For India to sustain its growth momentum and protect the purchasing power of its middle class, comprehensive fiscal reforms are urgent. The taxation framework needs structural corrections: eliminating Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax on investments, rationalizing GST rates

Credit card interest in India is already astronomical 42% APR +on top of that, 18% GST is slapped on the interest amount, pushing the effective burden to nearly 50%! ​Why treat it taxable "service" when standard loan interest is exempt? ​@FinMinIndia @PMOIndia @RBI @GST_Council

Andhra’s cash-for-babies scheme for the 3rd & 4th child is dangerously misguided. We need a healthy & skilled population. Not a malnourished & poorly skilled populace. Invest in nutrition, schools & skills. @JaiTDP

This is basically the upper-middle-class Indian endgame: make enough money that your contact with India becomes optional. Gated society, home delivery, remote work, one reliable maid, one dog, one car, and frequent vacations abroad when the background dysfunction gets too exhausting. This is a rational response to the daily friction of Indian urban existence.
I know a married couple who live in same society as I do. Both work from home, with a combined package of over 60 - 70 lakhs. Have a car but hardly go out. Have a pet dog and full-time house help. Rarely go out thanks to Blinkit, Swiggy, UrbanClap, etc. They take one foreign trip every 3-4 months. This is the new lifestyle that many urban couples are living today - either inside a gated society or a flight abroad.

🚨A luxury store in Turkey is showcasing a yellow Balenciaga bag priced at $1,790, versatile and water-resistant. How much would you pay for it?

5/ Corruption isn’t just immoral. It’s an economic tax on the poor and middle class. You pay through higher taxes, worse services, and stolen futures.

6/ Diverse countries don’t fail. Corrupt institutions do. Stop fighting sideways. Start demanding accountability upward.

This is the start of my thread on #Budget2026. Please be aware that I'm prone to dad jokes, meandering segues and in general, commentary that might not enhance your life in any meaningful way whatsoever. I've been doing this a while now, so if you're familiar, welcome back!

India's govt is set to rake in ~$10B from LTCG tax this year. If we exempt LTCG entirely? Could unlock $100-200B in wealth creation via more investments, turnover & risk-taking. Plus, offset via higher consumption taxes, income tax & GST from booming activity! @PMOIndia

Apparently, in 2025, “reading Wikipedia and watching a podcast” now qualifies you as a historian, as long as you yell about “Indic frameworks” and tweet in caps. So let’s talk, slowly and academically, about why formal training in history is, in fact, necessary. 🧵

Sunjay Dutt enters the fray in #Dhurandhar and a familiar tune immediately starts playing – a song that has won hearts for nearly 40 years now: Hawa Hawa. Today we tell you about the fascinating yet tragic story of its OG creator. 1/20

Yesterday’s selloff was paper-led, not organic. As price fell, the spot–futures spread moved towards backwardation. That should not happen in a genuine risk-off liquidation. In an organic selloff, paper and physical stay aligned, Instead, we saw a paper–physical disconnect: paper was pushed lower while physical refused to follow completely That tells you the pressure was in derivatives, not in real metal. Paper can be sold infinitely. Physical can’t, and it’s quietly tightening beneath the surface again. #Silver

(🧵 A Thread), Everyone Sees Metals Ripping. Nobody Understands Why Miners Aren’t. I Found the Missing Link. 1/10 #Silver is going vertical #Gold is surging. Metals look incredibly strong… So why are miners lagging? It’s the biggest confusion in the space right now. And the answer is far simpler, and more revealing, than people think.

THREAD, We Just Discovered the Most Important Monetary Shift of the 21st Century, And Nobody Is Talking About It 1/13 ⚠️ What I’m about to lay out is not speculation. It’s a fully traceable sequence of geopolitical, financial, and market events that reveals a new global reserve structure being built outside the US dollar. A discovery that has never been discussed publicly. Read carefully. 🧵👇
