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?

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

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.

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.

$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?😎.

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). .

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.

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.

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. .

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.

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. .
