Twitter doesn't even represent 1% of india

@Gungun187702 I work in Karnataka and I love the state. Very good people, soft spoken and friendly. I only can wish best for the state. We can have bad experience anywhere but we can not generalize it.

Apart from your home state, which state of India do you like the most?

@ReservationRF I don't think GCs ever need to run a hashtag to prove love for country. I personally will never put any hashtag to prove anything, my existence itself is enough. These kind of hashtag are for people who are not sure about their loyalty...nonsense like main bhee chaukidaar etc.

Do you know, after the anti-India statements from her team, when we asked her to run a national hashtag like “GC Loves India,” she refused to post or tweet even a single tag? Instead, she removed all the people who were saying “We GC love India.” Then we publicly asked for her support through the post below, but she still didn’t respond. I kept wondering—what is making it so difficult for her to say this? 🤔

@Preetam_M_Rao BJP created a mess and now trying to guilt trip GCs with laughable allegations. We supported these bastards all our life, defended them but they proved worst then Congress. Vibhishan hai Macrohard saale. Enemy is better than backtabbers because you know they are enemy and expect.

It's ok even if the GC activism is infiltrated by ppl with political affiliations. Concerns are genuine. BJP still needs to be belted for all their fuckups. They took us for granted for way too long & betrayed us in the name of Hindutva. Don't let Pak, CIA, DS get in the way!
