An equal citizen

@omarali50 for simplicity I compared Vajpayee, UPA and Modi

He is still upset that he has not been to coerce India on the trade deal to the extent he wanted. He is still smarting because of this and is conveying his feelings with these frivolous and patronising remarks.

The MoU constitutes a resounding Iranian diplomatic success. Many possibilities of a slip between the cup and the lip because the US has been bested. Trump will face severe criticism at home for making vital concessions to Iran in the background of his doomsday rhetoric on Iran’s nuclear programme, the curbing of its missile capabilities and containing its regional role. Israel has been thwarted. India would welcome a successful settlement after 60 days but needs to keep its fingers crossed.

Who cares? Not the government, not the courts, not the media. Sick.

इस रिपोर्ट के हिसाब से रिसर्च और डेवलपमेंट (R & D) में सभी देशों ने निवेश बढ़ाया है। केवल भारत ही ऐसा देश है जिसका निवेश (जीडीपी के प्रतिशत के रूप में) न केवल सबसे कम है बल्कि वह घटा भी है।

Vishwaguru among the only nations where the R&D spending as a percentage of GDP has decreased in the past decade and more.

The main stream media is so lame in India that instead of being a watchdog of democracy it is celebrating the breaking of parties by the ruling party using every trick in the book. When this chapter of our history is written our profession would be the most debased

I am proud to be the first Democrat to take this pledge to reject money from AIPAC and affiliated groups, recognize the genocide in Gaza, and oppose aid to Israel and military sales that kill civilians.

IAF, grappling with lack of adequate aircraft & helicopters, flies over 200 sorties to transport #NEET-UG question papers!

The truth is not pretty. Perhaps @EmergingRoy could follow this with a piece on what India’s leadership needs to urgently do (minus shedding hubris) to change this situation.

Naidu ji, let’s try a thought experiment. Say your salary is 2 lakhs and your driver’s is 20,000. You announce a 50% increase for everybody. Your salary is now 3 lakhs and your driver’s is 30,000. The percentage or proportional increase is the same — but aren’t you much better off than your driver, than you used to be? That’s what your fellow Southern CMs are concerned about. You don’t think there’s any difference between UP’s 80 MPs today versus Kerala’s 20 MPs, if it tomorrow becomes 120 vs 30? Some proportionate difference, huge difference in political weight — with 90 more UP MPs against 10 more Kerala MPs. Is that of no concern to you at all? @ncbn @vdsatheesan @INCKerala

The josh is just fine. (Everyone who wanted the Opposition on the streets, here's your chance to join them. Water cannons in Haryana, surging crowds in Rajasthan, take your pick.)

The Pentagon’s decision to drop “Indo” and revert to U.S. Pacific Command, coupled with the recent U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) barely mentioning India, has understandably raised questions about India’s standing in Washington. The relationship is increasingly defined less by shared strategic vision than by hard-nosed transactions, as Trump seeks a modus vivendi with China and rediscovers Pakistan’s utility in preventing any single power from dominating the subcontinent.

@FinestYew Savarkar, Golwalkar, S. Aurobindo, S. Vivekananda these people are more into socio-cultural thing rather than socialism/capitalism..

@FinestYew i guess , you mean, India should have Cultural Nationalism or Ethnic/Cultural Majoritarianism instead of constitutional nationalism and more capitalism instead of present day socialism--did i get it right?

I keep telling people this. The issue is not political, it's generational & cultural. The older generation's worldview is informed by a deeply Fabian Socialist framework of a post Independence India rather than an evolution of the older Bharatiya tradition. 1/2.

It sounds like we lost by the Iran war, in the sense that the deal we're getting now is worse than they were offering before we attacked. And if we lost by the war, we lost the war.

Congratulations @PMOIndia

Under the what are they smoking category As per the latest National Family and Health survey 85% of India's children in the 6-23 month age group do not receive an 'adequate' diet 32% children under-5 yrs age are underweight More than half of India's graduates up to the age of 29 are unemployed Even among those that are shown as employed less than 7% are in salaried jobs But yeah the most important demographic advice is to have three or more children 🤦 बिहार में तो पैदा कर रहे हैं ना तीन बच्चे, हो गई उन्नति वहाँ? Table and data as highlighted by @sayantanbera

Actual survey results are very insightful and informative (sure some statistical bias / shortcomings but still). Per this survey 29% kids under 5 are stunted and 31% are underweight. How does this sit with projecting power : hegemony etc. 1/3 underweight: that’s quite large %. 20per of men are on diabetic medication or high sugar levels ! 20per of men are below normal BMI and 27 per are obese / overweight. That’s like 50 per outside normal range

A lack of faith in India's political leadership being able to steer the country's economy for the future.

Excellent analysis by @EmergingRoy. You have explained the current situation very well.But unfortunately #ModiShah are still living in hubris,have not accepted the reality of enormous problem facing India. Modi thinks his foreign trips & getting cheap medals abroad is a great 1/
