Why blame HAL and not the government? Successive governments have known for long that procurement was jammed and that squadrons were depleting. We blame HAL for this, BCCI for #AsiaCup2025. Are they running the country?
All China 🇨🇳 has to do Is give four squadrons to Pakistan 🇵🇰 They are at par 5 more And they have an upper hand When HAL will wake up from it’s deep sleep 🛌 Every time they give us timelines, which they know can’t be achieved In the bargain, they prevent IAF from shopping
What’s farcical is that England could not win because they batted too long. And they did so because they themselves wanted Stokes to get to a big hundred. #BBCCricket #ENGvIND
"This is a bit of a farcical end to what's been a brilliant Test match. The game is more important than individuals." Were India right not to choose to shake hands and end the game? #BBCCricket #ENGvIND
It will end 2-2. The desperation at the end by England to end the game was telling. They are knackered. #INDvsENG
3-1 prediction is perfectly placed now .. #ENGvsIND
Some transformation/modernisation steps in 11.5-lakh Army: —Creation of new #Rudra all-arms brigades —#Bhairav light commando battalions —#Shaktibaan artillery regiments, with special #Divyastra surveillance/loitering munitions batteries —All infantry units to have #DronePlatoons
No sir, @imjadeja did not get a hundred against Harry Brook - He got this hundred against the entire bowling attack - Under extreme pressure - Fighting for his team with their backs against the wall !! Use part-timers to save your bowlers but don’t disrespect someone’s effort!
The English players behaved boorishly at the end. Jadeja and Sundar had every right to get to their well earned hundreds. Is it their fault that Stokes and his men ran out of stamina? They should work on lasting longer. #INDvsENG #ENGvsIND
Amazing performance by the team to salvage a draw. Let’s learn the right lessons though. For now we should savour this performance. The fight shown in the second innings. Incredible. Let’s go and win the next one! #INDvENG #INDvsENGTest #INDvsENG
A test match to forget. Unless we draw from here. Selections went horribly wrong. Tactics as well. #INDvsENG #INDvENG
Shubman Gill has led from the front with his batting. But his captaincy can and will improve. #INDvsENGTest #INDvENG
I would support a political movement that has this platform: 1) Pro-capitalism and meritocracy. Economic reforms a top priority. 2) a sincere belief in limited government 3) an uncompromising, consistent stance on national security Unfortunately no such outfit exists.
Blind supporters who only read/follow people they agree with and go around enforcing ideological purity or have unquestioning faith in leadership are doing the biggest disservice to the party/ideology they claim to support. That’s how you end up with echo chambers.
Creative destruction. Old jobs are lost. Old business models evolve or perish. New jobs get created. Unimpeded the problem leads to the solution. That’s how an economy works. Maybe 12,000 better jobs will be created.
India’s youth and working age need to understand a simple fact. Either we back reforms and accelerate growth to create the new jobs we need or we will convert our demographic dividend into a curse. Socialism is not the answer. Nor is fighting for scraps of a shrinking pie.

Even accounting for the bowling in this test, India have done better in England than they did in India the last time around. And they left our shores saying that the score line didn’t reflect how close that series was. #INDvsENG #INDvENG
Really like this structure.
✨ The Oculus at World Trade Center is more than just an incredible building, it’s a symbol of hope, healing, and remembrance. Designed by architect Santiago Calatrava to resemble a dove in flight, the Oculus represents peace and rebirth rising from tragedy. Its soaring white…
Probably any hill station that is easily accessible from NCR. So anything less than a 9 hour drive
Which is India’s worst hill station?
Country > Party > an Individual > blind party supporters, most of whom are Johnny-come-latelys
We should keep investing in Washington Sundar. Regardless of what happens in this test. #INDvsENG #INDvENG
Given that Bofors charges didn’t lead to the kind of investigation and convictions we would have wanted to see, the whole episode (accusation and counter-accusation) seems to have been disastrously detrimental to procurement. Look at our squadron strength.
