There is still so much support for & faith in Congress Party across India. Wish the party stopped "playing dead" & become more pro-active .
Lost: Indian Opposition
Today, was taking a cab ride. The driver was a BJP voter. By the end of the ride, I was able to convert him into a potential Congress voter.
He had no idea about the issues our economy is facing, the job losses, slowdown, electoral bonds etc.
The reason why most people don't know anything about this is a mute opposition.
Most people are not Bhakts. They will vote if they understand the issues. The opposition needs to go out and explain it to them.
In Indian history, there have been few dynasties as good as that of Kakatiyas of Warangal. They were of Shudra origin, and unlike many other Shudra origin Kings were happy to accept this. They did not try to trace their origin to the sun, or moon or to some God.
Almost half of their nobleman were from humble background and there was general upward social mobility during this time.
Sai VishalIn a forest the Lion, Tiger, Giraffe, Monkey, Snake and a Goldfish in a bowl went to Jungle school to learn. While everyone learned even though they came from different races, the Goldfish had to keep jumping out of her bowl just to let listen. Kept struggling till the class ended and yet couldn't learn.
We still ignore Children with Learning Disabilities like the Goldfish.

Random reminder to not give in to propaganda and fact check everything:
When Muslim rulers of North (specifically Khilji) first thought of venturing into the Deccan, the first empire to fall down was Devagiri of the illustrious Yadavas.
During the war, Yadavas were winning. That is when Khilji manufactured a hoax that 20,000 fresh cavalry were on their way. At a distance, he sent 1000 horses to create a dust storm. Yadavas gave in.
Never believe anything until you see it.
*Lit. Alert*
Shooting An Elephant:
A moving short-story by Geroge Orwell, chronicling his experience of shooting an elephant while serving as a police officer in British Burma. It lays bare the human tendency of giving in to
populism. Whether it be demagogues destroying nations, cheered on by the crowd, or judges allowing popular demands to cloud their sense of reason, this story beautifully depicts how the actions unfold within the mind of the protagonist.
@IshaKaushik @pinankin_writes it never caught on because it's Ambani and he controls media and also relationship with Modi. There's a CAG report.
Here are some media links:
Try finding the CAG report for full details. CAG accused DoT of causing losses by not liberalizing the spectrum during auctions. The losses were to the tune of 22,000 crores. Later the report was junked. #india #airtel
@IshaKaushik @pinankin_writes There's an elaborate scam behind this. I found abt it during a legal internship. We found that a certain spectrum, which was best suited for 4g, was reserved by the govt for broadband. Hence, no company showed interest. A random co. bought it at throw away prices. Few days later Reliance acquired it. A month or so later govt. allowed the spectrum to be used for mobile services. Voila. Jio becomes the king of the market, while others die out. #india
