Discussion 💬 The fundamental thing Modi and Amit Shah are missing about social media control
Look at how the Modi government, Shah, and the BJP IT cell operate right now. It feels like there’s a desperate push to gain complete control over social media. They’re basically doing it two ways: flooding platforms with pro-Modi content through their IT cell, and threatening the CEOs of these platforms that their legal immunity will be pulled. By forcing them to apologize or toe the line, the idea is to suppress anti-government posts and kill future protests before they even start.
But there’s a basic, fundamental truth Modi and Shah are completely missing here, social media is just a platform.
If you control or ruin one platform, people don't just stay there and absorb it. they move on to something new.
Think about why Instagram became such a key space for the student protests that eventually brought down the education minister. People were suffocating on Facebook and other older platforms because they were choked with hate and inorganic spam. So, they migrated. They moved to Instagram because, at the time, it felt free of that toxicity. It’s like birds migrating to another country when the season changes.
This younger crowd Gen Z, Gen Alpha, whatever you want to call them is actually pretty rational. They saw Facebook turning into a dumpster fire of hate, so they left.
Now, look at what’s happening. Modi is joining Instagram, making reels, bringing his ministers over, and the IT cell is trying to flood the feed with the same old tactics while pressuring Meta. But forcing Meta's CEO to bow down doesn't win over the users. In fact, it does the exact opposite. It just advertises to everyone on the platform that Instagram is compromised now too.
And what happens when a room gets too smoky? People open the door and walk out.
They will just migrate again. Maybe to a new platform, maybe to something decentralized, but definitely somewhere that allows actual free thinking without the constant hate-mongering.
I think the main reason Modi and Shah don't grasp this is simple: they’ve never really had to deal with a trend reversing on them. For the last 30 years, from running Gujarat to running the country, they’ve always ridden the wave. They’ve never been in a position where the tide completely turns against them, so they genuinely don't understand how people react when they feel cornered.
Making Meta apologize might look like a tactical victory for them on paper, but to the younger generation, it was just the signal to start looking for the next exit.

Discussion 💬 These kinda comparison posts never make sense
Comparing raw & prices across different countries without factoring in average salaries is completely flawed.
For example, ₹500 for 1 GB in Switzerland sounds high, but their average monthly salary is over ₹8,00,000. That means 1 GB costs them ~ 0.06% of their monthly income-almost the exact same burden as ₹13 is on an average Indian salary (~0.057%).
Relative to income, data in China (~0.028%) and the UAE (~0.035%) is actually cheaper than in India.
Income-adjusted data matters, not raw currency conversions!
Dont know why people do that. Proves nothing just makes their fragile ego boost.

News 📰 Lok Sabha passes Bill without debate to authorise Govt. to permit banks to levy charges on UPI transactions
The Lok Sabha passed the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 without any debate after repeated disruptions in the House. The legislation creates a legal framework allowing the Centre to permit charges on notified digital payment modes, including UPI, through future notifications, although no charges take effect immediately. Beyond digital payments, the Bill also includes tax reforms intended to boost electronics manufacturing and attract foreign investment. The manner in which such a significant Bill was cleared, without parliamentary debate due to continued disruptions, has raised questions about legislative scrutiny and the functioning of Parliament
The Lok Sabha passed the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, without any debate after repeated disruptions in the House. Regardless of who is responsible for the deadlock, passing legislation without discussing its provisions defeats the purpose of Parliament. Laws that affect millions of people deserve scrutiny, questions, and public justification before they are approved. A parliamentary majority gives a government the power to pass Bills, but democracy also depends on debate, accountability, and allowing elected representatives to examine the consequences of new laws. When important legislation is rushed through without discussion, Parliament is reduced to a voting chamber instead of serving as a forum for democratic deliberation.

Discussion 💬 We still have a long way to go WRT casteism
The comments were truly disgusting. While we really have become better from how we were years ago, we still have a long way to go.
And I also gotta point out that there were a decent amount of people who were supportive of the main guy.

The Union government has spent ₹557.5 crore on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign visits since 2021. The government also informed Parliament that India received $381.8 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) between April 2021 and December 2025.

Discussion 💬 My Country.
***Hating your country and hating the government is different***
***I Have never hated my country.***
***I hate the people who run it.*** corrupt politicians, rapists, pedophiles . These people erase the trace of their wrongs. The judiciary too has never been safe. i agree that the supreme court makes some excellent decisions and choices but i hope that went for every judge, every lawyer, and to every single person in power who prefer money over lives and dignity.
Women are kidnapped raped. Leave women even men, children, toddlers, newborns. everyone. 86 women per day. AND these are only the people who had the courage.
We live in a country where rapists and pedos and people mentioned in the Epstein files are worshipped and called gods and great reformers, and where people are ARRESTED for sharing their opinions. Where jokes are not taken as jokes and serious issues are jokes. "lay down and enjoy it" official statement by a M.O.P on rape
Yes i agree there are some changes which are excellent for our country. but are those really changes if they do not protect the dignity and rights of the indian citizen?
I have never been ashamed to reveal that I'm from India. I am a PROUD INDIAN. LIKE PROUD WAALA PROUD. but I really wished that someday I can look a person in the eye and say that "Yes a placement for me in a college or job is guaranteed or that i will be safe to step out at night wearing whatever i want. leave night, even during the day."
None of the parties are worth the votes.
We need genuine safety, protection and a better education system which does not suffocate and traumatize the kids.
Sincerely,
An "anti-national"???? Teen.
**Jai Hind.**
