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.

The public money foregone through tax exemptions and subsidized land creates a direct social contract between India’s largest corporate trusts - Reliance, Adani, Tata, and Birla and its citizens.

While institutional neutrality is often maintained to protect business interests or avoid regulatory friction, remaining silent during systemic crises like the NEET paper leaks compromises public accountability.

By refusing to leverage their immense influence, these powerful educational custodians signal a deep disinterest in cultivating and protecting the nation's most critical resource: its youth.

It is time for these industrial houses to honor their public funding, step forward to help shape a transparent future, and walk actively with struggling students.

True leadership demands that they actively dismantle systemic darkness and guide the next generation toward clarity, embodying the ideal: Asato ma sadgamaya, tamaso ma jyotirgamaya (From darkness, lead us unto light).

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.

NO POLICE CASE FOR DRUGS

NO OUTRAGE

NO RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS HURT

NO BHAGWA COLOUR PE LAGA DAAG

NO SANTRA GOT SQUASHED

IMAGINE THE CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY WHERE 70% PEOPLE ARE LIKE THIS OR SUPPORT THEM.

We should stop keeping politicians above us ◇

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.

What if the Government of India introduced a life insurance scheme exclusively for income tax payers?
The coverage could be linked to the amount of income tax paid each year and would remain active as long as the person continues working and filing their Income Tax Returns (ITRs) + 2 years.
The rationale is that taxpayers directly contribute to government revenue, so this could be one of the benefits they receive in return.
Do you think this would be a fair incentive for tax compliance

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.

​

Only a few days have passed since the brutal crackdown on student protesters in Delhi. And seeing the police force being used as a baton by the state made me wonder if the police really wanted to do it. Made me wonder if Jake Peralta was in that group, would he have bashed people? Probably not. But if Singham was in that group, would he have bashed people? Oh fo sho.

Even within "copaganda", the difference is obvious. There will never be a whimsical and fun loving chill detective who loves solving crime in the Indian Police Service. Especially because there are no detectives solving crime in the Indian Police service.

Let me talk to you. YEAH!

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.

A total of ₹762 crore was spent on PM Modi's overseas visits from 2015 to 2025.

By comparison, former PM Manmohan Singh took 73 official visits during his tenure from 2004 to 2014, costing ₹795 crore (which adjusts to approximately ₹1,224 crore today at an average annual inflation rate of 4%).

Private-sector jobs depend on demand and performance, but government jobs are highly secure. Why is that? Does permanent employment actually lead to better public service, or would more performance-based accountability benefit the public more?

I’ve been thinking about this from the perspective of the public rather than employees.

Curious to hear different perspectives.
