@chasing_highs The land always belonged to Sikhs and always will. In fact, India stole Haryana and Himachal land from Punjab
Green Revolution was for Indians
Indira Gandhi deserved it
Indians steal from Punjab on an ongoing basis.

After partition, Punjabis got land FREE.
Then Nehru built dams for them.
Then Indira gave them Green Revolution.
They killed Indira.
Then Gujral waived off their loans.
They corner majority of MSP subsidies.
Punjab is the MOST मुफ्तखोर state in India.

@JustPunforfun All professions are open and exist to quench the demand. All professions endure abuse, this one is very evident.

Why blame her when there are thousands ready to pay that INR 290?
Had there been no demand, would prostitution have survived for so long?
Bhavesh Gujrati@Bhaveshlivelife
70 years of feminism and the most profitable occupation for women is still prostitution. Bollywood actress Neha Sharma: • Daughter of 3-time Congress MLA Ajeet Sharma • Father’s assets: ₹55 crore (declared) • Worked in 16 Bollywood films • Brand deals with 10+ companies • Earns lakhs per Instagram post • Sister is also a Bollywood actress • Family net worth: over ₹100 crore Yet she still sells exclusive content to fans at ₹290 per month subscription. Even with all that privilege and money, the oldest profession remains the easiest side hustle.

A Muslim from North or Deccan feel no cultural familiarity with fellow regional Hindus, not even in everyday matters such as food, manners, customs, or traditions.
Yet when among each other's localities or households, they feel instantly at home. There are hardly any two groups in the entire world that are as close to each other as the twin sister ethno-religious groups of Hindustani and Deccani Muslims.

Dissent vs Duty: Know the Line @abhishekaitc
Article 1 defines India as a “Union of States”—an indissoluble nation where no state can break away.
Every MP swears under the Third Schedule to uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India.
Strong criticism of the government is democratic and valid. But any rhetoric that undermines national unity or crosses into incitement against the constitutional order is not just politics—it raises serious constitutional questions.
An MP’s words carry weight. The mandate is to debate within the Constitution, not against it.
Disagree. Debate. But don’t dilute the idea of the Union of India.

Sources : A Muslim cricketer from Uttar Pradesh is reportedly having an affair with a Hindu female anchor (not a TV channel anchor, but one who anchors in a league).
A friend of the anchor said that the cricketer tells her, “By the time I return from practice, memorize the verses.” He also says that now she should not shake hands with any cricketer and should greet with “Namaste” instead.
The anchor has deleted all her bikini photos from Instagram. Preparations for another conversion are underway.
Whether this is forceful or voluntary, only the anchor can say, but what kind of love is this?

Confessions and realities
42M, 55LPA
I am a 42-year-old man with a senior job in IT. I have a house in Chennai, a supportive wife, and two children. On paper, everything about my life looks perfect. I have achieved all the things society says a man should achieve.
In my twenties, life felt different. I had friends to spend time with. We would hang out at Marina Beach and Besant Nagar beach, watch movies at Rohini, Udayam, and Kasi theatres, and ride around Mount Road on my RX100.
In my thirties, I had colleagues to talk with over tea breaks. We would discuss apartments, onsite trips, and share random stories about life and work.
But now, in my forties, life has turned into a quiet routine. My phone rarely rings for anything personal. Most calls are about office work, bank alerts, or someone from home asking me to pick up milk on the way back.
The loneliness of a man in his forties is unusual. I am not physically alone, but I often feel like a machine.
When I enter my home, I am simply “Appa.” I am the person who pays school fees, fixes the Wi-Fi, and handles repairs. My wife is busy with her work and the kids. My children are teenagers now, living in their own worlds and their own rooms. They love me, but they mostly see me as the person who provides comfort and stability. They no longer see me as an individual.
At the office, I am the senior person. I am expected to have all the answers. I cannot tell my team that I feel tired. I cannot tell my boss that I sometimes struggle to keep up with new technologies. I must appear confident and strong, even when I quietly worry about the future.
Sometimes I drive home slowly from work just to spend a few extra minutes in the car. I listen to songs from my college days.
For those fifteen minutes, I am not a manager or a father. I am simply myself again.
I realize that I have not had a real conversation about my feelings with anyone in years.
My old friends now exist mostly as names on WhatsApp. We send “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations” messages, but rarely talk. When we meet at weddings, our conversations revolve around our children’s grades or the cars we drive. We never talk about what we actually feel.
The hardest part is that I cannot even complain. If I tell my family that I feel lonely, they look confused and say, “But we are all here with you.”
They do not understand that a person can be surrounded by people and still feel like they are on a desert island.
Society teaches men that if they provide money and security, they have succeeded in life.
But no one teaches us how to deal with the silence that comes with it.
I have built a beautiful life for everyone around me, but sometimes it feels like there is no space left for me inside it.
And maybe… this is what life in your forties feels like.
English
I chose to stay in India.
Despite opportunities abroad. Despite thinking about leaving multiple times.
I am nothing but India-maxed.
But @svembu sir, with respect, India may be a garden for the top 1%. For the other 99%, the ground reality is brutal.
The basics are still broken:
> Citizens are dying under ugly hoardings, collapsing bridges, or rich kids.
> Our children are consuming poisoned medicine, water, and food.
> State governments throwing fiscal prudence out the window. Freebies are the new election model.
> Babus in bureaucracy and politicians functioning as gundas through mobocracy is where we are at.
> Progress at the local level is unbelievably hard due to abhorrent corruption.
> The middle class is getting squeezed beyond redemption. Paying taxes like a developed country and getting zilch in return.
> Founders are asked for bribes every step of the way. There were so many stories shared here in the past months.
You can't ask talent to come back to a system that will punish them for coming back.
We will have to fix the ground reality first for your emotional appeal to become a reality.
The talent will follow.

Open letter to Indians in America. -- Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat: Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way. Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned. You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict. Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect. Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself. As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal. Respectfully Sridhar Vembu

Bro, it’s your call but let me tell you something from real life. Back in 2015, I went through a transplant and was hospitalized for almost a year.
I needed blood platelets almost every week. And you know what? We never asked who was donating Muslims came, Hindus came, Christians came, even followers of Dera Ram Rahim.
At that time, religion didn’t matter… all that mattered was the blood and the will to help.
I just hope you never have to face a situation like that to understand it. Life is much bigger than these divisions, bro! 😃🙏🏻

@DealsDhamaka Cleaner inner cities like in US.

Dear Sridhar Sir,
I’m writing this from Chicago, and I have deep respect for you, but I also want to share a lived perspective from many NRIs who chose to stay abroad.
For most of them, it’s not just about earning more money, not any more. That’s a very small part of the story. The real reasons are the quality of everyday life and systems that work more consistently:
- lower day-to-day corruption
- less dependency on “connections” for basic services
- stronger safety nets during emergencies
- better civic discipline
- cleaner cities and better infrastructure
- roads without constant stress and unpredictability
These are not luxury factors, that is just daily living in very fundamental ways.
What is their incentive for them to return back ? How long will we just keep pushing the narrative of the homeland?
Many of them didn’t “leave India behind.” They simply built a life where the system around them allows more predictability and stability.
And to be honest, those of us who stayed back in India like you and I did so by choice too. We can choose to work on improving what’s broken here, instead of framing it as something that can be solved by asking people to return.
Both paths matter. Both contributions are valid.

@ShawnBinda People who left have a frozen idea of India. Recently, one of the aunts came to india, ate lunch for ₹100and said she feels grounded, as in she ate as regular indian eats.

@nileshtrivedi @svembu Let second order effects go to tel lene.
English
The trouble with @svembu's appeal to NRIs is that it continues to demand more sacrifices from Indians while demanding no change from India's governments. Resident Indians have more than enough talent in every domain but they are already choked. He makes no attempt to demand removal of existing bottlenecks. It's not TALENT that India is starved of, it is ACCOUNTABILITY.
Some reform ideas which I'd like to see implemented in India:
- (0) Improve nutrition and environmental safety. Safe air, water and food is the bare minimum expectation.
- (1) Encourage skin-in-the-game for political and administrative leaders (for eg: require an exit tax for them and their kids).
- (2) Radical transparency in govt systems. Anonymized files should be digital and public by default, unless marked confidential for valid reasons.
- (3) Increase actual Ease of Doing Business (eg: improve contract enforcement).
- (4) Discourage young talented people from wasting away their most precious years into civil services exam prep, or pseudo-scientific professions like degrees in AYUSH.
- (5) Do not allow the world to dump inferior hardware and software products on Indians. Insist on interoperability, technology transfer and repairability by third-parties.
- (6) Prepare the workforce for the future: For eg: Decrease the number of specializations by bundling subjects in Engg, achieving a better balance of employability and national interest.
- (7) Reduce the need for affirmative action in later years by improving access in earlier years.
- (8) Create conditions for healthy competition among states so that we can have more experiments in governance.

@comfygoo @Satya_Anvesika @narendramodi @_ManmohanSingh Muslims don't heed to external inputs on divisions.
English
He’s advancing policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthy, while low-income and underprivileged communities continue to struggle. At the same time, he exploits religious divisions—pitting Hindus and Muslims against each other—to consolidate political support. Over the past decade, economic inequality has deepened, and the gap between the rich and the rest has grown significantly.

Joi Maa Kali!
Joi Maa Durga!
In Kolkata this evening, I prayed at the Thanthania Kalibari.
This ancient Temple has a very close connection with Bengali culture and Kolkata in particular. It also has a very close association with Sri Ramakrishna, who used to pray there very often.
I prayed for the prosperity, good health and well-being of the people of India.
