Sir, I would like to submit the following regarding ur post…. Travelling to China and appreciating its infrastructure is fair. Every Indian should want cleaner cities, faster execution and better urban planning. But the conclusion that India is simply “far behind” misses some very important realities. China’s modern transformation came through a centralized one-party system with extraordinary state control over land, media, dissent, labour and capital for decades. India, on the other hand, is a noisy democracy of 1.4 billion people with multiple languages, states, religions and competing political interests. Comparing outcomes without comparing systems is intellectually incomplete. And despite those constraints, India’s progress in the last decade has been massive: • The world’s largest digital payments ecosystem through UPI • Record highway, railway and airport expansion • Rapid electrification and rural connectivity • One of the cheapest internet ecosystems globally • Massive growth in manufacturing, startups and digital public infrastructure • Millions lifted into formal banking, healthcare and welfare systems China built world-class infrastructure first and expanded freedoms later. India chose to preserve democratic freedoms while developing. That path is slower, messier and frustrating at times — but it is also far more sustainable socially. Also, tourists don’t only visit countries for shiny skyscrapers and bullet trains. India’s strength lies in its civilizational depth, diversity, spirituality, food, culture and openness. People don’t come here to see a copy of Shanghai. They come for something unique that China itself cannot replicate. Yes, India must improve execution, civic sense and urban planning. Citizens should absolutely demand better governance. But constantly framing India as a failure while overlooking its scale, democratic complexity and achievements creates unnecessary pessimism. Patriotism is not blind praise. But neither is it selectively admiring another country while ignoring the enormous progress happening at home. India is not competing to become China. India is building its own model , slower perhaps, but freer, more diverse and ultimately more resilient.

I've already retweeted @Options_IndiaAB post. Since I want this to reach lot of people, posting it separately too. Here is the post: I recently spent 2 weeks in China. 6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu. I went there with curiosity. Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building. I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling. Not because I found a business idea for myself. But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously. I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning. Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets. And then I kept thinking about India. We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways. After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food. China is not perfect. No country is. But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us. They are decades ahead. The saddest part for me was the currency. Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt. We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power. But where is the quality of life? Where is the civic sense? Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier? Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism? I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list. That should bother us. Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook. But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted. Again, this is not a hate post. I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me. Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great. Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind. China made me realise one thing very clearly: India’s potential is not the problem. Execution is. And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.

Remember when Vijay stood on stage during the elections and proudly claimed that TVK’s manifesto only contained promises that were “possible, practical, and implementable”? Remember the massive assurance given to farmers? ✅ 100% crop loan waiver for farmers owning up to 5 acres ✅ 50% waiver for those owning above 5 acres Fast forward to after the elections and after securing the CM chair — what do farmers get now? Not the simple land-based waiver that was promised. Instead, a confusing corporate-style slab system based on loan amounts that completely dilutes the original commitment. • Loan below ₹50,000 → 100% waiver • Loan between ₹50k–₹60k → flat ₹40,000 waiver • Loan between ₹80k–₹90k → just ₹10,000 waiver (barely 11%) And for farmers above 5 acres, the situation is even worse: A farmer with a ₹1 lakh loan gets only ₹5,000 waived — where did the promised 50% waiver disappear? During elections, Vijay loudly declared he wouldn’t “cheat people like others do.” Then what exactly is this if not a complete U-turn from the manifesto promise? Farmers didn’t vote for hidden clauses, discount coupons, or terms & conditions. They voted believing a clear promise made to them in public. What happened to “Aram, Porul, Inbam”? Right now, it looks more like “Aramse” diluting every promise one by one. #TVKManifesto #TamilNaduPolitics #VijayCM #FarmersBetrayed

RBI விதிமுறையால், கடன் தள்ளுபடி அறிவித்தால் அரசு 45–60 நாட்களுக்குள் வங்கிகளுக்கு பணம் கொடுக்க வேண்டும். தமிழ்நாடு அரசின் நிதிநிலையை கருத்தில் கொண்டு, அந்த அளவுக்கு மட்டுமே தள்ளுபடி திட்டம் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. அதனால் முழுக் கடன் தள்ளுபடிக்கு பதிலாக படிப்படியாக (slab-wise) தள்ளுபடி அறிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. பதவியேற்று வெறும் 16 நாட்களே ஆன அரசு இதை செய்துள்ளது!😊 அப்படி இருக்க பவள விழா பாப்பா பதறி போக தானே செய்யும்?

If TVK promised complete crop loan waivers for all farmers owning less than 5 acres before elections, then restricting it later to only those with loans below ₹50,000 is clearly a betrayal of trust. The same pattern was seen with the “200 units free electricity” promise, which later came with hidden conditions and limitations. People voted believing these promises would be implemented honestly, not diluted after coming to power. Governance is not cinema dialogue delivery — accountability matters. If promises are changed after elections, people have every right to question whether these were genuine commitments or just tools to win votes. A government that claims to represent “change” must first learn to respect the mandate and trust of ordinary farmers and middle-class families. @TVKVijayHQ @TVKPartyHQ #farmers #manifesto #tamilnadu #tnpolitics

@stats_feed Political Industry

If all humans suddenly lost the ability to lie, what industry would collapse first?

Education matters because educated people compare Debt-to-GDP ratio, not random headline numbers. India’s economy itself grew from roughly $1.7 trillion in 2010 to nearly $4.5 trillion+ in 2026. Every growing economy borrows for infrastructure, defense, railways, highways, manufacturing, welfare and capital expenditure. By this logic, the US, Japan and China are all ‘bankrupt’ because their debt is higher today than 15 years ago. Raw debt numbers without economic context are propaganda, not analysis.”

Why does EDUCATION matter ? 👇

People like Abhay’s Calling people “idiots” is easy when you have no facts left to defend your argument. Disagreeing with Modi doesn’t make someone brainwashed, just like blindly hating him doesn’t make you intelligent. India has seen record infrastructure growth, digital expansion, stronger foreign relations, and welfare delivery at a scale never seen before. You may dislike the government, but reducing millions of voters to “terrorised brainwashed people” only exposes your own intolerance and arrogance. Debate with facts, not insults.

@mssakshinarula @rvindnl More then Modi idiots like Arvind are bigger problems, infact I won't even blame them they have been fed so much of misinformation, it's like typical brainwash that is shown in movie for terrorising people.

We have reached a stage where being a bhakt now is extremely dangerous, I mean bhakts can defend anything the government says and does. What the fk happened to your brains? Why can't you see the way they have ruined this country? It's like the rest of us that question the government are just fire fighting comstantly because no one cares at all about the students, the women, the minorities, the animals. It's exhausting and so stressful because even a kid can tell you what's wrong and right in 12 years. When someone tells us that our press freedom is gone, we become defensive. Aise kaise bola humme? Kyun godi media channels nahi dekh rahe ho itne saal se? The world knows the truth. No one outside India is doing our mahamanav's charan vandana like the press here and his followers in India and abroad. What they have successfully done is branded you, their voter base. The fool, the clown that will jump around defending them for all their mistakes. They've made you stop thinking, stop questioning because hey Motiji ne kara hai toh sochkar hi kara hoga. They made you feel false pride in being a true nationalist for choosing them and supporting them. But they forgot to teach you patriotism sadly, because the highest form of patriotism is to question injustice, uphold democratic practices, the constitution, the law of the land, sovereignty of the state and it's institutions, press freedom, free speech and question the government at every step. Countries that are progressing and where citizens live a good life, good infrastructure and resources, have better per capita income, the press and the citizens now and not in some distant future, question the government on absolutely everything. The government is supposed to work for us, not be worshipped by us. We are being taxed like Singapore, especially the middle class and look at the state of the country and our economy. This is not just a failure of the government but also a failure of citizens. Because of you bhakts, the whole country is suffering.

@naturedotcom NI

What's coming next after Al?

@TVKpulse Just come out from movies and live in reality…

Everyone is blaming our leader People’s CM Vijay for appointing Arun IPS as ADGP and Director of Vigilance & Anti-Corruption. Honestly, I can understand why many people are frustrated by this move. According to many allegations raised against the previous government, Arun IPS was considered one of the strong pillars behind them. But when I saw this news, one movie scene immediately came to my mind from our leader Vijay’s movie Pokkiri. After Nassar’s character dies, Vijay wears the police uniform, calls the corrupt officer near him, and says: “Potta uniform-ku inniku oru naalavathu unmaiya vela paru.” That is exactly the feeling many people are getting from this move by CM Vijay. Because if anyone knows deeply about the corruption allegations and how things operated during the previous government, it would be the officers who were already inside the system itself. Maybe that is exactly why our leader CM Vijay appointed him to Vigilance and Anti-Corruption. Sometimes the best way to expose a system is through the people who already know how it worked. At the same time, our leader Vijay has never taken decisions without a strong reason behind them. So instead of rushing to conclusions, let’s wait and watch. I strongly believe there is a bigger plan behind this appointment.

As a Dr, please verify facts atleast from Google …Qouting one quarter’s profit conveniently ignore the bigger picture. Oil companies don’t decide prices based on a single 3-month report; they deal with global crude volatility, refining costs, exchange rates, transport, and future supply risks. When crude prices spike, the government absorbs pressure for months without daily hikes to protect consumers. But when adjustments finally happen, the same people scream “loot.” Also, these PSU oil companies fund infrastructure, energy security, and dividends for the government itself which ultimately supports welfare schemes and national development. Selective outrage without context is pure politics, not economics.

Another lie of the Modi government has been exposed. They are claiming that petrol and diesel prices need to be increased because oil companies are facing massive losses. But look here, oil companies earned a profit of ₹19,470 crore from January to March 2026, which is 41% higher than the same period last year.

Disagreement is not propaganda. The problem is some people have convinced themselves that any voter who disagrees with them must either be ignorant or manipulated. That mindset is far more dangerous to democracy than political disagreement itself. And if India was truly collapsing the way social media doom-posts claim, millions would not continue voting for the same leadership repeatedly in free elections. Democracy also means accepting that ordinary people may evaluate the same country differently than you do.

@rvindnl You consume too much propaganda sadly. No one can convince you otherwise. We are literally becoming a US colony. Enjoy amrit kaal while you can.

@kolappan Voters in those constituencies deserve honest representation — not MLAs who wait to see which way the wind blows before deciding where their “self-respect” lies.

No selfish agenda in joining TVK The three AIADMK MLAs, who resigned their posts and joined the TVK, said their decision was taken in the interest of the people of their constituencies and was not motivated by any selfish agenda. “It is to uphold our self-respect,” said Maragatham Kumaravel, speaking on behalf of all three MLAs. They also disclosed that Edappadi K. Palaniswami had plans to form a government with the support of the DMK, and said they did not approve of the idea.

Madam, The social fabric argument cuts both ways , a country of 1.4 billion with 6,000+ castes, dozens of languages, and centuries of division doesn't hold together by accident. Under Modi, India has seen the fastest infrastructure expansion in its history, 500 million+ bank accounts opened under Jan Dhan, the largest vaccination drive ever executed, and a geopolitical standing that has gone from being talked *at* to being courted by every major power on Earth. These aren't opinions they're documented facts which u can also go to google and educate yourself.. On censorship , removing a video or joke is not censorship; every democratic government regulates online content. The same platforms remove content in the US, UK, and EU routinely. Selective outrage about India's enforcement while ignoring identical practices elsewhere is not objectivity , it's bias. What *is* happening to the social fabric? A middle class that has tripled. Rural electrification that finally reached villages after 70 years. A space program landing on the Moon's south pole. UPI , built in India , now processing more digital transactions than Visa globally. If this is failure, what does success look like to you? Modi doesn't need blind defenders. He has results. Disagree with the politics all you want , but dismissing measurable national progress as failure, while accusing *others* of lacking objectivity, is precisely the irony you should sit with.

No, it's about the social fabric of this country more than just voting differently than me. Every point you have mentioned here has been a failure, please google if you can'tuse your mind anymore to understandwhat'shappening. Your lack of objectivity is glaring. Social media jokes and videos are taken down and you think there is no censorship wow. Don't know which rock you people live under.

@RamyaDpalani Every emerging party faces criticism, fear campaigns and predictions of “downfall.” The real answer will come from the people, not from hashtags or sarcastic nicknames.

“தூயசக்தி” became “துயரசக்தி” undemocratic unethical authoritarian TVK- You will see your fall soon

That logic is exactly why black money becomes normalised. “Already rich officially, so why count the unofficial wealth?” because unaccounted wealth still means tax evasion, unequal competition and parallel economies operating outside the system. The issue isn’t whether someone is rich or poor. The issue is whether everyone plays by the same rules. If ordinary salaried people are taxed on every rupee while massive undeclared wealth is casually ignored, trust in the entire system collapses.

One key point people forget is lot of rich people have both accounted and unaccounted wealth. Since they are already rich officially, what is the point in counting them unofficially too?

Politics may involve strategy, alliances and defections, but normalising every political crossover with “all is fair” is exactly why public trust keeps eroding. What was criticised as horse trading when opponents did it suddenly becomes smart politics when one’s own side benefits. That double standard exists across parties. Leaders come and go, but democracy works best when ideology and voter mandate matter more than political convenience. Otherwise elections become meaningless and loyalty becomes a commodity.

All is fair in politics The resignation of three AIADMK MLAs reminds me of the days of J. Jayalalithaa, who successfully engineered defections in the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam headed by Vijayakant. It began after her war of words with Vijayakant in the Assembly. I think the defections started with Ma Foi K. Pandiarajan, who later became a Minister in her Cabinet. All is fair not only in love and war, but also in politics.

Comparing a democratically elected government to rating a bus ride or food order itself proves how shallow political discourse has become... If 15 days are more than enough to judge a government, then by that logic every new CM or PM in history should’ve been declared a success or failure within two weeks itself.

@rvindnl @SanjanaFlicks When u buy food or travelling in bus or something and ur giving rating by judging a single day or attempt, in such case 15 days is more than enough to rate

15 Days of TVK Government in TN Your rating? 🤔 Rate from 0 to 10

@GuptaPragnya Rahul Gandhi predicting the fall of the Modi government has become a yearly ritual since 2014. Yet after every election, the BJP returns stronger while the opposition keeps rewriting excuses.

Rahul Gandhi’s statements, most of which have come to become truth in due course of time, has claimed that the Narendra Modi government could collapse within the next year due to growing economic problems and changing global conditions. Rahul Gandhi reportedly said PM Modi would have to step down within a year, intensifying the political battle. Every peace and progress loving Indian can only pray and manifest for this to happen. After all “Destiny” can’t be rigged and sabotaged.

The Congress suddenly pretending to care about fuel prices is political comedy at its peak. The same party that kept petrol prices high during UPA years despite much lower crude oil prices now wants to lecture others on economics and public welfare. Also, calling every tax collection “loot” is intellectually dishonest. Fuel taxes are used for: • National highways • Infrastructure expansion • Welfare schemes • Defence spending • Rural development • Subsidies and public investment India today has: • Record highway construction • Massive railway modernization • Rapid digital infrastructure growth • Better direct benefit transfers reducing corruption • Stronger fiscal capacity than before And let’s not forget state governments also heavily tax fuel. If Congress-ruled states are so concerned, why don’t they reduce their own VAT immediately? Blaming only the Centre while quietly collecting state taxes is classic selective outrage. Yes, rising fuel prices affect people and governments must balance taxation carefully. But screaming “₹57 lakh crore loot” every day without context is pure propaganda designed to create anger, not solutions. People can see the difference between governance and political theatrics.

The petrol price has crossed Rs 110 per litre for the first time in 78 years after independence. There is a Rs 57 lakh crore loot by the BJP in the last 12 years. Every day, fuel loot is picking the pockets of the common man. The last 11 days have been catastrophic on the pockets of the salaried class, farmers, businessmen, homemakers, small businesses, and the common man. With the Union BJP government unleashing fuel loot by increasing the price of petrol and diesel four times in the last 11 days, this back-breaking and defrauding of the Kannadigas by the BJP is unpardonable.
