- "Kisaan ka Beta" visiting gaon after becoming "collector" in Defender SUV and Porsche Cayenne as escort + making hapless security guard parade in front him while he shamelessly sits on shoulders of students- this video encapsulates everything that is wrong with this country :)किसान के बेटे ने लिया था संकल्प की जब तक कलेक्टर नहीं बनूँगा तब तक गांव नहीं जाऊंगा, अब पहली बार कलेक्टर बन पहुचा गांव..! #UPSC
00:00 - Here are some gems from the report you are quoting - Kazakhstan - dictatorial regime - #122 UAE - Monarchy - #138 Singapore- One party state - #139 Hong Kong - media brutalized - #148 Turkey- 160 media outlets shut - #149 India - standing at Rajpath abusing Modi - #150!!!
- GoI is ensuring that every time Yunus uses the word "Northeast" Bangladesh loses 50 bps of its GDP :)
- Hopefully, Indian super rich will now realize that your generous funding of western institutions and lavish praise of western values may make you a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE, Third Class) but it will not save your daughter from being targeted by them.
- India suffers not because the average Indian is mediocre, but because the Indian elite is mediocre. Instead of lifting all, they create little bubbles for themselves.
- Surprisingly many who were demanding triple peer reviewed data from Bharat Biotech on Covaxin’s effectiveness have enthusiastically embraced WHO numbers without a murmur on methodology and data quality. A long semi technical thread that will beg your patience and attention 1/n
- After Korean President Lee groveled in front of Trump yesterday in full glare of the international media, a Korean friend messaged me and said if she could , she would happily trade 10% of Korean GDP for 1% of Indian self respect.
- MAGAboys were making fun of Indian Army's "Daredevils" motorcycle display. These fellows are marching like they just walked out of a Las Vegas Buffett after a night of gambling.I really thought Trump’s police state parade would look fascist and scary. Instead it’s just humiliating. Are the soldiers marching like this as a low key fuck you to Trump? Compare it to any other military parade and you’ll see what I mean.
- India obesity rate ~5% US Obesity rate~40% Most IND don't go to the gym because they don't need to. NRI Social media stars titillate "phoren" audiences with "spicy" native tales but extrapolating experience with some Uncles in family to 1.4 bn people downright silly :)Only 0.3% of Indians go to the gym. — Streets not built for walking, and air quality is low — Most food is unhealthy: fried, processed, low protein — Social events are centered around food and drink — Culturally, "life" > fitness This drastically reduces our lifespan. 1/5
- "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair"By putting 20% ETHANOL-BLENDED Petrol, has there been any car in the country that has faced issues? Just NAME ONE ~ I shouldn't say, but Petroleum LOBBY manipulates this (noise on SM)." Nitin Gadkari rubbishes apart all rumours [Source: India Today]
00:00 - This is not about Adani. This is about sending a message to Indian conglomerates and India not to get too big for their shoes by a vindictive and frustrated Biden administration.
- After being disappointed by "mediocre foods" all his life, Shiv decides to matters in to his own hand and cooks an exceptional "Ghazala Toast" :)“Do not claim acquaintance.” Sure, Ghazala.
