Karnataka is not Dravidanadu.
The Bandra Worli Sea Link was also initiated by a BJP/ NDA government. Nitin Gadkari was the PWD minister of Maharashtra then.
But why is INC Kerala getting so worked up about infrastructure in Maharashtra?
Dear Rashmika Mandanna Ji,
The nation has seen paid ads and surrogate ads before. This is the first time we are seeing an ED-directed ad. It came out well. Good job!
We noticed that the Atal Setu appears practically empty from your ad. Being from Kerala, we initially thought
During the pandemic, Russia quietly sold India Sputnik V and signed a deal with multiple Indian firms to locally produce it.
US refused to give up their mRNA technology. They banned exports of raw materials required for a vaccine they didn't approve. Totally fucked us over.
Apple announced this feature in 2021. Three years later we still only have four states available.
If I can add my drivers license to my iPhone, that means I can leave the house every time with just my phone.

Happy to contribute in the win. Credits to the whole team and especially Abdullah Shafique and Hassan Ali for making it easier.
Extremely grateful to the people of Hyderabad for the amazing hospitality and support throughout.
My family lost a member in the Kanishka blast that was carried out by Khalistanis.
If you think it's okay to roam around with a flag belonging to a bunch of blood thirsty terrorists, then the hate is well deserved and not without reason.
The fact us walking with a Khalistan flag seems to anger so many people tells us a lot about our community. We literally can never win, we post us out, get hate, we post us wearing suits holding our flag, get hate. I pray this cycle of backwards thinking soon ends.
Dei. You guys sent an Aircraft Carrier to defend Pakistan that was committing a genocide against its own people and simultaneously fighting with India, the ONLY successful democracy in South Asia.
At least we don't go around with napalm and mustard gas like the Yanks.
Also, India. Don't ever let the Gandhi spiritualism and yoga ashrams nonsense hide the fact that India is no different from China and Russia as an amoral great power actor in world affairs. Never an ally of the U.S.

Entirely deliberate. The west is trying to so with India what they did with Ukraine. Free press is a myth. They're on the payroll someone or the other, mostly the US State Department.
Modi has run the most pro US government India has ever seen. More pro US than even Vajpayee and Morarji Desai.
Biden has meanwhile outdone Richard Nixon in being anti India.
How else to read this. ICET meeting fact sheet getting released even as video of Nikhil Gupta extraction is put out.
India has a long memory. Biden just set back the relations by a decade atleast.
Just FYI.
If you think Pune Bangalore is not a viable HSR corridor, take a look at the buses and flights between the two.
If you think that nobody would take a his between the two cities, you have absolutely no idea of the ground reality.
First five IITs wouldn't have been possible without the support of the US, UK, West Germany, Soviet Union and and IISc without the support of Tata and the Mysore Kingdom.
Don't see you guys credit them anywhere. Or even BC Roy for IIT Kharagpur.
India was built brick by brick. The contribution of Pandit Nehru or Indira Gandhi cannot be diminished by the propaganda machinery of the BJP
Must hear one of India’s tallest industry leader - the founder of Infosys - Mr NR Narayan Murthy
Indian bureaucracy and judiciary are both beyond repair. They don't need reforms. They need a complete overhaul.
The existing set-up needs to be dismantled and a new structure needs to come up, one that will bar the existing establishment from being part of it immediately.
Agitation/Drama on the streets of Srinagar (Kmr) against installation of electric meters. Electric Meters meant for installation at people’s houses are broken into pieces. People are used to free electricity. Nobody pays electricity bills in Kashmir(as part of their entitlement)
Article 19 of India's constitution guarantees freedom of expression EXCEPT if it offends the "sovereignty & integrity of India, security... public order, decency or morality" or leads to "defamation or incitement to an offence."
These pop songs violate all of those, no?
Why should we?
US never stood by us against China (eg: 1962, 2013, 2017, 2020).
US stood by Pakistan when it was committing a genocide on Bengali Hindus. USSR sent its Navy to scare US off.
Biden launched a propaganda war against us during second wave.
“India has little to lose by throwing its lot in with the United States and Europe, and it ought to use Russia’s invasion as an opportunity to boldly shift away from Moscow.”
Why do newspapers only talk about the number of trees that are to be felled for a public transport project but never about the trees cut down by the real estate sector?
Why should India offer Pakistan any assistance?
Pakistan is ungrateful and its sole existence is to see India and its Hindus eliminated. Why should India even have an iota of goodwill?
"I haven't seen any signs of it", says Pak FM Bhutto on India Pakistan reset. Adds,'India is not one of the countries that have offered assistance' when it comes to floods.
Now you understand why companies prefer the BJP.
Because Congress will drag everyone thru the mud.
They did it with Paytm, PhonePe, Serum Institute, Bharat Biotech, among others.
One of the things I want to see in my life is to see TNRDC build expressways in TN and KRDCL in Karnataka just like what MSRDC and UPEIDA has done in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
Exactly. Hitler is only considered evil because his victims were white. Had he gone after Africa instead, he'd be on the same pedestal as that other asshole Churchill.
Anti-Christian vigilantes in India — many with help from the police and members of the country’s governing party — are sweeping through villages, storming churches and assaulting worshipers, government documents and dozens of interviews revealed.

It is Aarey Milk Colony. Not a forest.
There are no thousands of tribals there and the total number trees to be cut stands at 2,700 which as far as mathematics goes is nowhere near "lakhs".

Hi
@DrSJaishankar
this is patently unfair.
£850 is a ridiculous amount of money for Pakistani origin people to pay to visit India.
It should be at least £1500 and they should be made to pay a deposit of that amount to the Indian fov as well.
This Pakistani British couple think that India is the worst country to travel with a British passport when it’s their Pakistan passport that was the problem.
Let’s hope they never get to enter!

I’m hearing the government is now working on serious judicial reforms. Expect a bill within the next 2-3 months. Some proposals include serious checks and balances on judges including for intemperate remarks & an end to the collegium.
@spectatorindex
Now do per capita
UK’s 🇬🇧 per capita is $46,000
India’s 🇮🇳 per capita is $2,260
India has a population of 1.4 Billion while UK has a population of 67 million, that’s 21 times less
If India had the same GDP that UK has now, everyone there would be living off of sticks and stones
Lakshadweep should have been a Desi Maldives.
Unfortunately our previous governments did nothing for the region. The current government has tried but then comes the demographic problem.
Lakshadweep recorded GST collection of ₹3 crore in April 2023
Maldives earns roughly MVR 2.5 billion (roughly ₹1300 crore) GST revenue per month in tourist season
The West has *NEVER* helped India during China's transgressions, be it 1962, 2013, 2017 or 2020.
What partnership are we talking about?
Zero times zero is zero.
Take a step back, and you will see many a positive.
1. NDA (with BJP carrying the most burden), won a third consecutive mandate in India. Not a child's play. Accusations and recriminations aside, there is no denying the moment.
2. BJP has made inroads into almost all states.
Global Democracy rankings are a sham.
India let a bunch of hooligans' riot in the name of a farmer's "protest" and gets labelled as an electoral autocracy with democratic backsliding and shit.
Canada literally went full Hitler on truckers and is a beacon of democracy.ocray.
Says a lot. Finland third in global democracy rankings. Nordics top 4. India 85th.
We are all working towards the same aim.
I have a lot of admiration and respect for what India is doing in the fields of democracy and diversity.
Bigger challenges in bigger countries.

By the end of this week, Naveen Patnaik will overtake Jyoti Basu to become the second-longest serving Chief Minister in India and given that there is no real opposition to him, he'll in all likelihood become the longest serving CM in Indian history next August.
Lol. Pakistan illegally occupies one part of my country and China illegally occupies another.
No western nation has ever supported India, none have condemned either Pakistan or China for it.
Take the false equivalences elsewhere.
@IndusFederalist
I was talking more about how India, which one might think wouldn't like the precedent that a minority-majority border province can be forcibly annexed to a neighbor, won't stand up for Ukraine because they are dependent on Russia for arms and ammo/parts.
You're missing the larger point. It is to convince the Americans that India is effed up and tomorrow if the US wants to impose sanctions, wage war (conventional, economic or otherwise), such articles drum up public support.
People surprised with NYT being so disconnected from reality are missing the point. The article is not meant for Indians but American audiences who can feel good about themselves after reading about crazy events taking place in third world countries, and how their life is better.

I enjoyed visiting India and seeing the impact of the decades-long US-India partnership up close. What we have achieved together is exceptional—and can be a model for development partnerships worldwide.

the other day. The Golden Arches Theory is literally the dumbest and most cringeworthy thing to come out of the stable of American Exceptionalism.
To India, the United States has always been an unreliable entity, be it Kennedy's flipflops over the 1962 war, Nixon's support for the Islamic genocide of 1972 or Biden's war against Indian Pharma in 2021.
“The longer Russia prosecutes its war without India changing its position, the more likely the United States will be to view India as an unreliable partner. It may not want to, but ultimately New Delhi will have to pick between Russia and the West.”
This is what fascism looks like.
