This 1909 map of British India predates Partition by 38 years, and the birth of Bangladesh by 62 years. Sometimes demography really does turn out to be destiny. v ⁦Saquib Salim⁩

Notice how Americans established order by brute force. They didn't let few nuisance creators disrupt order for others. Nor did they care what the world will say. It is something to appreciate & learn from. Leaders give virtuous gyaan abroad, but do what needs to be done at home.

#WATCH | On protests at Columbia University and other Universities in the US, MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal says, 'We have seen reports on the matter and have been following related events. In every democracy, there has to be the right balance between freedom of expression,

It's downright vulgar how even the educated and well off among you have no issues with openly lusting after someone else's money. You're basically pickpockets and chain snatchers with a Twitter account, no matter how sophisticated a spin you try to put on this BS.

Since this is an era when many people are concerned about 'fairness' and 'social justice,' what is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?

I'm a rational voter who reads and understands manifestos before voting.

I read the BJP manifesto and thought it does a good job of persuading people to vote for BJP.

Then I read the Congress manifesto and saw that it does a better job of persuading people to vote for BJP.

Sam Pitroda has lived in the US (on and off) since 1964. That is 60 years. Still, he doesn't know that the US has no federal inheritance tax. This man is involved in policymaking for the Congress party.

His opinion is rebuked by Jairam Ramesh, a man who has never contested a Lok

India was dragged in the international court of op-ed opinion over CAA, that only fast tracked citizenship for religious minorities. But look at developments in the UK. No public outrage, in fact it will only improve their democracy rankings. It's not hypocrisy. It's hierarchy.

What do you call it when someone takes someone else's money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else's money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice.

Our obsession should be wealth creation, not redistribution.

1. When wealth creators are incentivised, additional wealth is created in the system.
2. When societies create excess wealth, taxation is used an instrument to uplift the poor.
3. However, taxation or redistribution…

First he came for Poha, and I didn't speak out.
Because I'm not a fan of Poha.

Then he came for Rasmalai, and I didn't speak out.
Because I prefer Rasgullas.

Then he came for Vada Pav, and I didn't speak out.
Because I moved to Samosa Pavs lately.

This is false. For an emerging economy, choice of economic model is critical. We can choose to be dirt poor because of those choices like we made from 1955 (Avadi resolution) till we went (nearly) bankrupt in 1991. Or we can choose to rely on capitalist models which work. And…
