I got so, so much to say about this man. This is going to be long, so buckle up.
There is a mental block in Indians that stems from the British rule. Someone who sits in a cabin, surrounded by papers and constantly looking busy has historically been associated with power, intelligence, and importance. During the colonial era, this perception made perfect sense.
The people occupying those offices were not merely employees - they were extensions of the administrative machinery that governed the country. The clerk, the officer, the babu, the man behind the desk with stamps, files, and authority, represented access to power itself. Entire lives could be altered based on what happened inside those rooms. Naturally, generations grew up internalizing the idea that proximity to paperwork and administration equated to status.
The British left decades ago, but cultural conditioning does not disappear with a flag change. The structure survives long after the rulers are gone. Even today, Indians subconsciously associate office environments with success and dignity in a way they rarely do with industrial or technical labor.
A BPO employee wearing a formal shirt, sitting in an air-conditioned office and speaking English into a headset often commands more social respect than a CNC machinist capable of manufacturing components with tolerances tighter than a human hair. One is perceived as “corporate,” the other as “factory labor,” despite the latter possessing an extraordinarily specialized and economically valuable skillset.
And that disconnect says something deeply uncomfortable about how we value work.
A skilled machinist can take a raw block of metal and convert it into high-precision components that may end up in automobiles, aircraft, industrial robots, medical devices, or defense systems. That requires mathematical understanding, spatial reasoning, knowledge of materials, tooling strategy, machine behaviour, thermal expansion, tolerance stack-ups, feeds, speeds, vibration control, and process discipline. Mistakes are expensive.
Precision is unforgiving. The work has tangible consequences in the real world. Yet socially, this individual is often viewed as somehow “below” someone doing process documentation for a foreign client in an outsourcing firm.
India developed an economy where appearing professional became more important than producing something real. Entire generations were taught that escaping physical or industrial work was the ultimate marker of upward mobility. Parents wanted their children in offices because offices symbolized safety, cleanliness, English-speaking environments, and social elevation.
Factories, workshops, shop floors, and machine environments became associated with struggle rather than expertise. The tragedy is that this mindset emerged precisely in a country that desperately needed strong manufacturing capability to become economically self-sufficient.
You can see the consequences everywhere. We celebrate startup founders making apps that optimize food delivery by 3%, but rarely admire the people who understand tooling, fabrication, embedded systems, production engineering, process automation, or manufacturing reliability. We romanticize “corporate culture” while ignoring the fact that nations become powerful through industrial competence, not PowerPoint presentations.
A society that cannot respect the people capable of building and maintaining physical systems eventually becomes dependent on those who can.
The irony is almost absurd. The CNC machinist, the welder, the industrial technician, the maintenance engineer, the assembly line specialist - these are the people who convert engineering from theory into reality.
Without them, designs remain drawings and simulations remain fantasies. They are the interface between ideas and existence itself. Yet because their expertise exists on a shop floor instead of inside a glass office cabin, society often treats them as lesser.
And honestly, it makes me sick to witness.

India doesn't have a manufacturing problem. India has a respect problem. We respect the guy who cracked CAT more than the guy who can build an engine from scratch. And that concludes the whole story.

@vinayak_ssh @jcrajan00 You can procure heavy nd sour crudes, those which no one purchases at very low prices.. many Indian refineries, primarily Jamnagar can process these unwanted complex crudes..
English

@jcrajan00 How does refining capabilities actually control price rise? Would really appreciate it if you could elaborate this further.
English

India kept fuel prices frozen for 14 months straight. Petrol, diesel, LPG — not a single revision despite crude whipsawing between $65 and $95.
Most countries cannot do this without blowing up their fiscal. India pulled it off because of one thing nobody talks about: refining capacity.
We are now the world's fourth-largest refiner. 254 MTPA capacity. Our refineries process crude 15-20% cheaper than global benchmarks because of scale and complexity. Reliance's Jamnagar alone does 1.4 million barrels a day — more than most OPEC countries produce.
In the 2008 oil shock, India had to issue Rs 1.4 lakh crore in oil bonds because we could not absorb the price spike. In 2026, with a bigger crisis in West Asia, we absorbed it without bonds, without subsidies blowing up, and without passing the cost to consumers.
The difference is 18 years of refining investment. We doubled capacity, upgraded to complex refineries that handle heavier crude, and diversified sourcing away from the Gulf.
Refining is not glamorous. Nobody tweets about it. But it is the reason your petrol bill did not go up this year.

Shivaji remained irrelevant to Bengal’s history. However, here is a description of the carnage that his grandson Shahu and the Maratha hordes unleashed on the people of Bengal:
1) Vaneshwar Vidyalankar (1700-88) states:
"Shahu Raja's troops [i.e., Marathas] are devoid of pity, slayers of pregnant women and infants and of Brahmins and the poor, fierce of spirit, expert in robbing everyone of property, and committing every kind of sinful act."
2) Gangaram Dev Chowdhury (contemporary):
"The Pandits ran away with their books, the sonar benias [goldsmiths] with their weights and measures, the gandhavaniks [perfume and spice merchants] and the kansarıs [metalworkers] after closing their shops, the blacksmiths and the potters with their implements, the fishermen with their nets and ropes, and the sankhavaniks (counch sellers) with their own articles. The kayasthas and the vaidyas (the scholarly classes) followed suit. The gentle ladies, who had never walked publicly, went out with their bag and baggage on their heads The Ksetris (Kshatriyas) and the Rajputs fled, leaving their swords behind, the kavartas and the agriculturists fled, leaving behind their ploughs and also the paddy seeds on the backs of their oxen.
The Shaikhs, the Sayyids, the Mughals and the Pathans ran out of their villages, and pregnant women, who could not walk long, gave birth to children on the way.
The poor people ran away with their humble clothes, the old walked out with their sticks, and the chinars and the dhanuks went out with their goats Suddenly the bargıs surrounded these runaways in the field, and plundered their gold and silver They cut off the hands of some, the noses and ears of some others, and killed many They even ravished beautiful women, entered the villages, and set fire to the houses Again and again they demanded money from the people, and when this was refused, they poured water into the noses of some, drowned some others in tanks, and put many to instant death "
3) John Zephaniah Holwell (1711-98):
"They committed the most horrid devastation and cruelties, fed their horses and cattle with mulberry plantations [sic] and thereby irreparably injured the silk manufacture. Many of the inhibitants, weavers and husbandmen fled. The arangs were in a great degree deserted and the lands untilled. The manufacture of the arang received so injurious a blow in this period that they have ever since lost their original purity and estimation, and, probably, will never recover them again. Every evil attending destructive war was felt by this unhappy country in the most eminent degree a scarcity of grain in all parts, the wages of labour greatly enhanced, trade, foreign and inland, labouring under every disadvantage and oppression."
4) Munshi Salimullah (contemporary):
"All the rich and respectable people abandoned their homes and migrated east of the Ganges in order to save the honour of their women."
5) Jan Kersseboom (contemporary observant):
"During the period of Maratha invasions close to 400,000 people were killed in Bengal and Bihar and among these were many merchants, weavers, silk dealers, and other useful inhabitants." (#reported_speech)

@TPadomay79517 @Rustum_0 Why do u consider a Pedophile to be a great man? Why do u ask others to follow him? I don't ask u to follow my religion? So whether my religion is good or bad doesn't matter. I don't give deen ka dawat.

@TPadomay79517 @Rustum_0 So u admit, Islam is just copy of other religions. Hindus are pedophiles, so the prophet is ok to be a pedohile.

@SBasu46106 @Rustum_0 Again? Ashia wasn't 9 for God sake, she didn't mean "9" biological age but cultural, royal elite Arabs used have custom of counting age after puberty instead of birth, in the context, 9 didn't mean 9 biologically, she was 19 biologically speaking and her her sis Asma older by 10

@drshamamohd A quick question? What made you take such a big u turn and praise Dhurandar now when u and your party kept opposing it before elections?

It did not show Muslims in bad light but Pakistanis in bad light ! Shame on you for confusing the two. People like you spoil the name of Muslims in India. You are most welcome to leave India & take the citizenship of Pakistan

I know Dhurandhar part 1 was released last year but I only got time to watch it yesterday & day before ( had to split into two days due to its length ).
I must say - excellent direction , fantastic script & very good acting by Ranveer Singh ! I loved the way Aditya connected old hindi songs with certain scenes . Hats of to @AdityaDharFilms

@ShashiTharoor The other #keralastory that u seem to hv missed is that BJP is the 3rd ranked in vote share with 11.4% .. I hope u know what trajectory BJP takes once it reaches double digits voteshare right? Learn the game, master the game, perfect the game then change the game!!😄

One #KeralaStory from the recent election results that communalists should note: a Muslim majority constituency, Thavanur, elected a Christian, VS Joy; a Hindu majority constituency, Kalamassery, elected a Muslim. VE Abdul Gafoor; and a Christian majority constituency, Kochi, elected a Muslim, Muhammed Shiyas. Despite some influence from the national trends in favour of identity politics, Kerala remains a model of communal harmony, a state where people see human beings first and caste or religion later

@Royalsinghz3 We cannot forget East Bengal.. the name West Bengal keeps reminding us of the painful history! It should stay that way
English

West Bengal is called WEST Bengal, because there used to be an EAST BENGAL aka PAKISTAN
Calling it West Bengal is like keeping your ex's last name decades after the breakup (Partition)
Remove this colonial-partition name WEST from WB, name it Bengal. Formalizing the name as Bengal serves to move past colonial-era partitions and recognize the region's singular identity.
