The "slavery" framing is lazy. Delhi's minimum wage for unskilled labor is around Rs 18,000 a month, which works out to roughly Rs 70 per hour over an 8-hour day. Carrymen is paying 2x that for ad-hoc gig work. Porters have existed at Indian Railways forever. Caddies at golf clubs. Bellhops at hotels. Coolies at every mandi in the country. The only thing new here is a brand that takes ownership of experience and hourly pricing instead of a tip economy. What's actually happening is informal labor moving onto a platform. That means ratings, dispute resolution, predictable demand, and eventually PF/ESI coverage. Organizing the supply side has compounding benefits. Urban Company partners can now show platform income to qualify for personal loans. Rapido and Swiggy riders get accident cover and access to phone and two-wheeler EMIs. India's informal sector is around 80% of total employment. Every platform that drags a slice of that into the formal economy widens the tax base, raises measured productivity, and shifts margin from the contractor or household back to the worker. Slavery means coercion, no exit, no wages. India has actual bonded labor in brick kilns and agricultural debt traps. Applying the word to a consensual gig porter app trivializes the people who are genuinely trapped. If you're uncomfortable with someone being paid Rs 149 to carry your shopping bags, the discomfort is yours to sit with. The work was always being done. It was just being done by domestic help paid in cash with no rights.

The depressing thing about the cleanliness standards of our country is you won’t even find clean toilets where the entry is paid, leave alone the free ones.

The ITBP achieved what the army could not. Well done, ITBP. The Cockroach Janta Party is not the real threat; this is. The mistreatment of patriots exposes the true danger. Ladies and gentlemen, as I have stated before, the legislative, executive, judiciary, and press have become entirely corrupt. Their power is their right. An ITBP jawan’s mother had her hand amputated in a private nursing home due to medical negligence. The police and the CMO, who are on the payrolls of such nursing homes, did nothing. The jawans and officers went to seek justice for their comrade. I am immensely proud of them. I have served alongside the ITBP and can attest they are equal to the army in training, discipline, dedication, and resilience in the harshest environments. I hope the army also stands with their officers and jawans in similar way.And civil administration learn a lesson—please do not provoke the voiceless.

"Agniveer once out...can they be Mercenaries for hire posing threat in their States?"🤦 Is that a Question to a Man who created numerous Dhurandhars on Foreign Soil? He'll allow Mercenaries to grow on home soil to fight against Bharatiya State?😂 Just listen to NSA Ajit Doval Sir's emphasis on 'INTERNAL SECURITY' to understand how Agniveers are biggest assets to 'tackle' '0.5 Front' in Bharat!

A young man, sporting a janeu, was having beer at around 5:38 am in the morning in the Ganga in Varanasi. He was later confronted by men. "You are destroying the religion. Modi ji is engaged in awakening Dharma, while you guys are busy destroying it."

Outcomes that will add momentum to the India-Cyprus friendship!
