Peace talks in Vengaivayal failed, as officials could not convince residents to withdraw their election boycott. Despite assurances on roads and water facilities, protesters refused, rejecting the CB-CID findings that blamed them for contaminating the overhead tank. Officials said they will continue efforts. #ElectionsWithTNIE @xpresstn @NewIndianXpress

Gold worth $700 billion lying idle can fund India's growth: Nilesh Shah calls for monetisation push Read @ANI Story | aninews.in/news/gold-wort… #monetisation #India #NileshShah

Voted 🗳️. My choice to keep the #BJP at bay is a fundamental defence of value pluralism. I stand against the ideology of forced oneness, as #TamilNadu proves that true unity comes from respecting our distinct cultural identities, not from Union Govt. mandated uniformity. Beyond the ballot, my commitment to the uncompromising questioning of power remains. We must demand a justice system that works for the people, rather than one that stays silent when evidence is reported. #TNElection2026 #TNAssemblyElection2026

The cycle is complete, complaint has now been filed against the very woman many hailed as brave the voice of countless citizens stranded by protests, gatherings, and VIP convoys… Zen Sadavarte has filed a complaint against the “entitled” woman & asks “Who are you Madam to question our public authorities..” Ek aurat hi aurat ki dushman hoti hai!

This was totally expected. Shame on BJP and those who are supporting BJP for this incident. A complaint has been filed against the woman who stood up against the BJP's morcha that blocked the roads in Worli. It's not just her voice it's the voice of millions who suffer from authority and I Stand with that Woman who stood up against BJP's Morcha #MIvsCSK


Bernstein just wrote an open letter to India's Prime Minister — and it is asking some hard questions. (23rd April India Strategy note) 👇 1/ The employment question is existential, not cyclical - India's 10–15 million strong IT/BPO workforce — the backbone of the aspirational middle class — is directly in Gen AI's crosshairs. Manufacturing can't absorb the slack at current trajectory. The real question: does the next growth leg create engineers and product builders, or mostly drivers and delivery staff? 2/ Agriculture is stuck in a 1970s policy loop 42–45% of the workforce. 15–16% of GDP. - Below 1-hectare average holdings. Monsoon-dependent farming. Loan waivers instead of reform. The farm laws rollback made things harder, not less necessary. Rs 3–4 trillion in annual input subsidies need to shift toward post-procurement income transfers — and cold storage/logistics investment is not optional anymore. 3/ India risks becoming a permanent AI consumer, not a creator - Data centers are not a strategy. India doesn't own a single frontier AI model. If Indian data keeps training US and Chinese models while domestic capability goes unbuilt, the IT services sector hollows out with nothing to replace it. Bernstein's ask: fund domestic foundation models, build compute capacity, and push global AI companies to list in India — sharing value with the public. 4/ Manufacturing ambition keeps outrunning manufacturing depth - PLI created momentum, but the share of manufacturing in GDP is still stuck at 16–17%. Even in EVs, battery cells — 30–40% of cost — are largely imported from China. The pattern of late entry into industries after global supply chains are already formed needs to break. The next bet must be placed before the race is lost — automation, robotics, advanced materials, AI-integrated manufacturing. 5/ Cash transfer schemes are quietly crowding out capex - Women-only cash transfers across a dozen-plus states now total Rs 1.7–2.5 trillion annually — roughly 0.5% of GDP — and rising. In some states, these schemes absorb 2–3% of GSDP, squeezing infrastructure budgets. Bernstein isn't saying scrap them — targeted support has a role. But election-synchronised, unconditional, permanent transfers risk locking India into a low-productivity equilibrium where taxes fund today's consumption instead of tomorrow's capabilities. 6/ R&D spend of 0.6–0.7% of GDP is not a serious number for a country with semiconductor ambitions Merit-diluting reservation policies are hollowing out research institutions. Without fixing the talent pipeline and funding base, aspirations in AI, deep tech and semiconductors remain exactly that — aspirations. Bernstein's closing line: "India does not lack capital, talent, or ambition. What it requires now is a sharper willingness to take difficult decisions early, rather than defer them. The window to act is still open, but it is narrowing." #nifty #india #stockmarket #investing -------------------------------- Informational only. Not investment advice.

🚨Estevão prefers a conservative recovery to return to grass within 30 days and push for Brasil’s World Cup squad. This could avoid surgery until after the tournament, immediate surgery would rule him out. Further tests and discussions are ongoing. (via: @JacobsBen)



Literally the first paragraph. That's wild. Who does that? Why would you want to go and see a man-eater? People are just incredible.
