Piyush Goyal confused Einstein for Newton while claiming that Math did not aid explanations for gravity, in an attempt to deride calculations in discussing the economy. For anyone who's been in India for the last 5 years or so, this shouldn't come as a surprise... #WarOnScience

Hi, @the_hindu, math is not mathing. If 3L is 58% of overall family count, are there just 5.17L families in AP and yet families with 3+ children sum up to 62L? 5.17L families for a 5.37 Cr population: average size of 104 members/family? thehindu.com/news/national/…

@mountain_rats If the only reason you can repeatedly offer for calling your chest 56" is the # of people in cities, states & country, you need to check your measuring tape. You might find a decimal point. Dubai pop. 4M GDP $117B GDP pc $29,250 Mumbai pop. 26-23M GDP $400B GDP pc $15384-17,390

Some Indians on this platform are making it sound as if UAE is some 10-15 Trillion dollar economy! Shaant ho jao bhai. It’s a great country and Dubai is world class city. GDP of Dubai - $116 billion GDP of Mumbai - $400 billion+ Dubai is a great place! But don’t belittle your own country. No sheikh will offer you citizenship. India is adding one DUBAI every year to its economy!

@aravind All this verbose lecture about military strategy, young India's psychology, morale, stability, being philosophical about war losses, internal politics, psyops, etc., etc., prompted by an F-15 which was reported as being hit by friendly fire.

as i had warned before opsindoor even started, crashes and losses are part of war. without them a power, even the US, can't exert itself and accomplish its adjectives. the americans understand this very well. they know even with afghanistan or vietnam, they have suffered losses. no power is invincible to losses of equipment and even men during a war to attain big geopolitical objectives. this is something Indians have to realize. or, especially as a democracy, we become easy targets of enemy's psyops. this has severe negative effects during war time. this is very important to understand for the young demographic in india which has never seen india fight a war until opsindoor. don't become the enemy's useful pawns getting carried away by their narratives. they enemy tries to demoralize us and destabilize us by simply showing us some of the losses during wartime and playing it up as something devastating even as the enemy is the one getting devastated. they use our internal politics to incite us and pressure the govt to stop operations. we clearly saw this during opsindoor when suddenly sections of our own population started questioning India's actions and urged for "ceasefire." next time, do not fall for these psyops. if they show images and videos of losses for india - fake or not, just make everyone you know understand such losses, even if true, are part of war and the end result is what matters. ask those getting demoralized to be patient and continue supporting india's armed forces and the govt during any war.

@chandrarsrikant Congrats on becoming radicalized enough to parrot The Commune's fake headline. Article admits the "cartoon" is inspired by Munch's The Scream, then swivels to call it Nazi-like for no reason before puking reams of baseless sermon. How is The Scream connected to Nazi propaganda?

@AdvaitaKala @sreemoytalukdar *Yawn*. Trump's corruption is an insight thousands churned out since the 1980s. A better one: Reza Pahlavi will declare that Iran needs crypto assets & his chosen route will be the Trump World Liberty Financial Laundering Machine. Trump making money >>> US Treasury making money.

Is @sreemoytalukdar the sharpest political analyst on the beat right now or not! 👍 He is reading this ongoing situation with complete clarity and non partisanship. Follow him.

@JesseSisson2 @abierkhatib "Called the cops on Epstein". Ha ha ha. Cops were aware of Epstein's activities since Nov'04. Began investigating in Mar'05. Filed probable cause affidavit in May'06. After Epstein's arrest in July, all Trump supposedly did was tell PBPD's Ritter "Everyone knew he's doing this"

@abierkhatib Was that before or after Trump called the police on Epstein?

Omg.. 😱 Epstein, in an email to Paul Krassner w the subject line Re: Trump - "i was pointing out that the alleged rape was reported to be at my house with donald and I raping her” They gonna nuke Iran to bury those files

@smitaprakash What were you expecting Kazuo Shii to do? Invade?

That's all. Kadi ninda. x.com/shiikazuo/stat…

@_pallavighosh What is the exclamation for? Did you expect Iran and Israel to guarantee safe passage for flights from and to that airport because it is largest, swankiest and busiest?

One of the world’s largest swankiest and busiest airport - Dubai airport has shut down !

When dealing with flunkeys of 2 corrupt, bigoted, narcissistic, monstrous liars who have weaponized & polarized 2 nations, do NOT declare "Peace for Our Time". History, if it remembers you, will see you as a woefully inept, deluded patsy of duplicitous evil. Netanyahu | Trump

@HindolSengupta How many name changes by white supremacists to link US national pride to Greek myth/gods in 10 years? 100? Philadelphia = "brotherly love", Phoenix: no religious connotations (the one venerated was Egypt's Bennu), Ithaca linked to Ulysses, a man, not a god. All ironic examples.

Why are you so uneducated Bhatia? More than 200 American cities alone from Philadelphia to Phoenix to Ithaca etc. are named after Greek sources (gods, ideas, places etc.) Again - why are you so uneducated Bhatia?

@grok @Stranger145775 @IndiaUnleashed_ @latha_venkatesh @indianxghost It was an outlook for a reason; it was not fact. Or are you saying India's annual GDP went past Japan's by 01/26, while also saying it will just edge Japan's by 12/26, if ₹/$ is 83? Next time choose 6.17 as an eg. & project $56 Trillion FY26 GDP. One cult will be thrilled.

No—the IMF Oct '25 calendar-2026 outlook (pre-revision) had India ~$4.51T edging Japan $4.46T. FY26 (to 31/3/26) revised nominal GDP: ₹345.47 lakh cr. Factual FY26 YTD avg ₹/$ (Apr '25–Feb '26 monthly data): ~88 (87.3 Apr-Dec '25; ~91 Jan-Feb '26). So India ~$3.93T. Japan FY25/26 est. ~$4.35T range. Still trails, but closing; analysts now see surpass in FY27. 83 was just an example rate; actual YTD higher, recent ~91.

Here are the main takeaways from the new GDP series. REAL GDP (%) Old Revised to fy26 7.4 7.6 fy25 6.5 7.1 fy24 9.2 7.2 1/6

@grok @Stranger145775 @IndiaUnleashed_ @latha_venkatesh @indianxghost So @grok, you are saying wait until 31/12/26 for India's 12 month GDP to maybe just edge Japan's? What are $ forecasts for India & Japan GDP for year ending 31/3/26? Why ₹83/$? Except for a week, ₹ was 85+ in FY26 YTD, peaking at 92. What is the factual avg ₹/$ rate for FY26?

Yes, India is projected to be the 4th largest economy by nominal GDP in 2026 per IMF (Oct 2025 outlook): ~$4.51T, edging out Japan at ~$4.46T (after surpassing it mid-2025). The thread's ₹345.47 lakh crore FY26 at 83 INR/USD = ~$4.16T aligns closely enough under current rates—the revisions boost the base and growth trajectory to hold that rank. Still behind Germany (~$5.33T), but closing fast.

@ashwini_kochar @Tushar15 Am being kind to an apologist, little more than a grammatically correct Pallavi Ghosh. His 1st sentence is inanely trivial. All know rulings can be appealed. The rest is deceptive. Excusing a feckless ED/CBI by parroting "discharge not acquittal" a dozen times is not a flex.

@santhoshd @Tushar15 Please refrain from using abusive words @Tushar15 is right

@Iyervval So, the thousands of chargesheet pages describing charges, witness statements, evidence, arguments, are so preposterous the judge ruled it's not worth framing 1 charge against 1 defendant, discharged all. Yet CBI & ED will now find new evidence to magically convict them all.

Please note: Kejriwal has been DISCHARGED - NOT ACQUITTED. This means the case can be reopened with new evidence. That is why the judge has been so harsh on the incompetent CBI officer. Double jeopardy doesn’t apply to discharge only to acquittal.

@Tushar15 You are furiously peddling some fakery, probably posted in some Malviya-led IT Cell WhatsApp Group, constructed around Discharge Vs Acquittal. When will you realise that a discharge is better and start thinking for yourself? x.com/santhoshd/stat…

@Tushar15 Do you even know what a discharge is? It's better than an acquittal. The court is saying ED & CBI charges against Kejriwal, Sisodia & others are so preposterous it's a waste of time to proceed. It has refused to even frame charges & also ordered an enquiry against CBI personnel.

@TheNavroopSingh This kind of reflexive fakery is hilarious. That was "prima facie", an observation in a bail hearing. Evidence was not presented, examined or challenged in a trial. No judge had ruled on the merits of accusations or evidence ED/CBI offered in 2023, 2024 or 2025.

The Govt should appeal to High Court in CBI Case ! There is a Prima Facie opinion of Justice Khanna in SC Order on loss to ex-chequer !

@AbhinavAgarwal ED had no proof even 1 phone was destroyed but "someone" destroyed 173. Where's the money trail? Liquor scam was allegedly about bribes, wasn't it? It was dead on arrival as it was fabricated to tie up Kejriwal, Sisodia & AAP and let #BJParty win Delhi. Mission accomplished.

Without those 173 phones, the ED's case was dead on arrival. Irrespective of Kejriwal's guilt or complicity, or not, whoever went to such lengths as to destroy 173 phones was far smarter than the ED.

@ShamikaRavi So @_CMIE income data is "completely unsuitable" & income analysis should use expenditure data. Spending more obviously means earning more. Or can you post HCES 2014-25 income data? Brutus says you're India's Non Biological Doyenne of Data & Brutus surely is an honourable man.

CMIE is completely unsuitable for such an analysis. Enough has been written on this, including from Jean Dreze etc. The authors should have at least tried using the HCES to test their hypothesis.
