Elites wanting to hang out with elites is totally fine. Class segregation is real; however immoral it may sound, people naturally prefer spaces where they share similar lifestyles, culture, and interests. It is a tribal instinct shaped by evolution. The middle class does the same thing, preferring localities with people of similar backgrounds and sending their children to schools attended by families from the same social class. And that is perfectly normal. So the issue is not elites socializing only with elites, but doing it on prime government land, that too at negligible cost. If members can afford a ₹30 lakh membership fee, they can certainly buy private property and run their Gymkhana elsewhere. No one is stopping them. The government only wants the land back, not the club itself.

The “Elites” are exposing themselves What a time to be alive to see their entitlement being taken away.

US President Donald Trump: “I love India… I just want to say hello to everybody. I love the Prime Minister. PM Modi is great; he is my friend…” Further praising India, he added, “We have never been closer to India, and India can count on me and our country 100 per cent. If they need any help, they know where to call. They call right here. We are doing well. We are setting records.”

You will appreciate what life has to offer much better if you ever made a 36+ hr journey in 2nd class sleeper across India in peak summers. If by any chance you fall asleep, the seat sticks to your skin. You are forever short of water, the window is like a 21 inch hair dryer. You wish to splash your face with water for some respite, the water in the sink is boiling. The only respite is the guys moving around with buckets with icy water, with an assortment of cold drink bottle submerged in it, sold at the rate of an arm & a leg. You settle for a chilled Frooti. It tastes so godly that you write about it on Twitter 20 years later :)

7 Aug, 2025. US was pressing for a trade deal on farming & dairy. PM Modi came out & said: "India will never Compromise on the interests of our farmers, & dairy sector. ~ I KNOW I’LL HAVE TO PAY A PRICE, but I’m ready." Today, Jaishankar did the same💥

You may have my reservations with Rajdeep, but here, having decades of experience in the political journalism, he is like "chup ho jaa behen, mat bol itna"; 😄

SOURCES: "CROSS BORDER TERROR FROM PAK WAS DISCUSSED." U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio meets NSA Ajit Doval. Wonder who was under more pressure to keep a straight face.

Most of these guys must have been in their father’s imagination when Sachin played the Desert storm innings in Sharjah. He still commands such craze :)
