Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
None of Pakistan’s PMs has lasted 5 years. That the current PM has given Asim Munir 5 years shows that of all military dictatorships history has seen, Pakistan’s is most creative.
The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
Pakistan’s army has been a rentier force available to a reasonable bidder. It has never come to the aid of any Muslims including Palestinians or the Gazans, except making noises here and there.
The Telangana government, which has still not even fully absorbed the TGSRTC, is now going to take over the Hyderabad metro rail. Expectations are not high.
Instead of buying more Mirages outright in early 2000s, the requirement was tweaked in favour of a medium-weight, multi-role fighter with Mirage-like performance.
Pakistan not only has zero chance of catching up with India in most areas, but will inevitably see the gap rising. Its leaders will offer its people the same snake oil in different bottles.
How can one say that congress ideology never governed ? The secular ideology got pushed into the constitution. The socialist ideology reflected in licence raj, 96 percent incometax. The world peace ideology costed 3400 acres of land to chinna. The tolerance ideology gave free hand to terrorism.
This is a comical article. This is like trying to explain things after a goal has been scored, and saying that it is all too easy to see why it happened. Pick things you want and string together to make absolutely useless conclusion.
I wonder why he stopped short of talking about vedas, upanishad and epics, which are the root and inspiration for all the other texts.
He talks about flexibility in policies by Congress, BJP sees it as appeasement policies.
There is nothing hard to explain about BJP. They are hard core nationalist with India first in their mind and are not afraid to take gutsy decisions to move India forward. That is the fundamental here. And we are seeing amazing results!
Once you understand the above, you have understood BJP.
your articles are never straight forward, u seem to be over thinking. Try to be concise.
And this article lacks substance. It is just perspective.
The real test of Bjp’s Commitment to ideology will be when it will be WEAKER and declining.
who said BJP govt (Modi) is difficult to understand. It’s obvious, Modi does whatever he EASILY CAN (he won’t bring Swizz money though) to entertain Hindus, which is its main vote bank 85%. Whatever he does, is completely aligned with one and only one thing: Votes of Hindus.
From doing nothing to enforce 144, and preventing killings of dozens of people, to bailing RamRahim out, all this he must not have read as well.
But, Vote is Prior to Hindutva and Hindu for Modi. Think a little u will find equally many things that even RSS and Savarkar would not have allowed, which Modi is doing anyway.
All these things 370, 3 talaq, UCC, Population Control etc. are all BS political gimmicks. He is doing all these because they don’t cost any money and are extremely entertaining to his main vote bank. Manmohan was dead boring, Modi on the otherhand keeps his voters always busy.
Today, simultaneous elections too will be beneficial for Modi, that is why he is dancing for it. Why does he not seek for fair appointment of Chief Election Commissioner, after all Advani has written a book in favour of that, because he doesn’t have to and that’s extra luxury for him.
Congress couldn’t follow secularism because the idea of secularism is difficult and much higher than the instinctive idea of primitive tribalism. Congress is struggling because of its perennial priority of one parivaar over party. Bjp is much better organisation than any other party of india.
1.4 billion Indians, one sixth of the human race. Joining the First World by 2047 is not feasible, although PM LKY completed that journey for Singapore in a generation. For this vast political capital to translate into better HDI scores, continuing material improvements for the lower one half of households. That would change India internally and its place in the world.
I guess this explains why this government focuses on more long term goals whereas the last one concerned itself with short-sighted and ad-hoc policy making which was disastrous.
If you hear the dhun sung by Vishnu Paluskar’s son DV Paluskar on YouTube, you will not find eashwar alla tero naam. These words were added by someone else.

What took Shekhar Gupta such a long time to find this out? Elite contempt for anything Desi?
