Hello @narendramodi ji
I have been a dedicated BJP supporter since the days of Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Can never bring myself to vote for Congress
In 2009, however, I voted from my sofa in the living room—I didn't want Congress, but the alternative offered no compelling aspiration
Now, I am sensing a similar danger: people choosing to vote from their living rooms instead of turning up at polling booths
It is not because your achievements aren't recognized. We remain immensely proud of
The abrogation of #Article370 and decimation of Naxalism
#OperationSindoor & our massive push in defense manufacturing
Resolution of the #bankingNPA crisis and the #JAM revolution
Decisive leadership during #Covid19 and independent #energydiplomacy
99% #railelectrification, semiconductors, space reforms, and the historic #Ram Mandir
Standing firm on strategic interests like the #IndusWatersTreaty (IWT)
Yet on the ground, voter fatigue and frustration are setting in. The danger is not that voters love the opposition—it’s that middle-class abstention will allow an opportunistic coalition to return, reverse landmark reforms like 370, and target nationalist institutions.
India loved your forward-looking, problem-solving execution avatar. To transition India from basic welfare to a $5T+ economy, here is an earnest citizen’s submission for Reform 3.0
7 Action Points for Reform 3.0
1. Fast-track high-profile corruption cases:
Public fatigue is real regarding decades-old probes (such as the National Herald case). The public needs to see decisive legal closure and corrupt politicians facing real consequences.
2. Launch "Bharat Pragati Maasik Vivaran":
Step directly before the press and digital content creators once a month in an open Q&A format. Directly tackle 1–2 raging debates rather than sticking solely to scripted monologues.
3. Decentralize ministerial communication:
We appreciate how @AshwiniVaishnaw proactively explains semiconductors. We need the Education and Labour Ministries engaging just as proactively on jobs, curricula, and NEET reforms.
4. Unleash animal spirits for 10 Cr retail investors: Rationalize/remove LTCG and tax on dividends for domestic equity investors. The salaried middle class and retail SIP investors are funding India’s corporate growth—reward their discipline!
5. Move past the "Soshit/Vanchit" rhetoric: You have already delivered food, power, housing, and basic security. Hyper-focusing on caste-based politics is alienating the middle class and General Category. Re-anchor governance around merit, productivity, and the principles of natural justice.
6. Stop rehashing 2010; focus 100% on the future: Over 35% of the electorate does not remember and does not care about pre-2014 misgovernance. Leave historical post-mortems to white papers and think tanks. The youth want to hear about AI, quantum computing, high-paying jobs, and global competitiveness
7. Free temples & restore cultural civil society: Leave cultural reclamation (e.g., Mathura, temple management) to civil society trusts and devotees. Free Hindu temples from state bureaucratic control.
Aspirational India does not just seek basic survival
our aspirations have matured
Re-energize the middle class & you will turn living-room observers back into your fiercest grassroots champions
🙏🏻

I’ve always called 2004-14 the “lost decade” for India because amidst such a wonderful global environment for growth, India did precious little. Whatever growth happened then was the effect of reforms done by the Vajpayee government + global economic tailwinds.

Let's assess.
Looking at these relative-income data, the most striking acceleration in India's catch-up with the world came after 2010.
***India's GDP per capita relative to the world average (=100):
1990: 19
2010: 30
2025: 46
A gain of 11 points in the first 20 years. Then 16 points in the next 15.
***Against high-income economies (=100):
1990: 6
2010: 10
2025: 17
Gain of 4 points in the first 20 years. 7 after that.
***Against low-income economies (=100):
1990: 115
2010: 200
2025: 405
India went from barely above the low-income average to more than four times it.
***Now the most revealing chart is the one comparing India with middle-income economies.
1990: 46
2000: 52
2010: 53
2014: 53
2025: 64
India's relative position against its peers barely moved under MMS till 2014. Because other countries performed way better than us in this period. This was the era of peak globalization. We were the slowest among BRIC. This is why 2004-14 is our lost decade.
Then came a period of stronger relative convergence under Modi.
From 53 in 2014 to 64 in 2025, India gained 11 points — more than the 7-point gain across the entire 1990–2014 period. We are growing faster than the world and closing the gap with others. And that too in a period of Wars, Crisis, deglobalization, and protectionism.
That is the story hidden behind the headline GDP numbers.
Growth is one thing. Catching up with the world is another.
1991 was an important chapter in India's economic history.
But the data suggests that much of the relative catch-up visible in these charts came after 2010.
The real question is no longer just how fast India grows. It is how quickly India can close the income gap with the world — and turn that convergence into better living standards for its people.

Have you wondered why so many cockroaches and snakes are now coming into the open?
Why are they openly challenging the Indian state?
What changed?
What forced them into daylight?
Farmers know a technique.
They call it “SMOKING OUT.”
Smoke enters underground burrows.
Hidden pests rush to the surface.
Their hiding places become traps.
For decades, India fought an invisible war.
The dreaded 0.5 FRONT.
Terror cells massacred civilians.
Maoists ambushed our jawans.
Foreign handlers financed violence.
Gangsters smuggled arms and drugs.
Sponsored Protests stalemates reforms.

Now connect those dates.
Money leaves trails.
Fingerprints leave matches.
Devices leave evidence.
Networks leave patterns.
One by one.
The hiding places shrink.
This was India's great smoking-out strategy.
The smoke has entered the tunnels.
The underground has fewer exits.
The hidden may face daylight.
Perhaps the loudest phase is yet to come.
Because Bharat is learning to see in the dark.
Stay Vigilant!
Stay Tuned!

This is so so wrong. As someone who is passionate about Carnatic Music, I can completely understand and agree with Kaushiki Chakraborty here. though no one except the original composer can claim the creative content of the sahithyam, the swara part be it Raagalapana, RTP, ChiTTai Swaram, Kalpana Swaram are all part of the singer’s manodharmam. If you wanna use a singer’s Manodharma creativity, the least one could do is acknowledge and appreciate their effort in public. Hope Kaushiki takes the culprits to a legal conclusion.

LANDMARK JUDGMENT BY THE SUPREME COURT ON TEMPLE LAND🚨🚩
“Temple property belongs to the deity, not the government!”
The Supreme Court has declared a gift deed transferring temple inam land to the Tamil Nadu government NULL AND VOID, ruling that the state is a custodian of temple property, not its owner.
⚖️ The Court ordered ₹31,000 monthly rent retrospectively from March 8, 2019, ₹1 lakh in costs payable to the temple, and payment of outstanding rent arrears.
A clear legal message: Temple property must be protected and administered according to the law.

I stand with Kaushiki Chakraborty. She’s ultimate. I enjoyed watching her show clips from Singapore, years ago with AGAM where my son Aditya Kasyap was the Bassist. I have enjoyed watching many of her shows on YouTube. Her performance with her young son was amazing.

This is theft in broad day light.

This is FAKE News. No such admission has ever been made by UP CEO. It is a dangerous twist to a report and some X posts of @reporters_co and their reporters and editor. The reports and posts of @reporters_co are full of inconsistencies, assumptions, false imputations and designed to create a particular perception. But this post goes much beyond their fault. Such fake news, If unchecked, has the potential to create disharmony among people on the basis of religion and is dangerous to the unity and integrity of the country. Suitable and appropriate legal steps may kindly be taken in a timely manner by the concerned officials.
@Uppolice @cyberpolice_up
Shocking Admission ⚠️‼️
In a shocking and a huge admission the UP CEO admits that over 85000 + forms were Auto Deleted by ECI and they were all majorly Muslim Voters.
This is an admission and or a confession right out of the horse’s mouth.
Now this justifies the entire struggle/battle being fought against the present dispensation which seems to be shielding the @ECISVEEP & its CEC Gyanesh Kumar for Unconstitutionally and Unlawfully deleting voters belonging to one particular community, the Muslims.
Shouldn’t this admission alone be sufficient to bring CEC to books⁉️
Now the biggest question is why is Amit Shah’s Police shielding CEC Gyanesh Kumar in such a brazen and nefarious manner.

#WATCH | Delhi: On her book 'Hundred Years Young: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh', author Rashmi Samant says, "RSS is not your typical organization. RSS does generational work. The core motto of RSS is man-making, and that is not something that happens in one day or two days; it happens generationally... It has just been four generations, so the goal of the RSS is so massive and the undertaking is so vast that I do believe that the organization is only 100 years old."
Hi @prathoshap - this is a useful source for interesting stuff from our heritage. You are clearly learned in our texts but my idea of sharing was that there would be words and phrases in Sanskrit that refer to things based on what they are meant to accomplish - just the way you formed words in your Sanskrit LLM conversation
A few had asked me to dig through our ancient texts and see if there are any genuine references to what we would today call robotics / automata. Just a small caveat: robotics and automata are modern terms, so do not expect the texts to use those exact words.
With that in mind, let me tell you what I found (WIP)....
In 7th century Kanchi, a machine was made to say "this one is hungry" in Sanskrit.
The man who wrote it down was Dandin / Dandi, poet at the Pallava court. His great grandfather Damodara had come south from the Vakataka desha and served Simhavishnu at Kanchi.
4 generations of court poets, and Dandin was the last of them. In the opening chapters of his prose romance, the Avantisundari (also called Avantisundarīkathā), he tells his own life story. That is where 2 engineers walk in.
An architect comes to meet the young Dandin. Page 12 of the Trivandrum edition introduces him: Lalitalaya, master of the 96 kinds of temple and of the 6 classes of yantra, the Sanskrit word for machine.
His father was a sthapati named Mandhata, whose kalpavriksha, an artificial wish-fulfilling tree, had once astonished a man named Durjaya.
Then Dandin reports what the town gossiped about the son. He showed machine-men fighting a mock duel. He built an artificial cloud that brought down real rain.
He had an engine that split the foreheads of enemy elephants with shafts as thick as pestles. He composed a life of Shudraka in Tamil.
Then comes the line about the father....
"asya kila pitra yavanan apy atishayanena kshudhito'yam iti yantrenabhidhapitam"
By his father, they say, the words "kshudhito'yam" were made to come out of a machine, surpassing even the Yavanas. And the son, they say, is greater still.
Kshudhito'yam means "this one is hungry".
Michael Rabe reads the machine as a starving ascetic figure saying it of itself, I am hungry. That is Rabe's reading. Dandin's sentence gives only the words and the machine.
Yavana meant the Greeks, and Greek automata were the world standard then. Philo of Byzantium wrote a manual for building them around 250 BCE. Heron of Alexandria made model birds sing with hidden air pipes in the 1st century CE. Dandin is claiming a Pallava artisan beat that.
This was not one stray reference. Kautilya's Arthashastra, centuries older, already sorts war machines into fixed and mobile. Somadeva, in the 10th century, describes a mechanical fountain house with automaton women spraying sandalwood water.
In the 11th century, King Bhoja gives machines a full chapter and then refuses to reveal how they work, saying it would ruin the wonder.
How the hungry machine worked, nobody wrote down. The text survives in one damaged manuscript, and even the editions do not read this line the same way.
Everyone knows Heron of Alexandria. Who has heard of Mandhata?
