A sound tax system is one based on the ability to pay or economic surplus. But the STT taxes the circulation of capital and not its returns, making it deeply distortionary.
Union Budget brings home to markets the unpleasant reality of fiscal dominance where RBI ends up prioritising deficit financing over its primary function of inflation control.
The Budget’s emphasis on seven ‘strategic and frontier’ manufacturing areas is clearly not random. These are areas of high import dependence, strong employment, and rising geopolitical sensitivity.
Budget 2026 does not seek to redefine India’s growth model; rather, it reinforces the existing framework characterised by fiscal restraint, public investment, and manufacturing depth.
Armenia has procured significant defence equipment from India, including artillery guns, multi-barrel rocket launchers, air defence system, sniper rifles, weapons locating radars, anti-drone weapons.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
Mark Zuckerberg took the correct decision.
These “independent” fact-checkers were never really independent to begin with. Almost all of them owed allegiance to the Democrats and an overwhelming majority of them were part of the woke non-sense going on in developed nations. These were Left-liberals with grossly misplaced, and at times idiotic, ideas such as allowing transgender athletes to participate in women’s sports competitions. Almost all of these so called “independent” fact-checkers took action against anything and everything posted on social media by the center-right or right-wing political parties across the world. While they let the center-left and extreme left get away scot-free with massive scale disinformation campaigns.
Zuckerberg is intelligent enough to realize this. One would have to be an ostrich with it’s head buried in the sand to miss this clear pattern.
The same problem manifests itself in Wikipedia too. The editors and content moderators are of the center-left or extreme-left ideology. Hence, Wikipedia articles reflect an open bias, bordering on hostility, towards the right-wing stance when dealing with sensitive political topics. Examples would be the Wikipedia pages on Narendra Modi or the BJP or the RSS.
DEI is just an idiotic idea. A bunch of not-so-bright low-IQ people, usually from the humanities and social sciences, are the chief advocates of this buffoonery. Quite unfortunately, most tech companies, utterly afraid of being politically incorrect and falling foul of the ultra-vocal Left loonies, have fallen for such ridiculous ideas.
Tampons and sanitary pads in men’s bathroom? That’s disgusting.
