Ram Mandir was the pinnacle of Hindutva. It lit the spark of Hindutva’s revival. Its construction & murti puja was a fulfillment of the ideology. Of the blood, sweat, & tears that so many average Hindus poured into it for centuries.
Many never believed it would ever occur.
And honestly forget politics.
From a theological perspective, infusing & opening the eyes of the murti of Ram Lala at his birthplace after 5 centuries is a genuinely earth shattering event. It’s a divine occasion.
Not just the norms of politics but just general laws of gratitude would necessitate a form of reciprocation & gratefulness.
That never came.
And from that point on, I have changed my view on Indian politics & the public.

People will call them Sanghi and fascist for voting for the BJP.
Well, fascism brings electricity to your home for the first time.
#WATCH | Hooghly, West Bengal: Chakdah village under Ashtaradattapur Gram Panchayat in the Tarkeshwar Assembly constituency receives electricity for the first time since Independence. Around 400 Adivasi families are set to celebrate the Diwali festival with a new ray of hope as their village gets its first-ever electricity connection. (05.11)

Let me ask you…
If India’s Metro network had continued expanding at the pace it did before 2014, how long would the wait be for cities like Pune to have a metro?
YEARS….no…DECADES perhaps.
And that was UNACCEPTABLE.
In 2014, India had just 248 km of Metro lines across 5 cities.
Today, we have nearly 1,200 km across 26 cities.
Over 1 crore people travel by Metro every day.
The impact goes beyond statistics or numbers.
It means less time in traffic, more family time, greater productivity and better opportunities.
This is the transformation we are working towards for urban India!
What makes Pune Metro's new Pink Line so special?
23 km connecting Hinjewadi's IT hub with Shivajinagar.
Operated by women.
Almost a third of the electricity needs planned from solar energy.
Tomorrow, this Rs. 8,300 crore infra enhancement will be inaugurated!
A significant boost to 'Ease of Living' for Pune!

The IT Ministry has begun discussions on a sweeping overhaul of India’s social media regulatory framework, including a proposal to withdraw the legal immunity available to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and X for content posted by their users, The Indian Express has learnt.
The emerging view within the government is that social media platforms can no longer be considered passive carriers of information, given their use of sophisticated algorithms to rank, recommend and amplify content, and their ability to moderate posts based on their own community guidelines, which may not always align with Indian laws. Such practices, a section of the government believes, amount to exercising editorial control over content, raising questions about whether these companies should continue to enjoy the same legal protections as traditional intermediaries.
The government’s thinking has also received impetus from recent observations by the Supreme Court in the Just Rights for Children Alliance vs S Harish case, where the court raised concerns about social media companies’ failure to adequately prevent the circulation of child sexual exploitation and abuse material.

A fair chunk of my family and friends are Indian Americans, and I agree.
They maintained for decades that they don't need to give a crap how India is treated as they are Americans.
What they find is the bias has come home. They're in shock & disbelief.
If they had lobbied for Indo US relations and cared about fixing misinformation about hinduism, they wouldn't be in such dire straits
But they watched idly ny the sidelines as US campus spewed venom and pretended like it was scholarship. An area they should have dominated given the high % of Indian Americans in academia.
This then spread through both wings and eventually reached their own doorsteps.
Even now their reaction seems to be to distance themselves from H1Bs, offer no comment to anti India foreign policy, and beg to be treated special as they were "Born in the USA".
It won't work.

Hindu American gloating about the Dem win in the US will age just as well as the Arab Americans who voted for Trump in Michigan in 2024. Those Arab-Americans inadvertently voted for the war with Iran, while HAs have now basically voted for caste legislation. Rest assured I’m bookmarking all the celebrations and I’ll be here with the receipts with the caste laws are passed 😂

Do you feel India should depend on other countries for processing the critical minerals that power our future?
I certainly don’t!
Lithium, nickel, cobalt…these are essential for EVs, batteries, electronics and defence. Yet, we remain heavily dependent on imports of refined materials.
To address this, the Cabinet has approved a scheme to change this.
Key highlights:
New critical mineral processing plants.
Capital subsidy to boost investment.
Greater domestic value addition.
Stronger supply chains.
The principle is clear...India must have capabilities to build technologies of the future!

A good day to remember that Modi has won the majority of elections through five economic crises/episodes in the last six years. Covid, supply-chain deadlock, the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump tariffs, and most recently, the Iran war. Criminally underrated. BJP also undersells.

A lot of people will mistake this to mean that Rahul can actually outmatch Modi in a debate.
You need to remember 2014, when Modi would openly challenge “Shehzada” Rahul for one on one and Rahul kept shying away from it. He just wouldn’t debate Modi.
Today, at this point, Modi really has NO UPSIDE in debating Rahul. Rahul, on the contrary, has all the upside. Hence Modi isn’t responding to Rahul. Simple.
[Modi has embarrassed Rahul plenty of times in past, but Rahul keeps on asking for a rematch. Do you all remember how Modi trolled Rahul winking in parliament?]
Youth of India,
Do you want to see a Rahul Gandhi vs Narendra Modi open debate?
@rajnathsingh ji, @nitin_gadkari ji, @ChouhanShivraj ji, @myogiadityanath ji - you always have the PM’s best interest in mind, please convince him to come.
73%Yes - Modi Ji, Daro Mat.
27%No - Modi Ji, Dar Gaye.

— No communist revolution (in fact, a brutal takedown of naxal revolutionaries)
— No extractive colonisation from other nations
— No benevolent dictatorship
— No sucking up to and becoming a client of any Western state
— No Civil War or Division
Just the gentle march of democracy and capitalism tampered by state handouts
India shall always be the graveyard of western political and economic theories.
A nation with a diversity much more than that of the Balkans or the USSR, but also much more poorer, lifted half a billion people out of extreme poverty in less than fifteen years without getting balkanised or undergoing a radical revolution. India is not appreciated enough for what it did and what it can do.
India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We all know how @INCIndia has used Banks and financial institutions as personal entities and pressured bank employees to extend loans at their whim, bypassing prudent lending norms.
Let me list a few instances.
- In 1957, Haridas Mundra got money from LIC due to influence by the Congress leaders.
- In 1976, Indira Gandhi's government removed SBI Chairman R.K. Talwar after he refused political pressure to relax lending conditions for a company linked to Sanjay Gandhi's circle.
- Sanjay Gandhi pressured the Central Bank of India over loans to Maruti.
- B. Janardhana Poojary, MoS Finance under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi — pressured bank employees to issue loans in the 1980s.
- Pawan Kumar Bansal, as a minister in the UPA, pressured Canara Bank to give loans to his family-linked businesses.
The IDBI Bank was handed over to us in poor shape, as IDBI itself was forced to lend to large business groups with close connections to @INCIndia leaders such as Videocon, Winsome, ABG Shipyard, Kingfisher, etc. These turned into bad loans, causing huge losses for IDBI Bank, which we recognised.
The NDA govt led by Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi revived the IDBI bank through professionalism, prudence and recapitalisation of more than Rs 25,000 crores. The IDBI Bank is now poised for its next phase of growth.
All due process has been followed in the IDBI Bank strategic restructuring, and we have already clarified this yesterday.

Your lies with respect to Rafale had failed and were exposed. You had to apologise. The same will happen here.
Congress-era banking had a phonebook for the powerful and a rulebook for the common citizens.
The era of 'connection and setting banking' is over.
Common people now have easy access to loans, and employees are not under pressure to extend loans over the phone calls.

BREAKING: After years of our continuous follow-up and communication with the MHA Foreigners Division, Bureau of Immigration and Indian consular offices in the US, the Government of India cancelled the OCI registration of John Daniel of Laymen's Evangelical Fellowship India over Christian missionary activities in Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The Madras High Court has upheld the cancellation, finding that he had engaged in missionary preaching without the required permission.
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT?
Laymen’s Evangelical Fellowship India (LEFI), registered in Nungambakkam, Chennai, is associated with John Daniel, an Indian-born American citizen engaged in religious and missionary activities in India on behalf of the organisation while holding OCI status. LEFI’s presence is particularly notable in Andhra Pradesh’s coastal districts of Prakasam, Guntur and Nellore, and its wider network of churches across India warrants systematic documentation and scrutiny of compliance with applicable laws.
CASE OF STUARTPURAM VILLAGE, ANDHRA PRADESH?
Stuartpuram was historically associated with communities branded as “criminal tribes” under the British colonial Criminal Tribes Act of 1871. This stigma reflected colonial policies of collective suspicion and social control, not any inherent criminality of the communities concerned. From the mid-20th century, Christian organisations, including LEFI undertook outreach activities in the region involving religious conversions in the guise of moral education and employment initiatives.
Network of churches established by LEFI across India is provided below:
Andhra Pradesh: 354 Churches
Telangana: 42 Churches
Tamil Nadu: 117 Churches
Andaman & Nicobar Islands: 1 Church
Arunachal Pradesh: 5 Churches

I don’t mean to sound like Draco Malfoy, but I am pure-blooded Dehati.
My mother gave birth to me in a dark kaccha village hut on the banks of the Banas River. Dehat is the blood of her labour, soaking into that lipai floor.
That year, ecofeminists like Arundhati Roy were protesting against the construction of dams on rivers. Dams that would provide electricity to villages like mine.
My parents and I have worked very hard to get out of Dehat, and I feel so much joy when I see leftists, corrupt bureaucrats, and dynastic politicians throw tantrums when we don’t vote for them.
I am not going to romanticise the poverty my parents came from, or the spiritual environmentalism that leftists promote to keep women like my mother backward.
I will remain unapologetically anti-Dehat.
