@mr_tripathiii @Bhairaviyogi 50% as of now (including EWS) You can dismiss them off into history books once that number breaches below 40% They are still - the only & cheapest way to climb the social ladder for all capable general category students who cannot afford foreign education.

@aravindbachu @Bhairaviyogi But they are compromised in the form of caste based reservations

If IITs, IIMs, AIIMS and IISc are truly “world-class,” then why do so many politicians and top bureaucrats quietly send their own children abroad❓ Funny how the “best institutions in India” are always good enough for the public… but never good enough for their own families. 🙂.

@LifeMathMoney @Crypto_Cypher_ Have you ever thought of opening decently priced schools without all nonsensical bells & whistles, but strong values & education - Essentially for little boys. Given your steady income & connections - it's not impossible financially or politically.

@Crypto_Cypher_ Education in India is really cheap My school was a local one that used to charge ~1000 Rupees a month Nowadays the prices have gone up because it's become a business

Bro my family has 10+ ministers in power in 3 political parties, along with many IPS officers We even had a DGP in the family If someone wants to mess with the youngest memeber of our family, they will have more problems than a doctor or lawyer can hope to solve

@IndiaNewGen After the 8th pay commission they will suddenly discover that there are too many slabs and the majority will discover the 12L tax-free jumla and they'll immediately slash or widen them as per their new pay scales. It's a policy by the Babu's, for the Babu's.

Babus define tax laws considering jobs like govt. They take retirement age as 60 whereas people are being forced to retire at 40's in the private sector. There must be a private sector person(not elected by Dalits, pichdas etc) when they decide tax rates to protect our rights.

@dmuthuk Not even a single Dhandho? Wow, very surprising.

Moneycontrol reports that for the first time in a very long time, no Indian company is among the top 100 in the world.

@IndiaNewGen I would #AbolishIncomeTax, trim the govt. by 80%, raise corporate taxes to 30% and make a bring in a single GST Slab of 10%. It's as simple as that. That's exactly what a libertarian government would do to usher in a truly prosperous society.

If I were the PM, I would immediately slash income tax of 30% to 15% till 50L, move surcharge above 2cr, remove cesses. I would let my productive class to work hard & not worry about taxation. Until their burden is taken by the nation, they won't take the burden of the nation.

The #E20 fuel cover-up is clearly a full-blown scam. Check out this coordinated stonewalling from the Govt and OMCs: 1️⃣ Ministry of Petroleum sat on the RTI for 2 months, then shuffled it away. 2️⃣ ARAI claims the actual testing data is a "confidential" state secret. 3️⃣ HPCL & BPCL shut down the RTI, hilariously claiming that asking for a physical report is "seeking an opinion." 4️⃣ IOCL just replied by pointing me to the generic NITI Aayog roadmap already in the public domain—completely dodging the actual test reports. They are playing bureaucratic games because the truth is terrifying: SIAM's own official stance warns that putting E20 in incompatible vehicles isn't just about losing mileage - it is a massive safety risk. There are no hidden success reports. The Ministry lied in their press release, the OMCs are complicit, and millions of Indian motorists are being forced to drive ticking time bombs on a ghost policy @HindustanPetroleum @BPCLimited @IndianOilcl @PetroleumMin @siamindia @arai_india @HardeepSPuri

@HarshWTiwari1 @dmuthuk Are you referring to cockroaches?

@aravindbachu @dmuthuk Maybe you included pseudo docs

Nearly half of Doctors in Kerala earn less than Rs 50,000 a month. A significant number of Doctors don't even earn Rs 30,000 a month. I've shared a similar article last year about Doctors earnings in Tamil Nadu. It's like Kerala. Nothing provides reasonable certainty for well settled life. Everyday life is a struggle for many - I'm not only talking about poor but professionals as well. Because of income, many cannot be classified as poor. But they are really broke. Shamika Ravi's data on number of poor people is not worth discussing again. I've clearly explained last year how with the threshold of income she is keeping, there may not be any poor people at all. Many Indians are under poverty, provided you use practical amount of money required for even basic sustenance. It is unfortunate that most people have no way out to break this vicious cycle. Social mobility can longer be taken for granted say even if you are Doctor. Vast majority of people would come under one of the two categories- poor or broke. Financially meaningful life is limited only to 10% of our country's population.

@disputedhandle3 @IndiaNewGen only if the babu's felt the same too...

@IndiaNewGen first off all we are not employees of East India company or its subsidiaries to loot indian resources and take to London that "these people" are charging income tax

Standard deduction should be a percentage of the salary like 40% instead of 50k, 75k etc. It would help employees to get a tax free income to pay their kids education, EMI, medical, basic living cost. Considering each paisa as an income is a horrible idea.

@iamankitpande Do you know, Ambani needs to buy just 250 acres of prime land in Mumbai, build ~1,00,000 luxury flats and put them on rent and he might earn more than what he earns now - will he? Do you think any super-rich person earns his income via rents? It's only mediocre people like us.

Stop glorifying rental income as passive income. In today’s time, if you invest ₹80 lakhs into a flat in Mumbai and give that flat on rent, there is a high chance you will lose your mental peace. Same thing is happening with me right now. I have a flat in Mira Road which is on rent. Today the electricity office called me and said they may cut the meter because the tenant has not paid the electricity bill on time. The bill is around ₹7000. Then the tenant started arguing with me saying there is some problem in the meter and asking how the bill can be so high. I told him, you are using AC, induction, and multiple electric appliances daily, obviously the bill will come high. Then he again started saying, “We do not use that much electricity.” At one point, being a landlord starts feeling like a full time stress job instead of passive income. Sometimes I genuinely feel it is better to sell the flat and invest those ₹80 lakhs into SWP or index funds. At around 12 percent returns, you can take nearly ₹70k monthly for 30 years peacefully, and even after 30 years you may still have around ₹2.6 crore left, which is probably more than the future value of that flat itself. No tenant drama. No electricity arguments. No maintenance stress. No society headaches. People talk a lot about return on investment. Very few people talk about return on mental peace. Real estate owners, tell me honestly. Is rental income still worth the stress today?

@MamataOfficial Shut up.

From homes to hawker stalls, the poor are paying the price of political arrogance. Bengal does not believe in bulldozer politics. The land of Tagore and Netaji cannot be ruled through fear, force, and demolition drives against ordinary citizens. What we are witnessing today is an attack on the dignity of the people of Bengal- daily wage workers, street vendors, small shopkeepers, and struggling families who have built their lives brick by brick. The massive eviction drive around Howrah Station, the unrest and anger erupting on the streets of Tiljala and Park Circus, and the growing desperation among those suddenly stripped of shelter and livelihood expose a government more obsessed with optics than humanity. A government that demolishes first and listens later has forgotten the very spirit of Bengal. Real progress is measured by how a state treats its weakest citizens, not by how quickly it can erase them. Bulldozers cannot become the language of governance in a state built on culture, compassion, and resistance to oppression.

The single most underrated advice.

Doing that goes against the ego of the Babu's They won't do it even if the nation burns. Babu's ego > everything else.

@gurjota Woh stree hai

Forget 10cr. Forget 5cr. Forget 1cr. People are quitting corporate life with 5 lakh savings!

@Mrsinha It's called Stockholm Syndrome, not awareness.

Go to any petrol pump and ask common people if they’re upset over fuel price hikes... Most of them won’t just blame the govt. They’ll talk about global crises, wars, crude oil prices, taxes, and the larger economic situation. People today are far more aware and politically mature. That’s one of the biggest reasons Congress keeps losing elections. You can’t fool voters so easily anymore. People are willing to tolerate certain discomforts if they believe the govt’s intentions are right and the alternative is worse. India has truly come a long way, from bringing down govts over onion and salt prices to understanding and even justifying price hikes in a larger global context.

@narendramodi Kabhi Bannerghatta Main Road pe bhi aao... aesa hi samundar dikhta hai.

Sharing some more glimpses from the visit to the Afsluitdijk…

@venkat_fin9 91st in Corruption? How are we so low? I thought that's the only list we've had the ability to top consistently each year!

A summary of India in 2026: THE GOOD (built by citizens & founders): ✅ World's #1 real-time payments system ✅ 131 unicorns, 3rd globally ✅ Astronaut on the ISS ✅ ₹118B in startup capital raised THE BAD (delivered by politicians): ❌ 91st in corruption globally ❌ 44% youth unemployment (ages 20–24) ❌ 1.9% GDP on healthcare (missed own target) ❌ ₹1.7L crore spent on vote-buying freebies ❌ 400 million without health insurance ❌ 28.1% GDP in state debt The citizens are building India. The politicians are billing India. It's time we noticed the difference.

As per PM himself - 800 million Indians depend on free rations from Government - that's about 6 in 10 Indians. Maybe the PM needs to realise that the rest can only afford rations, not Gold.

She has the audacity to call: Taxpayers as Thieves Domestic Investors as Shock Absorbers 12LPA employees as HNIs 2X profits in Gold as Windfall Gains Depreciation of rupees as Dollar's fault Even god cannot save us from her...
