The thread perfectly sums up the structural dysfunction in India's hotel and hospitality sector. I found it highly unintuitive that the hotel rates in India are similar or more to locations with higher cost of living. India with surplus labour should be competitive in high service oriented industry. But this shows why we are not.

Why’s he doing all this, you might wonder. The deep state’s assets work full time in ensuring deterioration of relations between India and its neighbors. Especially where the welfare is pretty one sided and dependency is high. They’ll act arrogant. We respond with strength. Decisions that will undo centuries of relationships will be undone. Hate amongst common people for each other. Trade and commerce kaput. And then the DS assets sweep in with support and build from it. A very complicated situation for Indian to handle at this point, given Nepal PM’s regular diktats focused on ruining Indo-Nepal relations.

“India will do what India thinks is best for India.” — Runjhun Sharma, head of news at RT India. My guest highlights how India ignored years of US pressure over discounted Russian oil purchases... Only for Washington to later quietly allow the same imports after the Iran war. “We’ve been buying Russian oil all along.” Full interview: Sanchez Effect.

Curbs On Ministers' Travel & Big Banquets, Online Seminars: In Modi Govt, Austerity Begins At Home The Centre is preparing to impose austerity and fuel-conservation measures on itself first curbing non-essential travel by ministers and bureaucrats, pushing virtual meetings, encouraging public transport use, and expanding work-from-home arrangements. Government sources said non-essential domestic and foreign travel by ministers and senior officials could soon be stopped or sharply curtailed. Seminars and conferences are likely to shift online through video conferencing platforms wherever possible. Officials working in the new Kartavya Bhawan complex may also be encouraged to use the Metro and other forms of public transport, given the connectivity available in the central administrative district. Sources added that departments are also examining wider use of work-from-home and hybrid arrangements to reduce commuting and fuel use. Large government banquets and events that involve extensive travel and heavy cooking gas consumption may also be scaled down. news18.com/india/curbs-on…

Another controversy. Same pattern. And the truth is already riling up @YashicaDutt. Claims of “casteism” over Hindu temple murti access are back in the spotlight, this time driven by @YashicaDutt and amplified by @AudreyTruschke. But is this about caste… or about cultural misunderstanding being repackaged as activism? In this episode of HAF Reacts, Samir Kalra, Mat McDermott, Raj Rao, and Suhag Shukla dismantle the narrative and critique the motivations behind these allegations, highlighting cultural misunderstandings and the unique challenges faced by the Hindu community in America.  Tune in now 👉 f.mtr.cool/xpfjfesast

#TheBuckStopsHere with @PadmajaJoshi Responding to Udhayanidhi Stalin's controversial remark, vedic scholar & author Dushyant Sridhar (@dushyanthsridar) quotes Dravidian ideology K Veeramani who stated that Sanatan Dharma is synonymous with Hinduism. Listen in.

Padmaja Joshi opened her show all guns blazing. She asked Hareesh Mohamed Ibrahim, who was supporting DMK, from where he got the view that “Sanatan dharma is equal to caste hierarchy”. The guy fumbled and stumbled and finally when he realised he was cornered, started to fling his victim card around! Then he started accusing her of interrupting him when he spoke and called it Brahmanical patriarchy!

India’s Energy Minister Hardeep Singh Puri calls out Reuters report as a "false narrative by Western interests" "India has NEVER bought Russian LNG," he clarified while rejecting claims that India declined Russian LNG due to sanctions fears. Another reminder that selective framing and assumptions often replace facts when Western media reports on India’s energy policy. 🇮🇳

With fertilizer, this planet feeds 8.5 billion people. Without it, we can feed around 2 billion. We have just disrupted 30% of global fertilizer supply through the Strait of Hormuz. And people are still talking about this as if it is an oil story. It is not an oil story. It is a food story. And the numbers do not care about politics.

Trump should be sent to the gallows for the hardship he has brought for the world with his ego-fuelled Iran war trip. Countries in Asia that rely on fuel and fertiliser imports are under a massive crisis. What's even more infuriating is that the discourse around the war is stuck on whether Americans are going to feel the pinch of paying a dollar more for their gas. India has managed well so far, but look at the others in our periphery. Some are struggling to keep the lights on. There has to be a reckoning.

PM Modi’s austerity message is a strategic call to arms for Indian industry. Corporate India must lead by: → Slashing non-essential imports. → Double down on domestic manufacturing. → Invest heavily in energy security & renewables. It's time to convert global headwinds into India’s tailwind. Corporate India, the nation is watching. It's time to step up and deliver. @rajivmemani @shashwatgoenka

Without any proof, she is peddling fake news and tagging all anti India groups backed by Pakistanis...lol 😂 exposed herself

The trajectory of @YashicaDutt’s reporting: 1) Claims BAPS prevents Dalits from entering, maligning Hindus in America. The article is then edited to be more factual. 2) Promotes NY’s caste-discrimination bill by claiming people are being turned away from “places of worship.” 3) The actual worship-space evidence in the Prism piece? Sikh gurdwaras. Meanwhile, the article’s political framing heavily focuses on “Hindu right” opposition 🤦

Fuel prices must be revised. No one likes to pay more for fuel. But unless GOI wants to bankrupt itself or destroy oil companies, fuel prices have to be raised, even if in phases. The govt cushioned the people as long as it could. To persist with absorbing the higher costs will be counterproductive.

The real duplicity here is not that Pakistan backstabbed US. It was obvious they would do such a thing given their track record. Duplicity part of Pakistan’s nature. The real duplicity here is how Trump backstabbed allies like Israel and UAE to pick Pakistan has the mediator. Picking Pakistan as the mediator was like a slap on the face of Israel and UAE.

Absofuckinglutely 💯

321 BJP members were murdered by the Regime of Fear headed by then CM Mamata Banerjee who was also Home Minister of Bengal. 321 lives lost; 321 families destroyed; women widowed; children orphaned — as CM-HM she kept quiet, signalling approval. Countless women were r@ped by Mamata Banerjee’s Brown Shirts; women were publicly flogged — as CM-HM she kept quiet, indicating endorsement. In any half decent country Mamata Banerjee would be tried for crimes against humanity. No reason why we should be different. She must be held accountable for each of these hideous crimes. Her hands are drenched in the blood of her Brown Shirts’ victims. She must not get away with impunity. She must not be given a pass. #NoMercyForTMC

1500 GW of clean energy by 2030. That is what Amitabh Kant just proposed at the CII Summit. Let that number sink in. India's current target is 500 GW by 2030. Kant wants to triple it. India's total installed power capacity today is around 460 GW — thermal, solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, everything combined. He is proposing clean energy alone should be 3x our entire current grid. Here is why this is not as insane as it sounds. India added 26 GW of solar capacity in FY25. That is one Germany's worth of solar in a single year. Rooftop solar costs fell below Rs 3 per unit. Utility scale is touching Rs 2.50. At these economics, solar is not a climate choice — it is a cost choice. Every DISCOM CFO knows this. The bottleneck is not generation. It is transmission. India's inter-state transmission capacity is about 112 GW. The grid was designed for coal plants near pithead. Now solar is in Rajasthan, wind is in Tamil Nadu, and demand is in Maharashtra and UP. Moving 1500 GW of intermittent power across that grid requires a complete rewiring. India's oil import bill hit Rs 14 lakh crore in FY25. At 1500 GW renewable, that bill drops by 60-70%. Kant is not proposing a green dream. He is proposing fiscal survival.

This is how Global Media whitewashes everything where they intentionally omit major critical details and try to portray a narrative convenient to their masters. - Cites labour rights activist from a trade union which has links with Communist Party of India (Marxist) - Cites Noida worker protests, but doesn't mentions that it was not organic rather manufactured.

Those Bongs virtue-signalling on Garga's arrest. You should have been vocal when Prof Ambikesh Mahapatra of Jadavpur University was arrested for forwarding an email that had a cartoon satirizing Mamata Banerjee. You should have raised your voice when Priyanka Sharma, a BJP worker, was arrested and slapped with non-bailable charges for sharing a meme of the then CM. Where were you when Roddur Roy, Tuhun Mondal, Sharmistha Panoli were arrested for their social media posts? Please spare us the raging hypocrisy. Learn to accept that subalterns also have a voice, and they have spoken.
