People saying India would be a current account surplus country without gold imports are not entirely wrong. In 5 of the last 6 completed financial years, if you simply remove the gold import bill, India’s current account would have looked much better, often surplus. But that is only half the story. While the state may look at gold and just see a forex problem, the average Indian household looks at gold and sees insurance. For many Indian families, gold is not some irrational shiny-metal fetish. It is a hedge against inflation, rupee weakness, medical emergencies, job loss, bad markets, bad banks and bad governments. Also remember that the people lecturing you to save in rupees usually have better escape routes themselves: land, dollar assets, business equity, political access, foreign education funds and offshore options. Do what is best for you and your family, stop thinking about nation-this and nation-that, you are not personally responsible for fixing the current account deficit, you don't need to become a victim yourself to fulfill some unofficial patriotic duty.

The MF Industry should also restrict flows in Gold ETF.. put a daily cap of 5000 Rs per pan. I also urge govt to launch -gold monetisation scheme -India semiconductors n energy Bond fund in USD to increase inflows & provide growth capital. -tax FPIs on residency

Dear men, do you agree with her? 👀

Keyboard warriors sitting in AC room keep complaining about their desires not getting fulfilled . But even those half of his age cannot even stay outside just for 30 mins. He is spending whole day in sun just to save states from anti national governments. Reason why I can't see him lose even local panchayat elections

Today I got to know DLF Cybercity, Gurugram has its own fire station. It has 90-meter Bronto Skylift that can reach up to 30 floors. With air & water purifiers, generators, 24/7 security, parks- private societies are now buying everything. So, why are we paying taxes to govt?

It can happen in India too! China's Real Estate Market has erased all gains from the last 20 years.

Choose wisely.

Rich influencers in India often pretend to be 'middle class' to sound relatable! They frequently share sob stories (most of which are fabricated) of 'humble beginnings' to appeal to the masses. Comedian Vir Das has recently claimed that he came to Mumbai with 'very little' and made it big in life. Wow, a beautiful story of introspection! For those who don't know, Vir Das is the grandson of India's first ambassador to Bhutan. Brajbir Saran Das was a politician, diplomat and an IPS officer. He served in top positions at Air India and the Airport Authority of India. His grandson Vir Das went to 'The Lawrence School in Sonawar', where the annual fees are over ₹10 lakhs (as of 2026). This comedian went to the United States for his bachelor's degree in the 2000s. Of course, he had 'very little' when he came to Mumbai. Vir Das once did a comedy special about '2 Indias.' I come from the other India. My grandfather fled East Pakistan to escape religious persecution during Partition and lived as a refugee in India. After losing centuries of generational wealth overnight, my family worked tremendously hard to go from a refugee rehabilitation camp to having our own house. The upbringing I received was starkly different from my grandfather's lived reality. I was privileged to study at an English-medium convent school, pursue higher education at DU without taking an educational loan or worry about living costs in Delhi. This is a privilege which is still not available to millions of young men and women in this country. I understand this perspective and so have never claimed to have 'very little' of anything. Do you think a socially aware comedian like Vir Das doesn't understand this? He does and still tells you sob stories of his 'humble beginning' at Bandra studio apartment. But he isn't the first one. I have seen one of my favourite YouTubers, Ranveer Allahbadia (who went to Dhirubhai Ambani school), talk deeply about his 'struggles'. We have all watched the infamous interview of Ananya Pandey deliberating about her 'struggles' in the film industry. I know some people would now tell me that everyone has their own set of challenges, despite a privileged background. And I totally agree with it. But the upfront disclosure of privilege is important. In the absence of that, you are trying to convince the masses that you are one of them. You are not.

India attracts only ~9 million foreign tourists a year which is roughly the same number as annual visitors to the Louvre alone. Vietnam, a far smaller country, attracted more than double this number last year. Why does a country of our scale and tourism potential remain such an underperformer on the global tourism dashboard?
