I’d like to thank every single person who came out today for this protest. I'd also like to thank the millions of people who showed support in their own way at 3pm. Thank you to the leaders of INDIA bloc, all the workers of the Congress party and workers of the INDIA bloc.
Today was a very important day because we needed to show the government that the people of India are not going to be intimidated. You cannot beat us, threaten us, frighten us. We will not accept being bullied.
I was wondering where the cowards of the RSS who were beating the young children day before yesterday were. Where were those people? Because I didn’t see them.
When we are standing there and when the people of India are standing there, why don’t you come out? Why don’t you wear your little scarves and come out and see what happens?
Because you’re essentially, like the Prime Minister of India, bullies. You cannot stand up. You can only use power to fight.
So, it’s very heartening to see what happened. I’m proud of everybody. Everybody worked like a team.
As I said in my press conference, there are no parallel protests. It’s one protest, and it’s a protest where everybody is standing together. Every single person is going to stand against these killers of our Constitution, these killers of our democracy. And we’re not going to back down.
I’d also like to thank everybody from civil society organisations who came, supported us. We value your support, and we love all of you.
Thank you all for coming out and defending the idea of India, the idea of the Constitution, the idea of our democracy.
I’m extremely proud of every single person who came out on the streets. Thank you.
आज के इस विरोध प्रदर्शन में शामिल होने वाले हर एक व्यक्ति का मैं दिल से धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ। उन करोड़ों लोगों का भी धन्यवाद, जिन्होंने दोपहर 3 बजे अपने-अपने तरीके से इस आंदोलन को समर्थन दिया। INDIA गठबंधन के नेताओं, कांग्रेस पार्टी के सभी कार्यकर्ताओं और INDIA गठबंधन के तमाम कार्यकर्ताओं का भी बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद।
आज का दिन बेहद महत्वपूर्ण था, क्योंकि हमें सरकार को यह दिखाना था कि भारत की जनता डरने वाली नहीं है। आप हमें मारिए, धमकाइए, डराने की कोशिश कीजिए, लेकिन हम डरने वाले नहीं हैं। हम आपकी गुंडागर्दी बर्दाश्त नहीं करेंगे।
मैं सोच रहा था कि RSS के वो कायर लोग कहाँ थे, जो परसों हमारे युवा साथियों को पीट रहे थे? कहाँ थे वो लोग? आज तो मुझे उनमें से कोई दिखाई नहीं दिया।
जब हम वहाँ खड़े हैं, जब देश की जनता वहाँ खड़ी है, तो तुम बाहर क्यों नहीं आते? अपनी छोटी-छोटी गमछियाँ पहनकर क्यों नहीं बाहर आते हो और देखते हो कि क्या होता है?
क्योंकि तुम भी देश के प्रधानमंत्री की तरह सिर्फ़ गुंडागर्दी करना जानते हो। तुममें सामने आकर खड़े होने की हिम्मत नहीं है। तुम सिर्फ़ सत्ता और ताक़त के दम पर लड़ सकते हो।
इसलिए आज जो कुछ हुआ, उसे देखकर बहुत खुशी होती है। मुझे आप सभी पर गर्व है। सबने एक टीम की तरह काम किया।
जैसा कि मैंने अपनी प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में कहा था, ये अलग-अलग प्रदर्शन नहीं हैं। यह एक ही आंदोलन है, जिसमें हम सब एक साथ खड़े हैं।
हममें से हर एक व्यक्ति संविधान के इन हत्यारों, हमारे लोकतंत्र को कुचलने वालों के ख़िलाफ़ खड़ा होगा। और हम एक कदम भी पीछे नहीं हटेंगे।
मैं उन सभी सिविल सोसाइटी संगठनों का भी दिल से धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ, जो आज हमारे साथ आए और जिन्होंने हमारा समर्थन किया। आपके समर्थन की हम कद्र करते हैं। हम आप सभी से मोहब्बत करते हैं।
भारत की सोच, हमारे संविधान के विचार और हमारे लोकतंत्र की रक्षा के लिए आज सड़कों पर उतरने वाले हर व्यक्ति का धन्यवाद।
मुझे उन सभी लोगों पर बेहद गर्व है, जो आज सड़कों पर उतरे।
बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद!

Update: She has been found and is now with lawyers. She was being held at a police station, but when we checked earlier, we were told she wasn’t there. We have now been informed that she is at the very same police station. She is bruised up so getting her MLC done. More power to the young lawyers who are still running around.
The police lied about Aranya being at RML...... RML staff has denied that Aranya is there.
@DelhiPolice please answer

मोगैम्बो मोदी ने भारत के लोकतंत्र की बुनियाद को तबाह कर दिया है - चुनाव चोरी और जनता की आवाज़ कुचल कर।
आज नई दिल्ली में यही तस्वीर दिखी - पूरा शहर बंद, इंटरनेट बंद, छात्रों को पुलिस भी पीट रही थी और BJP के गुंडे भी।
डराने की जितनी भी कोशिश कर लें - मोदी समझ नहीं पा रहे कि 10-15 साल से चल रहा उनका खेल अब ख़त्म हो गया है। विपक्ष ने उन्हें चारों तरफ़ से घेर लिया है।
आज जिन युवाओं, छात्रों पर हमला हुआ है, उन्हें इंसाफ़ मिलेगा - और हमलावरों को करारा जवाब मिलेगा।
भारत के लोकतंत्र और संविधान को तबाह करने वाले मोगैम्बो मोदी और उनके साथी बच नहीं पाएँगे।

भारत के संविधान, लोकतंत्र और उसकी आवाज़ की रक्षा हर भारतीय की ज़िम्मेदारी है - और ये Process शुरू हो चुका है।
हिंदुस्तान की जनता को न्याय दिलाने का Process
लोकतंत्र में भरोसा वापस लाने का Process
देशद्रोहियों को सज़ा दिलाने का Process
और अब ये रुकने वाला नहीं है।

I am thankful to every INDIA alliance MP standing firm in defence of our democracy - in Parliament, outside on the streets, and today near Jantar Mantar.
They can stop a march. They can refuse a meeting. But they cannot stop the will of our people.
Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Gyanesh Kumar and the entire system will be brought to justice.

In 2025, I moved to Lucknow for work.
In ten months, I went to 85+ places and had over 250+ unique dishes from the city that's so proud of its food.

EAM Jaishankar’s silence isn’t just telling — it’s damning.
So I’ll ask again: How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan knew?
This wasn’t a lapse. It was a crime. And the nation deserves the truth.

You cannot do anything. If you could have done anything, you would have done it 11 months ago. The Zionist Occupied American government WANTS Israel to commit a wholesale genOcide in Palestine.

Dear Indian founders incorporating in the US,
Half a dozen people have now pinged to ask me about this. So I'm posting here to reduce the number of phone calls.
here's collective wisdom of a few hundred YC India startups ok the correct company structure.
h/t to Anand of @inklehq who is the guru for all of them. You should talk to @getak100 for everything.
1. You CANNOT use Stripe Atlas, Deel or whatever else to incorporate. That's an instant FEMA violation that cannot be recovered from later. For an Indian citizen to buy shares in a US co, u have to do an ODI that needs RBI approval (even for 20$) and a UIN number. If u have done this through Stripe/Clerky/whatever, ur fucked. Close the company and start again. There's no easily known way to recover.
2. Each founder in India has to create a LLP. Individuals cannot buy shares in the US - without an even longer process. This is why, this is known as "LLP route". The gifting route is no longer legal. Trust me - this is like ED territory.
3. Use ICICI for this 20$ ODI. They will charge 15k INR for it. However all the other banks know jackshit about startup founders ODI.
4. Once the ODI happens, the founders have effectively bought shares and now you can sign those YC SAFE and receive money. This is a 2 month long process. You cannot receive money before this. Dear VCs (global and Indian) - this is how long it takes. Please be kind.
5. The only two law firms (that I know of) that work for startup founders in doing this is @CommendaHQ and Inventus.
6. If u want to take money from Indian investors, open a new bank account in US. And take money here from ur Indian investors. This money is kept separate and NEVER used for any Indian operations (roundtripping).
As long as u don't mix Indian investor funds and us investor funds, all compliance is fine.
There is some options route to take money in india and issue options in the US.
7. Once all of this is done, establish a Indian subsidiary pvt ltd and buy out its shares by the US parent. This Indian subsidiary is where the founders and the Indian employees will receive salaries. U cannot receive salary from the US in india as a founder. This is a tax problem. Just don't do it. But it's a minor problem.

In 1996 Intel was worth >$100B and practically owned the semiconductor industry. Nvidia was unknown.
Now Nvidia is worth $3 Trillion, 30X the market cap of Intel.
How did Jensen Huang take on Intel and win?
It's the 21st Century David vs Goliath story.

I once took a cab in Los Angeles from the airport to a hotel. Paid the fare and a 10% tip as per norm. Driver wouldn't unlock the door and let me out because he wanted 20%. Since then, I always invest in a local SIM and take Uber when I travel abroad.
I do tip 10-15% in US restaurants, primarily because I have brown skin, a foreign accent, and am non-confrontational in nature. I have no wish to be racially taunted.
Tipping is by definition voluntary. As long as they pay the bill, the customer has every right to be stingy with a tip - it is not an entitlement of the server. If you feel you are entitled to extra money, just notify the customer of a service charge and then put it on the bill. Most European countries do that and nobody has a problem paying.
The US restaurant industry is just a cartel which canvasses politicians to legalize wage theft, and then passes on the responsibility to the consumer.
Your woke takes on tipping are just useful idiocy for a cartel of wage thiefs.
Thanks for listening to my TedX talk.
