@adityajakki @Akshay_VAK Divide the bigger states into smaller states
English
A decade back I used to take all the Federalism nonsense agenda at face value
More powers to states, respecting regional parties etc
But more I studied public policy, politics and from my observations in Europe, I realised all that was nonsense
In India, it is not at the state level that decentralisation has to happen
It is at city administration level that has to happen
States in India are too powerful incentivising parochial feudal dehat and sub-national Identity politics
Moderate size states like Kerala, Telangana, Haryana and high empowered urban municipal bodies, especially municipal corporations, is the right way to go and has to be the future of India

@YearOfTheKraken Who was the leader of India during his crucial time?
English
One thing that Indians do not appreciate enough about themselves is that millions and millions of people who came to India after losing everything during partition managed to rebuild their lives almost entirely in 70 odd years.
Hundreds and Thousands of Bengalis, Sindhis, Punjabis and other communities migrated into India without nothing on their except the clothes they wore. Yet, in matter of decades, they managed to build their lives anew entirely.
In many cases, they may not have recovered their lost wealth entirely. But at least, they educated their children, their children secured good enough jobs or stable businesses, and there's genuine hope for the future.
We could have easily been basket cases like Pakistan or Bangladesh. But we are the fastest growing economy and things are only going to get better from here. This speaks of the strength of character of our peoples. We should be proud of that.

@iAsura_ @kissingerspeaks ‘Restraint’ is a funny word to use to describe surrender
English
US spitting on India almost on a daily basis. But the kind of restraint and maturity Modi Government is showing by not budging a bit from the position of servility and obedience is actually admiring. Why would the West not honour him!! He deserves every bit of it.

@narawind @SarkarSupriyo @lokhhimeye But they DO have rights. By law. You may feel they shouldn't for whatever reasons, but they do.
English
@mihirmodi @SarkarSupriyo @lokhhimeye People who leave their country for better personal opportunities don’t have ‘rights’. Most Indians who move abroad are ready to give up their citizenship at the drop of a hat. They don’t know what’s happening on the ground and will not face the consequences of their vote
English
@narawind @SarkarSupriyo @lokhhimeye Nah, but the fact that you thought your 'should' should be featured under a story about someone's rights being taken away clearly shows where your priorities lie.
Read The Room, Tommy!
English
@mihirmodi @SarkarSupriyo @lokhhimeye Do you need an explanation between the words ‘can’ and ‘should’?
English
@narawind @SarkarSupriyo @lokhhimeye But by law they can, and ECI has to execute as per prevailing laws, not bad on opinions, right?

The dollar is the reserve currency NOT because of the Petrodollar - that was absolute nonsense. It is because of capital flows and the depth of US financial markets. Weaponize it and you destroy the very foundation it depends on.

Is the Hudson institute part of the pro Zionist lobby?

#WATCH | Washington, DC | On what the Americans get wrong about the RSS, RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale says, "Americans' misunderstanding is not only about the RSS... America's misunderstanding about India is that it is overpopulated, full of slums, poverty, and is the land of snakes, slums and swamis. India is also a tech hub... India is the fourth-largest economy in the world. These things are somehow missed in the common American perception. About RSS, also, the narrative that has been created, knowingly or unknowingly, or as a part of an agenda, is that RSS is a Hindu supremacist and in a way anti-Christian, anti minority, anti-development of women and anti-modernisation. What is pro is not always told..." (Source: Hudson Institute/YouTube)

@YearOfTheKraken The city had the governance it needed for the circumstances it was in.
English
It is testament to the character of Kolkata as a city that despite 6 decades of degenerate governance and the complete intellectual bankruptcy of its cultural elite, the city continues to remain the greatest cultural bulwark in East India.
Just tells you how great the generation of Bengalis between 1850-1950 were.
We will never see their like again.

গতকাল সন্ধ্যায়, হাওড়া থেকে কলকাতা পর্যন্ত দীর্ঘ রোড-শো'র সময় হাওড়া ব্রিজের ওপর ছিলাম। আর আজ সকালে, হুগলি নদী থেকে এই ব্রিজকে দেখলাম!

Amal was under rubble and still conscious, she was speaking to family. The IOF fired on rescuers for 6 hours to make sure she couldn't survive.

Amal Khalil’s funeral in Lebanon. Israel murdered her. She was a journalist.

@ShadesOfBlueAn1 Both Indiana and Mexicans should go back
English
Overwhelming majority of Indian immigrants are legal, follow the process, are vetted and approved by DHS/USCIS/DOS.
What about majority of Mexican immigrants?
Sara Gonzales@SaraGonzalesTX
Don’t be intellectually dishonest, Priya. The majority of Indian immigrants are ABUSING and EXPLOITING the legal immigration system. That’s the entire point.

@jlippincott Birthright granted to babies born to parents who weren’t citizens when the babies were born should also be revoked.
English
A sovereign nation has every right to determine who shall be a citizen. Birthright citizenship violates the consent of the governed and should be abolished.
Insider Paper@TheInsiderPaper
Trump in a detailed note, shared on Truth Social on the issue of citizenship compares India, China and others as hellhole. “A baby here becomes an instant citizen and then they bring in their entire family from China, or India or some other hellhole on the planet.”

@mehdirhasan @awolaxolotl Hindu RW will still kiss Trump’s ass
English
I tried to warn right-wing Hindu Americans that getting in bed with Trump and his white supremacist pals would backfire on them eventually. Racists are always going to be racist.
Hindu American Foundation@HinduAmerican
We are deeply disturbed by @POTUS sharing this hateful, racist screed targeting Indian and Chinese Americans. Endorsing such rants as the president of the United States will further stoke hatred and endanger our communities, at a time when xenophobia and racism are already at an all time high. We ask @realDonaldTrump to reconsider, delete this post & recognize the indelible contributions of Asian Americans to our great country.

🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇳 Trump just reposted a 4-page transcript that calls India a "hellhole" country. "I used to be a great supporter of Indians in India until I opened my eyes up to what's going on here. White men need not apply to jobs in the state of California. Nevermind in high tech. I don't care what your qualifications are. You're not getting a job at High Tech in California. Your chances are nil. You have to be from India or China because almost all the internal mechanisms are set up to run by Indians and Chinese. I know it for a fact, and you don't have to argue with it. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't argue with me."
