“With borders compromised and leverage gone, New Delhi is now outmanoeuvred, dependent and unable to resist China’s supremacy in word or deed. This is not strength; it is submission.” telegraphindia.com/opinion/strate…
Old: lies, damn lies, statistics New: lies, IT cell lies, Ministerial lies (including the prime)
Modi overtakes Indira Gandhi... ... also in autocracy, centralisation of power, making institutions puppets, a mockery of checks & balances, corruption, communal polarisation, division of the society. Btw, the Modi balloon bursts instantly on mere mention of a press conference.
The Order of the Westarctica, Merit of Londonia, and Star of Seborga...the missed opportunity.
Oops… Modi might have already planned a visit to these countries.
“AI will take your jobs” Meanwhile the job I aspire to have:
The Exam Warrior of #NewIndia : The one who runs away from the exam centre and produces a fake distinction certificate.
I know students who try to bunk as many classes as possible when they are supposed to show the home work and face work-related tough questions in the class. PM material, I must say.
Modi is as strong as his hologram and as famous as pot holes of Indian roads.
Recently, a friend of mine was Dhankared too...
What happened to the most obedient Dhankar, except the age of 74 years? Btw, anybody can loose his/her job anytime in the BJP eco system. Except two.
Some proposed headlines for cases like the Mumbai bomb blasts: "No one cared to arrest & try the real criminals" "Innocents tortured & imprisoned for 2 aprox 2 decades, freed at last" "Lower court's lowest moment"
Symphony of dog-whistling
China 🇨🇳 is testing 600 km/hr train Japan 🇯🇵 is installing ATMs for Gold America 🇺🇸 is investing in AI + Robotics What is India 🇮🇳 doing in 2025?
“Patna banega Pune Motihari banega Mumbai” Says the God of big & small jumlas. There was a similar promise of turning Vatva (an industrial town near Ahmedabad with pollution issues) in to Vrindavan. He has an adolescent & infectious fascination for juvenile slogans.
Rich tribute for a rare golden jubilee. A treat for Naseer fans.
The great Naseeruddin Shah turns 75 today, the same year he completes 50 years in film. FIFTY! A warm, affectionate living legend I recommend you watch Mandi or Katha or Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron to celebrate. (And ofc, read my tribute to him if possible) sohinichattopadhyay.com/2025/06/50-yea…
I don’t understand this unchecked blatant Kanwariya hooliganism. Is it a recent phenomena? Are they emboldened by Yogi/Modi’s presence on top? Serious curiosity.
"Fact-check" claims by govt agencies are largely an exercise in self-attestation. The logic is like, "What we say is fact. Because we say it."
Saw a clip of @tishasaroyan on X. The patient firmness with which she was putting facts to the Godi anchors was amazing. One has to be really determined not to understand the truth after such inputs with references. Unfortunately, the Godi anchors are determined.
When did this become normal? Entire country is kept in the dark about a war-like situation? An emergency sitting of India’s Parliament should’ve been the *bare minimum*, after all, every MP is a representative of 140 crore citizens. The leader of the nation should’ve briefed the…
Each Rafaele jet was bought with $250 mn of tax payer money. We know at least 1 was shot down. Now @POTUS says total 5 jets (not all Rafaeles ) were downed. Doesn’t India deserve a post Sindoor briefing?
Calling @ajitanjum a ‘YouTuber’ won’t make him trivial just as calling Godi anchors ‘journalist’ won’t make them one.
Isn’t it obvious Mr @milinddeora ? Because headline management with lies and half truths has been the foundation of so called official position lately. You knew it before switching sides. Didn’t you?
Why are some politicians & political parties so quick to treat foreign governments’ statements as gospel, yet habitually dismiss their own country’s official position?
