@123AMARJEET @MinhazMerchant @IndianExpress @arvindsubraman Brilliantly put! 🫡

@arvindsubraman The article- "Needed in Delhi: A Change of personnel, not just policy reform"- less like a serious economic assessment and more like an ideologically conditioned lament disguised as analysis. It conveniently ignores the fact that nearly every major economy in the world has faced currency pressure, inflationary shocks, supply-chain disruptions, energy insecurity, and capital volatility in the aftermath of Covid, the Russia-Ukraine war, Red Sea disruptions, and West Asian instability. To portray India’s challenges in isolation while erasing the global macroeconomic context is intellectually dishonest. Under the present government, India has become the world’s fastest-growing major economy, built record infrastructure, expanded manufacturing capacity, digitized governance at scale, strengthened tax collection, improved financial inclusion, and emerged as a credible geopolitical power capable of balancing Washington, Moscow, the Gulf, and the Indo-Pacific simultaneously. Foreign investors do not continue pouring billions into a collapsing economy governed by “fear” and “drift.” What truly unsettles sections of the old intellectual establishment is not economic decline, but the erosion of their monopoly over policy narratives. The article’s repeated insinuations about “bad instincts,” “corporate favoritism,” and “weaponization” rely more on ideological suggestion than empirical rigor. Every strong state uses regulatory and fiscal instruments to pursue strategic national priorities; selectively framing this as authoritarianism only when a nationalist government does so exposes the political bias underneath the economic vocabulary. Most revealing is the article’s nostalgia for unelected technocratic saviors and externally validated economic managers. India is not facing a crisis of leadership; it is facing a crisis of elite acceptance. The old policy class is uncomfortable with a government that derives legitimacy from mass politics rather than drawing-room consensus. The rupee’s fluctuations can be debated, growth models can be critiqued, and investment concerns can certainly be discussed but reducing a complex global economic environment into a morality play against one government is neither sophisticated analysis nor honest scholarship. It is partisan pessimism masquerading as intellectual depth.

The standard of op-ed journalism at @IndianExpress continues to fall.

@neoavatara Why would you say that?

All that shows is you are an idiot.

@amitabhmattoo Everything else can be picked up on a need to know basis from the internet and AI tools.

@amitabhmattoo The only liberal arts subjects worth learning at school/university are Math and Designing Computer Programs. Once you do that you have the ability to both analyze and synthesize. The two skills that matter in any domain.

@Vexxter4sure 💯

One thing I've noticed is that non STEM intellectuals base their entire arguments off of appeal to higher authority rather than the actual substance, Imagine if an AI researcher went to a conference and said my work can't be wrong because I'm mentored by Hinton and Yan le Cun

@Aunindyo2023 @GhoshSamyak Means a fucking zilch! With this attitude you wouldn’t have got that phd! A classic idiotic bong who thinks no end of his worthless self!

@GhoshSamyak I have an I-20 for a PhD issued from the place you did your PhD from, that I didnt' take. Again, don't teach me.

The year is 2026 and we are name dropping! It gets worse as you read. I refuse to tell this person anything about my academic journey. The older I grow, I realise it is imp for me to remember that I grew up in a border town & my parents or their friends were not academics.

@shivambhagat33 You watch that joker!

I still don’t understand the point of an Arnab Goswami Debate. He asks you a question, the second you open your mouth he starts rudely and arrogantly interjecting you at literally EVERY word you say. Don’t get it. In the end - the viewer has just heard his annoying snapping and not a word from the panelist. It’s the most nonsensical debate show of all time and he thinks no end of himself. Who the hell is he exactly ? Perplexing. @republic

@KantInEastt @_YogendraYadav fyi

The youth in Bengaluru absolutely hates CJP or Cockroach Janta Party

@sreemoytalukdar When was the last time the guy actually stuck to economics and analysis. Everything he says harks back to so called communal divide and it’s supposedly corrosive effect on investment climate.

I'm afraid this is just political rhetoric. He is entitled to it, of course, but one expects better from a man of letters.

@viprabuddhi @_YogendraYadav see this you rascal!

Kanglus are now openly admitting to be illegals 🇧🇩 > First guy says he is returning because the govt changed, says he came 7-8 years ago > Second guy says he was living in Howrah > Third guy says he is returning because the govt won't allow them to stay

@madversity Did not overestimate yourself. Yiu are a journalist! 🤣🤣

Social media chatter: Those who get logic right don't get the facts right. Those who get the facts right don't get the concepts right. But since a majority of folks fall in one of these two categories, their collective opinion or noise overpowers logic and facts combined. Hence logic and facts do not matter much. They fall for an appeal to casual narratives that create Angels and Demons. The problem with common people is not their commonness. It is their ordinariness. Aam Aadmi mei kuch khaas nahi hai. Kya karen?

@BDUTT @yashoazad @sushantsareen @prsundarji All of your panelists are privileged people in one way of the other. You shouid have had a common person on your panel to see how they feel about this “loot” over generations.

@Aunindyo2023 Ouch! 🤣

Never, ever, claimed to be a journalist. I was always just a mere news professional. Journalists are much higher than me. You, however, are a dalaal.

@Vidyut Pray, how does it work?

The lunatics running the country have zero clue on how the planet works.

@kansaratva It just shows how these low IQ journalists are dumbing down society.

If this is well-argued then I am curious how bad his ill-argued statements will be.

@vikramsalvekar @sushantsareen Abd this fatso is considered as some of an intellectual who holds forth on everything under the sun. Fucking leech!

@sushantsareen Calling this “communism” is an oxymoron.Whats more socialist/elitist than a select few occupying prime public land for decades on subsidised terms,protected by closed networks and legacy privilege? That resembles old feudal-bureaucratic club culture than free-market meritocracy

Bolshevism is back! Communism is deeply ingrained in India. It is divided between Godless commies, agnostic commies, and religious commies. But communism with traces of Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Khmer Rouge type purges is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient

@sushantsareen Pay market rates and enjoy the club dude! Why are you leeching off the taxpayer.

He warned that a major economic crisis could hit common people and blamed the BJP-RSS leadership for damaging institutions and the Constitution.

@rameshmenon128 It shouid. What is the goddammed reason a few privileged families continue to enjoy these subsidies at the tax payers cost for generations in perpetuity!!

My worry is that there are so very many similar clubs across the length and breath of our country all on long term leased govt land. Will this become a template

@GabbbarSingh Not privilege. It’s a huge subsidy given for not just their lifetimes but also passed down as an inheritance!!

Looking at Right leaning elites defending Delhi Gymkhana is so funny. It’s marked as a threat to the PM residence. Yet these guys are indulging in verbal gymnastics to defend the club. The moment one has to give up privilege, All ideology goes down the drain.
