    Economic crisis in Sri Lanka must be a humbling experience for ‘Kerala Model’ proponents. Striking similarity. No manufacturing, no high-end services, tourism-led, importing even essential food items, huge debt, remittance dependency. ‘HDI’ indices means zilch without foundation

    Just watched #TheKashmirFiles . Packed movie hall and contrary to fake propaganda being peddled by usual suspects of audiences being whipped in to a state of frenzy, it leaves them in a stunned silence. Huge respect @vivekagnihotri and his team for this courageous film.

    Official price of petrol in Sri Lanka is now 420 (assuming it is available). PS - No connection between the price and tweet below.

    This as hilarious as it gets. St.Stephens sloganeering on secularism? The institute receives 95% funds from govt but reserves 50% seats for Christians. As per constitution of St Stephen, the supreme council of the college,will have its members only from the church.

    Yesterday BJP supporters had a problem with Azaadi slogans. Now St Stephen’s and D-School students are also joining the protests. If everyone starts chanting the Azaadi anthem you can’t go about branding all of them anti-nationals. Government needs to wake up and smell the coffee

    Axis pollster Pradeep Gupta says that it was difficult to find a household in poorest states of India that has been untouched by one of Modi welfare schemes -LPG/Latrines/Rural housing/bank AC/farmer cash transfer . Sardesai calls it “Gujarat home delivery model”

    Same Kohli kept mum when teammates Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina were attacked for benign tweets by the blue ticked trolls who now shed crocodile tears for Shami. But he didn’t even voice a single word in their support.
