@kushal_mehra Same trend visible in Hyderabad too. Except for some builders like My-Home constructions, who exclusively use Sanskrit / Indian names (Tridasa, Bhooja, Abhra, Sayuk Etc.,).

Genuine question for folks that track real estate trends. I've been looking for an apartment for myself across Mumbai South and Central after living in one spot for 30+ years. As I check different projects out I notice a change. All real estate projects have stopped using Indian names for their gated communities and buildings. They use absurd western names that even their sales representatives find hard to pronounce. Yeh kaunse naye angrez hai bhai? Desi naam mein kya problem hai? If some building is called Samruddhi and not "Nautilus" uski quality low ho jaati hai kya?

I don't understand why cinema industry take themselves very seriously, the total size of the industry is may be 2000cr, it's not even 1 bill of one class 1 contractor in this country - #RaviBabu

@aravind I hope the Supreme Court doesn't find this offensive again and ask to stop circulation of textbooks.

Very true. Good news. At last. After 75 years. The Facts.

@techstarsrk How else do you think govts will be able to fund schemes, giving freebies to families breeding 5..10..15 kids each?

I bought a fridge that costs 38K and I paid around 7K in GST. Thats whopping 18% in taxes When I posted about 18% GST on AC, some fools called AC as a LUXURY item that’s why 18% GST is Justified. Now tell me, in what world a Refrigerator is Luxury?? Keep getting Looted every1.

@Tushar15 BJP itself wouldn't have such high expectations.

What if BJP wins West Bengal and Assam, NDA wins Tamil Nadu, and the Left retains Kerala?

@Tushar15 @mujifren Haryana and Telangana are two states where BJP has so much potential, but often fail to capitalize. They turned the tide on Haryana in 2024.. should see if they can do anything in Telangana Assembly polls. I see little to no signs of improvement.

@mujifren Add Haryana

Bengal is not it People don't realise there are so many states with BJP govt now, where they had no existence just 10 years back Assam (2011) BJP Seats - 5 Odisha (2014) BJP Seats - 6 Odisha (2019) BJP Seats - 23 Maharashtra (2009) BJP Seats - 44 West Bengal (2011) - 0 Seats West Bengal (2016) - 4 seats Uttar Pradesh (2012) - 47 seats Rahul Gandhi had even mocked BJP in 2012 as irrelevant player in UP politics who were doing "Ram ki Dalali" by bringing up Ram Mandir issue

@ksinamdar How is calling fellow citizen as "milord" scientific temper?

How is wearing a coat and a tie in Mumbai ‘scientific temper’?

When I visited Pashupatinath Temple in Nepal, I was surprised to learn that all the priests were kannadigas! In the heart of Kathmandu, inside one of Shaivism’s most sacred sanctums, the priests were speaking Kannada. Not occasionally, but fluently, naturally, as if the western coast of Karnataka had quietly extended itself into the Himalayas. I got really curious, and decided to strike up a conversation with one of the priests, and I learnt that the main priest is from Udupi, and that this was no anomaly. For centuries, the temple has institutionalised the appointment of priests from coastal Karnataka, especially Udupi, Sirsi, and Bhatkal. This tradition was formalised under the Malla Dynasty, rooted in a strikingly sophisticated principle. Nepali custom mandates that, upon the death of a king, local priests enter a year-long mourning period during which they refrain from performing rituals. Yet the worship of Shiva, particularly at Pashupatinath, cannot be interrupted. The solution was not improvisation, but design: import priests from a distant civilizational zone, beyond the reach of local ritual obligations and insulated from Kathmandu’s internal political currents. This ensured not only ritual continuity, but institutional neutrality. The sanctum was preserved from factional influence, while remaining seamlessly embedded within the broader Hindu world. And this relationship was not unilateral. It formed part of a reciprocal sacred geography. The Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the most important shrines of Shiva in India, has historically maintained deep ritual and institutional ties with Nepal, including the participation and patronage of Nepali priests and the Nepali monarchy. This is what pre-modern unity actually looked like. Not rhetorical nationalism, not administrative centralisation, but a decentralised yet deeply integrated civilizational network, where distance did not fragment identity but reinforced interdependence. A Kannada-speaking priest in Kathmandu is not an anomaly. It is evidence.

@TheEconomist Mughals brought language. Yeah. before Mughals, all Hindus were just communicating in signs and actions right?

The Mughals brought language, food, architecture, music, art and syncretism to India. And they brought Narendra Modi’s party to power economist.com/asia/2026/04/1…

Holy crap! @aravind predicted this a few days ago!

This person has never seen Raidurg / Ameerpet metro station.

@guy1_nice @KreatelyMedia They aren't run by the deep state. They are.. the deep state. Many anti-national forces in academics are nursed, and given a home in TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences)

@KreatelyMedia Every TCS office (and every TATA office) must be investigated. They are being infiltrated and run by the deep state rot.

🚨TCS senior HR official arrested from Pune - She ignored 78 complaints of sexual harassment with SIT holding evidence of emails and chats 🔥🇵🇰🚩

@KartiPC By that logic, why even have 543 of them then? Develop a digital grievance redressal mechanism to handle local issues, and directly elect the PM. 🫡

An 850-member Parliament will be even more ineffective than the current 543-member House. MPs are legislators, not administrative executives. Simply adding more of them does not—and cannot—improve constituency administration, because MPs are not the administrative heads of their constituencies.

@Tushar15 @sardesairajdeep @AmitShah His logic is to just spread unease and chaos, and deepen the north-south fault lines.

@sardesairajdeep @AmitShah The absolute numbers in population have also widened since 1971. What is your logic, Rajdeep?

He still didn't share the revised / correct guidelines, because they apparently don't exist.

@PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc @DPIITGoI After all, a functional grievance system should build trust, and confidence but not frustration. Hoping for improvements in how such issues are handled going forward.

@PiyushGoyal @PiyushGoyalOffc @DPIITGoI This pattern is evident not just on one, but on multiple official portals of the government. Request to the concerned authorities: Kindly ensure that tickets are closed only after providing a clear response or resolution.

I recently raised a support ticket regarding a Start-up India registration. There was no movement on the application, so a ticket was raised to seek clarification. The outcome? The ticket was simply marked as “Closed.” No explanation. No resolution" @PiyushGoyalOffc @DPIITGoI
