Is Dhurandhar 3 going to be based in Vancouver? Yalina has tickets to Vancouver and we had unknown gunmen in Vancouver. #Dhurandhar2‌TheRevenge

@sougat18 This is just an exploration. Earliest date it’ll be available to use be like 2035.

This development should be blasted across all mainstream channels.

@MinhazMerchant @Openthemag Are you saying that we’ve easily exploitable oil reserves and we’re not drilling them?

In 1989 India’s dependence on oil imports was 65%. In 2026 it is 90%. The failure of successive govts for 37 years to reverse stagnant crude oil production is the principal reason for India’s bloated trade deficit & rupee fall. My @Openthemag column

@ravihanda @amitgoel78 Only issue that I’m seeing in USA where I’m living for last 15 years. 1. There’s huge anti-immigration sentiment even kids are born in USA. 2. Education is USA is now very expensive even for parents who lived here for 15 years. Each kid needs at least $200k.

I would strongly recommend that you continue to stay out of India, especially for your three-year-old kid. There are multiple advantages. In many cases, there is the possibility of getting a better passport in the long run, but let’s leave that aside. The core question is what leads to a better life for your child, not just over the next 15 years, but over his entire lifetime. A large part of that upbringing is in your hands, but a significant portion comes from the culture he grows up in. The culture in India is largely competition-driven and quite cutthroat, and there are also civic sense issues, as you are aware. Yes, Indian culture has its benefits, but if you think long term, a more balanced culture abroad can lead to a happier life for the child. Your kid may not grow up prioritizing just making more and more money or being extremely driven, and I don’t think that is necessarily the ideal outcome. Personally, I would want my child to have a smoother, more comfortable life, still achieve something meaningful, and be happy. That becomes easier in many places abroad. The cohort your child grows up in also matters. It will likely include expat Indians, but also a broader, more diverse set of people. On average, NRIs tend to be financially better off than the average Indian, and that reflects in the peer group. Exposure to different cultures and ways of thinking can help shape a more well-rounded individual. Even from a career perspective, growing up in an economy without a scarcity mindset or low-trust environment opens up more opportunities. There is also the safety angle, especially relevant if you have a daughter. Practically speaking, apart from the lower cost of raising a child in India, I don’t see many strong advantages of moving back.

highly torn between return to india or continue living abroad... and the sole factor is to figure out what will be better for my 3yo kid. not worried much about myself as I can live anywhere. but what's good for kid is tearing me apart... @ravihanda any honest opinions ?

@AadiAchint I hope he understands this even if price in Digital Market is -37 that doesn’t mean anyone will give you physical delivery at that price.

Why doesn't he talk about the debt that had to be repaid? This is fantastical thinking at best.. reality though as usual is far far away.. I would expect better research and an all around perspective rather than a usual myopic view.

@virsanghvi @TheEconomist If Economist thinks Unknown Gunmen is fake story then ask them to file petition in US to release Nikhil Gupta. US can accept this article as an evidence.

Here’s @TheEconomist on Dhurandhar 2. “Some of the biggest cheers for “The Revenge” at the showing Banyan attended erupted not when patriotic dialogue is delivered, nor when Pakistanis are finished off in increasingly imaginative ways, nor even when the sneering terrorist has his brains blown out. The loudest cheers came when the screen lit up with news footage of Mr Modi, the bravest Hindu of all. But to dismiss “Dhurandhar” as propaganda is to miss something important. It did not become a monster hit by trying to convince viewers of an alternate reality. Its genius is to reflect the world many Indians, browbeaten by years of shrill pro-Modi messaging on TV news and social media, already believe to be real.”

@kushal_mehra Watch starting at Minute 26:00. She was talking about UCC and suddenly said this about electoral process. I don’t know why.

Please share the whole clip for context with me. This cannot be real! Please tell me there is more context to this! I cannot tolerate this stupidity.

@EshDharm @VatsRishap He has blocked people for responding him with logic. I’ve been blocked

@VatsRishap Always remember this legendary observation....

"vulgar propaganda, poorly plotted, gratuitously violent" For a moment, I thought you were describing another disastrous and destabilizing regime change war you are cheerleading, along with your attempts to manufacture consent for it.

@Schandillia And what’s stopping Indians from suing the Municipal govt or State govt?

If you show this clip and say that in the US, the victim could’ve sued the shit out of the city council and won, you’ll be called antinational. If you say petrol is ₹7 cheaper in Mumbai than in Karachi, you’ll get named the high priest of national positivity.

@robinhoodmumbai @rishabhm If you’re living in India why do you care about USD returns? If you care about USD returns then your money should’ve been in US markets. Indian market returns will be in INR.

@rishabhm It's not about 10% drawdown..there is zero percent return on nifty in 2 years...USD returns for full term of 12 years of this government is 5.6%....Lower than S&P, DAX, CAC and other major global indices.

One day and asteroid will be heading for Earth and people will still blame the govt for a market selloff. If you can't handle a 10% DD during the worst energy crisis in history, stick to investing in FDs.

@RajivMessage India is not a dalal nation. We need to focus securing energy resources and let other nations figure out what to do with war. We’ve so much to lose economically in this war and let’s not lose diplomatically as well.

Under the Pakistan-Saudi Defence Treaty, Pak might have to declare war against Yemen and Iran, because they have attacked Saudi Arabia. This would devastate Pak not only depleting its military, but more importantly it will piss off China. Hence Pak’s vested interest is to get a cease fire. They have convinced Trump that their secret negotiations are promising. Trump is projecting this publicly for his own ego & domestic politics. But Iran is not buying any ceasefire and has increased its demands. The war is likely to expand. Pak might get dragged in. India being wise staying out and protecting its economic interests. Jai Hind. @KanwalSibal

@bhaumikgowande There’s a group of MPs who regularly bike to Parliament. This news is bit old but as far as I know from my friends these MPs still bike regularly to parliament. But Indian media or sm isn’t interested in reporting positive news. Only rage bait is sold. thefederal.com/news/meet-the-…

Mayor of New York City, promoting cycling. He even biked 6 miles from Manhattan to Brooklyn. These are the political idols India needs, not a 100 car convoy MLA/MP using taxpayers money illegally.

@marinebharat What you’re saying has some merit if you go by PPP. Dollar purchasing price is diminishing quite fast. I paid 600 (rupees for 1 kg potatoes yesterday. Potatoes are $2.49 per pound right now. Before COVID they were $1.19.

Coming soon….

@MakrandParanspe Indian rupee is depreciating constant 4% for last 25 years. It feels worse now because previous RBI governor wanted strong rupee for some reason. Rupee is accumulating 3 years of depreciation in last 1 year.

Indeed, but just to be fair, what are the figures for UPA, "Gandhi Ji"--or quantam_lock Ji?

@MakrandParanspe @BJP4India Since you claim you’re PhD some financial information for you. Modi came in office when ₹59 today it’s ₹95. That puts the CAGR for devaluation at 4%. This was historic devaluation rate as well.

Imagine what @BJP4India in the opposition would have done with this, Sir.

@somnath1978 And 5 million Indians live here in USA.

Wht we get frm the US? Roughly 60-70 bn of trade surplus funding all the oil/fertilizer imports + 200bn IT industry that is the largest sink of hi-paying jobs. Sadly, writing 800 word columns doesnt generate econ value for imports or too many jobs...

@RajivMessage x.com/acyn/status/20… This sums very well why Pakistan is getting so coverage.

Thought provoking. Has Pak diplomacy repositioned itself dramatically in the past 12 months, from being a pariah to being very important in both US and China camps? Indian diplomats’ response? No emotional outbursts please.

@adityajakki If you do CAGR over last 12 years it’s still 4%. Only bad thing is govt loaded all the drop this year. Previous RBI governor was hell bent on keeping rupee strong and it depreciated by just 1% CAGR

Lmao We have come to a situation where economists want RBI and govt to intervene in rupee management meanwhile RBI is letting the markets play out I mean economists are not wrong but I think both govt and RBI think the show is not yet over... So they don't want to spend the ammunition so soon I think they will wait till mid April before doing anything significant on Rupee

@garvit_sethii And CAGR under Modi regime is exactly 4%. He came in office at 59 and now we’re at 94 after 12 years.

‼️WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS MAN?????? INR generally depreciates 4% a year, it has gone down by 4% in a month🤯 And 10 fuckin percent against the USD in a single year and why nobody is even talking about it goddamnit?????????

@garvit_sethii Answer lies here. Previous RBI governor was obsessed with strong rupee. In those 3 years it depreciated just at 1%. And CAGR over last 5 years is 5%. And we had 3 shocks COVID, Rus-Ukr, now Middle East war.

@sreemoytalukdar Last week PM of Pakistan said he saved 10 million lives now he’s saying he saved 30-50 million lives.

Trump has now come down to 9 planes from 11 that were, he keeps claiming, "shot down" during India-Pakistan war. One new detail in his relentless rant. He claims to have threatened "250% tariff on both countries" to stop the war. 🤡
