1/ Owing to high barriers to entry, India’s lodging and hotels industry has become a cartel that raises prices at will and fleeces customers. India’s luxury hotel average daily rate (ADR) in Mumbai and Delhi now rival those of New York and London. Absurdly enough, the financial press sometimes celebrates this as some triumph of Indian hospitality. It is nothing of the sort. High prices are the unmistakable stamp of a supply-constrained market in a low income country, which should actually have a very competitively priced and deep pool of lodging options. The hotel industry is a structural failure being hyped as a success.

Billionaire Michael Milken joked “if a US company replaces the US-born CEO with a CEO born in India, I buy the stock” But he reveals he hasn’t backtested the idea. So we did. In the last 15yrs, that would’ve 50x’d your money: 7.5x more $$ and >2x IRR vs S&P500: 30% vs 14%!

have had horrible experiences of working with ma econ guys who were totally unaware of "current account deficit" as a term, one even said "aaj kal ye sab nahi padhate" a machine operator in india today is more skilled than 90% of indian college grads with 50% less attitude

eventual goal is to have absolute institutional and psychological dominance over the left, so much so that even a mere thought of anti-development anti-civilizational activity should send jitters across the enemy's spine anything before that is just non-linear upward movement

I am sorry. People, including supporters, are severely underestimating the BJP. You can bookmark this tweet today itself: they will win 2029 as well due to geopolitics. Unprecedented 20 year rule over India of a non-Congress govt will be achieved by the end of that term.

Dirk's Caste Of Mind provides a deeper insight on the same reflecting how the anthropological need of the Bitisher's codified Caste System in India. Possibly, if caste was not codified through census, India would have just been a classist society

1/ Caste categorization in modern India follows a centuries-long historical process of enumeration. Caste was counted before 1901, but one of the first systematic efforts came under Herbert Hope Risley, whose ethnographic work began in the Bengal Presidency, including Chota Nagpur, now largely Jharkhand.

someone analyzed all 5000+ accepted papers at ICLR 2026, and it's a good signal who's pushing the research of AI: > China has surpassed the US with 43.7% of the papers > Europe's contribution is surprisingly small (5.3% including UK)
