Why blame BCCI? As if they can make any call w/o GOI concurrence. If GOI cannot go the whole 9 yards on Pak, churlish to blame pvt entities. .
Will someone broadcast this outside the BCCI HQs in India?. Grieving father of an Indian Navy officer killed during the Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir. Is India Versus Pakistan cricket match in Asia Cup more important than standing against terrorism?

BKK has visually improved manifold in the last 20 yrs. Wide footpaths, good construction, general cleanliness.
Look at these streets in Bangkok, crisp markings, bold colors, everything looks organized and visually clean. It’s not just about safety, it’s about how a city feels. Why can’t we bring this level of detail to our roads? @mybmc @PMOIndia @CMOMaharashtra

Pune's roads (like Bangalore's) exist to give brownie pts to BMC. Cosmopolitanism is v shallow/skin-deep.
Many Indian cities have potential but their problems are intractable with long-term solutions. Except Pune. If Pune gets 5 years of decisive and capable leadership at the municipal level - there is zero possibility that it won’t be India’s most liveable city.

Shd remain a free public good. A vv apt use of taxpayer money, and it will cost far less than free bus tickets to women or some such fashionable use. .
Free UPI has borne good fruits, but cost of service has to be paid: RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra

ARC, adjunct of RAW, has one of the oldest drone fleets in the cntry. As does NTRO. .
R&AW should be authorised raise a new drone force akin to the SBU but with the USFs scale. Make it exclusively civilian, pay the engineers a ton of cash & put them to use fighting all manner of dirty wars in our extended neighborhood.

Wonder how many yrs J&K was kept under Governor's rule, across political dispensations?.
President’s Rule for another six months in Manipur? India has never run a democracy like this before. now certify the ‘Leaderless Era’ as official!.

Indian Army churns out "commando" units as precociously as China churns out navy ships😎😎.
Interesting announcements by Indian Amry chief:. - The army has formed a special strike force "Bhairav Light Commando Unit" for cross-border raids and direct assaults. - In the artillery, the Shaktiban regiment has been set up, which will be equipped with a drone, counter-drone,.

$1.5bn bird w/a life of only 3 yrs? Rather fishy - seems too expensive for merely a science experiment project. Maybe there's more to it behind the gee-whiz?😎.

By the time Indira was done, India was below sub-saharan Africa in economic status. No one can possibly do worse. .

On paper, he's no mug - gutsy player + trophy-winning captain/coach in IPL. But inherited a team that was past its peak in test cricket + not a grt ideas guy (in T20 generally a purple patch by 2/3 chaps takes the team thru). .
Question for cricket fans: Was this man chosen as India’s coach for his competence, fairness and deep knowledge of the sport? All responses welcome.

Chaps who think all linen are finer/pricier than Giza45👇.
Haan Panditji, but "Pure" Linen is superior and pricier. The beauty of caste is that it works as long as its hierarchical nature is accepted and not laughed at.

Veg/non-veg kerfuffle is inverse Hanlon at play. Guys w/bees in their bonnets abt "pure" are the type who dont discern between Makaibari first flush and Taj Mahal tea mixes😎.
Pure veg means, no meat. What's so difficult to comprehend? If you exclude onion and garlic that becomes Satvik. one above pure wool to pure lambswool, or indeed pure Cashmere. Or if you prefer the difference between Salmon Roe and Caspian Beluga.

Operation Schrodinger's Cat! No one quite knows if its live or not, how many Rafales were downed (or not downed), China colluded (or didnt).
What does "Operation Sindoor still continues" mean?.

The ans is but obviously no. Difference is 4tr vs 30tr. But the good news is, only a few can realistically emigrate, the number going down w/anti-immigration sentiments everywhere. .
The question this raises has been the same for a long time: Could Aravind Srinivas achieve his full potential without leaving India?.

Myth👇. India's per-capita, in the 1700s, was half of European levels. Aggregate GDP was higher becoz of higher population. Enduring can on mughals is how India stagnated while Europe shot up thks to industrial revolution. .
An average Indian had been more well off and content in his standard of living than an average Englishman. Yet now runs a planned propaganda to distort history and show that the Mughals were plunderers. The entire video is available on YouTube for those interested in it to

Yom Kippur war was rather successful for Israel. Yet the govt got qtn-ed by its polity, an enquiry commission sacked the entire mil-intel leadership. Its called democracy. .
India’s opposition will talk how India was isolated during OP Sindoor and will ask for proof of attacks , But will not talk about how isolated Pakistan is and how much damage was inflicted by Indian armed forces on Pakistan. Opposition cry about failed diplomacy but stay silent.

6 more Rafale + 3 F35 = $70-80bn = 60-70% of IAF's capex budget over the next 10 yrs, assuming 10% growth. Mungeri Lal dreams were less audacious.
IAF sqn strength around 2030. IAF planning . 8 Rafale.13 Su-30.11 Tejas mk I.6 Tejas Mk II.3 F-35 / Su-57. Should be. 15 Su-30.4 Rafale .11 Tejas mk I.10 Tejas Mk II.2 AMCA.

Even if this👇 is true (vv doubtful Xavi will come down to India's level), its good to have not broken the bank. Indian footballers are pathetic quality, no elite coach can mould them into World Cup level. Need better quality raw material first. .
🚨| 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐈𝐍: Barça legend Xavi had applied for the job of head coach of the Indian National Team, but they turned down the opportunity as they couldn't afford the financial terms of the deal. It was beyond their reach. [@MarcusMergulhao] #fcblive 🇮🇳
